Chapter 367 The Weird Thief
Zhao Xinyun's casual words left Xu Zhenfeng somewhat puzzled.
He had heard of Jingmiao Pavilion. It had branches in dozens of empires throughout the Three Realms Continent. There were so many Heaven-level cultivators in the pavilion that one could not count them with two hands, and even more Earth-level cultivators.
They have magic weapons and monks, and they also have close relations with several alchemy sects.
Several great alchemy sects' masters serve as guest elders in Jingmiao Pavilion.
For an organization that can be said to cover almost all aspects, is there anything that needs help from someone at the Earth Rank like me?
He looked at Zhao Xin in confusion, "Boss Zhao, are you kidding me?"
Zhao Xin's face straightened, and he looked at Xu Zhenfeng and said, "Mr. Xu is a distinguished guest of our pavilion. How could I possibly joke with him like this?"
Xu Zhenfeng nodded, "Then please let Mr. Zhao speak clearly."
Zhao Xin smiled again and said, "Master Xu, why don't we go to the third floor and discuss it in detail?"
Xu Zhenfeng was stunned. How come he was qualified to go to the third floor in Jingmiao Pavilion?
"Okay, then I'll listen to Boss Zhao."
So, this group of people and the monster came to the third floor of Jingmiao Pavilion again.
This place is not like the third floor of the Demon-Destroying Building, which is divided into several rooms.
The entire third floor of Jingmiao Pavilion is open, and the decoration and furnishing of the third floor follows the traditional style of Jingmiao Pavilion.
On the various antique shelves of varying heights, there were various magical instruments that Xu Zhenfeng had never seen on the first or second floor.
The magic tools were so exquisite and their shapes were so unique that even someone like Xu Zhenfeng, who was used to seeing all kinds of exquisite items in his previous life, could not take his eyes away.
Not to mention what kind of magical enhancement effects such a magic weapon will have.
In the middle of the third floor, a set of tables and chairs were placed randomly.
After they sat down, Shangguan Jinyi, the deacon, was reduced to a maid who was responsible for making tea and pouring water.
After drinking tea once, Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, I, an old man, and the great monk Zhou Qishan of the royal family are close friends.
When I first arrived in Jinguan City, Master Zhou was only at the eighth level of the Earth Rank. Once, due to his over-eagerness in practicing, his meridians reversed.
In order to save him, a heavenly-level cultivator must use the flow of his own meridians to correct his reversed meridians.
At that time, there were eighteen Heaven-level cultivators in the Great Shu Kingdom, but none of them dared to risk using their own meridians to correct the reversed meridians of an Earth-level eighth-grade cultivator.
If he is not careful, it is very likely that the meridians of the Heavenly Rank cultivator will also be reversed by the meridians he reversed, making it impossible to recover.
Only I, who took the risk to save Master Zhou, was lucky enough to guide his reversed meridians back to normal. "
Xu Zhenfeng was listening.
He knew that Zhao Xin told him this not to show off his gratitude to the great monk of the royal family of the Great Shu Kingdom for saving his life.
Instead, he told him that the relationship between him and Master Zhou was extraordinary, and that Zhao Xin already knew that he was a member of the demon race.
Seeing Xu Zhenfeng remain silent, Zhao Xin believed that he understood what he meant, and continued:
"Mr. Xu, our Dashu branch of Jingmiao Pavilion has a total of seven stores, opened in seven prosperous cities in Dashu. The branch in Dazhou City has been robbed many times recently."
After saying this, Zhao Xin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, waiting for Xu Zhenfeng to ask the reason.
But Xu Zhenfeng also took a sip of tea without saying a word.
The third floor was quiet for a while. Zhao Xin had no choice but to laugh dryly. He said, "The thief was very cunning. The manager of the Dazhou branch was personally guarding the store, but he couldn't prevent the precious magic tools in the store from being stolen.
To be honest, I also went to the Dazhou branch to guard it for a few days, but I was still unable to prevent the magic weapon from being stolen.
Finally, we invited a Confucian sage to come and investigate, but he couldn't find any clues either. He just said after another theft that there was a faint evil spirit in the store. "
Hearing this, Xu Zhenfeng finally couldn't help but ask, "Demonic energy? Can that Confucian saint be sure?"
"Yes, but the evil spirit was not only very faint, but also dissipated very quickly. Half an hour after the theft, the evil spirit completely disappeared."
Zhao Xin said affirmatively.
Xu Zhenfeng turned around and glanced at Big Bear, who was sitting there bored and teasing the Huangjing doll.
Xiong Da also glanced at him and said, "The demonic aura of the monster is also very faint, but a monster that can steal magic tools right under the nose of a heavenly cultivator is definitely not a monster.
If it is not a demon beast, then it is a monster. However, the monster can control the overflow of demonic energy. Either there is not a trace of demonic energy at all, or the demonic energy is overflowing.
I don't understand what this Master Zhao is talking about. How can a demon that can't control its demonic energy steal things from a Heavenly Rank cultivator? And how can it escape undetected?"
Xiong Da shook his head to show that he didn't understand.
Xu Zhenfeng turned to Zhao Xin and said, "So what Mr. Zhao wants us to do is go to Dazhou City to find the person who stole the magic weapon for Jingmiao Pavilion?"
Zhao Xin smiled and nodded, "That's right. I think since it is something with demonic aura, Master Xu should be able to control such a strange demon."
After he finished speaking, he added, "As long as we can help the branch in Dazhou City solve this problem, the Demon Devouring Wheel will be the gift of thanks from Jingmiao Pavilion to Master Xu."
