Cultivator Robber

The material of the Golden Cicada Slough is very special, and its appearance is also unique. It is very difficult to find something that can replace it.

Zhou Er was extremely troubled by this, but he showed no outward signs of distress, acting as if nothing had happened, merely contemplating behind the scenes.

As time passed, many of the resources on Fanhua Island also began to be harvested.

Spirit Fish, Spirit Grains, and various medicinal herbs all came to fruition.

Spirit Fish needed to be caught, and Spirit Grains needed to be reaped.

Gu Fan also became busy, organizing the island's personnel to harvest these items.

While Gu Fan wasn't paying attention, Zhou Er went to the ancestral hall and quietly equipped the Golden Cicada Slough for a while.

[Cicada Concealment (Green): Like a golden cicada hidden underground, cultivators at the Golden Core stage and below will be unable to detect any information about you with their Spiritual Sense.]

[Solidification Condition: Remain in an environment without light for three thousand hours. (1/3000)]

This Cicada Concealment attribute could even shield Golden Core cultivators.

With this attribute, he could even consider returning to Xiayun Sect.

He hadn't seen Lin Shiyu for a year and didn't know how she was doing now, or if she had become an Alchemist.

However, Gu Fan treated him very well, and he had signed some Contracts with the Gu Family, so it wasn't convenient to leave Bashui Immortal City.

Sensing that Gu Fan might be returning, Zhou Er put back the Golden Cicada Slough and walked out of the ancestral hall.

Zhou Er practiced some Spells in an open space outside. Before long, Gu Fan returned to the Cave Mansion area.

Gu Fan saw Zhou Er and walked over, saying:

"Brother Er, the harvest of Qingxi Fish this year is good. When Sister Bai returns, we can go to Bashui Immortal City to shop for some things."

After several days of effort, the Spirit Fish raised on the island had basically been caught and exchanged for Spirit Stones.

"Sister Fan, I don't need it," Zhou Er said calmly.

"It's fine, Spirit Stones are meant to be spent," Gu Fan said with a smile.

She was contemplating what Zhou Er still lacked and was determined to get it for him.

Zhou Er felt that he lacked nothing and didn't want too many things.

Of course, he desperately needed the Golden Cicada Slough.

But this could not be said directly.

The two returned to the cave mansion together, and after a session of intimacy, they each went into cultivation.

[Yin-Yang Harmony: Regulates the balance of Yin and Yang within the body.]

[Solidification Condition: Spend three hundred hours with Dao Companion. (107/300)]

Every time before getting intimate with Gu Fan, Zhou Er would equip the Yin-Yang Great Joy Manual to solidify the Yin-Yang Harmony attribute.

However, they had only been together for half a year, and it was still too difficult to meet the solidification condition.

Zhou Er estimated that it would take at least another year.

Of course, if Zhou Er had other Dao Companions, this speed could be increased.

But, his current identity was that of a son-in-law, so he naturally couldn't find other Dao Companions.

Unless he broke through to Foundation Establishment and gained control.

However, there was no rush for this attribute.

Without looking at the attributes anymore, Zhou Er began to cultivate diligently.

Several days later, a group of water bandits arrived at Fanhua Island by small boat in the middle of the night.

If it were before, Bai Zhuozhuo would have dealt with these water bandits after noticing them.

This time, they had somehow gotten wind that Bai Zhuozhuo had not yet returned from her outing, and they planned to take the opportunity to plunder Fanhua Island.

"Now, Fanhua Island only has Gu Fan and her little son-in-law. We have five cultivators at Late-stage Qi Refining and thirteen at Qi Refining Mid-stage. That's more than enough to deal with them."

A cultivator at Late-stage Qi Refining said before landing on the island.

"If we pull off this big score, we'll have enough cultivation resources for several years."

Another cultivator robber said.

After encouraging each other, this group of cultivator robbers took advantage of the night and attacked the island.

The islanders suffered, and immediately fled to the cave mansion in the center of Fanhua Island, wanting to hide in Gu Fan's cave mansion, but the formation blocked them, and they couldn't get in at all.

The cultivator robbers were trying to break the formation protecting the cave mansion while killing the islanders.

Gu Fan sensed that the formation was being damaged and immediately pulled Zhou Er up to go out and check the situation together.

Seeing that they were cultivator robbers, Gu Fan immediately used a communication talisman to inform the family elders.

But, perhaps because it was too late, Gu Fan did not receive a response.

Of course, even if a response was received, it would still take at least half an hour for family members to arrive from Bashui Immortal City or nearby islands.

Seeing the Cultivator Robbers charging aggressively, the defensive formation probably wouldn't last much longer.

"Brother Er, don't worry, this defensive formation can hold on for a while longer. The family elders will be here to support us soon."

Despite feeling a bit flustered inside, Gu Fan comforted him.

"These Cultivator Robbers outside are too rampant. I'll go deal with them."

Zhou Er saw that the Cultivator Robbers outside were all Qi Refining cultivators. He took out his Ruyi Ring and prepared to charge out.

Zhou Er had been watching when Gu Fan used the communication talisman earlier. No one knew when the family elders would receive the message and arrive.

And although this group of Cultivator Robbers outside was numerous, they were ultimately just Qi Refining cultivators.

With the "Defensive Guard" attribute to save his life, Zhou Er didn't care at all.

"Brother Er, don't be impulsive."

Gu Fan, who had never seen Zhou Er in actual combat, was very worried and stopped him.

"It's okay, Sister Fan, I know what I'm doing."

Zhou Er patted Gu Fan's hand, took out his Ruyi Ring, and rushed out of the formation.

Three of the Cultivator Robbers saw Zhou Er charging out. They stopped attacking the formation and immediately changed direction, charging towards Zhou Er.

"Isn't this the new Dao Companion of the Gu Family's widow? To actually charge out and seek death, then don't blame us for being impolite."

A Cultivator Robber with a Silver Hook Nose said mockingly.

"Heh! Gu Family's Son-in-law, how does the widow taste? After we kill you, we brothers will help you dote on that widow properly."

A Cultivator Robber with a Goatee said lewdly.

Zhou Er ignored these Cultivator Robbers. After pulling some distance away, he took out several Talismans from his Storage Bag.

Immediately, eight fireballs appeared around him and shot towards the three charging at him.

The three Cultivator Robbers immediately dodged. Those who couldn't dodge used their magic artifacts to Block.

After blocking this round, Zhou Er's next batch of Fireball Talismans was ready and shot towards the three.

The scorching aura never dissipated.

"Damn it! Why does he have so many Talismans?"

The Cultivator Robber with the Silver Hook Nose, suppressed by the continuous Fireball Talismans, said in exasperation.

"Third Brother, he seems to be a Talisman Master."

Another Cultivator Robber said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Er's Ruyi Ring was placed around his neck and continuously shrunk until it snapped it.

Zhou Er using the Fireball Talisman was merely to consume these people's spiritual power and transfer their attention.

When they were exhausted from defending, he would then use the Ruyi Ring to deliver a fatal blow.

Cannot find the book title, you can try searching for the author, maybe the name has been changed!

"Fifth Brother!"

The Silver Hook Nose Cultivator Robber, seeing his sworn younger brother so easily strangled, was both shocked and furious.

"Big Brother! Forget about that magic array, Fifth Brother is dead, hurry over, let's kill that Gu Family Son-in-law together first."

Another Cultivator Robber immediately said to the Cultivator Robber who was still destroying the defensive magic array not far away.

The leading Cultivator Robber heard this and immediately signaled his subordinates to stop and surround Zhou Er who was not far away.

"You killed Fifth Brother, I will surely carve your flesh piece by piece, making you wish you were dead."

The leading Cultivator Robber said fiercely, holding a long saber.

Although surrounded by a group of Cultivator Robbers, Zhou Er was not flustered. He continued to activate the Fireball Talisman while retracting his Ruyi Ring.

Because these Cultivator Robbers were numerous and Zhou Er was alone, many Cultivator Robbers managed to activate their spells. Fireballs, arrow rain, and other attacks flew towards Zhou Er.

Before these attacks landed, spiritual power water erupted from around Zhou Er, forming a water sphere with no blind spots to protect him, absorbing all these attacks.

After one water sphere was broken, another new water sphere shield formed.

This was Zhou Er's Water Shield Talisman.

He had talismans in his hand, so there was no need to waste time and spiritual power casting spells himself.

Seeing this, the group of Cultivator Robbers immediately realized how troublesome a Talisman Master was.

These talismans seemed inexhaustible, coming one after another.

Of course, Zhou Er's situation of fighting so many alone was extremely draining.

From the beginning until now, hundreds of Fireball Talismans had been consumed, all for the sake of suppressing the firepower.

Fortunately, the effect was still quite good.

At least, all the Cultivator Robbers had been drawn over, and a standoff situation had been achieved.

The leader of the Cultivator Robbers saw that neither side could gain the upper hand and realized that continuing to stall would be disadvantageous to them. Thus, he stopped the long-range attacks and charged forward fiercely, wielding his long saber.

The long saber sliced through layers of water shields, and the leader of the Cultivator Robbers finally broke through Zhou Er's defenses.

At this moment, Zhou Er's body transformed, suddenly becoming a giant nearly three meters tall. He wielded the Ruyi Ring and violently smashed it towards the leader of the Cultivator Robbers.

The leader of the Cultivator Robbers, who initially thought victory was within his grasp, was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events and quickly raised his saber to Block.

In just a few moves, Zhou Er sent the leader of the Cultivator Robbers' long saber flying and then fiercely struck with the Ruyi Ring.

The Ruyi Ring hit the leader of the Cultivator Robbers in the face, knocking out his teeth. The entire person lost consciousness.

"He's actually a Body Cultivator too."

Seeing Zhou Er's violent side, the other Cultivator Robbers immediately realized something was wrong.

In the blink of an eye, these Cultivator Robbers scattered and fled.

Although Zhou Er hadn't formally trained his body, his Physical Body strength had long been extraordinary due to various Attribute buffs.

Facing the fleeing Cultivator Robbers, Zhou Er took out a Large Pile of Talismans from his Storage Bag.

Flames and sword light erupted, hitting most of the Cultivator Robbers and rendering them unable to resist.

Only a few Cultivator Robbers escaped on a Small Boat. Zhou Er couldn't catch up, so he could only retract the Ruyi Ring and return to his original size.

The reason he could grow larger was because of the Size Manipulation Attribute.

With this Attribute, his body size increased, and his strength also grew, which provided some advantages in close-quarters combat.

Now that the battle was over, he returned to his original size.

Without pursuing the escaped Cultivator Robbers, Zhou Er inspected the Cultivator Robbers he had defeated and the surrounding islanders.

Most of the islanders had been slaughtered by these Cultivator Robbers. Only three were still alive, but they had sustained significant injuries.

Zhou Er cast Water Healing Technique, Simple healing them before turning his attention to the Cultivator Robbers he had defeated.

Most of the Cultivator Robbers he defeated were dead, but a few had stubbornly survived.

One of them was the leader of the Cultivator Robbers, who had been beaten beyond recognition by Zhou Er and was currently in a coma.

"Brother Er, are you alright!"

Gu Fan stepped forward, showing concern.

Before, when Zhou Er was being surrounded, she had tried to help.

However, with only Qi Refining Seventh Layer cultivation, she hadn't been able to make much of a difference.

"Sister Fan, I'm fine. It's just that our Fanhua Island has been destroyed beyond recognition."

Zhou Er looked at the devastated island and said.

The place where the islanders lived was the most severely damaged, engulfed in a sea of fire.

After Zhou Er subdued the two surviving Cultivator Robbers, he did his best to salvage the property on Fanhua Island.

But the destruction was too severe, and there was little Zhou Er could do.

He turned back and looked at the two severely injured Cultivator Robbers.

One had been hit by a Fireball Technique and suffered severe burns all over his body. The other was the leader of the Cultivator Robbers, whom Zhou Er had beaten half to death with the Ruyi Ring.

Zhou Er felt that these Cultivator Robbers were not simple. He wanted to get information from them, so he used the Water Healing Technique to heal them slightly and then woke them up.

"Who are you? Why did you attack Fanhua Island?"

Zhou Er grabbed the head of the Cultivator Robber leader and questioned him.

The Cultivator Robber leader had lost a few teeth, and his face was swollen. He couldn't speak clearly.

"We... we heard that Bai Zhuozhuo of Fanhua Island went to the Yunmeng Marsh Secret Realm. Fanhua Island's defenses were weak, so we got greedy."

The Cultivator Robber leader stammered.

He had intended to remain defiant, but after Zhou Er's torture, he could only tell the truth.

"Lord Cang, Lord Gu, give me a quick death!"

The Cultivator Robber leader knew he couldn't survive and pleaded.

He was currently bound and couldn't even take his own life. He just hoped not to suffer any more before dying.

Zhou Er was not one to enjoy torturing others. Just as he was about to kill the Cultivator Robber leader with a single blow, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Someone must have instigated you, right!"

Zhou Er's eyes turned fierce as he looked at the Cultivator Robber leader.

Generally, such bandits who caused trouble everywhere had a backer pulling the strings.

Who to rob and who to extort had clear targets.

The Cultivator Robber leader indeed panicked immensely and said:

"I don't know what you're talking about. We, the Five Brothers of Xiagou, never take orders from anyone."

They were a group of Cultivator Robbers from downstream of Wangyue Lake. Someone paid them Spirit Stones to do dirty work, and they would never betray their boss.

Of course, the Boss also introduced them through intermediaries, and they didn't know the Boss's true identity.

After interrogating them for the latter half of the night, Zhou Er tortured the two surviving Cultivator Robbers until they were no longer human. Once he confirmed they truly knew nothing, he killed them.

It was a release for the two Cultivator Robbers. There wasn't a single piece of good flesh on their bodies, and being able to die painlessly was fortunate for them.

Of course, they deserved it. They had almost wiped out the islanders of Fanhua Island, causing considerable losses to Fanhua Island.

Although they didn't know who was behind this group of Cultivator Robbers, it was certain that someone had instigated them.

Fanhua Island had already been targeted by someone with ulterior motives.

Zhou Er didn't know who it was now, so he could only proceed with caution.

Gu Fan looked at the devastated Fanhua Island, her heart aching.

Rebuilding would cost a large sum of Spirit Stones.

Fortunately, the magical artifacts on the Cultivator Robbers could be sold to recoup some losses.

After a night of chaos, the sky gradually brightened. A Small Boat approached from not far away. It was people sent by the Gu Family to support Fanhua Island.

"Thank you, Clan Brother, for coming to support us."

Even though these people arrived late, Gu Fan thanked them and gave some Spirit Stones to these clan members.
