270: Chapter 270 Two Hundred Million

"Two... two hundred million?!" Wang Cheng's eyes were filled with shock.

He had not expected that there would be so many Spirit Stones within the Yao Race's treasury.

"Senior Sister, aren't you afraid of these Spirit Stones being stolen if they're just left here?" Wang Cheng hurriedly asked.

Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Shen Bing couldn't help but laugh out loud, her laughter hearty and proud.

After a moment, Shen Bing said with a hint of disdain, "Stolen? Wang Cheng, you underestimate the methods of our Yao Race!"

"Outside this treasury, multiple High Grade defensive Great Arrays have been laid down, including Concealment Arrays, Killing Arrays, and Illusion Arrays, stacked layer upon layer. Even a Cultivator at the Late Stage of Core Formation would find it difficult to break through the Great Array's defenses."

"In addition, dozens of experts at the Late Stage or even Perfection of Foundation Establishment guard the perimeter in shifts, day and night without rest. Let alone stealing a single Spirit Stone, even a fly wouldn't dream of flying out of here easily!"

Hearing this, Wang Cheng nodded repeatedly, "I see! Senior Sister has indeed thought of everything. With so many Great Arrays and experts guarding it, it is indeed foolproof!"

Shen Bing gave him a faint glance and said flatly, "Alright, don't waste time. Let's go and collect ten million Spirit Stones."

"Yes, Senior Sister!" Wang Cheng hurriedly composed himself and responded respectfully. The excitement in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by solemnity and seriousness.

Shen Bing said no more and turned to walk toward the depths of the treasury, intending to find several large Storage Pouches to take the Spirit Stones.

Far away in his small courtyard at the Heavenly Sword Sect, Qin Changsheng also heard the conversation between Shen Bing and Wang Cheng.

When he heard the words "two hundred million Spirit Stones," Qin Changsheng abruptly opened his eyes, a sharp glint of light flashing within them.

He was just worrying about where to obtain the Spirit Stones to Repair that damaged Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact.

Repairing a Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact was extremely difficult and required a staggering number of Spirit Stones. Even though his accumulation over the years was quite substantial, the Spirit Stones in his hands were far from enough to support the required Repairs.

Originally, he had planned to go to a Spirit Stone Mine to dig for some more after the Azure Cloud Sect auction, but he hadn't expected the Yao Race to be hiding such a massive fortune. It was truly a gift in his time of need.

"If I can steal these Spirit Stones, it will not only be enough to Repair the Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact, but the remaining Spirit Stones can also be used to compete for the golden marrow ganoderma, the purple-gold key, and other treasures at the auction. It could even support my subsequent push for the Core Formation Realm. It truly kills multiple birds with one stone."

As for the multiple defensive Great Arrays and the dozens of experts guarding the treasury, Qin Changsheng didn't give them a second thought.

Because he possessed the Golden Trait: Teleportation.

He only needed to place one final Teleportation Stone inside the treasury.

Then he would be able to come here via Teleportation.

And then, using his Storage Space, he could silently steal these two hundred million Spirit Stones.

Even Shen Guhong and those other Yao Race powerhouses would find it impossible to discover.

Much less would they know that it was Qin Changsheng who stole them.

Thinking of this, Qin Changsheng issued an order to his External Incarnation, Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng glanced at Shen Bing as she entered the Inner Treasury and hurriedly took out a white stone from his person, which was covered in complex runes.

This was a Teleportation Stone.

As long as the Teleportation Stone was set, Qin Changsheng could easily come here.

With a light wave of his hand, Wang Cheng sent the Teleportation Stone sinking into the pile of Spirit Stones.

Qin Changsheng planned to wait a few days before teleporting into the Spirit Stone treasury to take all those Spirit Stones away.

After all, if the Spirit Stones in the treasury went missing the moment Wang Cheng left,

Wang Cheng would definitely be suspected by Shen Guhong.

After ten or so days, there would no longer be such a concern.

Furthermore, in ten days, Shen Bing and Wang Cheng would have already taken the Spirit Stones to the Azure Cloud Sect auction. The Yao Race's attention would be focused on the auction, leaving them no time to attend to the movements in the treasury.

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Bing had packed ten million Spirit Stones into several large Storage Pouches.

"Let's go. We're heading to the Azure Cloud Sect tonight!" After Shen Bing finished speaking, she walked toward the treasury doors.

Wang Cheng hurriedly followed behind Shen Bing.

Shen Bing didn't stop to check any part of the treasury at all.

In her view, there was simply no need.

The treasury was protected by multiple High Grade defensive Great Arrays—concealment, killing, and Illusion Arrays stacked together. Even a Late Stage Core Formation Cultivator would find it hard to break through;

outside, dozens of Yao Race experts from Late Stage to Perfection Foundation Establishment stood guard day and night. Let alone stealing Spirit Stones, even a fly wouldn't easily fly a single step into the treasury.

Soon, Shen Bing and Wang Cheng arrived before the treasury doors.

"Close the treasury!" Shen Bing commanded softly.

"As you command!" Seeing this, the two Yao Race experts guarding the door hurriedly bowed, formed hand seals, and slowly closed the heavy Profound Iron Doors.

...

Ten days later.

Qin Changsheng turned his gaze toward the Flowing Fire Sect.

Hu Nan had just sent back a message to Qin Changsheng.

The Flowing Fire Sect Leader, Shen Guhong, was currently in the Main Sect Hall discussing important matters with many Elders.

Meanwhile, Shen Bing and the others had already headed to the Azure Cloud Sect to attend the auction.

Qin Changsheng knew that the time to steal the Yao Race's Spirit Stones had arrived.

If he stole all these Spirit Stones, then all the Spirit Stones the Yao Race had plundered over the years would become his.

At the same time, it would disrupt many of the Yao Race's plans.

With a thought, Qin Changsheng summoned his Golden Trait: Teleportation.

In the next instant, space warped, light and shadow shifted, and a slight spatial vibration echoed in his ears. When he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared inside the Yao Race treasury.

The white light was brilliant, and the Spiritual Qi was so dense it almost overwhelmed him. Two hundred million Spirit Stones were piled like mountains, from Low Grade to High Grade, stacked layer upon layer, filling the entire treasury. The dazzling light illuminated Qin Changsheng's face.

Looking at the massive quantity of Spirit Stones before him, Qin Changsheng's eyes were full of joy.

With these Spirit Stones, the Heaven-Grade Magical Artifact from the Azure Cloud Sect auction could also be easily repaired.

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his wild joy. With a light wave of his hand, a Spirit Stone appeared in his palm.

As Qin Changsheng chanted an incantation, Hu Nan's figure appeared nearby.

"Collect these Spirit Stones quickly!" Qin Changsheng ordered.

"As you command!" Hu Nan's figure blurred as he quickly moved to the Spirit Stone racks to collect them.

Qin Changsheng raised his hand and waved, fully opening his Storage Space. Strands of spiritual power transformed into invisible giant hands, continuously sucking the mountain-like piles of Spirit Stones into the Storage Space. Low-Grade Spirit Stones and High-Grade Spirit Stones, stacked high, rapidly diminished.

The two had a clear division of labor and moved with lightning Speed. The piles of Spirit Stones in the treasury decreased at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In the silent treasury, only the faint sound of Spirit Stones being sucked into the Storage Space remained. Neither dared to delay for a moment, racing against time to harvest this massive fortune.

While collecting the Spirit Stones, Qin Changsheng also kept an eye on the movements outside the treasury. His Divine Sense spread out, staying alert for any patrolling Yao Race Cultivators to ensure they wouldn't be exposed prematurely.

Time trickled by, and fifteen minutes passed in a flash.

More than half of the Spirit Stones in the treasury had already been collected, leaving only some in the Inner Treasury.

Qin Changsheng raised his hand and pulled, sucking a lustrous High-Grade Spirit Stone from a corner into his Storage Space.

At that moment, a low "thrumming" boom suddenly rang out. The entire treasury shook violently, and a dazzling golden light erupted from the depths of the treasury. It pierced through the Profound Iron Doors and the defensive Great Array, shooting straight into the clouds, illuminating the entire Flowing Fire Sect outpost as if it were day, even dyeing the night sky gold.

Simultaneously, within the Liuhuo Hall, Shen Guhong's furious voice boomed out. Carrying a mountain-like Pressure and sky-toppling rage, it resounded through the entire Flowing Fire Sect: "Who is it? Who dares to come to my Flowing Fire Sect's treasury to steal things!"

Hearing this voice, Qin Changsheng understood that he had accidentally tripped a Restriction inside the treasury while collecting the Spirit Stones.

However, Qin Changsheng did not panic at all.

Because he possessed the Golden Trait: Teleportation.

He was fully capable of finishing the collection of all these Spirit Stones before Shen Guhong arrived.

Qin Changsheng took a deep breath and quickly collected the Spirit Stones in the Inner Treasury.

Hu Nan followed Qin Changsheng's lead, rapidly gathering the stones.

In the next instant, Shen Guhong's roars and hurried footsteps drew closer and closer. The Pressure also grew stronger, as he was clearly racing toward the treasury.
