Xu Ziran asked: "What should I do? Do I have to go back to Kunlun Mountain to find it?"

"No need. When it recovers from its injuries, it will find you in its own way."

Xu Ziran breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best."

He asked again: "Then shall we go back now?"

"Wait a minute—" Su Mo bent over and looked around the surrounding vegetation, and said, "Three months ago, there was obviously a fierce struggle here. The traces left by cultivation bases above level 50 are not so Easily disappears."

The two of them searched here for an hour with full expectation, but found nothing.

Su Mo frowned: "Could it be that it was a battle of disparity in strength and killed with one blow?"

"Great disparity in strength?" Xu Ziran couldn't believe it. Facing a level 50 nine-headed demon snake, Shen Xufeng had the ability to kill with one blow.

The sky was getting dark, and Jeju Island could no longer bring them any ideas, so the two returned with swords.

First, when he went back to the inn, Xu Ziran was not at ease about the boy with asthma.

As soon as he entered the door of the inn, the boy happened to be sitting on a table with his chin on the table, thinking about something.

Xu Ziran walked over and asked with concern: "Do you feel better?"

The boy raised his head, pursed his lips, and nodded slowly.

Xu Ziran asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Li Yu."

Xu Ziran hesitated for a moment, then said again: "Can you tell us about your sister in detail?"

Li Yu said "hmm" in his throat, "I have never met my parents, and my sister and I have been living in my uncle's house. Originally, my uncle and aunt were very kind to us. But then, I got a strange disease and ate The medicine didn’t work for a long time, so my uncle and aunt didn’t want to take care of me anymore. I had no money to buy medicine, and my cough became worse and worse. I heard that the owner of the estate was looking for a new wife, and the bride would die within three days. I will die, but the owner will give a lot of money to the bride's family. My sister agreed to marry him in order to get money to buy me medicine."

"Yesterday was the third day of my sister's marriage. I ran to the villa, and the people in the villa told me that my sister was dead. I wanted to see my sister, but they refused to give it and kicked me out. "

This is similar to what Xu Ziran thought.He patted Li Yu's head: "Then why did you go to such a far suburb to repair your sister's grave?"

"It's my sister's favorite place, and she's taken me there several times."

Seeing Li Yu's delighted and then dimmed face, Xu Ziran didn't know what to say.

"If it's not easy to go back to my uncle's house, you can stay in the inn first during this time. We will investigate your sister's affairs and come to see you once a day. You stay here and don't run around and be obedient. Okay?"

Li Yu whispered: "Thank you brother."

After comforting Li Yu, Xu Ziran and Su Mo returned to Yunxu Villa.

Entering the courtyard Shen Xufeng arranged for them, Xu Ziran asked the maid: "Is the owner still bathing in medicine?"

The maid squatted down: "The owner's daily medicinal bath lasts from three o'clock in the afternoon to seven o'clock in the evening."

Xu Ziran frowned: "Every day?"

"Yes."

It is too strange to have 4 hours of medicated bath every day.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Your owner, is there any disease in your body?" Then, he pointed at Su Mo: "This young master is proficient in medical skills. If so, please ask him to take a look."

The maid squatted down again: "My lord, you are joking. Our servants don't know about these things."

No news was found, Xu Ziran was a little bored: "Oh, that's it. Then you go down first, we like to be quiet and don't need others to serve us."

"Yes."

"Hey, wait."

The maid stopped and looked back suspiciously.

Xu Ziran asked: "Where is the place where your landlord takes a medicinal bath?"

"The medicated bath room is in Xungong in the southeast. But when the owner is taking a medicated bath, no one is allowed to approach it."

Xu Ziran waved his hand: "Well, I see, you can go down."

"I have an idea." He said as soon as the maid left.

"Do you want to go to the medicine bath room to have a look?"

"No. On the contrary, I think that since Shen Xufeng allowed the maid to tell us about the medicated bath room, it means that there is no problem there, but a bait."

"So you plan to...?"

Xu Ziran was silent for a while, and said: "Before that, I want to hear your judgment on Shen Xufeng."

"Usually in this situation, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally that he is possessed. But I also said before, if this is the case, unless the cultivation level of the thing attached to him is far higher than mine, otherwise I cannot They couldn't even notice it. The reason why Shen Xufeng kept us in the villa instead of directly hitting us out like the others was out of fear. Therefore, this point can be ruled out."

Xu Ziran nodded in agreement.

"Then the biggest possibility is that Shen Xufeng has indeed cultivated some kind of weird secret technique. In fact, this kind of situation has not never happened in the long history of the cultivation world. Those who are generally qualified can be promoted to a considerable level in a short period of time. There are also exercises that make people completely unable to perceive their cultivation level after cultivation. However, such exercises are not only rare, but also require a huge price to practice."

"So you think that the [-]% success is because Shen Xufeng has obtained the secret technique and is practicing it?"

"That's right. Those concubines who died strangely may also have something to do with it," Su Mo said.

Su Mo's analysis is indeed reasonable.But for some reason, Xu Ziran had a premonition in his heart that this was not the truth.

He asked again: "What do you mean by paying a huge price?"

"Not necessarily. It may be that life is short, it may be that you cannot be reincarnated after death, there are many possibilities."

"Shen Xufeng has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never practiced before, which shows that his ambition is not here. Isn't it a strange thing to suddenly start practicing this kind of exercise?"

Su Mo pondered: "Other possibilities can only be made after obtaining more information."

Xu Ziran nodded.

"My idea is to go to the middle courtyard."

Su Mo was thoughtful, as if he understood what he meant.

Xu Ziran said: "Every courtyard in Yunxu Villa not only has a similar name to Jiugong, but also has the same geographical location. The Zhonggong is the foundation of Jiugong, so this Zhongyuan may have some differences."

As for how he knew the details of the Nine Palaces, it was naturally on Jeju Island, and while Su Mo was investigating around, he looked it up in the system.

"Okay, then let's go to the middle court to check."
