BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 - 167 Tracking
Li Tangyu pondered for a moment, then spoke again:
“In fact, besides the enlightenment by a great demon, there’s another method that can allow Little Sparrow to awaken its spiritual wisdom early and begin transforming into a demon cultivator.”
Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, “A large amount of demon qi…”
“Little Sparrow must have absorbed a large amount of demon qi…”
Places with a large amount of demon qi indeed do exist in this Night Mist Mountain Range.
All of them thought of the same place without prior consultation.
“Demon Race Secret Realm…
Thinking of this, they looked at each other.
Could it really be that demon qi leaked from within the Demon Race Secret Realm?
Li Qingqing then voiced her doubts:
“Didn’t we ask the two Nascent Soul seniors from Qingyuan Sword Sect to seal the secret realm last time?”
“And those two Nascent Soul seniors also said that this seal could last for ten years…”
“How long has it been since then?”
Recalling the beast tide incident from last time, they sighed:
“Yeah, how long has it been…”
“Moreover, that was a seal personally set by two Nascent Soul True Monarchs.”
Following that, everyone fell silent for a moment.
A short while later, Zhang Yuan spoke:
“Brother Li, what should we do next?”
“Do we explore on our own, or do we report directly to the clan?”
Li Tangyu thought for a moment, then said:
“If it truly is a problem at the Demon Race Secret Realm, then there’s not much we can do if we go there, and we might even encounter danger.”
“Let’s report it to the clan. This matter has already exceeded our abilities.”
“That’s for the best…”
Zhang Yuan nodded.
“Sister Qing Ling, Brother Lin…”
“It seems that we few will have to meet another day. We need to report this matter to the clan. Whether it’s true or not, at the very least we must be prepared.”
Li Tangyu bowed to the two of them.
“Indeed, that’s the right thing to do…”
Lin Jing also bowed in response.
Then, Li Tangyu, Li Qingqing, and Zhang Yuan stood up, took their leave from Lin Jing and others. “Sister Qing Ling, Brother Lin, we take our leave.” After speaking, they left.
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling then saw them off.
After returning, Lin Jing helped Huang Qingling tidy everything up, and then
he too lett.
Back in his own courtyard, Lin Jing pondered for a while.
If the seal of the Demon Race Secret Realm was truly broken and another beast tide occurred, he wouldn’t actually need to worry now.
After all, his situation was not like before, since he now lived in the Inner Fang Market, protected by its formations. Even if a beast tide approached, there would be no need for fear.
Afterward, Lin Jing put his thoughts aside.
He disregarded these matters and entered the System Space.
Tonight was another night for alchemy.
The next day, as dawn broke…
Little Sparrow flapped its wings and came to Lin Jing’s courtyard, apparently remembering Lin Jing’s words from yesterday.
By then, Lin Jing had already emerged from System Space, waiting for Little Sparrow.
Seeing Little Sparrow’s arrival, Lin Jing beckoned for it to come down, and once Little Sparrow did, he said:
“Little Sparrow, I want you to help me track someone.”
Little Sparrow tilted its head, looking at Lin Jing.
“You just need to see where he goes every day and then come back, and you’ll take me through it.”
“Of course, it’s best if he doesn’t notice you…”
“After this tracking mission is complete, I’ll give you a few Medium Grade Gathering Yuan Pills, the same kind you had last night…”
Upon hearing this, Little Sparrow nodded.
Seeing Little Sparrow nod in agreement, Lin Jing then took Little Sparrow and left the house.
To enable Little Sparrow to track that Pill Master surnamed Wang, he had to first introduce Little Sparrow to the man.
Previously, after finding out about Lin Jing’s relationship with Elder Yu, the Pill Master surnamed Wang, in an attempt to curry favor, had told Lin Jing where he lived.
Thus, Lin Jing knew where the Pill Master surnamed Wang resided.
This time, he was taking Little Sparrow to the residence of the Pill Master surnamed Wang so that Little Sparrow could memorize the man and thereafter follow him.
Upon leaving the house, they turned a couple of alleys and then walked some distance before arriving near the Pill Master surnamed Wang’s courtyard.
As both were Pill Masters serving under Yuebaolou and lived in courtyards provided by Yuebaolou, their residences were not very far from each other. Next, Lin Jing stopped and then turned to Little Sparrow, saying,
“Remember, the person living in this courtyard, as soon as he steps out, you follow him without letting him discover you…”
“When he returns to the courtyard, come back to find me, and then take me through the places he has been to.”
After Lin Jing finished speaking, he looked at Little Sparrow.
Little Sparrow nodded her head.
“Alright, off you go. Remember to be careful and keep a certain distance from him. You must not let him detect you.”
Lin Jing reiterated.
Little Sparrow cocked her head, cast a glance at Lin Jing, then flapped her wings and flew away.
Indeed, she was clever; when Little Sparrow flew over, she made no sound at all.
However, Lin Jing was still a bit worried, fearing any mishap.
Therefore, after Little Sparrow flew off, and upon seeing that there was no one around, Lin Jing moved closer and also entered System Space.
After entering System Space, Lin Jing instantly activated Observation Mode.
Immediately, the viewpoint rose, and Lin Jing looked toward the interior of the courtyard.
Lin Jing spotted Little Sparrow; at that moment, she was hiding on a tree inside the courtyard. Lin Jing didn’t interfere with her but continued to look around at other places.
The courtyard where the Pill Master surnamed Wang lived was similar to the one Lin Jing stayed in, both designed in the same style.
Therefore, it didn’t take much effort for Lin Jing to locate the bedroom.
Following that…
Lin Jing controlled the viewpoint of Observation Mode and peered into the bedroom where the Pill Master surnamed Wang resided.
This Observation Mode was extremely powerful; as long as it was within the observational scope, it could penetrate any obstacle.
Lin Jing controlled the viewpoint to pass through the wall and saw the scene inside the bedroom.
It was a simple bedroom, everything visible at a glance.
However, Lin Jing didn’t find any trace of the Pill Master surnamed Wang there.
“Not here?”
Lin Jing furrowed his brow, muttering to himself.
Then, he continued to control the observational viewpoint, rising until it passed through the roof and scanned over the entire courtyard from above.
Lin Jing noticed that behind the bedroom, there was a small room emitting a faint light. With a thought, he maneuvered the viewpoint towards that room.
This small room was the Alchemy room.
Of course, it seemed that the Pill Master surnamed Wang was in the middle of Alchemy.
Next, Lin Jing controlled the viewpoint to pass through the wall of the Alchemy room and witnessed the scene inside.
He saw the Pill Master surnamed Wang currently engaged in Alchemy, sweating profusely on his forehead, eyes intently fixed on the Pill Furnace, carefully manipulating the Foundation Building True Fire.
It appeared that it was a critical moment in the Alchemy process.
Before long, the batch of Elixir Furnace Medicine was completed.
After the Elixir Medicine was complete, the Pill Master surnamed Wang walked over, opened the Pill Furnace…
Then he took out the Elixir Medicine, his lips moved slightly, and he muttered a curse under his breath.
It seemed the batch of Elixir Medicine didn’t meet his expectations.
After that, the Pill Master surnamed Wang stored the Elixir Medicine in a small porcelain bottle and placed it into his Storage Bag,
then rummaged through the Storage Bag for a while. Moments later, the Pill Master surnamed Wang let out a coarse curse:
“Shit, it’s all used up again…”
He then got up, tidied up his slightly crumpled clothes, and walked out of the Alchemy room.
As he walked into the courtyard, Lin Jing saw Little Sparrow move as well, turning her head to stare at this man; however, he did not notice Little Sparrow.
After the Pill Master surnamed Wang left the Alchemy room and went into the bedroom, not long passed before he came out again.
Afterward, the Pill Master surnamed Wang closed the door, left the courtyard, and walked down the alley.
Seeing this, Little Sparrow quietly took flight and stealthily followed behind him
The Pill Master surnamed Wang, from beginning to end, never noticed..
