They had originally planned to leave Gucheng in the near future, but suddenly they heard someone saying that they had seen the woman in the portrait. Even with Zhou Fan's identity and determination, he couldn't help but be shocked.

There is no way, this matter is too important, and Zhou Fan also knows very well that if he can find Qin Shuirou, the benefits it can bring to him are simply unimaginable. It is even possible that he Zhou Fan

Fandu can jump over the dragon gate and directly go to work in the Holy Palace.

Although with Zhou Fan's cultivation level, he can only be a deacon when he goes to the Holy Palace, but he has the status of an elder in the Baimo Holy Sect, but the difference between the deacon of the Holy Palace and the elder of the Baimo Holy Sect is

I’m afraid everyone knows who is the noble one.

Take the deacon of the Holy Palace who is in charge of the Baimo Holy Sect this time. He is only at the Dao King level. But just because he is the deacon of the Holy Palace, even the leader of the Baimo Holy Sect does not dare to do anything when he sees it.

This is the advantage of being in a powerful sect. You should not look at the face of the monks but also the face of the Buddha.

As we all know, from top to bottom, the Holy Palace has ancestors, saints, saints, elders, and deacons. Only people with semi-saint cultivation can serve as elders. Needless to say, deacons are relatively complicated.

In the Holy Palace, there are many deacons, and their cultivation levels range from the Dao King Realm to the Dao Emperor Realm. You can become a deacon at the Dao King Realm, and you can also become a deacon at the Dao Emperor Realm.

Under normal circumstances, there are two main sources of deacons in the Holy Palace. One is from external recruitment. After a series of assessments, one can become a deacon of the Holy Palace, and the other is from disciples who are promoted.

There are clear regulations in the Holy Palace. Once a disciple reaches the age and does not meet the standard of talent, he will be turned into a deacon and be responsible for some chores in the Holy Palace.

However, although the deacons of the Holy Palace have both Dao Emperor and Dao King realms, you don’t need to think about it to know that the treatment between the two is very different. The treatment of one Dao Emperor realm deacon is enough to be worth ten Dao King realms.

Deacon's treatment.

Zhou Fan knows something about the Holy Palace, so he knows very well that if he can really find Qin Shuirou, then he will be crazy. Think about it, if he can enter the Holy Palace and become a deacon, he will definitely be

With such a soaring pace, even if he sees a current saint like the leader of the Baimo Saint Sect, Zhou Fan will be completely unafraid.

With the excitement in the man's heart, Zhou Fan looked at the disciple in front of him with excitement and nervousness, and asked again, "Do you think anyone has seen the woman in the portrait? Come on, tell me the details."

Not daring to be careless at all, Zhou Fan immediately ordered the disciple to tell the matter in detail. Seeing this, the disciple did not dare to hide it and told the matter truthfully.

According to what this disciple said, they were responsible for visiting Gucheng these days. Although the Gu family had not seen the woman in the portrait, it was obviously impossible for Zhou Fan and the others to give up the search just because of the Gu family's words, so

, since arriving in Gucheng, Zhou Fan sent people to start searching in the city.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Fan himself had no hope.

However, during the past few days of visits, the disciple in front of me came to the home of an alchemist living in Gucheng today. As usual, this disciple showed Qin Shuirou's portrait to the alchemist.

Look, I thought it was all in vain, but who would have thought that after staring at the portrait for a long time, the alchemist actually said that he seemed to have seen this woman before.

As soon as these words came out, the disciple was immediately stunned, and he did not dare to hesitate. He immediately returned with the alchemist and reported the situation to Zhou Fan.

He told Zhou Fan what happened in detail without any falsehoods. After listening to the disciple's words, Zhou Fan said with a solemn expression.

"Where is this alchemist now?"

"Just in the front yard." The disciple replied.

"Bring him to see me quickly." Zhou Fan said.

Since the alchemist said he had seen the woman in the portrait, Zhou Fan naturally wanted to see her in person. After the initial shock and excitement, Zhou Fan also forced himself to calm down. Now is not the time to be happy.

Before seeing Qin Shuirou in person, no conclusion can be drawn.

Urging the disciple to bring the alchemist to see him, the disciple immediately exited the courtyard, but soon returned, but this time, behind him was an old man with gray hair.

This person should be the alchemist.

After bringing the person there, Zhou Fan sent the disciple away, and then looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him. Zhou Fan said to the old man in a gentle manner.

"Old man, please sit down."

To be so polite to an old man, Zhou Fan was naturally not doing this because the old man was an alchemist. To put it bluntly, whether this old man's cultivation or alchemy level was not enough for Zhou Fan to take seriously, the reason why he was so polite was,

It was entirely because the old man might know clues about Qin Shuirou that Zhou Fan was very polite to him.

He personally asked the old man to sit down. The two sat opposite each other in the courtyard. Zhou Fan tried his best to remain calm and said with a gentle smile on his face.

"Old man, have you seen the woman in this portrait?"

Zhou Fan also held a portrait of Qin Shuirou in his hand, pointed at it and asked the old man. Upon hearing this, the old man nodded, and then said with some anxiety.

"I have indeed seen this woman, but when I looked at her portrait, although her appearance was exactly the same, her expression was completely different, so I am not sure." After hearing this, the old man said truthfully.

The appearance is the same, but the temperament is completely different. When he heard this, a strange color flashed in Zhou Fan's eyes, but he could not give up as long as he had clues. Therefore, Zhou Fan was still going to go in person and meet the person the old man mentioned first.

Thinking of this, Zhou Fan also asked the old man, "Does the old man know where this woman is now? Or where did the old man see this woman?"

"This woman is in the Gu family. A month ago, on the order of Mr. Gu Le, I went to the Gu family to treat a patient who I thought was seriously injured. She is the woman in this portrait. But unfortunately, my state of mind was too low and I couldn't get up in the end.

What effect does it have?" the old man said truthfully.

As a well-known alchemist in Gucheng, this old man was invited by Gu Le to treat Qin Shuirou more than a month ago. However, Qin Shuirou's injury was very serious at that time, so this

The old man had no choice but to apologize and leave. Then, Gu Le found a well-known alchemist from another city, and this was how he saved Qin Shuirou's life.

But it was because of that time that the old man met Qin Shuirou, and it was precisely because of this that Zhou Fan got clues about Qin Shuirou.

I'm afraid even Gu Le himself didn't expect that he would actually forget that this old man had come to treat Qin Shuirou.
