The skinny monkey looked wronged, unable to comprehend why his boss was scolding him when he had clearly brought a fat sheep.
He was about to speak.
The bald boss, quick as a flash, slapped him away and then directly knelt before Xu Chuan.
"Gr-great… great adult, my subordinate was ignorant and offended you. I hope you can forgive us!"
The bald boss was panicking at this moment, his speech starting to stutter.
At this point, the skinny monkey also finally realized he had kicked an iron plate. Even his boss dared not offend this person.
He rolled his eyes and decided to play dead on the ground.
"Oh? Is that so? He just took twenty yuan stones from me!"
Xu Chuan looked at the bald boss with a half-smile and spoke.
Upon hearing this, the bald boss cursed the ancestors of the skinny monkey’s entire family for eighteen generations.
He hurriedly took out his storage bag and, holding it above his head with both hands, offered it to Xu Chuan.
"Adult, do you think this is enough? If not, I'll go gather more..."
Xu Chuan took the storage bag and glanced at it casually. There were about four to five hundred low-grade yuan stones.
Only then did he nod with satisfaction and accept it.
"Get up. If there's a next time, you'd better pray for a good reincarnation!"
The bald boss was so sensible that Xu Chuan felt a little embarrassed to act.
The strength of these people was trash. The strongest was this bald boss, with a cultivation of the fifth level of Body Tempering. The others were either ordinary people or at the first or second level of Body Tempering.
With such strength, Xu Chuan was too lazy to even make a move.
Moreover, Xu Chuan wanted to inquire about something from these people.
"Get up, I have a few questions for you. If your answers satisfy me, today's matter will be dropped. Otherwise, heh heh, you understand!"
Xu Chuan said slowly.
"Thank you, adult, thank you!"
"Feel free to ask. In Lin'an Prefecture, there's nothing I, Zhang Liang, don't know."
The bald boss quickly got up from the ground and said respectfully.
"Then tell me, what do you know about the Chen family in Lin'an Prefecture?"
Zhang Liang was stunned, not expecting Xu Chuan to ask about this.
However, he quickly reacted and said, "This Chen family is one of the top families in Lin'an Prefecture. They have an ancestor at the third level of the Divine Ability realm guarding them, and they have prospered for a long time. However, this ancestor is too old and probably doesn't have many days left. By then, the Chen family will be like meat on a chopping block, and everyone will want a bite."
"But a while ago, I heard they found some treasure outside that could extend life. The Chen family ancestor was overjoyed and directly designated the Chen family disciple who found the treasure as the next head of the Chen family."
Hearing this, a golden light flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes.
It had to be Spiritual Crystals.
Only Spiritual Crystals could allow someone with one foot in the grave to advance further and extend their lifespan.
"I must obtain it!"
Xu Chuan secretly resolved in his heart.
If he could obtain it, the God Slaying Blade could shed its rust and reveal its true form!
He might even be able to advance further with its help!
However, this Divine Ability realm ancestor was a bit troublesome.
"Oh, by the way, in two days, it will be the Chen family ancestor's five hundredth birthday. He will be hosting a banquet at his home for the major forces in Lin'an Prefecture."
Zhang Liang said to himself, revealing everything he knew.
"Hmm?"
Xu Chuan keenly felt that this was an opportunity.
He could sneak into the Chen family's treasury during their banquet and steal the Spiritual Crystal without anyone noticing.
Spiritual Crystals were items that could not be stored in a spatial ring because they constantly emanated spiritual energy, which would burst the ring.
Therefore, the Chen family ancestor would definitely place it in an absolutely secure location!
And the family treasury was undoubtedly the safest place.
As for why Xu Chuan wasn't worried that the Chen family ancestor had already absorbed the Spiritual Crystal?
Because in his current state, if he dared to absorb a Spiritual Crystal directly, he would only end up being overfed!
So it could only be placed aside to be absorbed slowly!
As long as Xu Chuan could find this place, he would definitely be able to obtain the Spiritual Crystal!
It was simply perfect!
Xu Chuan silently praised himself.
As long as he didn't confront the Chen family's Divine Ability realm ancestor, Xu Chuan was confident that few in the Mortal Transformation realm could defeat him.
Ever since he condensed the blade soul seed, he had become this confident!
Now he had to consider how to sneak into the Chen family treasury without anyone noticing.
At this moment, Xu Chuan regretted not thinking to find a technique related to concealment before leaving the Holy Land.
Now he had to find another way.
Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it.
"Alright, this matter is dropped. But remember, you are not allowed to say a single word of what you heard today, or else you can prepare to collect corpses!"
After speaking, Xu Chuan displayed his aura of the Mortal Transformation realm, intending to intimidate these people.
Sensing this aura, they were so frightened that they all knelt down.
Zhang Liang also inwardly shuddered.
Damn it, luckily I was smart enough, or I would have been ruined by the skinny monkey today!
After Xu Chuan dissipated his aura, Zhang Liang, with his subordinates and the skinny monkey who was still feigning death on the ground, fled in a panic.
He didn't want to stay here for another moment; Xu Chuan's pressure was too great.
Xu Chuan didn't bother with them and let them leave.
However, before they left, he used the system to check the bald boss's information.
He didn't know until he checked, and upon seeing it, he was pleasantly surprised.
[Name: Zhang Liang]
[Realm: Fifth level of Body Tempering]
[Talent: Very Common]
[Destiny: Discerning Opportunity (Blue)]
[Life Script: Passerby Script]
[Life Trajectory: In his youth, he witnessed a true disciple of the Taiyi Holy Land casually kill hundreds of people in a mountain stronghold and narrowly escaped death. From then on, he was traumatized and dared not be a mountain bandit again. He came to Lin'an Prefecture, gathered a group of followers, and made a living by collecting protection fees with his meager cultivation. Later, he obtained a fortuitous encounter and became a renowned womanizer, passing through countless flowers without a single petal clinging to him!]
[Fortuitous Encounter: Tomorrow at the hour of the snake, on the way to the city gate, he will pick up a jade talisman with the ability to deceive the heavens and conceal one's presence. With this jade talisman, he will eventually become the most famous womanizer in the Great Wei Dynasty!]
What the hell!
Zhang Liang's information was dazzling to Xu Chuan.
With his burly, bald appearance, he actually became a renowned womanizer in the end, could you believe it?
Xu Chuan found it impossible to associate him with a womanizer.
Perhaps it was just the initial impression.
Also, Xu Chuan finally understood why Zhang Liang knelt as soon as he saw him and offered no resistance. It turned out that in his youth, he had been so frightened by another true disciple that he developed a phobia.
Combined with his "Discerning Opportunity" destiny, he surrendered without any pressure.
And the most important thing was.
In Zhang Liang, he saw a way to sneak into the Chen family unnoticed!
It was the jade talisman with the ability to conceal one's presence that he found.
Even someone like Zhang Liang could become famous throughout the dynasty with this jade talisman and was never caught.
One could imagine how powerful this jade talisman was in terms of concealment.
As long as Xu Chuan obtained it, he could evade the Divine Ability realm ancestor and sneak into the Chen family treasury.
Now, Xu Chuan didn't even know how to describe his luck.
He was just casually looking, and unexpectedly found the very thing he needed most.
It was truly a case of "the more you look, the less you see, but a new vista opens up"!
Now, everything was ready except for the final push.
He just had to wait until tomorrow to get this jade talisman, and then he could sneak in during the Chen family banquet.
As for whether he would have any psychological burden about sneaking into the Chen family to steal the Spiritual Crystal?
Xu Chuan stated he had none at all.
Anyway, the Chen family had snatched it from someone else, so him taking it back was just redistributing wealth, robbing the rich to help the poor.
Robbing others of their riches to alleviate his own poverty!
This logic was flawless!
