Chapter 682 – The Crowd of Robbers

Chapter 682 – The Hijackers
Sweeping through the mustard space in front of her, Xu Chuniang slightly raised her eyebrows, just ten or so middle-grade spirit crystals and dozens of lower-grade spirit crystals, this person is also a little too poor.

The other spirit materials are mostly grade 4 spirit materials, and there are only a few grade 5 spirit materials.

Against a questioning line of sight, the short and fat male cultivator carefully compensated with a smile.

“Fairy don’t think it’s too little, if we weren’t poor, we wouldn’t be risking our lives to do this business, and we also specialize in picking cultivators with low cultivation levels.”

Watching the spirit crystals and spirit materials within the mustard space being swept away, he only felt blood dripping from his heart, but didn’t dare to show any displeasure.

“Fairy, you’ve taken everything, can you let me off the hook?”

“What’s the hurry, the really good stuff hasn’t been taken yet.”

Xu Chuniang was calm and collected, her eyes glancing back and forth over him.

The short and chubby male cultivator was hairy from her eyes and pleaded, “Fairy Mingjian, I really don’t have any good stuff, you’ve seen the mustard space.”

“Those are worthless things, there aren’t many spirit crystals either, hand over your magic treasure.”

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, the short and fat male cultivator had to admit his fate and slowly took out a rope.

The rope was of the lower grade five, and it looked like it had been used for quite a few years and was very badly worn.

Xu Chuniang was skeptical that she could yank this rope off with a little force.

She glanced at the rope and didn’t bother to pick it up.

“Who are you fooling with a broken rope, where are the other magic weapons?”

The short and fat male cultivator hurriedly squeezed out a smile.

“Fairy don’t be angry, don’t I have no better magic weapon here?”

“Cut the crap, there should always be a native magic weapon, right? Are you going to fetch it yourself or am I going to come and get it in person?”

The short and fat male cultivator’s face changed, the color of hesitation appeared in his eyes, if the original life magic weapon was lost, his cultivation would be damaged with it, and in the future, if he wanted to find a suitable high level magic weapon, it would be difficult.

But thinking of the power of that sword just now, the fear of death finally overpowered the reluctance.

Can’t fight, can’t run away, he’d better be sensible.

The short and fat male cultivator endured the pain and took out a gourd, ruthlessly cutting the connection between the gourd and himself, handing it to Xu Chuniang.

Losing the life magic treasure that had been contained for many years, the aura on his body instantly became much more withered.

Xu Chuniang took the gourd and let out a soft “eek”.

Unexpectedly, this gourd was actually a Grade 5 top-grade, and because it had been nurtured for years, it was extremely full of spiritual energy.

“Fairy, this is the best magic treasure I have on me, the other magic treasures are the same as that rope just now, all of them are not up to par, I’m afraid that you can’t use them with such strength.”

Seemingly afraid of her disbelief, he took out two or three more magic weapons, indeed they were all of the lower grade five, looking half old and not new.

One of the flying swords had several openings, Xu Chuniang also had the exact same one in her hand, and it was the one that was uniformly issued to all the serving cultivators.

She accepted the gourd and swept over the pieces of magic weapons, knowing in her heart that he should be telling the truth.

The original life magic treasure was often the most valuable thing on a cultivator’s body.

The most valuable thing on his body was the gourd just now.

“Earlier when you robbed me, you claimed to only take my spirit crystals, in that case, I won’t take these items.”

The short and fat male cultivator’s face finally showed a bit of joy, “Many thanks, fairy, many thanks, fairy!”

Although these few magic weapons were worn out, he had already used them very smoothly, and reacquiring them would cost a considerable amount of spirit crystals again.

Right now he was penniless, so it was naturally better if he could keep them.

He hesitated a little and asked tentatively. “Fairy, seeing as you’ve been traveling all the way to the southwest, could it be that you’re going to serve?”

Xu Chuniang glanced at him with a wry smile, and the short, fat male cultivator was instantly jolted and hurriedly explained.

“Fairy don’t misunderstand, I’m not inquiring about your journey, this place is a long way from the southwest battlefield, and it’s not uncommon for cultivators like me to make a living by stopping and robbing.

If you encountered a cultivator of the Void Refining Stage, I’m afraid that even if your sword skills were powerful, they would still be useless against them ……”

Hearing this, Xu Chuniang’s brows furrowed slightly, she had never fought an opponent of the Void Refining Stage before, and if she really ran into one, she didn’t know what her chances of victory would be.

If she met a cultivator of the late Void Refining stage, she might not even have a chance to escape.

The short and fat male cultivator observed his words and made a timely suggestion.

“There are merchant caravans in many cities, and these caravans will transport goods to various battlefields every once in a while, if the fairy can follow the caravans on their travels, the safety will be greatly increased.”

Xu Chuniang pondered, when she was in Qu City, she had also seen a merchant caravan, only that she hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.

Come to think of it, the Spirit World was filled with high-ranking cultivators, and the higher their cultivation level, the easier it was to plunder others.

If she was unlucky and encountered a powerful Void Refining Stage cultivator, she might have died.

“I will seriously consider what you said, thanks a lot.”

Three days later, Xu Chuniang entered a city slightly larger than Qu City, and after asking where the merchant caravan was, she walked towards the direction of the caravan.

Following the short and fat male cultivator, she had indeed encountered another robber.

The aura on that person’s body was even deeper than that of the Evil Eye Beast, and in all likelihood, he was a Void Refining Stage cultivator.

He had set up his Dharma Domain near a Grade 5 Spirit Grass, and was himself lurking on the side, so that once someone went to pick the Spirit Grass, they would mistakenly enter the Domain.

After realizing that there was a rank five spirit grass hidden in a remote corner, Xu Chuniang was originally prepared to pick it as well, but as she approached, she discovered traces of the domain left behind in the surrounding area.

After realizing that this was a trap, Xu Chunniang chose to run away on the spur of the moment.

The person lurking in the shadows saw her flee, and immediately revealed his form and chased after her.

Relying on instantaneous transfer and the Nine Steps of Prosperity, she fled non-stop for two days and two nights, and in the end, it was only because the person chasing her gave up voluntarily that Xu Chuniang was able to escape this fate.

She suspected that the person behind her had gotten tired of chasing her and felt that there was nothing good on her, a cultivator at the early stage of Spirit Transformation, so she gave up.

It was also possible that someone else had stepped into the legal domain he had laid out, which had led him to leave.

But no matter what the reason was, Xu Chuniang, who had dodged a bullet, no longer had any luck in her heart.

For a small cultivator like her, who had just transformed into a god not long ago, the Spirit Realm was indeed too dangerous.

If she didn’t follow the merchant caravan along, relying on her strength alone, she really might not be able to reach the Southwest Battlefield successfully.

After arriving at the merchant caravan and explaining her intentions, someone soon invited her into the elegant room.

In the elegant room, the one who received her was a middle-aged female cultivator.

She smiled faintly and served a cup of tea.

“I heard that the fairy wants to travel with the merchant caravan, I wonder where the fairy’s destination is?”

“Crane City.”

Crane City was the closest small city to the Southwest Battlefield, and it was also the farthest place the caravan could reach.

The middle-aged female cultivator showed a look of understanding in her eyes; most of the cultivators who went to Crane City were there to serve in the military.

“Five days from now, a team led by a late stage Harmonization powerhouse will depart for Crane City.”
