Inside the pouch, fine stitches held a strip of yellow cloth, on which vermilion-dyed silk thread embroidered the four characters: “Yellow Turban Force.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him on the altar table, a tablet of the Yellow Turban Force pressed down on a massive sack capable of holding half a ton of grain—the sack itself was turned inside out, with a white cloth sewn at its center. Feng Xue held the pouch in one hand and a brush in the other, dipping it in water, infusing it with magical power as he repeatedly wrote “Yellow Turban Force” upon the white cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he wrote, the vow energy within the tablet was drawn forth, slowly seeping into the cloth. When all the vow energy had transferred, the Hu Tian Bag would be complete—its final step remaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue wasted no time. He pulled out two jade tablets—one marked “Substitute,” the other “Attach”—and solidified the “Transfer” property’s magical power onto both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Yellow Turban Force’s vow energy began flowing between the two tablets, Feng Xue finally exhaled in relief. Though immature, it had worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nowhere near as good as Jiu Gu’s. I’ll need to replenish the magic every ten days, and it can only carry about six hundred jin—nowhere near the level of Jiu Gu’s, where you can stuff anything in as long as it fits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Feng Xue didn’t care. He grabbed the chair beneath him and shoved it into the pouch. The pouch showed no change, but the sack bulged—not into the shape of a chair, but into a round, spherical lump. Feng Xue estimated that if he dismantled the chair, it would be roughly the same size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming there were no issues, he immediately retrieved the chair, emptied every item from Jiu Gu’s Hu Tian Bag, and began sorting them anew—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Jiu Gu’s magic was profound, Feng Xue didn’t believe the Yin and Yang bags could still function properly after crossing between two worlds. Better to prepare now than panic later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drawing on prior experience, Feng Xue sorted quickly. First came a waterproof bag the size of a folding umbrella, containing three days’ worth of compressed biscuits, two bars of chocolate, a waterproof matchbox, a flint set, a folding knife, a first-aid kit, a memory card, a mobile phone, a solar-powered charger, the Five Elements Jade Seal, a set of jade talismans, a jade belt, two gold bars, a box of large condoms (Note 1), and Mo Ying’s scroll. Feng Xue placed this bag in a specially sewn inner pocket of his clothing—his final, closest safeguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next came the backpack he’d carried when he crossed over—containing his remaining phone, drone, clothes, a small amount of candy and compressed biscuits, the leftover jade belt, jade talismans, jade seal, and the best several core fragments from the original scraps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining rations, medium-grade scraps, study notes (already photographed as backups), spellbooks, and personal items were packed into his own crafted Hu Tian Bag. He did this mainly because he feared the rules of the two worlds might not synchronize after crossing—if the Hu Tian Bag failed, he wouldn’t suffer major losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xue also packed some miscellaneous items into Jiu Gu’s Hu Tian Bag: food, water, the altar table, incense and candles, the lowest-grade scraps, blank tablets—things that took up space, could be replaced if lost, but were useful to carry. One, to observe what happened to the Hu Tian Bag upon crossing; two, to bring extra supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add to that the jade talismans in his pocket, the jade belt around his waist, and the Yin Bag of his own Hu Tian Bag—his total load exceeded sixty jin (Jiu Gu’s bag not counted as burden). Fortunately, Feng Xue’s physical condition had improved rapidly during this period; otherwise, he might not have been able to carry it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After testing everything once, Feng Xue shoved the backpack into Jiu Gu’s Hu Tian Bag and placed his own Hu Tian Bag’s Yin Bag in an inconspicuous spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he wasn’t leaving right now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days had passed since he discovered he was being watched, yet the rat spy had never vanished. Feng Xue had decided: at Zi Shi tonight, precisely as the New Year’s Eve arrived, he would slip away under cover of darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose this moment not for the cover of night, but because New Year’s Eve was the busiest day for all Xuan cultivators—even after evil spirits had been cleared, countless rituals remained to be prepared. From dawn onward, they had to worship their ancestors and respond to invitations from wealthy households across the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only about twenty Xuan cultivators in the entire Lu City, yet the affluent street where Feng Xue’s residence stood held no fewer than forty mansions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guesthouse was not far from the station. He believed that even if his departure was noticed, his pursuer couldn’t catch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a distant branch office far from the Chenghuang Temple, Miss Deng toyed with a mouse on the table. This mouse was far cleaner than its peers, its eyes sharp and lively, resembling a modern pet rat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in this warm, tender moment, a cold wind suddenly swept through the room. Miss Deng’s expression instantly lost its leisurely ease, revealing an air of reliability far beyond her years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiu Taiye, any results?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. I smelled the scent of vow energy—he’s probably gathered enough and is making his Hu Tian Bag at home. By the way, are you really sure he’s suspicious? Or are you just smitten and asking Grandpa to spy on his private life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slightly dry voice echoed beside Miss Deng, and the ear beneath the gray strands flushed faintly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Miss Deng didn’t let the teasing divert her. She spoke seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I have no proof, you’ve noticed the problem with the earth’s sha energy in that area, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I already told you—the anomaly in the earth’s sha has nothing to do with that boy. Or rather, if he truly had the skill to manipulate the earth’s sha to this degree, you’d better give up bothering him.” Gray Jiu Taiye, seeing his attempt to distract her had failed, spoke bluntly—he clearly didn’t want this girl getting entangled in this mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But wasn’t that priest attacked? What if there were two of them—one obvious, one hidden? The shallow cultivator draws attention, while the deep one works in secret? Grandpa, think hard—isn’t there something strange here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he couldn’t dissuade her, Gray Jiu Taiye sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That boy’s daily routine never changes: morning physical training, morning vow energy collection, afternoon spell practice, night cultivation. Except for occasional trips out to buy spell materials, he only rests for a while in the evening. If you had one-third his discipline, you wouldn’t be stuck…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiu Taiye!” Miss Deng cut off his rambling. Suddenly, she asked: “By the way—you said he rests in the evening? What does that rest look like?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing special—just about an hour of complete stillness…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s it!” Miss Deng slammed her palm. “The problem is that hour! We’ll stake out the location this afternoon—find out exactly when it happens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s this one!” Miss Deng slammed her palm down excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We go this afternoon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-20T04:32:49.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a11f93cd526637e75cc612cfc8d31c350f8b4b38507381a73d4ff67c9eb26d27","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-115","i-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-chapter-113",365,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-must-immediately-strike-it-lucky-cover.jpg"]
