Asura Emperor Venerable

Shi Hao put on Han Mingyue's clothes and then wandered around the Qian Residence.

Even though Han Mingyue wasn't a member of the Qian Family, he was still a head among the attendants, so walking around aimlessly didn't arouse any suspicion.

In fact, as Shi Hao passed by some gardeners, one of them, who was trimming the plants, even threw him a flirtatious glance.

Damn, that's eye-searing!

It seems that Han Mingyue being into men is no secret—many people know about it, which is why that gardener tried to hit on him.

Shi Hao's mouth twitched, thinking about such bad luck he was having.

The Qian Residence was vast, and Shi Hao couldn't move at full speed, so it took him some time to make a round.

Medicine Fields?

He didn't find them, but he did find the treasury.

Shi Hao returned to his quarters and woke Han Mingyue up within the Immortal Abode, starting the interrogation.

The Qian Family indeed had medicine fields, but strictly speaking, they belonged to the Taibai Sect's Qian Family.

The Qian Family in Xuanbai City was just a branch, serving the main family of the Taibai Sect in everything they did.

Besides, the Qian Family also had an Immortal Stone mine, but it wasn't owned solely by them; it was shared with two other families.

These three families correspond to the three elders of the Taibai Sect, forming a faction.

Shi Hao processed all the information in his mind and suddenly had an idea.

"Mousy, tonight we're going to empty the Qian Family's treasury," Shi Hao said, "You're okay with that, right?"

"Leave it to me," the Purple Gold Rat said with ease.

That night, they took action.

Shi Hao, who was now familiar with the place, arrived in front of the treasury, where a Copper Armored Immortal stood guard.

Why only use a Copper Armored Immortal when the Qian Family clearly had Silver Spirit Immortals?

Firstly, Silver Spirit Immortals are rare and hold higher status—they can't be bothered with this. Secondly, the Qian Family already had formation defenses, and anyone breaking in would trigger an alarm, allowing a Silver Spirit Immortal to rush out immediately.

Therefore, having a Copper Armored Immortal here was to intimidate the servants in the residence, preventing any from daring to reach for what belongs to the master.

Shi Hao concealed all his aura and stealthily approached the guard.

Being just a three-star Copper Armored Immortal, Shi Hao was overly cautious, so how could he be discovered?

Soon, Shi Hao was behind the guard, and with a smack, he struck the person on the skull, immediately knocking the Copper Armored Immortal unconscious.

Shi Hao, with adept familiarity, tucked the Copper Armored Immortal into the Immortal Abode and then went to the door, surprisingly finding the treasury's door wasn't even locked.

"Mousy, seems you're not needed,"

"Tsk!" the Purple Gold Rat grumbled in dissatisfaction.

But despite the banter, the man and the mouse quickly began looting, grabbing everything there without leaving a scrap.

"Let's go."

After clearing it out, Shi Hao quickly slipped away.

With the disappearance of the guard at the treasury, it wouldn't be long before the Qian Residence was in upheaval.

Shi Hao swiftly arrived at a courtyard, where each room held ten men, all at the Great Sacrificial Heaven level.

Shi Hao casually knocked one of them out, putting them into the Immortal Abode, then used the Infinite Seed Technique to change his appearance and disguise himself as that man.

Soon, the Qian Residence became noisy.

The disappearance of the immortal and the theft of the treasure had been discovered.

A major search operation immediately commenced.

This courtyard was, of course, searched as well, but who could see through Shi Hao's disguise?

By the following morning, the people of this courtyard were lined up to depart.

Where to?

This group was hired as medicine farmers by the Qian Family, being sent to tend to the Qian Family's medicine garden.

Ah, after taking a detour, Shi Hao was finally on his way to the medicine garden of the Qian Family.

This medicine garden was located within Floating Water Mountain.

Shi Hao mixed in with the crowd and arrived at the entrance of the medicine garden.

However, they were stopped at the entrance. Soon, a Silver Spirit Immortal came out to inspect them one by one.

Shi Hao was slightly nervous, but thankfully, the Infinite Seed Technique alongside the Little Star Universe provided an advanced enough method of disguise that the Silver Spirit Immortal didn't notice—mostly because the Silver Spirit Immortal was focused on whether they were carrying any spatial spirit tools.

This was to prevent internal theft.

Shi Hao's spatial spirit tools could be stored inside the Immortal Abode, making his disguise flawless.

They were allowed entry and thrown into the medicine garden, quickly being assigned tasks.

It was simple enough; just water the immortal herbs and fruits, apply fertilizer, and add Immortal Stones to the Spirit Gathering Array to maintain its normal operation.

After a busy day, everyone went to rest individually.

The living conditions here weren't great, but at least they had their own rooms, allowing them not to be disturbed by others' snoring, which was a slight improvement.

Shi Hao was still planning when to move and sweep up all the immortal herbs here.

——Over the course of the day, he discovered a nearly two-thousand-year-old immortal herb, a Golden Level Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit, which had already borne fruit, though it wasn't yet mature enough but was already consumable, providing effects up to the Silver Spirit level at most.

Fully mature? It would take at least another five thousand years!

The growth of immortal herbs was outrageously slow like this.

To Shi Hao, having a Golden Level Immortal Herb would be great, but even if not, he wouldn't mind at all.

After all, it'd be a free gain.

Bam, the door suddenly swung open.

What's the situation?

Shi Hao looked over and saw an attendant.

Don't be fooled by his lowly status as an attendant—in contrast, these people like Shi Hao were merely medicine slaves, not even worthy of being called people, making their status naturally lower.

"Come with me," the attendant said in a calm but indifferent tone.

Though termed a "child," he was actually a middle-aged man with the cultivation of a Heaven Building Ladder, naturally looking down on Shi Hao.

Shi Hao, being bold and capable, naturally didn't fear. He got up and followed swiftly.

Damn, am I facing another gay guy?

The attendant was leading the way, and Shi Hao, following behind, was surprised to find they were heading toward the location of that Mystic Horned Fire Dragon Fruit.

Hmm?

Indeed, upon reaching the immortal herb, the attendant stopped, turned around, and said to Shi Hao, "Take off your clothes!"

Damn, really a gay guy?

What's going on with this world, suddenly becoming a realm of gay men?

"Take off your sister's clothes!" Shi Hao immediately retorted, dropping his act, as every role he impersonated immediately disintegrated, making it pointless to keep up the charade.

"Not taking them off?" The attendant sneered, "Take them off yourself to save me some effort, but if you insist on making me do it, you'll suffer before dying."

What, was he threatening to kill?

Shi Hao feigned horror: "What do you mean before dying, what are you talking about?"
