Chapter 18: The Hidden Message

Starfall City in the dark night is still bustling, brightly lit, reflecting on the pedestrians coming and going, showing the prosperity of today.

Perhaps because of the impact of that natural disaster, the temperature in Starfall is generally higher than in other regions, so the people living in this area are mainly dressed coolly, and their skin tone is also dark.

As a result, cultivators who have lived in Starfall for a long time have obvious differences in clothing and skin color from those from outside, and they can be clearly distinguished at a glance.

Among these cultivators, there are still some foreign cultivators, only a few are local cultivators who have cultivated in their bodies, and as for the ordinary people living in Starfall City, after hearing about the incident caused by the Blood Sword Gate in Qingyan Tower and the Invisible Gate, each of them now closes their doors when night falls.

In the cultivation room of the Stardust Small Building, Yi Chen moved here after the man surnamed Xiao left in a hurry, holding the letter that had been read in his hand, his face was no longer calm, and his eyebrows were full of solemnity.

The man surnamed Xiao said that Deacon Xiao was a deacon in the Qingyanlou Medicine Hall, his full name was Xiao Qian, and he was a young figure who amazed the people of the entire Starfall City.

The reason is not his current status and cultivation, although at the age of only twenty-two, his talent for cultivating and stepping into the realm of Turbidity Pill is indeed amazing in today's Starfall Land.

But the most hotly discussed is another equally amazing talent of his, that is, with his amazing management and management skills, he sat in the position of deacon of Qingyan House at such a young age.

Not only that, but in the next two short years, he relied on extraordinary means to recruit several innate realm cultivators with outstanding strength in the Starfall Land, and even a powerhouse of the Turbidity Pill Realm also signed a treaty with him to become a guest secretary of the Qingyanlou Medicine Hall, which not only showed his amazing talent, but also invisibly strengthened the strength of the Qingyanlou.

Because of this, Xiao Qian became the youngest deacon in Qingyanlou, and also became the first young generation to show amazing talent after the cataclysm.

However, Yi Chen is different from others, he is not one of the several innate realms recruited by Xiao Yi, let alone the one who chooses to become a guest of the Qingyanlou Pharmacy, the reason why he has a connection with the Qingyanlou Pharmacy is entirely due to his other identity, that is, he has an alchemy attainment close to a first-order alchemist, so he will be connected to the Qingyanlou Pharmacy.

Of course, although the relationship between the two is a cooperative relationship, there is also a deeper relationship, as a condition for cooperation with Yi Chen, Qingyanlou Medicine Hall also needs to pay a lot of price, after all, a quasi-first-order alchemist who is only seventeen years old, for the current Starfall Land, everyone knows its importance.

As one of the conditions for cooperation, it is necessary for Qingyanlou to completely block the news of Yi Chen's true identity, and no one else is allowed to know except for a few people in the medicine hall.

The second is naturally that Yi Chen's personal freedom cannot be restricted by the Qingyan Lou Medicine Hall, unless it is some pills that need to be refined by him, Yi Chen, who is the owner of the Stardust Building, must not be disturbed.

As for the third, of course, it is one of the objects of the inclusion of Stardust Xiaolou in the protection of the Qingyan Lou Medicine Hall, and there are only two people who know that he is hiding his cultivation, only in this way can he avoid a lot of trouble in Starfall City and reduce the possibility of his exposure, which is also the reason for the Qingyan Lou logo on the plaque of Stardust Xiaolou.

It's just that the truth in this is not as simple as the world sees, as for the real relationship between Xiao Yi and Yi Chen, it is far beyond the imagination of the world, which is the real source of the third condition.

Putting down the letter in his hand carefully, Yi Chen lowered his head and secretly thought about something, a light suddenly flashed on his right hand, and an ordinary white paper without any special features, as well as a small brush the length of chopsticks appeared in his hand.

Then the light flashed again, and Yi Chen took out a small jar of black ink, and slowly shook it ten times before placing it on the table in front of him.

After completing this series of preparations, Yi Chen's hands waved rapidly, and after a few breaths, the letter on the table was already tightly attached to the white paper he took out, and the black ink was smeared on every part of the envelope, and finally it was placed on the oil lamp to bake in the air.

I saw that the ink that was still very wet was disappearing at a very fast speed, and the original handwriting also disappeared with the disappearance of the ink, which was very magical.

Yi Chen's movements did not stop, and after baking the other side in the same way for a short time, an incredible scene appeared again.

One word after another began to jump on the white paper, and in front of Yi Chen's eyes, it was like an invisible person struggling to write on the white paper, only two could not breathe, and a letter with completely different content from the previous one was presented in front of Yi Chen.

I believe that even the man surnamed Xiao who sent the letter didn't know that in the letter he sent, after some seemingly complicated processing, there was actually another mystery hidden.

However, this is also the reason why Xiao Yi chose the man surnamed Xiao to deliver the letter, firstly, because this person's status in Qingyan Tower is not very high, and he will not attract the attention of other forces.

The second is that this person seems to be loyal but very shrewd, especially for the things that seek good fortune and avoid evil, and he knows very well what kind of things he should know with his own status, and what kind of things he should avoid, which can be seen from his behavior of leaving in a hurry after Yi Chen opened the letter.

There weren't many things mentioned in the letter, most of them were some recent events in Qingyan Tower, and some were lists of strange forces that had recently appeared in Starfall City.

"Hmm, it's..."

However, among these things, there are two things that need Yi Chen's special attention, especially the first thing, which has to be paid a little attention to by Yi Chen.

This matter is that Fei Wu, the young owner of Qingyan Tower, did not know why, and a few days ago, he had vigorously mobilized the Qingyan Tower, and all the foreign forces within a hundred miles of Starfall City were secretly investigated.

Especially for the invisible door that has been fighting with Qingyanlou, he spared no effort to secretly investigate several times, but in the end, it was over, and no one knew what Fei Wu did.

However, Xiao Gan, who was the deacon of the medicine hall, naturally had his own way to know Fei Wu's true purpose, although he only mentioned the word Zhu Jin, Yi Chen had already guessed Xiao Qian's reminder.

"It seems that what Zhu Jin said before he died is true, and it is not difficult to explain why he has Diyan liquid in his hand", Yi Chen thought to himself.

Now that he thought about it carefully, he finally knew that Zhu Jin's threatening words before his death were not groundless, but Zhu Jin was actually related to Fei Wu, the young owner of Qingyan Building, which was indeed unexpected by Yi Chen.

"This young landlord of Qingyan Mansion is really a wine bag and rice bag, and he actually did such a thing at such a time, but for me, this is a good thing, if it can be used properly, maybe it will help the next action", thinking in his heart, Yi Chen turned his attention to the second piece of information.

It was a very simple message, and it didn't contain much content, only a short sentence about the Blood Knife Gate.

I am afraid that this is because of Xiao Qian's identity as a deacon, and he has not yet been able to access more core information, and if Yi Chen wants to get more information, he can only go to Qingyan Tower.

However, combining these two pieces of information, Yi Chen found that there was a lot of room for him to intervene, and this was probably what Xiao Qian really meant by asking the man surnamed Xiao to hand over this letter to him.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yi Chen's mouth curled.
