“Huh? Mr. Chen, you are not being honest here. Why didn’t you tell me after you settled the matter?” asked Gu Congwen, taken aback.
“I got to know it today as well! Why? Couldn’t let go of your Lucidity Weed?”
“About this… Why wouldn’t I be able to let go of my Lucidity Weed? Seven days ago, you have just helped me earn millions of low-grade Spiritual Stones! In order to show my gratitude to you, I should in fact be giving you the Lucidity Weed!”
“Great! I like what you did! Don’t worry, I will make sure that I take good care of you in the future!” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile while keeping away the wooden box.
“Oh right! Mr. Chen, there is something I want to tell you as well!”
“I heard that there’s an Overgrown Forest Secret Treasury at the Overgrown Forest Planet. That’s the place where the Elite Hunt is going to happen! And I even heard that the Lu Family has managed to get their hands on the treasure map! They are going to make use of the Elite Hunting Competition to look for the treasure!”
“Treasure? Lu Changwei has been chosen to participate in this competition! There’s a weird key inside his Storage Bracelet! I wonder if it’s the key to unlock the door to those treasures?”
“Mr. Chen. What are you thinking?”
“I’m thinking if I would get the chance to locate the treasure!”
“I’m afraid this is close to impossible. The Lu Family is the only one that can find out about the treasury and they possess the one and only treasure map. Judging from the conflict that you have had with their family, I’m afraid they will never bring you along with them!”
“I will figure out something if the treasury is worth the effort!”
“Of course! There were Greenwood nobles staying in Overgrown Forest Planet 500 years ago. They used to be the most powerful tribe in Northern Wilderness Starfield! They had all the resources that you can imagine in this world. However, a massive beast horde trampled over them one day and their entire tribe went extinct! Before they were all killed, the survivors managed to hide all their resources inside a hidden vault! They were planning to flee the planet first and come back later to look for them. Unfortunately, none of the survivors managed to flee the planet. Every single one of them were killed by the beast horde mercilessly. As you can imagine, all the treasuries and resources that they left inside the vault are still intact! Those who can unlock the treasure vault will get to inherit everything that they left behind!”
All these things Gu Congwen had just told Chen Xiaobei had spread to every corner to Silver Plume City throughout these six days.
“I understand now. It seems like I will have to do my best on this matter!”
“Do you best? What are you planning to do?”
“Don’t you worry about that. Take good care of your shop for now. I will tell you everything when I come back from the Overgrown Forest Planet!
Chen Xiaobei then left the Chamber of Commerce.
“About this…”
Gu Congwen frowned. He felt like something bad was going to happen to Chen Xiaobei. Before he could say anything about it, Chen Xiaobei was long gone.
……
Back at Chen Xiaobei’s safe place.
The first thing he did was pour hundred types of herbs and 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones inside the Green Jade Cauldron. Due to the powerful effect, he needed 1,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones to make one Heavenly Dog Biscuit. Now that he had just spent 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones on making it and 49,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones to complete the Head Penetrating Seven Arrows, he was left with 3,517,600 low-grade Spiritual Stones. That meant he could still spend it however he liked at the Elite Hunting Competition.
“There are three days left before the Elite Hunting Competition. I have to head to Lu Family to steal their treasure map tonight!”
Chen Xiaobei then absorbed 16,000 Spiritual Stones into his Witch Dragon Blood. He had clearly prepared to fight a tough battle tonight. He predicted that he was going to use the Witch Dragon Transformation Skill more than once later. So, he had decided that he was going to take in more Spiritual Stones in case he failed to do so later.
Lastly, Chen Xiaobei poured in 60,000 Spiritual Stones into the Blood God Deity Killing painting. He would need to spend 30,000 Spiritual Stones on everything that he used on the painting. Putting in 60,000 Spiritual Stones would mean he could use it two times later.
In total, he had spent 76,000 Spiritual Stones and he was left with 3.5 million Spiritual Stones.
“All done! Time to go!”
Before Chen Xiaobei left his safe place, he thought of something all of a sudden. He then went and looked for Old Wang, and placed the Grass Puppet that had just completed its ritual into his Infinite Space Ring.
……
At Silver Plume Inner City.
Inside Lu Mansion.
Chen Xiaobei managed to sneak into the mansion without being detected by anyone. He then started to look for the treasure map. To his surprise, he saw a room with its lights on the moment he entered the mansion. All the doors and windows of the room were wide open. As he sneaked in closer, Chen Xiaobei saw that Lu Changwei was studying the map with a couple of youngsters.
“Is that the treasure map? This is such a valuable item! I don’t believe that they will reveal it at an open place like this! Something fishy is going on!”
Instead of going into the room, Chen Xiaobei chose to eavesdrop on them first.
“This is the sixth day. I don’t think the assassin will come here! I failed to capture the assassin and I lost the key to the treasure vault as well! My dad is going to kill me this time… I’m doomed…”
“This is not possible… How can the assassin resist the temptation of snatching this treasure map?! This is supposed to be a perfect plan!” said Zhu Dachang, frowning.
In actual fact, his plan was really perfect and it did manage to draw out the assassin. Unfortunately, the assassin they were up against this time was Chen Xiaobei with the Nightstalker Outfit, and he was standing right in front of them. Finally, Chen Xiaobei got to know that the key was real, but the treasure map was a fake! This was a conspiracy!
“It seems like I can avoid the battle tonight!” said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
Just when he wanted to leave the mansion, he saw that there was a crack that appeared in the space. Two people walked out from it right in front of his eyes.
“I have never doubted that my curse would ever fail to work! And we need to come to this planet to deal with that bastard personally!” said the short one.
“Chen Xiaobei! Come out right now!” shouted the tall one angrily.
