Poor-Eyed Wu Guodong

Is Qi Zixiao stupid?

No, she was exceptionally intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become Saintess.

Although she often appears as a goofy and silly person on Earth, that's because she doesn't understand Earth and various technologies.

At the same time, she had been cultivating in the holy land since childhood, and was not good at interpersonal relationships and such.

But that doesn't mean she's stupid!

At least, after watching some TV dramas, she felt that she had learned a lot.

For example, at this moment, they have used a trick to sow discord.

Wang Lao Er was initially puzzled. He had clearly done things so discreetly and had cleaned up all the evidence. Otherwise, how could it have been discovered only now?

But here's the problem: three years have passed, so why couldn't it be detected three years ago, but only now? This just doesn't make sense!

Three years have passed; even if I had left any evidence, it should all be gone by now.

I'm completely baffled!

I thought I had overlooked something, but now that Qi Zixiao has said it, I understand.

Could it be... that those guys betrayed them?!

Yes or no?

He felt it was unlikely, but not impossible.

But if I expose them, I can get myself a life sentence... This...

How to choose?

It seems that, in fact, they were the ones who broke their promise first. Didn't they agree beforehand to keep me safe?

But now they've found out about me!!!

Wang Lao Er remained silent, but his mind was racing.

If you can live, who wants to die?

Although it's difficult to get out of a life sentence, and even if you do get out, you'll be close to your grave, it's still better than eating peanuts that have gone cold, right?

Wang Lao Er was tempted...

Seeing his expression, Qi Zixiao smiled subtly.

Success!

When we looked at Wu Guodong again, according to the Qi Observation Technique, his official career was going smoothly, with no more unpredictable changes or the possibility of bad luck. It seemed like he was about to rise to the top!

However, Qi Zixiao also realized that the 'money transaction' between her and Wu Guodong would not happen for a short period of time.

This made her feel somewhat wistful.

But as long as I can get that million... it's not bad, right?

She looked at Wu Guodong and winked at him.

What should we do now?

Wu Guodong understood. "I'll contact the local police to come and seal off this place. Who knows, we might be able to find out more information."

"Keep an eye on him, I'll find a car and take him back."

Wu Guodong was naturally very confident in Lin Fan's fighting ability. Even if Wang Lao Er wasn't handcuffed, he was still a force to be reckoned with!

"OK."

Wang Lao Er is still contemplating life.

As Qi Zixiao watched him, she played with the raw stones, curious about the prices on the shelf.

"These stones, worth hundreds of thousands each?!"

Wang Lao Er ignored her and continued to contemplate life.

Then, he suddenly realized what was happening and his whole body went ballistic.

"You fucking scammed me???"

He finally realized what was happening, but it was too late.

He gritted his teeth in fury, filled with extreme regret.

Qi Zixiao ignored Wang Lao Er: "..."

You've already confessed, so there's no use in realizing it now.

She was just thinking that all the hard work we put into Setting Up an Altar and Performing Rituals, and chasing the culprits across thousands of miles, was only worth one million, and we hadn't even gotten our hands on it yet. These stones alone were worth hundreds of thousands each.

Why is it worth so much?

She wandered around the store, picked up a rough stone priced at two million, and was about to examine it closely to see why it was so valuable when her expression suddenly changed.

"This feeling..."

"Spirit Stone?!"

Qi Zixiao was deeply shocked.

What did she sense?!

Spiritual energy!

This raw stone actually exudes spiritual energy, just like Spirit Stone...

"Wrong!"

After a brief moment of shock, Qi Zixiao realized. "This is not Spirit Stone. The spiritual energy of Spirit Stone will not dissipate on its own, and the concentration is too poor and too thin. It is far inferior to even the lowest quality Spirit Stone."

"But it does indeed possess a trace of spiritual energy..."

"What exactly is this?"

"A degenerate Spirit Stone? Pseudo Spiritual Stone?"

Why isn't it possible for it to evolve into Spirit Stone?

It's very simple. If it's to evolve into Spirit Stone, it won't dissipate spiritual energy; instead, it will absorb it!

But regardless, for Qi Zixiao, this was a tremendous discovery and gain!

There is spiritual energy on Earth too!!!

Although it's hidden inside some incredibly expensive stones.

So, if I could get more of these stones, wouldn't I be able to actually try cultivation instead of just physical training?

We have to get our hands on this stone!

This was Qi Zixiao's first reaction.

The world of cultivation is inherently cruel. Even though Qi Zixiao had been in the Holy Land for a long time, he had heard more than once about the importance of cultivation resources...

Even so-called righteous sects will often resort to ambush and kill on the way for cultivation techniques, Spirit Stone, treasures, etc.

This is the cruelty of the cultivation world.

After all, cultivating immortality is defying the heavens, so who cares about so many rules and regulations?

Currently, this is the only thing Qi Zixiao knows that can truly enable Lin Fan's body to cultivate, so naturally she wants to get her hands on it.

even...

She was still having a headache. Lin Fan used his body to earn things worth over ten million Spirit Stone, but she only earned a little over one million for him.

It's clear from any angle that I've lost!

But what if I could help that guy actually start cultivating immortality?!

Wouldn't that allow us to turn the tide?

Thinking of this, her eyes darted around, and then she had an idea. Next, she touched all the stones in the shop.

As it turned out, she actually discovered several raw stones with a faint spiritual energy emanating from them.

Wang Lao Er, who was questioning his existence, noticed her behavior but ignored it...

A dozen minutes later, Wu Guodong returned.

"The car is ready, and our colleagues here will be here soon. Once they arrive and seal off this place, we'll leave."

"Seizure?"

Qi Zixiao's eyes darted around, and she whispered, "What about these things?"

She pointed to many primitive things.

"After the seizure, we'll investigate for any leads. If not... these items are usually confiscated locally and then auctioned off to supplement local finances?"

"Local government funds? How about you give me a few dollars?"

"You like it?" Wu Guodong was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "That's right, there are plenty of scenes about Stone Gambling on TV, I used to dream of getting rich overnight..."

"But as a public official, I can't just stand by and watch you act recklessly."

Qi Zixiao looked at him...

Wu Guodong added, "However, sometimes my eyesight isn't very good."

Wu Guodong isn't a rigid person; these things... well, you get the idea.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Zixiao noticed that he had closed one eye.

The legendary "turning a blind eye"?

Qi Zixiao understood.

"Yes, yes, as public officials, we certainly can't act recklessly."

Qi Zixiao agreed, but she worked quickly and efficiently, selecting all the Spirit Stone that she sensed had spiritual energy and loading them into the trunk of the vehicle that Wu Guodong had prepared.

Throughout this process, Wu Guodong's eyesight was poor, and he didn't see anything.

Minutes later, local police arrived, sealed off the shop, and conducted a search...

Wu Guodong then handcuffed the man and put him in the car, heading towards C City.

During the journey, Qi Zixiao couldn't help but ask, "Old Wu, what about that million-dollar reward offered by the tycoon..."

"I'll let you know as soon as I have any news, okay?"

Wu Guodong was both amused and exasperated. "You'll get your share!"

"That's good!" Qi Zixiao nodded in satisfaction.
