“The Shengling Sect? Steal and rob from other sects?” Qian Duoduo countered.
“Yes. Do you remember the Liang Family Old Ancestor? He could come to our sect, so we can go to their sect too.”
“Just the two of us?”
“Of course not. Don’t you want more Golden Ox? We should plan this carefully.”
From Zhangzuo Dajiu, Qian Duoduo learned that the place he mentioned, which had many Golden Ox, was called the Demon Crow Plains.
The Demon Crow Plains are east of the Magic Crow Mountain Range. The Magic Crow Mountain Range faces their sect’s Phoenix Mountains across the Phoenix River.
The Demon Crow Plains are the Shengling Sect’s large pasture.
Various large Spirit Beast live on the pasture, and the Golden Ox is the most numerous among them.
According to Dajiu, there are at least tens of thousands of them. His Seven-Colored Golden Bull was obtained from the Demon Crow Plains by chance during an Opportunity.
“Alright, Dajiu. Let’s tentatively set it for one month from now; we’ll go to the Demon Crow Plains. I’ll prepare everything.”
Even though this matter of stealing Golden Ox seemed quite crazy.
However, the entire Refining Spirit Sect no longer had any Golden Ox. To arm a Golden Ox Army with Soaring Overlord, they could only steal from the Shengling Sect.
For this one-in-ten-thousand possibility, Qian Duoduo had to put in ten thousand times the effort.
He thought that in a month, spring would surely be in full bloom, and the Golden Ox herds would be able to move about outdoors. That would be the best time to act.
Zhangzuo Dajiu smiled happily, “My nephew has grown up. I really liked the Hundred Refinement Golden Sword from last time.”
After he left, Qian Duoduo took out the Jade Slip for raising tigers that Chu Wannian had given him and read it carefully.
If these four Tiger Cub, born as high-level combat beasts, were to grow up, they would change the pattern of the Five Immortal Mountains.
This was why Chu Wannian was as thick-skinned as a mountain and as eloquent as a spring, insisting on getting one or two Tiger Cub.
After reading the Jade Slip, Qian Duoduo’s heart rate quickened.
According to this Jade Slip for raising tigers, he was confident he could cultivate Spirit Beast with combat power equal to that of the Purple-Forehead Golden Tiger.
Qian Duoduo ran to the manor and saw Huang Guiren. “Starting today, increase Zi’e’s food by fifty percent.” Huang Guiren had already begun refining Magic Treasure, with mid-level first-grade ones being no problem for him.
“That much?” Huang Guiren was a little confused.
“With the Tiger Cub, Zi’e’s nutrition must be guaranteed. If Zi’e’s nutrition is good, the Tiger Cub will grow strong. Oh, right, in the Golden Bull Garden, slaughter those Golden Ox that can’t bear calves.”
“Slaughter them? Each one costs several thousand gold coins!” Huang Guiren was startled.
“The slaughtered meat will be fed to Zi’e. Don’t worry about not having Golden Ox; we’ll have several hundred very soon.”
The Jade Slip for raising tigers said that regularly eating Golden Ox meat, even if it doesn't lead to advancement, will extend one's lifespan.
It meant that Golden Tiger loved to eat Golden Ox meat the most, and regularly eating Golden Ox meat not only made Golden Tiger healthy and live longer but also made it easier to advance.
Expanding the Golden Bull Garden was indeed the right decision. Just because Golden Ox is the best food for Golden Tiger, this trip to steal oxen is imperative.
Turning to the Turtle Garden, Senior Brother was feeding the small Vajra Turtle. Both the small Vajra Turtle and the small Ironclad Black Tortoise were growing very fast. Especially the small Ironclad Black Tortoise, which had already grown to the size of a bowl’s mouth.
“Senior Brother, a mission has arrived.” After he finished feeding his treasures, Qian Duoduo called out softly to him.
Wang Dahei then saw Qian Duoduo and walked out of the Turtle Garden with a smile, “Junior Brother, what kind of turtle eggs have you found for me this time?”
Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes at him. “Turtle eggs? I think you look like a turtle egg.”
Wang Dahei wasn't angry. “If I, Senior Brother, am a turtle egg, then you, Junior Brother, are also a little turtle egg.”
“Let’s talk about serious matters. Two missions, one small and one large. The small one is to ask Senior Brother to add a few more soundproofing Formations and spirit-enhancing Formations to the Tiger Garden.”
“Add more? If you add more, the Tiger Garden’s level will be higher than the Gold Vault’s.”
“To some extent, the Tiger Garden’s level is indeed higher than the Gold Vault’s. Your Vajra Turtle is a precious treasure, and those Tiger Cub are also precious treasures.”
The news of the Tiger Cub is currently still under wraps, known only to a select few. This is also the Sect Leader’s rule.
“What about the big one?” Wang Dahei nodded, not asking what he shouldn’t, only what he should.
“You’ve been to Fengtou Mountain, right?”
“Hmm.” Wang Dahei participated in the Formation layout of the Fengtou Mountain castle.
“East of Fengtou Mountain, across the Phoenix River, is the Shengling Sect’s Magic Crow Mountain Range. We’ve set up Formations on our side of the bank, and they’ve set up Formations on theirs.”
Wang Dahei’s expression became serious. Sect boundary Formations, those were major Formations, tightly defended, and moving one part affected the whole.
“Senior Brother’s mission is to research and create an anti-Formation that will allow me to sneak in quietly.”
Wang Dahei was startled. “What are you going there for? No, you can’t. It’s too dangerous over there; you’re not allowed to go.”
“Palace Lord Tang is taking me; it’ll be the two of us going,” Qian Duoduo whispered.
Wang Dahei still shook his head.
“You two can’t go either. The Shengling Sect, that’s no joke. Last time, their Liang Family Old Ancestor came over, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and almost died here. If you two go, *shivers*... it’s practically suicide. Too dangerous.”
“The two of us are going to steal some things, quietly going and quietly returning. How to bypass the Formation is the crucial key, and after thinking it over, I believe only my Senior Brother can solve this problem.”
Qian Duoduo praised Senior Brother profusely.
Wang Dahei looked at Qian Duoduo. “You’re really not going to fight? That’s good then. I’ll look into it.”
“This matter is quite urgent. It needs to be ready within a month.”
Wang Dahei took a breath and clapped the fish scraps off his hands.
“I’ll go find your Senior Sister Lei and the others to research it together. Don’t worry, this matter will be kept secret.” After speaking, he took out his Golden Sword and flew back to Xiongjin Mountain.
Senior Brother and Senior Sister Lei were now at Condensing Qi Stage Level Seven, wearing orange robes, and had become Inner Sect Disciple.
After arranging the matter of Transmigration through the sect boundary, Qian Duoduo calmed down and thought again.
Just people going and coming back wasn’t enough. The Golden Ox they stole would still need to be transported back. Golden Ox are living creatures; they couldn’t be put into a Storage Pouch, nor into a Golden Toad. The hundreds of Golden Ox they stole could only be transported back using a Winged Vehicle.
“Sigh.” Qian Duoduo sighed.
Currently, there were only two types of Winged Vehicle in the sect: one for transporting people, and one for transporting equipment. There was no Winged Vehicle specifically for transporting Golden Ox.
Since there wasn’t one, he would just have to build it himself.
On the cave ceiling of the Winged Vehicle shed, there were still two large red characters—“Jail.” On the thick iron chains outside the airing area, streaks of electric light still flickered.
Only a very few people knew that this old Jail had been transformed into a secret Winged Vehicle shed.
With the Sect Leader’s permission to participate throughout, Qian Duoduo stepped into the shed with a pounding heart, encountering no obstacles whatsoever.
“Fellow Daoist Bu Huan, welcome.” The Elder in green robes, Tian Shu, was waiting for Qian Duoduo at the door.
Stimulated by him becoming a Fourth-Rank Artifact Refiner, she had already become a Third-Rank Refiner. “Are you here to visit, or to build a vehicle?”
“To build a vehicle.” Qian Duoduo bowed to Tian Shu. Regardless, she had given Qian Duoduo his first Encyclopedia of Weapon Refining, and was one of the people who guided him into Artifact Refining.
“Build a vehicle?” Tian Shu was surprised.
A Winged Vehicle is a complex Dan artifact; only a Third-Rank Refiner can refine one, and the manufacturing process is also relatively long.
As per the Sect Leader’s request, Elder Tian Shu brought Artifact Refiner of Third-Rank and above to focus on secretly manufacturing Winged Vehicle here.
She didn’t understand what Qian Duoduo meant by coming to build a vehicle.
“You all continue with your work; I’m going to develop a new type of Winged Vehicle,” Qian Duoduo explained.
