My Sexy CEO Wife

Robbers!

Three shameless robbers!

Watching Gao Fei and the others plunder the treasure vault, Abbot Xuan Si couldn't help but curse loudly; of course, he only dared to do so in his heart and didn't dare speak out loud.

"Hmm, this spiritual medicine isn't bad, I'll take it."

"Um, this short sword looks good, I'll keep it."

"Oh, these Buddha beads are nice, they're mine."

...

In the blink of an eye, Gao Fei and his companions had looted over a hundred treasures, all extremely precious, some of which were even relics from ancient times.

"What is this?" Gao Fei pulled out a dark and slick object from a small compartment. It felt hard and cool to the touch. He knocked on it with his hand and found it to be solid.

Duanmu Hong walked over and took a glance: "If I'm not wrong, this should be a piece of meteorite iron from beyond the heavens, and it's quite old too."

"Meteorite iron from beyond the heavens?" Gao Fei's eyes lit up. "Is it very rare?"

"Um, a chunk of meteorite iron this big is indeed rare." Duanmu Hong nodded. "Even in ancient times, it was hard to come across such a large piece of meteorite iron." Then Duanmu Hong smiled, "The Myriad Buddhas Sect has really amassed quite a collection of good stuff."

"Senior, can this meteorite iron be used to repair a spiritual treasure?" Gao Fei eagerly asked.

"Repair a spiritual treasure?"

"Yes, I have a spiritual treasure that's damaged and I've been wanting to repair it, just couldn't find the right material."

"What kind of spiritual treasure? Show me."

"It's a bronze coffin, a defensive spiritual treasure." Gao Fei took out the damaged bronze coffin: "This bronze coffin was a gift from a senior, it has saved my life several times. Seeing it damaged pains me, and I would fix it if there's any way possible."

After inspecting the bronze coffin, Duanmu Hong nodded: "The refining technique is quite good, and its defensive capability is strong, it's a pity that it's damaged." After pausing, Duanmu Hong continued, "It's feasible to use meteorite iron to repair the bronze coffin, but... "

"But what?" Gao Fei asked anxiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, this bronze coffin was crafted from sea bronze that's hidden on the ocean floor for millennia, and it also contains a mix of other materials. Sea bronze and meteorite iron are materials of the same level, but their properties are different; sea bronze is more yang, while meteorite iron is more yin. It's difficult for them to fuse together."

"Ah?"

"It's still best to use sea bronze to repair the bronze coffin."

"Is sea bronze easy to find?"

"Normally, sea bronze is hidden under the sea and quite hard to locate."

"..." Gao Fei fell silent for a moment: "What if I insist on using meteorite iron to repair the bronze coffin? What could happen?"

"The worst-case scenario is rejection; the bronze coffin rejecting the meteorite iron. However, if your refinement skills are good enough, the bronze coffin might accept the meteorite iron, but it would be difficult for them to merge properly." Duanmu Hong, truly having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, had broad knowledge: "It's like patching a piece of clothing; although it can be worn, it doesn't look good. Repairing the bronze coffin with meteorite iron would allow it to be used, but its defensive capability will definitely not be as good as before."

"So that's it," Gao Fei nodded to himself, "What do you think of this? I'll first use meteorite iron to repair it, and when I find millennial bronze later on, I can replace the meteorite iron with it?"

"That's possible," Duanmu Hong nodded, "It's just going to be quite troublesome."

"The one thing I'm not afraid of is trouble," Gao Fei said with a smile.

While Gao Fei and Duanmu Hong were discussing the bronze coffin, He Hentian found several treasures he liked, and he was overjoyed.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over! There are so many treasures here!" He Hentian shouted loudly.

"Coming!" Gao Fei put away the meteorite iron and walked towards He Hentian.

Duanmu Hong followed as well.

"Look quick, there are so many jade stones here," He Hentian shouted excitedly, "Each jade stone contains an extremely rich spiritual energy, even richer than that of amethyst. If we cultivate using these jade stones, the speed would be incredibly fast."

"Oh?" Gao Fei placed his hand on the jade stone and sensed it carefully for a moment, then said in surprise, "It really does contain a generous amount of spiritual energy, and it's very pure, even better than amethyst."

"I recognize these jade stones," Duanmu Hong said as she walked over, "This is jadeite, a very rare type of jade. It was already scarce in ancient times, and it's unexpected that the Myriad Buddhas Sect would have collected so much of it!" She paused before adding, "Let me tell you a secret: the spiritual energy in jadeite cannot be absorbed."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because the jadeite contains a very peculiar substance that is highly toxic. If you try to forcefully absorb the spiritual energy, the poisonous substance will enter your body and in a short time, you'll be poisoned and die."

"That scary?"

"Once, someone didn't believe it and, trusting in their high level of cultivation, insisted on absorbing the spiritual energy within the jadeite. In the end..."

"What happened in the end?" Gao Fei hurriedly asked.

"In the end, of course, they died—and it was quite a horrible death; their body rotted away," Duanmu Hong explained. "After that, nobody dared to absorb the spiritual energy from jadeite again."

"So by that logic, jadeite is just an ornament, useless for any practical purpose," Gao Fei frowned.

"You can't say that," Duanmu Hong shook her head, "Everything in this world has its use, and jadeite is no exception. In ancient times, many sects used jadeite as spirit stones, placed in the formation eye to support the operation of great formations. Of course, when using jadeite, one has to find a way to isolate the toxins within; any negligence could lead to disaster."

"No matter what, these pieces of jadeite are rare treasures. Since we've encountered them, we must take them along. You never know when they might come in handy," He Hentian said with a laugh, "Let's divide them equally among the three of us." As he spoke, He Hentian divided the jadeite into three parts, took one for himself, and handed the other two parts to Gao Fei and Duanmu Hong.

After dividing the jadeite, the three of them continued searching for treasures.

Soon, they arrived at the innermost part of the treasure vault, where there were three stone tables, each displaying three spiritual treasures, totaling nine spiritual treasures.

"Nine spiritual treasures, just three for each person," He Hentian laughed heartily, "I was just worried a moment ago that if it were an even number, it would be difficult to divide them."

Gao Fei and the others didn't hold back and went ahead to take all nine spiritual treasures, three each; no one was at a loss. Gao Fei chose a longsword, a short sword, and a Da Dao—all Postnatal Spiritual Treasures. After taking some time to refine them, he would be able to use them.

This trip had not been in vain; they had acquired so many treasures all at once.

Watching from a distance, Abbot Xuan Si felt like crying without tears, his heart continually bleeding. The treasures the Myriad Buddhas Sect had collected over the years were being taken away just like that; the pain was immense.

The three searched the treasure vault again to ensure they hadn't missed any "extremely valuable" treasures, then left with smiles on their faces.
