Chapter 1063: Chapter 667 Part 2

The ancestors of the Gongsu Family could already foresee what kind of waves would be stirred when today’s events in Zhou Tian City spread to the outside world.

It would probably be full of rumors unfavorable to their family.

"I know what you all are thinking, but those are secondary concerns. Right now, I have something more important to discuss, so pay attention."

The elder with crane hair and youthful face looked at their expressions and understood their thoughts.

Thinking of the suffocating premonition he sensed, he spoke gravely.

Seeing the father’s grave demeanor, all the other ancestors of the Gongsu Family felt a shiver run through their hearts, and their expressions also turned serious.

Nobody knew what the ancestors of the Gongsu Family discussed in the end, but on this day, the guards in Zhou Tian City became much stricter.

It was no longer possible to enter or leave freely; everyone needed identification, or they would be treated as devils.

On a relatively secluded street, the owner of an elixir pharmacy was surprised to find that the artifact refining shop opposite had not opened since.

...

High above an unknown distance and across numerous continents from Zhou Tian City,

a spatial vortex suddenly appeared, followed by a silver flying boat emerging from it.

Lu Qing’s figure flew out of the boat, quickly storing the void flying boat away before activating several teleportation jade talismans. He then found a forest, and flew down to find a cave, concealing his aura and hiding within it.

After a long while, when he saw there was no movement outside, he let out a sigh of relief.

He naturally wasn’t worried about the old ghosts of the Gongsu Family catching up.

With the power of the high grade spirit artifact, Void Flying Boat, its spatial leap was so vast that even a Primordial Spirit Five Tribulations Great Power couldn’t catch up.

What he was worried about was the fluctuation of the void flying boat might attract some powerful presence here.

Though the probability was small, he cautiously chose a more secure approach.

Now that everything was quiet outside, knowing he wasn’t that unlucky, he truly relaxed his mind.

"This time was really quite a mess."

After confirming his safety, Lu Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Gongsu Family, this time he infiltrated Zhou Tian City, assassinating Gong Shulian, slaying several Primordial Spirit Realm figures with a sword, making fools of the elders of the Gongsu Family, and even escaping from a Five Tribulation Primordial Spirit Great Power,

was all seen as cunning and extremely sly.

But only Lu Qing knew that every step was taken with great risk, and a slight mistake could have led to exposure.

Only because he had the strong trump card of the Secret Realm Stone Plate was he able to act so boldly.

Otherwise, even with more courage, he wouldn’t dare to carry out such a high-profile assassination under the watchful eyes of Primordial Spirit Great Powers far beyond his realm.

Fortunately, despite the danger, the rewards were substantial.

Lu Qing’s heart and spirit scanned the Leaving Fire Tripod and Qiankun Qi Bag, and his mood began to brighten up.

After laying down an array with dozens of jade talismans to conceal his aura, he then released Little Li.

"Ah, Ah Qing, I, I saw lots of spirit stones in the Leaving Fire Tripod!"

Little Li exclaimed stammeringly as soon as it appeared in front of Lu Qing.

"I got those from one of the Gongsu Family’s Treasure Vaults, not only the Leaving Fire Tripod, but there’s also plenty of spirit stones in the Qiankun Qi Bag." Lu Qing said with a smile.

Previously, Lu Qing had used his two major spirit artifacts to quickly empty the vault of the second direct line of the Gongsu Family.

Now both the Leaving Fire Tripod and the Qiankun Qi Bag contained a lot of treasures.

"There’s more in the Qiankun Qi Bag! Ah Qing, did you raid the Gongsu Family’s Treasure Vault?"

Little Li’s eyes widened.

Lu Qing had been very cautious in this assassination, even restraining the fluctuations of the Leaving Fire Tripod to conceal his aura.

So Little Li wasn’t aware of what had happened earlier in Zhou Tian City.

"Just a vault from one of the direct lineages, not the main treasure vault of the Gongsu Family."

Lu Qing explained.

"And these aren’t all of the Gongsu family’s spirit stones?" Little Li was even more astonished.

It had already been shocked by the mountain of spirit stones it saw in the Leaving Fire Tripod.

Did not expect it to be just the spirit stones from one of the Gongsu Family’s vaults.

"I didn’t expect the Gongsu Family to be so wealthy. Let’s go inside and take a closer look."

Lu Qing looked at the cave in front of him, recalling the quantity of spirit stones in the Leaving Fire Tripod and the Qiankun Qi Bag, and decided to go inside and inventory them.

"Alright, alright!"

Little Li was excited.

It had been rolling on the spirit stone mountain and hadn’t fully enjoyed it when Ah Qing let it out, so naturally, it wanted to go back and play.

Immediately, Lu Qing brought Little Li back inside the Leaving Fire Tripod.

In the spiritual artifact space, a figure was standing in front of a "small mountain" exuding a rich aura of spiritual charm, and who else could it be but "Yan."

"Master."

As soon as Lu Qing entered the spiritual artifact space, "Yan" sensed it and came over to greet him.

As for Little Li, it once again pounced onto the spirit stone mountain, rolling around.

With a rustling sound, spirit stones began to scatter, making the aura of spiritual charm in the spiritual artifact space even stronger.

"Master, our harvest this time is truly enormous."

"Yan" couldn’t help but exclaim seeing this scene.

Compared to Little Li, it knew how these spirit stones had been obtained, especially since it had helped Lu Qing in sweeping the vault.

"Indeed, I didn’t expect this harvest to be so large."

Lu Qing’s heart and spirit were a bit stirred as he looked at the small mountain of spirit stones.

Originally, when he infiltrated the inner city, he hadn’t planned on robbing the Gongsu Family’s vault.

In the end, he learned of the vault’s existence from Qiao Rong’s Divine Soul memory, which gave him the sudden idea.

Unexpectedly, that impulsive decision became the biggest reward of the journey.

"Yan, have you accounted for how many spirit stones are here?"

Although the vault had many other treasures, for Lu Qing, the spirit stones were the most important now.

After all, it determined whether he could quickly break through the limit and reach the mysterious realm beyond the nine transforms of the Golden Core.

"Yes, I’ve counted them."

"Yan" nodded gently.

Although the spirit stones were numerous, as the Artifact Spirit of the Leaving Fire Tripod, its control over the spiritual artifact space made counting treasure an easy task.

"There are a total of 383,546 middle grade spirit stones here."

"Three hundred and eighty-three thousand..."

Even though Lu Qing was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but gasp upon hearing the number.

Because the number was just too staggering.

And in the Qiankun Qi Bag, there was another batch of spirit stones, although not as many as the Leaving Fire Tripod, combined they represented a substantial amount.

It’s worth noting that his original goal was just one hundred thousand middle grade spirit stones, and now the goal had been exceeded several times over.

This left Lu Qing deeply astonished.

"With this, I won’t have to worry about spirit stones for a very long time."

Lu Qing’s heart and spirit were surging.

With this amount of spirit stones, he could not only break limits and step into the realm beyond nine transforms of the Golden Core.

Even achieving the Primordial Spirit and for a period after as well, he might not have to worry about lacking spirit stones.

"The Gongsu Family is truly wealthy; just the vault of a single secondary branch holds so many spirit stones. What unimaginable wealth must the main treasure vault of the Gongsu Family hold?"

Lu Qing couldn’t help but fantasize.

However, this time, Lu Qing was mistaken.

He didn’t know that among the direct lineages of the Gongsu Family, the second branch was famous for its business acumen, not only owning numerous industries but also proficient at earning spirit stones.

Hence, their vault held so many spirit stones.

Had it been the vaults of other branches, having even a tenth of the spirit stones would be fortunate.
