Save the Bachelor of Heaven

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling then found an abandoned house in the city to stay and practiced until the evening.

During this period, Xiang Nan helped Xu Ziling transfer a lot of internal force, which made him gradually break through the third level of "The Art of Immortality" and enter the fourth level.

When the "Art of Immortality" is practiced to the fourth level, the twelve meridians can be opened, making the internal force more unobstructed, circulating back and forth, and the strength will increase accordingly.

Going further, when it reaches the fifth level, the eight extraordinary meridians can be opened. When it reaches the sixth level, the Ren and Du meridians can be opened, breaking through the mysterious gate of life and death. At that time, you can really be among the top masters.

Xiang Nan took advantage of this point. He had already opened the Ren and Du meridians, so his "Art of Immortality" had also been practiced to a very high level.

It was only to accommodate Xu Ziling that he chose to hide and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

"It's almost time, let's go." Xiang Nan said to Xu Ziling at the first watch.

Xu Ziling nodded, and he and Xiang Nan set off for the Duke's Mansion.

With their current skills, it is not difficult to enter the Duke's Mansion.

The ten-foot-high wall of the Duke's Mansion is just a matter of jumping for them.

After entering the Duke's Mansion, the two first caught the servants, "Where do Miss Li Si and Miss Song live? Tell the truth, or we will kill you!"

"Our young lady is not in the Duke's Mansion. She went to Yangzhou and hasn't come back yet." The servant was so scared that his face turned pale, and he quickly answered, "Which Miss Song is it?"

"Are you sure, your young lady is really not here?" Xu Ziling was stunned, and hurriedly asked again, "Miss Song, that is, Miss Song Yuzhi, the eldest lady of the Song family, she is not here either?"

"Our young lady is indeed not here, and Miss Song is not here either." The servant waved his hand and said, "Our second son is fighting outside, and our fourth young lady should go to help. As for Miss Song, I really don't know where she is."

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling looked at each other, then let him go and left the Duke's Mansion again.

"Mr. Zhong, Miss Li and Miss Song are not here, what should we do?" Xu Ziling looked at Xiang Nan and said.

"Don't worry, we can live without them." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Before, we lived to the age of 18. Now we have unique skills, are we afraid that we can't survive?

So, let's go to the silver vault of Hengtai Bank and steal some money. Since he won't give it to us, we will go to get it ourselves. After getting the money, we will find a place to stay and practice martial arts.

When we have mastered the magic skills, we can go all over the world. It's not us who go to others, but others who recruit us. At that time, let's see who dares to give us a bad face and who dares to refuse our debts?"

"That makes sense." Xu Ziling nodded.

...

The two of them came to Hengtai Bank and sneaked into the bank secretly.

Although there were guards in the bank, their strength was far inferior to Xiang Nan and the others, so they entered the bank without any effort.

Then, by catching the tongue, they easily found out where the money vault was.

When the two came to the money vault, they saw that the money vault was built with huge stones, and the door was made of cast iron. There was also a huge copper lock hanging on the door, which weighed hundreds of pounds, and the lock rod alone was as thick as an arm.

Such a large copper lock cannot be broken by pure external force. Even with a saw, it would take half a day.

And there are so many guards in the bank. If you smash it hard or saw it with a saw, it will definitely attract the guards, and you will definitely not be able to escape at that time.

It can be seen that the money vault of Hengtai Bank is really impregnable.

But Xiang Nan happened to meet him.

With a wave of his hand, the copper lock immediately turned into a flying bird.

Xu Ziling was immediately delighted and immediately pushed open the door of the money vault.

It can be seen that this door must weigh thousands of pounds, and it is estimated that even with explosives, it may not be blown open.

When they entered the treasury, they saw rows of shelves filled with gold ingots, silver ingots, and copper coins piled up like a small mountain.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen so much money." Xu Ziling couldn't help but sighed when he saw it.

"Then why don't you go roll in the copper coin pile? Don't worry, I'll pretend I didn't see it." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Don't come on, I'm not that useless." Xu Ziling waved his hand and said, "Come on, hurry up and take as much as you can."

"Well, be careful, don't touch the mechanism." Xiang Nan reminded, and then worked with Xu Ziling to put the gold and silver ingots on the shelves into the sack.

It was so full that it was really hard to put it in, so the two left with satisfaction. When they left, Xiang Nan also considerately turned the bird back into a lock.

In this way, how the treasury was stolen, let the Chai family wonder.

…

Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling each carried a sack of gold and silver and left Hengtai Money House, hiding from the night watchmen along the way.

They put down the sacks only after returning to the abandoned house.

Then they carefully counted under the light, and found that they had carried out a total of 300 ingots of gold and 100 ingots of silver.

Each ingot of gold and silver was 50 taels, which was 15,000 taels of gold and 5,000 taels of silver. According to the exchange rate of 1:6 between the gold price and the silver price at the end of the Sui Dynasty, they barely made back their money this time.

“That’s pretty good, it’s revenge.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.

Xu Ziling also nodded. With so much money, they were considered rich.

“How do we spend this money?” he asked Xiang Nan.

"It is said that a small hermit hides in the wild, and a great hermit hides in the city." Xiang Nan thought for a while and said, "We will rent a house in Taiyuan City and practice martial arts diligently every day. After a while, when our magic skills are perfected, we will return to the world and naturally be successful.

I think that Kankan and Ren Shaoming probably won't believe that we, who have such unique skills, will be willing to be a small citizen, right?"

"That makes sense." Xu Ziling nodded.

Anyone who has mastered magic skills will want to show off.

Just like Taoist Shilong, after mastering the "Eternal Life Secret", he immediately turned against Fu Jun'er and killed people in the world, causing everyone in the world to know that he had obtained the "Eternal Life Secret" magic skill, and thus brought about his own death.

So Xiang Nan is right. The more they master magic skills, the less they can publicize them, and instead try to keep a low profile.

In this way, they will naturally not attract attention, and they can practice with peace of mind until the day when their magic skills are perfected.

…

The next day, Xiang Nan rented a small courtyard in Taiyuan City, and then moved in with Xu Ziling.

The courtyard was well-structured, with three northern rooms and two side rooms forming a small courtyard. Pomegranates and grapes were planted in the courtyard. It was the end of summer, and the pomegranates and grapes were ripe, with abundant fruits, which looked particularly festive.

After moving in, Xiang Nan and Xu Ziling began to practice martial arts at home.

As for three meals a day, they were all delivered by restaurants on the street. Deposit a few taels of silver first, and settle the bill at the end of the month. After it matures, you can also put it on account, and settle the bill once a quarter, half a year, or even a year.

This was a very common phenomenon in ancient times.
