Chapter 305: Plunder

The expression on Oldman Zeng’s old face changed five times before he squeezed out a smile with gritted teeth. “Little Daoist Zhen, please wait a moment while we prepare them!”
He then rode his flight dharma treasure into the dragon palace through the collapsed main gate.
Zhen Congming looked at Oldman Zeng’s back and felt the satisfaction of revenge. He turned to look at Hao Ren and calculated. “70% of the loot goes to me, and you get the rest. Little White gets the three items. Do you have any objections?”
While Oldman Zeng was still inside, Zhen Congming already determined the allocation of the loot, showing his total disdain for the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
If it had been in the past, the West Ocean Dragon Palace wouldn’t have admitted defeat so easily even though Little Daoist Zhen was Qiu Niu’s disciple. However, most powerful cultivators in the West Ocean Dragon Palace were all injured at the moment, and none of them could battle against Little Daoist Zhen’s super dharma treasures.
“I don’t need anything. You can just give Little White the three items,” Hao Ren said.
The destruction of half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace was already beyond his expectations, and he didn’t mind giving Little Daoist Zhen all the loot.
Hearing Hao Ren’s words, Zhen Congming nodded immediately; he never hid his greed. He was very stingy, and it would be a miracle if someone got some materials or low-tier dharma treasures from him.
Little White swam around Zhen Congming, and Zhen Congming chatted with it before digging out three golden elixir pills and tossing them into Little White’s mouth.
He was stingy with everyone except Little White. After all, Little White was his own kind and quite a smart creature.
Little White swallowed the three golden elixir pills, and its fur sparkled with golden lights. When the golden sparks disappeared, its hair returned to its snow-white color.
Major Soul Returning Pills!
If Hao Ren knew what these elixir pills were, he would have scolded Zhen Congming for his wasteful behavior. After all, Major Soul Returning Pills were level 6 elixir pills that could instantly revive cultivators who were below the Foundation Establishment Realm as long as they didn’t die too long ago and their bodies were well-kept.
Zhen Congming fed Little White these level 6 elixir pills for their side effects; they could elevate spirit beasts’ intelligence.
To Zhen Congming, Little White was still quite dumb, and it would take at least 500 to 600 years for Little White to activate its intelligence on its own. However, if Little White stayed with him, it would probably turn into the human form in 100 years.
Hao Ren watched as Little White swam around Zhen Congming; he knew that this spirit beast had joined Zhen Congming’s camp. The Essence Replenishment Pills he had saved up for it were now beneath its notice.
If Little White didn’t want them, he could still take them. At this thought, Hao Ren took out three basic Essence Replenishment Pills and swallowed them.
The elixir pills melted in his mouth before traveling down his throat to his dantian. Instantly, a surge of intense essences flowed around his body and replenished his lost energy.
Zhen Congming’s conch had consumed 80% of his nature essence. After eating three Essence Replenishment Pills, he felt energetic again.
His dragon core was again active and quickly began absorbing the abundant essences in his body. He casually released a sword energy, and it split the water and shot deeper into the ocean 1,000 meters away.
Three basic Essence Replenishment Pills were enough to replenish the energy of a cultivator who was on Zhen-level or the Core Formation Realm.
Hao Ren realized the strategic importance of elixir pills in battles from this experience.
Of course, the great effect was partly attributed to Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which was a five-elemental cultivation technique. The moment the elixir pills entered his body, the technique divided the essences into hundreds of portions which were then completely absorbed by his dragon core.
While Hao Ren and Zhen Congming were resting, Oldman Zeng came back with six elders and six carriages full of treasures through the collapsed gate.
Each carriage was filled respectively with agate, pearls, crystals, corals, white jade, and ember.
Oldman Zeng and the six elders pushed the carriages to Zhen Congming and stood aside quietly.
Zhen Congming glanced at them, snorted, and walked casually to the carriage full of pearls. He picked up one peal and studied it carefully.
Each of the pearls in the carriage was as big as a child’s palm, clear and flawless.
Zhen Congming weighed the pearl in his hand in satisfaction before injecting a little nature essence into it. The pearl emitted a soft glow.
In the mortal world, it was a priceless treasure.
However, Zhen Congming didn’t value it; he threw it at the reef where he had been sitting.
Crack!
The fragile pearl shattered, and the milky white powder fell onto the ground.
Oldman Zeng forced himself to remain calm; his body s.h.i.+vered when Little Daoist Zhen destroyed that pearl, but he didn’t dare to kill Qiu Niu’s disciple.
His only wish was to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible.
“Humph!” Zhen Congming snorted at Oldman Zeng. He picked up some of the powder and rubbed it in his fingers before finally standing up.
He wasn’t going to use them for decorations; they were going to be used in making dharma treasures. It didn’t matter how beautiful they were; if they were not pure, they were useless to him.
He was quite satisfied with the result of his test.
The six carriages of treasures were all top-grade materials. Obviously, the West Ocean Dragon Palace had taken out the best of their stock.
Seeing Hao Ren glancing at the treasures, Zhen Congming eyed him with suspicion. “You said that you didn’t want them.”
He was afraid that Hao Ren would regret his decision faced with such perfect treasures.
To tell the truth, Hao Ren regretted it a little when he saw the s.h.i.+ning treasures. However, he had agreed to give up the loot, so he had to pretend that he didn’t see them.
Zhen Congming opened his sleeves and pointed at the six carriages with his left hand, murmuring, “Take!”
Swoosh… The s.h.i.+ning treasures rushed into his sleeves together with the six carriages.
Oldman Zeng gasped at the sight. He wanted to show his sincerity and took out all these treasures, and he thought that Little Daoist Zhen’s storage s.p.a.ce wouldn’t be able to take all the treasures. He expected Little Daoist Zhen to take some of the best.
To his surprise, Little Daoist Zhen had taken them all!
Oldman Zeng’s heart hurt so much that he almost choked!
In fact, the West Ocean Dragon Clan’s territories were not rich with resources, and it had taken the dragon palace 200 to 300 years to collect those six carriages of treasures. However, they all became Little Daoist Zhen’s private property in one instant!
He didn’t know that Little Daoist Zhen’s storage s.p.a.ce was, in fact, a vast warehouse as big as a large soccer field!
After putting away the treasures, Zhen Congming shook his sleeves and looked at Oldman Zeng.
“Hey! Where are the three items? Do you think I have a bad memory?” He demanded rudely.
s.h.i.+vering, Oldman Zeng was close to becoming the first dragon cultivator to have a heart attack. After a mental struggle, he took out the three items and placed them before Zhen Congming.
The first item was the Kirin Purple Gold Crown. With the embroidered pattern of G.o.dly beasts and the top-grade purple gold threads, the crown was waterproof and fireproof.
The second item was the Lotus Cloud Boots. Hao Ren couldn’t tell what materials they were made of, but they looked so light and exquisite that he felt like they could fly at any moment.
The third item was the Platinum Chain Mail. The magnificent chain mail emitted s.h.i.+ning silver lights, and Hao Ren suspected that it must be a very powerful dharma treasure.
Seeing the reluctant expression on Oldman Zeng’s face, Zhen Congming waved his hand casually and said, “Don’t worry, old man. Do you think I would rob you?”
“No, no…” Oldman Zeng squeezed out a smile.
“Do you think my big brother would rob you?” Zhen Congming asked again, pointing at Hao Ren.
Oldman Zeng looked at Hao Ren and forced another smile. “Of course not…”
Zhen Congming’s face fell. “Then, why are you looking so anxious? The three items are for Little White. If they don’t fit, I’ll return them to you!”
Then, he beckoned to Little White. “Little White, come here!”
Joyously, Little White trotted through the water to Zhen Congming’s side while Hao Ren also walked over to watch.
Little Daoist Zhen picked up the Platinum Chain Mail and put it on Little White.
The chain mail wouldn’t fit if Little White turned into its snow lion form. However, if it remained in its current form, the chain mail was too big for it.
Hao Ren took two steps forward and put the boots on Little White.
The Lotus Cloud Boots were light as paper in his hands, and he lifted Little White’s rear legs and put the boots on it.
Zhen Congming then put the crown on Little White’s head before standing up.
Wearing two boots, one crown, and a chain mail, Little White looked weird.
Little White shook its head at Hao Ren, looking very uncomfortable.
“Well, it seems like they don’t fit,” Zhen Congming said as he rubbed his chin and studied Little White.
Oldman Zeng was exhilarated at his words. After all, as the disciple of Qiu Niu, Little Daoist Zhen couldn’t eat his own words, right?
He was relieved that the three ultimate treasures of the West Ocean Dragon Palace would return to his hands.
He walked forward and was about to take them back when Zhen Congming picked up the three items and said, “But they will fit after some adjustments.”
Two green flames appeared in Little Daoist Zhen’s palms, and the chain mail made of platinum immediately melted.
Now, Oldman Zeng was dumbfounded.
The dharma treasure that was handed down to him from the previous dragon king was now a ball of metal liquid!
He felt like he couldn’t take it anymore!
