Several days passed in succession.
Li Baitian received 200,000 middle-grade spiritual stones.
Except for Sister Zha's hint that Li Baitian was targeting Elder Huang on the first day, she never mentioned this matter again, nor did she practice near the academic building. Although the aura here was rich, she still didn't like it.
The other elders seized all the time to practice and worked hard to absorb spiritual energy. Even Elder Huang sat motionless beside the altar, like an old monk in meditation.
Li Baitian checked the juniors, and most of them were still at the first level of the Qi training stage. Li Huahua and Zhang Bairen had reached the third level of the Qi training stage. Wan Quanxian was on the second level of the Qi training stage, one step into the third level. The status of the layer.
At this rate, the goal of the fourth level of the Qi training period will be completed very quickly.
But what he didn't expect was that Ye Feng, a junior from the Ye family, would actually break through to the second level of the Qi training period and be in the leading position in the class.
"It seems that the Ye family is not without merit. The basic resources and talents are quite good."
Li Baitian murmured.
Not long after, Sister Zha came.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Sister Zha changed into a bolder outfit, which is a feast for the eyes.
Sister Zha looked around and looked at Li Baitian: "I see that you haven't practiced properly for so many days. I guess the spiritual energy here won't have much effect on you, right?"
In her opinion, Li Baitian and she belong to the same type of people, people with advanced cultivation, otherwise how would they dare to refine weapons with bare hands.
Li Baitian nodded: "Yes, Sister Zha is here, but what are your orders?"
"The academy has a task for you. You must have heard about it in Haoqi City. In recent months, a large number of people have been missing inexplicably in the city. The Lord of Haoqi City has also come to me many times. I hope the academy can send help to help. Investigate this matter thoroughly.”
"These matters have nothing to do with us, so I have been prevarication, but recently, a group of disciples sent by my academy also disappeared inexplicably, and just yesterday, those disciples showed signs of sending back messages, but It was fleeting and could not capture the content, but it was certain that they were still alive."
Sister Zha briefly tells what happened.
A small group of disciples went out to perform a mission. The goal of the mission was to help the Rising Sun City next door handle the beast tide incident. Several nearby cities sent reinforcements, but only the monks from Haoqi City lost their news.
"Sister Zha suspects that those disciples are the same as the missing people in the city..."
Li Baitian frowned. On the first day he traveled back in time, he learned from a letter from the organization that a large number of spies had disappeared in Haoqi City recently, so he tried his best to behave less like a spy and increase his sense of presence to avoid becoming a missing person. population.
I originally thought that this matter was related to Zhengyi Academy, but now it seems that at least Sister Zha is unaware of this situation.
Sister Zha said: "Yes, you go and investigate, there will be someone in the city to cooperate with you."
"Can I refuse? I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the academy. I might not be able to take on a big job."
Li Baitian said that he had to guard his one-third of an acre of land to make money, so how could he have time to do anything else.
"No, look at these elders, all of them are cultivating. You are the only one wandering around with nothing to do. Who will go if you don't go?"
"If you do it this time, you will get a big reward when you come back."
"You have made contributions to the academy, and the academy will not treat you badly."
Sister Zha said with a smile.
Li Baitian couldn't believe it. You told Xu Kun the same thing at the beginning, but in the end, you turned around and put him in water prison.
Li Baitian: "But I still have to guard the altar, and I will have to share the money in the future."
Sister Zha: "I will save your share for you. Don't worry, no one can touch it. The area around the altar has been on track in the past few days. I will send someone to keep an eye on it."
"Okay, when should I leave?"
Li Baitian sighed, knowing he couldn't escape.
Sister Zha said: "Get ready and set off. I also have to go out for something. I will say hello to Haoqi City in advance."
When Li Baitian returned to the cave, he had nothing to deal with.
But now I still lack a handy weapon.
Although his body is very strong, he has never practiced any martial arts, so it is difficult to hit anyone with rich experience in actual combat.
A fire was lit in the brick kiln, various materials were thrown into it, and after a rough operation.
A mace that is half the height of a man is freshly baked. The bones and flesh have been refined, and the strength is astonishing. It is easy to swing a stick weighing several dozen kilograms.
Carrying the mace on his back, he found the disciple in charge of collecting the money and gave a brief explanation before preparing to leave.
"Father, are you going on a long trip?"
Li Huahua saw Li Baitian fully armed and ran over with short legs.
"It's very dangerous this time. A group of disciples in the academy are missing. Sister Zha asked me to go and find out. You should practice cultivation and break through the fourth level of the Qi training stage as soon as possible."
Li Baitian touched the little boy's head and smiled lightly.
Li Huahua nodded: "Father, are you going alone?"
Li Baitian: "Yes, if you are not familiar with the place, you can't find anyone else to go with."
"Just now before Sister Zha left, she asked me to give you a letter and give it to Uncle Jiang Chuan at Yaya Le Pharmacy."
Li Huahua took out a letter, handed it to Li Baitian and said.
"Understood, I'll be there in a minute."
Li Baitian put away the letter and left the academy quickly.
…
Outside the academy, on the wasteland.
Li Baitian secretly ran to the wall of Haoqi City, stopped in front of a cracked brick, dug into the soil, and took out the crystal ball he had buried before.
Zhengyi Academy has the core mission of the organization. He must eliminate all factors that may be suspicious, so it is impossible to bring the crystal ball into the academy.
Enter Haoqi City from the city gate.
The streets were busy with traffic and everything was business as usual.
He found the blacksmith shop with ease and planned to visit Ye Qingmei. After all, he hadn't seen her for several days and he still missed her a little.
But there were only four old men in the blacksmith shop. After asking, they found out that Ye Qingmei had traveled far away a few days ago and disappeared.
"Brother Li, you are finally here. I have had a hard time waiting for you!"
"Your wife ran away a few days ago and left the blacksmith shop to our four brothers. I'm going to be worried to death!"
Ten thousand households complained, and grabbing Li Baitian was like grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Don't listen to old man Wan's nonsense. What Mrs. Ye said was that she went out to do errands and came back as soon as she finished."
"But when Master Li comes back, we will be able to relax a lot. The blacksmith shop will now be returned to its original owner."
Old man Zhang said.
The four of them came here just to see the beauty. It was quite enjoyable. After all, Li Baitian, the light bulb, was not here, so they could admire Ye Qingmei unscrupulously.
But within two days of admiring it, Ye Qingmei went out and left the blacksmith shop under their care.
What's the point of staying in the blacksmith shop if the most beautiful lady isn't there.
Moreover, the business of the blacksmith shop is so good that the four of them are forced to open the business every day and calculate accounts every day. If they make a miscalculation, they will quarrel with each other and be scolded by customers. This work is really not done by humans!
"Well, I'm just passing by this time. The academy asked me to go out on a mission. I planned to visit my wife. Since she's not here, I'll have to worry about the four seniors."
After saying this, Li Baitian turned around and ran away, disappearing at the end of the street.
Only four old men were left messy in the wind.
"Old Man Wan, we seem to have been tricked..."
