Senior Brother Wang Chong laughed, "Little girl, you asked the right person. Senior Brother is the most free person in this sect, other than you and Dao Master Changhua, there are also the new disciples Pei An and Yi Xu, as well as a junior brother in the middle stage of the Foundation Period."
After all, Pei An and Yi Xu were both new disciples like her, and without any sort of fortuitous encounters, they would at most be at the edge of the Foundation Period. On the other hand, the Junior Brother Foundation Period that Senior Brother Wang Chong had mentioned before was the one who deserved to be suspected the most.
She had always believed that the Mask Man was a disciple of the Huaqing Palace, otherwise why would she have seen him so often during that period of time in the Huaqing Palace?
"Senior Brother, is this senior brother from Middle Period of Foundation Stage back yet?" Gu Qing suppressed her surging emotions and asked Wang Chong.
Wang Chong shook his head, "No."
After all, he had appeared within the Demon Domain Secret Realm, and had then disappeared without a trace. He did not know how he managed to do it, and the demons in his Demon Domain were not weak either. Could it be that this senior brother Foundation Period had been concealing his true cultivation from the Huaqing Palace all this time?
"Oh, I know." Gu Qing did not ask any further. Asking too many questions would arouse Wang Chong's suspicions.
At this time, Wang Chong was already somewhat suspicious, but just as he was about to ask, he heard a voice sound out from outside the cave. "Gu Qing …" The drawn out voice came to an end. Hee Zhixian saw Wang Chong in the cave and immediately lowered his head to greet him. "Senior Brother Wang Chong."
Seeing that an outsider had appeared, Wang Chong shut his mouth, holding onto the jars of spiritual wine, he walked out and said, "Senior will accept these jars of wine, senior brother will give you some rare spirit herbs later."
Gu Qing smiled as she watched him leave. Only after Wang Chong's figure disappeared into the horizon did he turn her head to look at Hee Zhixian, "Why did you suddenly come over?"
Hee Zhixian curled his lips, "Didn't you ask me to check on who has not been in the sect for the past two years?"
Gu Qing was just about to say that I already know, but just as she opened his mouth, Hee Zhixian already opened his mouth and said: "I'm going to check. In these past two years, there have been too many people who have not been in the sect, I can't even count them."
Gu Qing subconsciously frowned as she looked at Hee Zhixian.
Hee Zhixian was confused by her gaze, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Gu Qing shook her head without batting an eyelid, "I got it, I was just casually asking, it's not like it's a pressing matter."
Hee Zhixian did not think much into it, and laughed as he rubbed his hands together, and said in a fawning tone: "It has been a while since I last drank spiritual wine, you were so generous in giving me three pots of the Senior Brother Wang Chong, shouldn't I share some of it?"
Gu Qing had something on her mind, and was not in the mood to joke with him. With a flip of her palm, three jars of spiritual wine appeared.
Hee Zhixian hugged his happily, a smile blossoming on his face. "I knew it, you wouldn't be so biased."
As he spoke, he reached out to lift the seal of the altar, and a refreshing fragrance of wine wafted out. He inhaled with an intoxicated expression, "This is the smell that has kept me in this state for so long. Tsk tsk …"
Gu Qing kept staring at him, and did not miss any of the expression on his face. Then, she suddenly asked: "Hee Zhixian, have you ever left the Huaqing Palace in these two years?"
Hee Zhixian didn't even raise his head, as if he wasn't even aware of Gu Qing's probing, and casually replied: "I occasionally leave for a time or two, but I don't dare to stay outside for long, although I've dealt with the spiritual wine, I'm afraid that they would find me."
Gu Qing did not see any trace of panic or camouflage on his face. She let out a sigh, but the last time she tried to test Hee Zhixian, her answers were different, so she was sure that he was not Mask Man, but since he was not Mask Man, why did he lie to her?
Senior Brother Wang Chong said that only five people had left the Huaqing Palace, even if Hee Zhixian's answer was unclear, but he still said that there were too many people, such an obvious lie seemed to be purposely trying to confuse her attention.
Gu Qing was not stupid, she did not attach importance to the matter of the identity token previously, but when it was linked to the situation now, she was suddenly awakened, did Hee Zhixian and the Mask Man know each other?
He did not immediately question Hee Zhixian, but instead prepared to first find out whether that Foundation Period cultivator was actually a Mask Man or not.
But since that person was not around, raising her cultivation was the key.
Therefore, after Hee Zhixian left, she no longer brought wine to Yun Tian and only cultivated in his cave abode.
Although Yun Tian's actions had injured her heart a little, it was not enough to destroy all of her enthusiasm. She thought that perhaps she had forced him too tightly, because they had already made a large breakthrough in the Demon Domain's secret realm a while ago, and perhaps he was still unable to accept it for the time being, so she might as well give him some time.
Suddenly, she thought of the cave where Yun Tian had fainted in. It seemed like she had killed a female cultivator with Meet and Enjoy Sect, and the Universe Bag on her opponent's body was still here.
Before this, she had tried to open his Universe Bag. Perhaps his cultivation was higher than hers, so she had not been able to open it even after a few tries. I don't know if it's okay now.
In this past month, even though she was still at the Middle Period of Foundation Stage, the boundless spiritual energy in her body was no longer something that ordinary Middle Period of Foundation Stage cultivators could compare with. After all, her body was nourished by the spiritual liquid and she had seen quite a few cultivators go out to train. She now understood that the spirit energy in her body was much more abundant than the spirit energy of the same level. Perhaps challenges beyond one's cultivation level were not a problem at all.
Thinking about that, she calmed her heart and started to concentrate on transferring the Spirit Qi into the Universe Bag.
However, she realised that it was still quite tiring, it seemed that the female cultivator from Meet and Enjoy Sect was at least a cultivator from Later Period of Foundation Stage.
However, she did not give up immediately. Instead, she used her spirit energy to explore around, attempting to open the other party's Universe Bag.
"Hiss …"
With a light sound, Gu Qing's eyes bloomed with a bright light. Following that, the Meet and Enjoy Sect female cultivator's Universe Bag began to slowly activate.
She lowered her head to look. There was everything inside, and it was much richer than she was. There were a lot of Low Grade Spiritual Stone, middle ranked Spiritual Stone, high ranked Spiritual Stone, as well as a messy pile of pills and magic tools.
Gu Qing thought about how she had even obtained a few pieces of the top-grade Spiritual Stone from Loong Ao. With this, even if she did not take the risk to sell the spiritual wine, she would probably be able to hold on for as long as she needed to raise her Golden Core Stage.
After all, the pills that helped her increase her spiritual energy could be saved. To other cultivators, this was a huge expense.
What is this?
Gu Qing took out a bell. It was small and delicate, as if it was worn on his wrist. Thinking about it, Gu Qing took it out and put it on his wrist.
The bell was tied with a light blue ribbon and wrapped around her white wrist, causing her skin to be like snow.
She tried to communicate with the bell and discovered that it had been refined by the Meet and Enjoy Sect female cultivator. It would probably take her some time to erase her consciousness and refine it again.
Although she did not know how profound this bell was, it was still her first Spiritual Treasure after all. She kept flipping it over and over, and she loved it from the bottom of her heart.
After hastily tidying up the Universe Bag, not only did he let out a "tsk tsk" sigh, no wonder so many people were trying to kill him for his treasures. If he stole a fat sheep like Loong Ao, it would truly be enough for him to cultivate for a short period of time.
Even if it wasn't Loong Ao, this Meet and Enjoy Sect female cultivator was not poor, at least she was richer than her.
But how could she know that not all the cultivators that went out were rich, most of them were actually very poor, such as rogue cultivators like Ye Sanniang and Chen Jinhu. The reason why Loong Ao was rich was because he was the crown prince of the Goblin Tribe, and the reason why the Meet and Enjoy Sect Cultivators were rich was because they could easily use their devil arts to kill people and steal their treasures.
Gu Qing was rotating her wrist to admire the first Spiritual Treasure, when she suddenly heard footsteps approaching constantly.
She immediately took off the bell on her wrist and threw it into her Universe Bag along with the Meet and Enjoy Sect female cultivator.
Just as she was about to sit up, Liu Ying jumped in.
"Gu Qing, the person you told me to keep an eye on has returned." Liu Ying acted as if she wanted a reward as she stared at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing's eyes lit up, and immediately stood up from the stone bed. "What did you say?"
She knew that this person was Wang Chong, so she could not ask any further, so as to avoid arousing the Senior Brother Wang Chong's suspicions. had lied to her, and although she did not understand the reason, she could not get him to pay attention to this person. On the contrary, it was Liu Ying whom she did not understand, and was the most suitable candidate.
"The same person you wanted me to pay attention to. He returned to the sect today." Liu Ying grinned, and at the same time came closer, "Why do you want me to keep an eye on him? It can't be that you have fallen for him, right? " As she said that, she frowned and stared at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "I have business with him, don't think about such a messed up thing."
"Business?" If you have anything important to say, let me hear it as well. " Liu Ying obviously did not believe it.
But Gu Qing could not stay any longer, and quickly left her cave.
"Hey, why are you walking so fast! "Wait for me …" How could Liu Ying know that in the blink of an eye, Gu Qing's figure had already disappeared before him?
By the time she chased out of the cave, Gu Qing no longer existed.
In this one or two months, even though Gu Qing was cultivating in seclusion, she occasionally went out to investigate about her sect's Middle Period of Foundation Stage that Senior Brother Wang Chong had mentioned. Then, Gu Qing found out about his background.
That person's name was Feng Jian, a cultivator who had entered the Huaqing Palace for ten years. Although this type of aptitude wasn't considered good, it wasn't too bad either, otherwise, he wouldn't have been an inner sect disciple.
She easily found her way out of the cave, but when she arrived at the cave entrance, she stopped, hesitating to find an excuse to test it out.
At this moment, he heard a stern shout from inside, "Who was it that sneaked around outside?"
Gu Qing choked, and then walked into the cave, "Senior Brother Feng!" Once inside, Gu Qing immediately replied, but during that time she kept staring at the other party's eyes.
