Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

Ye Jiang's gaze lingered on Hai Yunqian from time to time. He admired her beauty and talent, often casting admiring glances.

The other three also stole glances occasionally, but only Li Chengfeng was meticulous, secretly observing everything.

He increasingly felt that Ye Jiang was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

After a few rounds of dishes and drinks, everyone ate to their heart's content, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Ye Jiang, as the leader, appeared calm and composed, and the others naturally followed his rhythm.

Hai Yunqian, who was the most anxious, wanted to urge them on but didn't dare to frequently offer toasts, lest she appear too eager.

After the meal, led by the woman, they went straight to the Hai family.

The Hai family was located in a corner outside the ancient capital, owning hundreds of thousands of acres of land and controlling several towns, making them extremely wealthy.

However, the family now showed signs of decline. Some servants even left the Hai family with their bags packed, and even some rogue cultivators chose to leave.

Hai Yunqian shook her head helplessly and said, "As you can see, once a family declines, it loses its backbone, like a piece of fat meat.

Everyone wants to take a bite. When my father returns, he will definitely make those Wang, Ma, and Zhao families pay a painful price."

Ye Jiang nodded in agreement and then entered the Hai family to investigate.

Led by Hai Yunqian, they arrived at her father's study.

Ye Jiang took out a compass from his storage bag. The compass was sharp, and with a hum, it emitted a white light, forming an arrow that scanned back and forth in the study.

After a moment, the compass returned without success. Ye Jiang shook his head, indicating that he had found nothing.

Hai Yunqian was surprised and asked, "Immortal Master Ye, what is this..."

Ye Jiang explained, "This is a spiritual artifact given to me by my master, specially used to find your father's whereabouts.

Although your father has already left, I can find your father by searching for his aura."

Hai Yunqian suddenly understood and quickly thanked him.

Ye Jiang nodded, indicating that they should follow the compass's instructions and search within the Hai residence.

The other fellow disciples guarded him from the side, protecting Ye Jiang's safety.

Li Chengfeng lagged behind. His divine sense was strong, and the entire Ye family was under his divine sense's coverage, but he didn't find anything suspicious.

Li Chengfeng's divine sense scanned back and forth repeatedly. He realized that Ye Jiang was not only looking for clues about the other party's father.

He might also be involved in some kind of treasure or a more secret target.

In his perception, he captured slight fluctuations underground. Although this fluctuation was weak, it was unusually familiar to him—it was the fluctuation of soul power.

In the core area of the Hai family, dozens of feet underground, a sacrificial altar was hidden.

This altar was concealed by a concealment formation. If Li Chengfeng's divine sense wasn't exceptionally strong, it would have been difficult to detect.

Although this formation was not a top-grade concealment formation, it was difficult for Qi Refining stage cultivators to detect.

Li Chengfeng's expression changed slightly, but he didn't show any abnormality.

He realized that this altar gave him a terrifying feeling, which made him start to consider whether to retreat.

He knew that his mission was only to accompany them, but if his life was in danger, he would not hesitate to leave.

He carefully observed Hai Yunqian's back, and found that although she was talking eloquently on the surface, her eyes revealed a worried look.

Li Chengfeng's heart stirred, and he began to look at this Miss Hai more carefully.

He discovered that there was a special power hidden in her, coming from the depths of her soul, which was soul power.

This made him realize that Hai Yunqian might have hidden her strength.

He couldn't help but wonder if this was a setup by Loulan, or a setup for Loulan by someone else?

He couldn't verify it for the time being, but he had become very careful about Hai Yunqian.

In the following actions, Li Chengfeng decided to remain vigilant while observing the movements of Ye Jiang and the other cultivators to deal with possible changes.

He knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only by being vigilant and cautious could he survive.

As expected, after wandering around for a while, they found nothing.

Ye Jiang had to shake his head and sigh, saying, "It seems that there are really no clues. Then let's go to Daxing Ridge first."

Hai Yunqian nodded and happily agreed, "Then when we get there, we will rely on you Immortal Masters. Thank you!"

They each stepped onto golden light, and in an instant, they arrived at Daxing Ridge.

The journey of thousands of miles was completed in less than an hour.

This place was shrouded in a demonic aura, with misty fog.

Although there was danger, there was also beautiful scenery. Hai Yunqian took the lead. She was very familiar with this place and quickly led them deep into the dense forest.

"This is where my father disappeared."

Ye Jiang took out the compass and injected spiritual power into it again. Immediately, with a buzz, the entire compass burst out with white light, covering the front.

After a moment, the arrow slowly approached a direction.

He smiled and said, "There's a reaction. Let's follow this white light."

Hai Yunqian also showed a happy expression, "My father is still alive!"

"That's hard to say, but at least we already know his location." Ye Jiang glanced at Li Chengfeng and said, "Junior Brother, you lead the way in front. With your strength, you should be able to handle it."

Li Chengfeng's expression changed, and he said, "Senior Brother, my strength is shallow. If I lead the way in front, I'm afraid I will ruin things."

Zhang Ying said, "Junior Brother, if you're not in front, who will be?

Although there is danger ahead, there is also opportunity. If you find something good, the senior and junior brothers will not fight with you for it."

Hai Yunqian also smiled at Li Chengfeng, "Then I will have to trouble this Immortal Master."

Now that they encountered danger, Li Chengfeng, this "tool man," finally came in handy.

Helpless, he gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and walked forward.

Ye Jiang and Zhang Ying smiled at each other. Although Li Chengfeng's strength was shallow, he was a good choice as a pathfinder.

After walking for a while, without the other party's attention, Li Chengfeng transformed himself, released a substitute puppet, and his real body entered the Life Realm space.

Through the substitute puppet, he could also pay attention to the outside situation.

Because there were unknown dangers ahead, although he was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, comparable to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he released another substitute puppet for safety.

This substitute puppet was exactly the same as him, lifelike, and its actions were also the same.

He could control the puppet in the hidden space, slowly following.

The range he could control was based on his current level of divine sense. Within that range, the substitute puppet was his clone.

Beyond ten miles, he could not control it, nor could he understand what happened inside.

But this was enough. After exceeding the range of his strength, he would come out of the hidden space again, track to within ten miles, and then hide again, thus ensuring his safety.

Ye Jiang and the others did not notice that Li Chengfeng had already disappeared, and only his substitute puppet was scouting the way ahead.

Li Chengfeng leisurely followed at a distance of six or seven miles, using his substitute puppet to explore the unknown dangers ahead.

Under Li Chengfeng's control, the substitute puppet moved forward slowly.

Suddenly, with a "buzz," countless poisonous bees broke through the air in front of him. These poisonous bees were a type of monster in Daxing Ridge. Although their individual grade was not high, their numbers were large.
