Chapter 99 If you're so busy, why don't you just leave!
Su Ruoyun was filled with gratitude. After speaking, she waved her hand and took out several treasures from her storage ring.
A fist-sized Celestial Stone rolled out first, its body a deep, azure blue.
Immediately afterwards, a peerless sword with an ancient scabbard and a cold, gleaming blade appeared, its resounding notes seeming to tell of its unwillingness to remain dormant.
In addition, there are some rare spiritual herbs, with graceful branches and leaves, exuding a fragrant aroma, all of which are indispensable materials for the pills needed for advancing from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage.
The three people opposite them were originally just coveting that Celestial Stone, and were calculating how many resources and cultivation techniques they could exchange for it after they got their hands on it.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruoyun took out so many treasures one after another, and greed grew wildly like weeds, making him even more itchy and unable to resist.
Unfortunately, the situation was beyond their control. With three against two, the two previous encounters had already made them acutely aware of the gap in strength.
Even if they were extremely envious, they could only restrain themselves and remain still.
The moment she took the item out, Su Ruoyun secretly raised her eyes and stared intently at Gao Huohuo's expression.
Any one of these treasures would cause bloodshed in the cultivation world, and she found it hard to believe that anyone could remain unmoved.
She was on high alert, secretly wondering if Gao Huohuo was like the others.
He was pretending to help, but in reality he had ulterior motives, waiting for her to lower her guard so he could seize all the treasures in one fell swoop.
However, to her surprise, Su Ruoyun did not detect a trace of greed or surprise in Gao Huohuo's eyes.
Instead, a hint of disdain flashed by extremely quickly, so fast that she thought she was seeing things.
What's happening here?
Not to mention the Celestial Stone, it is an excellent and essential material for refining one's natal magic weapon.
Any cultivator with even a modicum of ambition would dream of possessing it and would give anything to acquire it.
As long as you accumulate more Celestial Stones, the quality of the natal magic weapon you refine in the future will be greatly improved, and its power will be unparalleled.
But she seemed to look down on them, even though these spiritual herbs were crucial to breaking through the Nascent Soul bottleneck and ensuring a smooth path of cultivation.
Not to mention that peerless spiritual sword, its blade shimmering with runes and brimming with spiritual energy.
In the past, whenever someone saw them, their eyes would be instantly glued to them, revealing undisguised desire and greed.
But she acted as if she hadn't seen anything at all, her eyes calm and unwavering.
"For these things, you're willing to kill and rob! Your crimes are unforgivable!"
Gao Huohuo frowned, her tone icy cold, her words filled with condemnation and anger.
After she finished speaking, all four of them looked at her as if they had heard something unbelievable, giving her a look that said, "Are you still half asleep?"
Just for these things? Aren't all of these incredibly rare and priceless?
In their eyes, it was something that could change one's destiny. How come it came out of this female cultivator's mouth as if it were some common, worthless junk?
"It's normal for you to look down on these things since you're from a major sect like the Glazed Pavilion, but you can't block our way."
The person opposite him looked resentful and said indignantly.
In his view, this female cultivator must have come from an extremely privileged background and belonged to a powerful sect with deep resources.
These treasures might not be considered top-tier within the sect, which is why she developed such an arrogant and haughty personality.
Even so, we can't let them ruin their plans.
"The Glazed Tile School? I never said I was from the Glazed Tile School! I'm just a third-rate sect, my name is not worth mentioning."
Gao Huohuo crossed his arms, his expression calm, seemingly unconcerned about the doubts and astonishment in everyone's eyes.
The Shadowmoon Sect has mined an entire mine of Celestial Stones, and they still can't use them all.
As for the peerless spiritual sword that caused others to fight tooth and nail, it was utterly insignificant in Gao Huohuo's eyes.
The exquisitely designed hairpin on her head, seemingly simple and unadorned, was actually a genuine semi-divine artifact.
In comparison, this so-called peerless spiritual sword is like a firefly compared to the bright moon, falling far short.
Even those spiritual herbs that can help cultivators break through to the Nascent Soul stage, perhaps only her seventh senior sister would exclaim that they were of good quality.
Thinking about it carefully, the Shadowmoon Faction isn't actually that poor, is it?
The treasures that others risk their lives and commit murder to seize are nothing more than ordinary stock in their own sect, and they have as many as they want.
Moreover, Gao Huohuo knew very well that if he wanted to improve his cultivation level quickly, these external objects would really be of little use.
As long as more heroes are listed on the leaderboard, her own cultivation will soar like a boat sailing on the wind, making rapid progress.
In comparison, these natural treasures have become dispensable embellishments.
Upon hearing Gao Huohuo claim that he came from a third-rate sect, the group was filled with suspicion, whispering among themselves and discussing the matter.
In this day and age, which third-rate sect can be so rich?
Could it be a legendary hidden sect?
But the thought was quickly put off by the group.
Hidden sects have always been mysterious and unpredictable. Unless a world-shaking event occurs, they will never venture into the mortal realm.
Why would they reveal themselves so easily and get involved in a battle between cultivators?
"Hey, you three, are you still going to fight? I'm busy now."
Gao Huohuo stood with her hands on her hips, chin slightly raised, eyebrows slightly arched, her words full of impatience.
That arrogant demeanor was exactly like that of a fearless little firecracker.
The three men thought to themselves: If you're busy, then leave! Who cares about you meddling in other people's business?
Even though they had repeated these words to themselves countless times, no one dared to utter a single word of them in front of Gao Huohuo.
After all, the difference in skill between them was obvious in the two previous encounters; even the three of them combined were no match for their opponent.
To provoke us now would be tantamount to courting death.
Seeing that they were no match for each other, the leader of the three gritted his teeth and put on a fawning expression.
He bowed respectfully to Gao Huohuo, his voice trembling slightly:
"We'll never do it again. Please spare our lives, and we'll leave right now."
Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun exchanged a glance, and in that instant, as if they were of one mind, they understood the cunning glint in each other's eyes.
"You can leave, of course, but given your previous egregious behavior, you must leave behind the money to buy your lives."
Gao Huohuo glared at her with her beautiful eyes and said without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, the three men's eyes widened instantly, their faces filled with astonishment, as if they had heard something utterly absurd.
They failed to rob anyone, and now they're the ones being robbed?
But the current situation is so compelling that they have no choice but to resist.
Seeing this, Su Ruoyun seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and her spirit sword trembled slightly, emitting a clear sword sound, as if echoing its master's words:
"Think it through yourselves. The three of you can't beat the two of us. Handing over yourselves might save your lives."
Otherwise, if we kill them, the stuff is still ours, but they'll lose their lives.
The three looked at each other, their faces displaying a complex mix of emotions: resentment, anger, and utter helplessness.
In the end, he could only tearfully pull out his private stash one by one.
With each treasure they pulled out, their hearts felt as if they had been stabbed, bleeding profusely.
But Gao Huohuo showed no sign of softening her heart. Her eyes were sharp as an eagle's as she turned the three people's storage bags upside down.
They didn't let anything of even the slightest value slip by, looting it clean.
In the end, they were only given the weapons they had signed a contract with and a set of clothes to cover their bodies, so as not to be too embarrassed by being naked.
The three, who had initially been wary of Gao Huohuo, now stared at the empty storage bag, their eyes burning with rage.
Hatred grew wildly like vines, and he wished he could devour Gao Huohuo alive.
Gao Huohuo, however, seemed oblivious, casually sweeping his divine sense over the three people who had just made it onto the list.
He maintained his arrogant and domineering demeanor on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
