After a moment's thought, Li Ling told the others, "Help me with something."
Lu Xing caught on at once. "Senior, do you want us to help search for the Orchid of the Secluded Valley?"
"You could put it that way," Li Ling said.
"But we hardly ever see it, and we don't know where to begin looking," Lu Xing said.
"Don't worry. I'll use my own Dharma power to create a blended incense. Its scent will change when you get close, so you should be able to notice it."

A trace of Li Ling's spiritual awareness resided within that Dharma power, allowing it to vaguely judge and indicate directions. It was effectively a fragment of his own spiritual sense accompanying each person to help with the search.
In truth, this method could not accurately detect the Orchid of the Secluded Valley. But places rich in spirit resonance, where nourishing silt was highly likely to exist, also had a good chance of harboring it.

This was a plan for the long term.
Once he had finished, he told everyone to stay in contact, then left ahead of them with Mu Qingsi.
"I think I've detected You Yuque's location."
"Do you want to intercept and kill him, husband?" Mu
