Yang Zhen could see clearly that the old woman was none other than his maternal grandmother.
Grandma carried away the newly made stone tablet. Seeing the nervous, excited, and cautious look on Grandma's face, Yang Zhen walked out in a daze. Great Deficiency Sword made his move and dug down another stone tablet.
See, what did this Sage of Saunter say again?
If making a few counterfeits can stop the fighting and bring peace, then why bother with all the fighting?
Yang Zhen remade the stone tablet. In order to make it perfect, Yang Zhen even desperately activated the Emperor Mark in his body and poured some Emperor Qi into the newly made stone tablet.
Looking at the magnificent stone tablet that exuded an Emperor Qi, Yang Zhen was very satisfied. He readjusted his position and hid to the side to wait.
It's just unknown how long this Emperor Qi can stay inside the stone tablet. If Yang Zhen's Spirit-Locking Array works, it can store it for about two years before slowly dissipating. If it doesn't work, Grandma might discover it after carrying it out.
However, Yang Zhen felt that, given Grandma's character, she wouldn't be so eager to open her storage ring as soon as she left. After all, there were so many Half-Step Great Saint here; if she were discovered, she definitely wouldn't be able to take even the fakes with her.
Let alone being discovered by Half-Step Great Saint, if anyone were to discover that the mysterious old woman was looking at a stone tablet that looked quite exquisite and was radiating Emperor Qi, it would definitely cause a sensation and inevitably lead to a fierce battle and looting.
Yang Zhen hid in the spot where he had just been hiding, carefully controlling the energy within his body.
In reality, even if Yang Zhen didn't control his aura, no one would be able to detect him under these circumstances; the Emperor Qi here was simply too terrifying.
When the Emperor Mark on Yang Zhen's body is triggered, the aura that erupts from his body can almost perfectly blend with this Emperor Qi. Even if he goes out for a stroll, as long as no one notices him, no one will be able to detect him.
Just as Yang Zhen hid, he saw a furtive figure walk in. The figure had shifty eyes and looked like a thief—no, even a thief wouldn't be this cautious, looking around like a rat.
But these rats were quite fierce, Yang Zhen was startled. He didn't expect that the second one to come in would be that old Lu Haike.
This is a genuine Half-Step Great Saint; if he's discovered, people will die.
Yang Zhen held his breath and, with the help of the dim light, saw a look of doubt flash across Lu Haike's face. Upon seeing the stone tablet, Lu Haike suddenly became overjoyed, letting out a loud "ha!" as if about to burst into laughter. He then tightly covered his mouth, making Yang Zhen almost burst out laughing.
That old geezer is so funny!
Seeing Lu Haike walk up to the stone tablet and examine it with delight, Yang Zhen thought to himself, only Half-Step Great Saint would have the courage to check its authenticity under these circumstances. Someone like Grandma would practically pick it up and run without the slightest hesitation.
Why is it so small?
Lu Haike muttered to himself, placing his hand on the stone tablet to sense it. His expression immediately changed drastically, and he exclaimed, " Emperor Qi!"
Seeing Lu Haike simply put the stone tablet into a Storage Bag, Yang Zhen rolled his eyes. With such a large storage treasure, he still complained it was too small?
Do you think all the stones here are like this stone tablet in Sage of Saunter hand, capable of changing size?
It's already quite impressive that we were able to produce such a large piece. Yang Zhen would have liked to make an exact replica, but time didn't allow it.
I wonder what these people have been through. Getting here seems to be mostly due to luck. What if someone else comes in? Won't a fight break out?
Yang Zhen wished he could rush out and urge Lu Haike to get lost. He wasted time dawdling here; what if Huang Shixi came in? Would the two of them fight or not?
Clearly, Lu Haike knew that this place was not a good place to stay. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a large water vat-like object, filled it with spring water, and left.
Yang Zhen was dumbfounded, utterly astonished by the old Celestial Person Lu Haike and filled with admiration.
Even Yang Zhen hadn't expected that some of the spring water would be taken away. Now that he thought about it, how could a spring that could guard this stone tablet not be a treasure?
After Lu Haike left, Yang Zhen filled everything he could with water until he had almost finished filling the Emperor Spring. Then he made a stone tablet, but before he could put it down properly, he saw a figure swaying and walking towards him.
Yang Zhen quickly hid behind a rock, and after seeing who it was, he immediately felt a little strange.
It's true, I can't help but think that the one who came this time was that old fellow Huang Shixi.
Half-Step Great Saint, indeed! His aura is quite different now. No wonder he's so arrogant, always saying the same thing to everyone, "Get lost!"
Look at Huang Shixi's walking posture; his nostrils are almost pointing to the sky, and his face flashes with a solemn expression. Although he doesn't look to the side, he is also vigilant about his surroundings.
At this moment, anyone who suddenly rushes out will surely be met with Huang Shixi's fiercest attack.
Who can afford to offend a Half-Step Great Saint?
Yang Zhen even stopped breathing. After all, this guy really had the right to be arrogant. Those two "get lost" insults left Yang Zhen speechless.
Huang Shixi gradually approached the stone tablet, a solemn expression on his face. He didn't pick it up and run away, nor did he nag like a nagging old woman like Lu Haike.
Yang Zhen nodded to himself as he watched. Although the old man was arrogant, his calm and composed personality was truly admirable.
Look at that serious expression, look at how he remains unfazed even after seeing a priceless treasure—that's a true master.
Yang Zhen racked his brains for words of praise to silently compliment Huang Shixi, when Huang Shixi in front of the stone tablet suddenly did a backflip.
This sudden and outrageous move left Yang Zhen speechless, and he almost couldn't help but stand up and applaud.
It's so perfectly natural, absolutely flawless, and incredibly cool!
But why did he suddenly do a backflip?
Yang Zhen cautiously surveyed her surroundings; there was no danger.
Yang Zhen stared blankly as Huang Shixi did a backflip, then put his hands on his hips and made a laughing gesture, but made no sound, clearly afraid of attracting attention with his laughter.
If Yang Zhen hadn't bitten his arm so hard, he definitely would have burst out laughing.
Damn it, I racked my Sage of Saunter praising your composure and maturity for ages, and this is what you do to Sage of Saunter?
Are you a clown hired by the monkeys?
A silent laugh! Yang Zhen suddenly realized that the backflip wasn't due to danger, but rather excitement.
This old geezer isn't a composed and strong man, but rather a hidden goofball!
Life is full of all sorts of things, so many different kinds of things.
You can never truly understand a person's personality hidden beneath their surface without seeing them in person.
How could Huang Shixi, that old geezer with thick eyebrows and big eyes, be so amused?
Yang Zhen's face ached from holding it in; he almost bit through his Dragon-Elephant Prison-Shaking Body. He was thinking that if he suffered internal injuries from holding it in, he would definitely have to ask this old geezer for medical treatment and compensation for emotional distress.
We can't take him now, we can't beat him!
Watching Huang Shixi furtively put the stone tablet into a Storage Bag, cough lightly, and slowly walk out with his hands behind his back, Yang Zhen was completely exhausted and lay down behind the rock, laughing out loud... the silent kind.
Damn it, Huang Shixi didn't dare laugh out loud, afraid someone would discover he was trying to steal the stone tablet. Yang Zhen didn't dare laugh out loud either; what if that old bastard Huang Shixi hadn't gone far? Wouldn't he be silenced?
"Take a break, take a rest. We can't rush things with this fake stuff," Yang Zhen thought, wanting to laugh.
Before Yang Zhen could recover, Huang Shixi returned, startling Yang Zhen so much that she almost pulled her arm back. She hurriedly put her arm back into her mouth, biting it painfully.
