Parchment Map

As soon as Su Changqing spoke, a smile bloomed on Hu Liena's face.

If he was willing to come, surely she could find a way to make him stay?

She had plenty of methods to keep him!

"Okay, of course, no problem. Let's go eat."

"Alright, thank you, Sister Na."

"Little Changqing, don't call me Sister Na anymore. Call me Sister Nana. Sister Na sounds too old!"

"Hehe, okay, Sister Na."

"I'm gonna hit you! (Disappointed)"

The two went to a restaurant, ate their fill, and then inquired about Chen Liang's location. That night, they quietly infiltrated the premises.

Chen Liang's home was a luxurious five-story villa, complete with a two-hundred-square-meter courtyard surrounded by guards.

However, they were all around the three to four-ring cultivation level, and while there were many of them, both Su Changqing and Hu Liena wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble. So, Su Changqing simply carried Hu Liena, and before the guards' eyes could even react, they had successfully infiltrated.

Su Changqing naturally put Hu Liena down. In the darkness of the night, he didn't notice her cheeks were already slightly flushed.

"There must be good stuff in this house. Let's keep our voices down. As long as we aren't discovered, by the time these people realize Chen Liang is missing and investigate the truth, it'll be a long time later," Su Changqing whispered.

"Actually, I don't think it's necessary. What can they do even if they find out? Can a few small families in the Heaven Dou Empire do anything to the Martial Soul Hall?"

Hu Liena's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

Clearly, in her opinion, they should have just killed everyone in the villa, quickly looted the place, and then retreated. Who cared if they could figure it out or not!

She was the Saintess of the Martial Soul Hall. Even the Upper Three Sects of the Heaven Dou Empire would have to think twice before messing with her!

"My Sister Nana, this isn't about whether it's troublesome or not. I know you're strong and have a powerful background, but why put yourself in danger when you can obtain benefits silently?"

Hu Liena froze for a moment at his words.

Is this the mindset of an eleven-year-old?

I didn't expect someone so young to have such a mature mind!

This made Hu Liena even more determined to keep Su Changqing in the Martial Soul Hall!

His future was simply limitless!

"You know quite a lot. But you don't need to remind me, your Sister Nana is very smart!"

Hu Liena pinched Su Changqing's face. The two stopped fooling around and began to explore the villa.

They moved in the dark, relying on their spiritual power to discern objects.

After about thirty minutes, they triggered a mechanism and entered the basement.

Unlike the ground floor, the basement was brightly lit and filled with Gold Soul Coins and numerous valuable ornaments.

"Whoa, I didn't expect Chen Liang to be this rich!" Su Changqing exclaimed.

On the Douluo Continent, for an individual merchant without the backing of a family or sect to reach Chen Liang's level was already incredibly impressive!

No wonder he thought they wouldn't dare kill him after revealing his name.

Without him, the Heaven Dou Empire's economy would likely fall behind the Star Luo Empire before long!

"A wasted trip, there's nothing much here. These gold and jewels are fine for ordinary people, but for us Soul Masters, they aren't that important," Hu Liena said with some disappointment.

"Not necessarily."

Su Changqing picked up an Immortal Herb, his face filled with excitement.

Hu Liena looked at what he was holding, feeling confused.

"Isn't this just a flower with a bit of spiritual energy? What's so special about it?"

"You wouldn't understand this. This is a rare treasure that can enhance my spiritual power. It's a good item, as my current weaknesses are probably close combat and spiritual power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Changqing put away the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, which was about seven thousand years old.

Although his Storage Soul Tool couldn't store living things, a Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew of this age wouldn't die as long as it wasn't kept inside for too long.

It would last at least thirty days.

All this knowledge about herbs came from Su Changqing's hurried reading of Yang Wudi's Immortal Herb Manual when he borrowed it those two days. He had only managed to remember a limited amount.

In this era of Douluo Continent Book 1, most people didn't recognize rare treasures. This was his advantage!

"Sister Nana, take all the Immortal Herbs like this that you see. Oh, take the ones over five thousand years old. Anything under five thousand years is not worth it, as they'll die soon after being put into a soul tool."

"Okay."

Hu Liena agreed immediately, without asking Su Changqing why he wanted these items.

Anything that piqued Su Changqing's interest must have some unexpected significance!

The two thus took all the Immortal Herbs over five thousand years old from the basement, about seven or eight stalks in total.

Su Changqing was a little disappointed. He had thought they might find some other good items besides Immortal Herbs!

"Changqing, look what I found!"

Hu Liena walked over, holding a parchment scroll.

"Let me see."

Su Changqing took it and unrolled the scroll.

Inside, the parchment depicted a map.

On the edge of a large landmass, separated by a vast sea, was another continent. This continent was much smaller than the first.

"It's a map, but I can't really read it. Nana, can you understand it?"

"I can understand some of it. This continent is where we are. This is the Heaven Dou Empire, this is the Star Luo Empire, and this is Martial Soul City," Hu Liena said, pointing to the first landmass on the map.

She then moved her jade finger to the other side of the sea.

"I've heard my teacher mention this place. It seems to be another continent. They say there's an empire there too. Very few people from our side interact with people from there, so I don't know much about it."

Hearing Hu Liena's explanation, Su Changqing's face filled with confusion.

Could this continent be the Sun Moon Empire?

Something's not right!

Didn't the Sun Moon Empire form from tectonic plate collisions much later? Why would it appear now?

Su Changqing couldn't figure it out. His only suspicion was that his transmigration had altered something, causing the plates to collide prematurely!

"Alright, I want to keep this map. Nana, you see..."

"It's just a map, no need to be so polite. I'm not really interested in the things in this basement anyway. If you need anything, when we get to Martial Soul City, we can pool our resources. Just tell me what you want."

Listening to Hu Liena's words, Su Changqing felt a complex mixture of emotions.

Hu Liena didn't understand Immortal Herbs, so she naturally didn't know their preciousness. Therefore, he wasn't sure if she was genuinely being kind to him or if there were other reasons.

However, Su Changqing didn't dwell on such details. In this world where strength reigned supreme, he didn't place much trust in genuine affection.

"Thank you."

"We don't need to say thank you between us. Let's go."

"Okay."

After leaving the basement, the two closed its door. Su Changqing then picked up Hu Liena again and quickly left Chen Liang's house.

The two of them had thus silently plundered Chen Liang's home.
