Duo Ersun did not have multiple ears; he was an intelligence broker who moved around Yu An Island.
Li Shiming found this lewd-looking Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator with almost no effort. To be honest, when cultivators reached the Nascent Soul Stage, if they were dissatisfied with their appearance during their advancement, they could adjust it anew.
So it was almost impossible to see a lewd-looking Nascent Soul cultivator. A person's looks could be ugly or strange; those were all distinctive traits, a cultivator's mark. But this kind of lewd appearance was truly something no cultivator would like.
Duo Ersun was one of the very few Nascent Soul cultivators who had kept a lewd appearance. When Li Shiming encountered him, he was in the middle of making a deal with someone else.
"Senior, what brings you to Duo Ersun?" Duo Ersun asked, bowing obsequiously to Li Shiming.
A sharp light flickered in Li Shiming's eyes. At such a close distance, Mind Penetration activated on its own. Though it was not easy for Mind Penetration to listen in on the thoughts of a Nascent Soul cultivator, Duo Ersun's realm was lower than Li Shiming's, and his spirit was far, far weaker.
Li Shiming could sense that Duo Ersun had countless thoughts, and one of them particularly needed attention.
Duo Ersun knew him, or had at least heard of him.
The one Duo Ersun knew naturally could not be Li Shiming the Grandmaster Alchemist, nor could it be Great Cultivator Zhao Qingfeng in his original identity. It was the Living Dead Zhao Qingfeng from a few days ago, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator newly arrived on Yu An Island.
Li Shiming also sensed the scent of a conspiracy from Duo Ersun, but he could not perceive the detailed contents of it.
