Chapter 441 Investigation Return to Valley (12)
In the Yunmiao Mountain Patriarch Hall, dim light fell, and an old man with white beard and hair moved his eyelids slightly and opened his cloudy eyes.
His eyes seemed to have no focus as he looked at the two soul stones on the stone wall.
One of the two soul stones is located at a high place, while the other is at a low place. At this time, both of them have dimmed their brilliance.
"Hmph! Zhang Da Bang, you are finally dead! If my ancestor hadn't cared about the friendship back then, how could I have allowed you to live freely until now!"
The old man sneered, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"However, five real people have died in succession recently, which is very abnormal. I wonder if the investigation into the deaths of the previous four people has revealed anything."
As he murmured, the old man's eyelids drooped, and he soon became silent.
In Huolinguan, in a main hall of the war hall, several real people were frowning.
"Everyone, we can't wait around. Now the clues are broken. If we want to find new clues, we can only invite these suspects for interrogation."
A real man with a purple complexion and an ugly appearance slapped a piece of paper in his hand on the table and said in a loud voice.
This piece of paper was clearly a list with a dozen names written on it, and Yu Guihai's name was clearly on the list.
"To put it lightly, most of these suspects have extraordinary identities. Who are you going to interrogate?" Another Taoist with a three-strand beard chuckled.
"Hmph! What are their identities? The death of four real people in Huolinguan has attracted the attention of the higher authorities. Who dares not to cooperate?" The ugly Taoist snorted coldly.
Then, he stretched out his finger and clicked on a name on the list, and said grimly: "If you want me to start with this person, this person successfully broke through the Zi Mansion shortly after joining the sect. He has a close relationship with Master Feng and Master Huoyun. , and even has a relationship with Yun Xiao. Moreover, this person was also at Huolin Pass before the incident."
"Tch! You also know that Junior Brother Yu has a close relationship with Huo Yun and others. Feng Nie and Huo Yun also helped him obtain the Zifu Pill, and the Yunxiao Yun family also cares about Junior Brother Yu's family. Plus. What reason did he have to kill so many people? Besides, how could this guy just break through the Zi Mansion and kill four old masters?"
The long-bearded Taoist shook his head and refuted.
"Changmao, I think you are deliberately looking for trouble." The ugly Taoist said angrily.
"Choubi, I think it's you who is looking for trouble. You can't reason with me, so you're just messing around." The long-bearded Taoist said forcefully without any fear.
"Okay, okay, two senior brothers, listen to me."
At this time, a middle-aged Taoist with an elegant appearance and a whisk in his hand was smiling and trying to smooth things over. If Yu Guihai were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person is none other than Master Wu Wu Lingyun.
"snort!"
"Huh!" The two snorted coldly and stopped arguing.
"Haha, everyone, I did find some other clues." Master Wu smiled and took out a piece of yellow paper with small characters written on it.
"What clue?" Others asked with a hint of hope.
"The clues I found are not those of the murderer, but some secret incidents involving Huo Yun and the other four over the years." Wu Zhenren said unhurriedly.
"Junior brother, please stop showing off and speak quickly." An impatient real person urged impatiently.
Master Wu was not annoyed. He smiled faintly, raised the yellow paper in his hand, and said: "This is the file that I have investigated for the past ten years. I found that there are eight real people who have disappeared in Huolinguan in the past ten years, four of them are... I’m familiar with Huo Yun and the other four.”
"What kind of clue is this? The important place of Huolin Pass is full of dangers, and real people are not safe. I know more than a dozen real people who have died." The ugly Taoist sneered.
"How many people died for unknown reasons?" Wu Zhenren asked.
"Huh? That's not true. They all died in battles with monsters." The ugly Taoist replied in shock.
The other people thought about it and realized that it was indeed very suspicious.
"That's right! So, I think this matter is not simple." Wu Zhenren said seriously.
"Okay, let's investigate according to this clue. Then we will first investigate the four Huo Yun people to see if they are clean." The real person who led him had been silent for a long time, and now he made the final decision.
Seeing everyone's agreement, Wu Zhenren secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the dim cave, Yu Guihai's face was solemn, and his hands continued to play various mysterious magic formulas. The spiritual power turned into pale yin fire and continuously merged into the black liquid suspended in the sky.
He was refining the Yinfu Pill, and this liquid was made from the auxiliary materials of the Yinfu Pill using a special technique.
Suddenly, Yu Guihai gave a soft drink, stretched out his hand to grab and throw, and threw a bound spirit ghost into the dark liquid.
Then, his hands were like butterflies piercing flowers, waving countless phantoms, and the yin fire in the air was strong, tightly wrapping the pitch black liquid.
A ferocious grimace kept emerging from the liquid, wailing and struggling to get out, but the liquid seemed to have extremely strong viscosity, making it impossible to escape at all.
After a long time, Yu Guihai shook his hands, and the jet-black liquid suddenly exploded. Countless jet-black liquids shot out in all directions, and bottomless holes were shot through the hard stone walls.
A dark elixir the size of an egg was left in the air. A vivid and ferocious grimace appeared on the surface of the elixir, but at this time, the grimace no longer had any ghostly energy fluctuations.
"The Pill of Hell, it's done!"
A smile appeared on the corner of Yu Guihai's mouth, he stretched out his hand to pinch the Yinfu Pill, checked it, and nodded with satisfaction.
This Yinfu Pill is of good quality, and it is of top grade. For him, its effect is comparable to that of four or five Purple Palace Pills of the same level.
He checked his own spiritual power and found that he had consumed one-fiftieth of it.
It was a lot of consumption, because his spiritual power was two thousand times that of the cultivators of the same level, and one-fiftieth of it was equivalent to the total spiritual power of twenty cultivators of the same level.
However, it takes other cultivators several months to refine Purple Palace Pills. Alchemists need to continuously maintain the consumption of spiritual power, replenish it when it is exhausted, and continue to refine it after replenishment. The total amount of spiritual power consumed is far more than that of Yu Guihai's Yinfu Pill.
Yu Guihai's one-time refinement also consumes more spiritual power.
In addition, although the Yinfu Pill is of a higher level than the Yinqi Pill, the Yinqi Pill is a pill that is specially used to store and replenish its own spiritual power. It absorbs a large amount of spiritual power and stores it during the refining process, so the spiritual power consumed in refining the Yinfu Pill is far less than that of refining the Yinqi Pill.
With the Yinfu Pill in hand, Yu Guihai was not in a hurry to take it to improve his cultivation. After all, he had some psychological barriers to this thing, so he planned to carefully investigate it and confirm that there was no problem before taking it.
In the Golden River Valley, the tall fortress gate was closed. This place was different from the mortal world. The city gate needed to be opened during the day for people to enter and exit. There were no ordinary people inside and outside the city except for the warriors and monks guarding the city, so there was no need for ordinary city gates.
On this day, a black flat boat flew from a distance and stopped outside the city wall restriction. He took out a purple token and waved it, and the monk on duty on the city wall opened a small door.
Yu Guihai urged the flat boat to fly in!
