Some time ago.

Step, step, step…

Sand Sculpture City, West District, General's Mansion.

A guard rushed in, knelt down, and respectfully reported:

"General Jin, the Huyan family is about to leave the Sand Sculpture City area. Are we just going to let them leave with the divine remnant so easily? Should we send someone..."

"It's alright, let them go. It's not time to turn against us yet..."

McKin didn't react much to this. He got up from his desk, walked over to the guard, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "How are the ambush preparations in the West District going?"

"The troop deployment is underway and almost complete. General Jin, please rest assured that the deployment will be completed as planned before nightfall..."

After a pause, the guard asked in confusion, "However, there is something I don't understand. General Jin, why are there no troops deployed in these two key locations: the treasury where the remains are stored and the dungeon where the prisoners are held?"

"Hehehe..."

McGinn smirked and laid out his plan in its entirety:

"Based on my deduction, this group of thieves should be divided into two groups. The Holy Envoy Milun wants to get his hands on the divine remains, while the merman has returned to rescue his companions."

"So, those two places are bait. If they are heavily guarded, how can the big fish take the bait?"

His tone exuded confidence, suggesting he was in complete control and had anticipated the enemy's moves.

"What if?" the guard asked after thinking for a moment.

“Nothing is impossible!” McKinney waved his hand.

His tone was full of arrogance as he slowly began to speak:

"That merman captive and the demon slaves in the dungeon are insignificant. As for the divine remnant, a single fragment is taller than a person. Let them move it as they please. How many pieces could they move without using their Star Soul Generals?"

"Heh... as long as the encirclement tightens, they won't be able to escape!"

"General, you are wise!" the guard bowed. "It was my rudeness!"

"No problem. Before dark, transfer a few elite guards from the Royal Guard to relieve the guards in the treasury and dungeon. Have them be ready to report any suspicious activity. As soon as the thieves appear, we'll immediately close in!"

"Yes! I'm resigning!"

The guard rushed out with the order.

"hehe…"

McKinnie clenched his fist, his eyes filled with disdain. "Hmph, the Heavenly Peace Sect, is it? Not only do you covet the divine remains of my Sand Sculpture City, but you're also secretly vying for the Merfolk's inheritance..."

"This time, watch how I, the general, will wipe you all out of this trap!"

squeak-

With the sound of a door opening, the scene shifts to the third basement level of Mai Jiabao Vault.

One after another, enormous fragments of divine remains came into view.

“This Mai family isn’t any better,” Lü Fengxian said, looking at the fragments of remains that were several times taller than a person, and then at the huge electrical box and electric grid next to them. “They don’t even have a decent defensive formation. Their safety level is not even as good as my toilet.”

The cables laid out on the ground were half a person high, so you can imagine how much electricity they carried.

Even the base of this treasure vault, where fragments of remains are stored, is taller than a normal person's. This proportion doesn't seem like a treasure vault built for humans, but rather for Star Soul Generals.

"System, take 70%."

Silently reciting the command, Lü Fengxian casually flicked her wrist, and a virtual black hole appeared. Without alerting the power grid or alarm system, she collected the required divine remnant.

At the end there is a large, solid gold door.

The four large characters “灵丹妙药” (meaning “miracle cure”) are inscribed on the lintel in the script of the Lower Regions.

"Mmm... Ah..."

"屮!"

With both hands on the door, Lü Fengxian exerted all her strength, but the door remained almost completely still. Despite her best efforts, she only managed to push it open a tiny crack, barely enough for a person to pass through.

(If only this container weren't so fragile...)

Although this avatar could share half of the Heavenly Peak cultivation through [Heavenly Net], its physical condition was too poor, and it couldn't open the door that required the use of a Star Soul General.

It should be noted that the vessel in which this incarnation is located, [Xun Xia], is nothing more than a scoundrel.

They are not even as good as the students of the same level in the Mech Martial Arts Academy, so you can imagine how poor their quality is.

"Hey Song, come lend a hand!"

"coming!"

With their combined strength, they finally managed to push open a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

They went inside one after another, and huge refrigerators came into view. Each refrigerator had a different label on it and was neatly arranged in categories.

[Nourishing Yin and Yang], [Strengthening Muscles and Bones]...

Looking at the rows of refrigerators, Lü Fengxian stroked her chin and pondered to herself, "Logically speaking, Elder Jing should be nearing the end of his life. It would be best to prepare a few longevity pills..."

Although he agreed to save Elder Jing, he was completely in the dark and knew nothing about the real situation, so he could only consider all possibilities.

"In which category does the main ingredient of the Longevity Pill, [Boundless Flower], belong again?"

At this moment, Song Yunxiang stopped in front of the refrigerator labeled "[Nourishing Yin and Yang]", "Found it..."

The refrigerator was as tall as three people and looked quite impressive. The cold air escaping from the gaps caused frost to form on our clothes.

The refrigerator door is a little difficult to open, but not much.

"Six Boundless Flowers... There are so many!!"

“What an unexpected surprise!”

Opening the refrigerator, a row of endless flowers comes into view, just within easy reach, saving me a lot of trouble.

Swah——

With lightning speed, Lü Fengxian plucked out a Boundless Flower. "Boundless Flower, I only want this one. I know you'll be very useful, so I won't fight you for it..."

After a pause, he continued, "Don't misunderstand, the remaining spiritual herbs will still be split 70/30."

Then, silently contact the Skynet system:

"System, analyze the ingredients and see if you can synthesize it."

【bite…】

[Analysis in progress...]

[The ingredients are... Analysis successful...]

[The Boundless Flower Seed is now available in the system shop for 1000 emotion points.]

[Super fertilizer and super hoe are now available together.]

"Do I have to grow this Boundless Flower myself?" Lu Fengxian asked, puzzled. "Couldn't you just synthesize a mature plant for me directly?"

[Host, this system's primary focus is on mecha; it's already quite impressive that its secondary function has progressed this well...]

"Fine, I'll grow it myself then..."

"By the way, help me fill each kind of herb to seventy percent full. Be careful with every refrigerator and every row of herbs, don't miss any."

Okay, okay...

Meanwhile, the remaining 30% had already been taken by Song Yunxiang.

The second layer of the treasure trove remained largely untouched out of humanitarian concern, leaving the Mai family some leeway. However, these top-tier resources in the third layer could not be left to the Mai family, neither for public nor private reasons.

People can be kind, but they cannot be kind without limits.

Moreover, a poor family is easier to control than a rich family.

In this way, there would be no fear that Mai Tie might develop disloyal intentions in the future.

After all, Mai Jia is just an empty shell now; all the resources are in his own hands.

They were extremely cautious, far too cautious.

"Old Lu, let's go."

As he spoke, Song Yunxiang casually set up an illusionary array, causing the entire treasure vault of the Mai family to be shrouded in a "perfect" illusionary projection, which was enough to fool people.

"Ah."

Wow—

He casually opened the back door of the third treasure vault, only to find it led directly to the third basement level of the dungeon, where he happened to see Qinglong and Lankun busy rescuing Lanli.

"Uncle Li... Uncle Li... wake up!"
