The appearance of Gongsun Subaru was like pie in the sky to the Fu family, who were now walking on thin ice.
Although Fu Qingyu didn't think that the experience he had with his aunt and grandma was deliberately fabricated, she didn't dare to completely believe what he said, and she still felt a sense of caution in her heart.
Gongsun Subaru was not in a hurry to let Fu Qingyu accept and trust him.
He has no worries in this world, is alone, and has enough time and patience.
"Little friend, take a look at this thing first." Gongsun Subaru opened his palms, and there were some fine black particles on his hands.
It looks a bit like smashed ore, but if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be the case. There is a pungent smell on it.
Gongsun Subaru gently picked it up with his hands, and the hard-looking particles were crushed into powder and scattered in all directions with the wind.
"Did you dig this out of the ground?" Fu Qingyu thought of what Gongsun Subaru had just done before he showed up.
These black particles came from the underground of the Fu family.
The soil in the Fu family land, as well as in the nearby Lingshan and medicinal fields, is very particular. After hundreds of years of nourishment, even if it is three feet away, the soil within it is all high-quality spiritual soil, and there will never be such a strange smell. Nose stuff.
Unless, this is the change brought about by the fire...
She looked at the crushed black powder, and her eyes widened suddenly, "Senior, can you use these powders to determine where the strange fire that burned the family's land came from?"
"That's exactly what I mean." Gongsun Subaru nodded slightly. It's easy to talk to smart people.
Qiu Lian, a junior, knows everything, but it's a pity that she already has a teacher, otherwise he would have to take her as his disciple, so that she can pass on the mantle of him and Qiu Lian, combine the two alchemy skills into one, and cultivate the supreme alchemy!
Regret flashed across his eyes, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in Gongsun Subaru's mind.
So what if I have a mentor? Is Gongsun Subaru that kind of person who sticks to vulgar etiquette?
of course not!
There are no rules in the way of heaven, and you cannot teach others skills unless you are a master and a disciple.
No matter whether Qiulian, a junior, wants to be his master or not, his alchemy skills can be passed on to others!
Fu Qingyu didn't know what the senior in front of her was thinking about at this moment, and his expression changed again and again. In the end, in addition to being full of admiration, the look he looked at her was actually a little more loving, as if he were looking at his junior.
"...Senior, do you know the origin of this thing?" Fu Qingyu asked, pointing to the black ashes on the ground.
Gongsun Subaru's expression turned gloomy, and his brows showed a bit of solemnity. "First, come with me to see what the ground looks like."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and took Fu Qingyu to the bottom of the deep pit he had just dug.
Ten feet below the ground, many black granular objects with pungent smell have condensed.
Fu Qingyu waved a few rays of spiritual energy a little further away, and found that the situation at the bottom of the pit was not an isolated case. There were more such strange things underground in the entire Fu family land.
"How did this come about?" Fu Qingyu was shocked, but Gongsun Subaru obviously knew something, so she raised her hand to him, "Senior, please clarify my doubts."
Gongsun Subaru did not rush to answer, but asked first, "Young friend, you should be able to feel that it is difficult to condense spells and mobilize spiritual energy in this place, right?"
Fu Qingyu nodded.
She had this feeling as early as when the spirit boat flew outside Fuguang City.
It was first discovered through the formation disk on the spirit boat. Usually, the formation embedded in the formation disk can absorb part of the surrounding spiritual energy to push the spirit boat forward, which can slightly slow down the consumption of some spiritual stones.
But when she arrived near Fuguang City, she found that the spiritual stones piled up next to the formation disk began to be consumed quickly. It could be seen that the formation disk could not absorb the spiritual energy, and the entire spiritual boat had to rely on the spiritual stone for supply.
"Because this is a land of extraordinary spirits?" This is the outside world's current understanding of Fuguang City and the Fu Family Land.
"Yes, the so-called Jue Ling means to cut off the original power of this place and make it lose its vitality. The fire not only burned everything here, but also robbed the vitality here. This place... I am afraid that it will not be able to recover for another hundred years. 10%." Gongsun Subaru's brows were still furrowed. To be able to do this, the strength of the person who set the fire at the beginning should not be underestimated, and it is very likely that he was even above him.
Such a character does not exist in Dongzhou, but only in the Zhongling Realm.
"As far as I know, there are only three kinds of strange fires in the Middle Spirit Realm that can plunder vitality. One of them is controlled by the Xizhou Fire Temple, and the other two belong to the Xuanling Palace."
Thinking that the juniors in front of him had never heard of the forces in the Middle Spirit Realm, Gongsun Subaru gave a brief introduction, mainly talking about the great power of the Xuanling Palace in the Middle Spirit Realm.
Compared to the Fire Temple, which has few disciples and has always been reclusive, Gongsun Subaru actually prefers that the strange fire that burns the Fu clan comes from the Xuanling Palace.
In this way...even if the person who controls the strange fire is not from Xuanling Palace, he still has enough capital to negotiate a deal with Xuanling Palace. After all, the strange fire from Xuanling Palace is not something that can be borrowed by just anyone.
Gongsun Subaru really couldn't understand. The Fu family was obviously located in Dongzhou, and in the past few hundred years, only Qiulian, a member of the clan who went to the Middle Spiritual Realm to practice, had come out. Why would someone with such ability keep an eye on the Fu family?
"Senior, wait a moment..."
Fu Qingyu keenly grasped the key point in what he just said, "You just said that the strange fire not only cut off the vitality of this place, but also robbed the original power of this place?"
"It's because the original power was taken away that this place lost all its vitality and became a so-called spiritual place." Gongsun Subaru reiterated the cause and effect relationship.
The power of origin.
Fu Qingyu silently repeated these four words in her mind and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Maybe they were all looking in the wrong direction before. The Fu family's demise may not be because of any deep hatred or business interference, but because of the original power.
Fu Qingyu thought of the millet flowers cultivated by the Fu family and the original tree that had long since withered after being brought back to the clan.
Could it be that what Sword Master Lingyun wants is not Xiaosuhua at all, but a way to control the original power of Dongzhou?
If that were the case, Sword Master Lingyun would do this to the family just for his own selfish reasons.
Hundreds of members of the Fu family died so innocently!
"Little friend, you already know who the enemy is?" Gongsun Subaru asked, catching a glimpse of the hatred flashing in Fu Qingyu's eyes.
"We are inseparable from each other." According to Pei Jingzhi, collecting Xiaosuhua and imprisoning Sword Master Lingxiao were all done by Sword Master Ling Yun. We don't know if there are others behind him, but he must be responsible for the annihilation of the Fu family.
Fu Qingyu guessed that what he wanted was a spiritual plant that could connect with the power of the origin, perhaps for the origin tree that his grandfather had brought from the Ancient Immortal Mansion.
He wanted to use this spiritual plant to mobilize and plunder the original power of Dongzhou.
If that was the case, he mistook the Xiaosu flower for the origin tree... and in the end he could only fetch water from a bamboo basket.
