The Crime of Possessing a Treasure

Only then did A'yu and A'niu seem to wake from a dream. A'yu said in a trembling voice, "These... are for us?"

The wealth was so great that she was completely overwhelmed.

For impoverished martial artists, this wealth was indeed extravagant. With these, her younger brother's life would be completely different. A'niu could also nourish his body and cultivate good techniques like the scions of wealthy Lineage, without suffering any hidden injuries.

Once A'niu becomes a powerful figure, they will be able to live a good life, and no one will dare to bully them again.

But...

"Sister... we can't accept these relics..."

A'niu bit his lip and said with some difficulty.

Although he was also shocked by the Emperor Sarira and fantasized about how this wealth would change their lives, he gradually calmed down. Although he was young, he knew the principle that possessing a treasure could be a crime.

Such a large fortune is something he and his sister absolutely cannot take with them. As soon as they leave Tianwu City, they will be killed!

Oh?

Yi Yun glanced at A'niu Niu, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The principle that possessing a treasure is a crime is simple, but when enormous wealth falls from the sky, not everyone can remain so calm.

"Don't want it? Are you crazy?!"

A'yu's cousin suddenly screamed. He had just been completely immersed in the fantasy of being blinded by wealth, thinking about using this wealth to build a sect, take a bunch of beautiful girls with exceptional talent as maids and concubines, and live a luxurious life with three palaces and six courtyards.

Upon hearing A'niu's refusal, his eyes widened, and he lunged at the Emperor Sarira, repeatedly saying, "He's just a child and doesn't know any better. I'll stand up for him. This stone is yours!"

With wealth before him, this man was blinded by greed and cared nothing for anything but the relics in front of him!

However, just as he was about to touch those Emperor Sarira, he felt a force strike him, blocking him and causing him to stumble back a few steps, nearly falling over.

The cousin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and saw Yi Yun staring at him expressionlessly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"You..."

My cousin swallowed hard; his initial excitement instantly cooled.

These barbarians from the South China Sea look down on me!

You just had some lucky encounters and made a windfall, what's there to be so arrogant about!

If it weren't for this incredible luck, you wouldn't even be as good as me!

He thought to himself, growing increasingly frustrated. How could such a barbarian obtain the Emperor Sarira? Heaven was so unfair! If only he could have these things—top-grade pills, exquisite women, magnificent palaces... that kind of life would be so amazing!

Although he resented Yi Yun, this cousin was still counting on Yi Yun to make a fortune, so he could only suppress his anger, put on a smile, and said obsequiously, "Oh dear, look how anxious I am! I was so happy for A'yu A'niu that I lost my composure. You two should handle the transaction; after all, it's such a big deal."

Yi Yun glanced at him, completely ignoring him.

He simply looked at A'niu and A'yu and said, "Keep them."

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but we cannot accept it..." A'niu glanced enviously at the Emperor Sarira, but still firmly shook his head.

He desperately wanted to use these relics to change his life and give his sister a better life, but he was too weak, and they couldn't afford to possess these relics.

Yi Yun said calmly, "Don't worry, just take the relics. I'll ensure your safety in Tianwu City. Afterwards, I'll take you to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. You can't keep these relics, but once you spend them, there won't be any problems."

"Your name is A'niu, right? You have great talent, comparable to the prodigies of major sects. It's just a pity that you come from a poor family, which has delayed your cultivation time. Moreover, you've consumed too many low-grade herbs, causing your body to accumulate acquired turbidity. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't achieve much in your future martial arts journey."

"But I know of some miraculous medicines that can transform you completely, Marrow Cleansing, and even low-level martial artists can use them without side effects. This medicine can remove the acquired impurities from your body, improve your foundation, and allow your cultivation talent to advance to the next level! At that time, joining a major sect will be a piece of cake!"

"You can use the remaining wealth to buy some treasures for ordinary people for your sister, so that she can also learn martial arts and live for over a thousand years. I don't have any of these rare medicines that low-level martial artists can use, otherwise I would have given them to you directly."

"If you spend the ten Emperor Sarira and exchange them for pills, those powerful forces will stop plotting against you, and capturing you will be pointless. What do you say?"

When Yi Yun took out the relic, he had already planned it out. There were indeed miraculous medicines for low-level martial artists to Marrow Cleansing and improve their talents, but they were extremely precious.

Yi Yun himself was originally quite ordinary in terms of talent, but through some top-tier rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he gradually improved his physique and even later possessed a perfect Pure Yang Body. His current martial arts talent has long surpassed that of the Tianyuan Realm.

As for elixirs that can prolong the lives of mortals, there are even more. Mortals have not yet developed their life potential, so it is much easier for them to prolong their lives than for Emperor.

"This..." A'niu's lips twitched. Yi Yun's suggestion was indeed feasible!

However, consuming such a top-grade elixir at once is such a waste...

However, given their own weakness, there really wasn't a better solution.

A'niu looked at Yi Yun, feeling genuinely grateful. He had no idea of the value of the stone he had obtained.

Yi Yun could have bought it with just a small amount of benefit, but he paid ten Emperor Sarira instead.

Even towards such weak people, Yi Yun did not deceive them, which is something that not everyone could do.

A'niu whispered, "Actually... we really didn't need to buy so many stones."

Yi Yun smiled slightly. These two siblings were simple and kind-hearted. Even in the face of such unprecedented wealth, they were able to maintain their integrity, which was truly commendable.

"It's alright, you deserve it, maybe I even got a good deal."

Yi Yun's current vision is already above that of the Emperor of the Tianyuan Realm. Even Emperor wouldn't go crazy for the Emperor Sarira, so it's nothing to Yi Yun.

On the contrary, this strange stone has a great use.

Just as A'niu was about to hand the strange stone to Yi Yun, a cold laugh suddenly rang out, "Are you still asleep? Or have you already forgotten about us?"

A'yu and A'niu were startled and turned to look at the horse-faced youth.

Yi Yun also narrowed his eyes and looked at him.

The horse-faced youth smiled, but his eyes were cold. "You haven't even asked me if I agree?"

These are ten Emperor Sarira, such a huge fortune, to be used to Marrow Cleansing of a good-for-nothing who missed the best time for cultivation?

This is such a waste!

In the eyes of the horse-faced youth, it was already a great honor for someone like A'niu to be assigned to the Lihuo Sect!

These Emperor Sarira and this extraordinary stone should all belong to me. Only in my own hands can they realize their value!

A'niu already felt some disgust towards this horse-faced youth. This horse-faced youth was a smiling tiger with a belly full of evil intentions, yet he almost mistook him for a good person.

He gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "Why do we need your permission to sell our own stones?"

Although he spoke with conviction, a hint of unease still showed on A'niu's face. After all, this was on the territory of the Lihuo Sect, and they were far too weak compared to the Lihuo Sect.

A playful smile curved the horse-faced youth's lips as he leisurely said, "Your stones? Are you mistaken? Didn't you just sell the stones to my Lihuo Sect? Trying to collect money from two different places for one item—you're being far too greedy. These rare stones are now the property of my Lihuo Sect. These ten Emperor Sarira should be given to me. As for you, I can still give you a hand. I can let you report to the Lihuo Sect as a menial disciple. If you work hard in the future, you'll have a chance to become a formal disciple. Isn't joining a major sect your dream?"

The horse-faced youth gently rubbed his wrist, looking down at A'niu with a mocking expression.

Although the Lihuo Sect is powerful, they cannot easily resort to force in Tianwu City, otherwise they will be punished. Shops like theirs need to be even more cautious, but...

Faced with sufficient benefits, these things are nothing, and as long as a reason to act is found, there is even less of a problem!

The horse-faced youth thought to himself, a cold glint in his eyes.

A'yu and A'niu's faces flushed red instantly; they had never seen such a shameless person!

The deal just went through, so how did the stone become his? And he even turned around and accused them of being greedy.

The young man in his twenties also looked panicked. Was his money about to disappear?

Not only that, but... it seems... something might have happened!

A'yu's heart tightened. "This is Tianwu City. In broad daylight, you dare to violate the rules of Tianwu City and openly rob us?"

In all the years since Tianwu City was established, there have been very few cases of forcibly seizing treasures; it is a taboo.

"Haha!" The horse-faced youth laughed. "I'm a legitimate businessman, why would I violate the rules of Tianwu City?"

With a wave of his hand, the portly shopkeeper behind him, who already understood, shouted, "Close the door!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The shop doors were all closed!

Then, the fat shopkeeper shouted again, and suddenly a number of burly men dressed as guards surged out from behind the horse-faced youth. These men were all thugs from the Lihuo Sect, responsible for the security of the Lihuo Sect's shops.

Each of these thugs was full of energy, with a restrained aura and powerful strength; they were clearly martial arts masters!

Their strength is evident from their ability to be responsible for guarding the Renzi Shop within the Lihuo Sect.

The sheer pressure of having such a group of experts standing in a row is unimaginable. (To be continued~^~)
