CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 103: JUST THE SOUL BREATH IMMORTAL GRASS, I’LL HELP YOU STEAL IT (6K)_4

Li Shitao looked at the wedding agreement on the bed and thought for a moment before saying, "Since you consider me a close friend, it’s only right for me to help you come up with ideas. But first, I need to know the story between you two."

Xiao Cancan nodded, collected her thoughts, and said, "It all started when my father was first transferred to Lingyun Mansion. After the old Mansion Master passed away, the royal capital sent my father to take over as the new Mansion Master..."

The gentle moonlight filtered through the window lattice, casting a soft glow inside the room. On the spacious, ornately carved bed, a beautiful woman with a lingering charm and a pure-hearted girl chatted softly, often bursting into laughter.

However, outside in various buildings and trees, shadows lurked in the darkness, their eyes scanning the surroundings like hawks, ready to investigate any unusual movement immediately...

The following evening, the two finally saw Zhang Wanbao and Fu Kui again after a tense wait.

Zhang Wanbao wore a smug expression, as though he had just won a great battle, striding in with an air of superiority.

"Look at this, what do you think it is?" he said, pulling out a long jade box directly from his Storage Bag. Inside, a complete Soul Breath Immortal Grass was sealed.

Their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly took it from him.

After confirming it was genuine, they excitedly bowed to Zhang Wanbao and Fu Kui.

Fu Kui said, "You should thank Wanbao here. He spent the whole night pestering the president, even resorting to making a scene, to get it at the lowest price. Originally, it was worth five Top-Grade Spirit Stones, but he got it down to four for you."

"Additionally, the piece of Chaos Profound Gold you gave me was appraised by a professional team and valued at seven Top-Grade Spirit Stones. After his bargaining, it ended up at eight, so here are the four Top-Grade Spirit Stones as the difference."

Fu Kui immediately handed over four Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

These were four ordinary Top-Grade Spirit Stones, containing extremely high Spiritual Power with almost no impurities.

You must understand, in any sect, Top-Grade Spirit Stones are strategic resources used for fast recovery or activating final trump cards.

Better than Top-Grade Spirit Stones are the Five Elements Spirit Stones and other rarer stones.

Like Thunder Spirit Stones, Wind Spirit Stones, and so on.

Before, Uncle Er eventually gave Zhou Qing a water-attribute stone from the Five Elements Spirit Stones to thank him for bringing him out of the Pocket World.

The Spiritual Power was gentler, making it calming to absorb.

"Thank you, senior, and thank you, Wanbao!"

They expressed their gratitude, realizing they had unexpectedly gained two more Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

Zhang Wanbao swaggered, "What’s there to thank? We’re brothers."

"The auction starts tomorrow; I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now," said Fu Kui.

The two hurriedly saw him off.

"It feels just like a dream!" Yan Xiaohu said, eyes shining as he looked at the four Top-Grade Spirit Stones in his hand.

The mission to Lingyun Mansion was completed in just two days, with considerable gains.

The Nascent Soul Formation Pills now numbered two, they had four more Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and they had obtained a Soul Breath Immortal Grass.

Most importantly, they gained the acquaintance of a wealthy second-generation heir.

"Each of us gets one Nascent Soul Formation Pill, and we split the Spirit Stones, two for each," said Yan Xiaohu.

Zhou Qing happily accepted them.

Impressed, Qian Dafu watched enviously, but no one noticed the flash of greed behind his smiling face.

"Brothers, since you’re done with your tasks, is it my turn next?" asked Zhang Wanbao.

Smiling, Zhou Qing said, "Don’t worry, we’ll solve your problem. Your task is to stay busy."

"Stay busy?" Zhang Wanbao mused.

Zhou Qing said, "The auction starts tomorrow, and presumably, Xiao Cancan will attend. But even if she doesn’t, just do your part. Here’s what you can do..."
