At Trinity Tavern, Xu Wen arrived in disguise and asked for a pot of spiritual wine and two plates of spiritual fruit.
The spiritual fruits are almost finished, only one spiritual peach and five spiritual dates are left.
On the peach plate, there is a peach core on the edge of the peach.
This was the secret code for his meeting with Liu Minghe. Most people would not notice these details at all, but both parties knew it at first sight.
In fact, he is already a disciple of the Zhiyuan Sect, so he can show up openly and openly, and there is nothing that others can do to him.
But driven by his usual caution and caution, he still used the Thousand Phantom Masks to disguise himself.
I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that someone will follow me and eventually track me to the spiritual cave.
There was something strange today. Liu Minghe usually came very early. Most of the time, he was waiting for Xu Wen, but today it was Xu Wen who was waiting for him, and he still hadn't arrived after waiting for a long time.
Is there something urgent and I can't get away?
Confused, Xu Wen stood up and was about to leave. At this time, the waiter from the tavern happened to pass by his table.
After a pause, Xu Wen suddenly waved his sleeves, put away the remaining spiritual fruits, and strode away.
As soon as he left the store, he immediately entered the crowded street. After a few turns, the Invisible Clothes and Thousand Illusionary Faces were all activated.
Soon, he turned into a yellow-faced man with a vicissitudes of life, walking slowly on the street.
He found a deserted place and took out the letter that the waiter had given him on the table. Instead of tearing it open, he directly injected mana into it.
This was a small trick he and Liu Minghe had agreed upon. If anyone tried to tear it open, the entire letter would immediately be reduced to ashes.
Lines of text appeared on the envelope and soon disappeared without a trace.
With five fingers, the letter immediately turned into ashes. With a slight shake, the ashes also dissipated without a trace.
With his face unchanged, Xu Wen continued to wander around the shops, but his heart was already filled with anger.
The letter was left by Liu Minghe and contained only one sentence -
There are rumors circulating that we have obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, be careful!
The Foundation Establishment Pill is of great importance, and there is no need to say more.
Not to mention those who cultivate Qi, even those who are experts in foundation building may take action for the sake of their descendants.
After allocating the Foundation Establishment Pills, Xu Wen repeatedly told everyone not to mention it to anyone, even the closest people.
Originally, when he thought about it, this matter should still be kept secret for a while.
Unexpectedly, within a short period of time, rumors about the Foundation Establishment Pill began to circulate.
Even Liu Minghe knew about it. Not only was it known to everyone, it must have spread widely.
Who could have leaked the news about the Foundation Establishment Pill?
There are only seven people who know about the Foundation Establishment Pill, and Qin Sanjian can rule them out first.
With his method, no matter what he wants to do, there is no need to spread this kind of news as a means. There are only six people in the team left.
He didn't mention the Foundation Establishment Pill to anyone, and Zhang Jiuting and Li Xiuwai, who had obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill, would definitely not take the initiative to leak the news.
Xu Wen was sure of this. Zhang Jiuting and Li Xiuwai were not the kind of shallow people who liked to show off, and they could definitely control their mouths.
The remaining three are Hai Zhenzhu, Li Huizhong, and Zhang Longjiu. They are the ones most likely to leak the news.
First of all, exclude Li Huizhong. She and Li Xiuwai are twin sisters. They have a deep love for each other and are unlikely to do such things that harm others and do not benefit themselves.
The possibility of Hai Zhenzhu is also very small. After all, she gave up the Foundation Establishment Pill herself.
Moreover, Xu Wen had a very good impression of the little girl and always felt that she would not do such a thing.
The only one left is Zhang Longjiu, who is the most suspect.
When the spoils were distributed, he was the most embarrassed. He came in last place and immediately lost the opportunity to choose the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Unlike Hai Zhenzhu, he had the financial resources to choose the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he was the most likely to leak the news due to his resentment.
But all this is Xu Wen's speculation. If Zhang Jiuting and the two are bewitched by magic, naturally no secrets can be kept.
It's not completely impossible if the Li sisters turn against each other, or if Haizhen suddenly regrets her choice.
Moreover, Zhang Longjiu's leak of information was a bit contrary to common sense, and Xu Wen couldn't figure it out.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I stopped thinking about it.
It had already happened, and it was useless to think about it. He turned to think about the impact of this incident on himself.
Liu Minghe only said that the Foundation Establishment Pill was among their team, and did not limit Xu Wen and others. The targets were spread to a dozen people, which was far better than six or three of them.
But we must not take it lightly. For a foundation-building pill, some people will do anything, including blood relatives, masters, apprentices, and friends.
This can be seen from the fact that Liu Minghe did not come in person, but asked someone to send a message.
He must have been controlled or felt that he was being watched before looking for an opportunity to do this.
In the Liu family, he was an outsider after all. Even if Liu Nishang and Liu Yubo treated him like a relative, others would not think so.
The most troublesome thing is that he is worried that Qiu Yunzhang may take the opportunity to cause trouble, deliberately spread rumors, and lure the Foundation Establishment Pill to himself so that he can kill people with a knife.
No, it's not possible, but certain. Qiu Yunchang will definitely do this.
Otherwise, he is not worthy of becoming an inner disciple of Zhiyuan Sect.
Unexpectedly, he had just relieved the pressure brought by Qiu Yunchang, and then encountered this kind of thing again in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, this matter is much more troublesome than the former.
After all, Qiu Yunchang is just a person, with at most a few helpers, but for the Foundation Establishment Pill, almost most strangers may become his opponents.
"You must never reveal your address, and try not to reveal your true identity until Master comes back!"
Secretly making up his mind, Xu Wen didn't go back, and directly found an inn to stay. Waiting until late at night, he changed his appearance and went straight to the ghost market.
The ghost market is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, which is the best place to get information.
It's been a while since I've been to the ghost market, but it's no different from the past. It's still bustling with people, and there's still intrigue and deceit.
Except for some changes in the faces of the people, time seemed to have stopped flowing in this area.
No matter how long it’s been since you’ve been here, this place will always look like this and never change.
Habitually turning on the Heavenly Eye and Treasure Light Technique, he began to walk slowly in the ghost market while listening to other people's conversations.
After just wandering around for a while, Xu Wen was secretly alarmed. News about the Foundation Establishment Pill had been widely circulated in the ghost market. He almost heard someone talking about this topic after walking a few steps.
However, after all, the people in the ghost market have low cultivation level, and most of them spread rumors and even add their own imaginations randomly, which has no credibility at all.
After turning around for several times, he didn't get any useful information. Xu Wen was about to leave when a person suddenly flashed in front of him, and there was a small wave of hands in his hand.
His heart moved, and he slowly squatted down, pretending to observe the stalls next to him, chatting with the stall owner at random, but his peripheral vision was always on the other person.
After sizing up the other person carefully, he followed the other person quietly.
