Refa is King

Chapter 763 Chapter 220 Ninth Investigation 2
To say that the distribution density of the elixir in the wild has some relationship with the aura, but not all of it. The elixir is more about absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.

The spiritual veins of Tiepan Mountain are scattered, but the spiritual energy is still good, and with the plateau, the production of elixir is basically not bad.

The production of elixir is also related to the frequency of collection of elixir. Generally, it goes to the mountain once every ten or 20 years to collect it on a large scale, just like the mountain release of Qingyun Academy.

Bao Bushu gave the order to close the mountain, and Bao Bushu also knew that Tiepanshan would not be too extreme, and the result would definitely not be so wonderful.

There is no book and there is no need for elixir to support the operation of the academy, so they decided to close the mountain, which means to draw out a large ~ piece of mountain range, and monks are not allowed to enter the mountain to collect elixir.

Of course, this is not to say that monks should be cut off from collecting elixir, but distributed in the form of missions, and they should be worn with mission badges.

This is also a disguised way of working, even casual cultivators can also receive some tasks. Although the monks of the sect look down on the casual cultivators, each sect needs a lot of lower-level monks.

However, Tiepanshan has not released the elixir collection mission yet.

This elixir was obviously harvested, and monsters would also eat elixir, but what the monsters ate was completely different from what humans collected.

Moreover, there are various rules for collecting elixir, what year is the elixir, and the big ones are collected to keep the small ones.

The cultivator has long understood this, but the elixir plant on the cliff just now was obviously in a crevice of the stone, and even the smaller ones around it were collected together.

This kind of collection method, as long as it appears in a certain spiritual mountain, once it is found out, it will be deported.

But this trace is very faint. If it weren't for the breath of the elixir growing in the gap, the elixir grows, the color of the rock is not the same as the surrounding, and it can't be seen without the book.

"Two places!" Bao Bushu soon discovered the second place, which was on a soil slope, behind a big tree, and the location was very hidden.

"It seems that someone really sneaked in here to steal the elixir." Bao Bushu looked at a gentian plant in the distance, and muttered to himself.

Then in the third place and the fourth place, the elixir in some relatively hidden places was dug up by the roots.

Lan Daxian was also very annoyed, if it wasn't for the package or book, he would have searched around a long time ago.

The round-eared mule moved its ears a few times, then shook its head.

Bao Bushu's face was a little embarrassed, although Bao Bushu knew a long time ago that there is no Taoism that is omnipotent, and there is no magic power that is omnipotent.

After searching carefully, Bao Bushu discovered that the number of stolen elixirs exceeded hundreds, all of which were in hidden places.

Moreover, no other clues were left behind, which made Bao Bushu even more uneasy
This means that there are unstable factors in the site.

"Brother, why are there no traces here?" Lan Daxian asked in a low voice, without bothering to call Dean Bao Bu.

Hearing this, Bao Bushu asked, "Aren't you calling the dean?"

"Brother, tell me quickly." Lan Daxian felt like a cat scratching his heart now. Lan Daxian volunteered to be a mountain patrol guard, so he knew he was stolen.

Bao Bushu opened his mouth and said: "There is no trace, the first reason is that other people have high strength, flying into the sky, escaping from the ground, or supernatural powers."

"This is obviously holding back!" Lan Daxian said.

"Correct, this is the one who came to steal our things, and the second is that the other party has to cover up his identity." Bao Bushu said.

After Lan Daxian finished listening, he asked suspiciously, "What's the difference?"

"Of course there is, but I don't think the first possibility is great." Bao Bushu said.

"Why?" Lan Daxian didn't understand the difference between having high strength and having to cover up his identity. Does it mean that high strength in stealing doesn't need to cover up his identity?
"Do you still remember the second place we found, the elixir plant at the root of the big tree, there are only 200-year-old Ganoderma lucidum at most, and those with high strength will not be collected at all." Bao Bushu explained.

Lan Daxian asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

"The big tree is only five or six hundred years old at most. If it is really a panacea that is five or six hundred years old, it would have been pushed up by the big tree." Bao Bushu said while making an expanding movement.

"Oh, I see, the big tree is going to get thicker." Lan Daxian said.

"By the way, it's a three-pointed pine, which usually grows very slowly after 300 years, combined with the location where the elixir grows." Bao Bushu explained carefully.

Lan Daxian understood, and then asked: "And then?"

"Then there is the second type, who has to conceal their identities. One is the acquaintances around, which we don't have, and the other is those who are forced to live in seclusion, or whose identities cannot be revealed." Bao Bushu added.

"For example?" Lan Daxian asked.

"For example, being wanted by various sects, or monks from the Demon Sect or some evil sect." Bao Bushu shrugged and said.

"Could it be a monster or a spirit beast?" Lan Daxian asked incomprehensibly.

"Wonder beasts and spirit beasts have such high IQs without external force?" Bao Bushu replied shaking his head.

Lan Daxian then asked, "What should we do next?"

"There is a solution already." Bao Bushu said.

"What way?" Lan Daxian asked when he heard this.

Bao Bushu is also ready to patiently analyze Lan Daxian. Although Lan Daxian is not low in intelligence, intelligence is completely different from IQ and EQ.

It is even more different from logical analysis, Bao Bushu said: "Tell me first what these elixirs have in common when they are stolen?"

"The common place...?" Lan Daxian looked at Bao Bushu in surprise, what's the problem?
"I'm here to teach you how to think about and deal with these things in the future. The world of human monks is more complicated than any society composed of races." Bao Bushu said.

When Lan Daxian heard this, he immediately remembered.

"It was all stolen?"

"..."

"There's no trace at all?"

"...I want you to think carefully about what these elixir have in common, the stolen elixir." Bao Bushu was speechless, and had to remind him to ask.

"It's all elixir..." Lan Daxian was a little puzzled, and couldn't remember anything.

"Look at a elixir, where does it grow?" Bao Bushu asked.

"On the bark... no, it's not easy to find." Lan Daxian finally got it right.

"Correct, then what else can you think of, such as asking you to find the location of these elixir, will you find it?" Bao Bushu asked persuasively.

"Oh, I see. Is there any magic power or other treasures to find elixir?" Lan Daxian was not stupid this time.

Bao Bushu nodded, and then said: "Since this is the case, we can start to search from several aspects."

"A few, I thought I would mobilize people to find them." Lan Daxian said.

"Then if it were you, what would you do?" Bao Bushu asked again, there is no way, these fairy beasts have to broaden their minds, after all, this mess will be under the control of Immortal Lan in the future.

"First, continue to search and send monsters to search." Lan Daxian said, looking at Bao Bushu after speaking.

Hearing this, Bao Bushu said, "This is a way, after all, the monsters in these places will not arouse the vigilance of the opponent."

"Hey." Lan Daxian smiled.

"The second is that there are so many elixirs, it is impossible to use them by yourself, you can ask other people for information." Lan Daxian said again

"Yes, yes, this method is good. The elixir was stolen more than a month ago, so once someone sells a large amount of elixir, you can catch the other party, but this method is almost impossible to succeed , because it is impossible for us to know the transaction volume of all the square markets, and the other party can go to far away places to sell." Bao Bushu praised Lan Daxian, originally, this Lan Daxian can think of such a method, it is indeed an improvement .

"Then what do you think we should do?" Lan Daxian asked with staring eyes when he heard Bao Bushu's words.

Bao Bushu opened his mouth and said: "First, this kind of stealthy guy, it's better not to scare the snake, you are talking about using monsters, this is fine.

Second, you can also check the sales of elixir, but don't hold out much hope.

Third, prepare traps. Since the other party may have a treasure to search for elixir, then look for it from this direction.

Fourth, continue to search for traces. "

After Lan Daxian finished listening, he asked, "What if it's not enough?"

"Then we have to take our time." Bao Bushu vaguely guessed in his heart that these guys who hide their tracks are definitely not good things.

"Besides, the purpose is different, so the means are also different. For example, if we want to prevent him from stealing the elixir, if we search for it with great fanfare, there is a [-]% chance that the other party will leave this place. If we want to catch someone, we must take it slowly , Just like you search for prey and hunt, be patient." Bao Bushu said again.

Lan Daxian nodded, and then asked, "What do you mean by big brother?"

"Of course they caught people." Bao Bushu felt that the matter was not so simple, because Bao Bushu had read the relevant information on Tiepanshan, and the population here has never been able to develop, and even the income from elixir and so on. If there are too many, it restricts the development of the original sect here.

Just like this method of secretly stealing elixir, as long as the timing is accurate enough, there will be no trace of the three in three to five months.

If this is an independent incident, Bao Shu doesn't care, but if it is a continuous incident, there is some secret behind it, and I feel a little disturbed when I think about it.

"It's gone, it's gone here." After searching for about five days in a row, there was finally no trace of the elixir being picked.

But Bao Bushu's face was very ugly. In five days, more than [-] elixirs were suspected to have been stolen.

Seven hundred elixir, a cultivation family can earn the most, of course it is small.

"Principal Lan, send your monsters to go around the surrounding forests, preferably those you just picked up." After returning to the academy, Bao Bushu said.

"Yes, big brother." Lan Daxian immediately went to handle it. For a former beast king, it is very easy to accept a younger brother.

Then Bao Bushu came to Fangshi again, and Tian Xingzi was also very surprised after hearing what Bao Bushu said.

"Tsk tsk, this guy is very smart. Did you see the area you mentioned? There are several rivers around it, forming a relatively easy to distinguish area. I guess, this guy steals from more than one place. If I divide it into several Area, and then steal separately, we found it in this area, then next time it may be in any other area." Tian Xingzi said.

Bao Bushu nodded and said: "Brother, can you ask me if there are any panaceas that are sold in large quantities at one time in the surrounding market."

"No book, it's probably difficult. Others will not be stupid, and some are sold in a market, so it's not easy to find them, but I will try to help you find them." Tian Xingzi said.

"Thank you, brother." Bao Bushu said.

"Do you have any guesses in your mind?" Tian Xingzi asked.

Bao Bushu opened his mouth and said: "There are some guesses, but I'm not sure yet, because some of them are too unbelievable."

"..." Tian Xingzi looked at Bao Bushu.

"Five Poison Gate." Bao Bushu said.

Hearing this, Tian Xingzi asked in surprise, "Why?"

"There is nothing better than spirit insects that can search for elixir in a large area. The time when elixir is stolen is basically at the end of summer. At this time, elixir blooms more." Bao Bushu said.

When Tian Xingzi heard this, he still found it unbelievable, and asked, "Is it impossible for the Five Poison Sect to be here?"

"No one can guarantee this. This snow-capped mountain stretches to the territory of the Demon Sect, and it is uninhabited all year round, and there are three cunning rabbit caves. If you would have thought that the Demon Sect would be here?" Bao Bushu said.

It's no wonder that Bao Bushu thought of the Five Poisons Gate, because the spirit insect's perception of elixir is stronger than that of the round-eared spirit mouse. The round-eared spirit mouse mainly uses its sense of smell to find the elixir, because the elixir is always accompanied by the spirit worm appeared.

Tian Xingzi nodded: "It's really possible, do you want to ask someone for help?"

"No need." Bao Bushu shook his head.

Then Bao Bushu left Bianfang City, and then returned to the academy to check the map carefully.

"Could it be the Shadowless Sword Sect?" Bao Bushu murmured in his heart, because although the stolen elixir was not on the side of the Shadowless Sword Sect, it was not near the Jiuyang Gate either.

Instead, it was closer to the Snow Mountain, Bao Bushu pondered in his mind.

"Rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest. If I am a demon and hide here, it's better not to make troubles around. Then maybe the other party will be on the Wuying Sword Sect? Or the Daxue Mountain?" Bao Bushu murmured in his heart. In the face of such a clueless matter, Bao Bushu is also a little bit blind.

Bao Bushu thought about it and decided to wait until Tian Xingzi received the news five days later.

"There is no way to find it. There are a lot of elixir traded. If there is nothing special, I can't find it at all, and there is no way to ask casual practitioners to inquire. Who knows if the found casual practitioners will participate in it?" Tian Xingzi shook his head and said.

"Then senior brother, how about I use elixir as a trap?" Although he knew that the method would not work, Bao Bushu had no choice but to prepare his next plan in the face of such a result.
