Chapter 164 The Strange Stone Thief
In the middle of the night, Zhu Wu invited him to the rooftop.
She activated the Concealing Breath and Wind Movement Technique, hiding herself silently.
If the Pei family had a Golden Core cultivator in charge, even if they couldn't figure out her background, they wouldn't have allowed her to hang Young Master Pei on the bridge for half an hour.
He has reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment.
Although I can't win, I can use stealth to scout around and avoid making any rash moves, which will keep me safe.
Therefore, Zhu Wuyao dared not rashly release his divine sense.
When using the Concealed Breath and Wind-Riding Technique to escape, the spiritual energy consumed is not much. She quietly sneaks into the shadows, like the wind passing by, leaving no trace.
Upon entering the room, where candlelight flickered, several figures appeared to be conversing.
Unfortunately, a barrier was set up, so we couldn't hear anything.
Sure enough, there were cultivators.
What a hassle.
Zhu Wuyao frowned slightly, intending to retreat first and make further plans.
However, just as she was about to disappear into the wind, she suddenly stopped.
His gaze was fixed on the various oddly shaped rocks in the garden, which were used to create the landscape.
Her bladeless sword seemed to be momentarily drawn in.
This……
Zhu Wuyao looked at Yuanzi speechlessly, and immediately wanted to curse.
The Pei family is probably connected to some kind of mining line; the garden is filled with countless strange stones, and the Unsharp Sword is drawn to them—
Are they trying to make her a pangolin and start burrowing into the mountains?
Looking back at the room where they were still discussing matters, and then at the strange rocks filling the garden, Zhu Wuyao felt very conflicted.
To steal or not to steal—
This is definitely a multiple-choice question!
The Pei family has been committing crimes locally, weakening the enemy's forces to strengthen themselves; there is no need for hesitation in doing so.
The key question is, how should we steal it?
The bladeless sword was momentarily pulled, and now it remains completely still.
She couldn't tell which stone it was at all.
If they stole all the stones with the mentality of "better to steal the wrong one than let one go," even if the Pei family members were completely clueless, they would still be able to figure out who did it.
Today, she set up her fortune-telling stall arrogantly, not bothering to hide her appearance, and displayed herself to the public by the bridge for quite some time.
When the list is posted, and she's on it... she really didn't want to think about how Ye Xiaozhou would laugh.
That would be too embarrassing.
Zhu Wuyao has a lot of swear words he wants to say.
She must have been a law-abiding young woman in her past life. Even if she ended up in another world and had to do some dirty things, she should at least have some dignity left.
This is all due to a lack of ability...
If she has the ability, she should just openly and honestly rob it, rather than sneakily stealing it like a dog. That would be much more straightforward and honest.
People leave their mark as they pass by, geese leave their calls as they fly by; her reputation in the martial arts world is in jeopardy tonight.
I did some mental preparation.
Zhu Wuyao secretly resolved that if she ever gained power, she would openly and honestly seize the Pei family's power.
If the Pei family were still around then.
With that in mind, she began to work busily through the night, like a diligent little bee.
Zhu Wuyao was very careful in his stone-stealing operation.
Start by gathering the scattered stones in secluded, inconspicuous corners, keeping an eye on the figures and lights inside the house.
She believed that even if the Pei family cultivators came out now, they wouldn't notice the missing strange rocks in the garden for no reason.
The most important thing in doing this kind of thing is to do it unexpectedly.
Who would have thought that she, a cultivator, would sneak into the Pei residence, not doing her proper duties, but instead setting her sights on the stones in the garden?
Zhu Wuyao's movements were very gentle.
But as she picked them up, she suddenly realized something.
Storage bag space is limited!
She stood there, stunned, looking down at the strange stone in her hand that was the size of a human head, and then at the stone sculpture in the middle of the garden that was nearly two people tall.
After a moment's hesitation, Zhu Wuyao gave up the largest pieces.
Although they may appear to be more valuable, they are all equal before the bladeless sword, and are not distinguished by size or worth.
The space of one large rock can hold ten small rocks.
Which probability is higher? Can't Zhu Wuyao figure it out?
She picked up the stones faster while secretly grumbling to herself.
If Ye Xiaozhou or Tang Xin were in this situation, they would have an easier time than her. The former might be able to figure it out directly, and the latter could guess correctly.
only myself.
We must rely on our own hands to get rich.
They dared not act rashly with their spiritual power.
With a wealth of mental activity, Zhu Wuyao finally survived the agonizing night of collecting stones and filled his storage bag to the brim.
She straightened up, looked at the somewhat overgrown garden, and felt quite capable...
At this speed, if used for rice planting, one person could match the speed of an entire village.
The Concealing Breath and Wind Movement Technique is indeed very useful.
She has a deep understanding of "gathering breath," but not enough understanding of "wind movement."
In other words, they are good at hiding, but not good at running away.
They came without a sound, and they left without a sound.
Zhu Wuyao waved his storage bag and took away all the stones in the garden.
They left the town overnight, traveled a long way, and found a desolate mountain.
She flew around the mountain several times on her sword, scouted the area, found a decent spot, and summoned her bladeless sword.
Before long, a relatively spacious cave was completed.
Sweeping away the traces, Zhu Wuyao took out three array flags and set them up around the cave. The protective array was activated, and the cave entrance rippled slightly like water for a moment before disappearing without a trace and blending into the forest, leaving no trace.
This illusion array was a prize from the Tuozhige auction.
Most of Zhu Wuyao's spirit stones were used up directly.
Not only can it conceal its form, but it also has a certain protective function, capable of blocking half an attack from a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
Although its protective function is indeed somewhat lacking, it is certainly cheap.
Zhu Wuyao felt that if the enemy found his hiding place, it wouldn't make much difference whether it could hold out for half a quarter of an hour or an hour.
They all ended up being caught in a trap.
He placed the blunt sword horizontally in front of him, preparing to acknowledge his relatives.
Zhu Wuyao took out a strange stone from his storage bag and placed it on top of it.
The sword remained unmoved, showing no reaction whatsoever.
After thinking for a moment, she activated her Qigong to explore its material.
After all, that Nanhuai mine was discovered using the Yue Sugong method.
There was still nothing unusual.
After a moment's thought, Zhu Wuyao came up with the idea of "gambling on stones".
A stone that has not been cut has not experienced a complete life cycle.
She acted immediately, picked up the bladeless sword, infused it with spiritual power, and with a few swift strokes, shaved the stone into stone flakes.
Throw it behind you.
Next piece.
Each stone must go through three processes: being recognized by the Wufeng Sword, being examined by Yue Sugong, and being shaved into stone slabs.
There will be absolutely no stone that slips through the net.
And so, Zhu Wuyao toiled until dawn.
The pheasants outside the cave began to crow; the sun peeked out, its face half-hidden; early-rising insects were being eaten by birds; the morning dew reflected a blaze of light; and the little bird said:
"Hehehe, why are you angry so early?"
Zhu Wuyao stood in the cave. Due to the excessive slicing, her hands and feet were slightly numb. Her heart felt as cold as a fish that had been butchered for ten years.
Behind them were piles of stone slabs.
He had an empty storage bag hanging on his body.
Zhu Wuyao's aura was extremely low. Looking at the bladeless sword in her hand, she asked:
"Mute?"
