I have a magical tree

Of course, even if it was as he expected, not only did this matter not become simple, but it became more complicated and dangerous.

Such a behind-the-scenes mastermind who is good at hiding is more terrifying and frightening than the monsters at the peak of the intermediate level.

Moreover, what worried him the most was that the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely someone from the government. That man was like a poisonous snake, always hiding among them, but not noticed by them, which made him even more harmful.

After thinking about it, Xu Dao simply told Mr. Ge his guess. He felt that Elder Ge was not that kind of person. He could feel how kind Elder Ge was to him, and he should be trustworthy.

He talked about what he found in the inspection department files and his own speculations.

"You mean there's something fishy behind this matter?"

"That's right, the timing of this monster's appearance is perfect, but it happened to be encountered by Chief Qin, and in the end, Chief Qin happened to survive. It seems that he wanted to use his mouth to tell everyone that this matter was caused by the monster."

"Your speculation is indeed reasonable, just wait!" Mr. Ge nodded, and then ordered the servants on the side, "Go to the Xu family!"

"Teacher, what is this?"

"I want Ah Quan to help me check some things. He is the most careful and careful in his work, and I feel most at ease."

Arriving at Xu Dao's home, Mr. Ge called A Quan, "Go and help me check the talents of the missing children, mainly those children from big families and wealthy families. Be careful to be subtle and tactful, and don't reveal your intentions. Just make a side attack!"

After Ah Quan left, Mr. Ge explained to Xu Dao: "Only those big families and wealthy families will pay attention to their children's talents, and some will even conduct special tests. Those children from ordinary families, even if they are really talented, But now they are all missing and we don’t know.”

At this time, Xu Lu came from outside with a tea bowl and served tea to Mr. Ge.

"Grandpa Ge, drink tea!"

Elder Ge, who was originally serious, suddenly had a smile on his face. He took the tea and put it aside, then rubbed Xu Lu's head and took out a small bag from his sleeve.

"Here, I didn't give you a gift last time I came here. I'll make up for it this time."

Xu Lu stared at the bag without daring to take it, and then looked at Xu Dao. Xu Dao nodded, and she took it with a smile.

"Thank you grandpa!"

"Yes!" The smile on Mr. Ge's face became more obvious. This was the real purpose of his coming here today. It would be a pity if this kid's spirituality was wasted. Although it is still early to be able to practice martial arts, the foundation can be laid earlier.

Although his alchemy skills already have a successor named Xu Dao, it doesn't hurt to have one more. It's not that he can't afford to support him anyway, and he really doesn't want to waste it.

"What did the teacher give you?" Xu Dao motioned to Xu Lu to bring the small bag over for him to see.

Xu Lu was well-behaved and immediately ran to him and handed it over.

Xu Dao opened it and was surprised because there was actually a handful of Sanjing lotus seeds in the bag. There were about dozens of them.

"Some three-purity lotus seeds are most suitable for her to eat. One pill a day can ease the tendons, cut the marrow, and consolidate the foundation. There are no hidden dangers." Elder Ge said calmly, and then warned: "This is for her, don't talk to her. Grab it! Your foundation is already very deep, these three pure lotus seeds will not have much effect on you, and it will be useless if you eat it!"

Xu Dao curled his lips, "I know, teacher, what I tried, it really didn't have much effect."

"Well, after she finishes eating these lotus seeds, I will find something else for her."

Xu Dao couldn't help but said: "Teacher, you don't have to be like this!"

Mr. Ge shook his head, "That is to say, you met me a little late. Some measures to lay the foundation must start from an early age. But when you reach that age, it begins to take shape, and it is too difficult to change! This child is like a child. It’s just a piece of paper, let alone what I can afford, even if it means selling everything, she might be more talented than you by then!”

"Thank you, teacher!" Xu Dao thanked him from the bottom of his heart. He also wanted to lay a solid foundation for Xu Lu, but the actual situation was that he didn't have that ability yet. In other words, he has not been able to convert his strength into resources because his strength cannot be exposed.

"You don't have to be envious, I'm also looking for something suitable for you! After the bone age of thirteen, many things have been finalized. Although there will be changes in the future, they are all insignificant details. So I want to let your talent take root. Bones go a step further, which is a bit difficult! Even if most people really have such a thing, they won’t keep it for themselves or to train their descendants.”

"Teacher, don't worry! I don't have to worry, I think my talent is already very good!" This is the truth. In fact, Xu Dao, who has owned a giant bronze tree since he was a child, has been refining and enhancing his talent, and ordinary medicine has no effect on him. I'm afraid it won't work at all.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, just practice with peace of mind!" Mr. Ge didn't bother to listen to this at all, and no one had ever thought against him for his excellent qualifications.

While the two were talking, it was noon before they knew it. Aniang prepared food, and Mr. Ge stayed at home to eat.

While eating, Ah Quan came back.

"Master, we have found out everything."

"How is the situation?" Mr. Ge put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Because I had to do it covertly, I didn't dare to investigate in a big way, so I could only make some insinuations. However, I still found some gains. All the missing children were extremely talented. Even those children from ordinary families were all very smart since childhood. Wisdom.”

Mr. Ge asked Ah Quan to step back, and then looked at Xu Dao: "It seems that your guess is correct, there is indeed a hidden secret in this matter. But, who is this person, and what are you going to do after taking away so many talented children? Woolen cloth?"

"Practicing evil skills?" Xu Dao whispered. As for why he had this idea, of course, it was written in those vernacular novels, so he just said it casually.

But Ge Lao did not object, "It is indeed possible! If so, the scope is much smaller. Either they are very close to the minimum breakthrough age, stuck in a certain realm and unable to make any progress, or their strength has suddenly increased significantly recently. Only these types of people will use such evil means."

"I will continue to investigate this matter secretly, so you don't have to investigate. Since it is man-made, you may be discovered if you investigate it without authorization. This is dangerous." Ge Lao warned.

"Okay, teacher, if there is any progress, let me know."

"I will increase my efforts to find the method of concealing the breath, and you don't have to worry!" Ge Lao looked at the spirituality gushing out of Xu Lu and was also distressed. It is difficult not to be targeted with such an outstanding talent!

"Also, you have to be careful, don't be careless, you have a good talent! If you notice something wrong, tell me in time!"

We must find that guy as soon as possible. It's really uncomfortable to be so scared now! Ge Laosan shoveled the rice into his mouth in two mouthfuls, and then left in a hurry!

And Xu Dao finally had time to check his harvest. He had been waiting for the bronze giant tree to light up the first branch. His intuition told him that once the first branch was lit, the bronze giant tree would definitely undergo some changes, which might bring him a surprise. Now is the time to verify it!
