Mortal Seeking Immortal

If he exchanged information with Bai Qiu, Ye Zhou would have a greater chance of winning the top three positions in his sect.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zhou decided to exchange information with Bai Qiu.

However, Ye Zhou, who is cautious by nature, proposed that before exchanging information, he and Bai Qiu should hand over part of the information to each other for review. If both parties are satisfied with this part of the information provided by each other, they can then exchange the remaining information.

Seeing that Ye Zhou agreed to exchange information, Bai Qiu's eyes flashed with joy, and Bai Qiu agreed to Ye Zhou's request.

Bai Qiu was the first to take out a blank jade slip from the storage bag, closed his eyes and used his consciousness to record information in the jade slip, and Ye Zhou did the same.

After a while, both parties had recorded some information related to the secret realm into the jade slips. Bai Qiu respectfully sent the jade slips to Ye Zhou: "Senior Brother Ye, please check."

Ye Zhou was about to reach out and take the jade slip. Unexpectedly, Wu Yong, who had been sitting silently aside in a daze, secretly reached out and gently pulled Ye Zhou's sleeve.

Ye Zhou's outstretched hand paused in mid-air.

Seeing this, Bai Qiu frowned slightly, and a look of anxiety flashed in her eyes, but she still asked patiently and gently: "Senior Brother Ye, what's wrong? But I'm worried about Junior Sister, can I lie to you?"

"If senior brother is still not at ease, you can still check my information. Junior sister, I don't need to check your information, senior brother."

"In this case, Senior Brother Ye should be able to rest assured."

With that said, Bai Qiu sent the jade slip in his hand to Ye Zhou again, as if urging Ye Zhou to pick up the jade slip.

If it were an ordinary monk, no one would be able to refuse this kind of good thing, which is to get some information from others for free, but Ye Zhou directly retracted his hand.

There was a hint of disappointment in Bai Qiu's eyes. She opened her red lips slightly and was about to persuade Ye Zhou a few more words, but she heard Ye Zhou say before him: "Junior Sister Bai, don't be anxious. Please wait a moment and let me think about it again."

Bai Qiu couldn't say anything after hearing this. She hid the disappointment in her eyes, took back the jade slip and said, "Senior Brother Ye must think faster. There is not much time left before the secret realm is opened. If Senior Brother is unwilling to exchange information, I'll do it too." Find other senior brothers and sisters to exchange.”

Ye Zhou nodded and said: "This is natural, junior sister, please rest assured."

After Ye Zhou said that, he lowered his head and frowned, pretending to be thinking, but in fact he was secretly communicating with Wu Yong: "Wu Yong, what did you find?"

Wu Yong said: "Brother Ye, you also know that since I got that strange disease, I have been craving for food. I usually can't even smell the food, and I will go crazy if I smell it at all."

"Because of this, I found that my sense of smell has become much more sensitive than before. I can smell some subtle smells that you can't smell."

"I discovered that the two Miaodan disciples who came to see you all have the same smell."

"Even if they are brothers from the same sect and live and eat together all day long, they can't possibly have the same smell on their bodies. Do you think they are suspicious?"

Ye Zhou asked doubtfully: "The same smell? Are you sure?"

Wu Yong did not reply directly to Ye Zhou, but after a moment, he replied firmly: "Of course I am sure."

"I just sniffed carefully again and found that it's not that they have the same smell, but that something on them has the same smell."

"For example, the smell of this female cultivator named Bai Qiu is the jade slip she just handed you. Although she has a lot of rouge and gouache on her body, it can't escape my nose."

"Looking back now, the male disciple who came to sell the elixir just now didn't have that special smell on his body at first."

"I remember it was when he took out the elixir that I smelled the smell from him, and the more elixirs he took out, the stronger the smell I smelled."

"I thought at the time that their Miaodan Sect's alchemy techniques were different from ours, and they had to add something unique to the elixir."

After hearing what Wu Yong said, Ye Zhou's heart rang with alarm bells, and he thought secretly: "It seems that Zhang Shan and Bai Qiu have applied some kind of the same very light-smelling medicine on the jade slips and the elixir bottle. "

"Although I don't know why they did this, for the sake of safety, it is best not to touch the things they handed over."

Thinking of this, Ye Zhou said to Bai Qiu apologetically: "Junior sister Bai Qiu, I just thought about it and decided not to exchange information."

After hearing this, Bai Qiu frowned and advised: "Senior Brother Ye, why don't you think about it again? Exchanging information will be good for both you and me."

After hearing this, Ye Zhou just shook his head and did not say another word.

Seeing that Ye Zhou had made up his mind, Bai Qiu's eyes showed a look of disappointment. She put the jade slips back into her storage bag and said to Ye Zhou, "In this case, I won't disturb Senior Brother Ye."

"But if Senior Brother Ye changes his mind, you can come to me at any time to exchange information."

After saying that, Bai Qiu walked towards another Spirit Beast Sect disciple.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, Ye Zhou noticed that the disciple Bai Qiu chose was the same disciple who had rejected Zhang Shan before.

Ye Zhou had a bad feeling in his heart. He turned his head and looked at where the other sect disciples were resting except for the Miaodan Sect.

I saw among them the disciples of the Miaodan Sect who were selling things, either elixirs or cultivated spiritual plants. Some disciples were holding jade slips recording secret information in their hands to make deals with others.

After observing for a while, Ye Zhou noticed that, similar to the situation in the Spiritual Beast Sect, the disciples of these Miaodan Sect disciples who chose to trade within each sect were either inner sect disciples who were in the Foundation Establishment Dzogchen Realm, or None of the direct disciples paid attention to the ordinary inner disciples.

Furthermore, if a disciple refuses a Miaodan Sect disciple's request to trade, another Miaodan Sect disciple will come forward with other things to trade, until those disciples trade.

Ye Zhou couldn't help but guess, is it possible that Miaodan Sect has a big move in the secret realm this time? Want to win the first place in this secret realm trip?

After all, the ranking of the sect determines the number of disciples that can enter the secret realm next time. It seems that Miaodan Sect has been suppressed by other sects for too long.

Ye Zhou is not going to care about this matter, because even if he says it, others may not believe him, and it may even provoke revenge from Miaodan Sect. Ye Zhou doesn't want to do such a thankless task.

Moreover, Ye Zhou believes that even if Miaodan Sect wants to make a big move in the secret realm, at most they will injure or trap these disciples, and they will never dare to kill these disciples.

After all, they have chosen elite disciples from major sects, many of whom are disciples taught by the elders of major sects. Even if Miaodan Sect has a few courage, they dare not really attack these disciples.

Just as Ye Zhou was observing the movements of Miaodan Sect, the disciples in the Lingshou Sect who were in the Great Perfection Stage of the Foundation Establishment Period and following behind Zhao Han and Xu Yan either purchased elixirs from Miaodan Sect or exchanged information in the secret realm with the disciples of Miaodan Sect.
