Chapter 418: Suspicious Individuals

Su Jingzhen didn’t return to his courtyard to rest. After all, it was still early in the day.

He came to Shadow Hall again.

There were some pieces of information he needed to get his hands on himself.

Upon seeing Su Jingzhen arrive, the demon cultivators in Shadow Hall immediately informed Hall Master Yunshan to personally receive him.

“Chief Acolyte, what brings you here today?”

Facing Su Jingzhen, Yunshan was still filled with trepidation.

He was afraid that there was something about his management of Shadow Hall that displeased Su Jingzhen.

The Law Enforcement Hall had been flourishing these days.

Many demon cultivators who had inadvertently broken the rules were tortured by them to the point of misery.

This was the first time they had encountered such a system, so if something was done poorly, it was perfectly normal.

“Investigate for me. Find out about any unusual cultivators who have entered Linjiang City recently.”

Hearing this, Yunshan was taken aback.

Every cultivator in the cultivation world had their own unique characteristics, and Su Jingzhen’s request was a bit too broad.

Seeing Yunshan’s expression, Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow.

“Difficult?”

At these words, Yunshan immediately jolted. “It’s not difficult, not difficult. Please rest assured, Chief Acolyte, I will arrange it immediately.”

Su Jingzhen nodded and added, “Also, I want to know the whereabouts of the Elders, including Xiong Wensheng, who came from the main sect.

This matter might be difficult for you to investigate, so I don’t expect you to succeed.

Do your best, and report to me immediately if you get any news about anyone coming from the main sect.”

“As you command, Chief Acolyte!”

After giving these instructions, Su Jingzhen left Shadow Hall.

He didn’t have any intention of making things difficult for them.

Yunshan let out a sigh of relief.

For Su Jingzhen at this point, since the danger came from Evil Moon Sect’s main sect, he naturally wanted to control this information himself.

Of course, with the White Python by his side, he wasn’t particularly afraid of the main sect taking any action against him.

He even had a faint anticipation.

He had complete trust in the White Python’s strength.

Having such a trump card, he wouldn’t hesitate to use it.

As he walked away from Shadow Hall, Su Jingzhen suddenly felt a tightening around his waist.

The seven Secret Repository’s stored blood energy were once again activated.

That blood energy imbued with the might of the North Sea Dragon slowly flowed towards the belt.

It was absorbing his blood energy.

Su Jingzhen knew this was a warning from the White Python, perhaps urging him to start cultivating.

However, Su Jingzhen ignored the warning.

He walked straight towards his courtyard, this time he truly wanted to rest well and prepare for the evening’s battle.

There were no unexpected events within Evil Moon Sect.

He quickly returned to his courtyard. To appease the White Python, Su Jingzhen didn’t immediately enter the room upon returning.

Instead, he practiced ‘Python Scales Power’ in the courtyard, his blood energy surging within him.

Immediately, he felt that the blood energy generated by practicing ‘Python Scales Power’ flowed mostly towards the waist belt.

After ten circles, Su Jingzhen seemed to have thought of something and stopped, his gaze fixed on the belt with seriousness.

“Suzhen,” he addressed the belt, “If I consume a drop of North Sea Dragon’s blood, the chaotic power during absorption would be incredibly destructive to my body. Can you absorb it?

Or is that kind of power useful to you?”

As soon as he spoke, Su Jingzhen clearly felt the power on the belt become significantly stronger.

The White Python’s voice echoed in Su Jingzhen’s ear, “Of course it’s useful.

I’ve been sensing the North Sea Dragon’s blood on you and I was just waiting for you to consume it.

Do you want to consume it now?”

There was a hint of excitement in its tone.

“Of course not, I still have injuries, and I have things to do tonight.

But since you can absorb that chaotic power, perhaps the day I consume those two drops of North Sea Dragon’s blood won’t be far off.”

Su Jingzhen was also excited.

Every time he consumed North Sea Dragon’s blood before, it nearly killed him.

He had to walk the line between life and death each time.

With the White Python’s ability, he wouldn’t have to wait until he had enough points to open the next Secret Repository to act.

However, hearing Su Jingzhen’s words, the White Python’s voice came again, “If you’re not consuming it today, then why are you talking to me?”

Regarding this matter, the White Python didn’t seem to have any urge to push him.

This actually surprised Su Jingzhen.

He had originally thought the White Python would be incredibly eager for the North Sea Dragon’s blood.

But now, it seemed to have a rather laid-back attitude.

“Suzhen…”

As Su Jingzhen tried to call out again, the White Python didn’t respond.

He smiled wryly.

He continued practicing ‘Python Scales Power’ for a few more rounds before returning to the stone bed in his room.

After taking off the belt and placing it aside, he lay down.

He let time pass gradually.

Since awakening his golden finger, Su Jingzhen hadn’t enjoyed such carefree idleness for a long time.

When he was free, Su Jingzhen subconsciously liked to review his actions during that period.

He would summarize the gains and losses of the recent period.

“In the Qingzhou region, even if I wanted to continue refining my spirit, I couldn’t find a more advanced spirit refining technique than ‘Divine Wandering’.

So, for now, I’ll use this one. Perhaps after I find the Divine Diagram from Feng Qingya, I can start to further improve my spirit refining.”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.

He felt that although this era wasn’t suitable for spirit refining, cultivators in this era still underestimated the role of divine consciousness.

In his opinion, if a normal cultivator had to choose between spirit refining and body refining as an auxiliary, spirit refining was far more beneficial.

Of course, for Su Jingzhen, improving his spirit refining was simply through normal contemplation cultivation.

He would absolutely not use the point method.

He firmly believed that as long as he pushed his body refining to a certain extreme, he would experience a feedback effect.

At that time, the points required for both spirit refining and body refining would be significantly reduced.

He, Su Jingzhen, had always been a frugal person, and points, of course, had to be used to maximize profits.

“Also, although I’ve been trying to keep a low profile lately, things haven’t gone as planned. Although I have more and more trump cards around me, I still need to be more careful.”

Su Jingzhen muttered to himself again.

Time passed quickly.

Before sunset, Su Jingzhe still didn’t see Luo Yuebai.

But the voice of the maid Qiu Yue was heard outside his yard.

“Young Master, Hall Master Yunshan is requesting an audience outside.”

Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s heart skipped a beat.

He grabbed the belt beside him and fastened it, then pushed open the door and walked out.

He knew Yunshan must have found something to come and see him proactively.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare.

Su Jingzhen also knew that although he had been kind lately, in the eyes of the ordinary demon cultivators of the Evil Moon Sect Linjiang Branch, he was an absolute devil.

He had ultimately become the kind of person others disliked.

Yunshan had already been led to the reception hall by the maidservant in the courtyard.

Seeing Su Jingzhen approach, Yunshan immediately stood up respectfully and bowed.

Without any unnecessary words, he went straight to the point.”The matter that the Chief Acolyte asked me to investigate has yielded some clues.

As the Chief Acolyte predicted, the whereabouts of the Seventh Elder and others are beyond the reach of Shadow Hall’s current capabilities.

However, after carefully comparing and analyzing the collected information, I have indeed discovered several cultivators with very obvious characteristics!”

As he spoke, Yunshan respectfully handed over a black jade piece.

“The information about those cultivators has been recorded inside.

There are more than ten people in total. Please, Chief Acolyte, personally identify them. I really can’t tell which one is the one you are looking for.”

There was some anxiety in Yunshan’s tone as he said this.

Su Jingzhen took the jade piece and quickly scanned it with his divine consciousness.

But even after he had gone through the information of the dozen or so cultivators recorded, he was equally unable to tell who belonged to the Second Elder’s Six Heavenly Generals.

After a moment of silence, Su Jingzhen’s storage ring suddenly flickered.

A jade bottle appeared in his hand.

It contained a top-grade Breaking Through Adversity Pill, which he casually threw to Yunshan.

“Well done, this is your reward.

Go down, I might come looking for you again later.

Of course, you shouldn’t neglect the development of Shadow Hall either.”

“Thank you, Chief Acolyte!”

Yunshan’s old face was beaming with joy.

He knew that Su Jingzhen was a powerful alchemist, and this casually thrown pill was definitely invaluable.

“There are more than ten targets, but as long as it’s Six Heavenly Generals, they will inevitably be unable to resist me.

Should I risk my life to go one by one and test them?”

After pondering for a moment, Su Jingzhen muttered to himself.

Then he didn’t think much about it in this regard.

The last sliver of the setting sun had already fallen behind the western mountains.

Su Jingzhen didn’t immediately return to his room, but instead came to the water source in the courtyard and washed himself clean.

When he returned to his room, he sat quietly on the stone bed.

His state was already adjusted to the best, and he was just waiting for Luo Yuebai to arrive.

Time passed, and night deepened.

A white figure did indeed land in the courtyard.

Then she quietly pushed open the door and entered.

Luo Yuebai had kept her word and arrived on time.
