Pawn Crossing the River

After all, the Lion City is the most prosperous place in the whole of Nanyang. Although it is not as lacking as Yujing, it is still rich in materials. Qi Xuansu is now the chief deputy palace master, and can use the manpower and material resources of the Taoist palace. Naturally, it will not be like before. So embarrassed.

The ordinary low-grade "returning soul incense" looks like a stick of incense and costs one worry-free money, which is ten peace coins.

If Lin Yuanmiao wants to completely control the immortal's body, he needs ten thousand of these incense sticks.

Ten peace coins for a piece of incense requires ten thousand sticks, which is one hundred thousand peace coins.

At first, Qi Xuansu gave him one thousand, and later Zhang Yuelu gave him another five thousand.

Qi Xuansu's idea is also very simple. He simply replenishes the remaining four thousand "soul-returning incense" so that Lin Yuanmiao can fully control Lin Lingsu's remains, supplemented by some other means, and then rely on Lin Yuanmiao's The immortal body heals itself.

This is just like when ordinary people get sick. Many times, drugs can only relieve the symptoms, and recovery depends on the body's self-healing ability.

Xie Jiaofeng took an inventory of the relevant inventory of Tianfu Palace, and counted the top-grade "Returning Soul Incense" and the middle-grade "Returning Soul Incense" into the lower-grade "Returning Soul Incense". There were about 1,600 sticks. Qi Xuansu The explanation was not very clear at first. After knowing the inventory of Tianfu Palace, it was clearly stated that to fill the gap of the remaining 2,400 sticks, Xie Jiaofeng would be needed to second him.

Xie Jiaofeng had been in the Lion City for so many years, he was really kind to others, he still had connections, and he was seconded in the name of the Taoist government, so it was not difficult to gather 2,400 "returning incense" sticks.

Soon, the people from Huasheng Hall also arrived.

If it were the Huashengtang main hall in Yujing, they would naturally be able to cure Lin Yuanmiao, but it was just the Borneo branch. Qi Xuansu did not dare to expect them to help Lin Yuanmiao resolve the immortal sword energy in his body. He only asked Huashengtang The branch hall tried its best to help Lin Yuanmiao relieve his injuries, strengthen Lin Yuanmiao's vitality, and play some supporting role, which can also be understood as delaying some time.

The people from Huashengtang first moved Lin Yuanmiao to a quiet room that was closed enough, and then used various instruments on Lin Yuanmiao.

For example, a pot-shaped object can be crushed after putting pills in it, and then turned into mist, which can be used by patients and wounded who cannot swallow pills. The mist can penetrate into the body through the skin. There were also some things borrowed from Westerners, such as bottles, cans, and various thin tubes. Qi Xuansu didn't understand much about them, so he let the people from Huashengtang use them.

After Lin Yuanmiao's situation stabilized a little, Qi Xuansu ordered people to transport the "soul-returning incense" stored in Tianfu Palace, ignited them all, and then sealed the entire room.

Although the "returning incense" is harmless, it will cause people to lose all realm cultivation in a short period of time.

It has to be said that the effect of the "returning incense" was immediate. After 1,600 sticks of "returning incense", Lin Yuanmiao, who was originally unconscious, finally woke up.

After Qi Xuansu waited until the "Returning Soul Incense" had almost dispersed, he came to Lin Yuanmiao and asked, "Old Lin, how do you feel?"

Lin Yuanmiao was still lying on the bed and smiled bitterly: "I won't die yet."

Xiao Yin also followed Qi Xuansu, grabbing the edge of the bed and looking at Lin Yuanmiao helplessly: "I thought you were going to die, you scared me to death."

Lin Yuanmiao exhaled a breath, and looked at Xiao Yin with a somewhat loving look: "It is true that he almost died."

Qi Xuansu took advantage of the situation and asked: "What is going on?"

Lin Yuanmiao said slowly: "I followed Zhang Cixi to Lingnan Daofu. Zhang Cixi began a routine inspection. On the way to Dongdu Prefecture, we accidentally discovered a group of whales. It suddenly occurred to me that whales might guide the way. I followed the whale to the bottom of the sea and started looking for traces of Tongzhen Palace. In the process, I also kept in touch with Zhang Cixi, so I knew that Zhang Cixi had come to the Lion City. "

Qi Xuansu's heart moved slightly and asked: "Have you found Tongzhen Palace?"

Lin Yuanmiao nodded: "I did find Tongzhen Palace, but I didn't expect that the Tongzhen Palace left by Lin Lingsu would be occupied by someone else."

Qi Xuansu hesitated: "It can't be Qian Xiangyun."

"If it was just Qian Xiangyun, then I would have killed her." Lin Yuanmiao said, "There was someone else. I don't recognize this person, but she is also a woman, and a female immortal."

Qi Xuansu was shocked.

He already had a guess.

The female immortal in the Nanyang realm can only be one person, Chen Shuhua.

Xu Jiaorong had told him not long ago that Zheng Jiaohe had said before his death that Chen Shuhua had a hiding place unknown to others, which was transformed from the ancient immortal cave.

So that's right. Chen Shuhua has been in Nanyang for many years. Although he has no memory of Lin Yuanmiao, he still found the location of Tongzhen Palace. It may be a coincidence, or it may be that Chen Shuhua obtained Lin Lingsu's legacy through other channels. Other clues, in short, Chen Shuhua found Tongzhen Palace.

The next thing happened naturally, Chen Shuhua took Tongzhen Palace as his own, and his cultivation greatly increased as a result. After all, even if Chen Shuhua does not have the "Eternal Life Stone", he still has the cultivation level of a pseudo-immortal. Without the support of the Golden Que level, it is extremely rare. It would be very reasonable to say that Chen Shuhua has received the inheritance of an immortal.

It turns out that Chen Shuhua is hiding here. No wonder Jiang Daren searched the mountains and seas but couldn't find any trace of Chen Shuhua.

Lin Yuanmiao saw Qi Xuansu's expression change: "Do you know who that female immortal is?"

Qi Xuansu sighed: "If I guess correctly, this person should be Chen Shuhua, the former chief deputy head of the Borneo Taoist Palace who defected."

Lin Yuanmiao had heard the name Chen Shuhua from Zhang Yuelu, but was not very familiar with it. She couldn't help but ask: "A dignified immortal is just the chief deputy palace master? The Taoist sect is too trusting."

The implication of Lin Yuanmiao's words was that the Taoist sect was treated unfairly and allowed an immortal to be the chief deputy master, who was not even the master of the palace. No wonder the immortal wanted to defect.

Qi Xuansu had to briefly explain the cause and effect of the matter, how Chen Shuhua stole dragon energy, how he colluded with the ancient immortals, how he refined the "Eternal Life Stone", and how he plotted against the Taoist sect and was treasonous.

After hearing this, Lin Yuanmiao sighed with emotion: "This person is indeed very talented and ambitious. Not only is his cultivation extremely high, he is also very scheming."

Qi Xuansu said: "It's a pity that she can't see the situation clearly. If it were a troubled time when all the heroes came together, she might really be able to become the master of one party with her actions. But in the current world, Jin Que rules the world with unparalleled power. Even if she becomes an immortal, She can't compete with the Dao Sect. She is still in the process of being reborn on the 77th and 49th, and has not yet achieved a true immortal body. Even if she wants to ascend and die, she is afraid that everything will be in vain. The gathering of three flowers at the top is an illusion, and the clouds flying under your feet are not real either.”

Lin Yuanmiao had to admit this: "No wonder she didn't pursue him to the end. It turns out that she was still undergoing a major transformation at this time."

In fact, the reason why Lin Yuanmiao chose to follow Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu instead of going it alone was because of the Taoist sect. Today's Taoist sect is really unstoppable. Even the Second Tribulation Immortal may not be able to compete with the entire Taoist sect. After all, the Taoist sect back then When the Xinxue Saint suppressed the Taoist sect, he led the entire Confucian sect, rather than surrendering the Taoist sect single-handedly, let alone the ordinary immortals.

Qi Xuansu's mood was a little complicated at this time. Chen Shuhua occupied Tongzhen Palace, and all the Lin Lingsu treasures inside naturally fell into Chen Shuhua's bag, and had even been used by Chen Shuhua. Qi Xuansu didn't have to think about it. But the good news is that it was a blessing in disguise. Chen Shuhua's whereabouts was discovered by accident. It was not a great achievement, but it was regarded as getting rid of a scourge. If Chen Shuhua was really let go, Qi Xuansu would have to worry about his own safety when Chen Shuhua returned to his peak state. He didn't think that Chen Shuhua would let him go easily. After all, he was the one who single-handedly destroyed Chen Shuhua's many years of layout and ruined Chen Shuhua's plan. Once, he also ordered the execution of Chen Shuhua's brother Chen Shuzhen.

If Qi Xuansu were in Chen Shuhua's position, he would kill him to satisfy his hatred.

After all, Chen Shuhua is an immortal. If an immortal can't be happy with his grudges, it would be too frustrating. Moreover, a person can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days. Now that Qi Xuansu is in the light and Chen Shuhua is in the dark, Qi Xuansu is also unable to guard against them.

Therefore, for Qi Xuansu, it is better to deal with Chen Shuhua as soon as possible.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Old Lin, can you give me the location of Tongzhen Palace now?"

Lao Lin nodded, raised his hand with difficulty to hold his eyebrows, pulled out a little spiritual light, and flew to Qi Xuansu on his own.

Qi Xuansu did not press this spiritual light into his eyebrows, but put it in his sleeves, told Xiao Yin to guard Lin Yuanmiao, and then turned and left the place.

At this moment, Xie Jiaofeng also came back, wiping his sweat: "Chief, I have seconded you for the 2,400 'soul-returning incense' sticks you requested."

Qi Xuansu said: "It will all be recorded in the account of the Taoist government, and then handed over to Huashengtang, so that they can use it all without leaving any money behind."

Xie Jiaofeng nodded in agreement.

Qi Xuansu continued: "Get ready, I'm going to Shenglong Mansion."

Xie Jiaofeng was shocked and said subconsciously: "Isn't it that the third show has passed? Isn't it useful? The chief must personally take action? This, this is too rampant. Is Nanyang still a Taoist sect?"

Qi Xuansu ignored him and said, "You go prepare the flying boat. I want to report to Master Jiang Da first."

"Yes." Xie Jiaofeng responded and quickly turned around and left.

As the saying goes, changes come later. Chen Shuhua did not pursue Lin Yuanmiao to the end. Although there were reasons for her poor condition, there were also some other variables.

Maybe she would give up Tongzhen Palace immediately and flee to other places, so there was no need to kill anyone.

Maybe she was careless because she didn't know the details of Lin Yuanmiao and thought that Lin Yuanmiao was not a member of the Taoist sect, so she felt that her whereabouts would not be revealed.

After all, the heavenly beings in the creation stage within the Taoist sect are all famous figures, and their number is not too large. As a former member of the Taoist sect, it is not difficult for Chen Shuhua to recognize all these people. Since he does not know them, he is not a member of the Taoist sect.

As for Qian Xiangyun, she recognized Lin Yuanmiao, but she didn't know about the cooperation between Lin Yuanmiao and Qi Zhang. She was already on the run at that time.

No matter what the situation is, Qi Xuansu must implement it as soon as possible.
