Su Xiaoyu leisurely observed the situation inside the diorama box.
By allowing people to exchange ordinary Divine Medicine Granules for Red Divine Medicine Granules, she believed everyone would be even less likely to misuse the Divine Medicine recklessly. While this couldn’t one hundred percent prevent cultivators above the Golden Core stage from consuming ordinary Divine Medicine Granules, if such a thing did happen, Su Xiaoyu would simply claim that a small portion of the ordinary granules possessed the effects of the red ones. Who would find her words questionable?
Every problem was a minor problem.
Furthermore, helping people swap ordinary Divine Medicine Granules for Red Divine Medicine Granules wouldn’t be a hassle. She didn’t need to constantly improve the medicine for others. When someone arrived, they would simply leave the Divine Medicine Granules at the Qixi Festival Sect. When she noticed them, she would act. It was that simple.
After withdrawing her gaze from the Qixi Festival Sect, Su Xiaoyu shifted her view to the area around the previous ruins. There, she saw a vast prison formed from plants, still holding the seven Golden Core True Persons she had captured.
“Are these guys providing me with Faith Value properly?”
Su Xiaoyu muttered to herself. She first cast a Water Concealment Art on herself, then reached into the diorama box. Through the use of the Rattan Spell, she parted the plant cage, revealing Luo Wenlie and the other six Golden Core True Persons.
The seven individuals were huddled inside, shivering, not knowing what fate awaited them.
When they noticed the plant cage opening, all seven looked up. Yet, to their eyes, the sky was clear and cloudless; they couldn’t see Su Xiaoyu, who was under the Water Concealment Art.
Looking at them, Su Xiaoyu used the Sound Transmission Technique to send her voice directly into the ears of five of them: “Hand over everything on your persons. Not a single elixir pill is to remain. If anyone hides anything, I will bid them farewell from this world.”
Upon hearing Su Xiaoyu’s voice, the expressions of the five men shifted.
They exchanged glances, each confirming from the others’ faces that the voice they heard was not a hallucination. None of them dared to delay. Immediately, they began pulling out their Dharma Treasures, elixir pills, talismans, and other possessions, placing them to one side.
The impact Su Xiaoyu had left on them earlier was simply too profound. They knew she could kill them as easily as crushing an ant. Facing her, they could no longer muster a single shred of resistance.
Once the myriad of items were piled together, Su Xiaoyu glanced at them and took everything.
To the eyes of Luo Wenlie and the others, all their belongings suddenly vanished into thin air, sending another chill down their spines.
Then, the surrounding plants closed in again, trapping them inside once more.
Su Xiaoyu took these spoils of war and placed them on the same tall peak where she had stored things before.
But these were not the only spoils she had.
Around the ruins, there were other spoils belonging to her scattered on the ground—items left behind after the deaths of Xia Xiancai, Zheng Jinglong, and the others. Since she had killed them, none of the other cultivators dared to lay a finger on the remaining items, turning a blind eye even as they passed by.
Su Xiaoyu reached out and collected these fallen spoils from the ground as well, placing them on that tall peak.
“Everything I have inside the diorama box was placed here first, so I’ll give you a name. From now on, you shall be called Treasure Peak.”
Su Xiaoyu’s naming speed was exceptionally fast.
After finishing the naming, Su Xiaoyu shifted her vision range, moving to the Golden Dragon Market.
At the Golden Dragon Market, she clearly also possessed spoils of war—the items dropped by Nascent Soul True Monarch Duan Sha after his death.
However, these items were no longer where they had originally fallen.
Su Xiaoyu’s gaze shifted, and she quickly located them.
They were at Golden Dragon’s dwelling. The spoils had been gathered there and placed in a conspicuous open space. Around the clearing, there were words written by Golden Dragon.
Upon seeing that line of text, Su Xiaoyu couldn’t help but smile.
Afraid that others might tamper with the things left behind after Duan Sha’s death, Golden Dragon had collected and placed them here, waiting for Su Xiaoyu to take them. Though Golden Dragon didn’t know if she needed these things, they had been prepared regardless.
Su Xiaoyu waved her hand and collected all the items.
The things left by a Nascent Soul True Monarch were clearly far better than those left by the Golden Core True Persons. For instance, while Golden Core True Persons possessed Dharma Treasures, Nascent Soul True Monarchs possessed Spirit Treasures—a significantly higher grade.
Duan Sha’s Spirit Treasure was the Cloud Sound Sword, a sword that looked quite impressive.
Su Xiaoyu tried to bring it out, only to see a string of terrifying Faith Value exchange conditions. Her face darkened.
It seemed it would be quite some time before she could exchange for a Spirit Treasure.
In any case, after bringing everything over, Su Xiaoyu sent a Sound Transmission to Golden Dragon: “Golden Dragon, the Qixi Festival Sect is under my protection. From now on, some people might come to you seeking guidance on cultivation or formation-related matters. Remember to give them plenty of instruction. Do you understand?”
At that moment, Golden Dragon was still repairing the market’s formation. The formation enveloping such a large market had been broken, and restoring it would take considerable time.
Hearing Su Xiaoyu’s voice, Golden Dragon instantly jolted, quickly responding to the air with a string of affirmations: “Yes, yes! What the Heavenly Maiden commands, I shall engrave upon my heart.”
Around Golden Dragon were several other Formation Masters, her subordinates assisting her in repairing the formation. Seeing Golden Dragon’s reaction, they all looked up into the air in astonishment.
They saw nothing and heard no voice, but Golden Dragon’s reaction was enough to make them understand the situation. Their expressions quickly turned reverent.
After instructing Golden Dragon, Su Xiaoyu slid her vision range back to the Qixi Festival Sect. She used Sound Transmission to give Tong Shishi the same instruction, allowing Tong Shishi to arrange for people to go to Golden Dragon for learning.
The guidance of a Nascent Soul True Monarch would undoubtedly bring considerable benefits to a group of cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages.
After giving her instructions, Su Xiaoyu looked at Treasure Peak and organized the numerous items there.
There were things that once belonged to people from the Bliss Sect, and then the spoils of war from this time: three Golden Core True Persons and one Nascent Soul True Monarch.
She sorted the Magical Artifacts, elixir pills, talismans, formation flags, cultivation methods, and spell techniques into categories. There were no items related to puppets or spirit beasts here. As for spirit plants, there was some—some Spirit Rice was among the spoils.
After categorizing by type, Su Xiaoyu also sorted them by tier.
Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul.
Items of different levels were separated.
“My belongings aren’t few in number now… it’s just that I can’t take them out…”
Su Xiaoyu was a bit speechless looking at it all.
Items she couldn’t take out were essentially toys to her. After all, inside the diorama box, a slap from her would be far more effective than any Spirit Treasure, wouldn’t it?
One could only say, time would solve things.
Pushing other thoughts aside, Su Xiaoyu exchanged for several more Spirit Enhancing Pills, planning to break through to Qi Refining 5th Layer first. Once she reached the 5th Layer, she could switch to the Spirit Nurturing Pills, which had better effects but required more Faith Value for exchange.
