Chapter 226 Travel Together
The county magistrate did not want to make matters worse, so he tried to use spirit stones to solve problems that could be solved with them.
As the prefect of Luofeng County, he relied on mining as his main economic industry, and the amount of spirit stones he controlled could be described as massive.
He didn't believe that a mere Taoist foundation-building period could be as wealthy as him? Now he knew that he had overestimated himself. He was not qualified to compare wealth with the eldest son of the Meng family.
It’s better to steal it yourself, it’s economical and affordable.
"Do you think the eldest son of the Meng family would be tempted if I offer him 10 million spirit stones?"
The two Jindan stage cultivators shook their heads hesitantly: "No."
"Okay, then my offer this time will be worth 10 million spirit stones." The county magistrate tried to raise his price.
On the roof, Lu Yang turned around and asked Meng Jingzhou: "Will you sell it for 10 million spirit stones?"
Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes and said, "I'm selling 500,000 spirit stones. Why the hell am I holding onto a sexual enhancement gadget?"
"Exercise willpower?"
"Go, go, go."
…
At the same time, the Mo family.
"Master, the ore shop downstairs reported that a group of people came to the shop during the day with a very unique Phoenix Blood Stone and asked if there were any similar Phoenix Blood Stones."
"From the description, it looks very much like the Phoenix Blood Stone we have been looking for."
"Oh? Is this what you mean?" The Mo family's patriarch's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he finally found this kind of Phoenix Blood Stone.
As the saying goes, businessmen should not fight with officials. Although the Mo family is rich and powerful, they are still not enough to deal with the county governor.
If I could get this Phoenix Blood Stone, I would have something on the county magistrate and I wouldn't be afraid of him anymore.
"I plan to steal the Phoenix Blood Stone tonight."
"Tonight? Let me ask you, who bought the Phoenix Blood Stone? What is his identity? What is his cultivation level? What would you do if the other party is in the Spiritualization Stage?"
The subordinate hesitated and could not answer. He realized that he was too anxious to show off in front of the master.
The head of the Mo family snorted coldly: "This matter cannot be taken lightly. Go and find out who got the Phoenix Blood Stone tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, I will steal it myself tomorrow night!"
"You're going to do it yourself?" The subordinate was speechless. Is this kind of thing worth the head of the family's involvement?
"Of course, this is evidence that can be used to capture the county magistrate. It's worth my personal effort." The head of the Mo family showed an excited smile.
It's time to switch to the offensive in the fight with the county governor.
…
"What's so different about this stone?" After returning to Li Haoran's home, Meng Jingzhou took out the Phoenix Blood Stone and studied it carefully, but couldn't find any problems.
"Senior Su, can you see the problem?"
Su Yiren shook her head: "I don't know much about Phoenix Blood Stone. Perhaps it takes a cultivator who is good at refining to know the difference of this Phoenix Blood Stone."
Everyone turned their eyes to Li Haoran.
Li Haoran's mouth twitched: "I think you guys overestimate me. It would be better if my master came instead."
"Fairy, can you see the problem?" Lu Yang asked the Immortal Fairy for help.
The Immortal Fairy frowned: "It smells of blood, and it's very fresh. I don't like it."
"Smell of blood? Very fresh?" Lu Yang had a bad guess.
Could it be that this Phoenix Blood Stone is a clue left behind by a deceased person?
"By the way, fairy, is there really a phoenix that passed away in Luofeng County?"
The Immortal Fairy nodded: "Yes, there is one, but it is not half-surrounding here like Li Haoran said, but under our feet."
The Immortal Fairy pointed downwards and said, "Below the entire Luofeng County, there is the corpse of a Phoenix in the Fusion Stage."
"What should we do?" Li Haoran asked. He didn't expect that when he went home to visit his relatives, he would attract the attention of the county magistrate and take action personally.
Luofeng County is a large county, and the county magistrate has the cultivation level of the Spirit Transformation Stage.
"Just catch him?" As the one with the highest cultivation level in the room, Su Yiren had the priority to speak. Her idea was simple: just catch the person with the problem.
Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "It's not good to act directly without evidence. We are out there representing the Daodao Sect and we cannot abuse the Daodao Sect's law enforcement power. Let's wait and see until the county governor comes to steal things tomorrow night. We will first record it with the photo ball and then ask Senior Su to take action and catch him red-handed!"
"By then he has to admit it, whether he wants to or not!"
"Okay." Su Yiren agreed.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Lu Yang reminded everyone: "Also, it's fine if we just know about this. Junior Brother Li, you don't want your parents to interfere in this matter, right?"
Li Haoran nodded, his tone somewhat helpless, and he didn't know what he was thinking of: "Based on my understanding of the two of them, it's best not to let them know about this."
"I'll keep it a secret from Yanyan too." Su Yiren said.
Li Haoran sighed: "Fortunately, Senior Su is here, otherwise I really don't know what to do tomorrow night."
Meng Jingzhou smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't we have Lu Yang? He is in the middle stage of foundation building, but he challenged the god transformation stage and won. With him here, why should we be afraid of the county governor?"
Originally, Su Yiren wanted to correct the way Li Haoran addressed her, but she was shocked by the information revealed by Meng Jingzhou.
The middle stage of foundation building defeated the stage of spirit transformation. What a genius this is.
Was it too much of a stretch to teach him the experience of forming a pill? "Get lost!" Lu Yang glared at Meng Jingzhou, knowing that he was taking revenge for the fact that he had just laughed at him.
Su Yiren was curious and kept asking about the details of the cross-level battle. The process of the cross-level battle was too embarrassing. Lu Yang refused to tell Su Yiren and used his eyes to warn Meng Jingzhou and Li Haoran not to tell anyone! In the daytime, everyone ate, drank and played as if nothing had happened last night.
Lu Yang took some time to inquire whether any cultivator had disappeared or died recently, and the answer he got was that none had.
The sun faded, night fell, and the darkness grew darker.
A figure blended into the night and sneaked into Li Haoran's home.
The county magistrate was fully prepared, wearing a nightgown and a mask. The clothes had the function of concealing his breath and whereabouts, his voice changed, and his spiritual power fluctuated, so that even his own wife could not recognize him.
"There shouldn't be any loopholes, right?" The county magistrate was a little nervous as it was the first time he had done something like this. However, when he thought that his action was worth 10 million spirit stones, he was no longer nervous.
He released his spiritual sense and found the Phoenix Blood Stone placed at the head of Meng Jingzhou's bed. Meng Jingzhou was sleeping soundly and was completely unaware of it.
Meng Jingzhou was helpless. He originally wanted to watch the show, but it would be unreasonable for him not to sleep here. He could only pretend to sleep and listen to Lu Yang's live voice broadcast.
“Found it!”
Just as the county magistrate was about to go deeper, he saw another figure climbing over the wall and entering. It was the head of the Mo family.
The head of the Mo family was dressed exactly like the county magistrate, hiding himself so well that no one could recognize him.
They were both stunned. They didn't expect to meet a colleague here. Is this place so popular?
No, I am the county magistrate and the head of the family. I am just a temporary thief.
