Chapter 156: Traces

After all, Lion City is the most prosperous place in the entire Nanyang. Although it is not as abundant as Yujing, it is also rich in materials. Qi Xuansu is now the chief deputy palace lord and can use the manpower and material resources of the Daofu, so he will not be as embarrassed as before.

The ordinary low-grade "Returning Soul Incense" looks like a stick of incense, and it costs one Wuyou money, which is ten Taiping money.

If Lin Yuanmiao wants to completely control the immortal body, he needs 10,000 such incense sticks.

Ten Taiping money for one incense stick, 10,000 sticks are needed, which is 100,000 Taiping money.

At the beginning, Qi Xuansu gave 1,000 sticks, and later Zhang Yuelu gave another 5,000 sticks.

Qi Xuansu's idea is also very simple. Simply make up the remaining 4,000 "Returning Soul Incense" completely, so that Lin Yuanmiao can completely control Lin Lingsu's remains, and then use some other means, and then rely on Lin Yuanmiao's immortal body to heal himself.

This is like ordinary people getting sick. In many cases, medicine can only relieve symptoms, and recovery still depends on the body's self-healing ability.

Xie Jiaofeng counted the relevant inventory of Tianfu Palace, including the top-grade "Soul-Returning Incense" and the middle-grade "Soul-Returning Incense", and converted it into the low-grade "Soul-Returning Incense", there were about 1,600 pieces. Qi Xuansu's explanation was not very clear at the beginning. After knowing the inventory of Tianfu Palace, he clearly stated that in order to fill the remaining 2,400 gaps, Xie Jiaofeng needed to come forward to borrow.

Xie Jiaofeng has been in Lion City for many years, and he is really kind to others. He still has connections. It was borrowed in the name of the Taoist Mansion, so it was not difficult to gather 2,400 "Soul-Returning Incense".

Soon, the people of Huasheng Hall also arrived.

If it was the main hall of Huasheng Hall in Yujing, it would naturally be able to cure Lin Yuanmiao, but it was only the Borneo branch. Qi Xuansu did not dare to expect them to help Lin Yuanmiao dissolve the immortal sword energy in his body. He only asked the Huasheng Hall branch to do its best to help Lin Yuanmiao relieve his injuries, strengthen Lin Yuanmiao's vitality, and play some auxiliary roles, which can also be understood as delaying some time.

The people from Huasheng Hall first transferred Lin Yuanmiao to a sufficiently closed quiet room, and then used various instruments on Lin Yuanmiao.

For example, a pot-shaped object, after putting the pill in, can be crushed and then turned into mist, which is convenient for some patients and wounded who cannot swallow the pill, and the mist can penetrate into the body through the skin. There are also some things borrowed from Westerners, bottles, jars, and various thin tubes. Qi Xuansu didn't understand them very well, so he let the people from Huasheng Hall use them.

After Lin Yuanmiao's condition stabilized a little, Qi Xuansu ordered people to transport the "Returning Soul Incense" stored in Tianfu Palace first, ignite them all, and then seal the entire room.

Although the "Returning Soul Incense" is harmless, it will make people lose all their realm cultivation in a short time.

It must be said that the effect of the "Returning Soul Incense" is still immediate. After 1,600 "Returning Soul Incense" went down, Lin Yuanmiao, who was originally unconscious, finally woke up.

Qi Xuansu waited until the "Returning Soul Incense" had almost dissipated, then came to Lin Yuanmiao and asked, "Old Lin, how do you feel?"

Lin Yuanmiao was still lying on the bed, and smiled bitterly, "I won't die for the time being."

Xiao Yin also followed Qi Xuansu, holding the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Yuanmiao eagerly, "I thought you were going to die, I was scared to death."

Lin Yuanmiao exhaled a breath of turbid air, and looked at Xiao Yin with a bit of kindness, "I almost died."

Qi Xuansu asked, "What happened?"

Lin Yuanmiao said slowly, "I followed Zhang Cixi to Lingnan Daofu, and Zhang Cixi began his routine inspection. On the way to Dongdu Prefecture, we accidentally discovered a group of whales, and I suddenly remembered whales. It might guide the way to Tongzhen Palace, so he followed the whale into the sea and began to look for traces of Tongzhen Palace. During this process, I also kept in touch with Zhang Cixi, so I knew that Zhang Cixi came to Lion City. "

Qi Xuansu's heart moved slightly, and asked: "Have you found Tongzhen Palace?"

Lin Yuanmiao nodded: "I did find Tongzhen Palace, but I didn't expect that the Tongzhen Palace left by Lin Lingsu was occupied by others. "

Qi Xuansu hesitated: "It can't be Qian Xiangyun."

"If it's just Qian Xiangyun, then I killed her." Lin Yuanmiao said, "It's someone else. I don't recognize this person, but she is also a woman, and a female immortal. "

Qi Xuansu was shocked.

He already had a guess.

The female immortal in the Nanyang area can only be one person, Chen Shuhua.

Xu Jiaorong had told him not long ago that Zheng Jiaohe said before his death that Chen Shuhua had a hiding place unknown to others, which was transformed from an ancient immortal cave.

Then this is right. Chen Shuhua has been in Nanyang for many years. Although he does not have Lin Yuanmiao's memory, he still found the location of Tongzhen Palace. It may be a coincidence, or Chen Shuhua may have other channels to obtain other clues left by Lin Lingsu. In short, Chen Shuhua found Tongzhen Palace.

The next thing is logical. Chen Shuhua took Tongzhen Palace as his own, and his cultivation increased greatly because of it. After all, even if Chen Shuhua does not have the "Eternal Life Stone", he has the realm of pseudo-immortal cultivation. Without the support of the Jinque level, it is rare. If Chen Shuhua has obtained the inheritance of an immortal, it is very reasonable.

It turns out that Chen Shuhua is hiding here. No wonder Jiang Dazhenren searched the mountains and seas but could not find Chen Shuhua's trace.

Lin Yuanmiao saw Qi Xuansu's face change: "Do you know who that female immortal is?"

Qi Xuansu sighed: "If I am not mistaken, this person should be Chen Shuhua, the former chief deputy lord of the Borneo Daofu who defected."

Lin Yuanmiao had heard of Chen Shuhua from Zhang Yuelu, but he was not familiar with him, so he asked, "A great immortal is only the chief deputy palace master? The Dao sect is too arrogant."

Lin Yuanmiao's implication was that the Dao sect treated him unfairly, letting an immortal be the chief deputy palace master, who was not even a real person, so it was no wonder that the immortal wanted to defect.

Qi Xuansu had to roughly tell the cause and effect of the matter, how Chen Shuhua stole the dragon energy, how he colluded with the ancient immortals, how he refined the "Eternal Life Stone", and how he plotted against the law, and was alienated from the Dao sect and committed treason.

After listening to this, Lin Yuanmiao sighed: "This person is indeed talented and ambitious. Not only is his cultivation extremely high, but he is also very scheming."

Qi Xuansu said: "It's a pity that she can't see the situation clearly. If it was a chaotic world with many heroes, she might really become the master of one side. But in today's world, Jinque rules the world and has unparalleled power. Even if she becomes an immortal, she can't compete with the Taoist sect. She is still in the 49th day of transformation and has not yet achieved a true immortal body. Even if she wants to ascend to heaven and leave the world, it will be difficult. I'm afraid she will end up with nothing. You know, Sanhua The gathering of the top of the head is an illusion, and the clouds under your feet are not real. "

Lin Yuanmiao also had to admit this: "No wonder she didn't chase to the end, it turns out that she is still undergoing a transformation at this time."

In fact, the reason why Lin Yuanmiao chose to follow Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu instead of doing it alone was because of the Taoism. The current Taoism is really powerful and difficult to deal with. Even a second-tribulation immortal may not be able to compete with the entire Taoism. After all, the heart-learning saint suppressed the Taoism and led the entire Confucianism, not single-handedly conquering the Taoism, let alone ordinary immortals.

Qi Xuansu's mood at this time was a bit complicated. Chen Shuhua occupied the Tongzhen Palace, and the treasures of Lin Lingsu in it naturally fell into Chen Shuhua's pocket, and even had been used by Chen Shuhua. Qi Xuansu didn't have to think about it. But the good news is a blessing in disguise. He accidentally discovered Chen Shuhua's whereabouts. It's not a big achievement, just treat it as getting rid of a disaster. If he really let Chen Shuhua go, when Chen Shuhua recovered to his peak state, Qi Xuansu would be worried about his own safety. He didn't think Chen Shuhua would let him go easily. After all, it was he who destroyed Chen Shuhua's many years of layout, which ruined Chen Shuhua's plan. It was also he who ordered the execution of Chen Shuhua's brother Chen Shuzhen.

If Qi Xuansu was in Chen Shuhua's position, he would also kill him to relieve his hatred.

After all, Chen Shuhua is an immortal. If an immortal can't get revenge, it would be too aggrieved. Moreover, there are only thieves who do thieves for a thousand days, but there are no thieves who guard against thieves for a thousand days. Now Qi Xuansu is in the light and Chen Shuhua is in the dark, Qi Xuansu is also unable to defend himself.

So for Qi Xuansu, it is better to solve Chen Shuhua as soon as possible.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Old Lin, can you give me the location of Tongzhen Palace now?"

Old Lin nodded, raised his hand with difficulty to press his eyebrows, pulled out a little spiritual light, and flew to Qi Xuansu by himself.

Qi Xuansu did not press this little spiritual light into his brow, but put it into his sleeve, told Xiao Yin to keep Lin Yuanmiao safe, and then turned and left.

At this time, Xie Jiaofeng also came back, wiping his sweat: "Chief, I borrowed the 2,400 "Returning Soul Incense" you asked for."

Qi Xuansu said: "All are recorded in the account of the Taoist Mansion, and then handed over to Huashengtang, let them use them all, leaving no one."

Xie Jiaofeng nodded in agreement.

Qi Xuansu then said: "Get ready, I have to go to Shenglong Mansion."

Xie Jiaofeng was shocked and subconsciously said: "Didn't Sanxiu go there? Isn't it useless? Let the chief go in person? This, this is too rampant, is Nanyang still a Taoist sect?"

Qi Xuansu ignored him and said: "You go to prepare the flying boat, I have to report to Master Jiang first."

"Yes." Xie Jiaofeng responded and turned and left.

As the saying goes, delay leads to changes. Chen Shuhua did not pursue Lin Yuanmiao to the end. Of course, it was because of her poor condition, but there were also some other variables.

Maybe she would immediately abandon Tongzhen Palace and flee to other places, so it didn't matter to kill her to silence her.

Maybe she was careless because she didn't know Lin Yuanmiao's background and thought that Lin Yuanmiao was not a Taoist, so she thought she would not reveal her whereabouts.

After all, the people in the creation stage of Taoism are all big names with names, and there are not too many of them. As a former Taoist, it is not difficult for Chen Shuhua to recognize all of them. Since he didn't know them, they were not Taoists.

As for Qian Xiangyun, it is true that she recognized Lin Yuanmiao, but she didn't know that Lin Yuanmiao was cooperating with Qi Zhang. At that time, she was already on the run.

No matter which situation it is, Qi Xuansu must make it happen as soon as possible.
