I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 315 The dilapidated [Purple Cloud Valley]

See a doctor for treatment, but they won’t tell you the cause of the disease and let you figure it out on your own.

When encountering such a patient, would the famous doctors present turn around and leave? This is also the reason why Elder Dingyun is nervous.

"But how did Brother Cao figure it out?"

"It's simple, because this ice sculpture incident happened more than once."

Cao An has investigated many mysterious cases, including Daxing, Beiyan, Southern Chu, Western Territory, Holy Ship...

Almost everywhere he goes, the detective system will help him find the mystery immediately.

Only in this place, I still didn't receive any notification sound, as if I was really acclimatized, and it had no effect at all.

It wasn't until he walked around and listened to the conversations of people around him that he found the answer.

"Everyone is invited. Although the outer square is completely open for free entry and exit, the inner gate is impassable.

They are here for consultation, but you don’t answer my questions, and you don’t tell me the cause of the disease even though you know it. You let them make their own guesses. Isn’t this just playing tricks on them? Since they don’t trust me, it’s better to just turn around and leave.

"There is no intention to study it in detail. It is obvious that [Ziyun Valley] already has the answer in its heart.

“The strange thing about this is that there are more than one victims, but the scope of the investigation is limited.

In any mystery, the victim, the weapon, and the murderer are all necessary parts.

"Case description: A strange frost appears in Ziyun Valley. Find out the truth and find the real culprit, and you can get the detective reward."

"Triggering case: Ziyun Hanshuang."

"Fellow Taoist Cao, I have been offended a lot just now. Please help me send a helping hand." Taoist Master Dingyun made a very polite request to Cao An.

Hearing Cao An's words, the surrounding alchemists and doctors had ugly expressions. If Ziyun Valley hadn't usually had a good reputation, they would have almost left in a hurry.

As for what’s next…

"What they want is for famous doctors to solve the frozen disease, rather than to explore the truth."

"The mystery is discovered, the detective system is activated!"

Naturally among them were Sima Shu and Cao An, who saw through the mystery at a glance.

Elder Dingyun was considered a highly respected senior. At this moment, he took the initiative to express his apology and offered generous gifts, which somewhat smoothed the knot in everyone's hearts.

In terms of qualifications, Cao An is from Daxing, so asking him for help is very risky.

Elder Dingyun sighed, cupped his hands to everyone and said:
"You all have come all the way here because I [Ziyun Valley] is a villain. However, this matter is related to the survival of our sect. I really dare not spread it outside. I will apologize to you first. When our sect gets through the crisis, we will definitely A generous gift.”

Cao An's detective system did not malfunction and did not prompt, just because the case could not be established at all.

But in terms of ability, Cao An's reputation as a detective is unparalleled. Now is a critical moment. Now that the matter has been revealed, he must try it anyway.

The [Purple Cloud Valley] in front of us knew the source of the victim's illness but did not allow anyone to investigate it, so it was judged by the system that there was no mystery.

In terms of strength, Cao An was only at the fourth level, which was not enough to make the elders of Ziyun Valley so polite.

"This matter is of great importance. Let's invite a few people from the inner chamber to talk about it." Elder Dingyun asked the names of several people individually, all of whom were capable people and strangers in the world.

“If all the cases were concentrated here, this place would have been turned upside down long ago.

Sure enough, it was not triggered before because the victim concealed the truth and refused to investigate. Now that the internal situation is revealed, the notification sound naturally appeared.

Cao An returned the gift and did not refuse.

Anyway, Qiansi Mansion's intelligence transfer will take another two days. During this time, you can solve the case and make extra money.

What's more, he exposed the plans of various factions last time. Although everyone would not admit it openly, they were afraid of some small tricks secretly.

If you can make good friends with Ziyun Valley, it can be considered an investment.

But when they actually stepped into the sect, the sight in front of them shocked everyone.

...like a curtain, blocking out the two scenes of the sect between the mirror, flowers, water and moon.

In the square outside the gate, there are colorful trees and silver flowers, and every flower is in full bloom.

The land of the inner gate is withered and dilapidated, with vines growing vertically. The ground is covered with fallen leaves and petals. A biting cold wind blows, as if winter has arrived, and it is full of desolation.

"W-what's going on!"

The monks who were invited in saw the devastated scene, their faces filled with astonishment.

On weekdays, they are considered to be on good terms with [Ziyun Valley], so naturally they often come to the valley to drink tea and enjoy flowers.

In the past, Ziyun Valley was full of purple flowers and was known as the most beautiful place in the entire Eastern Continent. How could it end up in such a situation?

"No wonder you didn't participate in the operations a few days ago. The various factions thought something was wrong, so they asked me to come over to investigate. That's true."

Sima Shu looked at this desolate scene and wanted to write it down. In the end, he lowered his pen and sighed. It was better to wait for a turn of events.

The action he was talking about was the Holy Ship War not long ago. It was a plan initiated by the Immortal Alliance. It sent invitations to all the sects, and Ziyun Valley was naturally included.

But let alone taking action, they didn't even arrange for an elder to come over for negotiation.

It's not that Ziyun Valley can't be used without it, but that it feels weird to be in seclusion all the time, so I asked [Qiansi Mansion] to come over and investigate.

When I saw it today, there was indeed something wrong.

Sima Shu walked aside, held the vine of the dead rope and pulled it. There was a 'click', and the dead branch as thick as his wrist broke into pieces on the spot.

“It is rumored that the root of [Purple Cloud Valley] is an immortal spiritual plant called ‘Purple Cloud Vine’. The vitality is majestic and has been handed down for thousands of years. Now there is no life on the vines. No wonder your sect is so nervous. "

The foundation of Ziyun Valley is Ziyun Vine.

Once there is a problem with the foundation, it will be a major event that subverts the entire mountain gate, and external evil spirits will definitely take advantage of it.

There is no other way, Ziyun Valley can only try its best to maintain the youth of the outer sect and invite famous doctors from all over the world to treat it.

"We are good at curing people, and we are good at curing flowers and plants..." All the alchemists and doctors also looked hesitant.

The elixirs they refined and the soup pills they prepared were all for people to take. They only had a vague understanding of the cultivation of this spiritual plant.

The real expert is [Ziyun Valley] himself.

But even they are helpless. How to survive this crisis?

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. This crisis is coming fiercely. I sent the Supreme Elder to turn into an ice sculpture. I just ask you to give me acupuncture to save him. When the Supreme Elder wakes up, maybe there will be a solution."

Has the Supreme Elder also turned into an ice sculpture?

No wonder Ziyun Valley summoned famous doctors. The original intention should be to find out the method of melting ice from the ice sculpture disciples of the outer sect, and then solve the crisis of the Supreme Elder.

That being said, Cao An's previous judgment that the ice sculpture was not completely dead is also true.

Detective Daxing really deserves his reputation! A flick of the finger can mean the difference between life and death.

But why did this detective start studying the dead vines?

"Brother Cao, can you treat this Purple Cloud Vine?" Sima Shu asked strangely from the side.

Cao An shook his head: "I don't know how to treat people, so how can I treat trees?"

"Then you..."

"Of course I'm looking for the murderer!"

"Oh? Did you find the clue?"

"Of course I found it. There are so many clues that it makes my scalp numb..."
