The three nearly exploded with anger, cursing inwardly.
Very well, so this is how it's going to be?
Fortunately, they took some solace in the fact that they had come with generous tributes.
But upon entering, it was only then they saw the treasures shimmering with a precious glow and fragrant with spiritual energy on the grand table in the front hall, almost blinding them.
The thousand-year-old ginseng, hard to buy even with a thousand gold,
The Warm Sun Jade that calms the spirit and clears the mind,
A chunk of Treasure Meat the size of a fist, resplendent with fiery light.
Even the Thunder Fire Gold used for forging Taoist Soldiers at the Fourth Heavenly Barrier was there...
This completely turned their faces ashen.
They suddenly realized that those arriving earlier may have been "enlightened" sooner.
Spending their entire fortune just to save their lives.
