Chapter 904 - Fencing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The stolen goods were abundantly diverse, as were the collection of emblems from various sects and distinct clans!
Roughly, these two fellows must have at least, at the very least, robbed seven to eight sects that possessed the Celestial Luck Banner as there were seals from the middle-class green Celestial Luck Banner organizations as well.
As for the sundry of clans, it was innumerable. They had barely missed a single one.
The insignias of sects that were without the Celestial Luck Banner were even more plentiful, glowing and radiant, catching the eye of everyone present.
“Just these things here.. they must have robbed at least a hundred organizations..” Lang Fantian exclaimed with a twitching eye, “This is really - really..”
“The name isn’t merely for show. They are truly maniacs!” Xiao Yushu was already stunned. He had seen many bandits and had met plenty of them, but he had never seen any of them that was so hysterical!
‘Yeah, it is all good and fine when your high-quality spoils are valuable, but what’s up with those lower class spiritual jade pieces?’
‘You really don’t let anything slip past, do you?’
“They have truly raided everything other than God..” Gu Jiuxiao muttered as he grabbed a small box containing the most valuable item of Yun Yang’s recent raid.
It was a ten thousand-year-old snow ginseng!
A ten thousand-year-old snow ginseng was precious, but it was not exceptionally rare in addition to not being worthy enough to be regarded by a Royal Saint level master like Gu Jiuxiao. The reason he took it was due to the extraordinary box..
It was not that Yun Yang did not recognize a bigger gem, accidentally giving away a precious treasure while fencing the plant; the small box itself was not valuable. It was the golden Celestial Luck Banner emblem that was printed on it - it was the Sacred Heart Palace’s emblem!
These two fellows had the temerity to rob even the Sacred Heart Palace’s goods! Their courage was honestly indescribable by merely using the words outrageously bold and maniacal.
Feng Guohai’s gaze was frozen.
“Isn’t this Sacred Heart Palace’s..” His voice trembled.
Yun Yang answered uncertainly, “I guess not.. How could the Sacred Heart Palace’s goods be consigned by two men whose cultivation base were so low? I think it’s forged. Besides, it’s only a ten thousand-year-old snow ginseng. The market price it commands is less than a piece of Ethereal Amethyst!”
Lang Fantian said numbly, “Brother Yun, you are missing the point! Gu Jiuxiao will take it not because of what lies within the box but that this item does indeed actually belong to the Sacred Heart Palace! Who across this region dares lay a finger on goods stamped with the mark of the Sacred Heart Palace? The consigners are never afraid of meeting any issues and will be received well wherever they go - they may be given gifts along their journey as well.. This has always been a trip of all pros without con, why would anyone need a formidable combat force? Everything is fated.. Such fated coincidence..”
The powerless complaint rested uneasily within Lang Fantian.
“There’s only you.. a new Ascended who doesn’t know a thing, who dared to undertake such a feat.. Luckily the men weren’t skilled. If the item were consigned by the palace’s experts, you two would be finished with a wave of their hands!”
The more he spoke, the more Vice Chief Lang felt like he could not say any more. Finally, he heaved a long sigh.
“Indeed.. a newborn calf does not fear the tiger. Your luck is over the moon too!”
His tone was brimming with a strange emotion of ‘I honestly never expected this, despite the fact that life is like a box of chocolates’.
“Then what?” asked Yun Yang, “I’ve already stolen it.. I can’t possibly return it now..”
“You’ve already stolen it..” said Lang Fantian weakly, “Then we can only remain oblivious.. It’s a stolen good, isn’t it..”
As he spoke, he glared at Xiao Yushu, Gu Jiuxiao and Feng Guohai. The warning intent in his gaze apparent.
Xiao Yushu grinned. It looked more like a grimace, as he suddenly said, “This snow ginseng looks decent.. Why don’t you consume it on the spot, Vice Chief? It’ll be greatly beneficial..”
“This - is this acceptable for you folks?” Lang Fantian answered almost like he was about to cry.
Gu Jiuxiao spoke up, “It does look like it’s gotten to the level of a divine class. You’ll gain at least fifty years of cultivation base if you eat it now, Vice Chief. It’s a good thing!”
“Good thing?” Lang Fantian stared right back at him. “Then why don’t you eat it? I think it’s good for you as well!”
The corners of Gu Jiuxiao’s lips twitched.
“With Vice Chief here, it isn’t what this subordinate should do. This subordinate dares not overstep his boundaries. If I do eat it, you..”
“I’m relieved that you said this. I shall command you to eat it now. The growth of your cultivation base equals the growth of the General Commerce League’s ability. We’re superior and subordinate, but what difference do we have from brothers - it’s the same, whoever eats it,” said Lang Fantian.
Gu Jiuxiao held his stomach and looked pained, crying out, “My - my stomach hurts.. I have to - have to..”
He ran out abruptly still holding onto his stomach, disappearing in a flash.
There was not a trace of a Royal Saint master’s dignity from his laughable state.
Lang Fantian turned to look at Xiao Yushu but before he could speak, Xiao Yushu held his head immediately and said in agony, “My divine sense was damaged.. I need to cultivate closed-door for a few days..”
With that, he vanished without a trace as well. The speed at which he departed was actually impressive.
Shrewd as Feng Guohai was, he was already speaking in a hurry before Lang Fantian shifted his gaze to him, “Why aren’t the dishes I order the kitchen to prepare here yet? Shame! I have to go urge them and supervise their work!”
His voice echoed in the air, but he was already out of the door.
Lang Fantian stared back at the ten thousand-year-old snow ginseng in his grip. It was like he was holding a hot potato, the corner of his mouth quivering.

After a moment of stupor, he suddenly stuffed it into Yun Yang’s mouth saying, “Since you stole it, you have it. You’ve just woken up from a deep sleep, it’s a good time to nourish yourself. A young man like you must cherish your body, you can’t take things lightly.”
Unprepared, Yun Yang almost bit into it subconsciously. Quick to respond, he returned it to his spatial ring and asked, “Would the other party actually come looking for me?”
Lang Fantian sighed and answered, “Despite the General Commerce League’s reputation, we have only the green Celestial Luck Banner. What we know about the higher class banners is limited. It’s said that the Golden Celestial Luck Banner is unique and mystical. Who knows what they can do? It’s perhaps the safest solution to eat it now on the spot, but it’s also possible that consuming it helps nothing.”
“That’s scary!” Yun Yang was shocked, tossing the ginseng to Emmie in a jiffy.
“Actually, I lean more towards destroying it and destroying it as soon as possible at that. At least eat it!” Lang Fantian sighed, “This is a troublesome pickle we are in!”
“I know, I understand.”
“We’ll take all these things!” The corners of Lang Fantian’s lips twitched again as he stared at the warehouses filled with stolen goods.
“In addition to these ten pieces of Ethereal Amethysts, do you want to trade them all into upper-class spiritual jade pieces or something else?”
Yun Yang thought about it and said, “Half of them to upper-class spiritual jade pieces while the other half shall be in the form of heaven and earth treasures and mystical metals. If a part of them can be traded into divine class spiritual jade pieces, that would be the best.”
“Very well!”
