Chapter 33: Stealing the Gold

Perfection's concealment technique and Perfection's Windborne Footsteps allowed Song Fulu to shuttle through the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters like a ghost, even the monsters and anomalies couldn't detect Song Fulu's trace.

Based on the information gathered in the past few days, Song Fulu arrived at Ma Qingshan's temporary residence in the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters. The Pharmacy Department had been burned down and was currently being rebuilt. The higher-ranking members of the Pharmacy Department could only temporarily stay elsewhere.

"There are too many monsters and demons, find a chance to escape."

"We are just pharmacists, how can we deal with monsters and demons?"

"Not only monsters and demons, but also many martial artists."

...

Many members of the Pharmacy Department were anxiously running around, trying to escape the disaster, but they were easily killed by the monsters and anomalies.

Song Fulu ignored these unfamiliar colleagues and focused on finding Ma Qingshan's trace, but even after searching the surrounding courtyards, he still couldn't find him.

Seeing that the enemies were increasing, Song Fulu could only temporarily give up and sneak towards the temporary warehouse of the Pharmacy Department.

Only a few people knew about this temporary warehouse, and coupled with the rampant monsters and anomalies in the area, no one had entered it yet.

Song Fulu broke through a hole from the side and sneaked in. After passing through several secret doors, he saw various pills and medicines spread throughout the stone chambers. Qi and Blood Pills, Five Supplement Pills, Blood Essence Pills, Three Steps Back... He even discovered a 300-year-old Blood Ginseng.

There were too many good things, and Song Fulu couldn't take them all. He could only select the top-grade pills and medicinal materials that were comparable to top-grade Mortal Level, quickly filling a large bag. He almost took away all the pills and medicinal materials above top-grade Mortal Level in the stone chambers.

If he wasn't worried that carrying another bag would affect his movements and make it easy for the monsters and anomalies to discover and pursue him, Song Fulu could have taken more.

Regretfully sighing, Song Fulu quickly sneaked out with the large bag on his back.

In the dark night, the battle was fierce, with monsters, anomalies, and martial artists fighting brutally. Not many people noticed Song Fulu.

With his full harvest, Song Fulu quickly escaped from the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters, hiding the bag full of precious pills and medicines in a safe place. Then he turned around and sneaked back into the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters.

On the way, Song Fulu encountered Lu Lifu and Lu Dagen. After thinking for a moment, he directly knocked them unconscious and placed them in a safe place. This way, it would be safer and he wouldn't expose himself.

After entering the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters, Song Fulu didn't go to the temporary warehouse of the Pharmacy Department. He had already looted most of the good things there, and he didn't care about the remaining low-grade Mortal Level and mid-grade Mortal Level medicines. Instead, he went to search for more valuable items, such as the top-grade armor and hidden weapons from the Blacksmith Department, century-old ginseng from the Planting Department, special materials from the Formation Department...

"Surrender the supreme classics hidden in the top layer secret compartment of the Golden Classics Tower, or face death!"

"This is the highest secret scripture of our Crimson Tiger Gang. You won't be able to take it away!"

...

While passing through a bamboo forest, Song Fulu saw several martial artists from major families chasing a martial artist from the Crimson Tiger Gang. Both sides had a cultivation level of Interior Refinement Third Layer or above, making them a group of experts second only to those in the Earth Gate Realm.

The supreme classics they mentioned also excited Song Fulu. He didn't expect that there would be the Crimson Tiger Gang's highest secret scripture hidden in the secret compartment of the Golden Classics Tower.

Could it be the martial arts practiced by the gang leader Zhao Chihu? Or the legendary scriptures that could lead to higher realms?

Regardless of what it was, it was worth Song Fulu's intervention.

"Swoosh..."

Song Fulu darted out from the side, snatching the wooden box from the arms of the Crimson Tiger Gang Martial Artist who was running ahead. At the same time, he scattered a handful of specially made lime powder mixed with poison towards the Martial Artists from various major families who were chasing after him.

In the dim night, caught off guard, the Martial Artists from the major families had lime poison powder enter their eyes one after another. Immediately, their eyes burned, turning them blind.

"Ah, my eyes!"

"Help, does anyone have an antidote?"

"This is quicklime mixed with poison powder, quickly wash it off with water."

...

A group of Martial Artists from the major families were too busy protecting their eyes to chase after Song Fulu. They hurriedly ran in all directions, wanting to save their eyes first.

Song Fulu glanced at the Crimson Tiger Gang Martial Artist several tens of meters away, then turned and disappeared into the darkness. The Martial Artist glared angrily at Song Fulu but didn't pursue him. Instead, he fled towards the outside of the Crimson Tiger Gang.

From Song Fulu's actions, he could tell that Song Fulu's strength was definitely superior to his own, and he had no ill intentions towards him. He had only taken the secret manual and helped him drive away the Martial Artists from the major families who were chasing after him. It could be considered a balance of favors, with nothing to resent.

After securely placing the wooden box in a safe place on his person, Song Fulu once again sneaked deeper into the area. Unfortunately, apart from the temporary warehouse of the Pharmacy Department, Song Fulu didn't know about the other temporary warehouses and could only search quietly.

It took him more than half an hour before he found a place where gold and silver were stored. Many people were already fighting over it, including high-ranking members of the Crimson Tiger Gang.

With his face covered and using his shrinking bone technique, Song Fulu directly made a move, snatching a box of gold from a fourth-layer Martial Artist of the Interior Refinement Department and escaped. He also gave him a handful of lime poison powder.

This box of gold weighed several thousand taels, equivalent to Song Fulu's income over the past two years, and its value was astonishing.

After hiding the box of gold, Song Fulu turned back. Since he couldn't find the warehouses of the Blacksmithing Department, Planting Department, Formation Department, etc., he decided to focus on robbing gold. There was too much water mixed in the silver, and the value of copper coins was too low. Gold was still the best, a universally accepted currency.

"Splash..."

Seizing the opportunity, Song Fulu scattered another handful of lime poison powder, forcefully driving away several Martial Artists from the major families and the government. He snatched another box of gold and, while escaping, slapped a third-layer Martial Artist of the Interior Refinement Department, sending him flying and rendering him unable to continue. This frightened the other Martial Artists, who quickly retreated and dared not pursue.

"Earth Gate Martial Artist, this is definitely an Earth Gate Martial Artist."

"Which shameless Earth Gate Martial Artist is this, not fighting but coming to rob us?"

"There are only a few Earth Gate Martial Artists in the city. We'll find out when we go back and investigate."

...

A group of Interior Refinement Martial Artists behind them barked helplessly, but they couldn't do anything to Song Fulu. After a moment, they all fled the scene, no longer daring to fight for the loot here.

Song Fulu felt a bit regretful. He had originally wanted to rob again, but he didn't expect to make such a big commotion and scare everyone away. As expected, the ancestors were right, things can be done once or twice, but it's difficult to do them three or four times.

However, the Crimson Tiger Gang headquarters had more places to store gold and silver, and many people were fighting over them here. He could just steal from thieves.
