Can You Call a Scholar's Actions Stealing?

"Well then, I shall take my leave first."

The situation was stronger than the man, and Hongjun had no choice but to swallow his pride.

Even in his prime, there were three people present who could directly beat him until he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Not to mention that upon stepping into this strange The Valley, his Quasi-Sage Peak cultivation base was suppressed to the extreme, to the point where he couldn't even defeat a tiny Taiyi Golden Immortal-grade Jade Rabbit.

Hongjun didn't know how he had offended this reclusive Big Boss.

His tone seemed filled with malice toward him; not striking him down directly could already be considered having a good temper. To avoid perishing, it was better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

As for taking back the Sun Star, whoever wanted to go could go.

One Intermediate Chaos Demon God (Sun Star), one High-Rank Chaos Demon God (Yang Mei), one powerhouse of unknown strength (Qin Xi).

With his strength at most being a Junior Chaos Demon God, how could he possibly win?

"Wait!"

"What instructions does the senior have?"

In the Primordial World, the one with the biggest fists was the senior.

Therefore, Hongjun didn't dare to pull a long face at this moment and directly go head-to-head with Qin Xi.

"Flame Spirit has worked for you for so long, don't you have anything to show for it?"

Narrowing his eyes, Qin Xi said indifferently.

It was rare to catch this opportunity, so how could he let it go so easily? Once he ran out of the Heavenly Dao Dojo, it wouldn't be this easy for him to blackmail someone.

Flame Spirit looked young, and her future cultivation would definitely require more resources.

The resources in his hands were limited; he could only extract a bit more from the hands of other Primordial mighty figures.

"A small gift, just a token of my appreciation."

The corners of Hongjun's mouth twitched.

He knew that if he didn't bleed a little, he probably wouldn't be able to walk out in one piece.

From his wide Dao robes, he took out a dozen or so jade boxes.

As the first living being of the Primordial World, he naturally collected quite a few masterless magic treasures, as well as many Innate Spirit Roots.

At the same time, in order to better absorb the energy of the spirit roots, they were generally refined into pills and then consumed. Directly eating raw Innate Spirit Roots was the most wasteful approach.

Yu Xue took the dozen or so jade boxes and opened one of them.

Inside lay quietly ten purple-blue pills, flashing with faint blue starlight, looking quite pretty.

These were Enlightenment Pills!

After reaching the realm of a Quasi-Sage, what one competed in was the comprehension of laws.

This kind of Enlightenment Pill could plunge oneself into a state of sudden enlightenment, where the blink of an eye spanned hundreds of thousands of years.

Because the materials for refining the pill were quite rare and only existed at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, they gradually disappeared later on. Even Hongjun usually had to save them and eat them sparingly.

Now, the situation was stronger than the man, and he had no choice but to contribute the Enlightenment Pills.

"Hmm, are there any more?"

Since he already said they were small gifts, Qin Xi didn't stand on ceremony either.

He directly began to openly rob him.

No, could a scholar's actions be called stealing? The fact that he didn't directly slaughter him and strip away all his magic treasures and pills could be considered having a conscience; people as kind as him were rare to see in the Primordial World.

"..."

These were Enlightenment Pills, after all! Every single one of them would cause countless Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Sages to fight to the death.

After all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal comprehending laws could step into the realm of a Quasi-Sage.

And a Quasi-Sage improving their comprehension of laws could strengthen their own combat power.

To save his life, Hongjun took out all his savings in one breath—a full dozen bottles, over a hundred Enlightenment Pills. This was practically the last remaining stock in the Primordial World, and once eaten, they would be completely gone.

Unless that Innate Spirit Root could grow back.

"Flame Spirit, for you."

He shoved all these jade boxes into Flame Spirit's arms.

These were the wages for Flame Spirit's past labor, so he naturally couldn't keep them for himself.

"Thank you, Father God."

"Crunch, crunch—"

Like eating jelly beans, over a hundred Enlightenment Pills were swallowed by Flame Spirit in the blink of an eye.

Hongjun, standing to the side, watched with his brow twitching incessantly.

Wasteful! It was simply too wasteful!

Such precious pills should be chewed slowly; eating just one could bring about sudden enlightenment for hundreds of thousands of years.

Eating them repeatedly would instead cause the effects to overlap, which was pure heavenly waste.

However, even if others took the gift he gave out and used it to feed fish, Hongjun couldn't say anything. As a humble Quasi-Sage, how could he dare to scold the Big Bosses present?

"Alright, these jelly beans are not enough to buy your life."

"Hurry up and cough up some magic treasures."

"Don't wait for me to take action myself, kill you, and then loot your corpse."

"..."

With a benevolent smile on his face, Qin Xi said.

Since this guy used to be the black-hearted contractor oppressing Flame Spirit, he naturally couldn't let him off just like that. They definitely still had quite a few heavenly treasures on them; it was best to trick them one by one and then rob them all.

This was sustainable development.

If he only shook him down once, it would be letting that black-hearted contractor off way too lightly.

Although he didn't cultivate his primordial spirit, only cultivating the Law of Fantasy, Flame Spirit might find them useful in the future, and there were so many Jade Rabbits in the Heavenly Dao Dojo who might occasionally go out on travels; how could they do without equipping some gear?
