Chapter 225 - I'll Take Them All "Any kind, huh?" Elder Bei went behind the desk and took out a small book that listed all of the monster cores they had in the Treasury Hall. While they have plenty of Spirit Apprentice monster cores, they don’t have many monster cores at the Spirit Warrior level since it’s not often sought after by the disciples. "How many do you need? And what level do you prefer for the Spirit Warrior monster cores?" Yuan scratched his head and said, "Honestly, I don’t know how many I need, but I’d like the highest level monster core you have." "The highest level?" Elder Bei looked at him with wide eyes. In his eyes, Yuan was only at the ninth level Spirit Apprentice realm. Why would he need monster cores that were far above his own level? However, since the Treasury Hall has wronged Yuan, Elder Bei didn’t ask him any questions and looked at the monster core book. A few moments later, he said, "The highest level Spirit Warrior monster core we have right now is at the 8th level, and we only have one of them. We also have one 6th level Spirit Warrior monster core. Then we have about a dozen Spirit Warrior monster cores below the 3rd level." "I’ll take them all," Yuan said without any hesitation. "A-All of them?" Elder Bei looked at Yuan with a gawking expression on his face, wondering if this is Yuan’s method of revenge because they’d treated him wrongly. However, since Yuan had the Silver Fortune Medallion, the Treasury Hall was obligated to give Yuan whatever he wanted as long as it wasn’t unreasonable. While the monster cores are worth a couple of hundred contribution points, it wasn’t so much that it would instantly bankrupt the Treasury Hall. After a moment of silence, Elder Bei nodded with a forced smile on his face, "I understand. Please give me a minute to prepare your monster cores." Yuan nodded and proceeded to wait whilst the other sect elders watched him with dazed expressions. A couple of minutes later, Elder Bei returned to the room with a large box. "Here are your monster cores." Elder Bei placed the box on the counter. Yuan nodded and then said, "Thank you. How many contribution points do I have to pay for it?" "Pay?" Elder Bei looked at him with raised eyebrows before saying, "You don’t have to pay anything. It’s all for free." Yuan looked at him with wide eyes and mumbled, "Free?" In his mind, the Silver Fortune Medallion only gave him access to the Treasury Hall and perhaps some low tier treasures for free, but he didn’t expect that it would allow him to obtain so many Spirit Warrior monster cores for free, as that sounded too good to be true in a place where most disciples are expected to earn their resources. "Uhh... I’ll feel bad if I accept so many resources for free. How about I purchase them at a discounted rate instead?" Yuan suddenly suggested. Since he already has so many contribution points, it would be a waste if he didn’t use them because he would get everything for free. After pondering for a moment, Elder Bei nodded, "Since you insist on paying for them, I’ll give you a 50% discount for the monster cores. It’ll be 450 contribution points. Are you okay with this?" Yuan nodded and handed Elder Bei his disciple identification badge without hesitation. A few moments later, Elder Bei handed Yuan’s identification badge back to him and said, "Thank you for your business." Yuan accepted his badge and the monster cores, tossing them into his spatial ring afterward. Once he had everything he needed, Yuan left the Treasury Hall with a calm look on his face and made his way back to his own living quarters. Meanwhile, Elder Bei turned to look at the other sect elders and said, "What happened here today... You will act as though it never happened, or you can ignore what I said and risk your status as a sect elder. That’s all I have to say." After his brief words that shocked the other sect elders, Elder Bei returned to his room in the Treasury Hall where Elder Gu was waiting. "E-Elder Bei! What was that all about?! Why did you protect that Outer Court disciple?!" Elder Gu immediately began asking for an explanation. "..." In response to Elder Gu’s words, Elder Bei raised his hands and swung them directly across Elder Gu’s face, slapping him soundly. "Y-You..." Elder Gu looked at Elder Bei with disbelief in his eyes and a burning sensation on his cheeks, but he didn’t dare to retaliate since he was far weaker than Elder Bei who was at the Spirit Master realm. "Follow me!" Elder Bei said and turned around, walking outside. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶 Although he was reluctant, Elder Gu couldn’t oppose Elder Bei’s commands and followed him outside. Once they were outside alongside the other sect elders, Elder Bei asked out loud, "Allow me to ask all of you this— What did I tell all of you at the beginning of this month?" One of the sect elders there immediately raised his hand and said, "That if a disciple with the Silver Fortune Medallion appears, we are to immediately notify you, Elder Bei!" "Good! So I wasn’t just dreaming about telling you!" Elder Bei then turned to look at Elder Gu and asked them, "Then what happened to you, Elder Gu? Did you forget? Or did you purposefully disobey my order?" "I-I had forgotten, Elder Bei..." Elder Gu quickly responded. "I see, so you’d forgotten, huh? Then let’s hope this incident will help you remember things better in the future." Elder Bei said, and he continued after taking a deep breath, "Regardless of how the entire situation went down, even if I want to, I cannot protect you since you decided to attack that disciple." "However, I do not have the authority to punish you since I am only the manager of this place, so I will let someone with more authority and status than myself handle you. Elder Gu, you are temporarily relieved of your duties in the Treasury Hall, and I will be letting Grand Elder Xuan know about the situation so he can deal with you later." "G-Grand Elder Xuan?!" Elder Gu exclaimed in a shocked voice. Why would a Grand Elder be involved in such a minor incident?!
