Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 41: Creating an opportunity to fish in troubled waters!

After saying goodbye to Xiao Cai, Zhu Que went to the cultivation center to continue his all-night cultivation.

The next day, in the evening.

Zhu Que handed the two replicas of the artifact-controlling gauntlets to Wu Qing, and Xiao Cai also brought him something—

An advanced breathing technique called "Cold Wheel Breathing Technique".

Unlike the "Cloud Breathing Technique", the "Cold Wheel Breathing Technique" emphasizes using the spirit to guide the qi and using intention to lock the spirit.

When breathing in and circulating spiritual energy, it does not flow naturally along the meridians.

Instead, it uses the dantian and dantian as the core, constructing a spiral structure resembling a "moon" within the eight extraordinary meridians.

When spiritual energy enters the dantian (energy center), it can instantly enter the "lunar cycle".

Zhu Que was already thoroughly familiar with the Cloud Breathing Technique.

After understanding the operating logic of the Cold Wheel Breathing Technique, one can quickly apply it to other situations and easily get started.

The Cold Wheel Breathing Technique has a very obvious advantage: it has a higher utilization rate of spiritual energy and almost no ineffective loss.

After mastering the basics, Zhu Que clearly felt that his cultivation speed had been greatly increased once again.

Besides.

Xiao Cai also brought him several books on magic and martial arts.

However, after learning about the existence of "infusion-type spiritual artifacts," Zhu Que no longer intended to waste time reading books.

Learning magic and martial arts through books is too inefficient.

As long as a magical artifact of the infusion type is replicated, his shortcomings in magic and martial arts can be instantly eliminated.

Time flies.

Five days passed quickly.

The day that had been agreed upon with Song Wugui finally arrived.

As evening fell, Zhu Que returned to the Xilan Research Institute after handing over the two artifact-controlling gauntlets.

"Brother Song, I'm here."

"Nothing's happened these past few days, has anything? Your beastly farm manager hasn't found out about your cultivation, has he?"

Upon seeing him, Song Wugui immediately inquired.

"Not yet," Zhu Que sighed, feigning helplessness, "but it won't be long before it's too late."

Song Wugui nodded, his expression slightly troubled:

"We'll have to wait two more days for that special magical artifact. That senior is away these past few days and probably won't be back for another two days."

"Two days later..." Zhu Que pondered for a moment, "No problem, I should be able to hold on for another two days."

"What do you say for today? How about we try going into the Time Sequence Secret Realm again? Maybe we can break through half an hour today?" Song Wugui asked with a smile.

"Can."

Zhu Que nodded slightly, entered the Time Sequence Secret Realm pod and stayed for a while, but still came out before the full half hour was up.

Afterwards, he helped Song Wugui with chores as usual, and finally cleaned the Time Sequence Secret Realm pod again with great care.

"Brother Song, I'll come back in two days."

"Okay, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Zhu Que bid farewell to Song Wugui and left the Xilan Research Institute.

Under the cover of night, Jinfeng Town is exceptionally lively, with bright lights illuminating both sides of the streets and neon lights casting a colorful glow on the road.

The restaurant was bustling with people, and the charcoal fires at the street stalls were crackling, with the aroma of meat and oil filling the night air.

Everything was so peaceful and prosperous, with no sign of the streets being full of homeless people late at night.

Zhu Que walked along the side of the street.

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing siren blared behind them—

"Waaah—waaah—"

Zhu Que felt a slight tightness in his heart and subconsciously turned his head to look.

More than a dozen police cars, their lights flashing and sirens blaring, sped past, cutting through the night.

Zhu Que breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the police car drive away.

This is why people with a guilty conscience will instinctively tense up when they hear a police siren, even if they haven't been exposed.

Just then.

His phone suddenly vibrated twice in his pocket.

"Buzzing—"

That was Jiang Hu's phone. After Zhu Que set it up, it would only vibrate in this way under one condition—

The wolf pack has issued a new mission.

Zhu Que took out his phone, opened the chat app, and glanced at it.

Sure enough, someone posted a task in the "wolf pack" group, with a time limit to complete it, but no limit on the number of participants.

[Make disturbances at the following locations in Jinfeng Town, on a large enough scale to attract police attention. Record the entire incident yourself, and payment will be made based on the records afterwards.]

The designated locations are as follows: Guangyi Square area, Lingwang Operations and Maintenance Station No. 45, Nangang Container Terminal, Old Town Railway Station transfer hall, Beijiao Logistics Park temporary storage area...

Zhu Que looked at these dozen or so locations, all of which were places where the police would absolutely not sit idly by if something happened.

Subsequently, people in the group began to comment and reply.

"What's going on? Are they issuing more missions to divert police resources?"

"What good stuff did you steal?"

"It's not something big, is it?"

"..."

Upon seeing the comments, Zhu Que suddenly realized what was going on.

This group must have robbed something. By issuing this mission, they intend to cause trouble simultaneously in Jinfeng Town, diverting police resources and creating an escape route.

Just then.

Suddenly someone posted a comment that ignited the entire group chat—

"Holy crap! I just heard from the police that you guys stole over a dozen spirit-infused artifacts from Starry Sky Spirit Artifact City?!"

"No wonder the entire police force of Jinfeng Town was mobilized, that's impressive!"

Infuse the artifact with spiritual energy!

This group actually robbed over a dozen magical artifacts. I wonder what grade of spells and martial arts techniques they were…

Zhu Que's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt a surge of heat in his heart.

If he could create an analysis and imitation, regardless of the type of magic or martial arts, it would be a huge boost for him.

However, he could only think about it.

Crimes of this caliber are simply not something he should be involved in right now.

After a while.

Zhu Que arrived at the Hope Self-Cultivation Center. Just as he entered the intermediate cultivation room, suddenly—

"Boom!!"

A deafening explosion came from afar, making the glass of the intermediate training room vibrate.

Zhu Que walked quickly to the window and looked into the distance.

In the night sky.

In the distance, a tower was engulfed in flames, the aftershocks of the explosion turning the night sky crimson.

"That's... Starry Sky Spirit Artifact City!"

Zhu Que was taken aback, recognizing the tower as the location.

Starry Sky Spiritual Artifact City is the most famous high-end spiritual artifact trading market in Jinfeng Town.

They specialize in selling high-priced, limited-edition magical artifacts, and their security is extremely tight on weekdays; even getting close requires identity verification.

This is also the place where the robbers just made their move.

"Are they fighting with the police?"

Curious, Zhu Que turned to look at the map of Jinfeng Town on the wall, and then at the dozen or so locations mentioned in the "Wolf Pack" mission.

He made a somewhat surprising discovery—

These locations were not chosen randomly at all.

If you draw a circular area around those locations, you'll find that more than a dozen locations are concentrated in three directions.

There is only a noticeable gap on the west side.

"In other words..."

"The west side is their escape route."

Zhu Que's gaze slowly moved, looking at the area on the west side of the map, a strange restlessness stirring within him.

Because the Hope Self-Cultivation Center where he was at the moment was located directly to the west of Starry Sky Spiritual Artifact City.

If they run in a straight line, this is the place they will inevitably pass through!

"Maybe……"

"This could create an opportunity to fish in troubled waters!"

Zhu Que glanced at the night sky, which was reddened by the firelight, took out Jiang Hu's phone, and dialed the police.

"Hello, I need to report a crime. The robbers who robbed Xingque Spiritual Artifact City, their escape route is..."
