It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

The layout remained the same, but all the medicines on the shelves had been cleared out. Not to mention the major and minor elixirs, even ordinary medicines were gone.

"Young hero, you may not know this, but what we lost wasn't just the Great Rejuvenation Pill, but also the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, and various medicinal herbs..."

The old monk followed behind Zhou Ye, explaining the situation and watching how he would examine the clues. Meanwhile, someone was explaining the night's defenses to Huang Rong, who was holding a child.

Soon, Zhou Ye compared the two sides with Huang Rong. After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Zhou Ye opened his eyes and said to the old monk with a sincere expression, "Master, I can no longer find the traces left by the other party here. It's hard to say whether they are traitors of our Lingyun Sect, but..."

After a moment of struggle, Zhou Ye finally spoke, "Master, that person is called Wu Ming, who calls himself Little Old Man. This person is extremely dangerous. If it really is him, then Shaolin's Great Rejuvenation Pill may never be found."

The old monk's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "Alright, no matter what, I must thank you for your guidance, young hero. Shaolin will remember this favor! If Lingyun Sect ever needs anything from Shaolin in the future, just let us know."

Zhou Ye almost rolled her eyes on the spot!

Despite offering help, he didn't mention he would definitely lend a hand. This old monk is quite the schemer; he's really treating him like a young man!

That makes sense, the abbot of Shaolin Temple is someone who is very shrewd and capable; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit in that position.

"I am unworthy to accept such an offer, but I will return to the sect and report to the founder. Master, we will proceed as follows..."

"No, no, no..." Seeing Zhou Ye trying to leave, the old monk grabbed him and said, "Young hero, how can Shaolin not repay your kindness? Please rest at Shaolin for a few days."

Zhou Ye shook his head: "I appreciate your kindness, Master, but I have deduced the direction the thieves are heading. If we wait a few more days, we might not be able to find them. It would be better to set off immediately. Besides, we have female relatives with us, which is indeed inconvenient. Master, we will take our leave now."

They left on a whim, entering through the main gate and exiting through the side gate, all the way down the mountain. Only after returning to the small courtyard they had bought did Di Yun quietly breathe a sigh of relief. To this day, he still couldn't understand his benefactor's actions, or rather, what he was after.

Huang Rong had a guess, but she didn't say anything, just teased the two children. Yao Yue, however, had sharp eyes and guessed what Zhou Ye wanted to do. Just thinking about it was exciting!

Seeing the looks in their eyes, Zhou Ye could only shrug and say, "Alright, what I was thinking was to see if those monks had hidden anything else of value, and then steal some more tonight. But after just looking, there's nothing good left. Any good stuff is in the scripture library, which we don't really need. Let's pack up and get ready to leave. Ah Xing, let's sell this courtyard..."

At this point, Zhou Ye glanced at Qi Fang and then smiled, "We can go to another place and find some opportunities for Xiao Fang."

A smile appeared on Huang Rong's face. She didn't overthink it and think that Zhou Ye had taken a liking to Qi Fang, because she knew how good Zhou Ye was to his crew. Helping Qi Fang find opportunities was, to put it bluntly, because of Di Yun's influence.

Yaoyue, however, had a sudden thought: "How about we go and take a look at our Yihua Palace?"

"I'm not going. Ah Xing will sell the courtyard tomorrow and come to meet us. Rong'er and I will go back to our home in Jiangling first to help keep watch. Ah Yue, if you're worried, you can go back to Yihua Palace first. I'm going to Tianshan."

Di Yun didn't speak, but his heart was trembling. His benefactor was incredibly bold, actually thinking of doing it again?

Thank goodness, thank goodness. Di Yun was now filled with regret, but when his gaze fell on his junior sister, his wavering heart suddenly calmed down. His benefactor had saved not only his own life, but also his junior sister's. Oh well, whenever he needed her life, his benefactor could take it!

The idea of ​​going to Tianshan was really just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Qi Fang's strength is too poor. Although she has a foundation in martial arts, in reality, she is just a housewife with no ability to protect herself.

Even with Di Yun around, there are always times when he's not there, and if someone seizes the opportunity...

So Zhou Ye simply set his sights on the Lingjiu Palace in Tianshan. He had already obtained the Lingbo Weibu from the Xiaoyao Sect, so obtaining some other martial arts wouldn't be a big deal. Even if he owed someone a favor, it would only be the Xiaoyao Sect.

Besides, we're not afraid of owing the Xiaoyao Sect any favors, no matter how many!

Xiaoyaozi's fate is unknown, and few people in the martial arts world know his name anymore. His disciples are now mostly dead, fleeing, or injured, and their minds are no longer on the Xiaoyao Sect. The future leader of the Xiaoyao Sect has single-handedly led a powerful, reclusive sect to its demise.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to worry about any cause and effect.

Early the next morning, the luxurious carriage set off again, heading towards Jiangling at a leisurely pace. Lianxing caught up with them in just half a day. After she returned, Zhou Ye went alone towards Tianshan.

Although Zhou Ye knew how to use Shave and Moonwalk, he didn't use them too frequently because these two skills consumed stamina. Although it only required two kilograms of beef to travel 100 kilometers, this was a martial arts world. If he ran into someone who wasn't thinking straight when his stamina was completely depleted, wouldn't that be bad luck?

So Zhou Ye walked during the day, rested for the first half of the night, and then used Moonwalk to travel a hundred miles in the second half of the night, so that his whereabouts could not be tracked.

Even so, his speed was extremely fast. He arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain in less than ten days after leaving Shaolin.

The Lingjiu Palace, hidden in the Tianshan Mountains, might cause trouble for others, but it's no big deal for Zhou Ye. His maxed-out Observation Haki, although not as magical as it is in the One Piece world due to his physical condition, still allows him to easily traverse a radius of one kilometer centered on himself.

It's just that after using it for a long time, it's easy to get sleepy...

Whether it's because the world is different or because his physical condition isn't good enough, Zhou Ye can't use either Armament Haki or Observation Haki to its fullest potential. Using Observation Haki too much makes him sleepy, and using Armament Haki too much makes him hungry. So Zhou Ye won't use Haki lightly unless it's absolutely necessary.

But that's not possible now. You have to use it for at least two minutes each time, otherwise the area is too large to be felt.

It's not about sensing any buildings, but people. Any place where people gather is naturally the target, because on this mountain, only Lingjiu Palace has so many people.

When Zhou Ye's Observation Haki swept across Lingjiu Palace, he noticed it. At the same time, Wu Xingyun, who was meditating, also opened her eyes. Although their systems were different, once one's realm reached a certain level, their perception ability was quite strong. She naturally sensed Zhou Ye's Haki, but she didn't know what it was.

"Zhou Ye, an unknown youth, requests an audience with Tianshan Tonglao, the master of Lingjiu Palace of the Xiaoyao Sect."

Without forcing his way through the mountain gate, nor sneaking in like he did when stealing the Great Rejuvenation Pill, Zhou Ye arrived at the mountain gate very formally, and then politely announced his name to the gatekeeper, asking her to inform her.

Of course, they put thought into it; for example, they added the Xiaoyao Sect in front of Lingjiu Palace.
