"Gurgle..."
Gu Yuan swallowed hard, feeling his throat dry. He had never expected this seemingly harmless little thing to be able to unleash such terrifying power.
"This 'Phantom Sand Thorn' consumes one-third of my spiritual energy in one go. It really won't work without a technique."
"Congratulations, host, mission accomplished. Host has obtained one earth attribute technique and one earth attribute spiritual skill, increasing his cultivation by two levels."
Suddenly, the system's voice sounded in Gu Yuan's mind. He felt a shock all over his body, and his cultivation level reached the third-level spiritual disciple.
"Holy crap! Is Mu San done?"
Gu Yuan was at a loss for words. He had just finished speaking when the reward arrived.
I took out the purple gold card and took a look, and sure enough, 30,000 gold coins were deducted.
Gu Yuan smacked his lips and thought to himself that it would be great if there were more tasks like this so that he could become stronger faster.
But he knew that there might not be too many such tasks in the future.
"Let's go and see what the system's skills and spiritual techniques are like first."
He hurried into the cave and moved a huge rock to block the entrance. Gu Yuan turned on the tinder and lit the firewood he had prepared in advance, and the cave became bright again.
"Brother System, where are my skills and spiritual abilities?" Gu Yuan asked impatiently.
A bunch of information entered his mind, and the details of the skills and spiritual techniques appeared in his mind.
"Evolvable technique: Wanhua Devouring Soul Technique. Devour the souls of all things and cultivate an immortal body. Current rank: First rank."
Although the introduction of the technique was very short, Gu Yuan was completely stunned by the words "evolvable technique".
"A system that can evolve earth-attribute techniques, that is... a technique that can continuously improve its grade?"
"Yes, host."
Gu Yuan slapped himself twice, and feeling the burning pain on his face, he confirmed that he was not dreaming.
He was about to curse the system when he saw the first-grade technique, but then he saw the three words "can evolve".
"It can evolve...it can evolve...hahahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich!"
Gu Yuan raised his head and laughed, a blush appearing on his face due to excitement.
It was a long while before Gu Yuan stopped.
But the smile on his face did not diminish at all, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched behind his ears.
"Kung Fu can evolve, but what about spiritual skills?"
Gu Yuan continued reading. "It can evolve into an earth-attributed spiritual skill: Sand Sea Cage. The user can use this spiritual skill to combine with the earth to create a cage and seal off space. Current rank: First rank."
"They can also evolve, meow! Wouldn't it be heaven-defying if I evolve them all into the ninth grade one day?" Gu Yuan thought happily.
"Let's practice the technique first."
Exhaling, Gu Yuan took out some food and water from the ring. He would stay in the cave for the next few days until he mastered the skills and techniques.
…
As the sun sets, the sky is filled with red clouds.
Kru stood in the restaurant room with the windows open, taking in the entire situation at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, while counting the time in his mind.
"…fourteen…fifteen!"
When they counted to fifteen, a group of soldiers walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, then divided into two teams to guard the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Each team consists of twelve people, who take turns changing shifts. The shift change interval is two hours, and the interval between shifts is fifteen breaths."
Kru secretly wrote down these data. These were things he had to master before sneaking into the City Lord's Mansion.
Looking at the red glow in the sky, the afterglow shone on Kru's face. There was no expression on his face, only an unyielding determination to move forward.
Now that he has made the decision, he has to do it even if it costs his life. What's more, he may not die!
"Just wait until dark."
The long wait did not make Crewe impatient at all. Past experiences had taught him to wait.
Like a wolf waiting for its prey in the dark night.
When the midnight hour arrived, Crewe changed into night clothes, jumped out of the window and blended into the darkness.
The weather was bad tonight, with dark clouds blocking the moonlight, but that was exactly what Kru wanted. It seemed even God was helping him.
"The soldiers will start changing shifts at midnight. There's only fifteen breaths left, which should be enough."
Looking at the high walls of the City Lord's Mansion, Kru secretly calculated the time.
As midnight arrived, Kru began to get nervous.
"Old Liu, let's go. It's time to change shifts. I'm so sleepy."
"Oh, there's nothing we can do. I don't know what the hell is going on. They're forcing us to stay here for so long."
"Forget it, let's go."
Several soldiers chatted with each other, opened the door of the City Lord's Mansion, and walked in one after another.
"Right now."
Kru carefully released the spiritual energy, wrapped himself in it, and ran towards the gate hiding in the darkness.
"Fifteen...twelve...nine..."
When he counted to nine, Crewe had already heard the footsteps of the relief team, and at this moment he had just arrived at the gate.
"The team taking over needs to turn left before coming here, so they won't be able to see me."
Kru exerted force on his feet and sped up, finally entering the City Lord's Mansion before the relief team arrived at the gate.
Quietly sticking it to the inner wall, Kru recalled the architectural layout of the City Lord's Mansion drawn for him by his friend Aman who worked in the City Lord's Mansion during the day.
"Turn left at the gate and you'll find the backyard, where His Highness and the Princess live. It's not protected by the City Lord's Mansion, but it's guarded by His Highness's own guards."
Thinking about what Aman said to him, Kru hid in the dark and walked towards the backyard along the wall.
The night was quiet. With the help of the darkness, Kru slowly approached the backyard. The distance was not very long, but it took him a full quarter of an hour to enter the backyard.
