Chapter 630: Line Up Please, I"m Collecting Protection Fee! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All the cultivators present were stunned by the Demon Venerable"s strong Qi.
Though it was well known that Ten Thousand Year Supremacies were strong, not many had seen a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy in real life.
Even the cultivators of the Twelve Factions appeared shaken.
Sure, there were Ten Thousand Year Supremacies present in their family and sects, but they barely ever appeared.
Amongst the numerous cultivators present, only Qing Ruyu had seen a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy.
Hence, it was natural for everyone to feel intimidated by the Demon Venerable"s Qi.
"Hand me all your spatial rings, I will check one by one," the Demon Venerable ordered in a calm tone.
Following its orders, the cultivators handed over their spatial rings one by one.
The Form Transformation Pills were indeed helpful to the Demon Venerables, allowing them to stand out even more in their Demonic Beast Tribe.
One young man of the Twelve Factions confidently handed over his spatial ring.
The Demon Venerable used his immense mental power to explore the insides of the spatial ring, gaining view of every single object.
Nodding its head in contentment, it retrieved a dark green pill kept in a jade bottle. "Not bad. I"ll take this Form Transformation Pill. You can keep everything else."
After that, it returned the spatial ring to the cultivator, completely uninterested in the other objects in the spatial ring.
"Thank you, Demon Venerable," the young man said as he bowed to the Demon Venerable, feeling grateful for being allowed to keep the rest of his resources. They were enough for him to use till he attained the Thousand Year King realm!
The rest of the cultivators hurriedly moved forward, some smiling, some frowning.
Those who had the Form Transformation Pills naturally were happy.
After all, Form Transformation Pills were useless to humans. Hence, everyone was only concerned with the remaining resources.
On the other hand, those who did not have the Form Transformation Pills felt uneasy, knowing that they had to surrender 90% of their resources.
"I"m finished this time."
One cultivator grunted to himself.
"So what if you have to give up 90% of your resources? Isn"t it better than being dead and buried in the ground? Gaining 10% of the resources isn"t that bad."
Those who heard his sigh could not help but console him. They themselves felt lucky to be alive.
Surprisingly, the cultivator became more upset upon hearing the others.
"I got a Tian Peng Fruit! Surrendering it will make me regret forever."
"What?! Tian Peng Fruit?" a cultivator gasped.
Tian Peng Fruit, the divine fruit that could improve tendons and bones! Its value was a hundred times that of a spirit herb!
Moreover, the Tian Peng Fruit could be considered a high-grade divine medicine, being able to improve the cultivator"s physical strength and speed by three to five times!
Therefore, whoever encountered that situation would feel upset for sure.
Brus.h.i.+ng shoulders with such a valuable divine medicine was no doubt a painful experience.
Unfortunately, one could not simply defy the order of a Demon Venerable.
The fate of the Tian Peng Fruit was practically sealed!
When it was the man"s turn to surrender his resources, some cultivators could not help but find themselves lucky.
Having overheard the two"s conversations, the rest looked on with surprise, but they were disappointed when they realized that the man had no Form Transformation Pills.
"Without the Form Transformation Pills, wouldn"t he have to surrender 90% of his resources? The Tian Peng Fruit would have been a great gain."
Scanning the spatial ring, the Demon Venerable looked disappointed, but its face quickly lit up upon seeing the Tian Peng Fruit.
This kind of divine medicine was also beneficial to the Demonic Beast Tribe"s future generations.
The young man, on the other hand, was close to crying. It was clearly due to his affinity with the Tian Peng Fruit, but he had to surrender it to a robber!
The young man cursed in his heart as he watched the Demon Vulnerable take away his resources and the Tian Peng Fruit.
I suppose this can be considered protection fee? Bei Feng thought to himself as he watched the Demon Venerable retrieve resources from the spatial rings.
Lu Wei and the gang had also obtained a good amount of resources. Six out of eight of them had obtained Form Transformation Pills.
The two who did not obtain Form Transformation Pills had less resources in their spatial rings.
Seems like the valuable resources of the two have to be pa.s.sed to the other six cultivators for safekeeping , Bei Feng thought to himself.
In this way the resources would not be taken away by the Demon Venerable.
"My Lord, this is my gain."
When it was Qing Ruyu"s turn, everyone turned to look.
As a woman, especially a pretty one, it was normal for her to be at an advantage. Bowing to the Demon Vulnerable, Qing Ruyu took out the Form Transformation Pill and offered to it.
"Good, not bad!"
It was hard to read the Demon Venerable"s facial expression, but it was rare for it to compliment someone like that.
11 jade bottles were lined up, containing a total of 11 Form Transformation Pills!
The Demon Venerable nodded in satisfaction, not regretting his decision to invite these elites instead of randomly catching cultivators.
The number of Form Transformation Pills it gained this time round was no joke!
Even the young lad of the s.h.i.+ Family was able to offer eight pills, while the skinny boy of the Primal Devil Sect was able to offer nine pills.
Most people present were smiling due to the gains.
Even though the Demon Venerable had to share the Form Transformation Pills with the other 19 tribes, there would still be enough pills for its own tribe.
"I have said before that whoever had the most Form Transformation Pills would be rewarded with a Thousand Stars Vine!" the Demon Venerable announced.
The Thousand Stars Vine was another highly ranked divine medicine.
It was a special type of divine medicine as it could not directly improve one"s skills.
However, it could help the young with strengthening their foundations!
Even an ordinary child could become a rare talent when placed in the Thousand Stars Vine!
Though expensive, the 13 great sects and five families all had this divine medicine.
After all, being strong did not necessarily mean the future generations would become strong.
In order to pa.s.s down the legacy, one would definitely need a gifted cultivator to appear in the family.
Having such abilities made Thousand Stars Vines highly coveted by great sects and families. Even the 12 families were eyeing it.
Pretending not to notice everyone"s desire, the Demon Venerable mocked them secretly. If there was such a good thing, it would be used on its future generation. How could it go to them?
Though this Thousand Stars Vine looked ordinary, another Demon Venerable who specialized with herbs once told it that this Thousand Stars Vine would only be able to produce three to five flowers once it matured!
