Chapter 235

The County Magistrate didn't want to make things big. Things that could be solved with spirit stones should be solved with spirit stones as much as possible.

As the County Magistrate of Luofeng County, with the mining industry as the main economic industry, the spirit stones he mastered could be described as massive.

He didn't believe that a mere Foundation Establishment Congwendao Sect disciple's wealth could compare to his?

Now he knew, he had overestimated himself. He wasn't qualified to compare wealth with the eldest son of the Meng family.

It was better to do it himself to steal it; it was economical and affordable.

"Do you think if I offer 10 million spirit stones, the eldest son of the Meng family will be moved?"

The two Golden Core stage cultivators shook their heads hesitantly: "No."

"Good, then my action this time is worth 10 million spirit stones." The County Magistrate tried hard to raise his price.

On the roof, Lu Yang turned his head and asked Meng Jingzhou: "Will you sell it for 10 million spirit stones?"

Meng Jingzhou rolled his eyes: "I would sell it for 500,000 spirit stones. Why would I hold onto a thing that strengthens yang? Am I crazy?"

"Exercising willpower?"

"Get out, get out, get out."

At the same time, the Mo family.

"Head of the family, the mineral shop below reported that a group of people came to the shop during the day, holding a very unique Phoenix Blood Stone, asking if there were similar Phoenix Blood Stones."

"From the description, it looks very much like the kind of Phoenix Blood Stone we have been looking for."

"Oh? Is this true?" The Mo family head's eyes lit up. He didn't expect to finally find this kind of Phoenix Blood Stone.

As the saying goes, merchants don't fight with officials. Although the Mo family had a lot of money and power, they were still insufficient against the County Magistrate.

If he could get this Phoenix Blood Stone, he would have the County Magistrate's handle, and he wouldn't be afraid of the County Magistrate in the future.

"The subordinate plans to do it tonight to steal that Phoenix Blood Stone."

"Tonight? I ask you, who bought the Phoenix Blood Stone, what is their identity, and what is their cultivation? If the other party is in the Spirit Transformation stage, what will you do?"

The subordinate stammered and couldn't answer. He knew he was too anxious to perform in front of the head of the family.

The Mo family head snorted coldly: "This matter cannot be sloppy. You go and find out tomorrow during the day who got the Phoenix Blood Stone. If there is no accident, I will do it myself tomorrow night to steal it!"

"You do it yourself?" The subordinate gasped. Was this kind of thing worth the head of the family taking action?

"Of course, this is evidence that can hold the County Magistrate. It is worth me taking action myself." The Mo family head revealed an excited smile.

The struggle with the County Magistrate was time to turn the offensive.

"What is different about this stone?" After returning to Li Haoran's house, Meng Jingzhou took out the Phoenix Blood Stone and studied it carefully, but didn't see the problem.

"Can Senior Su see the problem?"

Su Shishi shook her head: "I don't know much about the Phoenix Blood Stone. Perhaps only cultivators in weapon refining can know the difference of this Phoenix Blood Stone."

Everyone focused their attention on Li Haoran.

Li Haoran's mouth twitched: "I think you overestimate me too much. It would be about the same if my teacher came."

"Fairy, can you see the problem?" Lu Yang asked the Immortal Fairy for help.

The Immortal Fairy frowned: "There is a smell of blood, and it is very fresh. I don't like it."

"Smell of blood? Very fresh?" Lu Yang had a bad guess.

Could it be that this Phoenix Blood Stone was a clue left by a deceased person?

"By the way, Fairy, did a phoenix really sit down here in Luofeng County?"

The Immortal Fairy nodded: "There is one, but it's not half-surrounding here as Li Haoran said, but beneath our feet."

The Immortal Fairy pointed below: "Beneath the entire Luofeng County, there is the corpse of a Body Integration stage phoenix."

"What should we do?" Li Haoran asked. He didn't expect that while he was home visiting relatives, he would attract the County Magistrate's key attention and take action himself.

Luofeng County was a large county, and the County Magistrate had Spirit Transformation stage cultivation.

"Catch him directly?" Su Shishi, as the one with the highest cultivation in the audience, had priority to speak. Her idea was very simple: just catch the person with the problem.

Lu Yang pondered for a while and said: "It's not easy to take action directly without evidence. We represent the Congwendao Sect when we go out and cannot abuse the Congwendao Sect's law enforcement power. Let's wait for the rabbit, wait for the County Magistrate to come and steal things tomorrow night, record it with the image-recording ball first, and then trouble Senior Su to take action, catch him red-handed!"

"By then, he will have to admit it if he wants to, and he will have to admit it if he doesn't!"

"Good." Su Shishi agreed.

Lu Yang warned everyone: "Also, let's just know about this matter. Junior Brother Li, you don't want your parents to interfere in this matter, right?"

Li Haoran nodded, his tone a bit helpless, not knowing what he thought of: "Based on my understanding of the two of them, it's better not to let them know about this."

"I will also keep it secret from Yanyan." Su Shishi said.

Li Haoran sighed: "Fortunately, Senior Su is here, otherwise I really don't know what to do tomorrow night."

Meng Jingzhou smiled: "What are you afraid of? Don't we have Lu Yang? He defeated the Spirit Transformation stage with the strength of the mid Foundation Establishment stage. With him here, what are you afraid of the County Magistrate?"

Originally, Su Shishi wanted to correct Li Haoran's address for her. She was shocked by the information revealed by Meng Jingzhou.

Defeating the Spirit Transformation stage in the mid Foundation Establishment stage—what kind of eternal number one genius is this?

Was she showing off her skills by teaching him core formation experience?

"Get out!" Lu Yang glared at Meng Jingzhou, knowing that he was retaliating for his mockery just now.

Out of curiosity, Su Shishi kept asking about the specific situation of the cross-level battle. The process of the cross-level battle was too shameful, so Lu Yang refused to tell Su Shishi, and warned Meng Jingzhou and Li Haoran with his eyes—no one is allowed to tell!

During the day, everyone acted as if nothing had happened last night, eating, drinking, and playing.

Lu Yang took the time to ask if any cultivators had gone missing or died recently, and the answer was none.

The sun faded its light, night fell, and the night became more and more intense.

A figure merged with the night and snuck into Li Haoran's house.

The County Magistrate made full preparations, wearing night clothes, wearing a mask, and the clothes had the effect of hiding breath and whereabouts. His voice changed, and his spiritual power fluctuations changed, so that even his own wife couldn't recognize him.

"Should there be no loopholes?" The County Magistrate was doing this for the first time and was a bit nervous, but once he thought that his action was worth 10 million spirit stones, he wasn't nervous anymore.

He opened his spiritual sense and found the Phoenix Blood Stone placed on the head of Meng Jingzhou's bed. Meng Jingzhou was sleeping soundly and didn't notice at all.

Meng Jingzhou was very helpless. He originally wanted to watch the show, but it wouldn't be reasonable for him not to sleep here, so he could only pretend to sleep and listen to Lu Yang's voice live broadcast.

"Found it!"

The County Magistrate was just about to go deep, when he saw another shadow flip over the wall and enter, it was the Mo family head.

The Mo family head's dress was exactly the same as the County Magistrate's, hiding himself tightly, and no one could recognize him.

The two were stunned at the same time, not expecting to meet a fellow traveler here. Is this place so popular?

No, I am the County Magistrate/Head of the family, just acting as a thief for a while.
