We continue on our travels toward the ancient city. With nie li and the two girls now begging me to teach them hado which they actually can use since they cultivate the soul.
"Fine but do not under any circumstances practice them inside the rv." I tell them with a serious look as I pass them books to memorize and learn.
As far as I know the cultivators all rely on beast souls or martial arts for combat I don't recall any long distance human attacks.
They sit down and start reading at the table I sit with the the other girls and just watch TV. I did however catch nie li chanting and threw him out of the rv quickly before he blew anything up.
The girls are much smarter than him and just silently memorized the incantations.
After a couple hours we had reached the outer edge of the ancient city. I had spread out my divine sense and found the treasure and was already looting anything that looked nice including the shadow lamp which I bought a spare from the system and put there absorbing the real one.
I did get lots of cultivation jewelry and gold and tons of books.
I left behind an okay pile of treasure to not look suspicious but it was only like 5% of what was really there.
We were also going to get attacked by a massive group of demonic beasts which I just stuffed into the kingdom so Xiao Wu and Luna won't yell at me for killing them off.
With those guys out of the way our trip is completed easily and we make our way towards the treasure area nie li suggested and people start digging and soon fine a set of stairs down to the treasure room.
There's just a big pile of gold jewels and old weapons and on the stand in the middle of the pile is the spare lamp which nie li grabs as his 1 item promise from chen.
Chen walks over to me. "There where no books to be found so you can choose some other items instead." he says.
"Just give me some nice gems and I'll be fine." I tell him and he nods.
He comes back a little later with a small bag filled with the best gems and passes it over to me. "Without you we probably would have suffered from the hands of the dark guild so these are yours." I happily accept them ignoring the fact I already took 95% of the treasure as finders fees.
My girls already know me better than that by now however Xiao ning'er is trying to find something I might like to give to me. How cute.
They finish loading the carts with gold and gems as spatial rings are quite rare in this world and only noble family leaders have them as the knowledge to make them has been lost for ages.
After all the looting is done and I've made sure I didn't overlook anything like time pages for the temporal book or anything like that we all head back to glory city.
on the way back Xiao ning'er shyly gives me a ring that matches my eyes. "Thank you very much." I say happily taking the item. "Now how about you girls pick out something you like?" I wave my hand and jewelry of all shapes colors and sizes appear on the table.
"So how much did you take this time?" Zhuqing asks eying a black bracelet.
"95% of the treasure seems to have moved to my vault before they found it." I chuckle as I look at a strange gemstone.
"Your vault?" ning'er asks in confusion.
I wave my hand and a portal opens. She looks inside and sees mountains of rare gems, gold, silver, Jewelry, art pieces, wood blocks of different colors and textures giving off calming scents, and this stretches on for as far as she can see there's even what appears to be a giant boat with gold on it sitting in what appears to be an ocean of gold.
I push her jaw closed as she had been gaping for a little bit.
"If I said i was the richest person on the entire planet I bet Noone would try to compete with me." I laugh closing the gate.
I pick out a perfect set of jewelry for her and carefully put it on her.
I only give my people the best items no regular diamonds or crap like that. Gems that are even more rare and help with cultivation, focus and health.
Even Girs cup had been upgraded with millions of years old ice jade to keep his smoothies cold.
We finally make our way back to the city after another day of camping out with zero interruptions this time.
Making our way back to the city lords manor we are greeted by the man himself.
"What did you guys do to the alchemy association. They have been searching for you for days and I've had to stop them from practically sleeping in front of the manor since you've been gone. They've been frantic to meet you two." he says with an odd look.
"I wonder how they found us?" nie li asks.
"Well I did sign my name to the paper i sent giving them tips so it would be easier to find me as I'm not an idiot and just give away stuff without letting them know who sent it." I say calmly.
Nie li just laughs and rubs the back of his head cause that's exactly what he did.
the city lord looks at us before saying "Well go meet them before they burn down the manor in excitement or something. They where going on about greatest mind of the century and master alchemist."
"if that's what they think about basic tips they are worse than I imagined." I laugh.
"No your just abnormal and coming from me that's saying something." nie li sighs.
