Eternal Thief
491 Starting Evolution!
The once tranquil White Hill Plains were raging with battle cries and the white lands filled with blood as the war between demons and corpses continue.
As for the place where it all started, it was filled with dark clouds and eerie cries which could make a mortal's soul collapse.
These cries were coming from a huge dark gray glob which was continuously trembling as if something desperately wanted to break out.
Right at this moment, a demon in a crimson mask suddenly appeared from the ground like a phantom as it looked at the glob with its cold, dark eyes.
"You did well, Fourth Minister. The empire will remember your sacrifice." His husky voice rang without any emotion. "On behalf of His Imperial Majesty, I'll grant you peace!"
With that, his entire demeanor changed as he gave off an aura of the volcano that was about to erupt!
Thereafter, a thick black and red Qi gushed out from his entire body before the space close to him started to tremble as sparks started to appear, the moment this Qi appeared.
"Begone!
"Demonic Flame Rage!"

Ace had no idea what was happening in the white hill plains, as he was currently deep into the Misty Rain Forest and setting up a place for his retreat.
He had created a deep tunnel and then an underground room, then he set up many arrays and formations to make sure make no one disturbed him or discovered this place until he was done.
Although no one will appear in this dangerous part of Misty Rain Forest, he knew many demons were searching for him right now, so he won't take any chances.
After making sure he didn't leave behind any opening, he finally relaxed. He was on the move for over a month now and he was using his skills contentedly so he felt quite fatigued and wanted to rest.
But he knew time was precious for both him and his house members right now. Although he had given fifteen years for this last mission, it was a different story for his house members.
They didn't have over a decade to prove themselves. He had to start preparing soon.
Furthermore, after his last thievery, he knew any target that can grant 5 Million HP won't be a walk in the park for them. One had to know five million HP were equivalent to fifty million thief points.
Even he only got this kind of thief points out thievery from the treasure pagoda, much less getting it out of a random place.
After resting for half a day, he was at his peak condition and was ready to claim the biggest reward, he was looking forward to most.
"System, I want to claim my final reward!" He declared eagerly.
<strong>=====</strong>
<strong>[Reward: A Clue about Mind Stealing has been claimed!]</strong>
<strong>---</strong>
<strong>[Mind Stealing: Knowledge Sea is the treasure trove of memories. It is endless and inexhaustible. Once a Heaven's Stealer says, 'Memories are like fish in this Knowledge Sea and if one wanted to fish, they need a Fishing Rod!']</strong>
<strong>======</strong>
Ace's ecstatic expression suddenly turned dark like charcoal when he read the so-called 'clue'. He couldn't help but bellow, "Is this your so-called clue?! Fish and fishing rod?!"
<strong>"[System has already given the reward. Please work hard, host.]" </strong>
"Shit! I should've known better!" Ace cussed as he felt he had been cheated big time by the system.
'This isn't a clue but a freaking quote of a busybody who had no better thing to do!'
However, no matter how resentful he was or how much he blamed the system, he knew this stupid quote was all he has right now. He had to be incisive and think of a way to make a breakthrough or he will fail this mission. He had a little over two years left to complete this job mission.
'How could a Heaven's Stealer have said something so meaningless? There has to be something I'm missing!' He quickly calmed down and gawked at the clue!
While Ace was wreaking his brain over the clue he received, inside the thief's house, Noa's private cultivation space.
Her cultivation space wasn't empty anymore. It was filled with the fragrance of herbs, as she had turned half of the space into her herb garden.
Not only this space was miraculous to her cultivation, but she also found it also had an extraordinary effect on herbs and her alchemy comprehension.
She was shocked by this discovery and thanked the 'goddess' wholeheartedly for this space. She then quickly created a herb garden with high-quality Qi soil she found in Ace's thief's space.
She had to admit Ace was really a walking treasure trove; he has too many good things lying around that he didn't seem to care about. So, she took this chance to use them since he said she can take anything.
Not only did she create this high-quality herb garden, which was only inferior to her teacher's herb garden, but she found all the materials she needed to cultivate the Night Demon Body Transformation from 1-Star to 9-Star. She even found materials to concoct refinement liquid from Low-Grade-1 up to Intermediate-Grade-2 and some materials for higher ranks, but they weren't complete sets.
However, she knew she can't concoct the refinement liquid of Grand ranks without Spirit Fire, which made her somewhat depressed.
But she knew she can't be too greedy about this and first she had to complete the first nine-star levels before finding clues about the spirit fire.
Although she was already a Grade-2 Soul Alchemist, concocting these refinement liquids wasn't a joke. Even the one-star refinement liquid was as difficult as creating a nine-star soul pill.
That's why she didn't dare to underestimate this body refinement technique and today she finally created the 1-Star Refinement Liquid in the soul cauldron she got from Ace, which belongs to her teacher.
However, she didn't start immediately despite her excitement. Every Body Refinement Technique came with extreme pain and overbearing suffering.
Some even cause deaths and that's why only strong will people dared to cultivate them, but the benefits outmatched the risks since soul cultivators can get a body as strong as a martial cultivate and make up for their weakness.
As for demons, they had robust bodies like beasts, but this doesn't mean they had an advantage when it comes to body refinement. On the contrary, they had an even bigger risk of dying because the techniques that can make their body power are even more overbearing than a normal cultivator could handle.
There was a clear warning in Night Demon Body Transformation about how overbearing this technique was, and the minimum injury Noa could receive was her meridians being damaged!
This kind of injury would make her useless for one or two years, which she can't afford.
But this won't stop her from cultivating this technique. She had longed for this kind of technique before she met Ace, and she wasn't a coward, either.
There was also a method to make the early stages of the refinement technique a little less overbearing, and that was to make her bloodline grade higher!
If it was another demon without a Demon King Tribe background, they would be extremely helpless and even those Demon King Tribes would be helpless at a certain point, but Noa was not!
She looked at her House Points with ecstasy at this moment.
<strong>_______</strong>
<strong>[House Point(s): 101,350]</strong>
<strong>_______</strong>
She had collected all these HP by completing Ace's missions and doing thieveries in her travels.
Noa had been waiting for this moment for a while now. She commanded with rapture, "Thief Assassin Shop: Evolution and Pill Section!"
<strong>_____</strong>

<strong>_____</strong>
"Goddess, I want the Grade-4 Bloodline Evolution!" She solemnly declared.
<strong>_____</strong>
<strong>[House Member Current Bloodline Level: Grade-1]</strong>
<strong>[Please purchase the Grade-2 Bloodline Evolution, and Grade-3 Bloodline Evolution before Grade-4] </strong>
<strong>[61,000 HP is required to complete the entire process]</strong>
<strong>[Do you want to continue?]</strong>
<strong>_____</strong>
Noa's eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't know she had to achieve lower bloodline evolutions before she could acquire a higher one. She can't jump the process!
Nevertheless, she had a sufficient amount of HP to reach her essential goal, so it didn't change anything. She nodded resolutely.
"Continue!"
<strong>_____</strong>
<strong>[Bloodline Evolution has been started!]</strong>
<strong>[Total Time: 29H:59M:59S]</strong>
<strong>---</strong>
<strong>[Warning: Please don't lose consciousness or the process will stop!] </strong>
<strong>_____</strong>
Thereupon, Noa suddenly felt her entire body heated at an extremely high temperature, her face particularly!
However, she forgot about the rising temperature or the suddenly cracking sounds in her body.
Her eyes widen to the fullest when she felt something suddenly gushing out of her face under her mask.
"T-this…?!!" Her eyes shone with thrill and disbelief. She never thought it was possible at all.
However, the next moment that thrill turned into horror,
<strong>"Ahhhhh…" </strong>
Noa's screams reverberated in the entire space, and it was just the start of her suffering!
