Chapter 49

"Uncle Tian, Xiao Chen, and I will go back to school first; you can continue with your work!"

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, Uncle Tian. Xiao Chen and I are practitioners now, so we'll be fine!"

Yu Tianqi smiled and waved goodbye to Su Chen and the others, then returned to the shop and closed the glass door, temporarily closing the shop.

"Uncle Tian, after all these years, have you found the lair of those guys?"

Yu Tianqi sat opposite Bailing, silently took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, lit it, and started smoking.

"If those guys were so easy to find, I wouldn't have to stay here for ten years."

"But you should have found out a lot of things, right?"

Yu Tianqi did not answer immediately but remained silent for a long time.

After all, he had already guessed the reason why Bailing was looking for him.

After a moment of silence, Yu Tianqi took out a list from his arms and placed it in front of Bailing.

Bailing took the list and looked at it carefully.

There are many people on this list, from the upper class in Jiangnan city to the common people on the streets.

The scope is so wide that it covers almost every aspect of Jiangnan City.

Bai Ling looked at the people on the list, and suddenly her pupils shrank. She asked, "Are you... sure it's them?"

"Not sure, but there must be something unclean among them."

"Understood."

After Bailing wrote down all the people on the list, she put the list away.

Then she took out a box and handed it to Yu Tianqi, saying, "Uncle Tian, this is something that the boss specifically asked me to bring to you before I came to Jiangnan City this time."

"He also asked me to bring you a message..."

"A monster is destined to be unable to stay with ordinary people, no matter how hard he tries to pretend to be an ordinary person."

After saying that, Bailing politely put away the dishes and chopsticks neatly, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as Bailing was about to walk out of the store, Yu Tianqi suddenly spoke.

"The Five Spirits Blood Pill Technique is a crooked and evil technique used by the Black Lotus Cult to bewitch ordinary people. If you pay attention to those who were previously mediocre but suddenly improved their aptitude or increased their cultivation in a short period, then it is very likely that they used the Blood Pill Technique."

"I know this, and I know how to deal with it."

"Then you should also know that they won't admit it easily, and other people may not understand you either."

"After all, without solid evidence, you can't be sure that he used the Blood Pill Technique."

Bailing looked at Yu Tianqi and changed the subject.

"Uncle Tian, you don't have anything else to tell me?"

Hearing this, Yu Tianqi took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and then put it out with his bare hands without using an ashtray.

He stood up, and his tall figure became narrow and long under the dim light in the shop.

At this moment, the tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks in the store began to shake violently, as if they were affected by something.

He looked at Bailing, and his expression became more serious than ever.

"If, I mean if..."

"If Xiao Chen used the blood pill technique... then please hand him over to me."

"good."

After saying that, Bailing pushed open the glass door of the shop and walked in the direction where Su Chen and Lu Xiaoye left.

Yu Tianqi looked at Bailing's departure back and silently opened the box she had sent him.

Placed in the box was a broken black iron rod.

And in the center of the stick, there were two big blood-red characters... Qitian.

The characteristics of people who use the Five Spirit Blood Pill Technique are that their cultivation or aptitude, which was originally mediocre, increases dramatically in a short period.

And these two points... Su Chen currently meets all of them!

Therefore, his name and information undoubtedly appeared on the list that Yu Tianqi handed to Bailing.

That's right, at this time Su Chen has become one of Bailing's targets of investigation.

And his ranking... is in the top three.

After all, except for special

Circumstances with extremely low probability.

The only method that can enable an ordinary person with low-grade spiritual roots to reach the level of a genius in just one or two months is the Black Lotus Sect's Five Spirit Blood Pill Technique.

Therefore, even though he had a good relationship with Su Chen, Yu Tianqi, who noticed these things, chose to give up his selfishness and put him on the list of suspects.

After Bailing left, Yu Tianqi silently looked at the broken stick in the box for a long time before closing the box again.

"Xiao Chen, please don't let Uncle Tian down..."

Jiangnan city, East Side, bus stop.

"Xiao Chen, you've barely passed the test for this dinner, but if there's a next time, I..."

Lu Xiaoye turned around and wanted to say something to Su Chen, but found that Su Chen, who had been standing beside her, was gone.

"Xiao Chen???"

Lu Xiaoye looked around and found that there was no trace of Su Chen among the people coming and going at the bus station.

She had come here with Su Chen to wait for the bus back to school.

But in just a moment of turning her head, Su Chen, a living person, disappeared out of thin air beside her.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.

Lu Xiaoye looked around anxiously, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness began to rise in her heart.

After searching in vain, Lu Xiaoye immediately took out her cell phone and tried to contact the missing Su Chen.

But the busy tone coming from the phone further exacerbated her anxiety.

It seems...something happened.

At the same time, Su Chen, who was waiting for the bus at the platform, suddenly noticed the changes in the surrounding environment.

Quiet, eerily quiet.

Although he was in a busy urban area, he could not hear any sound around him.

What's even more strange is that he was only stunned for a moment.

Apart from him, there was no one else on the originally bustling platform.

It was as if he was abandoned by the whole world at this moment.

"Su Chen is a student in the Human Dao class of Jiangnan City No. 1 High School. He has low-grade mixed spiritual roots and is at the fourth level of the Qi gathering stage."

"But the strange thing is that your situation is different from what I saw in the information."

"Can you explain to me why you were able to raise your spiritual roots to the highest level in just one summer vacation?"

Su Chen turned his head suddenly and saw a five-meter-tall, three-headed strange bird appear from the empty road and slowly walk towards him.

And the voice asking questions came from beside the strange bird.

Looking at the white-haired girl standing next to the strange bird, Su Chen felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

This feeling is even heavier than the one Ye Chenglin had in the ancient tomb.

It made Su Chen feel like he couldn't breathe.

"Is this the true strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

"Or is she... not an ordinary foundation-building stage?"

Su Chen looked at Bai Ling, whom he had met once before, standing next to the strange bird. He silently took out the magic sword from the storage bag and took a vigilant posture.

However, his refusal to respond made Bailing's eyes even colder.

"You're not going to answer my question?"

"It doesn't matter. I'll find the answer in my way."

"Go ahead, Xiao Shang; catch him for me."

"Ming!"

Upon hearing Bai Ling's order, the three-headed monster bird roared and rushed towards Su Chen with the force of a mountain.

Wherever he went, the ground cracked and rocks flew!

[Strange beasts of mountains and seas: Shangfu bird]

[The "Classic of Mountains and Seas—Nanshan Yijing" records: There is a bird, which looks like a chicken but has three heads, six eyes, six legs, and three wings. Its name is Shangfu. If you eat it, you will not be able to sleep.]

[Features: infinite strength, immortal]
