Three more days later, support from the Wang Family arrived.
Li Yuan was drawing symbols in the shop when he heard some noise outside.
Several auras approached quickly from the south, the speed was not slow, and their cultivation levels ranged from Qi Refining Fifth Layer to Qi Refining Eighth Layer. The leading aura was thick and steady, with an obvious sense of oppression.
Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement.
Li Yuan put down Talisman Brush, walked to the door and took a look outside.
Six people walked along the dirt road, all dressed in gray and white clothes, and walking in uniform steps.
The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, tall, with broad shoulders and a square face.
There is a long knife hanging on his waist, and the scabbard is engraved with the pattern Wang Family.
Captain Guard Squad of Qinghe Marketplace.
Wang Lu followed the team, the fatigue on his face finally subsided a little.
Captain Wang led the people into the settlement without saying anything, and walked directly to the Wang Shop store.
Wang Lu walked in first and waved to Li Yuan: "The captain wants to see you and Old Sun."
Old Sun came out of the back room and didn't even have time to wipe off the powder on his hands.
Captain Wang walked into the shop, glanced around the room, and then looked at Li Yuan and Old Sun.
"Close the door and say."
Wang Lu closed the door panel of the shop to block the view from outside. The several guards brought by Captain Wang dispersed to the outside of the shop and stood at a distance, as if they were watching out or wandering around.
There were only four people left in the room: Captain Wang, Wang Lu, Li Yuan and Old Sun.
Captain Wang moved a stool and sat down, putting his hands on his knees and getting straight to the point. "You all know about Uncle Qu. Let me go over the situation first. If you have anything to add, feel free to tell me."
He looked at Wang Lu, who nodded.
"Before Uncle Qu's accident, he was carrying a Spirit Origin Fruit in his hand."
Old Sun frowned slightly, obviously it was the first time he heard about Spirit Origin Fruit.
Li Yuan looked calm and did not speak.
"Uncle Qu used Spirit Origin Fruit as bait in an attempt to lure the leader of Bandit Cultivator into taking the bait. But he fell into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. He chased him out and never came back."
Captain Wang's tone was very calm, like a verified report in Chen Shu.
"Soul Tablet is broken into pieces, and the person must be dead. Spirit Origin Fruit will most likely fall into the hands of the other party."
He paused.
"The leader of Bandit Cultivator is Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, who has been active in Secret Realm Perimeter before. Behind this person is probably the support of the Li Family, or simply a person from the Li Family. On the day of Uncle Qu's accident, a monk from the Li Family appeared on the hillside. The timing was too coincidental."
Captain Wang's eyes swept over Li Yuan.
Li Yuan knew that he was waiting for him to add.
"After Uncle Qu chased them out, I waited on the hillside for a while. Then four Li Family people came from the northeast, so I withdrew." Li Yuan said, the same as what he said to Wang Lu before.
Captain Wang hummed and did not ask further questions.
"Spirit Origin Fruit is in the hands of Bandit Cultivator. If Bandit Cultivator wants to use it, it must find someone Alchemy."
Captain Wang turned the topic to the main point, "Spirit Origin Fruit is the core material of Origin Breaking Pill, so the leader of Bandit Cultivator has already gathered the materials."
"To practice Origin Breaking Pill, you need Foundation Establishment Realm or above to practice Alchemist. Within a few hundred miles of Secret Realm Perimeter, there is only one person who can practice this kind of Medicinal Pill."
"Alchemist He." Wang Lu answered.
Captain Wang nodded. "So from now on, pay attention to the movements of Alchemist He. Write down who comes in and out, what they bring, and how long they stay."
Li Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Didn't Wang Family also plan to find Alchemist He Alchemy before?"
Captain Wang glanced at him.
"What Wang Family needs to refine is Qi-Gathering Essence Pill, which is not the same thing as Origin Breaking Pill. Qi-Gathering Essence Pill's main material does not require Spirit Origin Fruit." Captain Wang said.
"But Alchemist He had something to do temporarily, and Alchemy's time was postponed. Now that he's here Secret Realm Perimeter, the matter has to be discussed again."
"Wang Lu." Captain Wang turned to look at Wang Lu.
"Go and get in touch with Alchemist He and finalize the matter of Qi-Gathering Essence Pill. By the way, check his tone and see what orders he has taken recently. Don't be too direct. Alchemist He is a very smart person. He will not be happy if you ask too many questions."
Wang Lu nodded in agreement.
Captain Wang turned to Li Yuan: "Are you still making Spirit-Refining Talisman for Alchemist He?"
"Yes, thirty-five in ten days, and there are two days left."
"Okay. Keep doing what Talisman Making is doing, don't stop. You have more opportunities to come into contact with Alchemist He than we do. Pay attention to the situation in his yard when you send charms and collect materials."
Li Yuan nodded.
After Captain Wang finished talking about Alchemist He, he took out a wooden sign from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"One more thing."
His tone changed, becoming more formal than before.
"Li Family has been coming in and out of the Secret Realm frequently recently, not just one or two people, but in groups. We need to know what they are doing inside."
Captain Wang looked at Li Yuan.
"Have you ever entered Secret Realm?"
"No."
"The situation inside the Secret Realm is complicated, there are many Demon Beast, the terrain is changeable, and there are many conflicts between monks."
"But your cultivation and ability are sufficient in Qi Refining Late Stage, and you have the means to gather breath, so you are more suitable for doing this kind of thing than others."
Captain Wang pushed the wooden sign in front of Li Yuan.
"The mission is very simple: enter Secret Realm, find the area where Li Family monks are active, figure out what they are doing, and bring out the information."
"Where's the reward?" Li Yuan asked.
"There are two ways to bring out important information."
Captain Wang raised two fingers, "First, cancel the contract, Wang Family will be released, and you will be free from now on. Second, officially join Wang Family, no longer a peripheral member, directly enter the core establishment, and the treatment will be the same as that of Lineage's children."
"Choose one?"
"Choose one of the two, ordinary information is the normal contribution Spirit Stone reward."
Li Yuan did not answer immediately.
"After the contract is terminated, how will Talisman Hall's identity be calculated?"
Captain Wang obviously anticipated this question and answered quickly:
"Now Talisman Hall is recruiting Freelance Talisman Maker. You can continue to cooperate with the Talisman Hall after you leave Wang Family."
"But the conditions will change. You cannot advance contributions, and you cannot take the initiative to receive tasks. You can only hand in Talisman in exchange for rewards, and the rewards are also lower than Contracted Talisman Maker."
"To put it simply, the work is still the same, but the price is less and the freedom is greater."
Wang Lu added next to it.
Li Yuan thought through it quickly.
The treatment of Freelance Talisman Maker is indeed worse than those who signed the contract. The acquisition speed of Contribution Point will be much slower, and some Talisman Making Technique and material channels that are only open to internal people will also be restricted. But the advantage is that there is no contract binding, and you will not be transferred to the front line. You can go wherever you want.
"When does this mission start?" Li Yuan asked.
"No rush, finish the talisman over there Alchemist He first. I'll make arrangements for entering Secret Realm. Someone will go in with you then." Captain Wang stood up and pushed the stool back to its original position, "Think about which way to go first."
After Captain Wang left, Old Sun didn't say a few words from beginning to end.
Li Yuan returned to the room, closed the door, and sat back at the table.
The spiritual power seeped into Talisman Paper along the tip of the pen, and Talisman Pattern took shape one by one under the guidance of Spirit Ink. While I was drawing the symbols with my hand, I was thinking about the Secret Realm in my mind.
The risk of entering Secret Realm to investigate Li Family's activities is not small. There is no rule against the Yuanyang Sect within the Secret Realm, and anyone who encounters Li Family is a real person.
Moreover, Li Family has recently sent people to the Secret Realm in batches. Qi Refining Late Stage has many experts and has the upper hand in terms of numbers.
But the reward is enough. The option of canceling the contract is exactly what Li Yuan wants.
And his own strength is there. Breath Concealment plus Breath Concealment and Keen Perception, the concealment ability in the Secret Realm is much stronger than most monks of the same level.
If you really encounter someone you can't beat, you won't lack the means to escape.
Li Yuan put away the last stroke of Talisman Pattern, restrained the spiritual power on Talisman Paper, and finished Spirit-Refining Talisman.
He put Talisman aside to dry and rolled out a new Talisman Paper.
There are still seven pieces left to finish this batch. After finishing, deliver the goods to Alchemist He, and then prepare to ship to the Secret Realm.
