Chapter 336: Success
Chu Li retrieved the treasure of the Imperial Residence of Prince An as easily as if he was just taking soh Prince An's security for the treasury was strict, it was no match for what he had prepared for himself
Chu Li entered the treasury without a soundNot laying a hand on the eye-catching treasure swords and valuables, he only took the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden jade statue
When he had retrieved the jade statue, he returned to the Glory's Will Courtyard
It was already afternoon with the sun shi+ned bright and beautiful, warhtful
Chu Li sat at the paGoda and studied the jade statue carefully
Xue Ling entered the paGoda, serving four dishes and a bowl of soup
Seeing Chu Li holding a piece of the jade statue with both hands and groping about, she laughed, ”Young Master, what is this?”
”What an a…” Chu Li breathed, ”This really is a work of art!”
Xue Ling set aside the wooden plate and sat across Chu Li and inspected the jade statue”Is that not just a piece of white jade? What is so a about it?”
She had seen jade statues since she was a child and did not think of theh Duke never lacked for trifles such as theseThere were no jade artifacts which they could not buyThe only thing that mattered was if they liked the pieces or not
Chu Li shook his head, ”This one is different…Go and get two pieces of white jade of this sizeI wish to replicate this”
”I shall get the stood up
Chu Li stared at the jade statue, waving his hand, ”Do that after we eat! Tell Bi Liu not to rush, this can wait until after the grand wedding”
”Yes,” Xue Ling said
Chu Li put down the jade statue and shook his head as if in regret
There certainly was no peculiarity in the jade statue and no inheritance of the Elusive Ninth Heaven MaidenItand was taken over completely
There could be another reason why Lu Yurong wanted to retrieve this – maybe to help in her self-cultivation or perhaps for future inheritanceIt was very important to her
He aihtened mastery of the Scripture of God Boundary and was not afraid of Lu Yurong's strongthe jade statue in the first place
After the meal, Chu Li went on to find a few pieces of stone and started training his sculpting technique
He used the Omniscient Mirror and inspected the stones to the s the carving knife as if it was a sword and raised his proficiency in sculpting to the peak in a short a the level of a Master
Looking at the pieces of stone statues, he nodded his head in satisfaction
These carvings could actually help with the self-cultivation of his swordsht back two pieces of white jade quickly and even found three small wooden boxes out of her own accord
Chu Li made sith the sword and carved one piece of white jade into the shape of the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden in a short timeThen, he moved on to another piece
”Which of the two looks
Xue Ling carefully scrutinized the statues for aMasterWhat an a technique!”
Chu Li shook his head, s Master, what do you plan to do with this?” Xue Ling asked
Chu Li laughed, ”I'e for the help of six Grandmasters”
”Will she take the chance to wreak havoc?” Xue Ling asked hurriedly
Chu Li suard!”
He 's intentions but he can see through Xi Wu'sIf they ca trouble, he would know at a glance
He placed the three jade statues side by sideAlthough they looked exactly the same, there was still a minute difference between themIt seemed to be of material difference but they were all made from the saical qualityHe stopped hi saw his expression and withdrew quietly withouta sound
Chu Li used the O purely only the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden jade statue, to the point where he could see every molecule of the jade statue
The Omniscient Mirror inspected the jade statue inch by inch like ato expose its secrets
Unfortunately, even using this method, the jade statue did not seem to have any mystical properties
Suddenly, he was struck by a wave of inspirationHe quickly took a piece of the hidden energy of the Heavenly De as thin as a strand of hair, and inserted it into the jade statue
Suddenly, the jade statue let out a bright flash and a sharp i the ed on top of a cloudHer body was like colored glass, both hands for coiled around her transparent body
The red string circulated her body twice and a bout of light suddenly descended froether with the red string
The red string got thicker and coiled even faster around her
The woht
The light froht as the sun
Her figure could not be seen anyht was visible
Then, the i inky darkness before his eyes
Chu Li opened his eyes and his lips spread into a smile
This must be the technique of the Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden!
He reappeared at the Imperial Residence of Prince An and returned one of the statues he carved into the warehouseThen, he appeared in the backyard of Ren Public House
A the flowers, so the zither, so's side, feeding her snacks and fruits fro a scroll
Sensing Chu Li's presence, she turned around to look at him
The nine maids watched him ary eyes
Chu Li entered the paGoda under their vigilant gazes and set tooden boxes on the stone table and s took up one of the boxes and swept a gaze at him
”My Lady, let me,” one of the maids moved to intercept the box
Chu Li shook his head while save the lance but did not stop her either
The maid opened the wooden box and opened the other one as well
Two Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden jade statues stood in front of their eyesBoth looked identical
Chu Li stared intently at Lu Yurong's expression
Lu Yurong swept her eyes slowly along the statues and reached out to take the real Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden figure, caressing it slowly and sighed”You have worked hard!”
Chu Li s looked at the other jade statue, lifted it up, inspected it, and turned her head to look at Chu Li”Which enuine one”
Chu Li pointed at hi scoffed, ”You kno to do this too?”
Chu Li said, ”I made two more statuesOne I left in the Imperial Residence's treasury, which I expect will definitely fool Prince AnThis one I shall give to Lady Lu, to prevent the real one froain”
”This ti scoffed coldly, ”He will not be able to tell it is fake just by its appearance! All right, I arateful to youElder Xi and the others have already departedI have told them to capture three assassins”
Chu Li closed fist saluted, ”Thank you, Lady LuI shall take my leave now”
”Who do you think will act?” Lu Yu Rong asked
Chu Li laughed, ”It could be anyone, which is e need to be preparedFarewell!”
He disappeared froathered around, staring at the genuine Elusive Ninth Heaven Maiden statue with joyous expressions
”My Lady, he really did e to accomplish it!”
”For him to be able to steal this froainst hiht, our security is nowhere near as tight as the Imperial Residence!”
”As expected of the Lady, to be able to use hiet the statue back!”
”With this, our self-cultivation will proceed even faster”
Chu Li nodded his head while hidden in the shadows
