Chapters 2762-2771 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 7

2762 The Bai Zhe reveals that this is the last round, and SL readies herself to amass crystals. Furious at losing his points, the elder starts to stomp off, walking along the wall but fails to find the exit. Meanwhile LYJ had raised twice as many points from all the Crafty Thorn members, causing discontent since they could’ve redeemed items for themselves, rather than have her waste it. She reminds them that there are still prizes in the 4th stage and not to walk away like the elder.

2763-2764 However, when she orders them to relinquish any crystals they find, the men are indignant since even the Empress wouldn’t exploit them so much, planning to secretly redeem their own prizes. SL runs after the little dragon, determined to win the WSW and NNSG, when the Bai Zhe reveals the sceptre is still incomplete. SL can only receive the inheritance after assembling the Luminous Night Pearl and Divine Black Jade pieces on the sceptre, both of which can be redeemed from the old shopkeeper, but are very expensive. The territory will also collapse once she’s received the inheritance and SL needs to exchange everything else before, to avoid losing the herbs. Using its nose, the little dragon sniffs out the crystals within the ground, as the SGT extends its roots to grab them. SL is delighted as she gains 9,876 crystals.

2765 SL glances through the catalogue to see the WSW costs 2 million crystals, while the NNSG isn’t even available. SL is dumbfounded when she sees that the Black Jade is 5 million and the Night Pearl is 3 million, requiring a total of 10 million crystals. Watching how shocked SL is, the Bai Zhe recalls a map with the crystal veins, since the little dragon can only sense treasure within a range. Taking SL’s paper and pen, the Bai Zhe draws a map from his hazy memory, with the 4th floor divided into 4 sections.

2766 The map gridlines contain the alphabet, but the Bai Zhe refuses to reveal his ties with Earth, while he also indicated the size of the crystal deposits. SL finds a medium sized deposit 5km to the east, and a large deposit 10km west. Thinking no one else will discover the large deposit before her, she heads east, running past a Crafty Thorn squad. With LY’s support, the squad isn’t as hostile, even joking amongst themselves that they’d follow SL over LYJ due to her luck, only for SL to dash away with her leg bones.

2767 Realizing SL was trying to shake them off, they scurry after her but can’t match her speed. Arriving at the deposit, the Bai Zhe warns her the group will arrive in 30 minutes, and SL urges her spirit pets to dig out the crystals to add to her space.

2768 SL is elated with her 120,000 crystals, when the SGT digs the final crystal, with Crafty Thorn less than a minute away. It wiggles loose in the last 10 seconds, and SL throws her pets and the crystals in her space, before teleporting away. Outside, the Crafty Thorn members gather around the hole, waiting for SL to emerge and to grab the crystals from her. Before they can react, the ground explodes, tossing earth into the air, causing some to faint and injuries to others as SL smirks from afar.

2769 SL now has 180,000 crystals and races towards the large deposit, when she notices LYJ and the mysterious man’s groups facing each other nearby. Both teams are at a standoff, with neither making a move. SL is unwilling to relinquish the deposit since it contains over 1 million crystals, taking out her mask to assume the bear man’s form.

2770 The mysterious man offers to divide the find in half. LYJ insists on having Crafty Thorn mine the crystals, but the talk falls through when the man insists they surrender their storage items containing several crystals. The men roar in rage, when SL in her bear man disguise yells that Crafty Thorn had gone too far, instigating a fight between both sides, allowing SL the opportunity to behead one of the Crafty Thorn members. Watching his blood spray, LYJ is furious over the loss and slays 3 Demonic Clan members.

2771 Both sides are overwhelmed with rage and anxiety, thirsting for each other’s blood. LYJ fights the mysterious man, as the bear man who instigated the frenzy disappears. SL had created a diversion for the little dragon to burrow into the crystal deposit, using the SGT’s thousands of vines to remove the crystals while the two sides are preoccupied with each other.

Chapters 2772-2780 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 8

2772 Each vine grabs a handful of crystals, steadily reducing the supply, when the mysterious man proposes a truce, not wanting to benefit Purgatory City. LYJ demands a split of 7:3, with Crafty Thorn taking 70% when the man counters by offering her 60% and taking 400,000 crystals. Listening in, SL rushes to grab more crystals, as LYJ negotiates for the man to take a flat 400,000 crystals regardless of the size of the deposit. By the time Crafty Thorn starts digging, SL had already hollowed out the mine and tunnelled away.

2773 SL now has 7-800,000 crystals, taking 99.99% of the large vein. She then hides 5 pitch black bombs around the deposit before teleporting away. Sensing energy fluctuations, LYJ urges the men to dig faster, wanting to reach the crystals before the Demonic Clan notices. Realizing she wants to renege on the agreement, the Crafty Thorn members disdain having such a deceitful person as their leader. Wanting to speed things up, LYJ personally starts to dig with all her strength, when the ground explodes.

2774 Soil starts flying through the air, as the earth parts like a sinkhole. Crafty Thorn members start to scream, when they see LYJ buried in the soil. LYJ screeches that the deposit is empty, as her followers gawk at her messy and dishevelled state. Having personally scanned the area, LYJ is certain it was filled with crystals, when she recalls the bear man who had started the fight, hollering at the Demonic Clan for taking all the crystals, and commanding her men to attack them.

2775 LYJ feels humiliated when all she finds are a few thousand crystals, while the mysterious man and the Demonic Clan had already left the area. Meanwhile, SL had taken 800,000 crystals, the LSF had 200,000 and the SGT had taken 500,000. The little dragon arrives, carrying a pouch with 400,000 crystals, giving SL 1.9 million. Combined with her previous crystals, she now has 2.1 million. Fearing the 7th elder or LLM would redeem the WSW to prevent her from advancing, SL rushes back to the old man’s prize shop.

2776 Watching the old man snub SL, the Bai Zhe reveals his fondness for tea. Recalling the Divine Fairy Tea in her space (chapter 2126), SL places a packet in front of him. The old man snatches it in a flash, giving SL a 20% discount for being the first to redeem when she gives him a second packet. Delighted, SL prompts the Bai Zhe for more hints, and he mentions the old man’s grandson has Fire and Wind attributes and needs a toy. SL gives the old man her Fire and Wind Rings (chapter 1963), and her discount increases to 30%.

2777 The Bai Zhe mentions the old man is his dedicated steward, and would also accept what the Bai Zhe likes, including drawings of himself. Taking out her pen and paper, SL sketches an exact replica of the Bai Zhe. The old man stares at the painting in shock, as the Bai Zhe continuously praises it. Before the old man can speak, SL embellishes it with a more powerful physique. While the Bai Zhe isn’t as fond of it, the old man’s eyes light up, telling SL she only needs to pay 60%, even extending the discount to all her purchases.

2778 More people start to gather and are stunned to hear SL’s discount. The Black Jade is now 3 million, the Luminous Night Pearl is 1.8, while the WSW is 1.2 million. SL redeems the WSW, giving the old man a storage item and the 1.2 million crystals to prevent bystanders from seeing what she bought. The PIF had lined up behind SL, acting amiable as she asks the old man for a discount, not knowing SL had used the DFT to soften him first. When the old man acts aloof, CXY urges her to bribe him, and she takes out her favourite weapon, only for him to toss it aside and dismiss her. The PIF is infuriated by his favouritism and storms off, while the crowd condemns the PIF for her behaviour.

2779 Several others try to bribe the old man, only to be refused each time, with few actually exchanging items. Meanwhile, SL still needs 4.8 million for the Black Jade and Luminous Night Pearl but only has 900,000 crystals. No longer interested in small and medium deposits, SL heads North West, shaking off those following her until only 3 remain – LXF, the Crafty Thorn Captain and the grandfather rhino.

2780 When SL arrives at the deposit, she disappears in a flash. Her 3 pursuers are furious at losing her, despite being stronger, when they notice the crystal deposit. Since their alliance is only tentative, the captain suggests splitting up to look for SL, as they fly away and start madly digging by themselves. The mini Bai Zhe remarks with disdain, but SL tells him not to rush.

Chapters 2781-2790 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 9

2781 The little dragon is also anxious over losing the treasures, when 3 hours pass. SL wakes from her nap to find the three men furiously digging for themselves, not wanting to share with their groups. 3/4 of the crystals have been mined, but their strengths have been exhausted. SL plans on seizing the crystals when they’re done, and saving her own energy. The Crafty Thorn Captain rejoices at not having to share with LYJ.

2782 The Captain is too immersed in his find to notice SL teleporting behind him. Sensing something, he turns, only for SL to squirt him with the sceptre, allowing the little dragon to bite his neck as the SGT grips his ankle, tossing him around. The little dragon snatches the Captain’s two storage items – one red and one blue – returning to smash his head in when SL reminds him she can’t open them if he’s still alive.

2783 SL and her pets dart away as the crystals in the storage item start to pour out. Delighted at being able to handle the Crafty Thorn Captain, and at gaining 600,000 crystals, SL decides to aim for LXF, when she sees him fighting with the old rhino. Confronting each other, they each demand the other’s crystals, warning them of their respective superiors. Seeing the old rhino charge at him, LXF sneers since he isn’t a match.

2784 LXF avoids the old rhino’s fist as they leap through the air. SL and her pets take the opportunity to dig at the remaining 600,000 crystals, lamenting not having NL to back her. Fearing the 7th elder’s arrival, the SGT removes the remaining crystals from the deposit, cutting them as 10m2 cubes of dirt, allowing SL to place it directly in her space. Putting on her mask, she contemplates how to get the remaining 1.2 million crystals.

2785 Since the old rhino is losing and SL would be forced to act if she imitates the mysterious man, she assumed the identity of the 7th elder. Seeing him, the old rhino starts to run as LXF chases him down, demanding his storage item. The old rhino surrenders them, even undoing the contract so LXF can access them without killing him. Taking the storage item, LXF twists the rhino’s neck, laughing at gaining all the crystals. Due to their alliance, LXF lets his guard down around the elder, when he’s stabbed with the CSS. The ‘elder’ denies making an agreement with him, before taking the storage items.

2786 SL hadn’t hesitated in removing LXF, knowing he wouldn’t hesitate to kill her either, racing away before the 7th elder arrives. The 7th elder rushes to LXF, enquiring about his state. Furious at seeing his assailant, LXF scratches him, with the hidden poison in his nails causing the elder’s cheek to swell. Seeing LXF point towards the elder, CYX and the rest of the squad confront him. The PIF threatens the old rhino with his grandson’s safety, and he confirms LXF’s claim.

2787 The elder rages at being falsely accused, when CXY notices the vein would’ve contained at least 2 million crystals, demanding them from the elder. Hearing this, the elder rushes to chase after the thief, warning CXY he isn’t able to defeat him. Meanwhile, SL studies her map. She now has 3.5 million crystals from the 900,000 she originally had, and the 2.4 million from the large mine, but still needs 1.3 million. Heading south, she travels and digs by herself for 3 days, extracting 1.5 million, when she runs into ZW.

2788 ZW asks if she needs the Black Jade to receive the inheritance, warning her the 7th elder had also found out and is trying to redeem it before her. SL rushes to the front of the old man’s store, as the crowd clamours for her to be thrown out for not waiting in line. Hearing their protests, the old man sends them out instead. Stunned at the old man’s bias, the elder places 5 million crystals in front of him, demanding the Black Jade. SL is shocked he’d waste 5 million crystals just to spite her, slipping a bag of DFT on the counter.

2789 The elder laughs at SL’s action, but is stunned when the bag disappears and the old man tells her it’s only 3 million with her discount. Eyeing SL’s storage item, the elder rages when he realizes its LXF’s, grabbing it before the old man can receive it. SL is indignant, but the old man won’t act until she places 7 tea bags in front of him. A wind sweeps through the elder’s hand, as he drops the storage items in shock.

2790 SL grabs the storage items, as she and the old man remark on the passing wind. The elder is furious but can’t complain about the old man, while LYJ remarks on SL’s privileges. SL responds with a smile, before redeeming the Luminous Night Pearl. The crowd lament not being able to share in SL’s luck, when she offers to redeem their items at 80% of cost.

Chapters 2791-2798 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 10

2791 SL gains 1 million crystals just by facilitating these transactions, using it to redeem 5 Fruits of Life (生命果实Shēng Mìng Guǒ Shí) to help absorb the energy within her space. SL keeps one, giving one each to the little dragon, SGT and LSF, as well as ZW for warning her about the elder. ZW reveals that LY had helped him locate SL. The Bai Zhe comments that the old man has changed, and SL realizes he wouldn’t originally obstruct others for her sake, when a voice resounds through her head. As the heir, SL can remain within the territory, while the rest have 60 seconds to leave, causing even LYJ and the elder to rush out.

2792 SL is transported to the 5th floor in a flash of light. The room is completely empty, when the Bai Zhe laughs for her to integrate the pearl and jade with the sceptre. A white light surrounds the pearl, as the RSL’s red light emerges from SL, allowing her to assimilate it within an hour. When the ground starts to tremble, the Bai Zhe urges SL to hasten, and she surrounds the pearl and sceptre with the RSL, fully merging them, before starting on the Jade.

2793 The Jade and sceptre seem to naturally repel each other. SL tries to overcome this, slowly closing the gap between them, sweating when she finally pops it into place. The sceptre lights up, and an illusion of a delicate youth in white robes appears. The youth addresses SL as young Master, identifying himself as one of YH’s 8 spirit pets. Ordered to wait for SL, she had just made it in time before he reincarnated.

2794 Noticing the faded sceptre and the collapsing territory, SL directly asks about the inheritance, pulling the Bai Zhe back from being overwhelmed by his joy and affection. The Bai Zhe assumes a cross legged pose, opening his palms as energy flies towards SL. Feeling the warmth, SL follows the Bai Zhe’s direction to absorb it, clearing her mind as it slowly fills up with spiritual energy. SL’s complexion turns rosy, while the Bai Zhe’s vitality is drained, performing his task with dignity despite his pale complexion and white hair.

2795 SL feels reborn, while the Bai Zhe only feels uncomfortable despite his weakened state. Under his direction, SL notices a woman’s shadow, identifying it as YH, as she demonstrates the Goddess Sword Technique (神女剑法 Shén Nǚ Jiàn Fǎ). Suddenly a light bursts from the Bai Zhe’s hand, and a woman identical to SL, but with more charm and grace, appears. Looking at SL, YH laughs that her hair has almost turned white waiting for SL. Since she’s in the Spirit World, YH is communicating through a dimensional projection. The GST is a top tier technique, which is incomparable if SL can learn all 9 levels.

2796 YH reveals the last SNG map piece is in the battlegrounds and that someone will present to SL when she’s strong enough. YH has also hidden treasures in the tomb of the God of 8 Strifes to prevent SL from being a pauper when she enters the Spirit World. Noticing YH’s projection becoming more faded, SL’s unable to resist mentioning CZ and RY’s search for her, noticing a flicker of frustration across YH’s face. When SL asks about her father, YH remarks that knowing too early can only harm her, but reveals that of the 3 million small worlds, 90,000 large worlds, 18 continents and 4 supreme planes, he was undeniably the strongest hero and God. YH’s projection fades before revealing his current situation. Seeing YH disappear, the Bai Zhe leaps after her, leaving SL alone in the tomb. Without the Bai Zhe, the tomb starts to collapse, but SL had already guessed this and teleports away.

2797 As the territory caves in, SL rushes away using her leg bones and the Bai Zhe’s inheritance, despite the Bai Zhe being too starry eyed in front of YH to reveal a safe path for her. SL escapes just in time, vowing to retaliate against the Bai Zhe, as the waves and snow start coursing through, and energy starts to disperse throughout the territory. When SL takes out her flying ship, a pair of strong arms rope around her waist, and SL is stunned to see NL’s flawless face, lamenting how irresistible he is to women.

2798 SL complains the Bai Zhe had forgotten her for YH, piquing NL’s curiosity, given her hold on RY, CZ and the former Crafty Thorn leader. SL recounts her meeting, knowing YH hadn’t abandoned her, and treats her better than CZ, having ignored him despite how fervently he searches for her. SL also mentions her father, an unrivalled hero in a difficult situation, smiling that with the GST, NL might not be a match for her soon.
