AMSSO-Chapter 39: Took It All

Getting their master’s approval, the two of them were extremely excited.

After letting them bask in their excitement for a while, Mu Shiyue spoke, “Since you’re ready, then hurry up and head out.”

“Okay!” The group immediately straightened up.

By now, the sky was already dark, but since cultivators could go without sleep, some large cities were still brightly lit.

In fact, certain places were even livelier at night!

For cultivators, there wasn’t much difference between day and night.

As long as they didn’t enter places like the Myriad Beasts Forest, other areas generally weren’t too dangerous.

Qin Yiwei was fairly familiar with the place they were heading to, so she began instructing everyone on how to prepare.

Jiang Yunnuan pursed her lips, “Too bad there isn’t a Jiang family identity token!”

Otherwise, she’d definitely haul away everything the Jiang family had!

Qin Yiwei smiled at her, “It’s fine, maybe you’ll get the chance next time?”

Jiang Yunnuan was only grumbling and didn’t dwell on it.

The four of them prepared not only masks and Voice-Changing Pills, but also several sets of clothing.

They were going to disguise themselves from head to toe, minimizing any chance of exposure.

Each of them also carried a storage pouch.

The pouches with erased markings looked no different from ordinary ones. Even if their original owners were here, they definitely wouldn’t recognize them.

After transferring their belongings into the new pouches, they realized there was still plenty of space left.

Using such spacious storage pouches for the first time was truly refreshing!

And since they got them for free, it felt even better!

“Master, we’re heading out,” Qin Yiwei said to Mu Shiyue.

“Go on,” Mu Shiyue nodded, reminding them, “Go early and return early. Be careful.”

After all, they still had to help her plant bamboo.

“Got it!”

The group responded in unison, then set out.

They had made a huge haul today, but unfortunately, among all their spoils, there wasn’t a single flying artifact!

Of course, that was to be expected. Flying artifacts were rare to begin with, and since that group had used theirs to escape, naturally they wouldn’t have any left inside their storage pouches.

Still, Jiang Yunnuan patted her chest and reassured them, “Don’t worry. I’ll work hard on artifact refining and strive to forge flying artifacts as soon as possible!”

She was feeling quite inflated right now.

After successfully refining the mask earlier, her confidence had soared.

She believed she truly did have strong talent in artifact refining.

So, she was very confident in herself going forward.

And besides, they still have their master!

The others also nodded one after another, “Then we’ll be counting on you!”

Chatting as they went, the group quickly made their way toward their destination.

Although they didn’t have flying artifacts, their traveling speed wasn’t slow.

Most importantly, this time they had plenty of spirit stones!

Previously, they hadn’t dared to move too fast. Once their spiritual power was exhausted, they had to stop and slowly recover.

But now, with so many spirit stones on hand, they could replenish their spiritual power at any time. Naturally, they no longer had to waste time on the road.

So, before long, the group arrived at their destination—Yanlin City, a major city located a hundred li away from the Myriad Beasts Forest.

Yanlin City was a massive place, home to over a million residents, and many cultivators lived there.

Nearby was a large sect—Guiyuan Sect.

The Guiyuan Sect had very close ties with the Changtian Sect, where Zhao Hanxue and Xu Chengjun belonged.

In her previous life, after Wanxuan Sect was destroyed, Qin Yiwei had drifted about before finally joining Guiyuan Sect.

It was also where the Zhao family discovered her.

Remembering this, Qin Yiwei’s expression turned a little grim.

But today, her goal was the Zhao family’s and the Xu family’s shops.

Before entering the city, the four had completely changed their appearances. Their faces, voices, and clothing were all different, and they had even put lifts inside their boots to make themselves five centimeters taller.

Like this, who could possibly recognize them?

“Sec—… Sister Wei, are you sure there won’t be a problem?” Jiang Yunnuan almost slipped and said her real name.

This time, not only had they changed their appearances, but they also unified their forms of address.

Qin Yiwei became “Sister Wei,” Jiang Yunnuan was “A-Leng,” Chu Jingzhuo and Xin Jinrui were “A-Qing” and “A-Ming.”

The nicknames had some relation to their real names, but not too directly.

“Of course. Just listen to me,” Qin Yiwei nodded with confidence, then split them into two groups.

Jiang Yunnuan and Chu Jingzhuo would go sell off some items, while she and Xin Jinrui went to withdraw money.

Among today’s spoils were plenty of valuables.

But since they couldn’t openly use these items themselves and risk being exposed, it was safer to sell them.

Jiang Yunnuan’s a bit careless, but paired with the meticulous Chu Jingzhuo, there would be no problem.

Besides, their group needed to scout around first. Once Qin Yiwei and Xin Jinrui retrieved the funds, they could quickly liquidate the goods and minimize risk.

After dividing the tasks, the two groups went their separate ways.

Qin Yiwei and Xin Jinrui, carrying the identity tokens, headed to the Zhao family’s shop.

It was a cloth store.

The cloth sold there wasn’t ordinary fabric.

The Zhao family raised a breed of silkworms that were considered a type of spiritual beast, though extremely low-ranked with no combat ability.

But the silk they produced was both beautiful and tough.

The cloth woven from this silk used complex methods, took a very long time, and was extremely expensive.

Clothing made from it wasn’t just beautiful, it also had defensive properties.

A single bolt of cloth was worth a top-grade spirit stone!

Back then, Qin Yiwei had never once worn such clothing.

Now, stepping into the store for the first time in this life, Qin Yiwei felt a little nervous.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in her chest, and put on a confident smile.

She presented Zhao Hanxue’s identity token and found the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper’s surname was Zhao, called Zhao Chengxin. He’s also a member of the Zhao family.

Zhao Chengxin was from a collateral branch and had little cultivation talent. Even at over forty years old, he was still at the peak of Qi Refining, unable to break through to Foundation Establishment.

So, he could only manage the family businesses.

Looking at the pair before him, Zhao Chengxin was somewhat curious, but thought little of it.

After all, the token was genuine, and Qin Yiwei’s secret code was correct.

“What do the two of you wish to withdraw?”

“Take out everything that can be taken,” Qin Yiwei said calmly.

Zhao Chengxin was startled, “Everything?!”

“Yes,” Qin Yiwei nodded. “Is there a problem?”

Her tone was so natural that Zhao Chengxin found himself doubting.

“No problem. It’s just that if you withdraw everything now, there won’t be any remaining balance,” he explained carefully.

Identity tokens weren’t limitless.

Each token had a corresponding quota, it wasn’t an inexhaustible resource.

“It doesn’t matter.” Qin Yiwei shook her head. “Just do as I say.”

“Alright.”

Zhao Chengxin didn’t press further. After all, Zhao family scions didn’t rely on these quotas to survive.

Anyone with an identity token had parents of high status within the clan and naturally weren’t short of money.

The shop existed mainly to provide support when the token holders needed it.

Soon, Zhao Chengxin brought everything out and also made a record of the token.

Qin Yiwei and Xin Jinrui took the items and left.

Once outside, Xin Jinrui finally let out a big breath, a little excited, “It was that easy?!”

He had been worried there would be trouble!

Qin Yiwei smiled, “It really is that easy.”

After all, who would suspect her true identity?

“Come on, next shop!”

The Xu family sold spiritual tea that was also very valuable.

Following the same process, the two walked out of the Xu family’s store, exchanged a grin, and immediately hurried to where Jiang Yunnuan and the others were waiting.
