Living in the world of cultivation

In the early morning, a thin layer of mist filled the river.

There was no wind today, and the river was as smooth as a mirror, with only a thin mist flowing.

Su Fan got up early, sat cross-legged in the cabin, and continued to study several jade slips.

Because evil cultivators are often hunted by immortal sects and demon sects, there are many evil ways to hide and escape.

Yesterday, he spent a day reading and actually found a secret technique from these evil techniques, called "Substitute Technique".

Although the name is inconspicuous, this evil technique is quite practical.

To perform the "Substitute Technique", the blood and breath of the evil cultivator must be transplanted into the body of a stranger.

If someone uses the secret method of tracking and asking for traces to hunt him down, he will lead the other party to this substitute, thus escaping the enemy's pursuit.

Whether it is blood and breath, or even secret techniques such as divination, they will be affected by the "Substitute Technique".

It's just that this evil secret technique is a bit cruel. Once the spell is cast, the carrier can only live for five days, and then it will cough up blood and die.

At this time, Su Fan doesn't care about those things.

Moreover, there are many people who deserve to die in this world, and it is too easy to find a carrier to cast spells.

Now the situation is critical, and the joining of the Zhang family makes the original plan uncertain.

Regardless of whether the Zhang family's secret method is effective or not, Su Fan has to respond, so he decided to practice the "substitute method".

Su Fan did it as soon as he thought of it, without a moment's delay.

When the official ship sailed to Longjiang County, Su Fan quietly went ashore and left the official ship.

He found a deserted place, cast the "turtle breathing method", "empty spirit method" and "hidden breath method", and used the "Shura ghost face" to change his appearance, and also used the body to change his body shape.

Longjiang County City is very prosperous, and it is also a water and land hub in Dongping State. The scale is very similar to Luoshui County City. The boats on the river are thousands of miles long and the white sails cover the sky.

Su Fan, who was dressed as a down-and-out scholar, found several cultivators on the dock as soon as he went ashore. Their cultivation was all in the initial stage of Qi training.

These monks hid in the crowd, secretly monitoring the pedestrians on the dock.

He walked towards Longjiang County City and found several wanted portraits posted in a very eye-catching place at the city gate.

Unlike the previous blurry wanted portraits, these portraits were very clear and well-painted, even the eyebrows and hair were clearly visible.

Su Fan almost laughed out loud. The people wanted in these portraits were all his previous appearances, and the bounty was very high.

There were also several people with swords and knives gathered under the city gate, and their eyes kept wandering on the pedestrians.

Not only that, under the awning at the foot of the wall in the distance, there was also a monk in the middle stage of Qi training.

Su Fan shook his head. The Zhou family really spent a lot of money.

Even the secular world has invested so much power, and it is estimated that other places in Dongping are almost the same.

The main street in the city is more lively than the dock. Along the main street are all kinds of clothing stores, grocery stores, drug stores, money houses, and pawn shops.

Of course, there were also small vendors carrying loads, beating gongs, and hawking goods along the street, and opera troupes performing various acrobatics to beg for money at the street corners.

Su Fan walked into the teahouse on the street and found a place by the window to sit down.

He called the waiter and asked for a pot of tea and some exquisite snacks.

The waiter put the things on the table and just wanted to turn around and leave, but he was stunned there with blurred eyes.

Su Fan began to chat with the waiter. Teahouses are a place where all kinds of people are mixed, and the news is the most well-informed.

After a while, the waiter in the teahouse told the situation of Longjiang County City all at once.

After finding out useful information, Su Fan left the teahouse.

He came to a street in the west city. Most of the people here carried a strong sense of hostility, and their eyes were as greedy and fierce as hungry wolves.

At the corner of an alley, a group of hooligans wearing tattered jackets, most of whom had bone-cutting knives and hand axes on their waists, were standing in a semicircle, laughing and cursing.

But they just let him walk into the alley as if they didn't see Su Fan.

Zhang Baoshan, the leader of the Evil Tiger Gang, was drinking with several of his men.

Zhang Baoshan was known as the "Mountain Tiger". As the largest gang in Longjiang County, he killed people and robbed goods, forced women into prostitution, and did all kinds of evil.

He and his men were drinking happily, but he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he knew nothing.

After an unknown period of time, Zhang Baoshan shuddered.

What happened just now? Why did he feel like he had fainted?

"Don't drink anymore, what happened just now..."

Several men were also confused, looking at Zhang Baoshan with confusion.

"Brother, it's okay..."

"You drank too much, haha..."

"Brother, your alcohol tolerance is not good enough..."

Zhang Baoshan was so angry that he slapped the table and picked up the wine glass.

"Bullshit, I'll drink you to death..."

Su Fan, who was standing in the alley, saw that Zhang Baoshan didn't find anything unusual, so he turned around and left the alley.

After leaving Longjiang County, he rented a boat on the shore and crossed the river.

Su Fan came to the mountain on the opposite bank and found a place to set up the "Six Yin Stealing Formation".

He set up a tent, stewed a large pot of pickled cabbage and lamb spine in a clay stove, cut several kinds of stewed food, and took out a jar of strong liquor to drink.

After eating and drinking, Su Fan cut a pot of spiritual tea for himself.

He took out a recliner and spread it on it, drinking spiritual tea while looking at Longjiang County on the opposite bank.

This location is very good, about ten miles away from Longjiang County.

Moreover, the surrounding environment is hidden and desolate. From here, Longjiang County on the opposite bank can be seen at a glance.

The reason why Su Fan didn't leave immediately was because he wanted to verify whether the "substitute method" was effective.

"Dark Night City", the residence of the Zhou family.

Zhou Rong stood in a yard, walking back and forth anxiously.

In the house opposite, several foundation-building cultivators of the Zhang family were performing secret methods.

Originally, there was no trace of the murderer, and the several foundation-building cultivators of the Zhang family were helpless.

But surprisingly, Zhou Tianfang sent what he needed, satisfying the conditions for the Zhang family cultivators to cast spells.

Now all the cultivators of the Zhou family have entered various places in Dongping Country, all ready, waiting for Zhou Rong's order.

Zhou Rong rubbed his hands, feeling very nervous.

Now the Zhou family is under great pressure, and all the families in the entire sect are gloating and watching the Zhou family laugh.

It took so much time and so many resources, but they still haven't found the trace of the murderer.

If they can't find that kid again, the Zhou family will definitely lose face.

And he knew in his heart that the Zhou family couldn't afford it.

Even the cultivators of the main family can't always stay outside, they have to go back to practice.

At this time, the door of the room opposite opened, and several foundation-building cultivators of the Zhang family walked out of the room.

Zhou Rong hurried over and bowed to them.

"Xuanling, how is it?"

At this time, Zhang Xuanling's face was obviously a little pale, and he took a deep breath.

"Uncle, I am lucky to have fulfilled my mission..."

After hearing the other party's words, Zhou Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nephew, you have worked hard. Have you found the location of the murderer?"

Zhang Xuanling smiled and nodded, saying: "Found it, he is in Longjiang County..."
