Although he successfully refined the magic pill, Hao Yun found that he still couldn't activate the magic power in the magic pill. The problem was still lack of energy. Hao Yun has actually always been able to feel dark energy. At least he has two ways to awaken. Hao Yunji thought about it and decided to give it a try. He first gathered the dark energy according to Miss Deng's subconscious awakening method, and then used spiritual power to impact his brain and wake up from the awakened state. Hao Yun looked at the dark energy dissipating rapidly in front of him, and directly threw Sima Qiuzhen's magic pill into the dark energy. Unexpectedly, the magic pill fell directly to the ground with a ding-dong sound, and the first attempt failed.
Hao Yun estimated that due to the incompatibility of dark energy properties, he could only try the second awakening method. However, Hao Yun believed that Huang Li's extremely wretched awakening method had the same properties as Sima Qiuzhen's magic pill in gathering dark energy. Probably even less suitable. Hao Yun had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living doctor anyway, but that was how it was sometimes. Although the effect of the second attempt was not ideal, Sima Qiuzhen's magic pill did absorb some dark energy, although it was very small.
As soon as Hao Yun discovered that there was something going on, he kept awakening, gathering dark energy, and then recharging it. With repeated operations, the energy in the magic pill increased. Under Hao Yun's perception, the magic pill seemed to be undergoing a transformation. It was not until after a recharge that the critical point of the magic pill was finally broken. Hao Yun clearly felt that the magic pill had been resurrected, and it could directly absorb dark energy from the outside world for charging. Hao Yun was ecstatic, holding the recovering magic pill in his hand, laughing loudly; suddenly he felt a little salty in his mouth, and then he realized that blood was dripping from his facial features. This is entirely due to the damage caused by instigating spiritual power to impact the brain again and again. Although it is not serious, it consumes too much spiritual consciousness and must be cultivated, otherwise it will leave sequelae.
Di Qing and Li Feng were still discussing in the refining room, and this time there was one more person, Zhao Zihao, another vice president of the Southern Branch. Zhao Zihao is the senior vice-president of the Southern Branch. He is stronger than Di Qing in terms of strength and level of weapon master. Zhao Zihao is already a cultivator in the early stage of Tribulation, and is the only quasi-grand weapon master in the southern branch who is close to a master. Unexpectedly, the vice president, who had been in seclusion, would come out of seclusion at this juncture.
The content of the discussion between the three of them was about Lao Yi. Di Qing had never paid attention to this Lao Yi. It was not until he discovered that there was a problem this time that he thought of investigating Lao Yi. The result shocked him. He is actually a local and one of the first weapon masters to join the southern branch. As the two senior vice-presidents, Di Qing of course went to them for questioning immediately. Li Feng was not there when the Southern Branch was established, but Zhao Zihao, as the founder of the Southern Branch, can be said to have never left. After Di Qing learned the news, he immediately hoped to let Zhao Zihao out of isolation to see if he could have a better understanding of Lao Yi.
Coincidentally, Di Qing and Li Feng were discussing how to wake Zhao Zihao out of seclusion. Vice President Zhao came out of seclusion and found them immediately. Di Qing was overjoyed and quickly asked Vice Chairman Zhao about Laoyi. As a result, Vice Chairman Zhao did not answer Di Qing's question immediately, but said a very shocking thing. It turns out that Vice President Zhao needs to use the characteristics of earth fire to practice when he is in retreat. Earth fire is usually strong or weak, and it keeps cycling according to time. Therefore, in the time period chosen by Vice President Zhao, normally the earth fire is a process from weak to strong, but this retreat did not happen. Not only did it not change from weak to strong, it gave him the feeling that the earth fire has been changing. Weak, although not by much. Due to the poor results of the retreat, Vice President Zhao decided to leave the retreat. Unexpectedly, when he was preparing to leave the retreat, the ground fire suddenly became a lot stronger. It was a rapid improvement, not the previous step-by-step process. Vice President Zhao took advantage of the sudden increase in the strength of the earth fire to not only greatly shorten the retreat time, but also make some growth in his cultivation. It can be said that this retreat is the most effective one for him in recent years.
Vice President Zhao found them immediately because he wanted to report the news, because the place where Vice President Zhao retreated was closer to the source of the earth fire; the earth fire in the forging room was only on the periphery, and it was difficult to feel the changes in strength there. In other words, the only one who can sense the changes in the strength of the earth fire is Zhao Zihao in the retreat.
Di Qing asked Zhao Zihao if he still remembered the day when the ground fire suddenly became stronger? Zhao Zihao remembered clearly that that day happened to be October 8th, and Di Qing's expression suddenly changed. Because that day was the day when he and Lao Yi were patrolled and arrested. Di Qing intuitively felt that the commotion in the ground fire was related to him and Laoyi being arrested.
Zhao Zihao is not very familiar with Lao Yi. Lao Yi has always been a secretive person, and since he joined the branch, his level has been only a second-level weapon master. It can be said that he has lost the value of training, so everyone is familiar with him. It’s not something he takes particularly seriously. If it hadn’t been for this incident, no one would even know that Lao Yi existed.
If it weren't for the records left when Lao Yi joined the branch, we would have known that this Lao Yi was actually a local of Zhuque City. As a local, he had always cooperated with local low-level commercial banks to build some low-level businesses. A spiritual weapon used by level cultivators. It can be said that he has been unknown in recent decades. In the entire branch, he is completely ignored as a weapon master.
Li Feng suggested that he could go to the city defense and retrieve the records of Suzaku City to see what kind of person this laborer was. Let’s see if there is a Lao family in Suzaku City? Zhao Zihao immediately expressed his willingness to go to the city defense to learn more. As an old man from the Southern Branch, he was familiar with the city defense of Suzaku City and had dealt with it a little more. He was indeed a suitable candidate.
After Hao Yun adjusted his breath to allow himself to recover a little, he picked up Sima Qiuzhen's magic pill. Since he had already refined the magic pill, he used his spiritual consciousness to spy on the magic pill and found that he could already use the magical power of the magic pill. , and this magical power allows you to enter the other party's subconscious mind. It cannot be said that this magical power is not powerful, but how to apply it requires more understanding on his part.
Hao Yun couldn't wait to come to the inspection branch. The traveling businessman surnamed Zheng was still lying in the doctor's ward of the inspection branch. He could receive treatment and care here, which was much safer than being sent to the Medical Association.
Hao used his spiritual consciousness to control the magic pill. A red thread stretched out from the magic pill and went directly into the brain of Youshang Zheng. In Hao Yun's perception, his consciousness entered the thinking of the traveling merchant named Zheng through this red line. This method is different from soul searching, which only reads memories; for most people, many memories will be forgotten, and the only ones that can really be left behind are relatively deep memories, and the memories of ordinary people can also be easily forged. . Therefore, the memory obtained by the soul search is incomplete. If the memory has been tampered with, it will be difficult for the soul search to distinguish. If Hao Yun hadn't had combat experience in the spiritual space and had a certain understanding of the subconscious, he wouldn't have found out that this guy's memory had been tampered with.
Hao Yun soon discovered clues in the mind of the traveling merchant surnamed Zheng. Hao Yun judged with certainty that this guy must have been psychologically suggestive. In other words, Soul Search read the memory of treating guests to dinner through Abridged. The deleted memory soon appeared in Hao Yun's consciousness. Hao Yun saw a familiar scene. A man with a smiley mask on his face appeared. Hao Yun directly felt the vibration in his soul. He shuddered and withdrew his consciousness from the thoughts of You Shang named Zheng.
The Smiley Face Organization, which Hao Yun had almost forgotten, appeared in Hao Yun's eyes again. It turned out that the traveling businessman surnamed Zheng was hinted by the Smiley Face Man, and went to treat Feng Zige to dinner, and was then imprisoned by the Smiley Face Man; until the patrol issued a reward notice Finally, with no other choice, a game was made and the traveling merchant named Zheng was sent back with his brain injury. Normally, if it weren't for Hao Yun, no one would have discovered the existence of the Smiling Man, and that would be the end of it.
Hao Yun quickly asked the staff at the door of the ward to invite the two Dong brothers over. They must see the memory of this smiling man. Hao Yun was very impressed by the Smiley Face Organization, which was very cruel and mysterious. He could not compete with such an organization by himself, so Hao Yun must find reinforcements now.
After getting the news, the Dong brothers ran over quickly. After searching for the soul, the two of them looked grim. The Dong brothers did not expect that the situation would develop like this. Looking at it this way, the role played by the Smiley Face Organization can be imagined. After seeing the expressions of the Dong brothers, Hao Yun understood that these two people should know something about the Smiley Face Organization, which was beyond his expectation. It was Hao Yun's first time dealing with the Smiley Face Organization. Captain Song of Lingdu City always tried his best to deny the existence of the Smiley Face Organization, but looking at the demeanor of the Dong brothers, it was completely different.
"I wonder what Brother Dong and Brother Dong think of this smiling man?" Hao Yun asked directly.
"The development of the situation may be serious now. Your inspection team should have recorded this Smiling Man, but their real name is Smiling Fairies. Wherever they exist, there must be fairies' ruins. If it seems like this, Suzaku City will definitely There are goblin ruins. If this continues, this incident has exceeded the scope of our inspection branch. We must immediately report to the superiors and request support." Dong Shiyi changed his careless style in the past and became cautious in his words and deeds. It seems that this so-called The smiling goblin is not an ordinary terrorist organization.
"It turns out that they are called Smiley Goblins. I have dealt with them before, and one of my elders also died in their hands. They are indeed very cruel, extremely strange, and very difficult to deal with. If you ask for support, please do it as soon as possible. I There is a feeling that the remains of this goblin may be under the earth fire." Hao Yun immediately thought of the strange earth fire. It seems that cracking the earth fire is the key. The Smiley Face Organization probably did not expect that Di Qing could do it.
