Inside a secluded cave, Jiang Yuan led a group of people to set up camp, while Yu Tu controlled the Void Blood Spirit to gather information in Echo Valley.
"So, have you found anything?"
Jiang Yuan walked over from the side. There were many strange beasts in Echo Valley. He originally wanted to go over, but he had already activated Blood Elf. If he got close, it would only cause the strange beasts to riot. So he could only choose to linger on the outskirts of Echo Valley.
"Here's the footage that Void Blood Spirit filmed. Take a look for yourself!" Yu Tu grabbed the Void Blood Spirit, who had just returned, and projected the footage from the camera.
This product of the technological age has no energy fluctuations, giving it a unique advantage in surreptitious photography. Combined with the Void Blood Spirit's most proficient talent for stealth, the two make them natural paparazzi.
"Azure Frost Squad! Rocky Squad! ...And Desert Eagle!" Jiang Yuan watched as he read out the names of the people on the screen. When his gaze fell on the last team, he suddenly became interested.
"Wait, look at the person from before again!"
Jiang Yuan called for a halt, and Yu Tu, seeing this, switched back to the previous scene, where a group of people dressed in black robes appeared on the screen.
"It seems this group hasn't bought any information about Echo Valley from us!" Jiang Yuan asked Yu Tu in a deep voice.
Yu Tu said thoughtfully, "Perhaps other teams shared information about Echo Valley!"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out!" Jiang Yuan said, waving to Luo Nan and saying, "Luo Nan, come here for a moment!"
"Brother Yuan, what's up?" After becoming familiar with Jiang Yuan, Luo Nan stopped using the polite title "Brother Jiang" and started calling him "brother" directly.
"Are these people mercenaries from Haicheng?" Jiang Yuan asked, pointing to the group in the picture.
"hiss!"
Luo Nan looked them over carefully several times, and finally said uncertainly, "I've never seen these people in Haicheng before!"
"Perhaps they only recently joined the mercenary group. After all, with so many mercenary teams joining every day, it's inevitable that they wouldn't recognize each other!" Luo Nan added.
"Alright, thanks!" Jiang Yuan said thank you and then gestured for Luo Nan to leave.
"Brother Yuan, why are you being so polite? If it weren't for you taking care of the Fujiang team along the way, our team wouldn't have achieved what we have today!" Luo Nan said apologetically.
"Jiang Yuan, are you questioning the identities of these people?"
Yu Tu's expression turned serious; she clearly had a guess in her mind.
"Let's go take a look!"
The two of them, with perfect understanding, headed towards the location of that team.
"The location that Void Blood Spirit detected earlier was right here!" After saying this, Yu Tu glanced around and, after confirming that there was no one in sight, added, "They should have moved to a different location by now!"
"Are you sure this is the place?" Jiang Yuan asked again.
"Yes, this is it!"
"very good!"
Jiang Yuan's aura changed drastically, becoming like an unfathomable black hole, "Super Talent - Devour!"
In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere rushed into his body, from the earthy smell of the land to the delicate fragrance of plants, all of which entered his senses at this moment.
"It really is the aura of the Holy Spirit!"
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes. His talent for devouring, which carried the protection of the Holy Spirit, made him exceptionally sensitive to the aura of the Holy Spirit. He had just checked the surrounding aura, and it was clear that the Holy Spirit had stayed here not long ago.
"Is it the same group as before?" Yu Tu thought of the group of Holy Spirits who ambushed the two outside the Epang Palace. They were highly likely to make a move because Jiang Yuan had killed the prince.
"uncertain!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and looked towards Echo Valley, saying, "The arrival of the Haicheng mercenaries was clearly a ploy. Only the Holy Spirit Clan could produce so many Holy Spirit Stones and send the mercenaries to the Tomb of the Warlord to carry out their mission!"
"And this group of Holy Spirits that suddenly appeared is very likely the subordinates of the Holy Spirit behind the scenes! As for whether they are Qiao Ling's group, that cannot be determined!"
Yu Tu seemed to be deep in thought, then asked, "Should we continue chasing after them?"
"No, someone will take care of them!" Jiang Yuan sneered.
"Someone's there? Who is it?" Yu Tu asked, puzzled.
"Have Luo Nan and the others spread the news that the Spirit King has appeared in Echo Valley to compete for the rare treasure. Then, regardless of whether the Spirit King actually appears or not, the existence of the rare treasure in Echo Valley will be as good as dirt on your crotch—even if it's not true, it's still considered true!"
Jiang Yuan cannot enter Echo Valley at this time because of the Blood Elf assessment. The beasts will sense his approach, and causing a beast riot would only affect the entire plan.
"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to let Luo Nan and the others spread the news? After all, we were the ones who spread the news about Echo Valley. If we spread another one now, the other mercenaries will suspect that we set up a trap!" Yu Tu said after careful consideration.
"You've made progress! It's rare to see things so clearly!" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but praise.
Yu Tu blushed and pouted, saying, "That's because you always limit my intelligence!"
"That's true, but we can only ask Luo Nan and the others for help!" Jiang Yuan shrugged helplessly, as they didn't know many mercenaries in Haicheng.
"It's okay, I'll go find it for you, I'll definitely handle it perfectly!" Yu Tu patted his chest and assured him.
"Will it work?"
Jiang Yuan was somewhat skeptical.
Yu Tu's eyes darted around, and she said in a serious tone, "If that doesn't work, I'll seduce you. I refuse to believe that all men in this world are as virtuous as Liu Xiahui!"
"Forget it, let's just find Luo Nan and the others! I, Jiang Yuan, don't need a woman to sacrifice her looks for me!" Jiang Yuan said irritably.
"Ha ha!"
Yu Tu chuckled, but her expression remained unchanged as she said, "Someone's getting impatient!"
"Do you know that's childish?" Jiang Yuan raised his voice by three octaves.
"Okay, I was just kidding!" Yu Tu became serious, hid the camera, and continued, "Alright, you go back and wait for me. I'll come back to be with you after I finish this!"
After saying that, she didn't linger and turned to leave.
"Has this woman taken the wrong medicine? She's never been this attentive before!"
Watching Yu Tu's retreating figure, Jiang Yuan was truly puzzled. First, she gave him a gift to apologize, and now she was taking the initiative to help him solve the problem. This was completely unlike her usual style.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore! A woman's heart is unfathomable; maybe she'll turn back into that spoiled princess tomorrow!"
Jiang Yuan turned and left. He needed to go back and study the second divine pill pattern of the Divine Pharmacist, and also refine the Three Lives Lotus into a pill. Otherwise, it would be the most wasteful thing to leave the treasure to gather dust in his personal space.
As for the lotus stem of the Three-Life Lotus obtained today, he has already transplanted it to his own medicinal herb field.
The Three-Life Lotus will only bloom after absorbing enough energy, and once it blooms into a blue lotus, it means that it does not need any other nutrients. It can simply be transplanted and left to bloom and bear fruit for two lifetimes.
However, the use of Qinglian in medicine requires an auxiliary ingredient, namely the life-extending power of the Flame of Life, but this poses no problem for Jiang Yuan.
