Chapter 368: Chapter 368: I’ve Given You Everything I Have
"Damn it, what the hell are you doing?"
"I told you to suppress the Green Demon, not to eat everything here."
"AAAGH! My Great Opportunity..."
Even though he already had many cultivation resources, who would think these things were too many?
Chen Pingping cursed while making the Earth Chicken break all kinds of taboos, then packed everything up, carrying away all the caskets he had seen before.
By the time Guang Xiaoyu caught up, the place was barren.
With a face full of black lines, she said, "Senior Brother, wait for me!"
Miscalculation, miscalculation. Just now, I was lost in thought inside the palace and missed out on these Great Opportunities.
Twenty minutes passed.
Everything within the Ancient City had been thoroughly looted by Chen Pingping. Guang Xiaoyu, looking pitiful, said to him, "Senior Brother, do you remember you have a gentle and cute little junior sister?"
"I don’t remember," Chen Pingping glanced at her sideways, "I don’t know you."
"SOB... Give me a little."
"You’re a demon cultivator. What do you need these things for?"
"You don’t cultivate, yet you want them?" Guang Xiaoyu retorted.
"That’s different. Your Senior Brother here has grand plans," Chen Pingping said with a smile.
He wasn’t certain what was inside the caskets—whether it was the terrible Sleeping Ones, the horrifying Power of Death, or some kind of taboo.
Therefore, he couldn’t give them to Guang Xiaoyu.
As for the other things, he hadn’t found the ancient scrolls yet, so he couldn’t give them either.
Besides, he truly did have a big plan for the future and might need a lot of cultivation resources.
Guang Xiaoyu, feeling helpless, asked, "What about those caskets?"
"They’re all here!" Chen Pingping answered.
"There might be bad omens inside! Or the Power of Curse. Senior Brother, I think it’s best that I handle these items," Guang Xiaoyu said, batting her eyes.
HEH HEH.
Chen Pingping smiled, "Alright, we can talk about that when you can beat me."
Guang Xiaoyu almost spat up blood. If you don’t want to give them, just say so directly. How many youngsters can beat you?
Next, Chen Pingping didn’t rush to leave; instead, he started looking around inside the Ancient City to see if anything had been missed.
Guang Xiaoyu followed suit and nonchalantly mentioned, "Senior Brother, I want to cultivate in the Nine Heavens."
HUH?
Chen Pingping was taken aback and stopped in his tracks, staring closely at her. "Why?"
She explained, "In Fairy Valley, there is a Sword Saint undergoing the Cultivating Demon process. He wants to pave a new way for demon cultivators and those on the Righteous Path. I want to go see, and if he succeeds, maybe it could suppress the Primitive Demon God within me."
I see!
Chen Pingping pondered for a long time before saying, "Have you decided?"
Guang Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes."
"Alright..." He smiled. "But when you go there, you’ll be unfamiliar with the place, so make sure to keep a low profile. Don’t start any trouble or get into conflicts with anyone, especially since you are a demon cultivator."
"Okay!" She nodded again.
Chen Pingping took out a huge pile of Spirit Stones, Spirit Pills, and Spiritual Medicine—countless and all of them high-grade—which he piled up like a mountain. Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes almost popped out at the sight. She knew her Senior Brother was extravagant, but she never imagined he would be this outrageously generous.
"Take them! After all, that place is the vast land of the Nine Heavens, a strong and complete world. As a cultivator from Heaven Martial Continent, and moreover as my, Chen Pingping’s, junior sister, you can’t lose face," Chen Pingping said.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Guang Xiaoyu drooled and unceremoniously collected them.
So many cultivation resources, all of them eighth or ninth grade. These were things only a Demon Emperor might see, yet not something I could squander on my own.
Chen Pingping shrugged and then took out a huge pile of Cultivation Techniques, offensive skills, spells, martial arts, even one or two powerful Divine Skills, over a hundred King Tao Divine Weapons, more than twenty Emperor Tao Divine Weapons, and even three to five incomplete Sacred Soldiers.
Guang Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.
He cautioned her, "Take these pieces of junk as well. When your Senior Brother has some free time in the future, I’ll see if I can tinker together a few Heaven Tao Divine Weapons... SIGH..."
Junk? Tinker together Heaven Tao Divine Weapons?
Guang Xiaoyu stared at him, her eyes wide with disbelief.
It made sense that King Tao Divine Weapons were considered trash, as I wouldn’t spare them a second glance either, but Emperor Tao Divine Weapons have at least been imbued with Divine Radiance, far surpassing King Tao ones.
As for Sacred Soldiers, despite being incomplete, they aren’t something that ordinary cultivators could possess, right?
And yet, to Senior Brother, these things are trash?
Could he really be this extravagant?
Oh my god!
Just what is Senior Brother’s background?
Could he be the Master of some major power in the Nine Heavens?
Or perhaps an Emperor Son.
Chen Pingping’s offhand comment had shattered Guang Xiaoyu’s understanding of Divine Weapons. Even though I’m a Demon Emperor and have seen much of the world, he’s only at the Emperor Tao realm! Does he have to be so incredibly cool?
"I’ve given you all of my savings; don’t disgrace me," Chen Pingping warned.
"Uh, okay, sure," Guang Xiaoyu hurriedly packed them up, her heart feeling warm.
In the past, Senior Brother had been quite strict with me, hardly ever providing me with cultivation resources, not even a single Divine Weapon. I never would have thought that now that I’m going to travel far, he would give away all his savings. HMM!
She seemed to remember something and then said, "Little Junior Sister will go too. Senior Brother, don’t worry, I can protect her."
"Zi Ji? She’s going too?" Chen Pingping frowned, about to refuse, but then thought better of it. I have grand plans to accomplish and will eventually enter the Nine Heavens anyway. Letting these two little girls go ahead isn’t a bad idea.
He immediately said, "Okay, you go out first! Call Zi Ji over."
Guang Xiaoyu nodded and strode away.
「Below!」
Everyone saw her, and the tension surged. The disciples of Fairy Valley quickly came forward to inquire, "What happened? Where’s your brother? Is the demon still there?"
Guang Xiaoyu shook her head and did not answer their questions, but instead looked at Zi Ji. "Brother is calling you."
After Zi Ji had left, she then spoke, "A senior suddenly arrived in the Ancient City and used his divine ability to slay the demon."
"Is this true?" Liu Kuangyi was horrified.
"Yes!" Guang Xiaoyu replied. "Otherwise, with just my brother’s strength and mine, we would have been eaten by the Green Demon long ago." As she spoke, she showed a look of lingering fear.
Seeing this, the others believed her somewhat.
After all, if you think about it, that Chen Pingping was only at the Emperor Tao realm, and the fact that he could enter the Ancient City was already enough to shock everyone. If he had also slain the demon, it would be too much for their worldview to handle.
"What about the opportunity?" Liu Changsheng came over.
"What opportunity?" Guang Xiaoyu glanced sideways.
Hearing her response, the expressions of the five people turned pale, their faces exchanging looks. They already knew the answer.
Gone!
With Chen Pingping here, they couldn’t hope to obtain a single Spirit Stone.
Damn this Chen Bapi.
Soon after, Zi Ji returned, leading Lao Huang the ox and holding Hei the cat, saying, "Brother told me to take care of them."
Guang Xiaoyu smiled.
What I cared about most were Senior Brother’s Spiritual Beasts; even that hideous Earth Chicken would do. At least I could lift the forbidden seals with it. If I brought them into the Nine Heavens and broke into forbidden areas, wouldn’t all the Great Opportunities there be mine? Of course, even without the Earth Chicken, Mao Qiu, Hei, or Lao Huang—any one of them would do. I didn’t expect Senior Brother to be so generous as to give me Lao Huang and Hei.
TSK TSK!
It’s always the little junior sister who benefits.
Guang Xiaoyu blinked and pulled her aside, whispering, "Aside from Lao Huang and Hei?"
"What?" Zi Ji frowned.
"Spirit Pills, Spiritual Medicine? Divine Weapons? Cultivation Techniques, cultivation methods?" She wanted to know what else, aside from Lao Huang and Hei, Chen Pingping had given Zi Ji.
Zi Ji thought for a moment and then replied, "Five million Spirit Stones, a thousand ninth-grade Spirit Pills, a thousand stalks of ninth-grade Spiritual Medicine, three pieces of saint-level armor, one Sacred Soldier, a hundred Emperor Tao Divine Weapons, ten saint-level cultivation techniques, ten Divine Skills, fifty saint-level attack skills..."
????
Savings?
Guang Xiaoyu slowly cracked.
