Only an Unidentified Pottery Jar Remained

When Yun Zihai came in, Xu Bai was preparing to continue the progress bar, and Chu Yu was also preparing to leave the room.

After hearing what Yun Zihai said, Xu Bai put down the book in his hand and asked Yun Zihai to sit down.

"It's not easy to finally get him after so many days." Yun Zihai just sat down and didn't even take a sip of water. The excitement on his face never stopped.

Due to being too excited, he coughed violently and his face became paler.

Xu Bai felt that if things continued like this, he wouldn't be surprised if Yun Zihai coughed up blood out of nowhere one day.

The problem of congenital deficiencies is a particularly serious matter for Yun Zihai.

"Any specific findings?" Xu Bai asked, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"Brother Xu, just come with me. We'll talk as we go. When we get here, we should be almost done talking." Yun Zihai said.

Xu Bai thought about it for a while, without hesitating, and walked towards the outside of Prefectural Office with Yun Zihai. Chu Yu also followed behind. She also wanted to join in the fun.

After leaving Prefectural Office, under the leadership of Yun Zihai, they walked in the direction of Yunlai Prefecture.

Xu Bai took a rough look and didn't see anything.

We walked for about half an hour before we reached our destination.

I have to say that Yunlai Prefecture is indeed very large. For this distance, if it were the previous Sheng County, it would have covered more than half of it, and it has not yet reached the edge.

As we walked, Xu Bai also saw some signs.

The prosperity here is completely different from before.

The location they were in before was considered a relatively prosperous place in Yunlai Prefecture.

There is an endless stream of people coming and going, and there are many vendors selling goods, and the surrounding houses are also exquisite.

But the situation here is completely different. The surrounding houses look a little dilapidated. Although there are vendors selling on both sides of the street, the things on the ground are slightly inferior to those in bustling areas.

And looking at the clothes of the hawkers, they are also very ordinary.

There are patches on the coarse cloth clothes in some places, which makes them look very poor.

"This is a slightly rundown place Yunlai Prefecture. The people here are not from very good families. Compared with where we live, it is far behind." Yun Zihai explained as he walked.

At this time, Xu Bai's eyes suddenly wandered around the street in front of him and saw a person in the corner of the street. His clothes were completely different from the scene here.

This is a young man in his twenties, dressed in brocade clothes.

He walked with his head held high, which seemed incompatible with the poor and dilapidated scene around him.

In such a place, there is a young man in brocade clothes, who looks suspicious.

The young man in brocade clothes was walking on the street, holding a big baggage in his hand. From time to time, he took out some things from the baggage and handed them to the vendors on both sides.

These vendors also accepted it as a matter of course, looking at the young man in brocade with a kind and different atmosphere.

The surrounding vendors are all very young, but they set up stalls here, which shows the living conditions here.

Xu Bai frowned slightly and turned to look at Yun Zihai, with doubt in his eyes.

He didn't ask, because he knew that Lin Zihai would naturally tell him about the current situation.

"He is a direct descendant of the Chen Family. Although he is not a direct descendant of the Chen Family, he is still a direct descendant. He joined Chen Family recently." Yun Zihai explained.

"Oh?" Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. "You joined Chen Family recently, recently?"

He discovered the blind spots.

In the content of the exchange just now, the last two words were highlighted, and they were added recently.

In other words, before this, this young man in Jinyi was not from the Chen Family, or in other words, he had not joined Chen Family.

There are many things here.

"I have already inquired, this person's name is Chen Yan." Yun Zihai explained, "He is one of the Chen Family lineage, an illegitimate son born outside. Originally, he did not intend to recognize him, but the person of this lineage lost another son, and had no choice but to recognize him."

"Before he returned to the Chen Family, Chen Yan had been living on this street with his mother. Growing up, the people on the street took great care of him, so after he was well-fed and well-fed, he would come here from time to time to take care of the people who had helped them."

"Brother Xu, I think this may be the key to our victory."

Having said this, Yun Zihai also looked in the direction of Chen Yan.

"It seems that Brother Yun has already taken advantage of the Ye Family." Xu Bai smiled.

This kind of information is clear to Yun Zihai. In addition, during the recent period, Yun Zihai is actually busy with things in Prefectural Office, but to be so well-informed, someone must be helping him to find out.

Coming to Yunlai Prefecture, Yun Zihai has no background.

Now he found the person who helped him find out the information. Xu Bai quickly thought of the Ye Family. Apart from this, he couldn't think of the second one.

Yun Zihai said, "Thanks to Brother Xu's guidance, I can't live up to Brother Xu's kindness."

It was Xu Bai who pointed him out and said Ye Family was a family he could win over, so he followed this step. Now it seems that the benefits have begun to show.

"Let's get in touch." Xu Bai said, "From the current situation, it seems that the other party is willing to repay. Let's get in touch and see if there is any news."

While the two were chatting, Chen Yan had already walked to the corner of the street, and the baggage in his hand became smaller and smaller, and finally empty.

Everything inside has been distributed. They are not valuable items, but they are all necessary for daily life. For example, rice, flour, grain and oil are all here. The quantity is not much, but for the people in this street, they can eat for a while.

From this point of view, Chen Yan understands this truth very well. If you want to give something valuable, it will have the effect of harboring a treasure.

But if you change your mind and send some daily necessities, you can not only solve immediate needs, but also avoid a lot of trouble.

After delivering the things, Chen Yan put away the wrapping cloth in his hand, turned around, and prepared to go back the way he came.

Although he held his head high when he walked, his eyes were subconsciously looking down. From this small movement, it can be seen that Chen Yan sometimes seems very unconfident.

After just two or three steps, Chen Yan stopped and looked at the three people in front of him, slightly surprised.

"Master Yun?"

Among them, he only knew Yun Zihai. In fact, all members of Yunlai Prefecture's family had already explained Yun Zihai's appearance to all the children in the family.

After all, this is a government order, and many families have done their homework before coming.

Some even planned to establish a good relationship with Yun Zihai in advance, so it is very normal for Chen Yan to know Yun Zihai.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Yun Zihai just nodded slightly and pointed to the street next to him.

On the street, there is a small alley that is unique. It looks lonely and shabby, and not many people pass by.

Chen Yan was obviously stunned and scratched his head, not sure why he met Yun Zihai here.

I don't even know why Yun Zihai suddenly came to him and asked him to go to a remote alley to have a chat.

But the person in front of them had already spoken, so Chen Yan naturally did not dare to say more. He could only turn around and follow them towards the remote alley.

For most people in Yunlai Prefecture, they have never seen what Yun Zihai looks like. After all, Yun Zihai has not been here long.

What the people really care about is not these things, but trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and more about life.

They don't care at all, let alone what the new Lord Fu Ling looks like.

So Chen Yan followed Xu Bai and the others, and the people around them just looked at them.

After a few people walked to a remote alley, Chen Yan turned around, keeping his eyes lowered, and asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Master Yun, I wonder why you came here this time to see this villain?"

Perhaps it was because he had stayed in this street for a long time, but even after returning to the Chen Family, he still maintained this humble look.

Sometimes a person's character is developed from childhood, and the same is true for Chen Yan.

Even if life gets better and he has good food and clothing, his character will still be the same in a short period of time and will not change much.

Yun Zihai turned his attention to the position of Xu Bai and winked, meaning you should ask.

Xu Bai pretended to cough, looked up at the sky, put his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

He is only here to be a helper, not to dominate. At this time, it is better to ask Yun Zihai.

Chu Yu looked left and right, took a step back, and hid behind Xu Bai.

"It's so boring..." Chu Yu thought to himself.

She thought there was something new, but it didn't seem to be much new now.

Seeing Xu Bai's expression, Yun Zihai could only say helplessly, "Are you here delivering grain, oil, rice and noodles every day?"

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, and nodded subconsciously, which was regarded as admission. After he reacted, he couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Sir, I don't seem to have violated the Great Chu Kingdom law, right?"

"That's not true. I just think that you are a grateful person, but what you did is not quite right." Yun Zihai smiled and said, "It solves a temporary need, but this situation is always short-lived. Do you want to completely get them out of the current predicament?"

Chen Yan was in a state of confusion and said dullly, "I do think so, but there is nothing I can do about what you said, Mr. Yun. I don't have such great abilities at all."

What he said was true. He wanted to solve these difficulties, but he didn't have the ability. What he was doing now were just trivial things, just enough to do his little bit.

"You don't, but I do." Yun Zihai said, "I can govern myself now in order to meet the needs of the people's livelihood, but now I need your help."

Chen Yan heard this and became even more confused. "How can a villain help Master Yun when he is alone?"

He is just a person who has just returned to the Chen Family. Before he returned to start a family, he was still a part of it.

"Paper Effigy Technique, have you learned it?" Yun Zihai asked.

Chen Yan nodded. "I have just been exposed to it in the past few days. I have already got started, but I am not very proficient."

"If I tell you that Chen Family now has an unstable factor that will be related to Yunlai Prefecture's crisis, and I need your help, will you be willing?" Yun Zihai continued.

Chen Yan was stunned on the spot. After a while, he regained his composure. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously. "Promise!"

Xu Bai stood nearby and listened to the conversation between the two of them, with no intention of interrupting.

It wasn't until Yun Zihai expressed his thoughts directly that he raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Yun, you did a lot of homework before coming here." Xu Bai thought to himself.

The person in front of me named Chen Yan, after the first contact, gave Xu Bai the feeling that this person is very simple and does not have much thought.

It can even be said that his character is not only not bad, but also very good.

This can be seen from the fact that even after he achieved a life of luxury and good food, he still did not forget to take care of these people who had helped him.

Of course, these are just the superficial things Xu Bai saw. He couldn't see much more deeply. After all, this was his first contact.

Yun Zihai Since he dared to explain it directly, he must have been fully prepared in advance. There is no doubt about this.

A person who can make the emperor feel good must have no problem with strategy.

It's just that Xu Bai feels that Yun Zihai has been in contact with him for a long time, and many times, he has to rely on him in turn.

And this situation indirectly caused Yun Zihai to be completely different from what he showed.

Yun Zihai didn't know that Xu Bai had already thought so much in this short period of time. When he saw that Chen Yan had agreed, he couldn't help but reach out and pat Chen Yan on the shoulder to show his affirmation.

After receiving this affirmative action, Chen Yan became more and more excited for some reason.

"This is Lord Yun!"

The order of the government now has the only important responsibility for him, which makes him feel like God is going to send someone down to this people.

"Brother Xu, shall I start?" Yun Zihai looked at Xu Bai at this time and asked.

Xu Bai nodded and let Yun Zihai start his performance.

When Yun Zihai spoke, Chen Yan followed him subconsciously and quickly saw Xu Bai and Chu Yu.

He was a little surprised. Hearing what Master Yun said just now, it seemed that he should seek this young man's opinion first.

"Hmm... he must be a higher official than Master Yun." Chen Yan thought to himself, and his eyes became more respectful when he looked at Xu Bai.

The person who can make Lord Yun ask for advice is not only a senior official, but he must be more powerful than Lord Yun.

Thinking about this, Chen Yan became even more respectful.

Xu Bai certainly felt this gaze, and he knew very well that this guy must be thinking about something.

But at this time, it is not the key to discuss these.

Yun Zihai spoke again, "Chen Family, have you done anything unusual recently, for example, is it different from before?"

Chen Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There is nothing too abnormal. Everyone is the same as before. Of course, I have only been here for a few days, so I may not know clearly. I can only say what I understand. I just feel that something is wrong with the head of the family."

He had only returned to the Chen Family for a few days, which was why Yun Zihai came to him. After all, the probability of being assimilated was extremely low for someone who had just returned.

"What's wrong with your family head?" Yun Zihai asked with a frown.

"It hasn't changed much from before, and his behavior hasn't changed much, but I can feel that the owner's spirit has become worse and worse." Chen Yan said, wanting to describe it, but after thinking about it for a long time, no adjectives came to mind.

"Not in good spirits, kidney deficiency?" Xu Bai said jokingly.

But as soon as this joke came out, Chen Yan's eyes lit up and he nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, yes, this adult is right. It's just a very hollow feeling."

Xu Bai: "..."

"Apart from this, is there nothing else?" Yun Zihai asked again.

Chen Yan shook his head and said there was nothing else to do.

After all, he had only joined a few days ago, so he could see a lot, which was already pretty good.

"Then you go back first. Remember, you must be careful. If you have any news, tell me in time, but when telling me, you should focus on saving your own life." Yun Zihai saw that Chen Yan couldn't tell anything else, so he gave Chen Yan a task, which was equivalent to planting a nail in the Chen Family.

Chen Yan looked left and right, finally agreed and hurriedly left the street.

After Chen Yan left, there were only three Xu Bai left here.

Chu Yu looked left and right, his face full of doubts, and he scratched his head. "Aren't you worried? If he is someone who has betrayed, wouldn't we be trusting someone else?"

In fact, she had been thinking about this issue just now, and she didn't speak out until Chen Yan left.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "First of all, he has only joined Chen Family for a few days, which can reduce his probability. Secondly, so what, I guess Brother Yun wants to show off his cards directly."

Yun Zihai nodded and said, "Brother Xu is the one who knows me."

Chu Yu still didn't understand. He stared at Xu Bai with big puzzled eyes and a curious expression on his face.

"If not, then we have made a profit. If so, we have not lost much." Xu Bai explained, "If you think about it, after the man in white died in my hands, the other party would have the idea of being exposed, so if he really betrayed us, there would be no loss for us."

Chu Yu nodded in understanding.

After a while, she seemed to feel that she would look stupid if she didn't understand it after having explained it in such detail.

"Oh~ I see~" Chu Yu nodded vigorously, pretending that she knew expressions well.

You have to understand even if you don't understand.

If you follow Xu Bai, you will be rejected if you are too stupid.

"Brother Xu, it seems we just have to wait." Yun Zihai said, "What Chen Yan said just now is that their family leader's health is getting worse day by day, which is probably related to the woman named Red Dust."

Ghost Seven once said before his death that what Red Dust is best at is charm and supplementation.

As for what supplementation is, this is already obvious.

Chen Family's family owner's poor health may also be related to supplementation.

"Go back first, let's wait for the news slowly." Xu Bai said.

Several people did not stop in this small alley and walked towards Yunlai Prefecture.

Next, there was no new news for several days.

Chen Family is very stable and has no intention of taking the lead. It seems that it is afraid of being hit by a violent storm after taking the lead.

Taking advantage of the free time these days, Xu Bai has been staying in Prefectural Office and has not gone out.

He had no other gains, but there was one gain that he had.

After these days of hard work, Nameless Saber Scripture was finally perfected by him, and the progress bar above reached the perfect position.

Looking at the light blue smoke in front of him, Xu Bai showed a satisfied smile.

After the light blue smoke appeared, it slowly gathered and gradually formed a line of text.

[You observe Nameless Saber Scripture and understand Armor Piercing Twenty-Four Styles (disabled).]

When this line of text appeared, it quickly disappeared and new text appeared again.

[Discovered options that can be fused and are being fused.]

[Armor Piercing Twenty-Four Styles (disabled)+Severing and Rupturing Two Styles=Severing Break Three Styles.]

Xu Bai: "..."

This name is really simple and easy to understand, popular and not convoluted.

When the new text appeared, it no longer disappeared, but instead entered Xu Bai's mind.

A large amount of information poured in, and Xu Bai has mastered the subtleties of Severing Break Three Styles.

In addition to the increase in armor-piercing power and the previous ability to seriously injure, the power of the sword technique itself has also grown significantly.

Light blue smoke appeared, gathering into the latest panel.

[Name: Xu Bai.]

[Realm: Fifth Rank Loose Cultivator.]

[Severing Break Three Styles (Level 4): Full level.]

[Inverted Purple Firmament Gale Wind Yin Yang Chaos (Level 5.5): Full level.]

[Maple Leaves Like Rain (Level 2): Full level.]

[Four-Directional Step Technique (Level 3): Full level.]

[Cosmic Shift (Level 4): Full level.]

[Vajra Heart Demon Body (Level 4); full level.]

[Strengthening Kidney Method (Level 4): Full level.]

[Hundred Poisons True Explanation (Level 3): Full level.]

[Comprehension (full level).]

The fourth-level Severing Break Three Styles has no unexpected performance, and Xu Bai has another powerful attack method.

But looking at this skill called Severing Break Three Styles, he had new ideas.

According to previous understanding, the creator of Nameless Saber Scripture divided this book of swords into twenty-four parts and scattered them around the world.

After collecting all the sword scriptures and mastering them, you can step into the first-level realm.

According to the skills Xu Bai has obtained now, there is no mental method. If there is no mental method, how can he step into the first level? So Xu Bai has a conjecture, maybe the latter part contains elements of involving the mind.

But it's still far away now, and he only has three books.

Xu Bai stretched and moved his body, not thinking about Nameless Saber Scripture for the time being.

Compared to Nameless Saber Scripture, he still has work to do now.

There is a Pottery Jar on the table next to it. Above the Pottery Jar, there are complicated patterns, and it is hard to tell what it describes.

This Pottery Jar was obtained from Shadow Courier Station, and it was also the most unknown harvest during the period of Xu Bai.

The so-called unknown means that I don't know what the result will be. I can only look at the progress bar above and guess what skills I will get in the end.

But no matter what, this Pottery Jar gave Xu Bai a lot of expectations.

"There is no news from the Chen Family. It is estimated that he is either stable or holding back some bad moves. He must hurry up and finish the last progress bar." Xu Bai thought.

Thinking of this, while it was still early, he put Pottery Jar in his hand and stared at it intently.

To be honest, the process of liver progress bar is very boring. Only the moment of harvest is the most beautiful time.

After staring for a while, Xu Bai yawned.

For him, the slow growth of the progress bar is the most perfect time.

Watching the progress bar constantly changing, Xu Bai continued tirelessly. Unconsciously, he became fascinated.

At this moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Xu Bai stopped temporarily, raised his head, and looked towards the backyard outside the door.

At the door, Chu Yu poked his head out and looked at Xu Bai nervously, like a kitten that had done something wrong, afraid of being punished.

When she saw Xu Bai staring at her, she quickly retracted her head and prepared to turn around and run away.

"Come back." Xu Bai said calmly.

Perhaps it was because of this period of time that Xu Bai taught every day. He already had a special aura in him, called the majesty of a teacher.

Chu Yu, who was about to run away, immediately stopped after hearing Xu Bai's words, then turned around and walked in from the door with a forced smile on his face.

"Master, I came to see you. I have something to say." Chu Yu mingled his hands together.

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?"

After staying together for a long time, Chu Yu has become more and more normal and is no longer as restrictive as before.

But now, Chu Yu's expression reminded Xu Bai that there might be something important.

"It's like this. My mother asked my cousin to come over, but he didn't go to Yunlai Prefecture. It was at a lake not far from Yunlai Prefecture. I don't know the name. It seemed to be stuck somewhere. He sent me a flying pigeon message." Chu Yu finished speaking in one breath, as if he was afraid that he would be unable to speak if he spoke too slowly.

"Hmm... huh?" Xu Bai was stunned. "Isn't your mother already dead?"

This was what he accidentally heard before, why is it like this again now?

Chu Yu had a dull face. "No, my mother is still alive. She is the head of the Ancient Moon Sword Sect and has important things. The cousin who is here now is from my mother's side."

Xu Bai: "..."

Good guy, it turns out that he listened to half of what I was told and didn't listen to the whole thing.

But this is just a small misunderstanding and the problem is not big.

Soon, the conversation returned to normal.

"You just said that your cousin is in some lake not far from Yunlai Prefecture? What do you mean by stuck?" Xu Bai was a little confused. "Did you encounter some difficulties or encountered an enemy?"

Chu Yu said helplessly, "I don't know. When I was in the palace, my cousin came to see me. He was stuck twice, but he was rescued by people in the palace. This time he suddenly called me, and I don't know how he got stuck."

While talking, Chu Yu also gestured, saying that he didn't know the specific situation.

"Then what he means is to ask you to go over and rescue him." Xu Bai touched his chin and said.

Chu Yu nodded vigorously, indicating that this was indeed the case.

At the end, she added, "My cousin said that he could only come out of there if I passed by."

It was said so mysteriously that Chu Yu couldn't figure out what was going on, so he could only repeat it according to the original words.

"How far is it from Yunlai Prefecture?" Xu Bai asked.

Chu Yu rolled his eyes and roughly considered the distance before replying, "Go northwest. After leaving Yunlai Prefecture, you won't have to walk for long before you arrive."

Xu Bai listened to the distance Chu Yu said and fell into deep thought.

After a while, I came out of my deep thoughts.

"Let's go, I'll go with you." Xu Bai carefully hid Pottery Jar and said.

Again, there is no big problem in collecting money to do things and protecting Chu Yu.

"But we also need people here." Chu Yu said.

Xu Bai smiled and said, "There is only such a small distance, and it won't take much time to go back and forth. Besides, if you really leave, you can deliberately show it off."

There was no lies in what he said.

It only takes so much time to go back and forth. Even if it takes some time in the middle, he will try to control it, not to mention that he can also use it to sell a flaw.

If the other party is not fooled, then he has nothing to lose. If he is fooled, then he will gain blood.

Of course, if it exceeds the control time, he thinks it is more important to come back first.

Chu Yu saw that Xu Bai had said it all, and did not refuse any more. Instead, he was very happy. He took a few steps forward, pulled Xu Bai's sleeves, and said fiercely, "Then let's go now, go early and come back early."

Xu Bai didn't talk nonsense, stood up, and let Chu Yu pull him away.

Before leaving, he also went to find Yun Zihai and told him his itinerary.

Yun Zihai said that it only takes a little time and there is no big problem.

After everything was said and done, Xu Bai took Chu Yu and walked towards the destination.

That unknown lake is not far from Yunlai Prefecture.

There were no obstacles along the way, and we reached our destination easily.

But before that, we have to pass through a forest.

In the woods, the closer he got to the lake, the more Xu Bai felt something was wrong.

Logically speaking, if something is really stuck, there must be at least signs of battle around it.

But now it seems that the surrounding woods are well preserved, and even the grass on the ground is clean.

Not to mention any traces of battle, there are not even traces of people passing by, it's like no one's land.

"Is your cousin really stuck here and encountering difficulties?" Xu Bai looked at the bouncing Chu Yu and asked.

Chu Yu turned around and said, "Yes, he must be stuck. When he was in the palace, his uncle sent people to rescue him. Moreover, his uncle also said that if he didn't send people there, he might still be stuck there for the rest of his life."

Stuck for life?

Xu Bai The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he thought of something bad.

lake? stuck?

Why is it stuck? Xu Bai grinned and looked at the surrounding scenery that was as quiet as a paradise. The suspicion in his heart deepened.

The two continued walking without saying anything during the process. When they passed through the woods, a small lake appeared in front of them.

As expected of a lake whose name I don't even know, this lake is pitifully small.

And in the middle of the lake, this leaf stayed.

A young man in blue clothes stood on the leaves with his feet floating on the water.

The sky-blue water is like a mirror, and the young man is floating on the water. This artistic conception is quite fitting.

The young man carried a long sword on his back. Although the long sword was not unsheathed, it felt sharp and sharp.

In Xu Bai's opinion, none of this is the most important.

The most important thing is this man's hands.

When Xu Bai looked at the young man's hands, he finally understood why this man was stuck on the lake.
