There Is a Code of Conduct for Thieves

Chapter 163 Thieves also have their own code of conduct

Li Wuxiang immediately went to see the chicken-headed python, slowed down his speech and lowered his voice: "This... Brother Python? Or sister? Where did you get this thing?"

The chicken-headed python tilted its head and stared at him with one eye for a while, as if trying to figure out what he meant. Then it retracted its head and Li Wuxiang followed it out.

The python stretched its body and swam upwards on the mountain wall at a moderate speed. Li Wuxiang followed it and waited until it reached the top of the mountain. The python continued to travel through the dense forest, crossed two peaks, and finally stopped at the edge of a cliff and looked down.

It was night time, and the bottom of the cliff was pitch black, and no one knew how deep it was.

Li Wuxiang stood at the edge of the cliff and looked around - the two peaks he had passed before were like two barriers, guarding the valley under the cliff. The mountain on the opposite side was a little flatter, and it would not rise up again until a few miles later, so the bottom became a basin that was embraced.

Li Wuxiang turned to look at it: "Here?"

After a while, the python nodded slowly.

"Aren't you going down with me?"

After another while, the python coiled its body backwards, retracted its head, and tilted its head to look at him again.

Li Wuxiang didn't like cold, slippery, and hairless creatures. When he first saw the python in the cave, he felt a little disgusted, but because it had large scales on its body, he felt better.

But now looking at its appearance, he inexplicably felt that it was a bit like a mentally retarded puppy with slow reactions, which made him lose his disgust for it and even found it very interesting.

He smiled at it: "You must not have a name yet, otherwise I'll call you Brother Man or Sister Man - you were caught stealing just now, so you don't dare to go down?"

The python tilted its head to the left and looked at him, then tilted its head to the right and looked at him, and slowly shrank back.

"Okay." Li Wuxiang took off a few blood-green pills from the branch and leaned over to put them on the ground, "You keep these, I'll go down and take a look myself."

He jumped down, climbed on the rock wall a few times, and landed at the bottom.

The valley below was all lush grass, with almost no miscellaneous trees and few fallen leaves. The light in the valley was dim, but Li Wuxiang looked a little further away with the moonlight in the sky and saw a forest with quite gentle ups and downs.

This means that these trees are of different types and heights, and they should be many of the same year growing together, so they look like this - his previous guess was correct, the python got those blood-green pills from a medicinal garden.

The mountains he was in were the Qianshan Mountains. The Tianxin Sect's Yulun Mountain was in this mountain range, and he was less than two hundred miles away from Yulun Mountain... Was this the Tianxin Sect's medicinal herb garden?

This was possible. The sect's medicinal herb garden that produced magical herbs could not be built casually like an ordinary family's vegetable garden. It had to be built in a place with rich spiritual energy, and the location had to be selected based on Feng Shui.

If it was true... then it would be delivered to the door.

Therefore, Li Wuxiang walked carefully into the forest, paying close attention to his feet. The closest to him was a forest of flower crown trees, with branches and leaves stretched out, like a child's palm, and already blooming and bearing fruit. Near the crown were pale yellow flowers, with extremely long stamens standing tall, as if they were a tall crown worn by a person. In the lower branches and leaves, the flowers had already withered, and clusters of thumb-sized fruits with yellow backgrounds and red stripes were hidden in the branches and leaves, looking extremely beautiful.

Just five or six steps away from the forest, a dividing line appeared on the grass. Hidden under the thin grass leaves, it seemed to be a small animal trail. Li Wuxiang tried to reach out and waved his hand above the trail, and immediately felt a burning pain. It should be some kind of restriction to prevent wild animals from mistakenly entering it.

He was not afraid of the pain and stepped over it.

If it was a medicine garden, there might be disciples of the Tianxin Sect guarding it. It is not short from here to Yulun Mountain. The disciples guarding the medicine garden should not go back to the mountain often. Maybe they can catch one and ask about the situation on the mountain.

Li Wuxiang did not take action first, but walked slowly in the forest, seeing many exotic flowers and plants that he had learned about from the world's solution collection. When he passed through the shrubbery and saw a large area of ​​low herb nursery, he saw a little light.

There seemed to be a thatched cottage in the distance, the degree of its haste was between a temporary shed and a proper house, and candlelight shone through the window.

Li Wuxiang took off his clothes, stuffed them into his stomach, and exhaled a long breath. His whole body turned into a thin strip of human skin, which supported his head and swam through the nursery.

There were no people outside the thatched cottage, and there were no more restrictions. Li Wuxiang swam all the way to the bottom of the window, stood up and looked inside with his face sideways.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with compacted black soil, a small bed made of straw, a table, a chair, and a person and a cat.

But that person was not a disciple of Tianxin Sect as he thought, but an old woman. It was hard to tell how old she was, but her hair was white and tied behind her head, and her face was full of wrinkles and age spots. Her eyes should also be blind, with cloudy and white eyeballs. She was wearing a coarse cloth Taoist robe, sitting hunched at the table, and seemed to be holding a piece of candy in her hand, which she was slowly chewing.

When Li Wuxiang saw her, he knew that this would not be a cultivator - because she had no teeth and was blind.

Even if they have just entered the door of foundation building, practitioners should gradually become strong, recover from diseases, and have new teeth.

The light in the room came from the oil lamp on the table, and a big black cat was lying on the bed behind the old woman, curling itself up into a black fur ball, with shiny fur that shone in the dim light.

It was not cold in the valley, so there was no window paper on the windows. There were many insects chirping around, and the sound of the breeze blowing the leaves in the forest. When Li Wuxiang stood up, it should be almost silent.

However, the black cat on the bed seemed to have heard it. Its head was buried under its arms, and it opened one eye at this time - the pupil was golden, like a round golden ball in a ball of black fur.

Li Wuxiang retracted his head, so the black cat stretched out its four legs and stretched its body hard on the bed, even the tip of its tongue came out of its mouth. Then it sat up on the bed again, looked in Li Wuxiang's direction for a while, as if it was in a daze in sleep. Then he turned around and found a more comfortable position, but it was actually exactly the same as before. He lay down again, holding his head with his two front paws and fell asleep.

There were no disciples from the Tianxin Sect, and it looked like an ordinary person and a cat, keeping each other company.

Is it because this garden is not very important to the people of the Tianxin Sect? Or do the disciples of the sect not stay here for a long time and only come to see it occasionally?

But at this time, Li Wuxiang felt that he had no patience to continue studying this matter. He had to solve the wound on his chest as soon as possible.

When a person is healthy and in good spirits, his emotions are usually stable. But if a whole row of big blisters appear on his chest, and they are constantly rubbed by clothes, or if his stomach aches and he just wants to find a place to solve it quickly, then his emotions will be difficult to stabilize.

For example, right now, he feels "impatient". So he must eliminate the pain in his body and minimize the risk of making mistakes and doing stupid things.

He retracted his head, swam through the nursery again, entered the forest, and put on his clothes.

When he came over, he had already chosen the target. Among the numerous exotic flowers and herbs, most of them need to be processed before they can exert their medicinal properties. There are not many that can be taken directly without wasting too much medicinal power like the previous Bixuedan. There are only four other types - Sophora japonica seeds, Half maple beads, Su wood, and Lingyu.

The medicinal power of the fruits of these four medicinal trees is similar to that of Bixuedan, and they are not of much help to him, but quantity can solve the difference in quality - Li Wuxiang estimated that there may be thousands of such medicinal trees in this vast medicinal garden. He took a little from each plant, and the spiritual power he obtained should be enough to cultivate the Golden Cloud without using the power of the elixir.

So he started stealing.

Like a mouse that fell into a rice jar, or a wild monkey that strayed into a peach garden, he picked, ate, and walked. When the medicinal power in his body accumulated to a certain level, he stopped to meditate in the forest and slowly digested the medicinal power.

After about an hour of this, he finally felt that the wound on his chest began to heal gradually under the influence of the medicine, and the pain in his soul was slowly easing.

Knowing that this method really worked, he felt better. After picking more than 200 Mihuazi, he went to the forest of Banfengzhu.

When he walked towards the thatched cottage, he just glanced at the forest from a distance. When he walked into the forest, he found that the planting method of Banfengzhu was different from that of Mihuazi. The former was planted neatly, while Banfengzhu was planted in a circle with 49 plants. In the center of the circle, a separate herb was planted - calf-high, with three thick green leaves, and a round milky yellow bead on the top of a red stem in the middle. The bead was fluorescent and glowed in the night.

This thing made Li Wuxiang stunned, because it was mentioned in the Shijie Collection, and its name was "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top".

This name is extremely domineering, and this thing itself is naturally extremely precious. The book says that if a ten-year-old Sanhua Juding is eaten by an ordinary person, it will have the effect of extending life for more than ten years. If a fifty-year-old one is eaten by a cultivator, it is equivalent to five years of hard practice. If it is a hundred-year-old one, and it has developed fluorescence as seen in front of you, it can almost cleanse the marrow and cut the meridians - if someone with the aptitude of Xue Baoping takes it, although it will not make her a genius, it can also make her aptitude better and her practice go smoothly, and she should live for more than ten years.

These ten years are completely different from the ten years that ordinary people can prolong their lives - this is equivalent to extending the youth and lifespan of a cultivator!

And now if he eats it himself, he doesn't need to walk around and pick it bit by bit from each tree.

After a slight pause, Li Wuxiang immediately walked through this half-maple bead forest again.

There are 980 trees in total, forming 20 circles, with 20 "Three Flowers Gathering on the Top" trees, 6 of which are already 100 years old.

Li Wuxiang walked to one of them, squatted down, and reached out to pick it. But when he was about to touch it, he retracted his hand, looked towards the thatched cottage, and sighed.

Even for the Tianxin Sect, this thing should be very precious. If he picked it tonight, the sect would definitely hold the old woman in the thatched cottage accountable. He didn't like Cheng Peixin and the behavior of the monks of the 36 sects, but the blind old woman was alone in this valley, with cats as company, and it looked pitiful - she had no teeth, sitting alone at night eating candy, her life must be very unhappy.

Then in this situation... how could the cat owner be a bad person?

So he thought it was better to forget it. Otherwise, I just saved a few hours of effort, but the old woman might have lost her life. As for Xue Baoping, once the Tianxin sect's matter is resolved, it won't be too late to come and rob him openly.

He took a few steps back, jumped onto the half maple bead tree, selected the gum beads wrapped in the branches as thick as the mouth of a bowl and put them into his mouth, and then continued to take more and less.

Another hour passed like this, and Li Wuxiang felt that the wound on his chest had healed much - he could easily reach in with his hand, but now it was only a finger wide, and even the pain in his soul was much weaker, leaving only From time to time, there is a stinging pain like a needle.

But that doesn't seem to mean things are getting better. Because according to his estimation, the medicine he had secretly taken in the past two hours should be enough to restore him to his original state. However, starting from two quarters of an hour ago, the wound has almost stopped changing, and Jin Matangzi has not healed at all.

Jin Tangzi and his skin were originally two different things... Could it be that the medicine could heal the wound but not Jin Tangzi? This thing hides his soul, but he doesn't know much about it. If the spiritual energy and medicinal power are not enough, how can he make up for it?

At least now it seems that if Jin Tangzi can't repair it, the wound seems to be unable to heal completely.

He stayed on the low canopy of the Lingyu tree and sighed, thinking that if this medicine garden didn't work, then——

At this time he glanced under the tree and prepared to jump down. But just this one glance almost made him burst out of his skin - squatting under the tree was the black cat in the thatched cottage!

The cat's eyes were wide open, and it was squatting on the grass, looking up at the tree crown, and looking at him. But since he was stealing, he was always on guard, but he didn't notice when the cat walked under the tree!

Is this also a decent monster? !

Li Wuxiang was about to take action when he heard the old woman's voice again. It's not far away, it should be coming from behind him, as if it's also looking at him under the tree——

"When did a little monkey come into the garden? Why is it stealing everywhere?"
