Chapter 23：Pretending to be a Monster and Seeking Interest

After leaving the house, Mu Xuyang saw the moon hanging high in the sky and realized it was already deep into the night. Although there was a moon, it was covered by a thin layer of dark clouds, so the moonlight shining down was not very bright, and the scenery on the ground was not very clear. Mu Xuyang's abilities were limited, but he could still barely see the situation on the small path between the Lingtian fields by borrowing the dim moonlight.

Due to the continuous output of the mysterious power that had merged into his flesh and blood, his spirit was always in a state of abundance. Even if he didn't eat or drink, he wouldn't feel hungry, and he wouldn't feel tired even if he didn't sleep day or night. Therefore, although it was midnight, Mu Xuyang still had plenty of energy and would be aware of any movement within a limited range of his surroundings.

After about fifteen minutes, Mu Xuyang passed through countless Lingtian fields and was about to reach his own cultivated field when he saw three people practicing and planting weeds at the edge of the field. A wave of anger surged up in his heart, and he wanted to rush over immediately and directly take care of these three guys who were practicing and planting weeds at the edge of the field, eliminating the hatred in his heart.

"These three guys have limited strength and haven't used their battle power to activate the spirit symbols. The spirit symbols they used to plant weeds have to be activated by valuable spirit stones. They are really wasting resources! If I could scare them a little and get the spirit stones in their hands, it would be better for me to absorb them and assist in my cultivation than to absorb the weak spiritual energy from the weeds. I have to think of a way to scare them and get some interest back."

Seeing the busy figures of the three people, Mu Xuyang's brain quickly started working, thinking of ways to play tricks on them. After careful consideration, Mu Xuyang finally decided to dress up as a monster and teach the three guys a lesson, then loot them of their valuable belongings.

Once he had made up his mind, Mu Xuyang didn't hesitate. He quickly increased his pace and took a detour, avoiding the three guys and returning to his residence through the back door. Then he began to busy himself, making a simple prop to disguise himself as a monster.

Although Mu Xuyang had never seen what monsters in this world looked like, he had designed many strange and ugly monster images before he crossed over, so it was very easy for him to make a prop to dress up as a monster.

After completing a set of simple props to dress up as a monster, Mu Xuyang immediately put them away and left his residence carefully, still taking a detour to reach a position far away from his residence. Then he checked the situation on the Lingtian fields and saw that the three guys were still busy in the fields, so he didn't hesitate and immediately put on the simple props to disguise himself as a monster, transformed into a monster with a hideous face and sharp teeth, and then leaped up and trampled on the weeds with his feet, rushing towards the three guys at a high speed. Although Mu Xuyang's cultivation level was currently low, his speed was faster than that of a person at the level of Qi Condensation.

There were three guys planting weeds in the spiritual field, all of whom were characters who had just entered the transformation realm. Their speed of movement was many times faster than those in the magic realm, so they couldn't compare with Mu Xuyang.

Swish!

Mu Xuyang's figure was like a clear breeze, crossing the spiritual field in an instant and arriving at a spot about three yards away from the three busy guys. He stopped his figure, stepped on the grass tip, and hovered in mid-air. Then, holding back his voice, he said to the three guys, "I thought I was bad enough, but I didn't expect you three humans who have just entered the practice to be even worse, doing such harmful things to others and not benefiting yourselves."

Suddenly hearing this sentence, the three originally guilty guys quickly stopped their work and looked towards the unusual sound. When they saw the figure that appeared in their sight was a monster with a blue face and fangs, they were suddenly frightened. One of the guys with a smaller courage was directly scared and fainted, falling to the ground unconscious.

The other two guys, who were still conscious, were also frightened and trembled like chaff.

"I thought it would take some effort to scare these three guys, but I didn't expect that just shouting like this would scare them half to death. I really didn't expect these three guys to be so useless."

Seeing that the three guys were scared, Mu Xuyang felt amused, but he knew clearly what he was doing by pretending to be a ghost.

So, at this moment, Mu Xuyang spoke again, saying to the three of them, "I'm not interested in what you've done, nor am I interested in you three little kids. It's just that I'm a bit tight on funds lately and I'm short of some auxiliary spiritual stones for my cultivation. Quickly hand over all the spiritual stones in your hands, and I'll spare your lives."

"We'll hand over the spiritual stones in our hands right away." The guy on the left, who had lost half of his life due to fear, heard that the monster in front of him only wanted spiritual stones and had no intention of killing them. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, taking out a bag containing spiritual stones and holding it above his head with both hands, respectfully saying to Mu Xuyang, "These are all the spiritual stones I have on me. Please inspect them, Your Majesty."

"Well, I'm very satisfied with your performance." Mu Xuyang did not immediately go to collect the spiritual stones, but turned his head and shouted loudly at the other guy who hadn't spoken yet.

"We three are all working for others. These spiritual stones were just received by the three of us and were intended to be used to activate the spirit symbols to plant the grass. So, we really only have this bag of spiritual stones in our hands." The guy holding the bag of spiritual stones quickly said respectfully after Mu Xuyang's question fell.

"Are you three really only have this bag of spiritual stones?"

"Yes, there really is only this bag."

"Well, I don't expect you three little brats to play any tricks in front of me." Mu Xuyang held back his voice and shouted like this, then his figure flashed and approached the guy who held the bag of spiritual stones. He stretched out his disguised sharp claws, grabbed the bag of spiritual stones, then quickly turned around and rushed away.

Mu Xuyang came and went quickly.

When the guy holding the bag of spiritual stones realized that the bag had been taken away and looked up, he found that the monster who scared them half to death had disappeared without a trace, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, when he finally caught his breath, the poor guy's face became ugly again. He cried and said to his companion beside him, "Lu Shidi, we really messed up this time. How are we going to explain to Brother Jixiang when we go back?"

The guy who spoke was named Jiang Hongfa, and the guy who dared not speak beside him was named Luo Weimin. The guy who fainted from fear was a young disciple who had just stepped into the transformation realm, named Zhou Jinping.
