"Huh?!"
Gu Congwen was dumbfounded. "Mr. Chen, that's not very kind of you! You didn't even tell me that you've done it! "
"I only found out about it today." Chen Xiaobei shrugged. "Why? You don't want to part with the Dongming Grass? "
"This …" Gu Congwen looked at the wooden box and smiled. "Why would I not want to part with the Dongming Grass? Seven days ago, Mr. Chen had helped me earn millions of low-grade Spiritual Stones! Courtesy demands reciprocity. I should have given this Enlightenment Grass to you! "
"Great! You're so nice! I'll give you a share if there's anything good in the future! "Chen Xiaobei smiled and kept the wooden box.
"Oh right! Mr. Chen, I have something else to tell you!"
Gu Congwen said. "Recently, there's a rumor that there's an Overgrown Forest hidden treasure on Overgrown Forest Planet where the Elite Hunting Competition is held. I heard that the Lu Family has found the treasure map! They will use this opportunity to find the treasure! "
"Treasure?"
Chen Xiaobei thought. "The person from the Lu Family who is going to participate in the Elite Hunting Competition is Lu Changwei! There's a strange key in Lu Changwei's storage bracelet. Could it be the key to open the treasure? "
"Mr. Chen, what are you thinking about?" Gu Congwen could tell that Chen Xiaobei was thinking about something.
"I'm thinking if I have a chance to find the treasure!" Chen Xiaobei said with a smile.
"I'm afraid that's going to be difficult … The Lu Family found the treasure and only they have the treasure map. Considering the conflict between you and Master Wei, he will not bring you there!"
"I have my ways if I want to go there. But, is the treasure worth it?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"Do you even have to ask?
Five hundred years ago, there were Overgrown Forest nobles living on Overgrown Forest Planet! They were one of the most powerful people in Northern Wilderness Starfield! They had a lot of resources and a strong foundation!
But then, an unprecedented Beast Horde broke out on Overgrown Forest Planet! The Overgrown Forest nobles were completely wiped out!
"Just before they were exterminated, a group of survivors hid all their resources in a treasure vault! I was planning to escape from the Overgrown Forest Planet first before going back to open the treasure! "
"But before they could escape, they were crushed by the beast tide! The treasury that contains all the resources and heritage of the Overgrown Forest nobles has been buried underground for a long time. "
"Whoever can open that treasury will immediately possess everything that the Overgrown Forest nobles once possessed!"
Gu Congwen's explanation was clear and logical, and it was very detailed.
From this, it could be seen that in the past six days and six nights, these words had spread to every corner of Silver Plume City. Almost everyone could hear them clearly.
"Understood!" Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It seems like I have to think of a way to take a gamble!"
"Take a gamble? Mr. Chen, what are you going to do? "Gu Congwen asked.
"You don't have to worry about that. Look after your shop. I'll talk to you when I come back from Overgrown Forest Planet!" Chen Xiaobei shrugged and left the Chamber of Commerce.
"This …" Gu Congwen frowned. He had a bad feeling about this. Before he could say anything, Chen Xiaobei had already walked away.
…
Chen Xiaobei rushed to the secret space.
He placed hundreds of herbs into the Green Jade Cauldron and 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones at the same time.
Because the Heavenly Dog Biscuit's Special Ability was very powerful, each piece of biscuit required 1,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones' worth of Spiritual Qi to activate the Special Ability.
Now, 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones had been used, and 49,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones to form the Head Piercing Seven Arrows Seal.
With that, Chen Xiaobei had 3,576,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones left. It would not be a problem for him to participate in the Elite Hunting Competition with them.
"There are only three days left before the Elite Hunting Competition. I'm going to the Lu Family tonight to get the treasure map!"
After calculating for a while, Chen Xiaobei decided to absorb 16,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones worth of Spiritual Qi into the Witch Dragon Blood.
Chen Xiaobei was prepared to fight a tough battle. He might need to use the Witch Dragon Transformation more than once. Absorbing Spiritual Qi in advance would not be too late.
After that, Chen Xiaobei inserted 60,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones' worth of Spiritual Equipment into the Blood God's Deity-Killing painting.
Activating the Blood God's Deity-Killing painting required 30,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones. Chen Xiaobei inserted two Spiritual Stones into the painting just in case.
After spending another 76,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei was left with 3.5 million low-grade Spiritual Stones!
"Everything is ready. Time to go!"
Just when Chen Xiaobei was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. He immediately went to look for Old Wang and stored the Head Piercing Seven Arrows Grass Doll into his Infinite Space Ring.
…
Silver Plume City, Inner City, Lu Mansion.
Wearing the Nightstalker Outfit, Chen Xiaobei sneaked into the mansion and began to search carefully.
To Chen Xiaobei's surprise, not long after he entered the mansion, he saw a brightly lit house with all the doors and windows wide open.
Chen Xiaobei walked closer and saw a big map hanging on the wall. Lu Changwei and a few other young men were studying the map.
"Could this be the treasure map?"
Chen Xiaobei thought to himself. "Why would such a precious item be placed in such an obvious place? I'm afraid there's something fishy going on!"
Chen Xiaobei did not rush into the house. Instead, he stood by the window and eavesdropped on their conversation.
"It's already the sixth day! I don't think the assassin will come!"
Lu Changwei sat on the chair with a gloomy look on his face. He was terrified. "If I can't catch the assassin, and I can't find the key to the treasure, my father will definitely punish me … I'm really done for this time …"
"That's impossible … My plan to lure the assassin out of the hole was perfect! There's no way the assassin could resist the temptation!" said Zhu Dachang.
As a matter of fact, his plan was indeed brilliant. It had indeed tempted the assassin and had even successfully lured the assassin over.
Unfortunately, the assassin was Chen Xiaobei's classmate. He was wearing the Nightstalker Outfit. Even if he was standing right in front of them, they would not be able to see him.
On the other hand, their conversation made Chen Xiaobei realize that the key was real and the treasure map was just a trap.
"It seems like I can skip today's battle!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.
Just when he was about to leave, a strange ripple appeared in the air. Then, a crack appeared in the space.
Two silhouettes walked out from the crack.
"I can't believe that my curse didn't work for five days straight. In the end, I still have to come to this planet …" mumbled the shorter man.
