Chapter 452 Chance Encounter
Although Gu Shiyi had suffered a lot before, her real dragon body was getting stronger and stronger. And since the blood-red scales appeared, she suddenly felt that the demonic power in her body had increased a lot. Pu Yanlan said to her,
"You had the Xuanling True Body earlier. It was probably stimulated by the evil spirit in the forbidden area at that time, and it automatically came out to protect you. If there is one, there will be two. Try to see if you can make it appear on your own. If you encounter a situation like the one in the forbidden area again in the future, with the Xuanling True Body, you will have a greater chance of saving your life!"

You know, if it weren't for the fine scales on Eleven's body that blocked most of the impact, she wouldn't have only broken bones and her internal organs wouldn't have been injured at all!
Gu Shiyi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Although the scales all over the body are not good-looking, they are practical. At least they can withstand blows. This is a natural feature. If you want them to come out, they will come out. If you don't want them to come out, they won't come out. It won't interfere with anything else!"

So Gu Shiyi began to meditate every day, thinking back to the situation at that time. Unfortunately, she was stimulated in the forbidden area at that time, and she grew up at the critical moment of life and death. She sat for a long time, and she had used all her strength. Except for the desire to hum, she didn't feel anything else. So she thought for a long time and finally came up with an idea.
"Yan'er, I think without the stimulation of demonic energy, Xuanling's true body will probably not be able to come out. Don't you have so many demon corpses? Why don't you lock me up with those demon corpses and give it a try?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
“That’s possible!”

But if the demon corpse is released, it will be terrible. If the demonic energy leaks out, I am afraid that even the people in Yongcheng will suffer.
"We have to find a place!"

The secret realm is definitely not an option, the spiritual energy there cannot be polluted by evil spirits!
Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"Anyway, we don't need a very big place. I think the wine cellar in this manor is good. Why not set up a ban there to seal the evil spirit from leaking out!"

The two discussed it and felt that it was feasible. To be on the safe side, they planned to go to the market in Yongcheng to buy some magical tools for setting up the formation to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

The next day, the two entered the city. When they arrived at the market, they saw that there were few monks walking on the street, and the business of the shops seemed very quiet. The two were a little surprised, so they went into the shop and asked the shopkeeper.

“Why are there so few people on the streets?”

The shopkeeper was also in charge of Guanshan Tower. Hearing this, he did not hesitate to respond.

"To let you two fellows know, the strange beasts in the mansion of our sixteenth floor Master Duan have escaped. We have captured 70% to 80% of them, but there are still 20% to 30% wandering outside. Two of them were originally prepared for Master Wei on the 108th floor. Now all the elites in the building are out to search for those two strange beasts. All the monks from outside the city are being strictly checked, and many have been arrested and tortured!"

Capturing people and interrogating them, this kind of thing...can you say it in front of these foreign monks?

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other. The shopkeeper seemed to have seen through their thoughts and smiled.
"I'm not afraid to let you two know that we in Guanshan Tower always act like this. As long as people don't provoke us, we will be at peace. But if people provoke us, it will be a fight to the death!"

The two of them were somewhat intimidated by Guanshanlou's tyranny when they heard this, and they thought of Liu Zhuer again, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Why was this woman so polite to us earlier?"

What they didn't know was that Liu Zhuer was polite to them because she found Wan Changyou afterwards. Although Wan Changyou didn't dare to disturb his two saviors, the servants in the manor reported the news from time to time.

Wan Changyou also owns a business under the management of Guanshan Tower. When Liu Zhuer asked, he dared not hide and reported the origins of the two people one by one. He also explained that in the two days before and after the accident, no strange beasts or cultivators entered the house, and only one servant left. Only then did Liu Zhuer start to doubt the two people.

As for those foreign monks who were arrested and tortured in prison, they were either dishonest or had something bad on their bodies!
Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan bought a magic weapon for setting up an array in a shop, and then went to another shop to find some ancient books about Yinling Wood. As soon as they entered the shop, they met the shopkeeper who was sending customers out. When they met, it turned out to be Liu Zhuer. Liu Zhuer was a little surprised to see the two of them.

"What are you two going to buy?"

Pu Yanlan did not respond. Gu Shiyi stepped forward and saluted, smiling and saying,

"So it's you, Mr. Daoist Liu. We two want to find some ancient books..."

"Ancient books..."

Liu Zhuzi smiled slightly and said,

"If you two want to read ancient books, then you have really met the right person. Although I am not talented, I have read some ancient secret books from various sects. I wonder which one you two are looking for?"

This fellow Daoist Liu is really enthusiastic!
Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other, thought for a while and said,

"I want to find out about the Yinling Wood..."

"Yin Ling Wood?"

Liu Zhuer thought for a moment and said,
"There are actually a few books about Yinling Wood in this shop. Come with me!"

He then led the two of them upstairs again, smiling as he walked,
"Most of the properties in this market belong to Guanshan Tower. However, if you are not a member of the sect, you can only walk around on the first floor and cannot go to the second floor. You have met me today!"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"That's really all thanks to Brother Liu!"

The two followed Liu Zhuer up to the second floor. There was a corridor on the second floor with closed doors on both sides. Liu Zhuer led them into one of the rooms with ease. There were all kinds of books on the four walls. Liu Zhuer went forward and just looked around, then took out three books from the shelf.

“These are the three books!”

The two took it and thanked him repeatedly. Liu Zhuer said,

"Although I can bring you into the second floor, you cannot take the books away. You can only read them here..."

Gu Shiyi thanked him.

"It is very rare to be able to borrow it, and I have to thank you, Mr. Liu!"

Pu Yanlan sat down to read a book, while Gu Shiyi chatted with Liu Zhuer. The shopkeeper even sent a waiter to serve tea. Liu Zhuer asked,
"To be honest, after I returned to the city, I asked Wan Changyou about your background. You two helped Wan Changyou out at sea and saved him. After he returned to the city safely, you also issued warnings to various businesses, which saved my Yongcheng business a lot of losses. You two are really kind!"

After saying that, he clasped his fists. Gu Shiyi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are too polite. This is just a coincidence for us sisters to meet!"

Liu Zhuer smiled slightly and said,

"Everyone will encounter something that happens to them, but it's rare to find someone willing to help!"

After all, most cultivators are extremely selfish, and they would look for rewards before saving their fellow practitioners, let alone mortals!
Liu Zhuer asked again,

"After learning about you two Taoist friends, I also thought about visiting you two Taoist friends again. I didn't expect to meet you here this time. I have something to ask you, so please tell me the truth..."

coming!

Gu Shiyi thought,

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"

He said with a smile on his face,

"I wonder what you want to ask?"

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, do you know where the evil energy on the sea surface comes from?"

"Oh... Daoist friend, you are asking about this..."

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and replied,
"Speaking of this, we sisters actually know something..."

In this situation, never say you don't know. Saying you don't know will make people more suspicious!
Gu Shi said,
"We sisters were originally traveling around, and this time we happened to be traveling near the Demon Eye Sea. We saw a strange phenomenon that day, a tornado that connected the sky and the earth appeared. At that time, we sisters thought it was just an accidental phenomenon and just wanted to avoid it... But we didn't expect... We didn't expect to see that the eye of the tornado was actually constantly releasing purple-black demonic energy. Seeing this, we sisters quickly flew away..."

Gu Shiyi's words were half true and half false.

"...The demonic energy is very dense, as if it is pouring out from another dimension..."

Liu Zhuer listened carefully and asked again,

"Where is the center of the evil energy? Do you two remember it?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and shook his head.

"There is no center. The tornado is sweeping across the sea, and in a blink of an eye it has spread over a hundred miles..."

"Oh……"

Liu Zhuer was a little disappointed, and asked again and again carefully. The two of them saw the situation of the evil spirit, and Gu Shiyi repeated it several times without blinking, and it was exactly the same. Liu Zhuer finally believed it. At this time, Pu Yanlan had finished reading the ancient books. After thanking Liu Zhuer again, the two of them got up and left.

Liu Zhuer watched the two of them leave, and the shopkeeper came up and asked,

"Sir, what's wrong with these two people?"

Liu Zhuer shook her head slowly.
"I don't know why. Although I didn't feel anything wrong, I felt that these two people were a little..."

She couldn't say what it was, and the shopkeeper didn't know how to respond to her. Fortunately, Liu Zhuer didn't need him to respond. After thinking for a while, she ordered,
"Go next door and ask what they bought?"

Not long after, the shopkeeper next door replied,

"The first two customers bought some small formation flags and magic tools that can conceal auras..."

"Hide your breath?"

Liu Zhuer raised her eyebrows, and left the shop without asking any more questions.

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan left Yongcheng and returned to the manor in a flash. The two returned to the backyard and sat down. Gu Shiyi asked,

"Yan'er, is what's recorded in the ancient books useful?"

Pu Yanlan looked a little strange and said,

"It is useful, but it requires more than just Yin Ling Wood, there are many other things..."

Pu Yanlan memorized the records in the ancient books, took out a pen and paper and began to write down a list. Gu Shiyi took it and frowned after reading it.
“You need so many things?”

Pu Yanlan nodded with a strange look on her face.

"There are indeed quite a lot. We are seeing many of the names of these things for the first time. They may not be particularly valuable, but they are probably not easy to find!"

Gu Shiyi also sighed after seeing this.

"There's nothing we can do. It's already like this. If we don't save the pretty boy, he'll die. He's still from our hometown after all. We can't just stand by and watch him die!"
