Pagoda Immortality

The speaker was an old man with a goatee sitting by the window.

Hearing this, the young man in white across from him withdrew his gaze, took a sip of wine, and said calmly:

"Why, you even want to take care of such trivial matters? And this is Nanming City. No matter how bold those people are, they wouldn't dare to touch the might of the Heavenly Sword Sect and kill people in the city, right?"

The two of them were Wu De and Lu Li who had rushed back to Nanming City from Zhengqi Mansion.

It has been more than a month since they arrived in Nanming City, but unfortunately, after more than a month, they have not found even a single clue about Jianpi.

Today I walked to Qingliu Street and came to Qingliu Inn to taste the signature wine, Liuhuaxiang.

Unexpectedly, I unexpectedly heard such a thing.

"People die for money and birds die for food. Although this is Nanming City, mortal lives are cheap after all. If these people really take action, they can easily destroy the bodies of the mother and son. Even if the city lord's palace wants to take care of it, I'm afraid I can only look forward to it and sigh." Wu De said with twinkling eyes.

Lu Li was speechless.

He was so upset now that he really didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters.

Maybe Zhong Mo was right when he said that some people just want to die on their own. Even if they escape once, they may not be able to escape the second time.

Seeing that Lu Li didn't speak, Wu De knocked on the table again and sighed, "Hey! I feel unhappy."

Lu Li rolled his eyes at Wu De, "If you don't like it, just take care of it. I'm not holding you back."

Wu De curled his lips: "You humans' affairs are none of my business. I just want to remind you that sometimes you might get unexpected rewards if you do some human affairs."

"Unexpected gain? What do you mean?"

"Ha! Think about it, you have seen this kind of propaganda several times in the past month."

"You're talking about the City Lord's Palace seeking to purchase the Flowing Cloud Stone?" Lu Li asked, stunned for a moment.

"yes."

"Almost a dozen times, what's wrong? Is there any problem?" Lu Li asked confused.

"The problem is getting bigger! I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Let me tell you the truth. I think there is a big problem with the city lord's palace's purchase of Liuyun Stone..." Wu De formed a soundproof barrier. , said sternly.

Lu Li frowned slightly and stared at Wu De, waiting for him to continue.

Wu De continued: "Let me ask you, what is the main use of Liuyun Stone?"

"Carving the base of the formation..." Lu Li blurted out without even thinking.

According to the Cultivation Treasure Record, Liuyun Stone is a more suitable mineral for carving formation bases than Water Cloud Stone. The formation bases of many sect formations are refined from this stone.

But mid-sentence, Lu Li suddenly stopped. He had previously focused all his attention on Jianpi's whereabouts, but he had neglected one important point.

That is, Jianpi itself is a spirit-swallowing beast. Since the man chose to take Jianpi away instead of killing him on the spot, I am afraid... he is planning to use Jianpi as a cash cow and keep providing him with blood essence.

Because Lu Li also went for this purpose in the beginning.

And things like the Spirit Gathering Array are very within the reach of people, so... the middle-aged man who fought with him at the beginning either had an unusual identity, or was a casual cultivator who had a great adventure.

Combined with the distraction-level talisman that the person sacrificed back then, Lu Li could easily conclude that this person... definitely had an unusual identity.

Push forward again.

According to Lu Li's understanding, all the second-rate forces in the Southern Ming Realm today do not have a Zen Master. In other words, this person...cannot come from a second-rate force.

In this way, the scope will be much smaller immediately.

If that person really comes from a sect force in the Southern Ming Realm, there is no doubt that only four forces have the ability to make distraction-level talismans.

They are Mingxin Sword Palace, Wuya Sword Sect, Tianjian Pavilion and Jinghong Tower.

Finally, looking at Nanming City's purchase of a large number of Flowing Cloud Stones in the past month, Lu Li suddenly had an idea: Maybe, that person was from Tianjian Pavilion.

Of course, all this is just speculation. Whether that person is really a member of the sect's influence, or whether he comes from the Nanming realm, remains to be verified.

However, after finally catching some suspicious clues, Lu Li would definitely not let them go easily.

"Do you understand?"

Seeing that Lu Li suddenly stopped talking, Wu De raised his glass and said with a smile.

Lu Li also raised his wine glass, touched it lightly, and said with a slight smile, "Thanks for reminding me, I'm very interested in that piece of flowing cloud stone."

"It seems you are not stupid, but the mother and son are innocent people after all..." After Wu De said this, he stopped talking.

"I know."

"..."

The plainly dressed woman just now was named Yang Yu. She was originally the only daughter of Yang Tong, the owner of a common clothing store on Qingliu Street. Ten years ago, she was spotted by a guard disciple of the City Lord's Mansion and they got married.

At this point, she left the tailor shop and lived with her husband in a private courtyard in an alley on Qingliu Street.

Although it is a single-family house, the alley is very deep and cannot be used as a storefront. Naturally, it cannot be used for business like a shop fronting the street.

Therefore, Yang Yu would go to his father's shop to do odd jobs on weekdays in order to buy some snacks for his precious son to play with.

In fact, she is not very short of money. Although Yang Yu's husband is not highly cultivated, he is a guard of the city lord's palace and a practitioner. If he saves some money, a dozen spiritual stones are enough for her and her son. one Year.

However, Yang Yu sympathized with her husband that it was not easy to make money, and she had no time to spare, so she still insisted on going to her father's shop to do odd jobs every day.

Today, Yang Yu's father went out to buy fabrics. She tidied up the shop, stopped working early, and took her son to wander on the street.

"Mom, I don't want to go back so early. How about we go shopping somewhere else." While walking, the child suddenly stopped.

"What's there to see? In places like Qingliu Street, my mother knows what the place looks like even with her eyes closed." Yang Yu said boredly.

"Then let's go somewhere else? I heard from others that there are so many places outside Qingliu Street..."

"Who told you! Ah Cheng, mother told you, you must not go to those places. After leaving Qingliu Street, there are practitioners everywhere. If you accidentally bump into them, you will be killed. You will lose your life." Yang Yu solemnly warned.

"Oh fine..."

When the child heard this, he was immediately disappointed. Then his eyes lit up and he said expectantly: "Mom, do you think... can I become a practitioner like my father?"

"This... mother doesn't know either. Your father said that in the spring of next year, I will give you the elixir to try. Just wait..."

"Okay! Xiao Cheng wants to be a practitioner..."

"..."

The two of them talked while walking, and soon passed through the noisy crowd and arrived at the entrance of an alley in the northern section of Qingliu Street. Yang Yu bought some snacks for his son and then pulled him into the alley.

What the mother and son didn't know was that there were a few pairs of eyes with ulterior motives at this moment, taking in all the scenes...
