Chapter 272 Cloud Thief
The leader turned his head and ignored Ma Huan. He stared at the cave with a burning gaze. He must get the strange beast inside. This was related to his promotion. He had been planning this since he got the inheritance.

Now we are just one step away, but unfortunately Ma Huan messed it up!
"Niu Dang, use your Baizun magical power to see if there is any good wine nearby." The leader looked at the cave and ordered the ferocious man next to him.

The man named Niu Dang immediately used Bai Zun's magical power to look for some fine wine nearby.

As long as there is good wine within a mile radius, he can use his magical powers to smell it out.

The man in black needs so much fine wine because he wants to lure the strange beast in the cave out, but the beast requires many different kinds of fine wine to lure it out.

Now we’re just missing one kind of wine. Since we failed to get the Monkey Wine, we’ll have to find another one.

As for why they didn't buy it, it was because they were on the killing orders of some forces. They were all familiar faces, and it would be a big trouble if they were discovered by those forces.

Liu Xun's Cloud City had flown not far and was about to go upwards when Tao inadvertently looked down through the hole in the cloud soil and saw a ray of light emerging in the dark rainy night below.

He rubbed his eyes, then opened his mouth and shouted, "Look, is that Yun Zhi's light?"

Tao's shout stopped everyone. Tang squatted down and looked down from the hole. He patted Tao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you have discovered a kind of cloud plant."

Tao was right, it was indeed a cloud plant.

But in the heavy rain, the light was dim, and Tang's bright sand acupuncture could improve eyesight, so he could see more clearly.

Several people immediately reported the matter to the Immortal Lord.

Once you discover a cloud plant, you naturally can't miss it, so Liu Xun once again pressed down the cloud city that had just taken off.

Qianzhi carried the cloud city slowly down, and the citizens gathered on the top of the city, ready to transplant the cloud plants as soon as they stopped.

The wind pressure from Yuncheng blew away the rain curtains around, allowing Liu Xun to see the situation below clearly.

This is a bamboo forest. It is not very large and appears very compact surrounded by large trees.

The cloud plant is in this bamboo forest, and its soft light appears and disappears in the rain.

The piece of light that was white with a hint of black should be a cloud plant that was about to transform into black, but at this moment it was still at the top level of white.

Liu Xun came to Yunzhi and saw a black bamboo as big as a Buddha's belly. The sight was a bit strange. It turned out to be a drunken arhat.

This is one of the best white visions Liu Xun has ever seen.

Unfortunately, due to its quality, even the vision of the Drunken Arhat cannot make this black bamboo a famous plant.

The reputation of a truly famous plant is widely spread, and each one is sought after by thousands of people.

Liu Xun shook his head and threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind.

A celestial immortal does not grow up by relying on a single famous cloud plant, but rather on thousands of other things, only when he has enough foundation can he escape from the mundane world.

Although Liu Xun did not open up the cloud plant volume in the Wilderness Sutra, he recognized most of the cloud plants.

The top-grade white-colored [Wine Buddha Bamboo] stores fine wine in its Buddha-belly-like bamboo body. In a non-cloud soil environment, the wine accumulates slowly, but in cloud soil, the cloud essence can be extracted into the wine. Drinking the wine in the bamboo is equivalent to swallowing the cloud essence.

Affected by the vision of the Drunken Arhat, the cloud essence extracted from the Drunken Buddha Bamboo will be transformed, and that part of the soul essence will have a stabilizing effect.

The shell fungus cloud plant that Liu Xun had obtained before, with its wind-blown strong grass phenomenon, could give the soul essence a toughness effect.

Toughness and stability are actually somewhat similar, but stability is superior in some cases.

For example, if this part of soul energy is used to arrange a cloud formation, the cloud formation will be less likely to collapse when impacted by external forces.

It can be said that the effect of the vision on soul essence is the second benefit of cloud plants besides their ability to refine cloud essence.

In Liu Xun's impression, the Drunken Arhat vision can be ranked among the top ten visions of Baicai.

If the Drunken Buddha Bamboo can transform into a black cloud plant, its vision should become the even more amazing Drunken Maitreya.

Liu Xun walked around the Drunken Buddha Bamboo, thinking about how to transplant it.

Because a long time has passed, Liu Xunde recalled it again.

He first took an iron dagger from Yuncheng and cut the thick bamboo body of the Jiufo Bamboo.

A large amount of wine instantly came out from the knife mark.

Liu Xun used an animal skin bag to collect all the wine. The strong smell of wine was so tempting that the citizens nearby couldn't help licking their lips after smelling it.

These wines are the fine wines that the Wine Buddha Bamboo has accumulated over a long period of time. Although they taste good and are even treasures in the eyes of some wine immortals in heaven, storing them in the bamboo body and transplanting them to the cloud soil in the future will affect the purity of the wine transformed from the cloud essence.

So Liu Xun wanted to move the bamboo wine out first.

After receiving the wine, Liu Xun threw the animal skin bag to Tang. The man immediately held the animal skin bag happily, ignoring the gazes of the wine-loving citizens nearby.

Liu Xun bent down and placed his hand on the roots of the Drunken Buddha Bamboo, releasing his soul energy to carefully feel its root system.

Because the wine bamboo is so thick, its root system spreads very long.

If you fail to carefully remove these roots and injure the Bamboo, it may cause its quality to drop.

Liu Xun has extensive experience in transplanting cloud plants, so his methods are naturally not rough.

Just as Liu Xun was carefully identifying the roots of the Drunken Buddha Bamboo and moving them out one by one, a voice was heard not far away.

"Boss, I smell some good wine nearby, but there is a Yuncheng City ahead. Could it be that the wine is in the city?" Niu Dang's voice was rough and loud, and his words were full of roughness.

"I want the wine, and you can take care of Yun City as well!" The leader of the men in black snorted.

They only took two steps before they bumped into Liu Xun and others.

The group of men in black didn't know there were people here, and they just thought that Yun Cheng was resting on the treetops. But when they saw the glowing cloud plant in front of Liu Xun, their eyes suddenly became greedy: "Boy, put down the cloud plant in your hand!"

When Ma Huan saw Liu Xun's face, he was slightly startled, his eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his head. He did not tell the leader that Liu Xun had killed the Monkey King.

Liu Xun stood up straight, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The boss?

This is not some bandit territory.

There is only one possibility for these people to be called the boss, and that is that they are cloud thieves.

There are mountain bandits in the mountains, water bandits in the water, and also horse bandits of all kinds.

Among the immortals in heaven, some are plunderers by nature, and their whereabouts are erratic. They are not demons, but they are worse than the demons.

These people are called cloud thieves.

But why would we encounter Cloud Thief here?
Moreover, the Cloud Thieves rarely leave Cloud City and usually stay in Cloud City. Once they choose a target, they will attack the target's Cloud City. They are ferocious and cruel.

The Cloud City of the Cloud Thieves is not like a mountain gate or a family. They will not merge into one, but each will hold its own. They gather together when looting and scatter like birds and beasts at other times. They are highly mobile and come and go quickly, which makes them not easily caught by the mountain gate or family forces.

For individual players, Cloud Thief is more threatening than Magician.

It seemed a bit strange that these cloud thieves appeared on the ground at this time.

"Did you hear that, kid?" Niu Dang grinned, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Liu Xun quickly looked at this group of cloud thieves and found that the highest one was only at the fourth level of Black Lord, so he felt relieved.

He lowered his hand and motioned the citizens behind him to go back to Yuncheng.

Seeing these citizens leaving, the cloud thieves did not stop them. They were staring at the cloud plant in Liu Xun's hand.

Niu Dang sniffed his nose and said, "Boss, the fine wine has been brought into Yuncheng."

The leader of the Cloud Bandits sneered. In a while, Cloud City of this Bai Zun kid would be captured, and the wine would not be able to escape either.

Liu Xun ignored these people and continued to move the roots of the Drunken Buddha Bamboo. Only a few main roots were left.

The hot-tempered Cloud Thieves were furious and wanted to use their Cloud Magic, but were stopped by the Cloud Thieves leader.

It doesn't matter if this kid dies, but it would be bad if Yunzhi was destroyed.

A wild cloud plant is very valuable. Whether you use it yourself or sell it, it can offset several robberies from them.
