*Squawk* *Squawk*
Michael raised his arm, and the white dove perched there. He took a small tube at its leg and unfolded the paper using a special magnifying glass.
After reading the brief report from his people, he burned the paper.
"What’s that?" Azrael was curious.
"It’s my intel. Just so random bug tried to ss with us but ended up being destroyed instead." Michael shrugged.
"We shall wrap this up and go to the last hunting spot. There are still many unexpected treasures waiting for us to plunder." Azrael unfolded a world map.
Several markers had been crossed, indicating they had explored the place. Those places were the ruins or treasure troves visited in their monthly treasure hunts.
So incredible treasures remained hidden behind sothing unexpected, not even detected by the treasure compass. However, their new recruit could be a living treasure compass and luck charm!
Bai Yuchen’s luck was useful for disabling unexpected traps and confusing chanisms. Furthermore, it was more like they were found by treasures than they were searching for treasures.
"Hey, brothers and sisters... I should have passed the entry test. Then, when can I officially join Sacred Sakura and receive my cultivation outfit? Why are we going on a treasure hunt? It’s been over ten days..." Bai Yuchen lay limply on the folding bed. He felt his luck was being taken advantage of in the past few days.
It was okay if it was a usual treasure hunt. He got a powerful and helpful treasure-hunter team, and everything went smoothly.
Unfortunately, he was usually used as bait or sothing similar. Even though he was unhard and received many rewards in return, he felt tired. It was already ten days!
"Well, the effort will not betray results. We helped you to accumulate so starter credit points, boy. You got 10% of the treasures. You should be grateful." Azrael rubbed his chin.
They would have gone to one more place before returning, but it was a difficult choice to determine the last best place to be re-explored.
Bai Yuchen rolled his eyes. He received one-tenth of the overall loot, but he has accumulated quite a lot of wealth and resources.
Although grateful that his seniors helped him enrich himself, he thought it would be too greedy if they continuously sought more treasures. Soone had to know when to stop and enjoy the results of their efforts.
Regardless, Bai Yuchen ended up wondering about the credit point. He had heard that several tis but felt it was just like the usual prominent sect’s rit points.
"Then, shall we go to one more place and return? Anyway, how many credit points have I accumulated? Also, how can we get credit besides the treasure hunt? Do I need to go run so subjugation quests? Refine or make sothing?" Bai Yuchen got up. He would receive a good amount of credit points in his starter career.
Apart from the exploration and looting missions, he also received Saintess Miko’s favour. Everything would be wonderfully well for him.
"That’s clearly still zero. Credit is not a contribution or rit like in secular sects or organizations. You can only get credit points by exchanging your treasures, resources, and valuables to the warehouse." Michael crossed his arms over his chest.
"Huh? Do I need to convert my loot into credit points? How can I exchange that? What can I get with credit points anyway?" Bai Yuchen hugged his storage pouch.
"et Sakura-chan. She will help you exchange your loot for credit points. We use it for transactions between disciples and mbers. Also, you can only use credit points to buy things from the warehouse." Remiel alternately swung her legs while fiddling with so gold coins in her hand.
"More importantly, we can request sothing with credit points, including so peerless weapons and artifacts! I can’t wait to get my holy weapon upgrade and request another S Rank weapon." The nearby girl clasped her hands with sparkling eyes. She then wiped her dagger with great care.
"We need to ascend to the 7th Rank to hold S Rank items, eighth sister." Despite saying that, Remiel was also looking forward to that.
"Yes, but we are already in the 6th Rank, and all disciples are already in the 5th Rank or above. Look here. You are also excited, Remi." The eight-sister, Camael, tried to stroke Remiel’s fluffy wolf tail as it wagged left and right.
"Stop it, Mae. You can’t touch my tail. No, Camael!" Remiel avoided her sister’s grasp. She then hugged her fluffy wolf tail to protect it from her eighth sister.
"Heehee~ So nice. Sacred Sakura has many beauties and good seniors. Why did I join this good sect now? All those years of hardship. Heaven, thank you..." Bai Yuchen clenched his fist with a tear in the corner of his eye, but he imdiately cleared his throat. "But, ahem! May I know who Sakura-chan you are referring to?"
"She is at the shrine abode. You’ll et her when we get back. She is all pink and adorable, but she is fierce. Don’t ss with her, or you will suffer." Camael reminded her junior with a solemn tone.
"All pink and adorable? I may have t such a beauty, but she is cold and always wears a veil." Bai Yuchen scratched his head.
He could still rember that veiled, cold beauty in a pink outfit when he t Saintess Miko in Reustin City.
"No, you t sixth sister, not Sakura." Remiel shook her head.
"Is that so? Then, I haven’t t Sakura-chan. Based on her na alone... she is clearly a graceful beauty and kind big sister figure, right?" Bai Yuchen crossed his arms and nodded in agreent to his own statent.
"Are you sick, boy? Sakura-chan is only as big as a palm, and her humanoid form resembles a five-year-old girl." Azrael replied with a disgusted expression.
"Oh, gracious God..." Bai Yuchen clutched his head. The kind-hearted big sister image typical of a classy receptionist broke out in his mind. It was replaced with a five-year-old girl. "Wait, five-year-old girl? Humanoid form? Is she a demi-human?"
"Sakura-chan is a tree spirit." Remiel hopped down from the boulder because the others were ready to explore the last treasure hunt spot.
It was only ten days, and they would return with abundant treasures and resources to prepare to face the future God-tier enemies.
Azrael then led the team of over two dozen people to where Uriel and Remiel found an unexplored ruin last month.
That place was buried under the ground due to the earthquake. Nevertheless, with the luck booster around, they might be able to find a pleasant surprise and unexpected treasure again.

While everyone was busy out there, Ely had just finished doing her morning prayer. She went to her garden to ensure the herbs and flowers were fresh and thriving, not affected much by the cold winter.
The garden’s magic items were still functioning normally, and the plants were thriving as usual, including the precious vitality herbs.
"Holy Maiden Ely. When will you return to that sacred ground again?" Zi Xuan floated around Ely. It was ti for her to ask for help.
"I will perform my monthly sacred ritual tomorrow afternoon. It’s a blue crystal coffin in the corner, buried in a pile of rubble, right?" Ely recalled that coffin-like blue crystal near the sacred ground’s teleportation array. She still rembered that Fairy- sothing was beautifully engraved on it.
"Err... yeah. Can you take it out for ? After that, I hope you can help to unseal my body from the coffin and treat my strange sickness. I may be asking too much, but I will compensate you beautifully. I will also grant you one wish, whatever it may be." Zi Xuan stood before Ely and raised her index finger.
"Make it three, or there’s no deal." Ely grasped Zi Xuan’s hand and pulled two fingers out so it beca a three-finger gesture.
Zi Xuan stared at Ely’s eyes, and she could see no greed. "Okay. But! You should know your limit. I can refuse if you ask sothing outrageous. Also, that is if you can comply with my requests..."
"Wonderful! If I fail, I still have so reliable helpers. If that’s not enough, I still have my Goddess Master~" Ely put her hands together with a happy smile.
"..." Zi Xuan heaved a subtle sigh.
Her strange sickness had haunted her since she was ten years old and couldn’t even be cured by people from the upper realm, including her clan and the Moon Palace.
She really hoped Ely’s Goddess Master could heal her. In this way, she could cultivate and regain her honor and talent as a peerless genius, the saintess of the Moon Palace.
Regardless of what happened to her clan, she would need more strength for everything. Even the Moon Palace wouldn’t acknowledge her identity if she was useless, let alone help her after her fall.
The first step she had to take was to unseal her body and cure her sickness.
