Chapter 569: Collecting Treasure!
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
The purple gold hairpin in Hao Ren’s hand was as big as a finger, and it had a layer of purple light around it even though it looked golden.
Despite their low realms, the surrounding cultivators had excellent eyesight.
They were confused when they saw Hao Ren holding a hairpin, which was a female decoration.
“Hehe, you’re funny, Senior.” Xu Ke looked at Hao Ren with a smile. “Is this girly decoration your dharma treasure?”
He had never seen the purple gold hairpin before and found it funny that Hao Ren took out a female accessory at this moment.
Equipped with his supreme spiritual treasure that still had its spiritual properties, he didn’t think that any other dharma treasure could defeat it.
“Hehe…” Hao Ren laughed with him.
The supreme spiritual treasures were indeed powerful, but the dharma treasures of the eternal demon kings weren’t weak either!
Hao Ren tossed out the purple gold hairpin, and it flew up into the air instead of falling.
Hua!
An intense aura spread out from the purple gold hairpin!
The night suddenly turned very dark, and the sky changed from deep black to deep purple!
The demonic energy released by the purple gold hairpin instantly engulfed the sky, completely disregarding the array formation!
The purple gold hairpin had been soaked in Lady Zhen’s aura for ages, and it picked up a bit of her aura.
This aura alone was enough to frightened level 10 demon beasts!
Even Su Han’s expression changed at the surging presence of the purple gold hairpin.
Unable to withstand the chilling from the unfathomable abyss, the surrounding young cultivators shivered and grabbed onto each other’s arms while activating their cultivation strength to resist it.
Standing on the golden shield, Xu Ke knew something was wrong. He immediately activated the shield-shaped supreme spiritual treasure.
“Break!” Hao Ren said the word lightly.
He believed that the purple gold hairpin Lady Zhen gave him was not only a flight dharma treasure. After he saw Su Han’s White Jade Sword which obtained spiritual properties after Xie Yujia refined it, he knew Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin was not an ordinary object.
Since it was able to turn a large stretch of land on Fifth Heaven into aggressive purple, he knew the purple gold hairpin had spiritual properties!
Different from demon beasts’ intelligence, the dharma treasures’ spiritual properties were almost like innate muscle memory. When they were launched, they would continue their owners’ styles and act accordingly.
Xu Ke’s supreme spiritual treasure could defend him without being ordered, which was an instinct of this shield-shaped dharma treasure that had its spiritual property.
Launching counterattacks against other cultivators was another innate ability of this dharma treasure!
Xu Ke only had to supply it with some guidance and nature essence, and it would be able to unleash its power.
Now, Hao Ren was also releasing the innate ability of Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin!
“Go!” Xu Ke instructed with a grim expression.
All the coin-shaped golden shields returned to the round golden shield in front of Xu Ke’s chest.
With dazzling golden light, the round shield flew toward the purple gold hairpin!
This supreme spiritual treasure had never met its match in this world yet!
The purple gold hairpin that was tossed out by Hao Ren flashed and shot toward the golden shield swiftly with a series of afterimages in its track.
“What’s happening?”
“The sky is changing colors…”
The students who were sitting on the balconies of the dorm buildings became uneasy. The starry sky now turned to a deep purple, and the stars and the Moon looked as if they had been swallowed since they were nowhere to be seen.
Dang!
The purple gold hairpin and the golden shield collided with each other, and the round shield with shiny golden light instantly dimmed.
“Impossible!” Xu Ke widened his eyes in surprise.
“Break,” Hao Ren said the word lightly again.
The purple gold hairpin lit up, and its golden surface shone a dazzling light!
The previously aggressive golden shield suddenly turned to flee!
Gaining the upper hand, the purple gold hairpin chased it closely.
Having never seen such a scene before, Xu Ke immediately yelled, “Split!”
The dim golden shield instantly split into over 400 pieces.
“Lock!” Hao Ren chanted a dharma spell.
The purple gold hairpin landed on the ground steadily, and the soil turned purple!
All the small golden shields in the area instantly lost their nature essence, falling to the grass of the field like dropped pans in a kitchen.
“How could it be like this!?” Xu Ke was astonished! “What monster dharma treasure is this? How can Hao Ren conquer my supreme spiritual treasure!?”
“Withdraw!” Hao Ren opened his palm.
The purple gold hairpin flew up from the ground and returned to Hao Ren’s hand.
As a gift from Lady Zhen to Hao Ren, the purple gold hairpin took him as its temporary master. Right now, Hao Ren was not powerful enough to make it submit to him, which meant that Hao Ren was only a user instead of an owner.
Without the purple gold hairpin’s suppression, the golden shields on the ground shook slightly, ready to fly up.
When all the small golden shields merged into one and were about to fly into the sky, Hao Ren suddenly launched a hundun sword energy that he had prepared.
“Back!” Xu Ke jumped up suddenly to reach for the golden shield.
Bang! Hao Ren attacked Xu Ke with the second hundun sword energy that he had prepared.
The first hundun sword energy rushed the weakened golden shield into Hao Ren’s necklace while the second hundun sword energy shot onto Xu Ke’s chest, knocking him ten meters away!
Swoosh! Swoosh! The two sword energies returned to Hao Ren’s palms.
It looked so easy to tame a supreme spiritual treasure!
The surrounding young cultivators were stupefied.
“Hao Ren had just taken a supreme spiritual treasure from Xu Ke like this?” they thought.
Su Han was surprised at the great power of the purple gold hairpin and Hao Ren’s smooth movements. It looked like Hao Ren collected a piece of clothes instead of a dharma treasure!
“Hehe, you are awesome, Senior!” Xu Ke regained his balance and said with a smile.
His tone was neither angry nor ashamed; he only sounded amazed.
Seeing the corners of Xu Ke’s lips twitch, Hao Ren knew that he was acting calm.
However, a bet was a bet, and he wasn’t going to return the supreme spiritual treasure to Xu Ke!
Imprisoned inside Hao Ren’s necklace, the supreme spiritual treasure rushed around, breaking several pill bottles in the storage space.
The supreme spiritual treasures didn’t like to be restrained. The ancient treasures in the Nine Dragon Palace would have escaped if not for the suppression of the array formations that world.
“Do you want to fight again?” Hao Ren asked Xu Ke.
“No. You are awesome, and I am no match for you, Senior,” Xu Ke said.
After a moment of consideration, he continued, “Tomorrow, I’ll pay the 500-yuan membership fee to the Calligraphy Club. I’ve been busy after entering the school, and I hope you will forgive me for my negligence.”
“No problem. I will come and find you when I need you,” Hao Ren answered him in the same tone.
After taking away the golden shield, Hao Ren saw that Xu Ke was indeed at mid-tier Dui-level. However, Xu Ke declined to fight another battle since he didn’t want to reveal his strength.
This man was able to really be patient and hold back his impulse. Hao Ren thought that Xu Ke was 100 times more powerful than people like Zeng Yitao.
“Senior, since you like making bets, I’ll bring a better item next time and win back this dharma treasure.” With a sincere smile, Xu Ke brushed off the dust from his clothes before walking out of the sports field.
The sky around them returned to normal, and the Moon and the stars reappeared from the receding purple mist.
“It is good that you didn’t fight with him since taming a supreme spiritual treasure takes a lot of nature essence,” Su Han said lightly when she saw Hao Ren walking over.
“If you like it, you can have it. After all, it’s hard for me to suppress it with my current realm,” Hao Ren said.
Standing by Su Han, Lu Qi was dumbfounded at Hao Ren’s generosity of gifting the supreme spiritual treasure to Su Han…
He suddenly realized that the relationship between Hao Ren and Su Han was unusual…
“I’m still taming my natal dharma treasure, and I don’t want yours. Besides, I think Xu Ke will try to take it back, and you can’t dump the trouble on me.” Su Han rolled her eyes at Hao Ren and said.
Hao Ren chuckled since Su Han had seen through his scheme. She was indeed more cunning than him.
Lu Qi was astonished again since Su Han’s tone was cold when she talked to others but was much livelier when she walked to Hao Ren
“Brother Hao, I’ll fill up the field, but I can’t return it to its original state,” Lu Qi said.
“It’s ok. Thank you!” Hao Ren looked at him gratefully.
He only wanted to test Xu Ke’s strength today and hadn’t expected that the battle would damage half of the sports field in the process.
However, he was caught off guard when he saw Xu Ke had brought a supreme spiritual treasure!
Severely damaged, this shield-shaped supreme spiritual treasure couldn’t break out of the complicated array formations around the necklace made by Zhen Congming, but he had to solve this problem quickly.
He tossed the purple gold hairpin into the necklace, and the golden shield that was flying around crazily immediately quieted down, afraid of the purple gold hairpin which had given it a big blow.
Dozens of cultivators stayed behind to help Lu Qi clean up the field, and Hao Ren returned to his dorm room.
Since the purple gold hairpin severely injured this supreme spiritual treasure, it was the perfect time to tame it.
Supreme spiritual treasure would choose their own masters, so cultivators with low cultivation strength couldn’t tame them!
However, they would have a small chance while these supreme spiritual treasures were weak!
Hao Ren felt like Xu Ke left this supreme spiritual treasure with him because the latter was confident that Hao Ren couldn’t tame it.
To give Xu Ke a significant blow, it was not enough to take away his supreme spiritual treasure temporarily. Instead, Hao Ren must make the supreme spiritual treasure his!
The seemingly open and straightforward Xu Ke was not a submissive sheep! He was baring his fangs by announcing his intention of taking away Hao Ren’s techniques by force. His mild tone showed his contempt for Hao Ren’s strength and confidence in his background!
Hao Ren wanted to see how Xu Ke would react if he could use this golden shield!
