Chapter 417 The Rules were changed
“In case the treasury would be stolen, old ancestors set restrictions for it, so that the Storage Ring is impossible to be opened and it can only be taken by hands.”
Su Yuanhai didn’t notice Su Li’s oddity and explained it aside.
After a moment of silence, Su Li went forward and tried to put the two treasures into her universe ring, and the items in her hands were blocked somehow and did not move.
“Is this a reinforced tactical matrix of space? It is most likely deployed by Su Guohong. But it is a child’s play for me.”
Su Yuanhai did not see what she had done, but the steady treasure suddenly disappeared without a trace. His pupils shrunk slightly, and he was relieved afterwards.
He did not forget what happened in Cangjin Valley, where the Master took out a counter matrix plate. So, he would not be surprised by the master’s knowledge about the tactical matrix.
Putting the treasure back in place, Su Li turned to the shelf for weapons and frowned after she weighed some flying swords on the shelf.
These flying swords might have a grade, but the grade was too poor.
The power of her pneuma and blood was too strong that normal flying swords could not withstand. To give full play to the power of the Cuixing Swordsmanship, it needed at least a flying sword in the grade of treasure equipment as a carrier.
The so-called treasure equipment was a kind of magic treasure’s grade. Magic treasures in Qingshui Circle were divided into five different classes, and common weapons used by mortals were not included. A flying sword built with common spiritual materials and carrying the power of cultivation was called the Spirit Equipment.
There were four higher classes, which from low to high level were Treasure Equipment, Tao Equipment, Holy Equipment, and Immortal Equipment.
Even Su Li had never seen any equipment of the highest classes of treasures. She had only seen that a Grand Elder of Yuxu Sect had a Tao Equipment in her previous life, which was so powerful that it could ruin the world. It should not be used easily, for it could break the world harmony.
As for the Reincarnation Mirror and the Black Lotus Ring, Su Li could not estimate their grade, because it seemed that even Immortal Equipment in the legend didn’t generate autonomous consciousness.
But both the Reincarnation Mirror and the Black Lotus Ring had consciousness!
They did not only have consciousness but also had intelligence. They were even smarter than a human being.
Su Li shook her head and dispersed her thoughts. She thought too much.
She turned to Su Yuanhai, who was waiting aside, and asked after pondering for a moment, “Is there a treasure equipment in this treasury?”
Su Yuanhai could not help but force a smile, “The Head Branch of the Su family may have, and the Seventh Branch… is too weak to have one.”
Su Li was not surprised to get this answer, so she was disappointed neither. She just took a handy spirit sword and turned around to a cabinet dedicated to placing the spirit medicine. She took out three pieces of Dixin Herb.
Su Yuanhai’s face changed by seeing this, “Master, the Dixin Herb…”
Su Li put the Dixin Herb away and shook her hand, saying carelessly, “I understand your concern. This would only be used on disciples from Ni Sect, so, don’t worry. It won’t be leaked.”
Su Yuanhai was greatly relieved, “Master, you are wise. I have worried unnecessarily.”
Dixin Herb, which could be made into a rare elixir, Shengyuan Pill, could heal the injuries of foundations. It was monopolized by the Su Family, accounting for 60% of the family’s annual income.
The origin of the Dixin Herb was unknown except for a few top men in the Head Branch of the Su Family and was strictly controlled for its use within the family. If the news that Su Li took some Dixin Herb was leaked, something awful would definitely happen.
Su Li strolled around in the treasury and took nothing else.
It was difficult to be detected with the loss of a few pieces of Dixin Herb, besides Su Yuanhai’s cooperation from inside, there was basically no possibility for it to come to light. It was another story if she took all the stuff.
Moreover, these items here would be hers sooner or later, so no rush.
Thinking of this, Su Li smiled faintly. She turned around and left. Su Yuanhai followed in a hurry.
At the entrance of the treasury, the two elders of the Su Family were relieved when they saw that Su Li was pleasant with a flying sword of Spirit Equipment in her hand.
It was true that the sect defined the eyesight. The little girl spent so much time in the treasury and came out with that garbage.
Despite the superiority complex in their heart, the two foxes were too sly to show it. They came forward instead and advised in a quite kind tone, “The tea party is around the corner, refine this sword quickly, and make it count! Do not let us down.”
Su Li flushed deeply and nodded firmly as if she was greatly encouraged.
The two old men laughed aloud simultaneously.
How easy to cheat this little doll!
…
At the same time, Su Li and Su Yuanhai had walked not far away. Su Yuanhai suddenly heard the young girl’s voice beside him, “Have those two elders been guarding the treasury all the time?”
Su Yuanhai nodded with a solemn expression on his face, “Master, could there be a mole among them since you mentioned this all of a sudden?”
Su Li shook her head with a flash of thoughtfulness in her eyes.
How the hell could the fifth sister sneak into the treasury?
“Tricks like the wall-piercing technique? But where did Yousheng get it?”
She stole those practicing resources obviously not for herself, and there were no lower-grade cultivators. The only possible explanation…
Su Li narrowed her eyes. She hid her real power as they met last time.
“Could people be so obsessive for the lifetime in the illusion due to the horrible power of the Reincarnation Mirror? Or will the obsession dissipate one day?”
“If it could dissipate, would mine also…”
At this moment, Su Li had thought a lot and she had a clear feeling that her obsession would not dissipate even if this would happen to Yan Ziye, Su Yousheng, and others.
What about those two?
…
“Which one? Did you mean Su Jiuzhou?”
Inside the practicing room, a square-face young man in a fiery red robe asked while brandishing his fists. As a brilliant red light lit up between his hands, he blasted on the greenish-gray rock with one fist.
Boom!
Many disciples, who were watching aside, changed their countenance and eluded from the flying stone debris. Although they didn’t get hurt, lots of them were scared with a pale face.
“The eldest senior fellow apprentice’s strength is getting more and more terrifying. What a powerful hit!”
“I’m afraid that this move could kill someone in the middle stage of Jindan Realm easily!”
“So powerful at the peak of Jindan Realm?”
“…”
As the discussion went on, an elegant young man wearing a navy-blue robe with a feminine demeanor avoided all the stones by swaying his body slightly, smiling blandly, “Bingo! It’s Su Jiuzhou.”
The young man in red retracted his hands, calmed down his fiery pneuma, and frowned, “What do you want?” His calmness contrasted sharply with his bold practicing method.
The elegant young man asked with some other intentions in his eyes, “Don’t you feel awkward for the outsider in the Seventh Branch?”
The young man in red looked deeply at the elegant one, silent for a moment, grinned, “Su Meng, don’t mess with me. Go and kick Su Jiuzhou by yourself. I am not interested.”
Su Meng remained his expression, and laughed, “Su Fengchun, you are the strongest in our generation, and I am incomparable, but if you are thinking of going through the tea party for immortals and reaching the highest level, I’m afraid it is not possible.”
“Why?”
Su Fengchun stared at Su Meng, “Cut the bullshit. Just say what you want directly.”
Su Meng realized that Su Fengchun took it seriously, so his smile disappeared slowly and his lips got moving, but no sound was heard.
Su Fengchun’s face, however, changed drastically, and his calm heart began to tremble.
“Su Jiuzhou is very likely to be the illegitimate daughter of the Head of the family, so in your opinion… who will he recommend comprehending the tea?”
A dead silence fell in the practice room.
After a long while, Su Fengchun regained his indifferent look, got up, and walked towards the adytum. Seeing this, Su Meng laughed slightly and followed him closely.
The rest of the disciples were bewildered and had no idea for what happened. They didn’t hear the voice transmitted by Su Meng.
…
“Master, the date of the tea party for immortals is set. On the eighth day of March, and it will be held at Shenhong Dojo of Yuxu Sect. All the young geniuses of the twenty-five sects will be there.”
After Su Li had practiced undisturbed at Su’s house for a few days, Su Yuanhai brought a light green invitation letter, on which a simple leaf was painted.
Su Li took it and stowed it. Seeing Su Yuanhai still stay there, she asked, “Anything else?”
Su Yuanhai was brooding in silence for a while and then he knelt down directly. He said in a guilty voice, “I did a bad job. Please forgive me, Master.”
Su Li frowned, “What happened? Stand up first and tell me.”
“It’s Su Fengchun and Su Meng.”
Su Yuanhai got up with his face flushed, “These two brats ran to the Head Branch during my absence of mind and complained that I did not make a clear distinction between public and private interests by opening a back door for you, which would set the Su Family at a disadvantage situation!”
“Since I don’t have any background in the Su Family and Su Fengchun and Su Meng just had pressed the start button, others in the Head Branch took the opportunity to change the rules of candidate selection to participate the tea party for immortals!”
Su Yuanhai got angrier as he said with a dark face, “Originally… I only needed to take you directly to Yuxu Sect on the eighth day of March to attend the tea party, but now, you have to take part in the internal contest of the Su Family and get yourself qualified.”
Su Yuanhai knelt again after saying that, “Obviously, it was aiming at me and the Seventh Branch. I deserve to die for bringing you such trouble! Please mete out punishment to me!”
Instead of getting angry, Su Li smiled at the words with her eyes shining.
“In that case, I may have the honor to visit the main camp of the Su Family with a legitimate reason?”
Su Yuanhai raised his head and nodded confusedly.
How come that the Master looked happy about it and didn’t mind the extra trouble?
“Well, then, get ready for it. Just some more setbacks, or do you think that I could not defeat a group of juniors?”
Su Li gently waved her hand, and Su Yuanhai involuntarily stood up at once. He said with full respect, “I am very confident of your victory, only the trouble…”
“No problem. Go and get prepared. Where is Su Yousheng’s courtyard by the way?”
Su Yuanhai was in a daze again. He wondered what the Master wanted to do with that demon girl. But he knew that this was not what he should ask, so he left quietly after telling her the direction.
