Volume 1: Rebirth of Luoxia Chapter 50: Ye Tian Was Arrested
The two of them got close to each other, and Su Ruxue was also surprised and said: "It's really a Xuanming Stone!"
Lin Dongjiu recalled the layer of light that shrouded the corpse, and immediately understood that it was the essence emanating from the Xuanming Stone.
Xuanming Stone has the magical effect of protecting the corpse from decay, so the old man probably used it to prevent the corpse from decaying.
This small piece of Xuanming Stone is a treasure worth thousands of gold on the outside. Unexpectedly, the old man used a whole large piece to cushion it under the coffin, and his handiwork was astonishing.
Lin Dongjiu looked at the big blue stone slab that already had cracks and was covered with black spots. He couldn't help but said with toothache:
"It's just a pity. This Xuanming Stone should have nourished the corpse for decades. The energy contained in the stone is almost exhausted. Even if it is taken out, it is not worth a few dollars."
Su Ruxue said: "Then why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you sit on the Xuanming Stone and practice. Such a large piece of Xuanming Stone still has some energy left, so it can't be wasted."
"you're right!"
The two immediately sat on the stone slab and started practicing. Lin Dongjiu reminded her:
"The noise in my practice is a bit loud, please bear with me, Miss."
"baffling..."
Su Ruxue shook her head and entered a state of cultivation.
After a while, the stone slab began to vibrate crazily.
In Su Ruxue's shocked and frightened eyes, the remaining brilliance from the Xuanming Stone poured out, gathering in layers, like a silver spring flowing backwards, a star river waterfall, or like moonlight falling and clouds and mist lingering.
In the colorful haze, the brilliance of the column drowned the two figures leaning against each other.
...
When the rooster crowed at dawn the next day, Lin Dongjiu stretched out contentedly. He felt full of energy, and the spiritual energy in his body was like a rushing river, thick and full.
After looking inside, I found that my cultivation had already reached the eighth level of Qi training, and there was still some Qi left in my Dantian. It might not be a problem to break through to the ninth level of Qi training given a little more time.
Su Ruxue, on the other hand, had two dark circles under her eyes and looked like she didn't get enough sleep, but she still couldn't hide her radiant face and rosy complexion. She must have received great benefits last night.
The Xuanming Stone under their feet had long been turned into powder. The energy contained in the huge stone slab was enough for ordinary monks to practice for half a year. Unexpectedly, it was completely consumed by Lin Dongjiu in just one night.
Su Ruxue said angrily: "Xiao Lin, you were so cruel last night, you made me unable to practice properly!"
Although she complained, her cultivation level had broken through from the fourth level to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, and she was still pleasantly surprised.
And she knew that this was all Lin Dongjiu's credit, because she found that practicing beside Lin Dongjiu actually felt like getting twice the result with half the effort.
The energy conversion efficiency of absorbing spiritual objects is very low, but last night the energy in the Xuanming Stone burst out and rushed towards Lin Dongjiu. She only absorbed some of the energy that Lin Dongjiu missed, and the energy she absorbed into her body was more than what she had practiced for three months.
More.
Su Ruxue guessed that Lin Dongjiu might have a special physique, but she didn't ask about the specific reason. She just felt that the man in front of her was becoming more and more mysterious, which made her involuntarily curious and wanted to get closer.
Lin Dongjiu smiled and said: "I have already told you that my practice is making too much noise, so I want you to be more patient.
Also, it’s better not to tell others about what happened last night. Being asked questions is very troublesome, and I’m afraid of trouble the most.”
"Know it..."
Su Ruxue gave him a white look and said: "Oh, it's already dawn. Let's go back quickly. If the master finds out that we are not stationed here, he should be worried."
"good!"
Lin Dongjiu responded and filled up the place again. After checking that no traces were left, he and Su Ruxue rushed back to the imperial city.
Elder Fang Lei was not at the residence when they returned. After they had breakfast, Fang Lei arrived belatedly, and the murderous incident last night seemed to have calmed down in the cradle.
If something went wrong, it was that Fang Lei seemed to have noticed the change in their cultivation, and the look he looked at them became surprised and weird, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Lin Dongjiu was taken to the so-called alchemy exchange meeting by Fang Lei. Lin Dongjiu, who was mainly talking at the meeting, did not listen carefully. He only knew that in a few months, the imperial city would hold an alchemy competition held every six years.
People from Danmeng came and so on.
Then several alchemists who claimed to be masters of alchemy came to the stage to give speeches one after another. Lin Dongjiu fell asleep after hearing this, and finally ended this rather boring alchemist exchange meeting at noon.
On the way back, Lin Dongjiu said that he wanted to prepare some alchemy materials and asked Fang Lei to throw them for him in Blackwater City.
Unexpectedly, he left Su Ruxue in Blackwater City with him, and then flew away.
Su Ruxue seemed to feel that something was wrong with Fang Lei, especially the way he looked at them, but she couldn't see the specific reason, so she simply complained:
"Master, really, why are you leaving me here? I don't want to buy alchemy materials."
Lin Dongjiu did not speak, but stood at the gate of the city without saying a word, with terrifyingly cold eyes.
It was past noon, and logically Ye Tian should have been waiting for him at the city gate, but he didn't even see Ye Tian's shadow, and he felt increasingly uneasy.
Su Ruxue was thoughtful. Seeing Lin Dongjiu's gloomy expression, she couldn't help but ask:
"Hey, Xiaolin, what are you thinking about? If something happens, maybe... I can help you!"
Lin Dongjiu smiled and told Su Ruxue not to worry.
The afternoon passed in a blink of an eye. Lin Dongjiu kept waiting, but his face became increasingly gloomy.
Su Ruxue suppressed her playful temper and found a place to rest. She drew circles on the ground out of boredom and just waited stupidly with Lin Dongjiu.
After spending a few days together, Su Ruxue got to know something about Lin Dongjiu's temperament. If there was something he didn't want to talk about, even asking would be in vain.
But Su Ruxue was still a little worried, but when she opened her mouth, she only spit out two words: "Xiao Lin..."
Lin Dongjiu seemed to be awakened by her voice. He raised his head and glanced at Tianshi, sighed heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
The two entered Blackwater City and walked on the streets. Lin Dongjiu completely let go of his consciousness. Whenever he encountered an inn, he would stop for half a moment and scan every room.
Last night, the coverage of his consciousness increased to nearly a thousand feet. In just one cup of tea, Lin Dongjiu had searched nearly a third of Heishui City, but he still could not find Ye Tian.
Suddenly, Lin Dongjiu's expression condensed, he clenched his two fists fiercely, and ran forward angrily.
He found Ye Tian, and his situation was very dangerous.
It was a dark dungeon. Ye Tian was hung in the cell, his head lowered, moaning feebly, and he was already on the verge of death.
His body was covered with wounds of various sizes, and the cell was filled with instruments of torture. It seemed that he had been tortured and suffered a lot.
Su Ruxue didn't know why, so she had to follow Lin Dongjiu's footsteps.
When Lin Dongjiu stopped, in front of Su Ruxue was a dark door, and there was a plaque on the door with the four characters "Luoxia Resident" written on it.
"The Luoxia Sect's residence in Blackwater City..."
Su Ruxue was startled, her eyes flickered slightly, and her face turned a little pale.
Lin Dongjiu was very angry. It seemed that his guess was good. Ye Tian had an accident.
And he was imprisoned in the dungeon. Apart from Duan Han's instructions, which disciple would dare to be so bold.
Lin Dongjiu wanted to kick the door open, but was suddenly caught. When he turned around, he saw Su Ruxue holding him back.
Lin Dongjiu noticed that her expression was a little strange, so he had to suppress his anger and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Su Ruxue lowered her head and muttered: "No...the investigation team is stationed here...I don't want to go..."
"Investigation team?"
Lin Dongjiu frowned and said, "You mean the investigation team responsible for finding out the cause of death of the more than ten disciples of the sect?"
She did not answer, but looked up at Lin Dongjiu, pulling him back little by little, with even a hint of pleading in her tone:
"Xiao Lin, let's go back to the sect to make alchemy. Don't go to the garrison. Let's go back quickly!"
Although Lin Dongjiu was puzzled, saving people was more important, so he only said:
"Miss, you don't know. It's not that I don't want to go back, but that my friend was arrested and locked up in the dungeon of Luoxia's residence. If you don't want to accompany me, you can go back to the sect first and wait for me. They won't
How dare you do anything to me."
"What!?"
Su Ruxue did not wonder why Lin Dongjiu knew that his friend was being held here, but said in surprise:
"This is unreasonable! Which disciple of the Luoxia Sect dares to imprison people privately, and who gives them the right?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Dongjiu said: "It's... Duan Han!"
"Duan Han..."
Su Ruxue murmured, and unspeakable hatred suddenly appeared in her cold eyes: "It's him again...!"
She suddenly sneered and said angrily: "Haha... That's right, if it's not that bastard, who else dares to be so unscrupulous!"
Lin Dongjiu was also surprised when he saw her reaction. He suddenly understood why Su Ruxue was unwilling to go in. It was not because he hated the investigation team, but because he didn't want to see Duan Han.
He had no idea that the relationship between Su Ruxue and Duan Han was so bad. It was no exaggeration to see how deeply she hated Duan Han.
He didn't know what happened between them...
Su Ruxue asked: "Why did Duan Han arrest your friend? I heard about the grudge between you and Duan Han in the Punishment Hall. Is it possible that he arrested your friend to take revenge for this?"
Lin Dongjiu's eyes flashed and he said: "Probably..."
Su Ruxue said in a panic:
"No! This is his territory, and it's all his people. Xiaolin, let's... don't go in rashly, I'll find the master!"
Lin Dongjiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, Duan Han is not inside, and the remaining group of miscellaneous fish are no match for me."
Su Ruxue nodded and said, "Then...then I'll go in with you and I order them to let your friend go. They dare not disobey."
