Chu Li took the treasures from the Imperial Residence of King An as if he was taking something out of his pocket.
Although King An's defense of the treasure trove was tight, it was not as good as his own defense.
Chu Li silently entered the treasure vault. He did not touch any of the enviable treasured swords, knives, or treasured toys. He only took the jade statue of the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden.
After retrieving the jade carving, he returned to the Skysoul Institute.
It was already noon, and the sun was bright and warm.
Chu Li sat in the pagoda and stared at the jade sculpture.
Xue carried four dishes and a bowl of soup into the pagoda.
Seeing that Chu Li was holding a jade sculpture in his hands and examining it, she smiled and asked, "Master, what is this?"
"This is good stuff …" Chu Li sighed. "It's really a masterpiece!"
Xue Ling took the wooden plate away and returned to sit opposite Chu Li. She looked at the jade carving and said, "It's just a piece of white jade. What's so good about it?"
She had seen jade carvings since she was young, so she didn't think they were very precious.
The people of the High Duke's Public House never lacked for this. They could buy jade artifacts no matter how expensive they were. It all depended on whether they liked it or not.
Chu Li shook his head. "This is different … Go and get me two pieces of white jade of this size. I want to copy it."
"Then I'll go now." Xue Ling stood up.
Chu Li stared at the jade carving and waved his hand. "We'll talk after dinner! … Tell Bi Liu and the others not to leave in a hurry. Wait until after the wedding. "
"Yes," Xue Ling replied.
Chu Li put down the jade sculpture and shook his head regretfully.
There was indeed nothing strange in the jade carving. There was no inheritance of the Fairy of Jiutian. It must have been completely inherited by Lu Yurong.
Lu Yurong wanted to retrieve this. It might have other uses, or it might help her cultivate, or it might be for her future inheritance. It was very important to her.
He was determined to break through to the Enlightened Master's Boundary, so he was not afraid of Lu Yurong's strong martial arts. He did not want to keep the jade sculpture for himself.

After eating, Chu Li first found a few stones to practice his carving skills.
He had the Omniscient Mirror, which allowed him to observe down to the smallest detail. He also had fine control over his own body, wielding the carving knife like a sword. In a short period of time, his carving skills had reached the pinnacle, reaching the level of a Master.
Looking at the stone sculptures, he nodded in satisfaction.
Such carvings were helpful to the cultivation of sword techniques.
Xue Ling quickly got two pieces of white jade and made her own decisions. She also found three boxes.
Chu Li wielded his blade swiftly and quickly carved the Elusive Ninth Heaven Fairy from a piece of white jade. Then, he carved another piece.
"Which of these two is more similar?" Chu Li pointed and looked at Xue Ling.
Xue stared at it carefully for a while and shook her head, "It's exactly the same. Master's carving skills are amazing!"
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
"Master, what are you going to do with this?" Xue Ling asked.
Chu Li smiled. "This is for Lu Yurong. Use this to exchange for the help of six Grandmasters."
"She won't take the opportunity to cause trouble, right?" Xue Ling hurriedly asked.
Chu Li smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, I'm on guard!"
He could not see through Lu Yurong's thoughts but he could see through Xi Wu and the others. Whether they were here to cause trouble or not, he could tell at a glance.
He placed the three jade carvings together. Although they were exactly the same, there was still a slight difference. This slight difference seemed to be in the material, but the material was clearly the same.
This jade statue had a special ability. It stopped getting up and sat back down.
Xue Ling looked at his expression and did not make a sound. She quietly retreated.
Chu Li pushed the Omniscient Mirror to the extreme and used it all on the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden Jade Statue. He could even see every molecule of the jade statue.
The Omniscient Mirror was like a microscope, observing the jade statue inch by inch, trying to find out its secrets.
Unfortunately, even so, he still could not see anything special about the jade statue.
Suddenly, he had an idea. The Heavenly Demonic Energy that was hibernating in his heart suddenly separated a strand like a strand of hair and drilled into the jade statue.
The jade statue suddenly flashed a clear light and a clear image drilled into his mind.
In the misty white clouds, a woman was sitting cross-legged on a cloud. Her body was like colored glass and her hands were forming a strange mudra. There was a red line circulating in her transparent body.
The red line circulated two times. Suddenly, a brilliance fell from the void and continuously entered her body, merging with the red line.
The red line became thicker and faster.
The woman's body became brighter and brighter, emitting a brilliant brilliance.
As the brilliance from the sky continued to pour in, her body became brighter and brighter. In the end, she even became a round sun. Her figure could not be seen clearly, only a ball of light.
Then the image disappeared and everything returned to darkness.
Chu Li opened his eyes and smiled.
This must be the Empyrean Fairy Power!

He once again appeared in the Imperial Residence of King An and returned one of his sculptures to the storehouse. The next moment, he appeared in the backyard of the Ren Public House.
Nine beautiful maids, some were trimming the flowers, some were cutting the trees, some were playing the zither, some were playing the flute, and two were sitting beside Lu Yurong, feeding her snacks and fruits from time to time.
Lu Yurong sat in the gazebo, reading a scroll.
Feeling Chu Li's appearance, she turned her head and looked over.
The nine maids stared at him cautiously.
Chu Li entered the gazebo under their watchful eyes. He put the two boxes on the stone table and smiled. "Fortunately, I did not fail."
Lu Yurong picked up one of the boxes and glanced at him.
"My Lady, let me do it." A maid came forward and snatched the box.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled. He did not comment.
Lu Yurong glared at the maid but did not stop her.
The maid opened the box and then opened the other one.
Two Empyrean Fairy Jade Statues appeared in front of everyone. Both were almost identical.
Chu Li stared at Lu Yurong's almond-shaped eyes.
Lu Yurong glanced at them and reached out to pick up the real Empyrean Fairy Jade Statue. She gently touched it and sighed. "It must have been hard on you!"
Chu Li smiled and did not say anything.
Lu Yurong looked at the other jade statue and picked it up. She looked at it and turned to look at Chu Li. "Which master made this? It's enough to pass off as the real one."
Chu Li pointed at himself.
Lu Yurong scoffed. "You know this too?"
Chu Li said, "I carved two at the same time. One was placed in the Imperial Residence of King An's treasury. I think it can be hidden from him. This one is for Lady Lu to prevent it from being stolen again."
"This time, it will be hard for anyone to steal it!" Lu Yurong scoffed. "He can't see it, he only looks at it! … Alright, thank you. Elder Xi and the others have already set off. I have instructed them to take down the three assassins. "
Chu Li closed fist saluted. "Thank you, Lady Lu. I will take my leave now."
"Who do you think will make a move?" Lu Yurong asked.
Chu Li smiled. "It could be anyone, so we have to be careful. … Goodbye!"
He disappeared from the Ren Public House in a flash.
The nine maids surrounded him and stared at the real Empyrean Fairy Jade Statue. They looked happy.
"My Lady, he is really resourceful!"
"He can steal this from the Imperial Residence of King An. We have to be careful of him!"
"That's right. Our Public House is not as strict as the Imperial Residence of King An!"
"My Lady is the best. You can use him to get this statue back!"
"This way, my cultivation will be faster."
Chu Li was hidden in the dark and nodded.
His guess was right. This statue was really beneficial to their cultivation.
