"From today onward, I will be bringing the medicines here every day. If all goes well, you will be able to recover fully in half a month." Chen Xiaobei said. " Yu Junmo's body seemed to be very compliant with my medication. He may be able to walk in three to five days."

 "Thank you so much Elder Wu! Thank you! The Spiritual Stones we have prepared are all accounted for. They are all here. Please accept this…"

"Elder Wu, please accept these Spiritual Stones… We truly are grateful to you…"

The four idiots expressed their utmost gratitude—they were almost begging Chen Xiaobei to accept the 4,000 Spiritual Stones. Even if they were to be lent 10,000 brains, they would not have guessed that Chen Xiaobei did not even spend a single dime concocting the medicine. It was just a ruse to scam them of their Spiritual Stones!

In fact, in less than three days after receiving the Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei would feed them freshly baked Heavenly Dog Biscuits!

The four idiots were tricked by Chen Xiaobei and they even helped Chen Xiaobei to earn more money.

 "Mm, just move the Spiritual Stones to my car." Chen Xiaobei ordered before adding, "I will be going to the treasure vault to fetch some precious medicine. You should all rest."

"Goodbye! Elder Wu!" the four of them hailed in unison, absolutely reverential.

 "Zhuang Hao, why don't you come with me? You will pick out the medicines that I ask you to!" said Chen Xiaobei.

The last time they were in the Zhuang's vault, Zhuang Hao took whatever medicine Chen Xiaobei directed him to take. Chen Xiaobei did not touch a single thing inside. After that time, Zhuang Hao had completely dispelled his wariness of Chen Xiaobei stealing. He even spoke well of Chen Xiaobei in front of Zhuang Lao Taijun.

This time, Zhuang Hao wanted to show off his generosity before the others.

 "God-grandfather, You are being too polite! Don't you think your grandson trusts you?" Zhuang Hao then proceeded to say, "Why don't you go in on your own. I'm not familiar with the drugs. I would be wasting your time instead."

 "You really trust me?"

Chen Xiaobei pretended to hesitate.

 "Of course! What grandson doesn't trust in their grandfather?" Zhuang Hao laughed heartily, "You've always told me 'Don't employ anyone you don't trust'. Here is the key to the vault. You may enter as you please!"

 "Alright! Oh, I am very pleased that you said that!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "I will be out in half an hour."

Chen Xiaobei then left the mansion.

Chen Xiaobei had only been to the vault once last time but he had a very good sense of direction so he had no trouble finding the vault. He had already seen everything there is to see in the vault—there was an array of exotic treasures enough to fill a museum!

However, there was only one thing that Chen Xiaobei had not seen. And that was the large, golden strongbox that was placed in the innermost part of the vault!

 "My poor grandson! I asked you to come with but you refused. So, don't blame your grandfather for opening the box! Hehe…"

Chen Xiaobei chuckled to himself.

He then took out a golden beetle from his pocket to which he commanded, "Xiao'er, bite a hole in the back of the box."

 "Alright!"

Xiao'er's eyes lit up. As long as there was something to it, its mood would be exceptionally good.

 "Bless me, Buddha! Let it be Spiritual Stones inside! I don't want anything else right now. I just want the stones! A lot of stones…"

Chen Xiaobei was both hopeful and despondent at the same time.

It was no question that Chen Xiaobei really needed the Spiritual Stones. Especially since he would need the Spiritual Qi to concoct Heavenly Dog Biscuit.

Each Heavenly Dog Biscuit required 1,000 Spiritual Stones.

The number of ingredients he had purchased using merit points were able to produce ten pieces of biscuits; which meant that he would need 10,000 Spiritual Stones!

If he was not able to accumulate enough stones, part of the ingredients would be wasted. Previously, he had 3,600 Spiritual Qi in the Green Jade Gourd. Combined with the 4,000 pieces he had just received, he now had 7,600 pieces. He still needed another 2,400 Spiritual Stones to reach 10,000.

If he failed to collect enough stones and wasted the raw ingredients, Chen Xiaobei would be in a pinch.

 "Because I had just wiped out a large group of evil men yesterday, my luck has probably increased! One good turn deserves another. I suppose I will not be disappointed… I won't…" Chen Xiaobei consoled himself in this moment of perturbation.

Chomp!

Chomp!

Chomp…

This unlocking mechanism was not an exaggeration! In a matter of seconds, Xiao'er had chewed a large hole at the back of the strongbox!

 Plonk…

An immeasurable number of Spiritual Stones came gushing out of the hole, covering every available surface on the ground.

Don't say that the gods deny men of their wishes. This time, god really gave face to Chen Xiaobei!

Based on rough estimation, there were at least 2,000 pieces of Spiritual Stones on the floor.

 "What the f*ck! The Zhuangs have so many Spiritual Stones! It looks like I have all the Spiritual Stones I need! Nice! Wahahaha…"

Chen Xiaobei celebrated, his eyes gleaming, like a money-grubber. The number of stones not only satisfied what he needed, it would also solve his problem!

This was just way too good!

Chen Xiaobei did not even think twice before taking out his Green Jade Gourd and harnessed all of the Spiritual Qi until all that was left of the stones were just hollow shells.

 "It's enough! I have enough stones!" Chen Xiaobei sensed the gourd's Spiritual Attribute and was exultant. "The were 2,700 Spiritual Stones! After combining it with what I have, I can concoct the ten Heavenly Dog Biscuits and still have 300 stones left! This is sweet!"

 "Bro Bei! Come and see this! There's a lot of yummy things inside!" Xiao'er shouted excitedly.

 "What is it?" Chen Xiaobei's eyes lit up as he circled to the back of the strongbox.

There was a Green Nebula Ganoderma the size of a child's palm. It was covered in a thick network of cobwebs. It was definitely a mature Ganoderma.

 "This is a Green Nebula Ganoderma. I think it's more than a thousand years old! It can be considered as a Spiritual Item!"

 Xiao'er was tickled pink.

"Wow! What an unexpected surprise!" Again, Chen Xiaobei exclaimed, "After eating the Water Shattering Dagger the other day, my health had reached 39,000. Who would've guessed that I would be able to acquire another Spiritual Item in such a short period of time! Oh this is way too awesome! Wahaha…"

 "That's not right! The Green Nebula Ganoderma is a sort of Spiritual Medicine. It won't enhance your health but it will increase your combat power" Xiao'er explained. "The metal and Spiritual Items that Brother Bei had eaten could be categorized as material that used to craft other items. This type of Spiritual Item is for enhancing health! And this piece of Spiritual Medicine is used to increase one's combat power!"

"I don't care whether it improves combat power or enhances health. As long as it can make me stronger, I will not refuse it! Wahahaha…"

Chen Xiaobei laughed gleefully.
