Chapter 408 Investigation



Hua Xiangyun finished tidying up and was about to return to her room to continue her cultivation when Ye Ajin and the others who had been sent out returned.

“Master Wu, it’s all just the villagers making a fuss. On two occasions, a spirit witnessed someone sneaking into the widow’s house in the middle of the night. In order to hide from people, the person ran at top speed, leaving only a blur, which is why they had this illusion.”

There was another one, who saw a tree stump but didn't even see it clearly, yet scared himself by letting out a loud scream.

Hua Xiangyun: "Just these two times? It wasn't that people found out about it for several days in a row."

Fang Qinghe, "Didn't you ask Ren Jinpeng from Qianjin Village to help you inquire about this?"

Hua Xiangyun nodded slowly. "Yes, is there any news from him?"

Fang Qinghe: "We have news. Isn't it a coincidence? Similar situations have occurred in several nearby villages, but no spirits have detected anything unusual."

Hua Xiangyun and her apprentice looked solemn. Just as they had expected, it seemed that the other party had come with ill intentions.

They made such a big commotion, probably to force Master Xuan to take action.

As for why the other side didn't capture the spirits on the mountain and interrogate them, it was naturally because the underworld officials had issued a gag order. Even if they wanted to reveal information, the soul imprint wouldn't allow it.

This is why the underworld officials saw that they had accomplished several major tasks and helped him fill in several loopholes, so they stepped in to help them resolve the potential troubles.

"Won't there be a problem with Uncle Zhan?" Hua Xiangyun was afraid that these people would find out where Uncle Zhan and the others had come from.

These people dare to steal even a small feng shui dragon vein; I'm afraid they might do something utterly depraved.

Wu Chenxi said, "Don't worry, your uncle has already made plans."

If these people really track down Junior Brother Zhan, then she and Xiangyun won't be able to hide anymore.

Now that we have a direction of suspicion, we should investigate which strangers have come here during this period.

Fang Qinghe and his team rarely get work, so they explained the situation clearly and then went out with their tasks.

They just hoped that this matter would be handled well, and that the two masters would give them more incense and gold ingots.

Hua Xiangyun entered the room and began to perform divination. She hoped to resolve these matters thoroughly and prevent any future troubles for this land.

Wu Chenxi watched from the side. She had no talent for these things, but that didn't stop her from appreciating her apprentice's competence.

"How is it? Is the other party located in the southwest?" Although I don't know divination, I can still understand these things.

Hua Xiangyun is "in the southwest direction, probably still near Xunjia Village."

If the other party is targeting them, they must be wandering around the area, and their exact location is uncertain.

Wu Chenxi was furious. "I want to know which family is betraying us. I will not only catch this disgrace to the Xuanmen, but also expose him to the world."

The practice of magic is not about making them transcend the law; on the contrary, it requires them to restrain themselves even more.

By using the feng shui and spiritual energy of his own home to sacrifice the evil gods of others, he became the common enemy of the entire esoteric arts world from the moment he made his move.

If anyone still dares to come looking for trouble, then it's time for a thorough reckoning.

Both master and disciple were determined to keep the person here, so they naturally intensified their cultivation.

Not knowing the opponent's strength and rashly going to fight is not their style.

Wu Chenxi had seen her disciple's Nine Lotus Cauldron before. With such a protective magic weapon by his side, her disciple was naturally unafraid of such a life-or-death battle.

Although she was extremely curious about the Nine Lotus Cauldron, she did not ask any further questions. Even in a master-disciple relationship, one must maintain a certain distance.

Hua Xiangyun waited until she was alone in the room, and then set up layers of formations before summoning the Nine Lotus Cauldron.

"Master, you've finally remembered me." The Nine Lotus Cauldron floated merrily above Hua Xiangyun's head. "Did you discover some yin energy somewhere again?"

Hua Xiangyun cut off contact with him for so long because he was too noisy.

I remember when I was preparing for the college entrance exam, this guy actually offered to help me cheat.

Are you kidding me? Is Hua Xiangyun the kind of person who would resort to opportunism?

She wasn't aiming to be the top scorer; with her own abilities, she could still get into a decent university through hard work.

"You're always thinking about how to absorb Yin energy. You haven't fully digested what you got last time, have you?" Do you really think I can't see through his little tricks? Although he gave me some spiritual liquid, this guy must have intercepted quite a bit of it.

The Nine Lotus Cauldrons were already her property, and a master-servant contract had been signed. Did he think that he could hide them among the pile of objects in the corner without her noticing?

She just didn't want to expose them. After all, you can't expect a horse to run without feeding it. She wasn't Hua Bapi, and she couldn't possibly take everything for herself.

For a moment, Jiulian Ding felt guilty. He had done something wrong and his master had noticed. He wondered if this would make his master think even worse of him.

I had long heard that after those divine artifacts made a pact with their masters, they could get whatever they wanted and received the master's utmost favor.

But when it came to him, the master seemed to be constantly on guard against him, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"I wonder if Master has encountered some difficulties in summoning the cauldron?" The Nine Lotus Cauldron immediately changed the subject. "During this time, I have absorbed some spiritual energy and seem to have gained some memories. As long as Master can gather a few medicinal ingredients for me, I can help you convert them into pills?"

If it doesn't demonstrate any value, it'll probably be summoned by its master less and less in the future.

He also wanted to absorb more yin energy to build up his reserves.

He discovered the joy of hoarding things; no wonder people in this world like to store everything.

Even the master not only placed many items in his storage ring, but also some inside his cauldron.

The Nine Lotus Cauldron still knows too little about humans. It cannot comprehend wisdom such as a cunning rabbit having three burrows or not putting eggs in the same basket.

"I asked you to come out because I wanted to ask if you can absorb the spiritual energy cultivated by people like us cultivators?"

Nine Lotus Cauldron, "...Master, have you forgotten? When I first arrived in this world, I also relied on absorbing your spiritual energy to cultivate..."

I remember how angry the owner was back then. I wonder if bringing it up now will make him hold a grudge?

Ah... I guess I'm going to be locked up in a dark room again.

Hua Xiangyun: "...Of course I remember that. I was asking if you could absorb the spiritual energy from someone else's body?"

The Nine Lotus Cauldron spun around in the air a few times before saying, "Master, if you want to absorb someone's essence, I don't recommend doing so unless absolutely necessary."

I've followed several sorcerers and come to understand that cultivation is all about cause and effect. Cultivation methods that are obtained without effort are not a long-term solution..."

Hua Xiangyun sneered, "Then why did you encourage me to collect more Yin energy before..."

Nine Lotus Cauldron secretly regretted that it didn't have a mouth; otherwise, it should have used something to firmly glue it shut. How did it end up sticking out again?

"This yin energy shouldn't exist in this world; we're following the righteous path..."
