Hehe, I Can Make Treasures Talk!

In the valley, Qin Hong blinked his big eyes as he looked at the two men before him.

The two men stared straight back at Qin Hong.

"Where did this Little Brat come from, daring to interrupt our good thing?"

"We found this first, so it's our treasure. It has an affinity with you? How are you this shameless?"

"Where are your elders? Hurry home. The Primordial Era isn't safe!"

"That's right. Tender-skinned little children like you are the Demon Race's favorite food!"

Though their good thing had been interrupted and they were in a foul mood, seeing Qin Hong's harmless appearance, they did not make a move.

Of course, the most fundamental reason was that the two of them were already Primordial Unity Golden Immortals. Perhaps that would not have been much in the Primordial Era of old, but now, it was enough for them to swagger through the Primordial Era unchecked.

In their eyes, Qin Hong was merely a child and posed no great threat. Otherwise, the two would never have shown mercy; they would have struck without hesitation and killed him outright.

"Hm?"

Hearing them, Qin Hong broke into a grin, his voice still childish.

"Fellow Daoists, this treasure clearly has an affinity with me."

"Why do you refuse to follow the Heavenly Dao and instead forcibly obstruct it, fighting over it like this?"

"If you refuse to follow the Heavenly Dao, I would not mind ridding the Primordial Era of harm!"

"After all, who else would think of Sentient beings of the Primordial Era as I do?"

As he spoke, Qin Hong deliberately raised his head toward the heavens, as though he truly grieved for all living things.

"You..."

"You little brat, have you no shame at all?!"

Watching Qin Hong put on the air of one carrying out justice on Heaven's behalf, the corners of the two Daoists' mouths twitched wildly, and their eyelids jumped with rage.

Where had this little fellow learned the Western Sect's exclusive treasure-snatching tactics?

Using their methods and their lines to snatch their treasure—he was utterly detestable!

Following the Heavenly Dao? Ridding the Primordial Era of harm? Were you kidding them?

When it came to snatching treasures, they were the forefathers of the craft! And this petty trick of yours dared to flaunt itself before an expert?

Though the two were gnashing their teeth in fury, they did not attack immediately.

First, they were unsure whether anyone else was nearby. If they made a move and drew out Qin Hong's elders, things would become troublesome.

Second, they had not concealed their Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation at all, yet this child remained so calm. He surely had something to rely on.

"Little friend, we are Golden Sword and Bronze Sword, disciples under the Western Sages Zhunti and Jieyin!"

At this moment, the shorter Daoist spoke with a solemn expression, bringing out his backing.

"Little friend, leave now and stop making unreasonable trouble."

"This treasure was discovered by us first, so it belongs to us!"

"Exactly..."

Hearing their words, Qin Hong sneered inwardly. They could not fathom his true strength, so they had revealed the backing behind them to scare him. It seemed they thought a powerful expert was accompanying him!

Still, one could not blame them for thinking that. A child as brilliantly gifted as Qin Hong would surely be a direct disciple within a sect—or at the very least, a closed-door disciple. How could such a junior venture out to travel without elders from his sect accompanying him?

"Oh, so the two of you are actually disciples of Sages. My apologies, my apologies!"

Qin Hong's face was full of smiles as he put on a respectful act, much to the delight of the two men.

Whenever the two had snatched treasures in the East, they had never failed. If they encountered someone with some skill, they would simply invoke the names of their Sages. With the Sages' names standing behind them, who would dare lay a hand on Sage disciples? Wasn't that mute loss theirs for the taking?

Naturally, there were also three Sages in the East, but no cultivator dared invoke those three Sages' names to seize treasures!

Why?

The Human Sect had few members. There were only a handful who could use the name of the Sage Heavenly Lord of Morality, but those few were far too powerful, all ranking among the top ten second-generation disciples of the entire Daoist lineage. Naturally, they had no need to use Heavenly Lord of Morality's name.

As for the Sect of Enlightenment under Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning valued face above all else. If anyone under him used his name to snatch treasures, then once he found out, he would probably strip them of their immortal roots, leaving them unable to cultivate ever again.

Only Sect Master Tongtian's Sect of Interception was different. Though the Sect of Interception had great numbers and strength, they did not swarm out all at once. Moreover, they could not smear the reputation of the Sect of Interception and Sect Master Tongtian, so naturally they would not invoke a Sage's name.

Thus, throughout the entire Primordial Era, only Western Sect disciples would invoke the names of Sages to seize treasures.

This practice of invoking one's elders' names whenever one wanted to take advantage was unique to the Western Sect in the Primordial Era!

But who was Qin Hong?

In the entire Primordial Era, no one dared compare backgrounds with him!

Just as the two believed the names of Zhunti and Jieyin had frightened Qin Hong and that he was about to leave, one sentence from Qin Hong sent their good mood plunging straight down.

"So what if you are disciples of Sages?"

"Does being Sage disciples mean you can turn black into white, ignore reason, and refuse to follow the Heavenly Dao?"

Looking at the two whose faces had turned liver-purple, Qin Hong's little face was stern and righteous:

"You say this is yours. I'm not being unreasonable, but you have to prove it to me. Call out to it and see whether it answers you."

"You..."

At Qin Hong's words, Golden Sword and Bronze Sword's expressions froze.

Call out to it and see whether it answered?

What kind of treasure was this bizarre?

What the hell was there left to prove?!

"Then call out to it yourself. Will it answer you?"

Golden Sword said with an unhappy expression.

"Oh my, you never know. It might answer!"

Qin Hong said earnestly, his large blinking eyes brimming with sincerity and seriousness.

"It'll answer you?"

The two were startled by Qin Hong's answer and asked in unison.

Could it be that this treasure had some peculiar quality and could even speak for itself?

That was far too miraculous!

"Then call out to it right now and let us see. I refuse to believe this treasure can speak on its own!"

Golden Sword said disdainfully.

"Fine!"

In the face of Golden Sword and Bronze Sword's contempt, Qin Hong answered without the slightest hesitation.

With that, Qin Hong walked straight past Golden Sword and Bronze Sword to the spiritual root, crouched down, and said in a childish voice:

"Spiritual root, spiritual root, tell me—are you fated with me?"

Hearing Qin Hong's words and seeing how serious he looked, as though he was not faking it at all, Golden Sword and Bronze Sword could not help widening their eyes. Could this spiritual root really speak?

Then the two saw Qin Hong lie beside the spiritual root and whisper softly:

"Yes, yes, cute and clever little brother, you and I are fated!"

"Quick, take me away. Don't let those two ugly freaks take me away!"

"Those two shameless fellows came all the way from the west. The moment they saw something good, they hurriedly shouted, 'This treasure is fated with me,' then grandly tried to snatch it away."

"That sanctimonious look is simply disgusting!"

"If they take me away, I'd rather kill myself..."

"Ah... little brother, I can't take it anymore."

"With those two standing here, their shamelessness is making me faint from the stench!"

"Ah... I've already fainted!"
