A little testing.
Zhong Yan then determined that the Shi Lingzhen spiritual consciousness on the first level of the foundation building was not as good as his own.
Followed from afar.
Go to the 'Wu Yan Tong Xing' store.
Shi Lingzhen asked Xiaohai at the counter where Huo Donglai was going, then left and called a beast cart on the roadside, but the direction was not back to Lingfeng's residence.
Zhong Yan was more than two hundred meters away, following his breath among the crowd.
But at this moment, he was a little confused and couldn't figure out what the other party's mentality was like.
Just when he visited her before, he saw the full love for Huo Donglai in her eyes.
He said he was a 'Brother from the East', and even in front of himself as a guest, he held her husband's hand affectionately, sweet and gentle, natural and not artificial, not like he was pretending at all.
Therefore, even though she was deliberately fishing, based on rational analysis, Zhong Yan felt that the probability of her taking action was very small, and it would take a lot of effort and time to seize the opportunity.
But right now...
Just looking for excitement?
Or is there something hidden in it...
One after another, walking through the streets and alleys, turning left and right.
More than half an hour later.
Shi Lingzhen got off the beast cart, walked two streets, stopped at the door of a small courtyard, looked around and pushed the door open.
Zhong Yan looked around and saw that this was a residential area.
There are many townhouses for monks to rent, similar to the monks' courtyards in Qingyang South District. They only contain formations to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Unlike Lingfeng, there are independent spiritual veins underground to provide spiritual energy.
Zhong Yan went to a teahouse a hundred meters away diagonally across the street, glanced at the catalog posted on the wall, and ordered a pot of 'Mangdang Black Tea' with three spiritual stones.
In the afternoon, there were many guests in the teahouse. Six of the eight tables on the first floor were seated, and two tables were seated under the pergola at the door.
Moreover, the realm of each monk is not low. After a cursory scan, there are four restrained and powerful auras in the foundation building realm.
"This place is not far from Lingfeng, and the area is relatively prosperous. The rent for such a courtyard is definitely not cheap, and buying it is even more expensive..."
Zhong Yan secretly speculated on the possible identity of Shi Lingzhen's concubine. Even if her cultivation level was not as good as Huo Donglai's, her background should be considerable.
The master of Wufeng Peak, Shi Liangxiu, had three sons and two daughters. Two of his sons left the sect and established clans outside the clan.
Shi Lingzhen is the youngest, only twenty-seven years old now. Although he has three spiritual roots, he has good qualifications and is quite favored by Shi Liangxiu.
"She is definitely not short of money. It is also possible that she raised a pretty boy with her own money... If this is the case, it would be best."
If the man has a strong background, it will be difficult to deal with, and it will easily cause trouble for Huo Donglai.
Zhong Yan was drinking tea, thinking, and listening to the chatter of the monks around him.
The topics almost always revolve around the 'Tang Family Taoist Couple Ceremony' and 'Flower Picking Cultivating'.
Just last night, the evil cultivator committed another crime and picked up a female disciple from the Ba Yuan Sect in the inn.
When she was discovered, the female disciple had lost all her cultivation and was lying naked on the couch, as pale as a blank sheet of paper.
"Wori, he escaped again. He really came and went without a trace. What's the patrol team doing for food?"
"The inn has checked and it should be a man named Quan Boguang."
"Quan Boguang, strip all naked, this name is so damn obscene!"
"It must be fake!"
"..."
Not long after, a man in black came over and greeted him several times.
"Senior Dongfang!"
"Fellow Taoist Dongfang is back!"
Zhong Yan turned his head to look, was slightly startled, and then immediately activated the 'Void Concealment' changing aura.
However, after just looking at each other, a strange color flashed in the man's eyes, and he walked forward and sat across from him.
His face is stern, his eyebrows are long and narrow, and his body is thin. He is Dongfang Tuo, a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect's Tianlinggen.
In response to the greetings from others, he just nodded lightly, looked at Zhong Yan Chuanyin and asked directly: "Do you know where shopkeeper Lin Zhengping has gone?"
A smile appeared on Zhong Yan's lips, and he replied via voice transmission: "I don't know, it seems that he is in seclusion."
This move caused many eyes around him to focus on Zhong Yan, who could not see through the realm at all. They secretly guessed that he was a strong man on the same level as Dongfang Tuo.
The teahouse proprietress personally brought a pot of tea over and asked with a smile: "When did Mr. Dongfang come back?"
"Yesterday."
"I guess the harvest this time will be great...you two drink slowly."
After pouring the tea and putting the kettle on, the landlady looked at Zhong Yan's face, twisted her waist and retreated with a charming smile.
Dongfang Tuo continued to transmit the message: "Your secret method is very mysterious. It is similar to Qifeng's Void Concealment. Can you exchange it with me?"
What kind of secret method is it? It's just the characteristics of the dark spiritual root. It can only be activated after the void is hidden. Zhong Yan smiled and replied: "What can I use in exchange for it?"
Dongfang Tuo was silent for a while and said, "You decide the conditions."
"What state is senior brother in now?"
"Nine levels of foundation building."
Zhong Yan looked at each other and pondered for a while, "It's a favor."
Dongfang Tuo's eyes flashed with surprise, he thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Meet you here in three days."
Dongfang Tuo stopped transmitting and picked up the cup to drink tea.
Zhong Yan took the opportunity to chat: "Senior brother, do you live nearby?"
"Um."
"How long have you been in Fairy City?"
"Three years."
"..."
After half a stick of incense, Dongfang Tuo listened to some news in the teahouse, then stood up to pay and leave.
Zhong Yan looked at his back with flickering eyes.
Back then, he used the help of Song Yunhui from the Law Enforcement Palace to trap and kill the Xiaobai Peak bandits, but he only walked with them for a while without saying a word.
But at this moment, he was wearing a face and was recognized by the other party based on his aura.
"It seems that he noticed me at that time..."
The monks come into contact with many and mixed people. If they don't deliberately remember their auras, how can they recognize them at a glance?
"I was only in the middle stage of Qi refining at that time, and he was in the middle stage of foundation building. I don't know what attracted his attention..."
Waited for another half-quarter of an hour.
Shi Lingzhen's aura reappeared, he left the small courtyard and returned to the original road.
Zhong Yan stood still and continued to wait.
After finishing a pot of tea, the charming proprietress served another pot and said with a smile: "Bauhinia tea, a specialty of Mangdang Mountain, given to Taoist friends."
Zhong Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, boss lady."
"Little girl Qiu Mingyue, dare you ask your friend's name?"
Seeing that she seemed to be familiar with Dongfang Tuo, Zhong Yan gave her real name.
Qiu Mingyue bowed as a gift, smiled with her red lips, and finished the order: "Master Zhong, taste it slowly."
It didn't take long.
A young man in a green shirt walked out of the courtyard.
As expected, he was a pretty boy, he looked very young, probably in his early twenties, fair and somewhat bookish, and only had the fifth level of Qi refining.
Watching the other party pass by the door of the teahouse, Zhong Yan paid and greeted the proprietress, then walked to the opposite street and followed him from a distance.
This guy first went to a restaurant to eat and drink, spending more than forty spiritual stones in one go.
Then he visited the casino and bought thirty spiritual stone chips, and the highest he won was more than six hundred.
He refused to leave until midnight, when he lost all his money, including one hundred and twenty yuan, and then left the casino with a depressed look on his face.
"How could Shi Lingzhen fall in love with such a person..."
Zhong Yan muttered that in terms of appearance, he was not as handsome and masculine as Huo Donglai, and his cultivation was far behind.
"Are you good at sleeping on the couch? Can you play?"
Followed to a secluded alley with no one around.
Zhong Yan took a shot of the Divine Walking Talisman and stepped forward, reaching out to press his lower back. The energy in his palms was stagnant, and he said with a smile: "Calm down, otherwise your Dantian will be shattered in the next moment."
The man was horrified, with cold sweat breaking out all over his body, and he didn't dare to look back, "Come on, senior, I have something to say!"
Zhong Yan put his arms around his shoulders, poured vitality into him to seal his cultivation, and pushed him forward: "Don't be nervous. I have business to take care of you. Let's go to your residence and tell him."
Arrive at the small courtyard and enter the training stone room.
Zhong Yan condensed the isolation barrier and sat on the chair.
The man's buttocks trembled and he knelt down, swallowed his saliva and said directly: "Senior Shi invited you here, I promise I won't harass her in the future, really!"
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "Only the dead can keep secrets."
The man's eyes were full of panic, and he said with a fierce expression: "You can't kill me!"
"As soon as I die, the story will spread throughout the city!"
"Besides, you can't blame me for this. Senior Shi took the initiative to find me and just threw it away after use. How can I kill the donkey?"
…
