Fellow Daoist, I gladly accept this heaven-defying opportunity.

Just then, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the cave entrance.

He was a handsome young man dressed in a blue shirt, with sharp, defined eyebrows and eyes like cold stars, exuding a fierce and imposing aura.

The moment Chief Guard Zhao saw him, his pupils shrank to pinpoints. He gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "Fine, very well! You actually dare to stay here. Today I will skin you alive, dismember you, and grind your bones to dust!"

Before he finished speaking, he let out a long howl, and his whole body transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight towards Xu Mofeng.

Seeing this, the guards behind him looked at Xu Mofeng with a hint of sympathy.

This young man is truly audacious; he dares to rob the Wu family's mine when he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

No one knows how much he profited from it, but unfortunately, he had the life to take it but not the life to enjoy it. Having provoked a furious Golden Core Realm expert, he probably won't even have a chance to regret it later.

"Die!"

Enraged, Chief Guard Zhao formed his fingers into claws, tearing through the air and leaving clear streaks as he viciously grabbed at Xu Mofeng's head, seemingly intent on crushing it with a single blow.

But faced with this deadly blow, the blue-robed youth remained completely calm.

Zhao, the head guard, had such an imposing aura that it felt like a gentle spring breeze on his face, leaving not a ripple.

He raised his hand and gently placed it on the hilt of the knife. The next moment, a dazzling golden light slashed through the dark mine, blinding everyone.

Draw your sword.

Clang——

This is the clear sound of a sword being sheathed.

The dark figure in mid-air suddenly stopped, then plummeted straight to the ground, breaking into two pieces with a "thud".

It was none other than Chief Guard Zhao.

"Well……"

The surrounding guards looked as if they had been grabbed by the neck at the same time; their eyes were wide open and their mouths were agape, unable to utter a single word.

Guard Chief Zhao... is dead?

It was just cleaved in two like that?

He's a Golden Core Realm expert!

In an instant, all the guards looked at Xu Mofeng with completely different expressions. They looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces turned pale, their legs went weak, and they pushed and shoved each other backward like madmen.

Fear spread like a tide through the crowd.

What kind of monster is this boy?

With only a Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he actually killed Guard Chief Zhao, who was at the Golden Core stage, with a single strike?!

Xu Mofeng remained expressionless, his figure flashing as he charged into the crowd like a ghost, the golden light of his blade gleaming once more.

Screams rang out one after another, then quickly fell silent.

Moments later, the huge mine was littered with corpses. All the guards had been killed by him with a single sword stroke. The ground was covered in blood, like a living hell.

Xu Mofeng looked down at the longsword in his hand, a strange light flashing in his eyes. He chuckled to himself, "As expected of an Earth-rank technique, the fifth level of the Purple-Gold True Qi has made my internal strength five times stronger than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage 10 cultivator. Even without any techniques, killing this low-level Golden Core cultivator is no different from killing a chicken."

That's right, he has already cultivated his Purple Gold True Qi to the fifth level.

He drank every last drop of that mineral marrow essence.

In other words, the Wu family's spirit stone mine is now completely ruined.

The fifth level of the Purple-Gold True Qi has transformed into a pure, bright gold color, and it is only one step away from condensing into a liquid pill.

He can break through to the Golden Core Realm at any time if he wants!

"This harvest is far greater than expected, it's on a completely different level than what a red opportunity should be..."

Xu Mofeng thought about it for a moment and then understood the key point.

If it were Bai Jingyuan, he would never dare to go through all this trouble. At most, he would collect some spirit stones and then stop while he was ahead.

After all, if he stayed any longer, he would attract the attention of Guard Chief Zhao, who was at the Golden Core Realm, which would be a certain death for Bai Jingyuan.

But he was different. He directly destroyed the mine to extract its essence, turning a red opportunity into something of purple value.

Xu Mofeng glanced at the corpses scattered on the ground and casually took the storage ring from the hand of the head guard Zhao.

A quick probe with my divine sense revealed another delightful surprise.

Hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones, dozens of high-grade spirit stones, and a martial arts manual, "Eagle Claw Divine Skill," a low-grade Xuan-level manual. Adding in some miscellaneous items, the total value was quite considerable.

"No wonder the Wu family, who control the mines, are incredibly wealthy..."

Xu Mofeng casually tucked the storage ring into his pocket, and only then did the system notification sound arrive belatedly.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully converting your destiny! You have received the following reward: 1 x 50x Enlightenment Pill (one day)]

Another fifty-fold comprehension pill.

Such good things are always welcome in abundance; no one would complain about having too many.

"Next, it's time to move on to the next opportunity."

Xu Mofeng flashed out of the mine.

On the other side, in an elegant courtyard of the Wu family, a beautiful woman sat by the window, her face full of sorrow and her eyes filled with grief.

Wu Zini gazed at the tightly closed window, sighed softly, and murmured, "Brother Bai, when are you finally coming to save me...?"

She is the eldest daughter of the Wu family in Suiye City. Since childhood, she has been the apple of the eye of the family head, Wu Changlin, and is showered with love and affection.

Beneath her seemingly delicate exterior lies a rebellious and restless heart.

"Father has gone too far! It was clearly the Wu family who wronged the Bai family first. Not content with stealing Brother Bai's family heirloom, they also want to wipe them out..."

Wu Zini raised her hand and patted her chest, muttering to herself, "Luckily, I stole that treasure without even Father knowing. When Brother Bai comes to rescue me, I'll elope with him and never return to the Wu family!"

She has been under house arrest here for almost a month, waiting and waiting for her beloved, and her hair is turning almost white from worry.

Just then, she suddenly heard the guards whispering outside the door.

She knew that there were always people guarding her door to prevent her from sneaking away.

Hearing the guards talking, he had a sudden thought and instinctively moved closer to the door to eavesdrop.

"Oh no! Someone's broken in! Even Chief Guard Zhao is dead at their hands..."

"Really? Guard Chief Zhao is a Golden Core Realm expert, who could possibly kill him?"

"I don't know, but I heard he's a young pretty boy."

"Second Master isn't in the manor again, and now the whole manor is in chaos. What are we going to do..."

Wu Zini was stunned when she heard this in the room. Then her beautiful eyes gradually brightened, and she even softened her breathing.

Has someone broken into the village?

Is he still a young, pretty boy?

Could it be... Brother Bai?!

Her heart was pounding, and she was filled with excitement.

It must be him!

It must be Brother Bai who has come to save me!

She had waited so long, and this day had finally come.

"Who's there?! Stop right there!"

"No trespassing allowed—"

The shouts and curses outside the door had barely begun when two muffled groans suddenly fell, and the commotion subsided instantly.

The steady footsteps approached the room at a measured pace, each step pounding on Wu Zini's heart. She stared intently at the door, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would shatter her chest, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.

crunch--

The wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a tall, slender figure in a blue shirt stepped in against the light.

"Brother Bai!"

Wu Zini's eyes lit up, her voice filled with ecstatic joy. But the next second, the light in her eyes dimmed.

The person who arrived was not Bai Jingyuan, whom she had been longing for, but a young man who was even more handsome than Bai Jingyuan. He had clear and sharp eyes, a cold and aloof temperament, and a lingering smell of blood around him.

Xu Mofeng was taken aback for a moment by the shout, then chuckled inwardly. So Bai Jingyuan's romantic entanglements have all ended up in the dungeon? He said calmly, "You're Wu Zini? Bai Jingyuan asked me to come and rescue you."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zini's eyes lit up again, and she grabbed his sleeve, bombarding him with questions: "Were you really sent by Brother Bai? Where is he? Is he injured? Why didn't you come yourself?"

A barrage of questions made Xu Mofeng's lips twitch slightly.

Is Bai Jingyuan really on the protagonist's template? Not only are his martial arts opportunities heaven-defying, but his luck with women is also outrageous. The entire Wu family is secretly in love with him, a perfect harem start.

He didn't bother to go into the details and casually said, "We split up to look for you, and I was lucky enough to find you first. Come on, I'll take you to see him."

After saying that, he grabbed Wu Zini and walked out.

Wu Zini was simple-minded. When she heard that he was Bai Jingyuan's man, she had no suspicions at all and obediently followed him.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw the two guards' corpses lying stiffly on the ground, and Wu Zini turned pale with fright.

Before she could even react, a squad of guards suddenly rushed out from the side, shouting in unison, "Release the young lady!"

Xu Mofeng didn't even lift his eyelids before slashing with his backhand.

A dazzling golden light swept across the scene, so fast that only a fleeting afterimage remained.

The group of guards, all at the third level of Foundation Establishment, froze in their tracks as their waists and abdomens snapped, blood splattering everywhere.

One slash, and everyone is dead.

"vomit--"

Wu Zini had never seen anything like this before, and she immediately leaned against the wall and vomited.

Xu Mofeng had no time to coax her. He grabbed her arm and rushed out of the villa without pausing for a moment.

The guards who rushed forward were all slaughtered by him as easily as cutting melons and vegetables; with every flash of his blade, a life was lost.

Wu Zini was initially so frightened that her face turned pale and she almost fainted several times, but she gradually got used to it as she walked.

She was pulled forward, her gaze falling on Xu Mofeng's profile. The man was expressionless, holding a knife in one hand. Each swing of the knife was swift and decisive, and there was a breathtaking beauty to his killing prowess.

Recalling the occasional glances he gave her when he looked back, seemingly indifferent but actually attentive, Wu Zini's heart began to pound uncontrollably again, and even the smell of blood on her nose seemed to fade.

Xu Mofeng had no time to ponder the young girl's thoughts.

He casually chopped down a guard who rushed at him, his brows furrowing slightly.

The opportunity is clearly tied to Wu Zini, and she's been saved, so why hasn't the system notified us that the conversion was successful yet?

It's clear that the triggering condition is still missing.

He had encountered this situation before; the system only terminated the connection with Asang after they developed an emotional bond.

Xu Mofeng's heart skipped a beat.

No way? Is the system messing with me?

Wu Zini is completely obsessed with Bai Jingyuan right now. Am I supposed to steal her away and steal her away? Does this "chance encounter" business even arrange dating?

The more he thought about it, the more his head ached, but he didn't slow down his pace and arrived at the main gate of the villa in the blink of an eye.
