"Then, in your opinion, will Duan Rou give you the teleportation ring again on her birthday?" Su Chen asked.
Zhou Ningyun thought for a while and said, "Master, it depends on the situation. If there is a large number of Spirit Treasures that need to be stored in the warehouse and the disciples exchange for a large number of Spirit Treasures that cannot be delayed, Duan Rou will probably let me manage the storage and delivery of the Spirit Treasures. Then she will definitely give the Transmission Ring to me. However, Duan Rou is still my master in name and I will definitely attend her birthday celebration. Therefore, Duan Rou may also give the Transmission Ring to the second-in-command of Spirit Treasure Hall."
"Who is the second-in-command?"
"Zeng Jing. She is the daughter of the previous Elder of Spiritual Treasure Hall. If Duan Rou did not cling to Celestial Master Flame, she would probably inherit the position of Elder of Spiritual Treasure Hall. Therefore, Zeng Jing has a grudge against Duan Rou and they are not on good terms. Therefore, she will definitely not attend Duan Rou's birthday banquet."
"In that case, the probability of Duan Rou giving you the Transmission Ring is quite high. However, I still have to prepare for both sides. Tell me more about Zeng Jing."
"Yes, Master."
An hour later.
Zeng Jing came to the Saintess Mansion.
This was an intellectual and gentle woman. She didn't give off any stunning feeling, but her appearance was very pleasing to the eye. If one could experience her tenderness, presumably not many men would be able to escape from her palm.
Cough …
Su Chen shook his head. He had to change this bad habit of his. He could not criticize women whenever he saw them. It would make him look uncultured.
"Saintess, why did you suddenly invite me to your residence? Is there something important?"
Zeng Jing bowed slightly to Zhou Ningyun.
Although she was the second-in-command of Spiritual Treasure Hall and had a very high status, her status was higher than Zhou Ningyun's. However, Zhou Ningyun was the Saintess of Fire Worship Sect and had a special status. Other than the Elders, everyone had to bow to Zhou Ningyun. Zeng Jing was no exception.
Although Zeng Jing did not like Zhou Ningyun because of Duan Rou, she had to admit that she could not afford to offend a genius like Zhou Ningyun.
Among the 50 million disciples in the Fire Worship Sect, Zhou Ning Yun's status was unique. No other disciple was as important as Zhou Ning Yun. Even Celestial Venerate Flame treated Zhou Ning Yun courteously.
Such a genius, placed in any sect, was a treasure that would be held in the palm of their hands.
Zeng Jing wasn't even afraid of offending Duan Rou, but he had to be careful when facing Zhou Ningyun.
"It's nothing important. I just want to introduce a talent to you."
"Talent?"
Zeng Jing had a strange expression on his face.
The Zhou Ningyun she knew didn't have such leisure time.
However, since it was someone recommended by Zhou Ning Yun, Zeng Jing was still quite curious. He immediately asked, "I wonder which talented person was able to gain the Saintess's approval."
"It's me."
A deep voice suddenly came from behind Zeng Jing.
Zeng Jing was startled. She did not notice that someone was approaching.
Just as she was about to turn around, a strong hand suddenly wrapped around her neck from behind.
In the next moment, a huge amount of soul power poured into Zeng Jing's sea of consciousness.
Zeng Jing's cultivation wasn't weak, but she hadn't broken through to the Great Heaven Realm. She was only at the peak of the Sky Pillar Realm.
It wouldn't be easy for Su Chen to completely control Zeng Jing, but it wouldn't be a problem if he could only control her for ten days.
After a while, Zeng Jing's body calmed down.
A strange light flashed in her eyes. She respectfully lowered her head to Su Chen and said, "Master, please give me your orders."
Su Chen casually said a few words before he let Zeng Jing leave.
Subduing Zeng Jing was an unexpected insurance. If everything went smoothly, she wouldn't be able to play a role.
However, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be prepared.
Before the sky turned dark, Su Chen didn't idle around. He asked Zhou Ningyun to sort out the detailed information about the Fire Worship Sect's treasury.
The treasury was definitely huge. Within the limited time, Su Chen had to take away as many precious treasures as possible. It would be too troublesome if he took them all.
Zhou Ningyun often went in and out of the treasury with Duan Rou, so she was very familiar with the situation in the treasury.
After reading the information provided by Zhou Ningyun, Su Chen was very excited.
The Fire Worship Sect was indeed a large sect that ranked twelfth among the seventy-two prefectures. They were so rich that the Immortal Dawn Sect couldn't compare to them.
Su Chen needed the Scarlet Lotus, and there were a total of 200 stalks in the treasury!
It was twenty times more than the ten stalks that Su Chen needed.
There were more than a thousand Sacred Herbs that were similar in value to the Red Lotus.
Su Chen also realized that there were many raw materials for refining Spirit Root Strengthening Elixirs among the Sacred Herbs.
Su Chen hadn't refined Spirit Root Strengthening Elixirs recently because he didn't have enough raw materials.
However, if this plan went smoothly, Su Chen would be able to refine Spirit Root Strengthening Elixirs at least ten times.
Even if he could only refine ten elixirs each time, he would be able to obtain more than a hundred Spirit Root Strengthening Elixirs.
If he doubled the Shennong Cauldron, he would be able to obtain two to three hundred Spirit Root Strengthening Elixirs.
That would be a huge sum of wealth.
Apart from the Sacred Herbs, the Fire Worship Sect's treasury also had a large number of top-grade Spiritual Treasures.
There were seven Sacred Weapons that were above Grade Five!
There were even more Sacred Weapons that were below Grade Five.
There were countless other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
A conservative estimate of the value of the Spiritual Treasures in the treasury was more than thirty trillion Spiritual Stones!
It was worth ten Immortal Dawn Sects!
Even if Su Chen couldn't empty half of the treasury, as long as he looted one-tenth of the Spiritual Treasures, it would be a huge sum of three trillion Spiritual Stones.
If he had enough time, he could take half of the treasury. It would be a huge profit.
For a moment, Su Chen was looking forward to Duan Rou's birthday in a few days.
After leaving the Saintess Mansion, Su Chen left gracefully under the respectful gazes of the surrounding sentries.
When he returned to the outer sect, the sky was already dark.
Su Chen successfully bought some food and brought it back.
Since he was already here, he had to try the Fire Worship Sect's specialty. The smell of the magma barbecued meat was quite tempting.
When he returned to his residence, Su Chen realized that the house was dark and quiet.
Was Ah Ke not at home?
Could it be that he ran away at the last minute?
Su Chen shook his head and returned to his room to take a shower. When he was about to rest, he suddenly realized that there was a bulge under the blanket. Su Chen immediately lifted the blanket. He saw Ah Ke in a thin, tight-fitting camisole and a pair of shorts. She was sleeping soundly under his blanket.
She was really … warm.
The moment Su Chen lifted the blanket, Ah Ke had already woken up.
However, she didn't dare to open her eyes.
She wanted to continue pretending to be asleep.
However, Su Chen wouldn't let her off so easily. Without saying anything, he crawled under the blanket.
Ah Ke's body trembled when she felt Su Chen's strong arms covering her.
She knew that she was destined to not be able to escape tonight.
Suddenly, Ah Ke took a deep breath. She turned around and opened her eyes.
She activated the Dragon's Breath instantly.
The scorching breath brushed against his face. Su Chen's Qi and blood instantly boiled.
Damn, Master Ah Ke, you're playing a little too much!
