If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 13: Night Action
When the woman heard Shen Bai's greeting, she nodded without saying anything.

Zhang Chaofeng stopped abruptly. Knowing that the woman knew the shopkeeper, he couldn't help but look at Shen Bai with an "I see" look.

Shen Bai said expressionlessly: "If you look again, the money will be deducted."

Zhang Chaofeng quickly raised his hand to indicate that he was wrong.

Shen Bai then took Cheng Shuang and walked towards the backyard.

Along the way, Cheng Shuang was very curious.

She originally thought that this master was only staying in Shengyun County for a short while and she was just lucky to meet him.

But what no one expected was that Shen Bai was actually a local citizen.

This pawnshop has been around for quite some time, and the pawnbroker has a good relationship with Shen Bai, which proves that Shen Bai has definitely settled here.

This situation made Cheng Shuang even more curious.

Cheng Shuang thought to herself that if she had this ability, she would have gone to Fenglin Province in high spirits long ago, but Shen Bai was in Shengyun County, which made Cheng Shuang confused.

But she didn't ask, after all, this was Shen Bai's private matter, so Cheng Shuang followed behind with her head down.

……

After entering the yard, Shen Bai took Cheng Shuang to find a place to sit down.

Cheng Shuang was about to speak when he was stopped by Shen Bai.

Shen Bai took out the jade pendant and asked, "How do I activate the power of the strange creature?"

Cheng Shuang's face froze, then he remembered that this person seemed to not understand many things, so he explained: "Using Qi to communicate, you can use the power of the strange creature."

Shen Bai nodded, and then tried to let in a trace of Qi.

His plan was that if he could also use the ability of the monster, it would be a real bargain.

Although there is a usage limit, being able to both use and extract abilities is a double harvest.

But then, Shen Bai discovered that the jade pendant was empty.

"It seems that after extraction, the power within has disappeared."

Shen Bai thought to himself.

After figuring it out, Shen Bai stopped thinking about it and asked.

"Is there any news about the Five Hearts Sect, or rather, any plans?"

Seeing that Shen Bai had finally gotten to the point, Cheng Shuang quickly replied, "Three days from now, the Five Hearts Dharma Assembly will begin. It's said that the location will be Xiyun Mountain, east of Shengyun County."

"I'll come find you then, and we'll blend in together."

Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "Is it so easy to get the position of a follower?"

Cheng Shuang shook his head and said, "No, but this time the Five Hearts Sect has stated that everyone is welcome to participate in the Five Hearts Dharma Assembly. We can just pretend to be the people who want to participate."

Shen Bai fell into deep thought.

"According to this theory, perhaps people from the government will also be dispatched. Would the Five Hearts Sect be so stupid?"

A large number of people went to Xiyun Mountain, and the government suspected the Five Hearts Sect. The leader of the sect could not make such a big fuss in public.

Cheng Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but we only have this one chance to find the flaw in the Five Hearts Sect."

How could Cheng Shuang not know about this obvious mistake?

"And as far as I know, the people in the government office are also preparing for the Five Hearts Dharma Assembly in three days. Now they are all turning their attention to the time after three days."

Shen Bai tapped the table with his fingers and said, "In that case, come back in three days."

Now, there are only these clues, and Cheng Shuang's approach is reasonable.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Cheng Shuang stood up.

She found that she didn't dare to stay in front of Shen Bai for too long. After all, she couldn't understand Shen Bai's character.

Cheng Shuang's elders once said that when encountering such a person with great ability but whose personality is hard to understand, it is best not to have too much contact with him.

Shen Bai did not stop Cheng Shuang. After Cheng Shuang left, he began to practice the Blood Sword Dance on his own.

……

The day passed in Shen Bai's frenzy.

The proficiency of Blood Sword Dance continued to increase. In a short period of time, it increased by more than 100 points, reaching 1400 points.

During this time, Shen Bai had dinner, and after Zhang Chaofeng left, he started working again.

The liver process is naturally very enjoyable.

It might be torture for others, but Shen Bai felt that this rewarding grind was the ultimate joy. "Maybe I'm the hardcore king."

Shen Bai was thinking while working hard.

The blood sword dance is growing, and the night is gradually passing.

……

In the blink of an eye, the first half of the night was over.

Time gradually came to the second half of the night.

Shen Bai drank a bowl of blood and qi medicine and continued to work happily.

Just then, he suddenly stopped.

"There's movement."

Shen Bai could hear slight noises coming from the street outside.

In this dark night, ordinary people cannot hear such subtle movements at all.

Only Shen Bai had Qi in his body and could hear it clearly.

After a little thought, Shen Bai came to the front yard door with his rusty sword.

Through the crack in the door, Shen Bai saw the scene outside.

On the street outside, there were more than a dozen people, still in their pajamas, walking forward with dazed looks on their faces.

At the front of this group of people, a man wearing a black robe, completely covered from head to toe, was holding a long banner and leading the way.

On top of the long banner hung a head with a dull gaze.

The mouth of the head opened and closed like a machine.

From time to time, a sound as small as a mosquito came from the head on the long banner.

"Five hearts facing the sky, free and unfettered..."

This scene was extremely curious, and Shen Bai gripped his sword tightly.

"This group of people seems to have been bewitched by the skull and taken to other places."

"Five Hearts Facing the Sky, and they are from the Five Hearts Sect?"

As he was thinking this, Shen Bai heard the sounds of doors opening one after another.

One after another, people walked out of the rooms on both sides of the street, each with a dazed look on their face, and followed the crowd.

When Shen Bai saw this scene, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"I see. What a brilliant plan."

"Everyone was fooled by this tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!"

"Not three days, but tonight!"

In the morning, Shen Bai heard Cheng Shuang say that the Five Hearts Dharma Assembly would begin in three days.

He was still wondering why the Five Hearts Sect did this with such fanfare, but now he thought it was a diversionary tactic.

When everyone's attention was focused on the past three days, they suddenly took the people away in this way tonight.

No one thought of it.

Shen Bai pondered for a moment, then came up with an idea.

He suddenly opened the door, walked out with a dull expression, and followed the group of people.

Now that you are here, you might as well follow and see what the Five Hearts Sect is up to.

While thinking this, Shen Bai had already walked a long way.

The man in black robe was still leading the way and did not notice that there was an alien mixed in with the crowd.

The crowd continued to move forward.

Shen Bai suddenly saw a familiar face.

Cheng Shuang had a dazed look on his face. He followed not far ahead and, while the man in black robe hadn't noticed, he quietly turned his head and gave Shen Bai a wink.

The corners of Shen Bai's mouth twitched slightly.

Good guy.

Shen Bai felt that the scene before him was particularly similar to the scene they encountered at the Qian family.
