This young man looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was about the same age as himself two years ago. The young man was wearing a shabby gray monk's robe, with a trace of tiredness on his face. He was originally sitting cross-legged in the corner to rest, but now after hearing Inspired Rogue Person's words, a look of vigilance flashed in his closed eyes.

After shaking his head, the young monk immediately stood up and left here quickly.

Watching the young man leaving quickly, Jin Xin shook his head and prepared to search for the next target in the hall.

Jin Xin was not prepared at all. Just when he turned around, a black-robed monk appeared beside him, and he was immediately frightened.

"Hey! Why are you so sneaky! You're so scared... Huh? Master Lin!" Jin Xin originally planned to curse, but when his eyes glanced at the cold face of the black-robed monk, he immediately suppressed the curse words.

Jin Xin looked around and found that he was the only one nearby. He pointed at himself and said uncertainly, "Master Lin, are you here to find Jin?"

This Inspired Rogue Person's real name is Jin Xin, and Xu Yan has vaguely heard Rogue Cultivator mention it. This person has a pretty good reputation among Fufeng Commandery's Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and is quite well-informed. Generally, Rogue Cultivator will find this person when asking for information.

"Yes, Lin came here this time to find out some news from fellow Daoist." Xu Yan nodded and spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on Jin Xin's face, and even the three strokes of beard on his chin trembled visibly. He glanced around and lowered his voice. "Master Lin, please come with me."

After speaking, the person walked through the crowd and walked towards the Thousand Mechanism Hall.

Xu Yan followed closely behind. There were many people in the hall, so it was not a good place to inquire for information. If his prediction was correct, this person should take him to a remote place.

In the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, he is not afraid of the opponent's tricks.

Just as Xu Yan guessed, not long after following this person, they came to a Ancient Red Hall. After the person paid a Low-Grade Spirit Stone, he led Xu Yan into a room on the second floor.

"Master Lin, this is a secret room specially provided by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance for monks to facilitate communication and information gathering. This room is equipped with a formation to isolate Divine Sense, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets."

As soon as he walked into the room, Jin Xin beside him slowly opened his mouth and explained.

After listening to this person's words, Xu Yan turned his eyes around the room.

This room is decorated in an antique style. In the center of the room there is a century-old tea table made of Sandalwood, and six tea chairs, all made of Tear-Spotted Spirit Bamboo.

The faint scent of sandalwood lingers throughout the room along with the fragrance of bamboo.

"Master Lin, sit down." Just as he was looking at the room, Jin Xin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Yan nodded, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Opposite him, Jin Xin also sat down and showed his unique smile towards Xu Yan: "Master Lin, I wonder what information you are asking Jin to inquire about this time?"

Facing this person's probing gaze, Xu Yan thought for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Lin wants to ask fellow Daoist about the whereabouts of the two Rogue Cultivator?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xin's face showed a look that was indeed the case. After stroking his beard, Jin Xin coughed slightly and said, "Master Lin found the right person when he found Jin."

The man's face was full of confidence, and then he patted Storage Bag and took out a bronze mirror with a pale golden light.

"This person is actually a monk from Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!"

Xu Yan looked stern. The aura he inadvertently revealed when he was taking the bronze mirror allowed him to judge the person's cultivation level.

This made him take a high look at this person, no wonder he was quite famous among Rogue Cultivator.

He didn't seem to notice the change in Xu Yan's face. The man gestured at Xu Yan with the bronze mirror, and then slowly said, "Master Lin, this bronze mirror is a rare treasure, named Image Recording Mirror. Master Lin must have those two faces in his mind. Just use Divine Sense to outline the two faces, and the two faces will appear in my Image Recording Mirror."

This person's words made Xu Yan interested, and he looked at the bronze mirror carefully.

The bronze mirror in front of him was about one foot in size, with various strange runes engraved on both sides. As the bronze mirror was held in this person's hand, these strange runes seemed to come to life, like golden tadpoles swimming around.

Seeing this, Xu Yan said nothing, and slowly released a Divine Sense towards the bronze mirror, outlining the appearances of the Short Young Man and Scarface monks in his heart.

After he finished all this, the bronze mirror flashed with a dazzling light, and then two figures appeared in the mirror.

Xu Yan looked intently, and the faces of those two people appeared in the bronze mirror. This made him secretly surprised, and at the same time he valued the monk in front of him a little more.

The figure in the bronze mirror only appeared for about three breaths before gradually blurring. Seeing this, Jin Xin gave a soft drink and shot a Magic Power towards the bronze mirror.

After the bronze mirror was filled with Magic Power, the originally blurry figures immediately became clear.

Jin Xin seemed to be a different person at this moment, with a serious expression on his face and his eyes fixed on the two people in the bronze mirror.

About ten breaths later, the person waved his hand, and the bronze mirror instantly returned to its original appearance. After coughing slightly, the person slowly said, "Master Lin, the whereabouts of the shorter monk among the two are easy to find out. Just give me a few days to get the accurate information. But the monk with the scar on his face is a bit special, and it will take me longer to get accurate information."

Hearing this, Xu Yan nodded. This was almost as he predicted. It would take a while for even a monk who was good at tracking to find out the traces of the two monks out of thin air.

He just took advantage of this period to earn Spirit Stone and make final preparations. At present, except for the red Pill, he has no other Magic Artifact.

Fighting with others is extremely dangerous, and he needs to be fully prepared before trying to hunt these two people.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan asked this person, "I wonder how many Spirit Stone would it take for you to find out the whereabouts of the two of them?"

When it comes to the cost, Jin Xin's face clearly showed excitement. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "These two people are Qi Refining monks. According to the normal price, each person is ten yuan." Low-Grade Spirit Stone, a total of twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stone. Since Master Lin has opened his mouth, just give Jin eighteen Low-Grade Spirit Stone."

The price offered by this person was not expensive, and it was within his expectation. After thinking about it, Xu Yan nodded, "Okay, that's the price. But Spirit Stone needs to wait until fellow Daoist friends have accurate information before I can pay you."

"Yes, I believe Master Lin." Jin Xin nodded. This person is practicing Alchemist, so he should not be missing Spirit Stone.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xu Yan stood up and left the place.

Now that he has lost one Spirit Stone in his Storage Bag, he is going to take advantage of this period to earn some Spirit Stone. Moreover, he has always had a plan in mind when he came to the Rogue Cultivator Alliance. Now that he finally has some ability to protect himself, he can try that plan.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan walked slowly towards the Thousand Mechanism Hall.
