Shrouding the Sky: The System Arrived Thirty Years Early

Chapter 73 People from the Purple Mansion

Amidst the crimson earth, Luo Qianqiu stood proudly in the sky, satisfied as he retrieved his Thousand Autumn Mace.

He intentionally tested the power of Yagami's brute force, and the result was quite good. Even if a master of the Four Great Extremes were to face him, he would only be beaten to a pulp.

Wang Shu, Er Lengzi, and Lei Ling had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, so they had no concept of this attack, but Hei Huang's heart trembled.

The Dao Palace Secret Realm unleashed a devastating attack that surpassed the heavens and earth, exceeding its comprehension and letting the Black Emperor know that Luo Qianqiu had only been playing around with him before, never taking it seriously.

Otherwise, even with its bronze head and iron bones, it would be completely unable to withstand the attack and would be severely injured, with broken bones and tendons being the least of its worries.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and loot the corpse. Whoever loots it keeps it." Luo Qianqiu said casually, and then immediately began his work of looting the corpse.

Black Emperor's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to plunder the Bitter Sea and Dao Palace of the dead cultivators.

And so, the man and the dog began their competition, and in no time at all, they had taken all the wealth of more than a hundred cultivators, making a fortune.

"This method works. Kid, you should do this from now on: first, make people jealous, then let them come after you. Make money twice from the same thing." Black King also discovered the beauty of entrapment.

More than a hundred cultivators, some strong, some weak, some rich, some poor, but together they gathered a little over a thousand catties of pure source energy.

Each dog received nearly 500 jin of pure source material, which was divided equally among the dogs.

This is a risk-free business, essentially a windfall, which is hard not to be pleasantly surprised.

After looting the group of cultivators, Luo Qianqiu and his group returned to the stone stronghold, but did not linger, and continued towards the next city.

This time, Er Lengzi and Wang Shu did not come along; only one person and one dog accompanied them. Luo Qianqiu's reason was that taking them would slow down their journey, and the next city was at least a thousand miles away, making the trek difficult for them.

This argument makes sense, but it's a lie. The real reason is that Er Lengzi and his two companions have already had close contact with the Originium, and their bloodlines will awaken soon, so they naturally won't need to stay with him anymore.

Without the three people holding them back, the man and his dog quickly arrived at Hongshan City, more than 1,600 miles away from Shizhai.

Here, Luo Qianqiu began his performance once again, visiting dozens of jade gambling shops in the city, all of which had stones cut on-site.

After a day's work, another mere seven or eight thousand catties of pure source material were brought in, and the Zifu Stone Archway in Hongshan City was once again completely looted.

Undoubtedly, the entire city of Hongshan was shaken, and everyone knew about it.

Outside the city, Black Emperor shook its head and grinned from ear to ear, unable to resist the urge to laugh at the thought of making another fortune later.

The same scene unfolded again. About three hundred miles outside the city, dozens of figures caught up with a man and a dog, demanding they hand over what they were carrying.

All pure sources.

However, the next moment, a terrifying torrent of primordial spirit swept over them, shattering their divine consciousness and causing them to die.

Dozens of figures fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing onto the bare ground with a loud rumble.

"Boy, who exactly are you? Your physical body is powerful, and your primordial spirit is so terrifying!" Black Emperor said as he ran towards the crowd, ready to carry out his corpse-robbing mission.

Luo Qianqiu ignored the Black Emperor's question, focusing only on looting.

"Not bad, not bad, it's almost the same as the harvest in Pingyan City." Black Emperor grinned, in a very good mood.

"Let's go, to the next place," Luo Qianqiu said calmly.

In the days that followed, the man and his dog traveled thousands of miles, constantly appearing in the gambling stone markets of various cities.

Each time, Luo Qianqiu chose to cut the stone on-site, arousing greed in countless people who wanted to kill and steal the treasure.

In the end, however, they all perished without causing Luo Qianqiu any trouble.

Half a month later, Luo Qianqiu finally stopped. The source energy on his body had accumulated to a total of 120,000 jin, which was enough for him to break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Compared to the smooth collection of resources, the panel tasks were much slower.

1121/10000!

This is the text displayed on the panel. The progress has barely reached 10%, and there are still nearly 9,000 people needed to complete the task.

Luo Qianqiu is now facing a situation where making money is easy, but killing people is difficult.

He wasn't the kind of person who would indiscriminately kill innocent people or stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Luo Qianqiu couldn't bring himself to harm strangers who had never provoked him.

That's all for now. The most urgent task is to break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm. As for the panel quests, I can deal with the Northern Bandits when I have time later.

"We don't have enough time!" After saying this, Luo Qianqiu and Hei Huang left the last battlefield and flew towards the Stone Village.

Suddenly, he stopped and grabbed the Black Emperor.

"Kid, what are you doing?" Black Emperor asked, somewhat puzzled.

But it soon understood why Luo Qianqiu had acted that way.

Atop a towering mountain, thousands of feet high, a figure had appeared out of nowhere.

He was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties, dressed in purple, with a full head of black hair flowing down his shoulders, and bright, piercing eyes.

Li gives off a sense of pressure, even a bit of aggression. He looks like a very strong person who wants to control everything.

"Such powerful divine sense! He is clearly just a cultivator in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, yet he was able to detect my presence."

The middle-aged man's tone was indifferent, yet powerful and resonant, like the buzzing of a golden bell, making one's eardrums tremble and the bare ground shake.

He possessed an imposing presence; even just standing there, though not particularly tall, he exuded a grander aura than a crimson mountain.

Without a doubt, this is the kind of power that only comes after one's cultivation has reached a certain level.

"Be careful, this person is a cultivator at the Dragon Transformation Realm!" The Black Emperor was quite knowledgeable and could see through the middle-aged man's cultivation level at a glance.

Dragon Transformation Secret Realm!

The fourth secret realm of the human body. Anyone who reaches this level of cultivation is an elder, even in the most sacred places.

"From the Purple Mansion Holy Land?!" Luo Qianqiu looked at the middle-aged man, guessing his identity.

In recent days, he has visited at least ten branches of the Purple Mansion Sacred Land Stone Archway, and he has been ruthless in gambling away those stone archways until they went bankrupt.

With this happening repeatedly, it's understandable that the Purple Mansion Holy Land might have become aware of it and sent people to suppress and kill him.

"I originally thought you were a fool, which is why you dared to be an enemy of the Purple Mansion, but now it seems that's not the case. You've come here specifically for the Purple Mansion Holy Land." The middle-aged man stared intently at Luo Qianqiu, as if trying to see through him.

Who gave this mere Dao Palace Realm cultivator the audacity to attack the Purple Mansion Stone Workshop so recklessly?

Although the Purple Mansion Holy Land doesn't actually pay much attention to the branch stone archway, such targeted discrimination is something they can't tolerate.

"That's right, I went there specifically for the Purple Mansion Holy Land, but I didn't expect you to react so quickly," Luo Qianqiu said truthfully.

"You ignorant brat, do you even know what kind of existence the Purple Mansion Holy Land is?" The middle-aged man's eyes were cold, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Isn't the Purple Mansion Holy Land just a first-rate power in the Eastern Wilderness? But judging from your tone, it sounds like you're ruling the world." Luo Qianqiu said with some disdain.

Perhaps in the eyes of the masses, the Purple Mansion Holy Land is indeed incredibly powerful, standing tall in the clouds of the Eastern Wilderness.

However, Luo Qianqiu was well aware that the Purple Mansion Holy Land was far inferior to those extreme forces, at best possessing a legendary holy weapon and one or two powerful figures whose strengths would be destroyed in the light of day.

Besides, the strongest one is probably the current Holy Lord.

Such a force, with its profound foundation and legendary sacred weapons, cannot be easily moved unless it means the destruction of the entire clan. The current Holy Lord would not come to hunt down a cultivator from a Dao Palace Secret Realm. The other powerful figures are stationed in various places and would not easily abandon their posts.

Apart from these, the Purple Mansion only has some Supreme Elders left.

At this level, Luo Qianqiu has a chance to turn the tables.

Therefore, Luo Qianqiu is no longer afraid of the Purple Mansion Holy Land, which is why he dares to recklessly gamble away the Purple Mansion Stone Archway.

Of course, Luo Qianqiu's real confidence also came from Jiang Shenwang, who had already become a saint. Even though Jiang was still in the recovery period, he was not someone that the Purple Mansion Holy Land dared to mess with.

"You arrogant frog in a well, you will pay the price for your words and deeds," the middle-aged man said coldly.

The next moment, he moved, and his figure disappeared from the mountaintop.

The middle-aged man transformed into a bolt of lightning, traversing the endless barren land in a single step!

"boom!"

He stood high in the sky, looking down at Luo Qianqiu and the Black Emperor. Then he struck out with a powerful palm, the terrifying palm force surging and overwhelming, causing the void to collapse.

This attack was incredibly terrifying, far surpassing the power of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"Go further away!"

Luo Qianqiu pushed the Black Emperor more than a thousand feet away, then swung his fist, unleashing a surge of divine power, and charged forward.

His figure moved like lightning, incredibly fast, almost instantaneously, and he rushed in front of the middle-aged man, then swung his fist and smashed it hard.
