Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
b.u.t.tface believed the happiest moment in his life was enjoying Smelly Tofu for the first time!
And this present moment would be the most joyful moment in his life!
Xu Que and his teammates were standing outside the Heaven Palace Academy’s treasure house with delighted and eager smiles on their faces.
With the Deputy Dean’s Token of Pa.s.sing, Xu Que could go to all the places in the Heaven Palace Academy freely. This treasure house, which was protected by the most powerful restrictive spells, was exceptional.
b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude had tried their best to get into this place. But all their efforts had failed. Thanks to Xu Que’s token, they could get into this place easily. How could they stay calm?
“I am going to succeed in the place where I previously failed! Today, this place will absolutely be emptied by me!” b.u.t.tface shouted, raising his paws to get rid of the frustration he had felt.
“Oh, yes! I totally agree with you!” Duan Jiude also shouted.
Xu Que rolled his eyes and said with embarra.s.sment, “Don’t be so despicable! We should stick to our bottom line! According to the rules of the Exploding Heavens Faction, we shall just have a look in this place, and we won’t touch even a needle or a piece of thread! Understand?”
Hearing this, Mo Junchen was shocked as he thought, “Do members of the Exploding Heavens Faction really have this bottom line?
“They won’t even touch a needle or a piece of thread! And they will only have a look in this treasure house! Could it be possible?”
After a short while, his doubts were blown away when b.u.t.tface said as he made funny faces, “We got you! We will take away everything except a needle and a piece of thread!”
“Right!” Xu Que nodded his head satisfactorily. Principle and bottom line are always important for an organization!
Mo Junchen almost spat blood after hearing that. It turned out that they would only leave a needle and a piece of thread in this place!
“Little brat, just open the door! I’ve run out of patience!” b.u.t.tface urged.
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled and placed the token on the door of the treasure house!
BOOM!
Along with a big bang, the last restrictive spells on the door were canceled. The ma.s.sive door opened slowly, creating a huge noise.
However, this place was full of all kinds of restrictive spells. The apprentices of the academy didn’t have many reasons to approach this area. So n.o.body was startled by the noise they were making.
When the door was opened, a cloud of magnificent Celestial and Spiritual Qi gushed into their faces, which was very refres.h.i.+ng.
Apparently, numerous precious elixirs were kept in the treasure house.
All of them were shocked when they saw the inner structure of the treasure house.
Like a tower or a famous museum, this treasure house had more than ten floors. There was a wooden spiral staircase at the center. Countless pills, elixirs, and magic art books were placed on the four walls. On the topmost floor, they saw many magic artifacts and even Celestial Artifacts!
“Hah! Hah! They are all mine!” b.u.t.tface laughed and was about to rush into the treasure house.
Xu Que’s expression got crafty and he pressed b.u.t.tface to the ground. Then he looked into the treasure house carefully.
Under the wooden staircase, there was an old man sitting.
The old man had his eyes closed as if he was taking a rest. His aura was concealed. However, Xu Que felt upset when he saw this old man.
Obviously, this was another extremely powerful cultivator!
“What?”
At this time, the old man, who seemed to have just woken up, opened his eyes and said in surprise as he looked at Xu Que and his teammates, “Why are so many people here? Does it mean the academy is holding a contest? Okay! Just show me the personal instructions of the Dean!”
“Personal instructions? What are you talking about? Old man, look at the man who is standing beside me! He is the new Deputy Dean of the academy!” b.u.t.tface opened his eyes wide and shouted at the old man as he pointed at Xu Que.
b.u.t.tface was also surprised by the old man, because he had fixed his eyes on the precious items in the treasure house and didn’t expect anyone was staying here.
“The new Deputy Dean?” The old man frowned and said as he looked at Xu Que, shaking his head, “The Deputy Dean has the right to come into this place. You can read all the magic art books here. But you are not allowed to take away anything from this place unless you can show me the personal instructions of the Dean!”
After saying that, the old man closed his eyes and continued to have his rest.
Apparently, the old man thought Xu Que and his teammates had come here to read the magic art books. So he didn’t think too much about them and ignored them after explaining the rules of the treasure house to them.
Hearing this, Xu Que and his teammates were quite disappointed.
It turned out that they could only take away the things in the treasure house with the personal instructions of the Dean!
D*mn! We are in a lot of trouble now!
“Little brat, what should we do now?” b.u.t.tface asked by sending a message to Xu Que. Actually, he tried to ask whether Xu Que would plunder this place by releasing the two souls!
“Let’s check those magic art books first!”
Xu Que said as he shook his head after a short hesitation.
He was also thinking about this issue and frowning. If he released the two souls, he was quite sure he could empty this place. However, once he released the souls, he would have to recover them with the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. Otherwise, the two souls would disappear forever.
Before releasing the souls, he had to check whether he could find the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines or other elixirs with similar effects in this treasure house!
If the loot would be enough to recover the consumption of the two souls, this treasure house was worth plundering as long as the two souls could deter that old man.
Xu Que and his teammates started to walk around the treasure house.
Xu Que found countless magic arts and elixirs. But he couldn’t find any Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. He found some elixirs with similar effects, but the quant.i.ties were very low.
It didn’t mean the Heaven Palace Academy was not wealthy. Some elixirs in this treasure house were much more precious than the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. But Xu Que didn’t need those elixirs at this moment.
“D*mn! I have failed to find even one Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine here!” b.u.t.tface cursed ruefully after checking this place carefully several times.
“It is the special elixir of the Divine Farmer Clan! It is quite difficult for the rest of the sects to obtain this elixir. And that’s why it is so precious!” Liu Jingning said, shaking her head. She hadn’t realized that not one Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vine could be found in the Heaven Palace Academy!
In comparison, those guardians from the Divine Farmer Clan had given 200 Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines to Xu Que, which meant that they were really sincere and the cost had not been too high for them.
“Little brat, what should we do now? Will we just give up?” b.u.t.tface asked reluctantly as he looked at Xu Que.
He couldn’t stand that he was not able to take anything when there were so many precious items!
“I have an idea!”
Duan Jiude said in a low voice with a smile. “We can go back to the Divine Farmer Clan first! Then we will return… Heh! Heh! Heh!”
“No, this is too troublesome. When Li Qingshan, Li Qinghe, and their underlings come back, it will be quite difficult for us to plunder this place!” b.u.t.tface said, shaking his head.
An idea occurred to Xu Que. He said, frowning, “What Duan Jiude said is correct! We should go to the Divine Farmer Clan first, because we can’t plunder the treasure house of the Heaven Palace Academy now!”
“Why?” b.u.t.tface was surprised by Xu Que’s words.
“Don’t forget Hongyan is still performing secluded cultivation here. If we offend the Heaven Palace Academy, we can’t ensure the safety of Hongyan even if we have the a.s.sistance of the two souls! We should play for time by going to the Divine Farmer Clan first. When we come back, Hongyan will have finished her secluded cultivation. At that time, we will plunder the treasure house and leave together with Hongyan! Isn’t that a perfect plan?” Xu Que said with a smile.
Hearing this, b.u.t.tface said by nodding his head, “Okay! I will leave the precious items here temporarily. But, little brat, don’t try to take exclusive possession of these items. You should learn to share with us!”
“Calm down! Actually, these items are useless for me. If I really decide to plunder them, it will be just for fun!” Xu Que said with a faint smile.
b.u.t.tface and Duan Jiude smiled after hearing this. Heh! This guy is acting tough again!
