Mortal Seeking Immortal

After doing all this, Ye Zhou closed his eyes and meditated in the room to restore his spiritual power, waiting to go out of the city for patrol.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye.

During these three months, in addition to going out of the city for patrol with Lin Yunshan and his party, Ye Zhou practiced the "Heavenly Soul Art".

The Tianxuan Cold Soul Liquid that Ye Zhou bought in Liuyun Pavilion had long been consumed, and the Tianxuan Cold Soul Liquid secreted by the male Ice Soul Frost Crystal Silkworm he raised was far from enough for his practice.

After looking through many jade slips for raising spiritual insects, Ye Zhou found a way to increase the secretion of Tianxuan Cold Soul Liquid, which is to refine Xuanbing Dan and feed it to Bingpo Frost Crystal Silkworm.

The materials needed to refine Xuanbing Dan are relatively common, and most of them can be purchased in the market in Xianliu City. Only one of them, the shell of the star ladybug, is sold in the market because the required amount is small and the price is low. Ye Zhou can only go to the Guijue Desert to catch and kill the star ladybug in person.

Fortunately, the ladybugs are gregarious spirit insects. Ye Zhou can get enough ladybug shells to refine three furnaces of Xuanbing Pills by going out of the city once.

The male Ice Soul Frost Crystal Silkworms that took Xuanbing Pills really secreted more than two times the amount of Tianxuan Cold Soul Liquid, which was barely enough for Ye Zhou's daily practice of "Heavenly Soul Art".

Early in the morning of this day, Ye Zhou finished his practice early, tidied his clothes, left the courtyard, and came to the West Market in the city with expectation in his eyes.

Three months ago, Ye Zhou handed the pair of Nine Nether Silver Horn Beetles' claws to a refinery shop in West Market to refine them into magic weapons for him. Today is the day that Ye Zhou and Master Zhao of the refinery shop agreed to take the magic weapons.

Not long after, Ye Zhou arrived at West Market. Before he arrived at the door of the refinery shop, Ye Zhou saw from a distance that the door of the refinery shop was in a mess, as if it had been smashed by someone. Half of the broken door fell to the ground, and some fragments of low-level magic weapons were scattered on the steps beside it.

The monks passing by seemed not to have seen this scene, and walked past the store without looking sideways.

Ye Zhou frowned slightly and walked quickly to the store. He saw that the store was in a mess, the counter was overturned, and the drawers on the whole wall behind the counter were all opened. The refining materials inside were missing. The layers of formations laid in the store were also forcibly broken, and there were several pools of dried blood on the ground.

Ye Zhou's eyes swept to the place where the bamboo curtain was hung that day. He saw that the bamboo curtain was broken into several pieces and thrown on the ground at random, revealing a passage that could accommodate one person.

Ye Zhou did not enter the store, but released his spiritual sense to scan along the passage. He found that there was no breath of any living creature inside, and Ye Zhou's brows could not help but frowned.

What on earth is going on? Where did the shopkeeper go?

Ye Zhou glanced at the shops on both sides and walked towards a refining shop on the left, ready to find someone to ask about the situation.

Seeing Ye Zhou coming in, the shopkeeper who was waiting behind the counter came out with a smile and said to Ye Zhou respectfully: "Senior, I wonder what kind of refining materials you want to see in our shop?"

Ye Zhou said lightly: "I don't want to buy refining materials. I want to ask you what happened in the shop next door? Where did the shopkeeper and the clerk go?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face changed, and he said to Ye Zhou in panic: "Senior, I don't know what happened in the shop next door. If you don't want to buy refining materials, please leave the shop as soon as possible."

At the end of the shopkeeper's words, his face was full of pleading, and his eyes kept looking outside the shop, as if he was afraid of being discovered by someone.
