With that thought, Yang An glanced at the Muckworm Child beside him and asked in a low voice, frowning, "Did your True Person also invite a female cultivator?"

"Reporting to fellow cultivator, we children did not receive any orders from the True Person. Apart from fellow cultivator Yang An, we have not apprehended any other cultivators."

This Muckworm Child seemed a bit slow-witted, answering whatever Yang An asked.

It seemed it had nothing to do with the Mother Diviner True Person.

Yang An nodded and then looked at the anxious and worried Pan Shi.

"Fellow cultivator Pan, don't worry, I'll help you look again."

As long as she was still on this island, they should be able to find her. People don't just disappear for no reason.

He then turned to the Muckworm Child beside him.

"Please help us, child. Look for a female cultivator named Pan Yu."

Immediately after, Yang An described Pan Yu's appearance and clothing to the Muckworm Child.

These Muckworm Children could see the true appearance of every cultivator on the island, just like him. Having more people would make the search easier.

The Muckworm Child immediately agreed and went to inform the other children.

Soon, Yang An and Pan Shi began searching for Pan Yu's whereabouts. Under Yang An's instructions, the Muckworm Children also sprang into action, searching every part of the island.

Pan Shi was quite surprised by Yang An's ability to command these children.

He had requested their help before, but they had flatly refused.

Although these children were responsible for receiving the cultivators attending the Communal Feast Convention, they were not to be ordered around by these cultivators.

This further elevated Pan Shi's perception of Yang An's status and background.

However, these were trivial matters at the moment. The priority was to find his junior sister, Pan Yu.

They searched for a full hour. With the help of the Muckworm Children, they had scoured almost every accessible area on the entire island, but found nothing.

Pan Yu had vanished as if she had evaporated into thin air, disappearing without a trace.

This outcome struck Yang An as very strange.

If she wasn't captured by the Mother Diviner True Person and wasn't on the island, where could she have gone?

Could she have flown into the sky?

He couldn't help but glance at the sky above the island. It was completely obscured by a thick layer of mist, making it impossible to see anything.

Pan Shi was becoming increasingly worried. If his junior sister met with misfortune, he, as her senior brother, would be held responsible and could not face their master or senior uncle. He would never forgive himself.

At this moment, Yang An seemed to have thought of something and quickly turned to ask Pan Shi:

"Fellow cultivator Pan, when I was away and before Fellow Cultivator Pan Yu disappeared, did you interact with anyone else?"

People don't disappear for no reason. Pan Yu was only in the Resonance Stage, not even considered a true cultivator, and she wouldn't have the ability to leave this place on her own.

Therefore, Yang An firmly believed that Pan Yu's sudden disappearance must have been due to human intervention. Who they had interacted with afterward was crucial.

However, upon hearing Yang An's question, Pan Shi pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

After Yang An suddenly disappeared, the two of them had been searching for him and hadn't interacted with any other cultivators.

No one?

Upon receiving Pan Shi's answer, Yang An fell into deep thought.

Given that the Mother Diviner True Person didn't have the leisure to do such a thing, and that Pan Shi and his junior sister hadn't interacted with any other cultivators after his disappearance.

Then, who else could they have encountered before he went missing?

With this thought, Yang An suddenly looked up. There was indeed such a person, and he had even seen him while searching the island earlier!

That guy!

"Fellow cultivator Pan, come with me quickly!"

The more Yang An thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He called out to Pan Shi and quickly merged into the crowd, heading towards the place he had inadvertently glimpsed earlier.

Seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, Pan Shi followed closely without a word.

Soon, Yang An navigated through the crowd and finally stopped in front of a stall.

Following him here, it was clear Yang An was heading for the cultivator at this stall, but Pan Shi seemed a bit confused.

The cultivator meditating behind the stall was someone he didn't seem to recognize.

What is Fellow Cultivator Yang trying to do?

Trusting Yang An, Pan Shi suppressed his doubts and didn't ask any questions, just watched from the side.

At this moment, Yang An saw the cultivator behind the stall and became even more certain it was this guy!

He even changed his entire attire. Was he afraid of being recognized?

Black Brow!

The meditating cultivator behind the stall was the snake daoist that Yang An and the other two had encountered by the Xi Yue River before entering this island.

Shortly after they entered the island, this Black Brow Daoist left ahead of them, and they hadn't encountered him again since.

If there was anyone else they had interacted with and spent some time with, it would only be this Black Brow Daoist.

Upon seeing Yang An and Pan Shi appear, although the mist obscured their faces, Black Brow recognized their attire.

A strange expression flickered across the ferocious snake head of the Black Brow Daoist, as if he hadn't expected them to show up here.

However, in the blink of an eye, he returned to his usual demeanor.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a look. If there's anything you fancy, we can discuss it."

But what he didn't know was that Yang An had clearly seen his expression and was now absolutely certain.

This guy hadn't just changed his clothes; he had also disguised himself, even altering his voice to sound like a human cultivator.

If Yang An hadn't been unaffected by the Illusionary Insect Corpse and could see his true appearance directly, coupled with the fact that his conspicuous, ferocious snake head wasn't disguised.

He might not have been able to identify this person as the Black Brow Daoist who entered with them from anywhere else.

This guy probably thought he was hiding well, right?

Yang An glanced at Black Brow, then at the stall in front of him.

The items he was selling were somewhat miscellaneous: two bottles of elixirs, a few spiritual items, and several black stones.

Besides Yang An and the other person, a few other cultivators were also stopping by the stall.

One cultivator seemed curious about those black stones.

"Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

He pointed at the stones and asked.

"These are Vitality Replenishing Stones. They only need to be activated with vital blood to continuously supplement the user's pháp lực, so you don't have to worry about pháp lực depletion for a short period.

There are four Vitality Replenishing Stones here, classified as Dīng, Gēng, Xīn, and Rén. The Dīng-grade Vitality Replenishing Stone can supplement the pháp lực for cultivators in the early False Eater Realm, while the Rén-grade can only be used by those in the early Origin Feeder Realm.

If you're interested, Fellow Daoist, you can exchange them for any equivalent item. Everything is negotiable."

Black Brow earnestly explained to the curious cultivator, showing no signs of any flaws.

Vitality Replenishing Stones?

Although Yang An had found Black Brow, he hadn't yet figured out how to find clues about Pan Yu's disappearance from him.

Bluntly exposing him might have the opposite effect, so he pretended to be interested in the item as well.

Like the cultivator next to him, Yang An casually picked up a stone, intending to test it.

But the next moment, the information box that suddenly appeared made Yang An freeze.

[Flesh Beast Yuan Replenishing Stone: Created by the snake Daoist Black Brow, made using the "Three Veins Transformation Technique." It seals a living being within a pressure-relief stone, providing the user with a continuous supply of pháp lực until the life essence of the creature within is depleted and it perishes.

Cost of Use: The Vitality Replenishing Stone shatters upon depletion, and the user will also lose a portion of their lifespan, which is transferred to the snake Daoist Black Brow.

Status: Purifiable!]
