According to the information I have learned, as early as a year and a half ago, there were Qi refining cultivators who disappeared near Xiaohu City for no reason, but the number and frequency of disappearances were not high, and it was only recently that there was a sudden surge, so no one paid attention to it at that time. The beard analyzed. And also a year and a half ago, Zhenling Sect investigated the murderer to no avail, temporarily gave up the large-scale search, and instead issued a high-priced reward to collect clues about the murderer, and the time of the two was compared, and the conclusion was much narrower. The spoke with extra confidence.

What does Daoyou mean, the person who killed the elder of the Zhenling Sect and the person who intercepted and killed the Qi refining cultivator are the same person? Yuan Ming's face was full of shock, as if he had discovered some incredible secret. According to my speculation, the murderer also wanted to do something to the Zhuji monk at first, but he picked the wrong target and accidentally killed the elder of the Zhenling Sect, which was only lurking for a while, and then he turned to attack the Qi refining monk, and he was also very cautious at first, but later saw that no one could find him, and became more and more arrogant, which attracted attention again. The beard said firmly.

Daoyou's analysis is clear and convincing, but there is no empirical evidence, if the inference is wrong, wouldn't it be a big fuss? Yuan Ming heard this and said. Hehe, if I am wrong, the strength of the murderer is not high, wouldn't it be a good thing? I also inquired in advance, and the reward set for the murderer within the Scattered Sect is 3,000 spirit stones, as long as he can be caught, it will be divided equally between the three of us, and one person will also have a thousand, which is really a lot. The beard is very free.

Yuan Ming smiled: Daoyou is right, but I'm sorry, I'm not good at fighting with people, this task, Daoyou should ask another master. The beard showed disappointment, and persuaded a few more words, seeing that Yuan Ming had made up his mind, he stopped stalking, arched his hand and turned around with his companion to leave. Yuan Ming watched the two of them leave, pondered for a moment, took out the task list and flipped through it, and sure enough, he found the reward task posted by Zhenling Sect. Find out Gu Qiuming's whereabouts, and reward those who provide reliable information with 1,000 spirit stones, and those who capture them alive with 3,000 spirit stones. Yuan Ming shook his head, he didn't expect that Gu Qiuming was suspected by the Zhenling Sect, and his value was not low now. He secretly sighed with emotion, and then looked for the task of the Shengye Sect that his grandmother said. Zhenling Sect offered such a high reward, but he couldn't find Gu Qiuming for two years, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

Soon, among the many tasks, he found the one his grandmother said. Escort mission, escort the Qi refining disciples of the Shengye Sect to the mountains and forests of Zhao Kingdom to collect the elixir, and set off after five days, the person who receives it needs to live in Xiaohu City for more than a year, and have a foundation building period or above cultivation, and the reward is two bottles of four spirit pills or equivalent spirit stones. Yuan Ming thought for a moment, and then called his man again: I want to take over the task of escorting the disciples of the Shengye Sect. Okay, please also ask the seniors to leave their names and cultivations, and I will help you record them. The guy took out a piece of jade slip.

Hagon, the early days of foundation building. Yuan Ming reported a pseudonym. Okay, I've already helped you record it, you can collect this token, please go to the second floor of this association in two days later, and the Shengye Sect will assess the seniors there. The guy handed out a black token. Still need to be assessed? Yuan Ming was slightly stunned. Yes, because it is the usual task of the Shengye Sect, many monks will sign up in previous years, and because the escorts are their elite disciples, for safety, the Shengye Sect has no low requirements for the character and strength of the recipients, so they have specially set up an assessment and selected them. The guy explained.

So how many people have signed up now? Who are they? Yuan Ming asked curiously. If you count the seniors, there are thirteen people in total, but according to the regulations, I can't reveal their names to the seniors, so please forgive me. The guy said. Yuan Ming didn't care, and after nodding, he put away the token and turned to leave. Two days later. Yuan Ming came to the Scattered Sect at the end of the day, and after showing the token, a man immediately took him to the second floor. The rooms on the second floor of the Ashram are carefully designed so that they are not adjacent to each other, and they are all arranged with soundproof circles to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on and peeping.

The room set by the Shengye Sect was located deep on the second floor, and when Yuan Ming walked into the room, he saw that there were already eight monks waiting in the room. They are both men and women, and they vary in age. Yuan Ming didn't know each other, and he didn't mean to be polite, so he went straight to a chair and sat down, closed his eyes and recuperated. Later, three more monks entered the house after Yuan Ming, and some of them knew the monks who had come before, so they sat down together and talked in whispers.

Soon after, the hour came, and the door was pushed open again, and a burst of medicinal incense followed. Yuan Ming opened his eyes and saw two late-stage foundation building monks walking in one after the other

in the house. The monk at the head was dressed in a dark green robe, of medium stature, with a pair of round eyes like a tiger under his thick eyebrows, which was very majestic. The monk who followed him was actually Bai Ye, an old acquaintance of Yuan Ming in southern Xinjiang, and he was also a little surprised when he saw Yuan Ming, but soon, his eyebrows showed joy again, and they looked at each other and smiled.

Old man Lu Shen, the external affairs elder of the Shengye Sect, according to the past practice, the tasks issued by this sect only need to live in Xiaohu City for one year, but what happened in the city recently, you should have heard of it, therefore, for the sake of the safety of the disciples of this sect, this mission can only be participated in by monks who have lived in the city for more than two years. The monk in a dark green robe scanned the room and spoke. As soon as these words came out, some monks immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. So why don't you make it clear when you post the task? What a waste of time! A short and fat Taoist priest got up and walked away. Lu Shen was unmoved: let some Taoist friends run away in vain, and Lu was also very guilty, so I specially prepared some spiritual tea and took one with me when I left. The short and fat Taoist priest happened to walk to the door at this time, and his body suddenly stiffened when he heard this, but he didn't seem to be able to pull his head and turn around and ask for spiritual tea, and after hesitating for a moment, he snorted coldly and pushed the door open and left.

Although the other monks were also dissatisfied, they heard that there was still spiritual tea to compensate, but they were no longer angry, and took the spiritual tea and left. After a short time, except for Lu Shen and Bai Ye, there were only four monks left in the room, and Yuan Ming was among them. There are four Taoist friends who meet the conditions, this mission, this sect only needs the participation of two Taoist friends, therefore, next I also ask the four Taoist friends to show their magical powers, I will select the two strongest to participate in the task, however, I can't use it in this room, and I ask you to follow me to the martial arts arena to try your skills. Lu Shen made a gesture of please.

At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly said: This Hagong Daoist doesn't need to go, I have seen his strength with my own eyes, and he is not under me. Elder Bai, the safety of the disciples of this sect is at stake, how can he ignore the rules because of human feelings? This Hagong Daoist is only in the early stage of foundation building, how can his strength be above you? Lu Shen frowned, a little displeased. Brother Lu, what Bai said is true, if it weren't for the rescue of Hagong Daoyou, Bai would have fallen in southern Xinjiang long ago. This Taoist friend is not only outstanding, but also has a good character. Don't forget that in this mission, reliability is the most important thing. Bai Ye said, seeing that Lu Shen still didn't believe it, he quietly transmitted the voice and said something to him.

Hearing Bai Ye's transmission, a trace of surprise flashed on Lu Shen's face, and after a moment of silence, he nodded: What Elder Bai said makes sense, you are so compatible, just this fellow Daoist. Hearing this, the expressions of the other three monks also changed, some were disdainful, some were surprised, and one had an inquiring look in their eyes. However, since there was still one place left, they didn't mean to compete with Yuan Ming, and seeing that Lu Shen didn't say more, he turned around and left the room, so they all followed.

After everyone else left, Yuan Ming arched his hand towards Bai Ye: Bai Ye Daoist, don't come unharmed. When we said goodbye to southern Xinjiang, I never imagined that we would meet here. You also live in Little Lake City now? Bai Ye smiled. Yes, after the Biluo Cave incident, I traveled all the way here, and I felt that this place was comfortable and suitable for me to practice. Could Bai Daoyou be a person from the Leaf Sect, why do you call you an elder? Yuan Ming was puzzled. Hehe, my sect and the Shengye Sect have always been good friends, and the annual disciple training, the two sects are often co-organized, and now I am barely serving as an elder in the sect to deal with these small things. Bai Ye said modestly.

I see, this is the first time I have done such a task, I wonder if there is anything I need to pay special attention to? Yuan Ming nodded and asked again. You don't have to worry too much, don't look at what Elder Lu said so seriously, but in fact, the place selected by the disciples every year is not a dangerous place, and we are secretly accompanying each other during the foundation building period, just for insurance, and we rarely encounter situations that need to be taken action. Bai Ye waved his hand and said disapprerovitically.

Yuan Ming nodded clearly, and then the two chatted for a while, exchanging some of each other's situation over the years and what they had seen in various places. Time was very fast, and soon after, Lu Shen also returned to the house with the selected monks. This Taoist friend's name is He Wendao, and he is especially good at soil law, and he uses a supernatural earth escape technique, which is very suitable for protecting his disciples. Lu Shen introduced.

He Wendao is not very old, and his face is white and beardless, he looks a little delicate, and his cultivation also looks like he is in the middle stage of foundation building. When he heard Lu Shen introduce himself, he hurriedly arched his hand towards Yuan Ming and Bai Ye, and he knew each other. Seeing this situation, Lu Shen looked at Yuan Ming: I don't know Hagong Daoyou

What spells are you good at? I have a little bit of experience in beast control. Yuan Ming said half-truthfully.
