The old man was very happy.

Lin Chen looked at the ruins in front of him, and some emotion arose in his heart.

Sometimes getting some rare treasures is not a good thing. If it attracts the covetousness of others, it will bring disaster to oneself.

He still knows the principle of holding a treasure is a crime.

His eyes flashed, and his body shook, and he flew towards the direction of the ruins.

Looking at the thick dust on the ground, Lin Chen flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind blew out, blowing clean a relatively intact stone step.

He sat down cross-legged, flipped his left hand, took out four copper coins, put his hands together, and muttered something.

Waves of golden light suddenly emerged in his palms, flashing one after another.

After shaking it gently, he threw it in front of him with both hands.

Four copper coins fell to the ground, three of them showed hexagrams directly, and the last one was spinning wildly in place under the effect of golden light.

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly. This situation has never occurred in the use of the Three Yuan Nine Palaces Fate Method over the years.

Could it be that all the descendants of the Li family have died and no descendants have left.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and took the four copper coins back into his palm, and asked in a different way.

This time he was to inquire about the news of the Fusang sacred tree.

Lin Chen shook it gently, and then threw it forward, and suddenly an incredible scene appeared in front of him.

All four copper coins were spinning on the ground, and none of them stopped.

Looking at the front, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. The cause and effect of this sacred tree was too big, and it seemed that he could not completely calculate its position with his means.

Seeing this, Lin Chen sighed lightly. Deduction techniques can't always get results.

After waiting for a while, he calmed down and looked through the ancient books again, looking for clues in them.

If he changed to other information, he would use hexagrams to divination.

......

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lin Chen flew towards a secular city at the foot of the mountain.

Perhaps he could use the power of the secular world to find out if there are any people with the surname Li nearby.

......

The city at the foot of the mountain is very magnificent, and the mottled walls are carved with traces of time, at least hundreds of years.

The words "Yanzhou" are hung on the wall. Although the spiritual energy here is slightly scarce, there are many secular mortals.

It was daytime at this time. Lin Chen silently recited the invisibility formula and quietly flew over the city.

He flew straight into the city and headed for the tallest building.

Soon, a magnificent county governor's mansion came into view. Lin Chen stood in the air and spread his spiritual sense.

Suddenly, some noisy sounds came from below.

Two beams of light flew out of the county governor's mansion in an instant. An old Taoist priest with white eyebrows was in the late stage of Qi Refining.

A thin man was in the middle stage of Qi Refining.

The two of them floated in the air on clouds, looking around, and used spiritual power to transmit the voice.

"Fellow Taoist, which side is coming? The county governor's mansion here is guarded by the two of us. Please show up!!"

The voice was not finished.

There was a movement in the air, and Lin Chen released the invisibility trick, appeared in front of the two, and released the breath on his body.

After the old Taoist priest and the thin man saw Lin Chen clearly, they swept their spiritual senses, and their eyes were suddenly shocked. They were so scared that they were out of their minds and spoke stutteringly.

"Foundation Building Stage!"

The two immediately bowed and saluted, and said to Lin Chen.

"We two didn't know you were here, please forgive me..."

Lin Chen raised his hand and motioned for the two to stand up.

"Get up."

"I came here to find the county governor. Since you two are the worshippers of the county governor's mansion, why don't you take me to see him?"

The thin man hesitated for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"This..."

Lin Chen saw this scene, glanced at the two coldly, and said lightly.

"Why, you don't want to?"

The old Taoist saw the look on Lin Chen's face and felt something was wrong. He quickly pulled the sleeve of the man next to him and apologized.

"Since you want to see the county governor, it's natural. I will take you to see him now."

"Please, senior~"

As they spoke, the three of them descended towards the county governor's mansion below.

It stands to reason that as the worshippers of the county governor's mansion, they naturally cannot do such a thing of betraying their own people.

The two were just casual cultivators who received a certain amount of spiritual stones from the county governor's office every year, and of course they had to protect the county governor's safety.

But Lin Chen was a cultivator in the foundation-building stage. If they didn't agree, they would be killed by Lin Chen directly, and there would be no place for them to go.

Fang went to reason.

After a few breaths, Lin Chen appeared in a luxurious study, with an old Taoist priest and a thin man standing behind him with somewhat embarrassed faces.

In front of him was a majestic middle-aged man, who was handling official documents from Yanzhou.

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the three people in front of him, and said coldly to the two behind him.

"Is this how the two immortal masters protect me, and even brought people to me."

The two old Taoist priests felt a little ashamed when they heard this. After all, they often boasted about how profound their immortal arts were in the county governor's mansion over the years.

But no one could have imagined that a foundation-building cultivator would come to such a place with scarce spiritual energy.

Lin Chen's face was still calm, and he asked in a calm voice.

"I have something to ask for, and I want to meet the county governor~"

The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Chen, pondered for a moment, and still gave in, sighed helplessly, and said softly.

"Since Master Lin can bring these two to see me, I think his cultivation is much deeper than theirs. Well, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I will do it."

Lin Chen's eyes darkened, and he spoke slowly.

"Lin wants the County Magistrate to help check if there are any families with the surname Li within a thousand miles."

Hearing this request, the County Magistrate's face suddenly changed, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, but disappeared in an instant.

Pretending to be normal, he smiled and said.

"This matter is easy to handle, Master Lin, wait a moment, I will order someone to check it out."

As he said, he shouted outside.

"Come here, serve tea to Master~"

Lin Chen noticed this scene, his eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Not long after, a man in official uniform walked in quickly and whispered a few words in the County Magistrate's ear.

The middle-aged man stood up, bowed to Lin Chen, and spoke.

"Master Lin, we have found out that more than a hundred years ago, all the families with the surname Li in the territory have disappeared and are nowhere to be found."

"Oh, is that so~"

Lin Chen took a sip of tea and said lightly without raising his head.

Then he raised his hand and waved to the two monks beside him.

"You go out first, Lin has something to say to the county governor alone."

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he fell down on the chair with a plop.

The two old Taoist priests retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned, and closed the door by the way.
