111: Chapter 111 Robbery Success

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

For these ten-plus days, Qin Changsheng had been observing every move of Lin Hao.

After more than ten days of patient exploration, Qin Changsheng had already figured out Lin Hao's daily routine clearly and accurately.

Every morning, Lin Hao would Cultivate the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique" in his small courtyard, and in the afternoon, he would have his followers keep watch outside while he meditated and rested inside the courtyard.

However, every three days, he would go to the Sect market alone, find a tavern to drink heavily, and every single time, he would get dead drunk and stagger back only late at night.

Having figured out Lin Hao's movements, Qin Changsheng already had a plan in his mind.

The "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique" was something Lin Zhentian had spent a huge price to purchase, so Lin Hao would definitely carry it on his person, never letting it leave his side.

Usually, when Lin Hao was Cultivating or meditating in the small courtyard, he would have guards protecting him.

Trying to seize the Cultivation Technique was as difficult as ascending to heaven; any carelessness would startle the snake and alert Lin Zhentian.

Only when he returned drunk, with his consciousness blurred, his Spiritual Qi in chaos, and his guard lowered to the minimum, would it be the best and only opportunity to seize the Cultivation Technique.

This day happened to be the day Lin Hao went to the market to drink.

Qin Changsheng did not delay in the slightest. That evening, he controlled his Incarnation, Hu Nan, and under the cover of night, quietly snuck onto the path Lin Hao would take home.

More than an hour later, a sound of stumbling footsteps suddenly came from afar, accompanied by intermittent singing, growing clearer and closer.

Qin Changsheng controlled Hu Nan, turned slightly, and peered through the gaps in the old branches and leaves toward the outside of the courtyard gate.

He saw a blurry figure stumbling over from afar, footsteps unsteady and swaying, with a strong smell of alcohol radiating from his whole body.

"Hu Nan... after I reach Foundation Establishment, I will definitely make you pay!" Lin Hao cursed loudly as he walked.

Even at this moment, Lin Hao still hated Hu Nan deeply.

In Lin Hao's view, if it weren't for Hu Nan making him lose such big face at the Sect Competition.

He wouldn't have become so wretched.

He wouldn't have been ambushed and had his foundation establishment pill and foundation condensing herb stolen.

He would have reached Foundation Establishment long ago.

Watching the drunken Lin Hao, Qin Changsheng knew this was the best opportunity.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng's gaze also scanned Lin Hao.

He discovered that Lin Hao would subconsciously touch his chest every time.

Clearly, the thing Lin Hao cared about most was there.

Qin Changsheng also understood that the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique" should be right there.

Watching Lin Hao getting closer, Qin Changsheng took a deep breath. A black iron mask he had prepared long ago was instantly taken out from the Storage Pouch space and quickly covered his face, completely concealing Hu Nan's appearance.

The moment the mask was on, Hu Nan's figure moved suddenly!

Like a leopard that had been crouching for a long time, his figure was as light as lightning, Spiritual Qi surged slightly under his feet, and without making any extra sound, he rushed violently toward the swaying Lin Hao not far away.

At this time, Lin Hao was still immersed in the comfort of drunkenness, walking and cursing Hu Nan at the same time.

He believed that the reason he hadn't reached Foundation Establishment today was all Hu Nan's fault.

Also at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, with a Speed so fast that he couldn't react at all.

"Who?!" Lin Hao exclaimed subconsciously, his drunkenness dispelled a little by the sudden movement, a flash of panic in his eyes. He wanted to circulate his Spiritual Qi to resist, but the Spiritual Qi in his body was in complete chaos, unable to condense at all, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

Before he could react, Hu Nan's right hand had already reached out like lightning, precisely reaching toward Lin Hao's lapel, his movements crisp and clean, without any hesitation.

With a soft "rip" sound, Hu Nan's hand easily brushed aside Lin Hao's lapel, and in the next instant, an ancient-looking booklet appeared in Hu Nan's hand.

The moment he succeeded, Hu Nan's figure retreated sharply, then turned and sped away toward the distance.

Not until Hu Nan's figure disappeared did Lin Hao completely come to his senses. The dizziness of drunkenness dissipated by more than half, replaced by extreme panic and anger.

He stumbled back a step, his hands hurriedly touching the inside of his lapel, but where was the Secret Manual?

"My Cultivation Technique! My 'Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique'!" Lin Hao's tone was full of panic and fury. He looked up suddenly, gazing into the distance, but could only see a black afterimage passing quickly under the moonlight, speeding toward the mountain forest, with astonishing Speed.

"Damn it!" Lin Hao's eyes were about to split, and his face turned ashen instantly.

He wanted to chase that person, but the black-clad person's Speed was simply too fast. In just a few breaths, that black afterimage completely disappeared into the dense branches and leaves of the mountain forest, leaving no trace to be seen.

Lin Hao slumped to the ground, his eyes full of fury and unwillingness, his face ashen like the bottom of a pot, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

That was the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique", something the Lin family had spent a huge fortune to find for him, his only reliance to Repair his Dantian and recover his cultivation. Now that it had been stolen by a masked person, how could he not be angry?

However, not long after, Lin Hao calmed down.

He did not make a scene.

Because Lin Hao knew very well that if his father, Lin Zhentian, found out that he had lost the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique" because of drunkenness, with Lin Zhentian's violent and ruthless nature, he would definitely scold him severely, and might even punish him heavily.

After all, he had messed things up because of drunkenness before.

But fortunately, Lin Hao had already memorized most of the content of the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique".

He could still continue to Cultivate the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique".

...

Heavenly Sword Sect.

Outer Sect small courtyard.

Qin Changsheng waved his hand, and an ancient-looking booklet appeared in his hand.

Looking at the small characters "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique" written on the booklet, Qin Changsheng's eyes were full of joy.

He also hadn't expected that this robbery would be so easy.

At the same time, Qin Changsheng also understood that this was because he was lucky to run into the alcohol-loving Lin Hao.

If Lin Hao had stayed in the Law Enforcement Hall all the time, he would have had no chance to obtain the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique".

Qin Changsheng carefully examined the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique".

On this Secret Manual, there were not only complete Cultivation mantras and Spiritual Qi circulation routes, but also many precautions and advanced techniques during the Cultivation process.

Qin Changsheng closed his eyes, his mind immersed in his Sea of Consciousness, carefully studying every detail of the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique".

He discovered that this Cultivation Technique was far more compatible with him than he had imagined.

The Five Elements Spiritual Root compatibility feature perfectly matched his Spiritual Root attributes;

And the Cultivation Technique's fast Spiritual Qi gathering Speed and Dantian nourishing characteristics were a perfect complement to his Golden Trait, "Source of Mana".

"Source of Mana" could provide a continuous stream of pure Spiritual Qi, while the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique" could efficiently absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and circulate Spiritual Qi. The two complemented each other and could bring out each other's advantages to the extreme.

To verify the compatibility of the Cultivation Technique, Qin Changsheng slowly circulated the Spiritual Qi in his body according to the mantras of the "Five Elements Spirit Gathering Technique".

The Spiritual Qi flowed slowly through the Meridians along the routes set by the Cultivation Technique, the Speed was steady and smooth, without any obstruction. The Five Elements Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth seemed to be invisibly guided, gathering into his body continuously, the Speed far exceeding the "Qi Gathering Art" he had Cultivated before, and even faster than he had expected.

After circulating just one small cycle, Qin Changsheng clearly felt that the Spiritual Qi pool in his Dantian had become a bit fuller, the Spiritual Qi had become more pure, and his Meridians had been nourished by the Five Elements Spiritual Qi to become tougher.
