255 The Core Steal I

Jen finally completed a temporary shelter.

Only ten meters area was circled around colorless flower for the purpose of protection.

Long and thick hanging vines completely blocked poison smoke, to work with three layers was a good idea though, Jen took whole two hours to complete this and came back.

Few bugs saw her temporary shelter, many of them don't have protected nests or caves so they came to ask her permission whether they could hide inside.

They have no way to fight against the poison smoke so best notion was to avoid it.

Jen let them stay inside safe area.

It benefited also, the glow worms lit up in the darkness, as soon as she gave permission not only bugs swarmed in but various types of birds which were her fist size and bigger came looking for refuge.

Jen did not mind.

Early dawn, everything settled and Jen returned back to nourish the flower, she could notice few changes taking place in the appearance of this unusually big flower.

Jen resumed her calm and serene composure.

She let her essence flow reside in surrounding, surprisingly after late morning, the flower stopped speaking and there was complete silence, the bugs and the birds went toward the Swan Lake, but they were united on one idea, since they lived in this place and many experts came here and protect different treasure, these bugs and birds were aware what was a crucial period during the preparation of a treasure.

Late morning, the corpse of the serpent fully degenerated and there was no more smoke coming, it was safe now for everyone, the birds were thankful and wanted to payback this favor.

They were aware, there must be few enemies eyeing this treasure too but unfortunately and unexpectedly no one came to help the girl, it was clear that expert would not come for her help.

Since this was the case then she was alone in the coming danger.

The decided that they would return back after noon and keep a look at the situation.

Jen was little shocked to see the changes now, the flower slowly got a ruby shade from the tips while the inner part was turning into deep sea color, it looked beautiful.

The expectations really came true, the treasure showed up visible signs of first level treasure and soon there will commotion among the cultivators who were vying to get first level treasure.

This colorless flower turned Top tier Clone Mending material The Heart of the Sea Stone, this stone was used in the making of first level weapons, the true worth of this stone can only be predicted by the Cone Menders.

Clone Mending was a branch in the Menders Proficiency, the total numbers of the clone menders can be counted on finger tips, because this was hardest Aptitude to advance.

"Do you still think she is arrogant?" the expert could see the ongoing development and the way the girl risked herself for all night and protected this treasure.

"I know what you are implying," Yongjie turned his face, he was not ready to admit that this girl was able to do this.

They were experts and the secrets nobody could ever get their hands at were known to them, it does not depend on the seed what kind of treasure it would turn out after nourishment.

The truth was a secret, what kind of treasure would appear completely depends on the one who nourish it, the quality of the essence, the roots of the cultivator, the diligence and sincerity and many more reflect openly when the flower changes into treasure that means it was not the quality of the seed but the quality of the person who nourish it.

But this was not known to anyone, everyone thought that the seeds planted by experts bore such deep qualities, only experts were aware what this protection and nourishment aim was.

The experts wanted to provide all varieties of the treasures and no one but every human possess different personality and qualities so it could be witnessed through the nature itself.

The natures of the protectors and the present situation form a secret combination of fiber and when a sprouted seed intake this essence, it would show up the hidden phenomena of nature.

"She is still way behind to complete the task," Yongjie excused.

He knew there will be someone ready to snatch this treasure and late noon they perhaps appear.

"You don't want to go?" the other expert asked with concern, he was concerned because her cultivation level was not enough to protect first level treasure, and there must be stronger stealer this time.

"You forgot she is facing punishment and I don't help when it comes my rules," he stood up and left.

No one ever dared to hurt his ego and this girl number of times trampled on it, how can he easily forgive?

He was true self of egomaniac, sigh.

At the peak of the mountain, the old man appeared again, he came to check what kind of treasure appeared this time, if it was not related to his need, he won't bother to fight for it.

He usually came to take a look but unfortunately, he returned because the treasure don't meet his standard and demand, he was working on a weapon from previous decade and it's been ten years that he was looking for material to complete the weapon but disappointed several times wherever he went to get his hands on certain treasure type.

Today, he was here to test his luck.

He looked around, the hopeless man was not around him, he dashed toward the upper region to take a closer look, his mouth was agape to see the changes and what else was needed to make him believe, the Heart of the Sea Stone was what he strived for ten years.

He promptly looked at the girl in disbelieve, "I don't believe this little girl nourished this treasure," he shook his head.

It was exactly late noon and the bugs and the birds were returning.

Jen was done up now.

The colorless flower was no more colorless and it was no more taking her essence and absorbing it, but before she could understand why it was not further absorbing, the three layers of the vines blasted away, the remnants flew everywhere and Jen was forced in the corner by the impact.

The old man thought it would be enough to render her helpless and he would easily steal the treasure, how can Jen face a golden Legend Realm wild punch, the old man spared her and did not aim at her considering that this girl deserve to live.

He was indeed magnanimous to think this way.

Jen could not get it initially but after giving it a thought she stood up, since she was handed responsibility to protect then there was not option despite the fact that the stealer was insanely powerful.

"Don't you fear the anger of expert when you are stealing?" she spoke very calm while fixing her composure.

Yongjie heard from afar and felt sarcasm in her tone.

So she was trying to use his name as a threat?

Old man ignored her words and leapt toward the treasure, but before he could steal, a strong force stopped and sent him flying, he not only ignored the girl, but the possibility of someone else appearing here, such a strong and blind desire to get treasure.

"You began party without me?" the man snickered.

The man was not slacking, he was keeping his eyes at the development as well, as soon as old man made a move, he showed up as well.

"This treasure only belong to me," the old man chuckled in return and threw his wild punch at the man.

He was aware about the man, but the presence of treasure in front of him simply lured him to ignore other things.

"It is yet to be decided," the man mocked, he did not stop wild punch instead he blasted his strong dominion and the center of blast was definitely old man.

Jen looked blank, how this mocking and snickering will end? She was thinking, they took her as if she was not present there.

The blasted dominion brought chaos.

Jen protected herself first and then the treasure but it seemed treasure don't need smaller level protection anymore when these two were vying it.

Old man took this attack as a chance to steal and run away.

The man was overly confident but the old man was little in haste to bother and begin any fight scene.

It was a wise move in the scenario that the dominion of the man was no more restricting because he himself blasted it.

Old man stole and dashed between the paddocks leaping with the help of his dominion, his brisk walk was too wild and wanton.

The man sighed and followed, he knew this cunning old man would resort to many ways.
