Weiyuan Immortal City.

Shipyard.

Known as 'Little Master Zhong', he was a teenager.

He climbed onto the deck, took out several instruments, and observed the formation.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Junior Master Zhong stood up, stepped off the deck, and said to the middle-aged cultivator who was expecting on the side.

"Hmm...... There is no problem, there is not much damage to the formation, and the damage to the hull is not difficult to repair. ”

"Count you a hundred spirit stones, how about it?"

The price is quite fair.

When the middle-aged cultivator heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly signed the spiritual deed and paid the deposit.

"Thank you, Master Zhong."

"In a month, with the spirit deed, let's get the boat."

Sending away the middle-aged cultivators, Master Zhong nodded.

His name is Zhong Qi.

Although young.

But it comes from a well-known shipbuilding family in Weiyuan Immortal City.

His grandfather, known as a master shipbuilder, single-handedly led the construction of second-order spirit ships!

Today, in the sea area, Donglong Luo's flagship 'Black Ship' Youjiao was built by Zhong Qi's grandfather, Master Zhong.

What's even more rare is that Master Zhong is extremely tight-mouthed and never discloses customer information!

After the Shadow Jiao shines and sinks the Soul Gold.

There are many people who have contacted the descendants of the Zhong family and want to imitate a blood path spirit ship similar to the Youjiao.

However.

Master Zhong not only did not reveal half a word of news before his death.

Among the relics and notes after death, there is not the slightest description of the blood path formation.

When the news came out, the buyers couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

However, I can't help but sigh that Master Zhong keeps his promise and keeps secrets, so righteous!

This fame has brought a good word-of-mouth effect to the Zhong family.

As a result, after Master Zhong sat down, he still maintained his home and did not decline.

Recently.

Zhong Qi is even more up-and-coming, showing his outstanding talent in shipbuilding and formation!

"Let's get started...... Zhong Qi called the shipwright and prepared to start repairing.

And at this time.

In front of Zhong Qi's eyes, a flower suddenly appeared.

Out of the corner of his eye, as if he had caught a glimpse, a swift white shadow flew out of the gate of the shipyard.

"Huh?"

Zhong Qi rubbed his eyes, and there was nothing in front of him.

"It's a delusion, isn't it?"

He didn't think much about it, and led the shipwrights to start repairing the spirit ship.

……

Following.

Inside the Bell House.

Zhong Qi looked calm and enjoyed breakfast.

The maidservant approached and handed over a newspaper that smelled of ink.

"Young master, this is today's Weiyuan Morning News."

"Well, let it go." Zhong Qi nodded.

As a trade center, the monks of Weiyuan Immortal City attach great importance to information.

Therefore, a form similar to the 'daily newspaper' has already been born.

Many families, or wealthy casual cultivators, subscribe to newspapers all year round to make sure they don't miss out on key information.

Zhong Qi had breakfast and opened the newspaper.

"The foundation was built successfully...... Luckily. ”

There was a look of envy in his eyes.

Even if it is a loose cultivation, once the foundation is successfully built, it will be equivalent to a class leap and become a big man that the Zhong family cannot afford to offend.

"Tsukiki...... I don't know, in my life, is it possible to build a foundation? ”

Zhong Qi pressed his mind and continued to read the newspaper.

Suddenly, a bloody photo made Zhong Qi's pupils shrink suddenly!

"The murder case in the outer city, Sanxiu was brutally killed, the murderer was extremely cruel, the victim's skull was broken, and it was suspected that the body cultivation and spirit beasts were ......"

"Wait...... This? ”

Zhong Qi stared at the photo, his heart fluttering, and he couldn't believe it.

"This man...... Wasn't it yesterday that I entrusted my shipyard to repair the ship? ”

Although the corpse's death was tragic and unrecognizable, the robe still made Zhong Qi quite familiar.

With the monk's memory, he was almost sure.

The victim is the one who was loose yesterday!

"This ......"

"Perhaps...... Is it to pick up a wrecked ship for nothing, which arouses envy? ”

"But this method is too cruel......"

Looking at the miserable corpse, Zhong Qi's face was pale, he felt sick to his stomach, and he almost wanted to gause.

After drinking a glass of water, it took a while to calm down.

"Forget it...... There's no way to die. ”

"That spirit ship, after a few months of repair, if no one has come to pay the final payment, let's resell it."

"Yes, and you can still make a fortune?"

Zhong Qi thought about it, and a faint joy appeared between his eyebrows.

After all, a medium-grade spirit ship, resold is the income of a thousand or several hundred spirit stones!

A few more of these windfalls.

Perhaps, more than ten years later, he will be able to buy a copy of Tsukidan?

With this in mind, Zhong Qi went to the shipyard to prepare for the repair work.

……

However.

Arriving at the shipyard, bad news came.

"The boatman is missing?"

"Old Uncle Li is gone?" Zhong Qi frowned deeply.

Old Uncle Li, but he is an old boatman used to his family.

Since he can remember, this old Uncle Li has been working in the factory.

It's unlikely that such a person will disappear without saying a word, right?

"Have you been to his house?" Zhong Qi asked.

"I asked, Uncle Li's mother-in-law, said that he didn't go home last night."

Several of the boatmen were in a state of panic.

"Huh?" Zhong Qi's brows furrowed even deeper.

I thought about it for a while.

He took out ten spirit stones and handed them to a boatman.

"You go on a trip, go to the Weiyuan Morning News, post a missing person notice, and for the rest, buy some spiritual rice for the mother-in-law and children of the old Li family."

"The rest of you, let's get to work."

And at this time, somehow.

Zhong Qi suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, there seemed to be a white figure, standing in the shadow corner of the shipyard.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the white shadow disappeared.

"What ......?"

Zhong Qi didn't notice that behind him, a pale figure was watching him.

Grunt.

Rolling his cold scarlet eyes.

……

A few days later.

Bell House.

Paper money is flying, mourning is sad.

Servants and maids dressed in white filial piety clothes walked through the mansion.

The whole house was filled with a sad depression.

"Did you hear that?"

"Master Zhong is dead, and the formation genius of the Zhong family has also become a madman......"

"Isn't that Zhong Qi? What are you talking about, the monster we can't see, kill his father? ”

"This kid also collided with the foundation building overhaul under the real person's door, that is, the Yuqing fairy was kind-hearted and forgave him!"

Near Zhongfu.

Inside a teahouse across the street.

Bai Xiuying looked at Zhong Fu, her eyes were slightly dull, and she shook the teacup.

"I always feel that this matter is not so simple......"

"That Zhong Qi doesn't look like a madman."

"White fairy, don't you worry too much...... The Nine Instruments Soul Talisman was used, but there was no response. ”

"In my opinion, the monster is true, but it has long since left."

"That bell boy, purely frightened, hysterical, said that the monster is behind us......"

Xiancheng Keqing, who was partnering with her, frowned.

Immediately, he said again.

"Now people in the outer city are panicking, and more than a dozen people die every day......"

"Let's solve the case as soon as possible, and slaughter this evil cultivator who controls evil things and kills innocents indiscriminately in the outer city!"

"In this way, we can calm people's hearts and make this big auction hold smoothly."

"Hmm...... That's right, too. Bai Xiuying nodded.

glanced at Zhong Fu.

……

Bell House.

Zhong Qi had a cloaked hair and red eyes.

"Why...... Why can't you see it......"

"Who can help me? Who else is the foundation ......?"

He whispered in the room.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he found a whalebone brooch from the drawer!

"Please......"
