Chapter 167 Inquiry

"Peng~"

The Seven-Star Chain released Sun Zhong's body, which fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

A gust of wind blew by, and Li Jiuqing's long hair moved with the wind.

"Northeast Alley of the City."

"Wei San!"

After getting what he wanted, Li Jiuqing smiled with satisfaction, and then wrote down the name and followed the same process as before.

First, he used the Xumi Spiritual Eye to shake out Sun Zhong's soul, and then quickly refined it with a secret technique.

"The sky is dark and the earth is silent, life and death have souls, by the Three Paths River, the heaven and earth are reunited, and the souls are transformed into souls!"

"Weng~"

The souls are extracted and refined, and then the spoils are collected, and finally a fire is used to destroy the body and the traces. The whole process takes no more than a cup of tea.

If you want to ask something, you can only say one sentence.

Nothing else, just practice~

After dealing with the things here, Li Jiuqing returned to Yueyang City.

Yueyang City is neither big nor small, but it seems that because of the newly emerged Sihai Chamber of Commerce, almost every time Li Jiuqing comes back to the city, there will be some changes in the shops.

More and more shops are being swallowed up by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. Once conflicts of interest are involved, it will cause fights between monks.

Inside the city, Li Jiuqing just walked casually on the street, and he could sense a sense of killing spreading.

However, Li Jiuqing did not get involved in this. After passing through the crowd, he passed some alleys and came to the northeast alley of the city.

This is almost all the place where some civilians and low-level monks are.

Li Jiuqing stepped into the northeast alley of the city and looked around.

The buildings here are slightly simpler, and the streets are narrow, which is in sharp contrast to the prosperous scene in the center of Yueyang City.

The busy figures of low-level monks and civilians shuttled through it, and the breath of life was overwhelming.

According to what Sun Zhong said before his death, this Wei San was cunning and did not use his real name when hiding, so if you are not familiar with this place, it is almost difficult to find Wei San.

Li Jiuqing's pace was neither fast nor slow. He seemed to be careless, but in fact, he was observing the surrounding environment with every step, capturing any details that might leak information.

Suddenly, a loud noise caught his attention.

Li Jiuqing turned around an alley, and his vision suddenly widened. He saw many vendors setting up stalls in this alley. Although the things they sold were not as good as those in Yueyang City Street, the quality was not bad at all.

Spiritual herbs, spiritual tools, elixirs, talismans, everything is available.

Although the quality is not as good as those of the big shops in the city center, the effectiveness is actually not much different.

At this time, Li Jiuqing also followed and found some abnormalities in the stalls after a few glances.

The stalls in front were almost all selling spiritual herbs, but the difference in the number of people in the two stalls was huge just one step away.

At this time, Li Jiuqing also stopped and came to a stall with a lot of people.

He squeezed into the crowd and found a skinny man in cloth, who was selling some low-level spiritual herbs.

The man was smiling and selling some low-level spiritual herbs to the monks and civilians who were watching.

Although his stall was simple, it was neatly arranged, and the spiritual herbs were fresh and green, and looked good.

Li Jiuqing stepped forward, looked at the man calmly, and then asked: "How much are these spiritual herbs?"

The man saw that Li Jiuqing was unfamiliar, and his eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately introduced enthusiastically, "This Taoist friend is very discerning. These are the spiritual herbs that are abundant in the Lingzhao Mountains. Look at this one, it has a very strong hemostatic effect."

"And this one, and the price of mine is also very low..."

Li Jiuqing listened to his explanation while secretly observing his reaction.

After a few breaths, the man described all the spiritual herbs on the stall, but seeing that Li Jiuqing's face had almost no emotional fluctuations, he said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Hey, are you going to buy it or not?"

Li Jiuqing squatted down and took out two plants at random. The soil inside the rhizome was still a little bit damp, but the outside was completely dry and cracked. It seemed that it had been a while since the herbs were picked.

The others looked at it for a long time, and some people came forward to talk to them, but the price of these spiritual herbs was not cheap, even one spiritual stone more expensive than the one on Zhongjie Street.

"Boss, your price..."

Li Jiuqing was interrupted by the stall owner as soon as he said this.

"Hey, my price is already good, the one next door is more expensive."

Li Jiuqing smiled but said nothing, then looked at it twice and put down the low-level spiritual herbs in his hand, looked at the skinny man and asked.

"Who gave you these spiritual herbs?"

The stall owner was furious at the sudden turn of Li Jiuqing's words.

"Why do you care who gave it to me? Can't I just pick it myself?"

"Really!"

"Go away, go away. If you don't want to buy it, don't make trouble here."

Li Jiuqing didn't get angry after hearing that. He put down the herbs and then stood up and went to the stall next door.

Almost the same herbs, Li Jiuqing just stretched out his hand and heard the stall owner said unceremoniously: "That blood coagulation grass, fifteen spirit stones a plant."

"So expensive?"

"They only sell it for five spirit stones?"

Li Jiuqing pretended to be surprised.

"If you think it's too expensive, go somewhere else!"

The stall owner didn't care about his business. He didn't say much after that and ignored Li Jiuqing.

Li Jiuqing stood up after hearing that and didn't stay any longer.

Night.

The stalls in the alley began to close up as it got dark.

At this time, above the alley, Li Jiuqing stood there quietly, his figure hidden and his aura shielded, blending into the darkness.

About an incense stick of time later.

Almost everyone in the alley had evacuated, and then Li Jiuqing's figure followed.

In front of Li Jiuqing, the stall owners who sold herbs together during the day gathered together, and then surrounded the person who sold the cheapest herbs.

"Old Xu, I saw a lot of people in front of your stall today. How much did you sell?"

"Not much, not much, but more than 700 spiritual stones. After we pay it to the government, I guess we will get a lot of rewards."

This group of people were almost all the herbal vendors in the alley. The reason why Li Jiuqing suspected them was that their selling method was very similar to a marketing method that Li Jiuqing had seen in his previous life.

Secondly, the highest level of cultivation among these people is only the fourth level of Qi Refining. How could such a level of cultivation dare to enter the Lingzhao Mountains to collect herbs? So if nothing unexpected happens, there must be someone behind them to supply them.

And this person is very likely to be Wei San that Li Jiuqing is looking for.

Even if it is not Wei San, according to that person's ability to monopolize the entire herbal medicine business here, it is estimated that as long as Li Jiuqing controls that person, it will not be a problem to find Wei San.
