Two nights later, another casual cultivator was killed.

He was killed in the same way, unaware and without a sound. At that time, the closest cultivator was less than 500 meters away from him.

In this case, the casual cultivator would still die from having all the blood drained from his body.

Another day passed, and new news came that two of the cultivators who had fled the city out of fear were missing.

These two wandering cultivators have a commission and are working for the Zhang family. It is impossible for them to disappear without even asking for compensation.

The day after the two cultivators disappeared, some cultivators found their bodies, which had been drained of blood, in a cave outside the city.

Now all the independent cultivators were scared, and gathered around the four immortal cultivation families, mainly in order to seek safety.

At the same time, Gu Jia also increased the task rewards from 500 spirit stones to 1,000 spirit stones.

Li Shiming did not dare to practice these days, for fear that the spiritual power fluctuations of the Spirit Gathering Plate would attract the attention of the cultivator.

Although he does not live in the northeastern corner of Zhongdu, who knows whether the monk is only concerned about that area.

He compressed his sleeping time to the minimum, sleeping for two hours during the day and not sleeping at all at night. He always wore an eye mask and observed the surveillance camera images.

That night, Li Shiming, like he had done in the previous few days, first launched the drone.

In the dark night, the drone flew to a height of 300 meters. He also added an 'invisibility talisman' to the drone, making it invisible.

This was his discovery after studying the 'Invisibility Technique'. The 'Invisibility Technique' can not only be used on cultivators, but as long as it is activated with spiritual power, the target of the effect can be people or objects.

Regardless of the target, the duration of the 'Invisibility Technique' is the same.

"Huh!" He saw a human figure, but different from the human figure under normal infrared thermal imaging, this human figure was dark blue.

In his setting, red is the heat source, and blue will appear when the temperature is lower than the outdoor temperature. This deep blue will only appear when the temperature is extremely low.

You have to know that it is still summer and the temperature outside is still very hot at night.

At this time, a target with extremely low temperature will naturally be particularly eye-catching in infrared thermal imaging.

For a creature with a body temperature this low yet still able to move and take on a human form, there is only one possibility: it is a "corpse refiner".

Li Shiming did not feel happy at all. He did not want to come into contact with dangerous monks.

Fortunately, the dark blue figure was not targeting him, but was moving quickly in another direction.

The dark blue figure moved in a very strange way, almost in a straight line.

Li Shiming switched the drone's shooting mode. In the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see a black shadow flying and jumping between the houses.

No matter how tall the building is, the black shadow will jump up.

Given the speed at which the black shadow was running, if the drone hadn't been at high altitude, it would have been impossible to even see the shadow's movements clearly from the ground.

Li Shiming hesitated for a moment, and after deciding to put his own safety first, he left his yard.

He did not run at full speed, but kept a long distance from the shadow.

He was not worried at all about losing the black shadow in a short time. As long as the battery of the drone was not completely consumed, he could keep an eye on the black shadow through his eyes in the sky.

When the black shadow was about to reach the city wall, he saw through the blindfold that a dark blue shadow overlapped with a red shadow, and then the dark blue shadow disappeared, leaving only the red shadow moving in another direction.

The fast movement speed of the dark blue and red figures also provides a favorable condition for drone tracking.

If the two figures were slower, the drone would run out of battery.

The red figure finally located a private house. Li Shiming remembered the location of the house and chose the rooftop of a three-story wooden building a kilometer away.

He first retrieved the drone, replaced the battery, and then released it again.

Then he took out a monocular telescope and observed the situation of the house.

There was no one else in the house. Thermal imaging showed only a red figure, indicating that there was only one person there.

Li Shiming saw the windows illuminated by lights in the houses through a monocular telescope, and then a figure blew out the lights and disappeared.

According to the drone's infrared display, the figure was lying flat, probably sleeping.

Who would have thought that the cultivator who had made it impossible for the wandering cultivators in Zhongdu to find a place to stay would live among the people's houses in the city and disguise himself as a commoner.

Li Shiming looked at the three-story building where he was. This was Yuelai Restaurant, a very famous restaurant in the city.

He took out the 'Hundred Miles Message Talisman', explained the situation, wrote down his location, and asked Gu Jia to hide his aura and come over.

After releasing the 'Hundred Miles Message Talisman', he immediately put away the drone and monocular telescope.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, Li Shiming felt as if there was someone beside him. He turned around and found Gu Jia and another person standing beside him.

To be honest, Li Shiming was really scared. As a cultivator, he hadn't felt this way for a long time.

"Friend Li, are you sure you have discovered the corpse-refining monk?" Gu Jia asked in a serious voice.

There was a hint of worry in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Li Shiming was joking.

Of course, he also understood that Li Shiming would not joke about such things.

"Just now I saw a figure passing by my house, so I followed it. After that figure joined with another figure, we became one figure and returned to the house in front!" Li Shiming said, pointing at the house in the distance.

"You are quite brave. You dare to track him alone at the second level of Qi Refining!" said the man next to Gu Jia lightly.

Li Shiming could not sense the fluctuation of the other party's spiritual power, but he had a feeling that although the other party did not have any fluctuation of spiritual power, there was a faint and terrifying pressure coming from him, which made him dare not underestimate the other party in the slightest.

"My fellow Daoist, Brother Gu has helped me a lot. The corpse-refining monk has caused Brother Gu a lot of trouble. If I have the opportunity to help, I will certainly do my best to help!" Li Shiming said in a deep voice.

He didn't understand why the other party had the leisure to talk to him here instead of arranging a capture immediately.

"Little friend Li, don't call me by random names. Call me uncle-master!" Gu Jia said in a low voice.

Li Shiming was stunned by what Gu Jia said. He certainly knew what the title of uncle-master meant.

Isn’t Gu Jia’s uncle a foundation-building cultivator?

"Hello, senior. Please forgive my offense!" Li Shiming didn't dare to really call him uncle. He was not yet a disciple of Tianhai Sect. Maybe he could be in the future, but not now.

"That's right. Although I don't know what your spiritual roots are like, but at this age you can reach the peak of the second level of Qi Refining. There will be no problem for you to enter the sect!" said the Foundation Establishment cultivator with a smile.

He came here this time just to find the corpse-refining monk. On the first day he arrived, Li Shiming reported the whereabouts of the corpse-refining monk. Coupled with Gu Jia's recommendation, he had a good impression of Li Shiming.
