The Heist
"Qi deficiency and a weak body require strengthening the foundation and replenishing the vital energy."
Qianluo waved her hand and threw out countless small green bottles, saying generously: "Eat them all."
Qian Ruixue nodded: "Yeah."
"I'm going to rest now. Repair the formation plate after you finish eating." Qian Luo gave orders without any hesitation. The Dragon Prison Demon Fairy Formation combines defense and attack in one. It can control Nascent Soul cultivators and is extremely powerful. It is most suitable to use it at this time.
Qian Luo didn't expect him to be able to really cultivate, so she just found something for him to do so that he wouldn't have to keep an eye on her every day. She didn't even have time to use the cultivation simulator.
"good."
The young man took out the array plate obediently and began to study how to repair it. His eyes were focused and the light was flowing. It was more pleasing to watch beautiful people working.
Qianluo withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes, and pretended to practice.
[This simulation consumes 1 point, 6 simulation opportunities remaining, and 6 points remaining.]
Start simulation
At the age of 203, you finally rescued Qian Ruixue. The two of you hid in the mountains. Qian Ruixue was responsible for repairing the ancient array disk, and you were responsible for scouting the surrounding area.
A year later, chaos reigns in the Upper Three Districts. Countless cultivators, like caged beasts, are unable to escape. They must fight to the bitter end or flee. Chu Lianxi and Wu Xingxue are engaged in a desperate search, while you and Qian Ruixue worry and ponder countermeasures.
[Now, the upper three districts are completely closed, and the gold medal is useless. You can only urge Qian Ruixue to repair the array disk as soon as possible, but unfortunately, repairing the array disk requires extremely precious materials.]
[You two took a risk and went out to search for materials and gather information. The environment in the upper three areas is harsh, with few spiritual plants. If you are lucky, you may occasionally enter the secret realm and pick spiritual plants.]
[Five years later, you've escaped death many times, gathered materials, and finally repaired the array. It's a shame Chu Lianxi and Wu Xingxue have already discovered your whereabouts.]
[Four people fought, you were defeated and unfortunately passed away.]
[Simulation ends…]
In a blink of an eye, she had the materials to repair the formation in her hands.
"Just this, I'm afraid, is not enough."
Qianluo was in a dilemma. She only had a few simulation opportunities, which might not be enough. She didn't know if she could win the chance to obtain the restored ancient array disk.
[The simulation ends, and you obtain the Purple Gold Stone.]
[Simulation ends, you get the Jade Fairy Block]
[Simulation ends, you get...]
…
This is the last time! You must win!
[Simulation ends, you obtain the Dragon Prisoner Magic Array (Restored Version)]
Great! Qianluo tidied up her things, glanced at the young man who was repairing them, and looked at the materials in her hands. These rare treasures should be worth 1 point in total, right?
But how do I take out the repaired array plate? Will Qian Ruixue be suspicious?
She thought to herself, frowning, and set the matter aside for now. The reality was different from the previous simulation. Her repeated actions had accelerated the Taiyin Group's plan to monopolize District 9.
Wu Xingxue and Chu Lianxi must be killed. As for the Venerable behind the Taiyin Group, she had never seen him in the simulation. Perhaps only Wu Xingxue and Chu Lianxi knew his information.
"Fellow Daoist Qian! Fellow Daoist Qian! Ye Qingying is in trouble, please lend me a helping hand!"
This was the communication symbol she had left for Ye Qingying. What difficulties had Ye Qingying encountered? Could it be that she had met Wu Xingxue and the others?
Thinking of this, she patted Qian Ruixue, a fierce look flashing in her eyes: "Let's go!"
Qian Ruixue didn't waste any words, put away the formation plate, and followed the female cultivator.
The two of them sped all the way and came to a villa with the words "Ci Xin Welfare Home" written on it. The villa was brand new, spotless, with bright windows and clean tables. Qian Luo looked around and found that many monks gathered here, but they looked troubled and seemed to be in trouble.
"What kind of shocking thief is this? He's just a petty thief hiding his head and showing his tail!"
"My magical treasures, Purple Smoke Snake Whip and Sunset Feather Robe! Who on earth is this little thief? Don't let me catch him!"
It turned out that a thief had stolen their things. Qianluo's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. She had thought it was a big deal!
"Qianluo, you're here!" Ye Qingying spotted Qianluo from a distance. With a tap of her toes, she landed in front of her, holding her forehead with her hand and smiling bitterly. "You heard it too, didn't you? Recently, a thief stole our treasures. We have no choice but to hide here. With only Nascent Soul cultivation, but no spiritual treasures, it's hard to use them."
"My things were also stolen. We are so busy trying to find the thief. If we run into Wu Xingxue and the others, we will be at their mercy."
Qian Luo had never imagined that even though the atrocities of the Taiyin Group were known to everyone, some people would still take advantage of the situation to start internal conflicts and steal other people's treasures. This was truly...improper behavior.
"Hey? What is this?" Ye Qingying was stunned. She saw the snow-white hair so early, and she was so scared that she thought Wu Xingxue had come!
As he got closer, he was completely different from Wu Xingxue's noble and cold demeanor! Instead, he was a modest gentleman, as gentle as jade and cool. Coupled with his stunning face that was slightly youthful, he had an indescribable beauty.
"Ouch!" Ye Qingying couldn't help but poke Qianluo's arm and smiled crookedly, "I didn't expect to find such a beautiful woman so soon!"
Qian Luo was speechless for a moment, and held her forehead: "Let's talk about business." At the same time, she waved her hand, telling Qian Ruixue not to follow her.
Qian Ruixue looked at the curious eyes of the monks around her, fixed her gaze, stepped forward, found a tree to sit under, and through the green branches and leaves, she could vaguely see bits of snow.
…
"But... I don't know how to solve cases." Qian Luo withdrew her gaze. She didn't know how to catch thieves.
Ye Qingying knew it was useless to look for her, but she and the others came up with a plan: "Lure the snake out of its hole!"
When a notorious thief encounters a monk with rare treasures, he will steal the monk's treasures in the early morning and leave a note saying: I borrowed it because I was in a hurry, and I will return it someday!
Qianluo couldn't help but blurt out: "...Chu, Chu Liuxiang?"
Ye Qingying: "Hmm? What's that? The name of the shocking thief?"
"No...it's not important. You want me to show you that I have a treasure, and then you can ambush me and seize him?"
Ye Qingying nodded. "That's right. The Shocking Thief can confuse the mind. No matter how many Heart-Clearing Pills you take or how many spells you recite, it's useless. But we've discovered that as long as we're far away, he won't control the mind. We'll ambush him around, and you can demonstrate your Sky-Reaching Snow Tower today, okay?"
With the last sentence, Ye Qingying even acted like a spoiled child. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Qianluo, knowing that she was kind-hearted and would give in to soft words rather than harsh ones. Now that the treasure had been stolen, she had no choice but to ask her for help.
Qianluo raised her eyebrows: "Haven't you ever experimented with this before? Did he escape?"
Ye Qingying became angry when she mentioned this: "The Shocking Thief is extremely fast. Even the cultivators among us who are best at escaping can't catch up with him!"
She paused, a look of joy on her face. "He definitely won't be able to escape this time. The director of the Cixin Welfare Home has returned and promised us to activate the protective formation. It will be easy to trap the shocking thief!"
"Everything is ready, only east wind is missing!"
Qianluo was puzzled: "Dean?"
"Oh, look at my brain, I forgot to tell you! We came here by chance and found only a few children. Thinking that no one was watching them, we protected them while hiding from the Taiyin Group. But the dean is away on a long trip, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"It was here that we had our things stolen by the Shocking Thief. The Dean came back a few days ago, and she had heard a lot of rumors about the Shocking Thief. They were also spreading outside, causing the monks to cover their treasures like thieves, fearing that they would be stolen."
"The dean is a Jindan cultivator,"
Ye Qingying pulled her aside and introduced Chang Yi, the director of the Cixin Welfare Institute. "Actually, this is also our fault. We were so focused on fighting the Taiyin Group that we forgot there were many cultivators who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Their cultivation wasn't strong enough, and they were isolated from information, so they didn't anticipate the conspiracy behind the Taiyin Group. Some were lucky enough to escape the Upper Three Districts before anything happened, while others were unlucky and lost their lives, leaving their children orphaned."
"Alas, it's a pity that we found out too late, but there's nothing we can do about it. If we don't fight the Taiyin Group, these children will become its experimental subjects in the future."
"The dean couldn't bear to see these poor children, so he worked hard to establish the Cixin Welfare Home. The dean's family has a formation passed down by a Yuanying senior, so they can ensure the safety of the welfare home."
Qianluo looked at the skinny children, whose eyes flashed with vigilance. They retreated in a large number and hid behind the trees. She could only watch them from afar and did not welcome these outsiders.
"Qianluo, you must help me!"
Faced with Ye Qingying's sincere gaze, Qian Luo could only nod helplessly.
…
Under Ye Qingying's manipulation, Qianluo pretended to practice fighting with the cultivators and deliberately showed off her Tongtian Snow Tower: "My snow tower is not ordinary, it is an innate spiritual treasure that possesses the law of frost and snow!"
"Innate spiritual treasure!" The cultivator was shocked! In this day and age, there are actually innate spiritual treasures. This one was nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and it is not comparable to ordinary spiritual treasures.
"Yeah! Isn't that amazing?"
Qian Luo spoke her lines dryly, and Ye Qingying in the corner gave her a thumbs up. The two ignored the dark light in the eyes of the monks around them.
When night fell, someone was chanting some magic words downstairs. The sound spread farther and farther, passed the door, passed the window, and came into a room.
The orchid grass in the room swayed gently, emitting a faint blue light. At the same time, Qianluo, who was practicing, had increasingly heavy eyelids, and finally fell asleep without anyone noticing.
"Hehe, this treasure is really good stuff!" Someone rubbed his hands and stared at the female cultivator's storage bag greedily, his eyes shining.
The shadows of the trees are swaying, the moonlight outside the window is like water, and the faint light of snow is floating by.
Before the man could succeed, a cultivator passed through the wall. The man was so frightened that he held his breath and used a spell to become invisible. He was surprised to find that there was actually someone coveting the Tongtian Snow Tower!
Sure enough, there is more than one "Great Thief" here!
Indeed, they were the monks who had seen the Tongtian Snow Tower during the day. Originally, they were all experimental subjects of the Taiyin Group, and they had gathered together for profit, preparing to attack the Taiyin Group together. However, the Taiyin Group was too powerful for them to defeat easily.
Blinded by desire, they learned of the existence of the Shocking Thief and intentionally or unintentionally stole the spiritual treasures of their fellow monks, pushing everything onto the Shocking Thief. At the same time, they appeared in a swaggering manner and did not escape alone.
"Hahaha, Tongtian Snow Tower!" The man grabbed Qianluo's storage bag and couldn't stop laughing. "What an idiot! He actually agreed to Ye Qingying's request and showed off his treasure in public!"
He cursed inwardly for a few times, then felt something was wrong! This female cultivator was originally a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could she faint so suddenly! He suddenly became alert, covered his mouth and nose, and noticed the orchid grass at the head of the bed, and cried out inwardly: "Not good."
Before he could wake up, the invisible male cultivator laughed and said, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Now I, the mantis, have become smart for once."
With a flick of his fingertips, the storage bag containing the spiritual treasure fell into his hands. Seeing the male cultivator fall down, he couldn't help but sigh: "If you hadn't seen my face, I might have spared your life."
"Now... it's impossible!" His eyes flashed, and a flash of fire appeared in his hand. The gushing flames burned the male cultivator to ashes without leaving a trace before he could scream.
The Black Demonic Flame, the second-ranked strange fire, was obtained by him with great difficulty.
His gaze fell on the female cultivator. "What a pity! Talented people like us are likely to perish in this fire."
He has poisoned the orchids in every room with the sap of a thousand-year-old poisonous tree. If you smell it, you will immediately become like a mortal, without spiritual power, unable to fight, with your body limp and all five senses lost.
"Hahaha!"
"All the magic weapons are mine!"
He laughed wildly, very sure that there were no sober monks in the Compassionate Welfare Institute, and he showed his true side without any scruples!
The snow outside the window moved slightly, just a green shadow as swift as a meteor, suddenly appeared, and the voice of the person who came was lazy, but revealed a hint of disgust.
"Tsk, so you're pretending to be me?"
The male cultivator looked back and saw that it was a female cultivator wearing a black sportswear and a high ponytail. She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, a tall figure, and the way she spoke and acted gave off a feeling of wanting a beating.
He felt his palms itching, took a few steps back, and said in a deep voice: "Daoyou, is it the Shocking Thief?"
"Hmm? Who came up with that name? It's not domineering at all!" The female cultivator leaned nonchalantly against the window. Seeing the female cultivator slumped on the bed and the ashes on the ground, she scratched her ears. "Even thieves have their own code of conduct. You actually committed murder and arson. It really makes me... unhappy."
As soon as she finished speaking, the female cultivator pulled out a feather from her hair, and the feather instantly turned into thousands of needles, which attacked the male cultivator one after another. The sharp light contained a cold and dangerous aura.
“Damn it!”
The male cultivator waved his hand! Black demonic flames suddenly appeared, rushing over like a fire dragon, burning the female cultivator's feather steel needle. After a while, under the male cultivator's smug eyes, black ashes fell to the ground.
"What kind of broken spiritual treasure do you dare to show off in front of the Black Demon Flame!"
"Strange fire? Interesting."
The female cultivator laughed twice and lightly tapped her fingertips, illuminating the entire room with a lavender light. "Huh? I think I have one too. Shall we compare?"
The male cultivator's expression changed: "Lapis Lazuli Pure Fire! How could you possibly!"
The Glazed Pure Fire disappeared more than a hundred years ago. Didn’t all the female cultivators of the Jiang family die?
"You're from the Jiang family of the Upper Third District!" He suddenly remembered that the Jiang family of the Middle Third District and the Jiang family of the Upper Third District were originally one and the same! The Jiang family of the Middle Third District was just a branch! The Jiang family of the Upper Third District was the main family. The Glazed Pure Fire was nothing to the Jiang family of the Upper Third District because they possessed a treasure even better than the Glazed Pure Fire!
"So what if it's the Glazed Pure Fire? A mere third-ranked Strange Fire dares to be compared with the second-ranked Black Demonic Flame?" He wasn't bragging, the Strange Fire rankings were well-deserved. Except for the number one, the Emberless Fire, which hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, he had never seen any flame that could suppress the Black Demonic Flame!
"Oh? Then let's give it a try!"
The female cultivator smiled brightly, her teeth as white as pearls. She moved her slender fingers slightly, and a lavender flame spread out little by little until it exploded with a "bang". The entire villa was shrouded in lavender flames, like a gem in the flames, burning brighter and brighter, as bright as daylight, illuminating everyone's faces.
"You lunatic!" He actually ignored himself and enveloped himself in the flames. The strange fire would not harm its owner, but if he wanted to protect himself, he would definitely use the black devil flame to cover the glass pure fire, and the female cultivator and everyone else would die!
He stuffed the storage bag into his arms, his eyes darkening: "Since you want to die, then I will grant you your wish!"
Since the female cultivator in front of them is so ungrateful, let them compete to see who has the greater obligation!
With a "boom", the black flames enveloped the lavender flames, wrapping them from the inside out, until the entire villa was shrouded in a heavy haze.
There is purple in black, and black in purple. The two compete with each other with great momentum, fighting for supremacy.
Flames shot up into the sky! The surrounding trees suddenly withered and turned black.
Outside the window, the shadow of snow fluttered gently, and the black powder was blown away by the wind. Furthermore, even the rivers had become dry. The once vibrant, lush forests had suddenly become barren, dry and water-starved.
The young man muttered to himself, "...It's not the Glazed Pure Fire."
…
The female cultivator in the room smiled softly. Meeting the male cultivator's determined gaze, she blinked playfully and cunningly, "Who told you this is Glazed Pure Fire?"
"Don't you know what the Jiang family is best at?" She pointed her finger and took away his storage bag while he was distracted.
The male cultivator was stunned. Unlike the female cultivators from the Jiang family in the middle three districts who possessed the Glazed Pure Fire, the female cultivators from the Jiang family in the upper three districts were born with the spiritual root of thunder. Thunder would attract fire, so the fire would definitely be big!
Unfortunately, he thought about it for too long.
A loud thunderclap fell from the sky, thunder and fire roared, flames flew, and it was extremely hot. Even he could not withstand the high temperature, and under the influence of the thunderclap, he died in his own black magic flame without even saying a word.
With a sudden blow, the earth shook and the villa was on the verge of collapse. A breeze blew and extinguished the fire, stabilizing the situation. A spell flashed by and the villa was safe and sound.
Everyone just fell into a sweet dream.
"What kind of treasure is it that is worth him doing this?" The female cultivator opened it and saw that it was empty!
"What's going on?" Her eyes moved and her face darkened. She was actually deceived?
No, it was the male cultivator who was deceived by her!
She squinted her eyes and saw through the hazy bed curtains that the originally sleeping female cultivator slowly stood up!
She pushed aside the obstructing curtain and stepped forward: "Who on earth are you..."
The breeze blew, and I didn't expect that behind the veil was a beautiful smiling face.
"Haven't seen you for so many years, have you forgotten your old friend?"
