Chapter 473 Grave Digging Makes You Rich Quickly
The pit was filled with densely packed restrictions, gleaming with a dangerous light.
"Step aside!"
The old man unleashed several defensive magical artifacts, attempting to force his way in.
Shen Rugo hurriedly said, "Senior, you mustn't! These restrictions are interconnected. Forcibly breaking them will cause self-destruction, and the entire spiritual vein will explode!"
The old man was startled, and after examining the area closely, he broke out in a cold sweat: "As expected, what an insidious arrangement!"
"What should I do?"
Everyone anxiously pressed for answers.
Shen Rugo pondered for a moment: "Give me three days, and perhaps I can find a solution."
"Three days? Who knows if other forces will come looking for us during that time?"
"Exactly, things can get complicated if we wait too long!"
The old man raised his hand to stop the crowd and looked at Shen Rugo: "What do you need?"
"A quiet environment, and some array materials."
Shen Rugo presented several common materials.
The old man immediately ordered people to prepare.
Shen Rugo set up a simple isolation array around the pit, claiming it was to prevent the leakage of the broken restriction and harm to people. In reality, the true function of this array was to isolate internal and external perception.
Once inside the formation, she immediately transformed into a different person.
His hands moved like phantoms, forming hand seals, and streams of spiritual energy were poured into the restriction.
These ancient restrictions held no secrets for her, and within a short hour, she had silently broken through seventy percent of them.
However, she did not completely crack the formation. Instead, she left behind a false core. If someone were to forcefully break the formation, it would detonate the false core, creating the illusion of the spiritual vein self-destruction. The real spiritual vein had already been separated from the false core by her special method.
Over the next two days, Shen Rugo pretended to study the restrictions while secretly extracting spiritual energy from the veins.
On the evening of the third day, she finally broke the seal.
"Senior, you can go in now."
Shen Rugo pretended to look exhausted as she spoke.
The old man was overjoyed and led several trusted followers into the pit.
However, what they saw was the remnant of a spiritual vein that had been mostly depleted, with most of it already drained away by Shen Rugo.
"Why is there so little?"
The old man frowned.
"Perhaps, due to the passage of time, the spiritual energy has naturally dissipated."
Shen Rugo guessed.
Although everyone was disappointed, they still gained something and began digging for the remaining spirit stones.
Just then, a violent explosion was heard outside.
"Oh no, someone has forcibly broken the formation!"
someone exclaimed.
Everyone rushed out of the tomb chamber, only to see another group of people violently attacking the defensive formation they had set up, led by two Nascent Soul cultivators!
"They're from the Netherworld Sect!"
The old man's expression changed drastically.
The two sides were instantly on the verge of conflict.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Shen Rugo used her escape technique to leave quietly. Before leaving, she kindly triggered the mechanism in the tomb chamber, causing the entire cave to collapse.
"The cave is about to collapse! Run!"
In the chaos, no one noticed where the Qi Refining junior cultivator had gone.
Shen Rugo escaped from the valley, glanced back at the dust-covered peaks, and smiled slightly: "Murder and arson bring wealth, while grave robbing brings quick riches. The ancients were right."
A thousand miles away, in a hidden mountain cave.
Shen Rugo set up multiple arrays and began refining the extracted spiritual veins.
The pure spiritual energy flowed like a river into the sea, and the already nearly saturated dantian expanded again, further compressing and transforming the spiritual energy.
Three days later, the spiritual vein was completely refined.
Shen Rugo opened her eyes, her gaze shining brightly. She could feel that she was only one step away from breaking through. As long as she had another spiritual vein of the same size, or enough rare and precious materials, she could try to break through to the Golden Core stage!
"Great."
She stood up and stretched her limbs.
Zhao Cai popped out of the spirit beast pouch, drooling, and asked, "Master, where should we go next to make a fortune?"
Shen Rugo pondered for a moment and contacted Lietian again to inquire about other ruins, but this time Lietian's reply disappointed her, as no new ruins had appeared recently.
"It seems that relics are something you can only come across by chance."
She frowned.
Breaking through to the Golden Core stage requires not only comprehension of the Great Dao, but also at least a spiritual vein like the one mentioned earlier, which is worth tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones. At the current rate at which Star Pavilion makes money, it would take at least half a year.
"We can't wait that long."
A resolute glint flashed in Shen Rugo's eyes.
Since digging up graves is temporarily impossible, there's only one way left: robbery!
She first considered the major sects in the Northwest Region, but quickly shook her head. Although these sects had accumulated wealth, they were not wealthy, and if they took action, it would be easy to expose their identities and bring trouble to the Star Palace.
Therefore, there is only one target left: Wanbaoge. This super merchant guild that spans the Tianyuan Continent is incredibly wealthy. Robbing them would not only clear obstacles for Xingge, but also provide access to a massive amount of resources.
"But the Wanbao Pavilion in the Northwest Region cannot be touched."
Shen Rugo pondered, "They just lost a Nascent Soul Ancestor and are on high alert. If they get robbed, they'll easily suspect the Star Pavilion."
Therefore, the only option is to go to other domains.
Her gaze fell on the Western Regions on the map. Wanbaoge's institutions in the Western Regions were larger and more numerous than those in the Northwest Region. The key was that they were far enough away from the Northwest Region that they were not easy to be exposed.
"Zhao Cai, wanna pull off something big?"
Shen Rugo asked Zhao Cai with a smile.
"He's up to something big?"
Zhao Cai was somewhat puzzled.
"Let's rob Wanbaoge!"
"Rob Wanbaoge? Great! I've had my eye on them for a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Cai's eyes immediately lit up.
The man and the beast hit it off immediately.
Half a month later, in Tianfeng City, Western Regions.
This city is more prosperous than any other city in the Northwest Region, with wide streets, numerous shops, and flying magical artifacts coming and going in the air.
In the heart of the city, a nine-story golden pavilion stands majestically, which is the location of the Wanbaoge branch.
Shen Rugo disguised herself as an ordinary female cultivator, suppressed her cultivation level to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and wandered around the city for three days, figuring out the layout and guard situation of Wanbaoge.
This branch has five Golden Core elders, two Nascent Soul elders, and dozens of Foundation Establishment deacons. There are three underground treasure vaults, each protected by an array.
But for Shen Rugo, none of these were problems.
At midnight, Wanbaoge closes for the night, and the guards change shifts; this is the time when the guards are most relaxed.
Shen Rugo and Zhao Cai quietly appeared in the shadows of the back street of Wanbaoge. She took out twelve level-five bewitching talismans and casually tossed them away. A faint mist spread out, enveloping the entire Wanbaoge.
The guards felt a wave of drowsiness wash over them, their eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and they soon drifted off to sleep.
"Walk."
Shen Rugo flashed into the Wanbao Pavilion like a ghost, with Zhao Cai following closely behind, his eyes darting around, searching for the aura of treasures.
The first underground treasure vault contained ordinary magical artifacts and materials, which Shen Rugo ignored and went straight down to the second floor.
This place contained all sorts of priceless treasures. With a wave of her hand, she put all the treasures on the entire floor into her storage bag.
The third level requires a special token to enter. Too lazy to find a token, Shen Rugo placed her hands on the door, her spiritual energy surging, and forcefully broke through the barrier.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the alarm was triggered, and a piercing siren echoed through the night sky.
