Chapter 33: Don't Ask

"Ahem, to celebrate my fishing level increasing today, I'll open two card packs first to test my luck!"

Su Ping took a deep breath and spent twenty Fishing Coins to exchange for two Pot Heaven-exclusive card packs.

Although the items opened were exclusive to the Pot Heaven.

It did not mean there were no good items that could enhance his main body's strength.

Su Ping remembered that in the Pot Heaven, one could open special Spirit Fields and corresponding spirit seeds.

And then there was the accompanying Pot Heaven Mysterious Water that could accelerate the maturation speed of crops.

The sooner these things were obtained, the more they could lend him a helping hand!

Swish! Su Ping's heart stirred, and he opened the two card packs.

Suddenly, a flash of Golden Light flickered before his eyes! A stream of information floated past, and Su Ping hurriedly looked over:

【Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion, main building, quality: Rare, Pot Heaven-exclusive, placement can slightly increase the Spirit Qi output of the Dongtian】

【Evil-Warding and Evil-Punishing Stone Lion, special building, quality: Precious, Pot Heaven-exclusive, placement can slightly increase the Spirit Qi output of the Dongtian】

"One Rare, one Precious!"

"In the past, that would be two single pulls in a row, one gold and one purple!"

"Good luck is with me!"

Although these two items seemed useless for the time being, the quality was there, which still made Su Ping smile from the heart.

"Since my luck is so good, one should pursue the fleeing enemy with the remaining courage!"

Su Ping thought for a moment, then looked at his warehouse; excluding the expenses and culinary enjoyments of this period, he still had 60 Fishing Coins, 95 Small Green Fish, and 32 Big Green Fish left.

Su Ping bought two more Pot Heaven-exclusive card packs.

【Zhaoyue Stone, decorative item, quality: Common, Pot Heaven-exclusive.】

【Emerald Willow, decorative item, quality: Common, Pot Heaven-exclusive】

"Hmm?"

Su Ping looked at this output that seemed to have returned to the normal drop rate.

A hint of something wrong faintly arose in his heart.

But thinking of the rare building he had opened before.

Su Ping whispered in his heart:

"It's not a big problem!"

"The next pull will definitely yield something, and I haven't used the fish I caught from my previous fishing trips for card pulls."

"Besides, don't ask! If you ask, it's that a little micro-transaction doesn't count as spending!"

Su Ping steeled his heart and threw the remaining forty Fishing Coins in.

After three consecutive common decorative items—Cloud Pattern Tea Set, Flying Crane Screen, and Rose Seeds.

Finally, a purple light appeared! It timely prevented Su Ping from putting on a mask of pain.

【Immortal Crane Boy, special doll, quality: Precious, Pot Heaven-exclusive, can act on orders after placement.】

"Not a loss today, one gold and two purples in eight pulls!"

Having spent all his Fishing Coins, Su Ping's body seemed to relax with a sigh of relief.

It wasn't self-consolation, but rather, after reading the simple descriptions of these Pot Heaven-exclusive items, Su Ping faintly felt that once he obtained the Pot Heaven, he wouldn't regret the expenses spent on these pulls today.

Su Ping still had willpower and did not exchange his fish catch for Fishing Coins to continue pulling cards.

Instead, he used up all the remaining ten attempts at the Linyue Lake fishing spot.

Seven Small Green Fish, three Big Green Fish.

After his fishing level increased to level 3, the probability of catching higher-quality fish had indeed increased significantly!

Now that both Big and Small Green Fish met the requirements for Pot Heaven exchanges, he was just waiting for the Green Spirit Fish to take the bait.

After Su Ping finished fishing, he returned to Linyue Villa to rest for a while, and just as he was hesitating whether to go back to the Water Blue Star fishing spot to try his luck.

Su Ping suddenly let out an "eh," having perceived a reminder from Spirit Mouse Xiaohui in his mind.

Su Ping hurriedly closed his eyes to strengthen his connection with Spirit Mouse Xiaohui.

Immediately, he soon saw the image transmitted by Xiaohui.

It was among the hundreds of Elite Mouse controlled by Xiaohui.

A few mice hiding in the wilderness had discovered an abnormality in a village.

Anyone who could have these mice was within the territory under the jurisdiction of Jinque City, which counted as the territory of Su Ping, this Inspector. From Xiaohui's relay, Su Ping learned that two black-robed Cultivators leading a group of giant wolves had appeared in this village a few minutes ago.

Entering the village immediately caused a series of screams.

Then came the sounds of scolding and whipping.

Clearly, these black-robed Cultivators driving the giant wolves were not trying to slaughter the village, but were doing something else.

The key was confirming that the opponents should only be Loose Cultivator at the first or second layer of Qi Refining.

Those giant wolves were also suspected to be mortal mountain beasts controlled by beast-taming techniques.

Under the mice's investigation, no other abnormalities appeared in the surroundings.

Su Ping snorted coldly, and after having the butler notify the City Lord Mansion.

He left Linyue Villa and sped away.

These matters of fishing in troubled waters must be crushed in the budding stage! Let them know that this land still has Immortal Sect Cultivators doing their duty!

Otherwise, evil Cultivators from all directions would think his land was easy to bully, and it would be impossible to guard against them all.

If a chain reaction occurred, causing some old monsters to plan to come for a Blood Sacrifice, should he manage it or not? Conversely, as long as he showed enough toughness, the world was so big, where couldn't evil Cultivators go to cause trouble? Su Ping's speed was extremely fast.

The black-robed Cultivators in that village had only just finished organizing the villagers into groups, and all the villagers were being led out of the village entrance, tied together by a rope.

More than a dozen giant wolves with grayish-white fur became restless because they felt the spirit pressure of the Spirit Mouse.

"Not good!"

"A Cultivator is coming!"

"How could they arrive so quickly? We clearly chose the back roads and didn't attract any attention!"

The two black-robed Cultivators sprinted out, saw the rapidly moving afterimage appearing in the distance, and felt panic in their hearts.

They were merely Loose Cultivators who were temporarily moonlighting as evil cultivators.

All they dared to do was rob some mortals to take to certain places to earn a bit of hard-earned money.

In the past, this business wasn't good; the main issue was that there were very few clients willing to pay Spirit Stones, and even fewer mortals worth Spirit Stones!

But during this period, they discovered their luck had turned!

Suddenly, there were several more big clients, and they weren't picky about the goods either—they wanted any living person!

It was just that the quantity was a bit large, and the transportation process was somewhat troublesome.

But these clients were paying in Spirit Stones and Pills!

A client who could pay in Spirit Stones was a good client; whatever difficulties arose, they would choose to find a way to overcome them themselves.

Yet they hadn't expected that the first time they prepared for a big haul, a big payday,

they would run into a Cultivator meddling in their business.

"Dao..."

The older of the two black-robed Cultivators still intended to negotiate with Su Ping to see if they could share some of the profits and resolve the matter peacefully.

Just as he opened his mouth, the black-robed Cultivator widened his eyes as he saw Su Ping's clearly visible Daoist robe and adornments.

"It's an Inspector!"

"Run!"

The bodies of the two black-robed Cultivators tightened abruptly; they didn't even care about the giant wolves anymore and immediately split up to flee!

No one intended to go head-to-head; aside from an anomaly like Su Ping, an Inspector was at the very least a veteran Cultivator at the Mid-stage Qi Refining.

Nor did anyone think to kidnap those villagers to threaten the Inspector.

Ever since the Chiyuan Immortal Sect was established in this territory,

no Cultivator had ever thought that villagers, who were scattered across the land like wild grass, could be considered something that could be used to threaten an opponent.

To make a Cultivator have any misgivings, it had to be at least an important person of the level of a mortal aristocratic family or powerful clan! Even when righteous Cultivators hunted down evil cultivators, it was more often driven by the notion of "this is my territory, I am the master, and I won't allow you to do this."

How could these black-robed Cultivators outrun Su Ping, who had reached Body Refining Small Success?

Su Ping sprinted toward one black-robed Cultivator and severed his legs with a single sword strike.

Spirit Mouse Xiaobai on his shoulder also used its speed to catch up to the other black-robed Cultivator and spat out a Thunder Fire Bead it had been holding in its mouth.

Boom—a loud explosion! The black-robed Cultivator, struck squarely in the back, immediately rolled along the ground like a rag doll for over ten meters before collapsing, gasping his last breath...
