Seeing him so sensible, Chen Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "Alright, then we won’t be courteous."

The numerous strong individuals who reacted were dumbfounded; this guy is truly ruthless. Not only did he rub the abbot of the Buddha Ancient Temple to the ground, but he also extorted them heavily.

"Hurry and take me to the Scripture Pavilion to have a look. The Sound Wave Technique you just demonstrated really interests me, and I’m also very interested in that Buddhist Secret Technique you used for Divine Sense communication."

"Oh, and your Buddha Ancient Temple must have collected a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, right?"

"Of course, I’m not greedy, but it’s because they are destined to be with me."

"Right?"

"Right, right!" The abbot could only feign a smile, but that smile looked more like a cry.

Damn it... They’re going to lose a layer of skin with this plundering by the bandit; probably they won’t even have a single hair left at Buddha Ancient Temple!

Chen Xiao’s face was smiling, but his gaze toward the abbot suddenly turned cold, "Let me remind you again, don’t try to play any tricks with me. I’m easy to talk to, but I’ve already given you a chance. Don’t make me lose patience."

"Understood, understood!" The abbot nodded in fear, bowing swiftly in assurance.

"Then, take me to the treasury first," Chen Xiao said.

The Scripture Pavilion won’t run away, but the treasury might not be certain. It is necessary to search immediately; otherwise, these guys might play tricks on him and hide some of the precious treasures.

Searching now.

They won’t have time to hide it.

The abbot’s face stiffened, "Master, how about you first go to the Scripture Pavilion to enlighten yourself with Buddhist teachings?"

"The teachings are within my heart," Chen Xiao looked solemn, "I can realize them sooner or later, but finding those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures depends on fate, and I’m afraid if I go late, I won’t have a chance. So, stop dawdling, lead the way quickly!"

The abbot, full of anguish, led the way, taking the two into the treasury of Buddha Ancient Temple, which contained many spiritual medicines and Spirit Grass they’ve collected over the years.

They are all natural treasures, and quite a few they haven’t even had the heart to use yet.

As soon as they entered, Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up, "It seems this place is truly destined for me; there are so many good things, I can’t disappoint the Buddha’s goodwill!"

He immediately started rummaging through the items.

Collected ninety percent of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all into the Small Tower in his Sea of Consciousness.

The old abbot watched with visible pain and mustered the courage to humbly say, "Master, such high cultivation you have, many spiritual medicines might not be useful for you, right?"

"You’re right, but I’m not listening," Chen Xiao didn’t want to hear his nonsense at all.

He came specifically for the loot, what he can’t use could be used by those around him, and what they can’t use could be sold; why not take advantage?

The old abbot dared not show anger and could only obediently keep quiet.

Watching the accumulation of the Buddha Ancient Temple over the past two hundred years being looted by Chen Xiao, if it wasn’t for his strong mindset, he might have fainted a long time ago!

Eventually, Chen Xiao took everything he could, leaving them only scraps.

"Let’s go to the Scripture Pavilion." Chen Xiao spoke.

The abbot’s old face looked as if he’d lost his mother as he continued leading the way.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu were brought into a Scripture Pavilion.

The environment inside was serene and seemed quite ancient, showing its age.

Chen Xiao directly stated, "I’d like to cultivate some profound Buddhist Secret Techniques, such as those two you demonstrated earlier."

The abbot had no choice but to brace himself and took out two already yellowing ancient texts.

Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu held the ancient texts and began to explore them. After a cursory glance, they realized the secret manuals were genuine. After exchanging a glance, they signaled the abbot could leave.

Chen Xiao said, "Yin Country’s cultivation methods indeed differ from Divine Land’s techniques, though these two Buddhist Secret Techniques are worthwhile, especially the one for direct Divine Sense communication; it’s like legends."

"This ’Eight Heavenly Sounds’ Secret Technique is also quite good. Once cultivated to Great Success, it’s more powerful than dogs in Buddhist practices." Leng Baiyu nodded repeatedly.

The two spent three to four days deliberating.

Later, after memorizing these two Secret Techniques and gaining some achievements in cultivation, they searched the Scripture Pavilion again, but although they found some results, none were comparable to the previous Secret Techniques.

"Time’s up, we should be leaving." Leng Baiyu said.

The two left the Scripture Pavilion.

"The two masters have finally come out." As soon as the old abbot saw them, he respectfully approached to guide them, "Would you like to have a meal before departing?"

Chen Xiao chuckled, "No need, I’m afraid you’ll poison it."

"Hehe, hehe... how could that be?" The old abbot wiped away cold sweat; although he’d considered it, a Grandmaster Level expert isn’t so easily poisoned.

If Chen Xiao discovered the poison and fought desperately before dying, they might all have to accompany him in burial; he’d hardly survived, not willing to risk it again.

"If you have time, both of you are always welcome to visit Buddha Ancient Temple as guests." Before leaving, the old abbot politely invited them, yet secretly glad to see these two calamities finally gone.

"Alright, next time I have a chance, I’ll come to Buddha Ancient Temple again to see what might be destined for me." Chen Xiao smiled.

This remark made the old abbot tense, cursing his own loose tongue.

If they visited again and looted the place, it would be disastrous!

Three hours later.

The two left the Primitive Forest, reaching the edge of a city.

Chen Xiao immediately contacted Jiang Liang.

More than an hour later, Jiang Liang arrived in a blaze with a group of people.

"Mr. Chen, Chief Instructor Leng, please get in the car!" Jiang Liang respectfully opened the car door for them.

In the car, Jiang Liang laughed, "It seems the two of you were quite successful in this mission, congratulations!"

"It was alright." Chen Xiao was in a good mood, "Did anything special happen in these few days?"

"Well..." Jiang Liang’s eyes flickered slightly at this, his expression a bit hesitant.

"Uncle Jiang, just speak your mind."

Chen Xiao saw his expression and knew immediately that he was hiding something.

Jiang Liang organized his thoughts, "Mr. Chen, there have been significant changes in Yin Country these days, and it’s related to Princess Manluo Sha!"

Chen Xiao’s body shook abruptly, urgently asking, "Manluo Sha? What happened to her?"

Jiang Liang showed a solemn look, "Just three days ago, Princess Manluo was imprisoned, her title as Holy Daughter revoked by the Holy Sect, and the Royal Family demoted her to commoner, no longer recognizing her Royal Princess identity."

"Moreover, King of Yin Country personally announced that tomorrow, she will face trial in front of the entire nation and be burned alive. Her crime is... having an affair with a man, disgracing the honor of the Holy Sect and Royal Family!"
