The soldiers did not take off their armor without stopping. After the exchange between the two was completed, the next monk immediately took out his treasure and stated the requirements for the exchange.

Liu Yu's seat was relatively far back, and the completion of his transaction meant that the exchange meeting had come to an end.

After all, the subsequent transactions were mediocre and nothing eye-catching. They were far inferior to the auxiliary pill-forming spiritual objects and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

Since there was nothing of interest, Liu Yu did not make any further moves and watched the whole process quietly until the exchange meeting ended.

"Thank you all fellow Taoists for coming all the way to participate in the exchange meeting organized by our Wu family."

"This exchange meeting is over now. Fellow Taoists who have not exchanged the spiritual objects they want don't have to worry. You can still come and have a look next time."

"The exchange meeting is usually held once every three to five years. It is designed to allow fellow Taoists to exchange knowledge. Interested fellow Taoists can leave transmission notes. When the exchange meeting starts, we can notify you in time."

Wu Weiguang smiled and held his hands in all directions, saying with a smile on his face.

The more monks who come to participate in the exchange meeting, the more the Wu family will earn, and if any good treasures appear in the exchange meeting, with the family's heritage, the competitiveness will definitely be better than that of a single foundation-building monk.

Furthermore, mastering this channel is itself an intangible resource.

"Definitely, definitely, I will definitely come to support you when the time comes."

The people in the sedan chair were carrying people, and some monks responded politely.

But more often than not, the attitude is indifferent and silent. Some monks will never come again after attending an exchange meeting.

"Okay, that's it, Wu announced that this trade fair has officially ended."

"For privacy reasons, all fellow Taoists are kindly asked to be divided into three groups and leave separately according to their seating arrangements, with one group leaving every half cup of tea."

"Underground of this inn, there are eight exits leading to various places in the city. Fellow Taoists, you can leave on your own."

Wu Weiguang announced.

"not good."

After hearing this, Liu Yu secretly felt bad.

According to the order of seating, he belonged to the third group to leave, while the monk named Zhou who had obtained the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill belonged to the first group to leave, so it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to track them.

Moreover, many of the tracking methods in "Essentials of Demonic Cultivation" cannot be used in full view of the public.

After all, there were many experienced foundation-building monks present, and he felt that he still couldn't do it perfectly. If he wasn't careful, the clues might be seen, and something might happen.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Liu Yu finally made up his mind.

According to the method recorded in the Mystical Method of Preserving God, the invisible spiritual consciousness began to move covertly, silently rushing toward the monk named Zhou, forming a secret, invisible mark somewhere on his calf.

This mark is within a range of four hundred miles, and Liu Yu can sense it through the secret technique of storing the records in the magical method, so as to track the target.

With his current range of consciousness, which is close to six miles, it is not much worse than that of the monks in the later stage of foundation establishment. He mainly relies on the magical method of preserving the divine magic. This "little move" was not noticed by many monks present.

As the mark was completed, Liu Yu slowly withdrew his consciousness. Seeing that none of the monks in the field showed any abnormality, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"squeak"

Not long after Wu Weiguang finished speaking, the closed door suddenly opened and made a noise.

Including the monk surnamed Zhou, a dozen foundation-building monks in the front row stood up and walked downstairs.

The remaining monks did not make any changes. After all, this was indeed conducive to hiding their information, and several foundation-building monks from the Wu family were watching outside the door.

Not everyone wants to be the first person and become the target of killing chickens to scare monkeys.

Liu Yu, Qiu Zongxing, the female cultivator in yellow skirt and other remaining foundation-building monks waited quietly. There was no conversation during the period, and they all maintained a certain degree of vigilance among themselves.

It was only after half a cup of tea that the second group of monks, including the female monk in yellow skirt, stood up and left.

The seats next to the round table suddenly became more than half empty, making it seem a bit empty. Only a dozen Foundation-Building monks were left sitting quietly.

Whenever there was a moment of calm during major events, even though he had decided to intercept and kill the monk named Zhou, Liu Yu still sat leisurely, feeling extremely calm.

In the time it takes to make a cup of tea, you can't run very far at the normal escape speed in the middle stage of foundation building. You can escape within a range of dozens of miles at most.

As long as it does not exceed the range of the secret induction, you can use the Fengdengzhou to pursue you, and everything will be sure.

"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have some important matters to take care of, so I won't leave with you later."

Liu Yu’s divine consciousness transmitted the message.

Qiu Zongxing's bringing him here was a transaction in itself. Since the transaction had been completed and the two of them had no friendship, there was no need to leave together.

"Okay, since Fellow Daoist Hong has important matters to deal with, let's part ways."

"Fellow Daoist Hong, see you later."

"If there are foundation-building elixirs, be sure to consider Jiapinju first. We will definitely give you a purchase price higher than the market price."

Qiu Zongxing replied, turning his head and nodding with a smile.

Knowing that Liu Yu was an alchemist who could refine foundation-building elixirs, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and his desire to be friends with him was stronger than ever.

There are not many alchemists who can refine foundation-building elixirs. If you can make good friends with this "Fellow Daoist Hong" and purchase foundation-building elixirs from him for a long time, why worry about Jiapinju's business not being booming?

At this moment, Qiu Zongxing regretted very much because he led the way to introduce the two hundred spiritual stones he had accepted.

If a quarrel arises because of this, wouldn’t it be a small gain at a loss?

"Next time, I'll definitely do it next time. See you soon, fellow Taoist Qiu."

The half-tea time passed quickly, and the remaining monks began to leave one after another. Liu Yu stood up, cupped his hands slightly, and said through his spiritual consciousness.

After saying that, the two of them went down the stairs together, said goodbye again as if they were old friends for many years, and then walked towards different exits.

Just like the underground auction Liu Yu participated in during his Qi refining period, eight regular square openings had appeared on the first floor of the inn, revealing eight passages leading to unknown directions.

The passage is not completely dark, but has dim lights.

Liu Yu witnessed Qiu Zongxing walking into a cave entrance, and then without hesitation, he chose one of the cave entrances and walked down the stairs.

After entering, he pinched the spell in his hand and blessed himself with the wind control technique.

Suddenly, the speed surged, and in the blink of an eye, the distance was five to six feet, and in the eyes of mortals, it was almost an afterimage.

With keen spiritual awareness, after running about ten miles, a small door appeared in front of me.

There were no monks guarding the place, and there was no formation mechanism. When I glanced through the small door with my spiritual consciousness, I found that there was nothing unusual.

Liu Yu opened the small door and appeared in a small private house with ordinary furnishings and a small area.

Without any hesitation, he immediately used the secret tracking technique in the Cun Shen Myofa, quickly held the complex spell in his hand, and sensed the location of the mark.

There was no joy or sadness on Liu Yu's face, but suddenly her expression changed, revealing a hint of a smile.

Through secret sensing, it was sensed that the monk surnamed Zhou had not left Wangyue City and was still moving slowly.

It looked like he was shopping in the city, strolling around, or visiting friends.

"That's good, it saves me a lot of tracking time."

Liu Yu smiled coldly, then stretched out his hand to close the small door.

On the surface, there is not much difference between the area where the small door is located and the ground, and there are no major flaws.

If you didn't check carefully, you wouldn't have guessed that there was a hidden passage hidden underneath. It seems that the Wu family has been in business for a long time.

Liu Yu thought silently, opened the door and walked out, appearing in the busier area in the west of the city, far away from the "loose cultivation area" with many tents.

After going out, he kept walking towards the center of Wangyue City. He opened a private room in a shop selling spiritual food next to the City Lord's Mansion, ordered some spiritual food and a pot of spiritual wine and started drinking it.

Wangyue City has four gates, southeast, northwest and Liu Yu had no way of knowing which gate the monk surnamed Zhou would leave through after finishing his work.

But this is the center of the city, and the distance from the four city gates is almost the same. No matter which city gate it leaves from, the pursuit distance is the same.

The monk's spiritual sense is extremely sharp, and Liu Yu is currently unable to perfectly control his murderous intention. If he is followed at close range, he may be detected, making him wary, thus ruining his good deeds.

For various reasons, he finally chose to use secret techniques to stay ahead of his position. When the monk surnamed Zhou left Wangyue City, he quickly pursued him and killed him with thunderous means without giving him a chance to react.

In this way, two hours passed. Liu Yu used a secret technique to sense the position of the mark every half an hour, but they were all in motion, and the position had changed slightly from the last time.

At that time, the movement could not be too big in public, so I only set the simplest mark. If the secret technique was used too frequently, it might be sensed, so it was most appropriate to use it once every half an hour.

Unconsciously, only the leftovers of the spiritual food were left, and not a drop of the spiritual wine was left. Liu Yu made secret gestures with her hands and once again used her secret technique to sense the position of the monk surnamed Zhou.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's face darkened and became a little ugly.

Because the secret technique was used this time, the position of the monk surnamed Zhou was not sensed.

There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that the distance is too far and beyond the range of mystical induction. The other is that the mark is discovered and has been destroyed, so it cannot be detected naturally.

Liu Yu was leaning towards the second possibility.

Because the current induction range of the secret technique is about four hundred miles in radius, with the escape speed of the monks in the middle stage of foundation establishment, even if there is a magic weapon specially used for flight escape, it will be difficult to achieve this.

He asked himself that even if he used the escape boat, he would not be able to do it. In half an hour, he would be able to escape beyond the induction range of the secret technique. This possibility was extremely small.

Instead, the mark is discovered and is more likely to be destroyed.

Due to the circumstances at the time, the mark of spiritual consciousness was only left on the clothing somewhere on the calf of the monk surnamed Zhou. Although it was relatively secretive, the possibility of being discovered after careful inspection was not small.

And such a simple mark is very easy to destroy. A fireball spell will turn the clothes into ashes.

"I didn't expect that the first time I took the initiative, I missed it."

Liu Yu shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly. He paid and left the store. After walking around to make sure no one was following him, he walked towards the cave in the south of the city.
