Chapter 345: Take Whatever I Want

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

After Hao Ren walked out from Elder Xingyue’s palace, Premier Xia walked him to the gate. Then, Hao Ren went back to his home by the sea.

As in the legendary butterfly effect, the situation of East Ocean City was changing in an unexpected manner, and it was getting messier. The human cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven were scouting around East Ocean City more and more.

Taking the excuse of the destruction of their palace, the West Ocean Dragon Clan had quickly formed the Anti-East Ocean Alliance, and Qin Shaoyang would soon come to East Ocean and become the regional inspector.

Zhao Haoran, the most powerful figure of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, would return to China soon with burning rage.

Back in his room, Hao Ren flipped through an architecture book before entering the state of cultivation.

The night passed peacefully. Hao Ren exhaled deeply and raised his hands parallel to the floor. Hundreds of sword energies that were flying in the room quickly entered his body through the acupoints.

The ocean waves in the morning surged steadily, and its sounds washed away Hao Ren’s messy thoughts and refreshed him.

When he went downstairs to make some breakfast, Xie Yujia walked out of her room.

Seeing that she rose so early, he knew she must have spent last night cultivating. The essence on the land was not as thick as that on Fifth Heaven, but that wasn’t an excuse for laziness.

However, at Zhen Congming’s reminder, Xie Yujia no longer used the Life-Death Notes to summon the nature essence, and thus no surges of essence came last night.

“You…”

“You…”

Looking at each other, they spoke at the same time and then closed their mouth simultaneously.

“You didn’t sleep last night?” Hao Ren asked again.

“No.” Xie Yujia shook her head slightly. “You didn’t either, right?”

“I just solidified my realm. I wasn’t tired anyway,” Hao Ren said.

“Same here.” She nodded, blushing.

“Well, well. You two are having such sweet love talks at such an early hour.” In his loose silk pajamas, Zhen Congming skipped out of his room while Little White walked out with him with its tongue sticking out of its mouth.

Seeing its full belly, Hao Ren wondered how many elixir pills it had eaten last night in Zhen Congming’s room.

Xie Yujia’s blush deepened, and she asked in a hurry, “Should we go to Fifth Heaven again today?”

“Of course!” Zhen Congming lifted his head abruptly. “I’ll teach you the elixir pill recipes today!”

“Let’s go then!” Hao Ren urged.

With Qin Shaoyang moving to East Ocean City and the exams at the Dragon God Shrine drawing near, Hao Ren wanted to take each minute he had to increase his cultivation strength so that he would have more confidence and greater ability to protect himself in this complicated situation.

His impatience made him feel like a cultivation maniac, similar to Su Han.

Zhen Congming was eager to teach Xie Yujia how to make elixir pills while Xie Yujia wanted to charge at the Foundation Establishment Realm as soon as possible. Agreeing, the three of them shot toward Fifth Heaven immediately.

The three sects around the Ethereal Summit had declared that the Herb King Valley was now a forbidden zone, and no disciple was allowed to get close to it. Therefore, when Hao Ren and others came to their base on Fifth Heaven, they found it quieter than before.

Gradually, the three sects had turned from rivals fighting for the control of the Herb King Valley into allies depending on the Herb King Valley. From their perspective, the longer the Senior stayed in the valley, the safer this area would be, and the more benefits they would get.

The moment they entered the valley, Zhen Congming went to check the growth of the spiritual herbs, making Hao Ren think of his own elementary days when he was assigned by his teacher to raise caterpillars.

Seeing Zhen Congming’s anxious look when he studied the spiritual herbs, Hao Ren snickered. This kid had stolen entire herb gardens from big sects and never showed any sympathy for them, but now he was extremely concerned with the spiritual herbs he had planted with his own hands.

Xie Yujia also walked over to check the results of the transplantations. She found none of the spiritual herbs withered; instead, they looked more vibrant and brighter than the day before. She knew last night’s mist had reinvigorated them.

With its heavy fog and humid climate, the valley was full of wildflowers and grass, a perfect place for growing spiritual herbs.

The valley got the name ‘Herb King Valley’ because a lot of wild spiritual herbs grew there. Of course, the herbs of such level could only be materials for the three small sects, and they were far inferior to the spiritual herbs Zhen Congming stole from the big sects.

“I’ll go up and cultivate…” Lightly kicking the ground, Hao Ren flew toward the cliff like a phantom.

“Wait!” Zhen Congming drove his black disk and stopped him.

“What do you want?” Hao Ren asked him in bafflement.

“Big brother!” Zhen Congming used his best trick, sweet-talking Hao Ren by calling him ‘Big brother’.

“I’m going to get an elixir furnace for big sister. You must come with me!”

Standing in the field, Xie Yujia listened to Zhen Congming calling them brother and sister. Being forced to call them this way, Zhen Congming sounded weird.

Hao Ren looked down at Xie Yujia and thought that they indeed needed an elixir furnace. He stood onto Zhen Congming’s black disk and shouted at Little White, “Little White, you stay here and protect Yujia!”

“Chirp!”

Little White skipped around Xie Yujia cheerfully.

Zhen Congming’s flight dharma treasure shot out of the valley like a dash of black light. In his mind, since he was not friends with the sects on Fifth Heaven, he didn’t need to be polite with them and would take whatever he wanted.

If he wanted to live in the valley long term, he would have stolen a set of sandalwood table and chairs, a tea set, and a big and engraved bed…

Soon, a sect built on a high mountain appeared before them.

Hao Ren found the scene quite familiar. Before he could react, Zhen Congming’s disk had broken into the sect’s gate and was flying toward the elixir-making building where white smoke was floating out.

The so-called defense array formation was as thin as a piece of paper in front of Zhen Congming, the array formation master.

At the moment, there were three cultivators making elixirs in the place.

Since the six-floored elixir making building had heavenly fires in it, it was built with hundreds of tons of black steel and looked like a huge round tower.

Without special permission from the elders, ordinary disciples were not allowed to enter.

At that moment, the White Sand Sect’s elixir elder and two of his disciples were in the room making elixir pills.

Bang!

The heavy black steel gate was banged open!

Standing on the black disk, Zhen Congming and Hao Ren appeared before them

Hao Ren thought that Zhen Congming would try to steal and didn’t expect him just to rob. Hurriedly, he released dozens of sword energies which instantly sent the three stunned cultivators flying.

The elixir making building was big; its highest floor stored the elixir pills, and the rest of the floors were used for making the pills. The fifth floor housed the best elixir furnaces.

Standing before them were three elixir furnaces. The left one and the right one were both made of black copper, and there was a fire burning inside. The middle one was smaller, and it was made of white jade.

At first glance, Zhen Congming liked the white jade elixir furnace in the middle, but his experienced eyes told him it was protected by 30 layers complicated array formations. With his skills as an array formation master, it would take him at least one hour to break them one by one.

He made a quick decision. Pointing at the two elixir furnaces on both sides, he ordered, “This and this. Take them!”

Hao Ren pushed with his hands at the lids of the furnaces, and the fires in them immediately surged up. Zhen Congming opened his mouth, and the precious heavenly fires the White Sand Sect used to make elixir pills were instantly swallowed by Zhen Congming!

The elixir elder and his two disciples gasped at the sight!

The two heavenly fires had been gifts from the Sky Mountain Sect on Sixth Heaven 200 years ago, and they had never died off. However, the heavenly fires that could melt everything now had been swallowed by this kid!

They didn’t know that before transforming into the human form, Zhen Congming was level 10 demon beast, and the fire he spat out was hundreds of times more powerful than the so-called heavenly fires! For him, swallowing such low-tier elixir making fires wouldn’t hurt him; instead, they were nutrients to his body!

Ignoring their stunned faces, Zhen Congming quickly opened his storage space and tossed the hot elixir furnaces into it. While he did it, he dumped the half-done elixir pills that were in the furnaces onto the ground.

Discovering the upheaval in the elixir making building, the White Sand Sect elders and disciples all flew toward it on their flying swords.

After the herb garden incident, their reaction this time was much swifter. However, as a veteran thief, Zhen Congming was faster.

Swoosh! The black disk broke out of a window, and the two figures standing on the disk flew to the east rapidly.

The speed of this dharma treasure was equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and it was too fast for the White Sand Sect cultivators to catch.

Zhen Congming brought Hao Ren with him to protect him in the case that he was surrounded by the White Sand Sect cultivators. With his Zhen-level strength, Hao Ren was a powerful fighter on Fifth Heaven.

Hao Ren looked back at the uproar and saw a collapsed grand hall. He suddenly remembered that it was the White Sand Sect which he and Zhao Yanzi had broken into last time!

With their grand hall destroyed, the herbs in the herb garden stolen, and elixir furnaces robbed, White Sand Sect was indeed out of luck!

“Mission accomplished! Let’s head back!” Pleased, Zhen Congming turned to another direction.

He was skilled in fleeing. He had purposely flown to the east, so the White Sand Sect would track them to the east instead of in the west where the Ethereal Summit was located.

Meanwhile, in the White Sand Sect, Sect Master Wang was jumping with fury. He just saw two big figures from the Sky Mountain Sect off, and now his sect was robbed of two elixir furnaces! More importantly, the three elixir furnaces and the heavenly fires were gifts from the Sky Mountain Sect, and he didn’t know how to explain the incident to the Sky Mountain Sect.

“The cultivator who is using sword energies is indeed the partner of the kid who had stolen from my herb garden!” He regretted that his sect had tried to kill and rob the Core Formation Realm cultivator. Obviously, the cultivator now targeted the White Sand Sect!

This was a big sect, and they couldn’t move it to another place. More importantly, he had no clue about the identities of the two robbers!

Sect Master Wang was desperate.
