But what was the result?

Qi Chuan had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage only a few days ago, and he was immediately dragged into the water by Qingyun True Monarch to engage in theft here together.

To be honest, although Qingyun True Monarch always appeared calm and composed throughout the process, this time really gave Qi Chuan an impression of impatience.

It was unclear how long Qingyun True Monarch had been coveting that batch of high-tier spirit materials in the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss?

This place is far from Beihua State, at Haitang Island in the Chaotic Demon Sea, and the act of theft couldn’t be accomplished by Qingyun True Monarch alone.

So, for those resource sites closer to Beihua State or within its borders, couldn’t Qingyun True Monarch, with his Thousand Illusions and Ten Thousand Flowers Technique, have stolen from them all over the years?

Furthermore, thinking about it, the Thousand Illusions and Ten Thousand Flowers Technique, passed down through generations of the Myriad Flowers Sect, was primarily cultivated by most of the Supreme Elders Nascent Soul True Monarchs of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Considering the nature of the cultivation method, using it for theft was extremely convenient, and perhaps they were all a type like Qingyun True Monarch?

"Oh no, could Qingyun True Monarch actually be the Thief Saint True Monarch, and the sect I joined is a Thief Saint Immortal Sect?" Qi Chuan thought in a somewhat dazed manner.

"Also, the Jade Infant Marrow I used earlier to assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul, could it possibly have been stolen by Qingyun True Monarch as well?"

Qi Chuan thought back to past events.

At that time, my achievement points from the demon insect tide were only 18,100, barely enough to exchange for the Clear Wind Spirit Transformation Pill and the Seven-Star Soul-Subduing Talisman, but not enough for the Jade Infant Marrow.

Back then, I was considering giving up on the Jade Infant Marrow and only using the other two to help my breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, Qingyun True Monarch at the time said that as long as I wanted, I could exchange for it.

I thought it would require Qingyun True Monarch to use a favor with another True Monarch to exchange for the Jade Infant Marrow.

But now, in light of this, the origin of the Jade Infant Marrow, I feel there might have been some discrepancies.

"Alright, we’re about to reach the height where those Tier Four Lower Grade Demon Beasts are." At this moment, Qingyun True Monarch suddenly stopped and spoke.

"Ah? Yes, Senior Brother Qingyun." Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan naturally stopped and looked deeply at Qingyun True Monarch.

Truly, you can’t judge a person by appearance, nor the sea by its depth.

However, the resources stolen by the Thief Saint True Monarch not only supported his own cultivation but also sustained most of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and allowed me to reach the Nascent Soul Early Stage more quickly, giving Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect a current state of having dual Nascent Souls. You could say it’s a great achievement, so Qi Chuan couldn’t complain.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, what’s with that look in your eyes?" Seeing the expression in Qi Chuan’s eyes, Qingyun True Monarch couldn’t help but feel displeased.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about our next move." Qi Chuan immediately shook his head and diverted the conversation.

Regarding the subsequent theft, Qingyun True Monarch’s attention was immediately captured, forgetting Qi Chuan’s previous actions, and he confidently said, "Let’s first run a process to check if there’s been any change in those Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons in the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss."

"Alright, let’s go investigate together." Qi Chuan replied.

Upon hearing this, Qingyun True Monarch only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Originally, he planned to investigate alone, leaving Qi Chuan here to hide for a while. After all, being at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, he was afraid of disturbing those Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons.

However, considering Qi Chuan’s excellent concealment techniques that were on par with his own and wouldn’t cause trouble, he agreed.

Thus, the two tried their best to conceal their presence, quietly descending to investigate the activity traces of those Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons.

Although these Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons were extremely sensitive in the seawater, with their methods of concealing presence, as long as they didn’t approach the high-tier spirit material area, observing from afar posed no danger of being discovered.

Upon thorough investigation, they gained some insights. Not only did they find a total of four Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Beasts roaming the Thousand-meter Sea Abyss, but they also discovered at the depths of the abyss, a luminous area where a cluster of Pink Jade Sea Fans was growing, looking like an underwater coral area.

Pink Jade Sea Fan is just a type of low-tier spirit coral, which holds little value for the two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, so it didn’t catch their eye.

However, because of the Pink Jade Sea Fan’s presence, this large coral area turned into an excellent underwater spirit plant growth zone, seemingly nurturing quite a number of high-tier spirit materials.

After completing their investigation, the two returned to the previous seawater level.

"Junior Brother Qi Chuan, did you see the luminous Lingshan District just now?" Qingyun True Monarch looked at Qi Chuan and spoke.

"Yes, is that the location of the high-tier spirit materials you mentioned before, Senior Brother Qingyun?" Qi Chuan nodded.

"Yes," Qingyun True Monarch replied and frowned, "But there are four Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons down there. During my previous investigation, there should’ve only been three, but now there’s one extra, possibly due to a Tier Three Sea Demon breaking through over the years."

"Four Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons, will they pose trouble for you, Senior Brother?" Qi Chuan asked.

In the deep sea, it is the domain of these oceanic demon beasts, where their power is exceptionally terrifying due to environmental factors.

Not just four; even three Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons pose extreme difficulty for a typical Nascent Soul Middle Stage human cultivator in direct combat.

However, Qingyun True Monarch’s goal this time wasn’t to fight these sea demons head-on, but to control them using the Thousand Illusions and Ten Thousand Flowers Technique, so Qi Chuan didn’t know how Qingyun True Monarch would handle it.

"Troublesome indeed," Qingyun True Monarch gritted his teeth and said, "But controlling them for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is possible."

Qingyun True Monarch looked at Qi Chuan, "Junior Brother Qi Chuan, is an incense stick’s worth of time enough for you to gather all high-tier spirit materials in that Lingshan District?"

"An incense stick? That’s enough." Qi Chuan nodded indifferently.

That Lingshan District is located in a rather deep area, with a considerable size, and those high-tier spirit materials might be quite scattered, so gathering all within an incense stick’s time is indeed challenging.

But then, Qi Chuan is a Sword Cultivator.

In the face of a Sword Cultivator’s astonishing speed, it’s no big deal.

Moreover, Qi Chuan could use the Human-Sword Unity divine technique, making his speed all the more terrifying.

It just sounds like using Human-Sword Unity to gather spirit materials is a bit of an overkill.

"Even with an incense stick’s time, due to the large number of Tier Four Lower Grade Sea Demons, when I use the Illusion Divine Techniques to control them, I can’t spare any other attention. At that time, any special situation encountered by you at the bottom of the sea abyss will need to be handled by yourself, which is quite risky..."

Qingyun True Monarch looked at Qi Chuan and said, "If you don’t want to go, don’t feel obligated. We still have an exit strategy, and we can leave at any time. At most, we’ll just give up on those high-tier spirit materials."

"Senior Brother Qingyun, don’t worry. If there’s any risk, I’ll handle it myself. Besides, we’ve come all this way, wouldn’t it be a shame not to try?" Qi Chuan said.

"Alright, let’s proceed. But remember, when encountering any situation, prioritize your life above all. No amount of high-tier spirit materials is worth more than your life, Junior Brother Qi Chuan. Supporting each other, we will never lack spirit materials and miraculous drugs in the future." Qingyun True Monarch admonished earnestly.

"I understand, Senior Brother Qingyun." Qi Chuan nodded, affirming his awareness.

Seeing this, Qingyun True Monarch finally felt at ease. He then took out a long jade box from a spatial artifact. Upon opening the jade box, a Six-Color Fragrance came into Qi Chuan’s view.

"Is this... Tier Four Enchanting Demon Fragrance?" Qi Chuan’s eyes widened slightly with surprise.
