77: Being robbed by a Qi Refining Stage cultivator?

Wei Zhou stroked his Storage Ring, leaning against a large tree, and said with a joyful expression.

"This time, I really made a fortune! I earned nearly 3 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones just by coming out!"

After speaking, he took out several Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch and began to refine them to restore his depleted spiritual power!

He didn't set up any Formation, because this place was rarely visited, and it was impossible for anyone to be within a radius of ten thousand miles! Naturally, there was no need to set up a Formation!

Not long after, Wei Zhou slowly stood up, brushing off the fallen leaves from his shoulders, which immediately rustled down!

He looked up at the sky; it was already dusk, with the setting sun like blood!

Wei Zhou looked at the sunset and said,

"Has the sun already set? Then I'll set off for Shanhe Town tomorrow!"

After speaking, Wei Zhou controlled his Magic Treasure, casually cut down a few trees, and cut them into wooden planks!

He easily assembled them into a small wooden house!

Immediately, he opened the wooden door and stepped inside!

A fresh scent of wood flowed into his nostrils with the air!

Wei Zhou narrowed his eyes, saying with great enjoyment,

"The fresh scent of wood!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out a futon and a candle lamp from his storage space!

The futon was placed in the center of the room, and the candle lamp was placed on a makeshift wooden table!

Sitting on the futon, Wei Zhou, with a flip of his hand, produced four Formation Flags and a Formation Plate!

With a flick of his sleeve, the four Formation Flags landed in the east, south, west, and north directions!

Immediately after, he infused hundreds of Low-Grade Spirit Stones into the Formation Plate in his hand!

He then placed the Formation Plate beside the futon, took out thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Pouch, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged!

He activated his Cultivation Technique and began to refine this pile of Spirit Stones!

Now that he had achieved a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, his efficiency in refining Spirit Stones had greatly increased; he could transform thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones into his own strength in a single night!

After Cultivating for two hours, Wei Zhou opened his eyes, a hint of verdant vitality flashing within them!

Then he stroked his chin and muttered to himself,

"I'm not far from the Golden Core Stage! It seems I need to start looking for Materials to refine a third-grade Magic Treasure in advance!"

After speaking, Wei Zhou closed his eyes, activated his Cultivation Technique, and continued to Cultivate!

Inside the room, silence fell once more! Only the faint candlelight reflected Wei Zhou's figure!

The next morning,

A ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the wooden house onto Wei Zhou's face!

Wei Zhou suddenly opened his eyes, a verdant vitality flashing within them, and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, saying,

"It's already morning! Cultivating makes one lose track of time!"

Finally, he couldn't help but sigh!

Then he stood up and put the futon from under his bottom back into his Storage Ring!

He walked to the wooden table and put the candle lamp back into his Storage Ring!

Stepping out of the wooden house, he looked back at the wooden house that had automatically accompanied him for the night!

With a flick of his sleeve, the wooden house slowly collapsed, finally turning into wisps of ash and dissipating into the world!

Then he checked again, making sure no traces were left behind!

He summoned his Magic Treasure and headed towards the nearest Shanhe Town!

This Shanhe Town was the closest town to his valley, but it was still tens of thousands of miles away!

Even if he flew at full speed, it would still take several hours to reach!

During these past few years of Cultivation, he would occasionally go out to gather information!

After flying several hundred miles, Wei Zhou keenly noticed two Qi Refinement Great Perfection auras lurking ahead, emitting faint bloody Qi!

They were indeed two Qi Refinement Stage Great Perfection rogue cultivators; from the bloody Qi around them, it could be judged that they had recently killed many people!

Wei Zhou quietly cast the Mixed Origin Breath Concealment Art, concealing his aura to the eighth or ninth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage!

He pretended to know nothing, flying over the two men on his Flying Sword as if nothing was amiss!

As his Flying Sword passed over the two men, two masked men in black suddenly darted out from below!

One masked man in black chuckled at the other masked man in black, saying,

"Hehehe! Big Brother, this time it's a fat sheep! Look at his attire, everything at a glance is of second-grade quality!"

The masked man in black, who was called Big Brother by the other masked man, said without joy or sorrow,

"Indeed, but for this person to possess a second-grade Magic Treasure at the eighth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage! He must have someone from a major power behind him!"

The masked man in black frowned upon hearing this, and tentatively asked,

"This kid actually has a major power as his backer, so Big Brother, should we rob him or not?"

The masked man in black who was called Big Brother slapped the masked man in black's head hard, speaking with a hint of disappointment,

"You idiot! Can't you just kill this kid, take his treasures, and then run away! The nearest large swamp from here will take me a thousand miles to reach! What's more, this place is almost uninhabited!"

"If you and I, brothers, clean up cleanly, and then flee thousands or tens of thousands of miles away, how can those people still catch us!"

"Those people" naturally referred to the people from the major power whom the masked black-clothed brothers believed were behind Wei Zhou!

The masked man in black's eyes lit up upon hearing his Big Brother say this, and he repeatedly echoed,

"Big Brother still thinks things through!"

Wei Zhou stood in mid-air, his arms crossed, watching the masked black-clothed brothers who were talking to themselves with leisure!

The masked black-clothed brothers also sensed Wei Zhou's gaze! Two sharp gazes bore down on Wei Zhou!

Wei Zhou was not affected in the slightest, and even had the presence of mind to pull out a bag of melon seeds from his Storage Pouch!

The one among the masked black-clothed brothers called Big Brother took a step forward, arriving in front of Wei Zhou, and said sternly,

"Kid. Leave all your treasures, and commit suicide here! We, brothers, can grant you a complete corpse! Otherwise..."

Wei Zhou cracked a melon seed, tossing the shell onto the masked black-clothed Big Brother, and provocatively said,

"Otherwise what?"

The Big Brother among the black-clothed brothers snorted coldly when he saw Wei Zhou acting like this!

He unleashed his Qi Refinement Great Perfection aura without reservation!

"Hmph—!"

Just then, an urgent voice suddenly came from below!

"Big Brother, spare him!"

The remaining masked man in black flew forward, blocking his Big Brother with one hand, and patted his Big Brother's back, saying,

"Big Brother, don't kill him yet! I haven't had a good meal in a long time! This kid is fair-skinned and tender, just to my liking!"

After speaking, he even licked his tongue obscenely! His greedy gaze fixed on Wei Zhou!

The one among the masked men in black called Big Brother looked at his second brother, who was blocking him!

He covered his head with a slight sense of helplessness, and said resignedly,

"Alright, alright! Who told you to be my second brother!"

After speaking, the Big Brother among the masked men in black took a step back!
