Chapter 78 Bounty Hunting and Immortal Cultivation Sects

"It's also possible that he was troubled by love, couldn't think straight, and so he slammed his head against the wall and committed suicide."

Mu An shrugged and casually spouted nonsense.

While using the [Enemy Detection Radar] to check Xiao Qingzhu's basic information, he naturally didn't let the unlucky guy who had just been sent flying by Nina off the hook either.

Upon learning that the other party's identity was a flower-picking thief, the last shred of guilt in his heart vanished into thin air.

As a modern person who was so open-minded, he himself hadn't even had relations with that many girls.

Yet this guy had outright taken advantage of who knows how many innocent young girls.

He completely deserved to die!

"..."

"The three of you don't need to be nervous. This person is a criminal with a bounty placed on him by our Canglan Town yamen."

"Ordinary citizens, whether they provide relevant trails, assist the constables in carrying out arrest operations, or even kill him, will all receive a certain bounty."

Xiao Qingzhu also noticed the vigilance of Mu An and his group and took the initiative to cup her hands and explain.

"How much is the bounty for killing him?"

Mu An asked straight to the point, being concise.

In fact, the moment he had just completed his Transmigration, he had used his powerful Mental Energy to 'control the field'.

Otherwise, Nina wouldn't have hit that 'face-rushing' guy at the very first moment.

As a 'hereditary Great Master of looting corpses', Mu An naturally wouldn't miss any Opportunity to collect loot.

Almost immediately, he had used his Mental Energy to silently take away everything of value on the other person's body.

"Eighty-eight taels of silver!"

Xiao Qingzhu also replied truthfully.

Mu An asked because he didn't know.

"Is this considered a lot of money, or a little?"

The latter then gave him a strange look. It seemed she was curious as to why the other party had no concept of money.

Xiao Qingzhu had been in Canglan Town for some time now and was no longer the Ninth Princess who was detached from the affairs of the mortal world.

She also understood some basic common sense regarding the common people.

"Ten taels of silver is enough for a family of three to live without worry for a year or so."

Pausing for a moment, she added.

"If I may be so bold, are the three of you also Cultivators?"

"Yes, we just arrived in this place and are unfamiliar with the area."

Mu An nodded.

On the other side, Xiao Qingzhu had already tied up the flower-picking thief, Hua Sanlang, with ropes, ensuring he wouldn't be able to escape again.

Although, looking at his current injuries, it probably wouldn't make a difference whether he was tied up or not. If a physician wasn't summoned for treatment in time, or if he didn't take a healing Medicinal Pill, there was a high probability that he wouldn't survive the night.

"Then let's go together!"

"Go where?"

"To the yamen. Or are you saying you don't want the bounty?"

After saying this, Xiao Qingzhu dragged the unlucky guy and walked in front.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, in her heart, she had already assumed that this flower-picking thief had been dealt with by Mu An and his group. The main reason was that there was no one else at the scene!

The only strange thing was that she hadn't sensed the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power from the three of them.

The reasonable explanation was that the three of them were all at a higher Realm than her, or they had some sort of Magical Artifact to hide their aura, which was why she hadn't been able to tell.

"Should we follow? Could there be some kind of trap?" Renée glanced at the woman's retreating back, lowered her voice, and spoke.

Nina didn't have many thoughts, her main principle being 'listen to Mu An for everything'.

"I... I listen to the Boss!"

"Why wouldn't we take the bounty if it's available? The absolute worst-case scenario is just wasting three resurrection coins and temporarily leaving this place."

Mu An had thought it through clearly.

After many days of accumulation, the number of resurrection coins he had on him had reached an exaggerated amount of over twenty. Even if he wasted three, it wouldn't hurt that much.

Furthermore, just as he had said before, they were new here and unfamiliar with the area. They were in need of a 'local guide', and Xiao Qingzhu was undoubtedly a very good candidate.

Her cultivation was only at the second level of Qi Refining (weak strength, easy to handle), and she was full of a sense of justice (high probability she wouldn't do anything illegal or evil). Her real identity was also the Ninth Princess of the Tianyuan Empire (high status, wouldn't be bullied by others at will).

According to the plot settings of some cliché novels, she was definitely a female lead template!

Thus, the three of them unanimously decided to follow.

... Outside the yamen. At this time, that unlucky flower-picking thief had already been thrown into the prison.

Mu An had also successfully received his bounty of eighty-eight taels of silver as he had wished.

This process went surprisingly smoothly. There was absolutely no clichéd drama of some unscrupulous magistrate withholding the bounty to line his own pockets. Perhaps this also had to do with Xiao Qingzhu's identity.

It was just a pity that Mu An had just asked the Myriad Worlds Gate App, and this was just pure money and couldn't be used for anything else.

Bad news: Silver, gold, copper coins, and the like were not the special currency designated for this world.

Good news: Mu An had found a Low-Grade Spirit Stone in the flower-picking thief's money pouch, which was a special currency recognized by the Myriad Worlds Gate App.

Worse news: To redeem an employee contract for this world, it required 10 Top-Grade Spirit Stones. (1 Top-Grade Spirit Stone = 100 High-Grade Spirit Stones = 10,000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones = 1,000,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones)

When Mu An asked Xiao Qingzhu where one could get a large amount of Spirit Stones, the young girl pondered for a moment and gave her answer. [Join a Cultivation Sect!]

In this world, cultivation resources were extremely scarce. Cultivation Sects monopolized resources such as Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Stone mines. For a Loose Cultivator to want to cultivate and become stronger on their own was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

If it were an ordinary person without any Opportunity, they might never have the chance to embark on the path of cultivation in their entire life. Someone like the flower-picking thief Hua Sanlang was completely an exception. Moreover, he was walking on the Evil Path.

If discovered by some righteous people, he would definitely be hunted down crazily.

"So, are there any Cultivation Sects nearby?"

Mu An asked.

At this time, the group was being led by Xiao Qingzhu to a restaurant. Firstly, to thank them for helping her catch a heinous flower-picking thief, the young girl intended to treat them to a meal. Secondly, it was to help the three of them find a place to stay temporarily. Mu An and his group naturally did not refuse this kind gesture.

"Cultivation Sects generally remain hidden and do not appear, so ordinary people have no way to find them."

"Only every five or ten years do they reopen their mountain gates to accept disciples."

"And coincidentally, there happens to be a Qingyun Sect near Canglan Town."

"And even more coincidentally, in less than ten days, they will once again open their mountain gates to accept disciples!"

Xiao Qingzhu stopped in front of a large restaurant called 'Wait for Your Return'.

"Because of this, quite a few practitioners have flooded into the town recently."

"Various incidents are occurring frequently, and the pressure on our yamen is becoming greater and greater."

"If the three of you have nothing to do recently, I wonder if you could assist me in handling cases?"

"As for the bounty and loot, I don't want any of it; you can take it all!"

Her intuition told her that the three people in front of her were very strong. If she could get their help, her case-handling efficiency would definitely be greatly improved.

Mu An chuckled softly. He didn't agree immediately.

"Let's talk about that kind of thing later!"

"Right now, filling our stomachs is more important..."
