Chapter 527: Everything Comes Easily (First Update, Requesting Everything)

Even in the Xiao Clan Library, this person still wore a mask on his face.

"Huh, it's him!"

Seeing this figure, Li Changsheng's heart stirred.

The person coming down from the second floor of the library was none other than Xiao Chen, who had had a "brief encounter" with Li Changsheng—the so-called masked man, and the only one who had escaped from Li Changsheng's hands.

More than two months ago, when Li Changsheng was preparing to sneak into the Xiao Clan Manor and was about to kill Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen had suddenly vanished, as if he had disappeared into thin air.

Li Changsheng's targeting of the Xiao Clan was, firstly, to take revenge on Dou Yuanbin and cut off his wings; secondly, for the Xiao Clan's heritage; and thirdly, for Xiao Chen.

Li Changsheng had a deep memory of how Xiao Chen had escaped silently and soundlessly back then; he did not know how Xiao Chen had escaped from his hands, but regardless of the method, there was no reason for him to let it go.

If he could master it, Li Changsheng would gain an additional means of self-preservation.

Of course, it was also possible that it was a unique talent of Xiao Chen's, such as a special ability obtained by relying on a Creation Fruit, though the probability of that was not high.

Compared to over two months ago, Xiao Chen's aura had surged significantly, breaking through from the original First Rank to the Second Rank.

Li Changsheng remained calm on the surface, walking slowly toward Xiao Chen.

This time, no matter what, he could not let this brat slip away.

As soon as he saw Li Changsheng, a look of respect appeared on Xiao Chen's face, and he hurriedly called out: "Clan Elder!"

Li Changsheng did not speak, nodded with a feigned air of seniority, and continued to approach Xiao Chen.

Thinking that Li Changsheng wanted to go to the second floor, Xiao Chen hurriedly stepped aside, pressing himself tightly against the wall.

The first floor of the library was very large, and with so many bookshelves, it was naturally impossible for Xiao Chen to see the two Clan Elders who were in a deep sleep; even if he released his Mental Power, it would not reach them.

Just as Li Changsheng and Xiao Chen were about to pass each other, Li Changsheng launched a fierce attack, his right hand forming a blade as he chopped toward the back of Xiao Chen's neck.

Perhaps he felt the Wind, or perhaps it was some other reason, but in any case, Xiao Chen subconsciously sensed danger.

Yet at this very moment, Li Changsheng unleashed his Mental Shock Secret Technique, and a powerful shockwave instantly acted upon Xiao Chen's Consciousness Sea.

Xiao Chen's head felt like it was splitting; the technique he was about to unleash stopped abruptly, and before he could make another move, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, accompanied by an intense wave of dizziness.

Boom—

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and fainted, his head hitting the floorboards with a heavy thud.

"His reaction was quite fast!"

Li Changsheng evaluated; if he hadn't used Camouflage to pose as a Xiao Clan Elder, greatly lowering Xiao Chen's vigilance, he might not have succeeded.

Looking at the unconscious Xiao Chen with his rear end in the air, Li Changsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart filled with faint excitement.

Within a few breaths, Xiao Chen's clothes were stripped off completely; his body was covered in scars, clearly having been abused.

Li Changsheng searched for a while and found that, apart from a necklace, he had not found anything else.

This guy was so poor he didn't even have a space item!

This was a strangely shaped necklace; its pendant consisted of two large and two small teeth, shaped like miniature ivory, only not as curved as ivory.

"It looks more like a wild boar's tusks, just a bit too small!"

Li Changsheng evaluated silently and subconsciously input his Mental Power, but just like Liu Xudong's Space Ring, the necklace had a Soul Imprint.

Although he could not break through the Soul Imprint, Li Changsheng still faintly sensed that there was a space inside; clearly, this was Xiao Chen's space item.

"It seems this is it!"

Li Changsheng thought to himself; a space necklace with a Soul Imprint was clearly no ordinary item, and he wondered how Xiao Chen had obtained it.

In Li Changsheng's view, either this necklace was strange, or there was some Strange Treasure inside the necklace space; of course, he did not completely rule out that Xiao Chen possessed a special talent.

However, Li Changsheng still specifically took out a bottle containing some red liquid; he poured the liquid from the bottle directly into Xiao Chen's mouth, using both hands to support his head and move it, making him swallow it.

The next moment, Li Changsheng closed his eyes, and images began to emerge in his mind.

In these images, he could see flowing blood, meridians, bones, and internal organs.

That's right, this was the scene inside Xiao Chen's body.

This red liquid had a peculiar effect; as long as one attached their Mental Power to the red liquid and fed the liquid to someone else, one could observe the scene of the liquid flowing inside the other person's body.

Of course, the cost was not small; one portion cost several thousand Soul Crystals, more than the entire net worth of many Monster Tamers.

Soon, Li Changsheng opened his eyes; he could already confirm that there were no foreign objects inside Xiao Chen's body.

At this time, Li Changsheng took out a Jade Bottle and fed a scarlet Alchemical Pill into Xiao Chen's mouth.

This was the Seven-Seven Soul-Dispersing Pill; as the name suggested, without an antidote, the victim would die from the poison after forty-nine days.

This was a poison pill Li Changsheng had obtained from the Langya Liu Clan Brothers; there was no antidote, and only a few types of specialized Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure could neutralize the Seven-Seven Soul-Dispersing Pill.

Additionally, once one became a Fourth Rank Monster Tamer or higher, one could also automatically neutralize the Seven-Seven Soul-Dispersing Pill.

These few types of Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure were all precious and rare items; in such a short time, even with the help of his clan, the possibility of Xiao Chen finding them was almost zero.

Making Xiao Chen swallow the Seven-Seven Soul-Dispersing Pill was mainly to prevent him from using his Earth Walking Technique or his talent for escaping into space.

This way, even if Xiao Chen escaped from Li Changsheng's hands again, death would still be waiting for him.

Unless he was the protagonist!

Additionally, Li Changsheng specifically had Kailan tie Xiao Chen up securely.

Not long after, painful groans issued from Xiao Chen's mouth as he gradually regained consciousness.

Upon seeing Li Changsheng disguised as a Clan Elder, Xiao Chen was first dazed, then his eyes filled with horror.

Xiao Chen could be certain that it was this "Clan Elder" who had just knocked him out.

When he saw the necklace in Li Changsheng's hand, he was even more shocked, a rare look of panic appearing in his eyes.

"Clan Elder, why are you doing this?"

Li Changsheng did not speak, raising his head to signal Kailan.

Kailan understood, directly condensing a Green Leaf Blade a zhang long, slashing toward Xiao Chen with a motion that seemed fast but was actually slow.

Li Changsheng watched Xiao Chen with great interest; he wanted to see if Xiao Chen could escape again.

If he could not escape, Xiao Chen would face death, which would mean that Xiao Chen's previous escape had relied on this necklace or some item within the necklace space.

"No!"

Xiao Chen's expression turned deathly pale, his voice laced with fear and unwillingness.

Crack!

From beginning to end, Xiao Chen never disappeared, having been slain by Kailan's Leaf Blade Slash.

Boom!

Xiao Chen's corpse lay limply on the ground, and scarlet blood began to flow.

"It seems I was overthinking it!"

Li Zhangsheng shook his head, not feeling the slightest regret for his superfluous actions just now.

Ding-dong!

Li Zhangsheng took out the Jade Bottle containing the Starlight Divine Water and placed the necklace directly inside, accelerating the erosion of the Soul Imprint Xiao Chen had attached to the necklace.

After putting away the Jade Bottle, Li Zhangsheng began to scavenge the books, preparing to sweep them all up in one go.

Under the influence of his Mental Power, the books on the first floor of the Library Pavilion flew over one after another, lining up to fly into the opened entrance of his Space Ring.

Relying on this method, it still took Li Zhangsheng over an hour to finish scavenging the first floor.

There was no shortage of these books; Li Zhangsheng filled several Space Rings before he finished packing them all.

During this period, no one entered the Library Pavilion.

Li Zhangsheng glanced at the two Xiao Clan Elders who were still drowsy, then walked to the second floor in two or three steps.

At the entrance of the stairs, there was naturally a layer of Restriction, which could still be opened using the Patriarch Token, and he successfully arrived at the second floor.

Compared to the first floor, there were far fewer books on the second floor, but there were a large number of Secret Techniques and Demon-Taming Arts here, filling two bookshelves.

Li Zhangsheng didn't even look at them and swept them all up in one go.

This time, it took Li Zhangsheng less than half an hour.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the staircase leading to the third floor.

Unexpectedly, when Li Zhangsheng pressed the Patriarch Token against the Restriction, not only did the Restriction fail to function as before, but it instead activated its alarm function.

Ring-a-ling! Ring-a-ling!

A harsh bell sound rang out, appearing exceptionally loud in the silent night; it was feared that more than half of the Xiao Clan Manor could hear it.

With Li Zhangsheng's powerful hearing, he could faintly hear dense and chaotic footsteps rapidly approaching from this direction.

"What a nuisance!"

Li Zhangsheng's expression turned cold, and he ordered Kailan to go to the first floor to finish off the two unconscious Xiao Clan Elders.

"Cold Jade Rabbit, one Purple Jade Radish!"

The Cold Jade Rabbit did not haggle, jumping out of Li Zhangsheng's arms and slapping the Restriction with one paw.

Although the Restriction here was strong, how could it stop the Cold Jade Rabbit?

In less than a breath's time, the Restriction collapsed with a boom, revealing the stairs leading to the third floor.

"What cheap labor!"

Li Zhangsheng muttered silently in his heart; a dignified Demon King-level Cold Jade Rabbit could be bought off with a single Purple Jade Radish.

Of course, this also had to do with Ning Bizhen's instructions to it; otherwise, given the Cold Jade Rabbit's gluttonous and lazy personality, it would not have been so obedient.

The third floor of the Library Pavilion was quite spacious, with a total of only seven bookshelves, containing at most a thousand books.

Among them, there were certainly many unique copies and family studies.

Besides that, there was also a bookshelf holding pieces of Inheritance Jade Slip.

These bookshelves all had one thing in common: every single one was protected by a Restriction.

"Cold Jade Rabbit, ten Purple Jade Radishes, break these Restrictions, and remember not to damage the items inside!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the Cold Jade Rabbit jumped up, and with every strike, it could easily break a Restriction.

By the time Li Zhangsheng finished scavenging, Kailan returned with two Space Rings and handed them to Li Zhangsheng.

Increasingly chaotic footsteps came from inside the Library Pavilion; clearly, more and more people were entering the Library Pavilion, and some had even stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor.

Today's goal: three, pigs, verified!
