Yao Ruoxian suddenly felt a terrifying thing that made his soul tremble staring at him. It was as though if he dared to steal this immortal herb for himself, something horrifying would happen that would make him regret it.
This was a frightening pressure that made one's soul tremble.
There was a terrifying feeling that came from the majestic heavenly might, as though it had suddenly descended from the vast heavens, looking down on all living things.
This was a feeling that Yao Ruoxian had never felt before. It was too terrifying, the kind of fear that made even his soul tremble!
Yao Ruoxian swallowed his saliva and quickly looked around, but he didn't see anything. However, he didn't dare to stuff the immortal herb in his hand back into his storage ring.
However, one, two … Yao Ruoxian's hands moved quickly, boldly plucking two sparkling and translucent fruits from the Glorious Star immortal herb.
However, some things couldn't be repeated. Yao Ruoxian's hand, which was about to pluck the third fruit, froze in mid-air. He didn't dare to take another step forward. His face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his legs were a little weak.
"What the hell …" Yao Ruoxian mumbled as he looked around, but he really didn't dare to pluck the third fruit.
Because he could clearly feel that the indescribable terror was already on the verge of erupting. If he dared to pluck the third fruit, he would immediately face the wrath of thunder.
This feeling was so clear that he couldn't help but believe in the invisible and formless threat.
'Harrumph!' Charcoal, who was playing on the beach, let out a snort. He seemed to have felt something, and turned his head to look in their direction.
Charcoal's actions made Yao Ruoxian's heart beat faster.
He knew very well that there were times when animals were more sensitive than humans, and could even detect many abnormalities that even humans couldn't detect.
"Old man, give it back …"
Miao Yi, who was suppressed by Yao Ruoxian's arts and couldn't move, was still screaming.
"Why are you so stingy? It's just two fruits. Go go go. Take it, you stingy bag."
Yao Ruoxian couldn't stand it any longer, and quickly threw the immortal herb back.
The consequence of withdrawing his hand in time was that the terrifying pressure instantly disappeared, allowing Yao Ruoxian to heave a huge sigh of relief. He lifted his dirty sleeve and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He looked around again, and still couldn't see anything. Charcoal also continued to play on the beach, as if nothing had happened.
Lao Bai's seemingly illusory figure also disappeared. It appeared suddenly and left just as suddenly ….
"Kid, did you feel anything just now?"
As he surveyed his surroundings, Yao Ruoxian still felt some lingering fear in his heart. That feeling just now was simply too real. It was the kind of terrifying feeling where lightning was about to strike down at any moment.
Looking at the Glorious Star immortal herb that was missing two fruits, Miao Yi lifted his head and glared at him, gritting his teeth as he nodded.
Yao Ruoxian was shocked, "You really felt it too?"
Miao Yi said indignantly, "My heart aches!"
"Heartache? That's not right, I … "
Yao Ruoxian was at a loss for words. Realization suddenly dawned on him. It seemed like the two of them had different feelings. Yao Ruoxian was feeling heartache from having his things stolen, while he was feeling fear.
Looking at his surroundings once more, he felt a little suspicious. Could it be that he had really violated his professional ethics to the point where the ancestor of the Artifact Refinement School couldn't stand it anymore and intentionally issued a warning? It shouldn't be that evil, right?
Even though Yao Ruoxian felt that he might have been mistaken, he couldn't deny that he had clearly felt that terrifying pressure just now. It didn't seem like an illusion …
"You said you wouldn't take my wages, but in the end, you ruthlessly extorted a sum from me. Not only did you take my wages, you even stole my immortal herb. Is this what Senior meant by a reputation that I don't have to doubt?"
Miao Yi was truly heartbroken. A perfectly fine immortal herb had two of its fruits taken away just like that. He wasn't so cowardly that he didn't even dare to say a word of protest after suffering such a loss.
Yao Ruoxian was a little embarrassed by his words. He always went back on his word, and always slapped himself in the face. It seemed that his professional ethics were indeed a little worrying. If word got out, no one would dare to do business with him anymore. No wonder even the ancestor couldn't stand it anymore.
"You little brat. I only took two of your fruits. It's not like I stole them all. Can't you see that there's a reason why I took your fruits? "
"I can see it. The reason is very simple. You were jealous and wanted to steal them."
"Pfft! A child's words carry no harm! " Yao Ruoxian rolled his eyes. "Isn't it all because of what you did in the Sea of Constellations? It's fine to take the blame for you, but you even caused me to be injured by Yuan Kaishan. Even now, my injuries have yet to heal. If I don't get some immortal fruits to heal my injuries, how would I have the energy to help you refine transcendent artifacts?"
"Are you helping me take the blame? It's clearly retribution for your evil intentions, yet you're still blaming it on me. Is there any justice left in this world? Do you dare to tell me why you snuck into Brass Gong Stronghold? "
"Ahem!" Yao Ruoxian rubbed his chest, furrowed his brows, and changed the topic. "My injuries are acting up again. Let me recover first."
'Shameless old thief!' Miao Yi rolled his eyes, and cursed in his heart.
He saw Yao Ruoxian raise his hand and place an immortal fruit in front of his nose. He took a deep breath, and the hazy nebula attached to the immortal fruit converged into a wisp. Following his breath, it drilled into his lungs.
After a while, a layer of hazy nebula once again appeared on the clean, sparkling and translucent immortal fruit.
After taking two breaths, Yao Ruoxian rubbed his chest and exclaimed, "It really is good stuff. After taking two breaths, I feel like my internal injuries are much better."
As he said this, he flipped his palm, and immediately stored the two immortal fruits into his storage ring. He was really thick-skinned.
He clapped his hands, and a mace artifact flashed out. With a flick of his filthy, wide sleeves, he pointed it at the ground in front of him.
The mace artifact immediately exploded into a mass of grey mist, and drilled into the ground like a tornado.
The violent winds stirred up by the transcendent artifact could be said to have sent the surrounding sand and pebbles flying. Miao Yi didn't know what he was doing, and quickly invoked his arts to resist the violent winds.
Not long after, the tornado that drilled into the ground stopped, and the mace artifact flashed out from the deep hole it had drilled out. Yao Ruoxian raised his hand to catch it, and stored it into his storage ring.
He then flung his wide sleeves twice, sweeping away the flying dust in front of his eyes. At the same time, he revealed a black storage bracelet on his wrist.
Miao Yi's eyes brightened. There weren't many cultivators who could use storage bracelets. A storage bracelet's storage space was much greater than a storage ring's.
Yao Ruoxian flicked his wrist, and a beautiful crystal furnace with a height and width of two zhang rose into the air. It stood on three legs, and had a multi-ridged arched opening at the top. It brazenly fell into the deep hole he had just dug, and a heavy thud could be heard as it landed on the ground.
Yao Ruoxian himself also flung his wide sleeves, and lightly fell into the deep hole.
For a moment, Miao Yi forgot about his unhappiness, and quickly stored the items away. He couldn't help but jump down as well. He reached out his hand to touch the huge and beautiful crystal furnace that he had to look up at, and asked curiously, "Senior, what are you doing?"
