Two months have passed, a secluded manor,
Shen Long, Song Qingyu and a girl in a green dress with picturesque features were sitting in a blue stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
"That's it. I said it fails at this link every time. This is the problem."
The girl in the green skirt showed a look of realization on her face.
"It's nothing. Fairy Song will refine it a few more times, and sooner or later she will be able to refine the high-grade elixir."
Shen Long said with a smile.
"That being said, Shuyun still has a lot to learn from Fellow Daoist Shen."
Song Qingyu was all smiles.
Song Shuyun is a third-level alchemist, but she cannot refine high-grade elixirs.
"Fellow Daoist Song, it's been so long and there's still no news?"
Shen Long talked about business.
Song Qingyu was about to answer when Song Shuheng walked in and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, we have found some clues. Two foundation-building monks met your senior brother in the wild. There were several foundation-building monks following him at that time. They were A disciple of Xuanyin Sanren, Xuanyin Sanren is a Sanren cultivator in the Danjie stage and currently lives in Qingyangfang City."
He took out a blue jade slip, handed it to Shen Long, and said, "Here are the details."
Shen Long's consciousness swept away, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
"This matter involves Xuanyin Sanren. There is no direct evidence to prove that your senior brother was killed by them, so we can't take action."
Song Shuheng looked embarrassed.
Without evidence, it was impossible for them to deal with the disciples of Xuanyin Sanren.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Song. Leave the rest of the matter to me and it has nothing to do with your Song family."
Shen Long took out a cyan porcelain bottle and handed it to Shen Long.
"You're so polite, Fellow Daoist Shen, it's just a trivial matter."
Song Shuheng declined politely.
Shen Long insisted again and again, and Song Shuheng finally accepted.
"Excuse me for many days, Fellow Daoist Song. Thank you very much for the hospitality of the Song family. If you need my help in the future, just ask."
Shen Long promised and stood up to leave.
······
Qingtang Valley is the largest city in the Yu State. It has a superior geographical location, a large number of business travelers, and a large flow of people.
The streets are crowded with people and noisy cars and horses.
There is a secluded small courtyard with blue tiles. There is a two-story green attic and a blue stone pavilion. Qian Dafu is sitting in the stone pavilion and drinking tea.
He took out a golden communication plate, entered a magic formula, and said respectfully: "Uncle Shen, where are you?"
"At the door of your residence, open the door."
Shen Long's voice sounded.
Qian Dafu responded, put away the interrogation tray, and strode towards the courtyard gate.
He opened the courtyard door and saw Shen Long standing at the door.
Shen Long walked in and Qian Dafu closed the courtyard door.
"How's the investigation going for you?"
Shen Long asked.
"This is the situation of the Song family. The monks or forces who have personal grudges with the Song family are all recorded on it."
Qian Dafu took out a blue jade slip and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long did not fully trust the Song family. He asked Qian Dafu to collect monks or forces who had grudges with the Song family to avoid serving as spearmen for the Song family.
Shen Long glanced at his consciousness and nodded. The content in the jade slip did not mention Xuanyin Sanren.
"that's it?"
Shen Long asked.
"These are the evil cultivators that have appeared in the ten surrounding countries within a hundred years, and there are also cases of missing monks. Before and after the disappearance of Senior Brother Xu, no evil cultivators were heard in the Yu Kingdom."
Qian Dafu took out a blue jade slip and handed it to Shen Long.
"Gone?"
Shen Long continued to ask.
"There is also the situation of the local forces and high-level monks in Yu State."
Qian Dafu took out a golden jade slip and handed it to Shen Long.
"I didn't ask you to collect this information. How did you think of collecting this information? How did you collect it?"
Shen Long said doubtfully.
"The disciple thought it would be helpful to investigate the case, so he spent a lot of money to buy it. This is not a core secret. You can buy it with a few more spiritual stones."
Qian Dafu said.
After Shen Long checked the contents of the jade slip, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Judging from the contents of these jade slips, the Song family has no personal grudges against Xuanyin Sanren.
"Uncle Shen, have you found any clues?"
Qian Dafu asked.
"There are some clues that I need to verify. You continue to collect intelligence here, pay attention to the things that Senior Brother Xu has used, and don't reveal your identity."
Shen Long ordered.
"Yes, Master Shen."
Qian Dafu agreed.
Shen Long gave a few words of advice, then turned and left.
After leaving Fangshi, Shen Long turned into a ray of light and walked away through the sky, quickly disappearing into the sky.
Half a month later, he arrived in Qingyangfang City with a different face and no one recognized him.
Shen Long calmed down, disguised himself as a foundation-building monk, and walked around the streets.
Qingyangfang City was not as big as Qingtang Valley. Shen Long took a walk on the street.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Long appeared in a street with few pedestrians. This was a residential area with pavilions and courtyards.
His eyes swept over and landed on a three-story black attic. On the plaque were the three characters "Xuanyin Pavilion". According to the information provided by Song Shuheng, Xuanyin Sanren lived in Xuanyin Pavilion.
When Shen Long passed by the entrance of Xuanyin Pavilion, the door opened, and a short, fat old man in black robe came out. The old man in black robe was only in the late stage of foundation building. He glanced at Shen Long and stopped. focus on.
Shen Long slapped a white spirit beast bag on his waist with his palm, causing the spirit beast to remember the fluctuations of this person's consciousness.
He walked around the city and rented a small courtyard with green tiles near Xuanyin Pavilion and lived there.
In Xuanyin Pavilion, there is a secret room.
An old man in black robes, as thin as a bone, sat on the futon, his breath as vast as the vast ocean.
He held a Dharma plate with flashing black light in his hand and frowned.
"Looking for someone? I understand. The Thirty-Six Kingdoms are quite large and it's not easy to find someone. I'll try my best!"
The old man in black robe said.
Xuanyin Sanren, in the middle stage of pill formation.
"If you have any news, please inform me immediately and I will take action."
A pleasant female voice sounded.
"I know, let's do it!"
The old man in black robe agreed and put away the interrogation tray.
Half a month passed. In a secluded small courtyard with green tiles, Shen Long was sitting in a blue stone pavilion. A hundred-eyed golden cicada was lying on the side, its eyes bursting with dazzling golden light. It was monitoring Xuanyin Pavilion.
The eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada can easily see through the restrictions of the small courtyard and monitor the movements of Xuanyin Pavilion.
Shen Long has collected the portraits of Xuanyin Sanren, and he will follow Xuanyin Sanren as long as they leave Xuanyin Pavilion.
Xu Xin met the disciples of Xuanyin Sanren, who are currently not in Fang City.
The Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada made a sharp chirping sound. Shen Long's eyes lit up, he put down the tea cup, put the Hundred-Eyed Golden Cicada back into the spirit beast bag, and left his residence.
As soon as he walked out of his residence, Xuanyin Sanren walked past Shen Long.
Shen Long walked in the opposite direction and patted the white spirit beast bag on his waist with his palm.
He started wandering on the street, and judging from the feedback from the spirit-chasing beasts, Xuanyin Sanren had been in Fang City.
When Shen Long passed by a nine-story green attic, the spirit beast bag where the spirit beast was chasing shook.
He looked at the plaque on the green attic and could see the three characters "Qingyang Tower".
There was a teahouse nearby. Shen Long walked into the teahouse and asked for a private room. He could see the entrance of Qingyang Tower through the window of the private room.
Less than half an hour later, the spirit chasing beast warned Shen Long.
Shen Long came to the window and looked towards Qingyang Tower. He could see Xuanyin San people leaving Qingyang Tower.
He paid the spirit stone and left the teahouse.
Shen Long followed Xuanyin Sanren and gathered more than ten feet together to take a look.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and Shen Long did not follow them too closely.
Xuanyin Sanren did not stay on the street and returned to Xuanyin Pavilion.
When Shen Long saw Xuanyin Sanren walking into Xuanyin Pavilion, he did not follow him.
An hour later, Shen Long returned to his residence.
He walked into a secret room, sat cross-legged on a red futon, took out a blood dragon pill, swallowed it, and started practicing his skills.
The spirit-chasing beast has locked onto the consciousness of Xuanyin Sanren. As long as he leaves Fangshi, the spirit-chasing beast will warn Shen Long, and Shen Long can focus his energy and time on cultivation.
