Chapter 457: Obtaining Clues with a Huge Reward

"No, I really have something important to do."

Du En emphasized this.

His voice was calm, highlighting his sincerity.

Taoist Chi Li was stunned, and his anger began to subside. After a little hesitation, he waved his hand, and the Jindan cultivators behind him immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent a message to their accomplices, asking them not to stop the managers of the City Lord's Mansion.

He chose to stop them before because he was afraid that these guys who had grudges against him in the past and were very unfriendly would come to complain first and directly escalate the situation.

Although this move seemed stupid, in short, they were doing their best to protect themselves, so now it seemed that they had easily passed the test, which was indeed a relief.

Du En just left them alone.

Taoist Chi Li frowned secretly.

Based on his understanding of Master Jiuyun, this group of people who were half of his subordinates, the stupid behavior under panic would only further anger the other party and lead to a real bloodbath.

But now...

"Something is wrong, is there something really going on?"

The Taoist Chi Li muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Seeing that the Taoist Chi Li had calmed down, Du En also quietly withdrew his observation of the inside and outside of the market. As expected, he found nothing, and turned to talk about his purpose.

"What, what?! That little beast! Your only son actually disappeared for no reason, and he was on the outskirts of the market... Who did this?!"

As the Taoist Chi Li was talking, he suddenly turned back and looked at those Jindan casual cultivators in the market. He seemed to be angry at being deceived, but there were other colors flashing in his eyes, as if he thought of something, so he was in doubt.

This is interesting...

Du En caught that point, secretly narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not anxious, and did not show anger. He was completely calm. Seeing that, the guard leader who was secretly observing grinned in his heart, feeling that this person was too lazy to even pretend, and he really didn't know what to say.

Other guards also began to be suspicious, because this was really unlike their Lord's daily behavior. In the eyes of people inside and outside the market, although it was not obvious on the surface, he was actually extremely angry. If no one gave a reasonable explanation today, I am afraid that the inside and outside of Lixiao Market would be bloodbathed!

Am I too kind and soft-hearted, so that people have forgotten who is the master of Jiuyun City? !

Taoist Chi Li was also a little uneasy. If Master Jiuyun was unreasonable, he would naturally have the confidence. Anyway, his life was over. It was nothing to lose if he insisted on himself before dying. Moreover, with their friendship, he might not die.

But now, the situation is obviously different. The other side is right!

"No! No!"

"How dare we attack the young master!"

"I didn't even know that he had come back secretly again!"

The Jindan loose cultivators were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Some of them collapsed to the ground. They spoke hurriedly, fearing that they would suffer a great disaster.

Although the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were a little slow, they all smiled grimly at this time, feeling that the rhythm had finally returned to the boundaries they were familiar with. They were about to speak actively, to catch these guys, torture them, interrogate them, and even search their souls!

You say there is no such thing?

Empty words are not enough, I'd better come and see for myself!

Taoist Chi Li glanced at these young cultivators, but didn't see any clues of deceiving him, so he hesitated a little, turned back, and said with a stiff upper lip:

"Well, Fellow Daoist Jiuyun, although your son is only in the Foundation Establishment Stage, as your only son, I think he has a secret treasure that can protect him, and it is difficult for ordinary Jindan Stage cultivators to hurt him. They are all ordinary people with no ability, and they should, probably, not be the culprits who caused his disappearance..."

At the end, he felt like he was wasting his breath.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the lazy Du En who came this time, he wouldn't even say these words, because to Master Jiuyun, these are just some nonsense, and may even only add fuel to the fire and have a counterproductive effect.

"Well, they really can't do it."

Du En directly affirmed this.

Huh?

Taoist Chi Li was stunned.

Huh? !

The guards were dumbfounded.

"Thank you, City Lord, for your magnanimity! Thank you, City Lord, for your wisdom!"

Those Jindan cultivators didn't care so much. They could get a way out of a dead end, and they all praised sincerely, and some even shed tears of gratitude.

Well, it's acting.

Du En didn't care about it, and his calm eyes fell on Taoist Chi Li.

He also quickly came back to his senses, frowning but because the wrinkles were too deep, it looked like he didn't wrinkle at all. At this moment, he felt suspicious and weird, and even looked at the person in front of him with a sense of vigilance.

But no matter how you look at it, it's the majestic long-bearded Master Jiuyun, the junior he used to look after, who gradually avoided him, then disappeared one day, and broke through the Spiritualization Stage hundreds of years later, and reappeared to show off.

But...

The old Taoist Chi Li's eyes flickered, and he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that you should have a clue in your mind, but I don't know why you went to such great lengths to come find me. Do you have something to ask?"

"I didn't go to such great lengths to come find you, and it might even be the opposite."

"Hmm?"

Seeing that Taoist Chi Li looked a little confused and didn't understand what was said, Du En didn't bother him, and just continued: "Also, I'm actually very uncertain now, so I'm just trying to catch rabbits by sniping at straws, hoping to shock someone. If Daoist Chi Li knows anything, no matter what it is, as long as it seems unusual recently, you can tell me."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, waiting for the other party to digest it, and then began to tempt him directly: "If that clue can help me, then I can help Daoist Chi Li extend his life for another hundred years, and I can let you get the elixir to break through the realm."

Whether it's prolonging life or breaking through, it's actually the same thing for Du En. As long as the other party breaks through to the perfection of the Nascent Soul, he can naturally extend his life for a period of time. Looking at the situation that the resources in the Qingxuan Star Realm are very scarce, I think giving him a good medicine may even produce effects far beyond normal.

And this level of means is not something that Du En can't do now.

He could make pills by copying others, and the Dark God beside him was an expert in this art, and it was easy for him to feed a fifth-level giant snake monster!

As for the materials, there were plenty of materials as high as the mountain of Zhenjun.

In an instant, the scene immediately became quiet.

Whether it was singing praises or suspicion and panic, they were all covered by new emotions at this moment.     Greed!

The cultivation world on the Qingxuan Star Realm was ordinary, and the atmosphere was so ordinary. As long as precious things appeared, they would induce their desires, so there were often scenes of killing people for treasures and dying because of treasures.

The old heart of Chi Li Laodao couldn't help but beat at this moment.

Is this Jiuyun kid finally willing to take care of me, an old guy?

He couldn't help thinking so.

There is no falsehood!

Only truth!

If Du En can take out that kind of treasure, then he must be Master Jiuyun!

"So, do you have any clues?"

Under a heavy reward, there must be brave men and wise men!

At this moment, thousands of people inside and outside the market are racking their brains to find suspicious points in and outside the city recently, and there are indeed some.

"Lord City Lord, there seem to be quite a few people who have suddenly disappeared recently. I know a few special ones among them. They have never caused trouble..."

"Senior Daxiu, I have also discovered some situations. I am from the Monster Hunting Chamber of Commerce. Recently, whether it is the nearby Liuyun Mountains or other places in Xuwei, the number of certain specific monsters is slightly lower than that of the usual festivals. If it weren't for those of us who make a living from this, I'm afraid no one would be able to find it."

"The treasure has appeared! Lord, I heard that there seems to be signs of a treasure appearing near the Gengluo Sect in the north, and the disciples of the big sect there are specifically covering up the news!"

One by one, the small clues that are different from the usual ones that can be tried to explore are laid out like this.

Du En was not stingy. He took out a few ready-made pills from Master Jiuyun's wealth and threw them away. The crowd disappeared without any movement. Then they heard all kinds of suppressed surprises and gratitude from far and near.

It was also because this side was different from usual and very generous that they dared to maintain this cautious nature.

The others were so jealous that they were about to bleed, and they immediately quarreled.

However, Du En was a stingy person for useless clues. Don't think that he would pull out a hair, and there would be no room for him to throw away treasures next.

"Fortunately, fortunately, if all the clues really popped up at once, I would really lose face!"

Sheng Zhaoshui couldn't help but call it lucky.

Because it would seem that he was just messing around before, or too useless.

But this can't be blamed on him, because he was alone before, and the surrounding stars outside the star realm needed to be explored, and the immortal world scattered into many pieces inside the star realm also needed to be explored.

Therefore, it is already very remarkable to be able to find out everything inside and outside in a short period of time, and it is understandable to ignore such small details.

Moreover, even if Du En and the others did not come, he would have to start from Jiuyun City and conduct a more detailed and in-depth investigation. If these situations did not come out of thin air, he would be able to track them down in one or two days.

The noise gradually subsided.

Du En looked at the Taoist priest Chi Li.

The other party pretended to be calm and reserved, but in fact, seeing that others did not come up with any obvious clues, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and there was also a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

At this moment, unknowingly, this Taoist priest has become the focus of the scene. Those guards, especially those who guarded Jiuyun's only son, are now deeply regretful. They only regret that they did not act boldly before and rushed into the market first to capture this old man and interrogate him!

If there was, the one waiting to receive the reward now would be himself!

Ha!

Taoist priest Chi Li glanced at these guys who could not suppress their malice, and only sneered in his heart.

Although he was indeed dying, and had been treated specially by Master Jiuyun before, it was not something that these juniors could care about!

Of course, the important thing now was not these pawns.

If the Taoist priest Chi Li had not been reserved, he would have rubbed his hands and asked what the specific treasure was, but now he coughed lightly and decided to talk about business first.

"To be honest, not long ago, I wanted to take a chance, so I went out to find a 5,000-year-old spiritual medicine..."

Speaking of this, he looked across carefully and found that Du En's eyes were calm, which made him feel more confident. He continued: "On the way back to the city at night, I happened to pass by the abandoned mine in the south of the city. It was the mine that had been excavated wantonly and had dried up and abandoned a hundred years ago."

The Taoist priest Chi Li couldn't help swallowing his saliva slightly, and he seemed quite taboo and hesitant, but thinking about his impending death, he gritted his teeth and continued to spread the message.

"I heard some noises at that time, very strange, I really don't know how to describe it, I couldn't see anything unusual with my spiritual sense, you know, my spiritual sense is quite extraordinary, stronger than the average Nascent Soul Perfection, I can go nearly a thousand feet underground, but I didn't find anything, it's really weird!"

"It's just like the mumbling of an ordinary old man before death, the call of the netherworld that people hear when they are about to die! I was just horrified at the time, hesitant and didn't make any trouble, I went to investigate, and the result, alas, the pill was still not refined, I thought this life would be like this, that was indeed a revelation from God..."

At the end, the dying old Taoist couldn't help but look depressed and sighed.

Du En weighed it and made sure he was not lying, so he glanced at the Dark God.

Just now, the other side was saying that their little moves had not stopped.

There was nothing too good to use, just some scraps, and then the Dark God quickly refined a usable pill according to the old Taoist's situation.

"Flame Essence Pill, take the edge of Li Yan, mix several ordinary fire materials, enough to make him reborn, break through to the perfection of Yuanying, and extend his life for 200 years."

Du En repeated in his voice, and bottled the pill and sent it over.

The old Taoist Chi Li raised his sleeves to block the view of outsiders, took it and uncorked it, and was immediately excited, no longer looking depressed and sighing.

"If you have any clues, you can go to the City Lord's Mansion and leave your knowledge and name and address. I will come back to review it. If it is useful, I will send the reward over."

Du En said this while the iron was hot, which shocked the hearts of the people who were originally envious, jealous and lost. They quickly responded, and they were all looking through their own connections in their hearts, thinking about launching it immediately after returning.

There is no need to worry about the other party not being able to produce treasures for a great monk's bounty!

Isn't it true that even the cunning old senior like Chi Li, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, couldn't suppress his excitement just now?

Of course, some people have malicious thoughts, but as long as those who know the clues and intelligence don't get too complacent, there will be no problem if they can go to the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion.

It's not that Du En believes in the people left there, but he just refined a few fifth-level puppets and sent them over.

- Next, we have to go outside the city to investigate, and we may not have the spare energy to closely monitor the city, not to mention that the monitoring of the divine consciousness has already exposed serious shortcomings!
