Volume 5 Sword Qi 9 Xiao Xiao Eight Hundred and Eighty Zuo Gongquan

A month later, somewhere in the rolling mountains hidden in the gray mist in the northwest of the Zhongtian Chalk Continent, there was a complex of buildings covered in dark and gloomy atmosphere, with an area of ​​about tens of acres, including towers, attics, palaces , an ellipsoid-shaped faint mana barrier enveloped all the buildings inside.

The gray-black Yin Qi floated gently over the building, isolating everything here from the outside world.

Inside the mana barrier, people in gray clothes can be seen speeding to and fro from time to time, which is quite lively.

In a secret room at the top of a black tower with more than ten floors, a dove-faced old man in a purple brocade robe was sitting cross-legged.

This person's face was as thin as a ghost, and his two eye sockets were deeply sunken, looking as thin as a skeleton.

The dove-faced old man was meditating and practicing, holding a black spar in each of his arms. From time to time, a faint gray air would fly out of the spar and be sucked into the old man's mouth.

Suddenly, the void in the secret room fluctuated, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, standing two steps away from the old man with the dove face.

"Are you the black old man of the Jackdaw Sect?" The figure was covered with a layer of faint blackness, and the appearance could not be seen clearly, but the voice seemed to be that of a young man.

The dove-faced old man was terrified, and was about to make a move when there was a sharp clang, and something cold and sharp touched his forehead, and a slight tingling sensation came.

The dove-faced old man froze immediately, and he had no doubt that if he moved again, his head would be pierced immediately.

This secret room of his is completely sealed and there are countless formations to restrict the entire tower, but the person in front of him can sneak in without making a sound, which is already very illustrative.

"Could it be a monk in the real alchemy realm?"

The dove-faced old man didn't dare to release his spiritual sense to sense the black figure's cultivation level, his thoughts changed rapidly and he secretly guessed uncertainly, so he could only answer honestly:

"Yes, this junior is Wu Shen. Dare I ask senior what is your order?"

"Let me ask you, five years ago, in the Tongyang Mountains in the southeast of the mainland, did you come into contact with a middle-aged monk in white clothes with scars on his face?" The black figure said lightly, although his tone was calm, but faintly revealing. There was a bad breath.

The old man with dove face felt a sudden chill in his heart, tried his best to collect the ups and downs of memories from his mind, finally recalled the long journey a few years ago, and said hastily:

"What the senior said is true. The junior had just advanced to the late stage of crystal transformation, and went to the Tongyang Mountains to find a hunting group that had joined in order to blindly attract medicine. There was indeed such a person in the hunting group."

"Very well, how much do you know about this person?" The voice of the black figure raised a little.

"The man claimed to be surnamed Fan. He was a casual cultivator in the True Alchemy Realm. He was also one of the leaders of the hunting group. He was very powerful in both martial arts and spirit weapons. However, he had a withdrawn personality and rarely communicated with others. The younger generation only stayed in the hunting group for half a year because he found the medicine he needed, so he left the hunting group with an excuse, and he didn't stay in the Tongyang Mountains after that, so that's all he knew about it.

The dove-faced old man didn't know what the black figure wanted to know, but he also knew that the only way to survive was to fully cooperate with the other party, so he searched his stomach and tried his best to recall that memory that was normal to him.

"Is there nothing else? Think about it carefully, and don't let go of any details." The black figure ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"By the way, senior, I remembered... that person should be an alchemist, and his alchemy skills are quite brilliant." The old man with a dove face seemed to suddenly remember something,

Said with a raised voice.

"Go on." The black air around the black figure rolled slightly.

"During that hunt, the hunting group once chased a golden-eyed poisonous ape to the mouth of a valley filled with poisonous miasma. The monk surnamed Fan collected several spiritual materials from the hunting group and refined them casually. Let us wear a few poison-resolving pills on our bodies to shield the poisonous miasma in the valley." Said the old man with a dove face.

"Oh? Is that poison pill still on you?" The voice of the black figure sounded a little excited.

"No, after killing the golden-eyed poisonous ape, that man took back the poison-resolving pill." The old man with a dove face said hastily.

The black figure was silent for a while, and after a while, said lightly:

"Give me the list of people in that hunting group and the places where you fought in the Tongyang Mountains, and mark them out on the map in detail."

"It's senior." The dove-faced old man was stunned when he heard the words, but then he quickly agreed with joy in his heart, and took out a scorched yellow map. After thinking carefully for a while, he marked a few places on it .

Afterwards, he took out another blank jade slip and stuck it on his forehead. With one hand, he released his mental power and carefully copied the map into it, very obedient.

A quarter of an hour later, the black figure flew out of the high tower of the Jackdaw Sect without a sound, and landed on a cliff not far away.

The black air on the figure slowly dissipated, revealing Liu Ming's figure, but at this moment his brows were tightly frowned, and his expression was quite depressed.

In the past month, according to the information recorded in the jade slips, he has been tracking down the whereabouts of the Thousand Illusory Demons, but he has gained very little.

That person seemed to be extremely cautious, every time he stayed in a place or contacted people, he would wipe out all traces.

Liu Ming managed to inquire this time, and found the old man Jiumian, who had had direct contact with him, but he did not expect to find his exact whereabouts.

"However, it is a small gain to know that Qianhuan Renmojing is good at alchemy, and it would be even better if he could get the elixir refined by this person.

"Liu Ming sighed and muttered to himself.

Nether Soul Searching Technique can rely on some sporadic breaths to perceive the approximate location of the body within a certain range. Even the mana left in the refining elixir is enough for it to cast spells.

He was able to kill many evil cultivators in a row in just two years before, also relying on this magical tracking secret technique.

After Liu Ming's face was uncertain, he flipped one hand, a white light flashed in his palm, and the jade hand given by the dove-faced old man appeared in his hand.

Speaking of which, the dove-faced old man was quite acquainted, not only listed the list of members of the hunting group five years ago, but also the general identities of these people he learned.

However, most of them even have vague names, and they can only be called by certain surnames.

For this kind of hunting group composed of casual cultivators, monks who get together by chance usually form long-term or short-term organizations because of the same purpose. They usually enter some dangerous areas, do some hunting of monsters, explore ruins, The task of collecting spiritual materials and grasses.

Because they are very free to come and go, the members are quite complicated, wary of each other, and usually do not disclose their real names.

According to Liu Ming's judgment, most of the people on the list are untraceable people, but the leader of the hunting group, in addition to the monk Fan surnamed under the pseudonym of Thousand Illusionary Demon, also has a Zhendan monk surnamed Zuo.

Regarding this person, the old man with a dove face explained in detail:

"Zuo Gongquan, the head of a small sect in the Tongyang Mountains, the main recruiter of the hunting group..."

"It's good to have a name and a surname. Since this person is the leader of the hunting group together with Thousand Illusionary Demons, he should know a little more about him than the old man with a dove face." After Liu Ming thought about it, he raised his sleeves and went The Daiyue jade boat was sacrificed, and after floating on it, the flying boat turned into a red shadow and galloped away towards the distance.

The Tongyang Mountains are a medium-sized mountain range close to the southeast of the Zhongtian Chalk Continent. It stretches tens of thousands of miles from west to east. Most of the mountains are copper-iron veins, hence the name.

In this mountain range, the vitality of heaven and earth is very strong, among which monsters and beasts appear frequently, and there are also many spiritual herbs. Many monks come here to hunt from time to time, many of them are in the crystal transformation period, and even high-level monks in the real alchemy state. In addition, there are also some Small sects took root here.

In a flat mountain depression to the east of the mountain range, more than a hundred buildings of different heights are faintly arranged here, forming a small square city.

It was noon at this moment, and there was a stream of people in the square city, noisy and tense, and it seemed extremely lively.

There is a three-storey wooden loft at a prominent position in the central square of Fangshi. There is a huge black and shiny plaque hanging on the door. On it is written "Jubaolou, three golden lacquered characters, in the sunlight." Against the direct sunlight, it shone brightly, which was particularly eye-catching.

The space in the attic is also quite open, and rows of counters are neatly displayed in it. The tops are filled with medicinal pills, talismans, spiritual herbs, monster materials, etc. From time to time, people come in and out of the shop. .

The business is so prosperous, the shopkeeper and the guys in the shop are all smiling, and they work harder to greet the business in the shop.

After the old shopkeeper in the middle of the year had a conversation with a customer who came forward to inquire, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor.

Speaking of which, in this square city, the larger shops are all backed by powerful forces.

Just now, Zuo Gongquan, the real master behind the scene of Jubao Building, who rarely comes to the store, Zuo Gongquan, brought a middle-aged monk in blue to the second floor.

When the boss comes to inspect the store, the people below will naturally have to work harder to make a good impression.

At the same time, in the private room on the second floor of the attic, an old man wearing a leather robe sat on the main seat. His shoulders were wide and his back was wide, and his figure was tall. Even when he was sitting, he exuded an air of majesty. .

Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man in green shirt, with a sallow complexion and a sickly appearance, only a pair of bright eyes, giving people a feeling that should not be underestimated.

"Ye Daoyou turned out to be a monk of the Sky Shadow Demon Sect. Zuo is really disrespectful." Zuo Gongquan looked at a black token in his hand, on which three ancient characters were engraved, and immediately turned the token with a serious expression. Handed it back to the man in the green shirt, and at the same time arched his hands.

Although Biyanmen has some fame in the Tongyang Mountains, it is only a third-rate sect at best, and it cannot be compared with the ten thousand-year-old sect like Sky Shadow Demon Sect.

In the eyes of the old man, the green-clothed man opposite had a chaotic and hazy aura, and with his mid-stage true core consciousness, he couldn't tell how well the other party was really cultivating, so he naturally had a higher opinion of the other party in his heart.
