Chapter 37: The Secret of the Ugly Gang
Qin Shou walked back to Shui Lan and looked at the third man standing in the distance without making any movements. He was a little confused. After scanning this man with his soul consciousness several times, Qin Shou frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency seems to be on a different path from those two people. Your soul power has stagnated slightly. Could it be that you were controlled by those two people?" Qin Shou asked.
The man seemed to hesitate for a moment, then clasped his fist at Qin Shou: "Young Master Huiyan, I have indeed been sealed with a trace of soul consciousness and controlled by those two people."
"Oh? As far as I know, it is impossible to seal human soul consciousness without the strength of a soul master, unless you are willing."
"Indeed, those two men robbed my wife and children, and forced me to seal my soul, so that I could do no evil with them. All the valuables they robbed are here with me, and I will give them all
I offer it with both hands, and I only ask the young master to return the soul crystal to me."
"You are also a five-soul soul cultivator. How did you end up in such a situation? The tall guy was killed by me. The soul crystal must be on the bald man. You can find it yourself."
"Thank you, Master!" After saying that, the man threw a big baggage over and rushed towards the bald body like flying.
When the baggage flew close to Qin Shou and Qin Shou, they were suddenly shocked! They immediately looked at each other!
"Wait!" Qin Shou said to the man.
The man's body stiffened, he turned around and looked at Qin Shou timidly and said: "I have no ill intentions towards you two. Even if I regain my complete cultivation, I will never be an opponent with the master's magical power. I hope you will be merciful.
I, Ling Fei, swear that I will never tell anyone about what I saw and heard today."
Qin Shou shook his head and sighed: "You are a five-soul soul cultivator, how can you behave like this? It seems that they are not just using you as a thug and follower."
"Don't worry, since you are also a victim, I will not take action against you. I just want to ask you something. After you find the soul crystal, come over and I will ask you something."
"Yes!" After saying that, Ling Fei immediately started searching.
Soon, Ling Fei found the soul crystal, took it in his hand happily, and came to Qin Shou.
"I just want to ask you one thing, where did this thing come from?"
Qin Shou raised his hand and held an item he took out from the baggage. It was a jade plaque that was shining with seven colors of light. It read - the seven major families are reunited, and the world is reversed!
"This is my family heirloom. The two of them have seen it before, but there is nothing special about it. They saw that I have been carrying it so they didn't take it away. But why is it flashing with colorful lights?"
"Your name is Ling Fei? Are there any elders in the family?"
"Elder? I was adopted by a family when I was a child, so I only know that this jade plaque is a family heirloom, and I don't know anything else. Since then, I have been filial to my adoptive father and adopted mother until I grow old. I have no intention of getting into trouble, so I live far away in Shuixun with my wife and children.
In a small town on the outskirts of the city. Until one day when I was kidnapped by the two gang leaders when I was out, does the young master know my life experience?!"
"Water Soul City!" Qin Shou pondered for a while.
"Ling Fei, I do know a little bit about this jade plaque. Your life experience should be related to the Lord of Water Soul City."
"What!" Ling Fei was shocked.
"I'll put this jade token here for now. I hope you can regain control of the Ugly Man Gang after you go back, but don't act arrogantly. You must be patient and cautious, investigate your life experience as much as possible, and wait for the day when I go to find you.
"
"Okay! Since the young master knows about the jade plaque, he must be someone related to my ancestors. Everything is up to the young master."
"It shouldn't be a problem to control the Ugly Gang?"
"Don't worry, young master. Even though those two people seem to be vicious, in fact they don't dare to provoke the big family at all. They just gathered some soul cultivators to harass the residents of the small town. They should have been killed long ago. Only two of the remaining gang members are four souls.
Soul cultivators, and they are also controlled like me, and the soul crystals have also been found. I will return them to them when I get back, and I believe they will not be against me."
Qin Shou nodded: "In addition, how much do you know about the robbery of us? Is Qiancaoju involved?"
"It is true that the shopkeeper of Qiancaoju met these two people, but it was the shopkeeper's own doing. Or it was the Qi family behind Qiancaoju who had given instructions, I don't know."
Qin Shou frowned and said: "You pick out a few Horcruxes from this baggage and melt them into your body for self-defense. In addition, take away these crystal cards and leave the rest with me. I may also give these Horcruxes to you."
Bring disaster, remember to put safety first in everything. With your strength and soul consciousness intact, you should return to Water Soul City without any hindrance, and set off immediately."
Ling Fei bowed deeply, turned around and rushed out of the valley.
Qin Shou looked at Shui Lan and said: "It seems that Ling Fei is the only remaining descendant of the family of the first city lord of Water Soul City. Fortunately, the jade token is not lost or damaged. You can find him to stay in Water Soul City in the future.
.”
With a shake of his hand, the baggage spread out, and Qin Shou and Shui Lan looked at what was left inside.
The sword-shaped soul weapon thrown by the bald gang leader was taken away by Ling Fei. He also took a life-saving bracelet and a piece of armor. Apart from some practical items, there were only two items left that looked quite valuable.
.
The first item was a tuning fork. Qin Shou was stunned when he saw it. He immediately took out the tuning fork he had obtained by killing Jin Pingping on the island and compared it. It was exactly the same, exactly the same, composed of two clear black and white pieces.
Is there a set of these things? I just don’t know how many there are in total and what they are used for. He shook his head and put the ring away.
The second item is an inconspicuous short whip. The whip body glows with blue light and the whip handle has a slight green light. It should obviously be the object of the water and wood soul power. Immediately inject the water soul power into it, the whip will immediately become longer.
He got up, and when he activated it with the power of the wood soul, he felt a surge of vitality pouring into the whip. It should be able to repair itself, and it was a good Horcrux. It happened that Shui Lan only had one Horcrux, so Qin Shou handed over the whip.
Integrated into the bloodline with Shui Lan.
The two of them left the valley and did not return to Huohun City. Since Qiancaoju had already targeted them, they naturally could not go back. Liangzi could only wait and report later. He randomly found a small town near Huohun City.
After seeing how late it was, he stayed in the town and planned to charter a carriage from the town to Muhun City the next day.
After a day's journey, Qin and Shou finally saw a towering dark green city wall from a distance. After another hour, they finally came closer. It turned out that the Wood Soul City was completely surrounded by various vines, and the entire city was surrounded by vines.
The city wall seemed to be covered with a dark green carapace, like a giant tree turtle lying at the foot of Liancang Mountain.
Naturally, when the two high-level soul cultivators entered the city, no one came forward to question them. As soon as they entered the city, Qin Shou immediately knew that he had guessed right. There were more soul cultivators in the Wood Soul City than in the Fire Soul City. The streets in the east city were all crowded.
Even the five soul cultivators can be seen everywhere, and the soul cultivators who come here to hunt and kill soul beasts are even more unimaginable.
Finally, he found an inn near the South City Gate. There was only one room left that had a musty smell. Qin Shou arrived in time. Immediately, someone else came in and asked about the room. He didn't dare to hesitate, and he didn't ask how much it cost.
, settled quickly.
After everything was tidied up, the two of them sat down and breathed a sigh of relief. They finally arrived at Wood Soul City.
Qin Shou looked at Shui Lan and said, "After a day's rest, I will go out to inquire about the Murong family tomorrow to see if there is any chance of sneaking in."
"I'll go with you!" Shui Lan said immediately.
"Oh, I have a cloak that can cover up my soul power, so it won't cause any trouble. But you have the blood of the Murong family. If you go there rashly, you will be able to alert the snake if you are discovered."
"Then...well, be careful yourself."
"Don't worry, with my strength, if something happens, escaping shouldn't be a problem."
Qin Shou left the inn early the next morning, but returned less than two hours later. Shui Lan asked strangely: "What happened? Why did you come back so soon?"
Qin Shou motioned Shui Lan to sit down, and then said: "This Wood Soul City is now filled with a large number of high-level soul cultivators, so with our current cultivation levels, it is unlikely that we will sneak into the Murong family. There is no shortage of elders in the family.
"
"What should we do?" Shui Lan asked, looking at Qin Shou who was not in a hurry.
"This Wood Soul City is a little different from other main cities. It may be that the city lord's palace is better at alchemy, or there is a source of some kind of spiritual grass. Anyway, the status of the alchemist here is very high, and the Murong family recruits high-level alchemists all the year round.
Master, if the elixir you refine can catch the eyes of the Murong family, you can be recruited into the Jin Murong family, and your status is even higher than the five soul cultivators of the Murong family, second only to the soul master."
"If you can master high-quality soul-enhancing pills, it will be possible for you to sneak into the Murong family?" Shui Lan's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, I hope the refining can be successful."
Qin Shou took Shui Lan out of the inn and found a small shop to buy a few soul crystals that sealed the souls of good human level first-level soul beasts. As expected, they were only slightly taller than the blank soul crystals. It seemed that there were soul beasts appearing in Lian Cang Mountain.
The price of soul crystals has also hit rock bottom. After briefly asking where there is an alchemy room that can be rented, the shop owner immediately looked at the two of them with strange eyes. It turns out that this wooden soul city has a huge alchemy hall, which is specifically open to soul cultivators.
, after asking about the location, the two of them went there excitedly.
When they arrived at the central square of the city, the two of them didn't need to search at all. This Wood Soul City is indeed focused on alchemy. There is no arena in the square in front of the tower, but a huge one-story building like the Fire Soul City, which is almost full.
