Li Yunjing and Shen Chun parted ways.

Shen Chun was going back to Xunxian Town to properly handle the matters following the closure of the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion.

Li Yunjing, on the other hand, was to return to the Luozhen Sect.

Li Yunjing planned to ask Ding Qifeng.

Let's see if Ding Qifeng has any clues.

After all, Kuang Qihua died suddenly after taking Condensed Ganoderma Pill.

Li Yunjing speculated whether Kuang Qihua had taken Condensed Ganoderma Pill before...

If you have consumed other spirit medicine or other substances that conflict with Condensed Ganoderma Pill,

This caused a conflict between the two within Kuang Qihua's body.

This led to Kuang Qihua's death.

Upon returning to the Luozhen Sect, Li Yunjing immediately went to find Ding Qifeng.

Ding Qifeng was tending to the medicinal spirit medicine with Nangong Ye in the herb garden.

When Li Yunjing came looking for him, Ding Qifeng didn't even turn around.

"Yunjing, how's the matter in Zheng Household Market?" Ding Qifeng asked.

Li Yunjing was taken aback.

"I asked Xiao Yao," Ding Qifeng said with a smile.

Li Yunjing suddenly realized what was going on and told Ding Qifeng the general situation.

After listening, Ding Qifeng stood up.

"Such a thing actually happened," Ding Qifeng muttered to himself.

Li Yunjing voiced his guess.

After listening, Ding Qifeng pondered carefully.

Your guess is not without merit.

However, there are not many spiritual objects that conflict with Condensed Ganoderma Pill.

Condensed Ganoderma Pill has a mild and balanced medicinal property, which means that extremely yin and cold substances will conflict with Condensed Ganoderma Pill.

If this is true, the characteristics are very obvious.

When you were there, did you feel cold? The kind of cold that chills you to the bone.

Li Yunjing shook his head. "No."

Ding Qifeng said, "Then we can rule out that as a possible cause."

Li Yunjing sighed.

Tricky.

At that moment, a name flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.

Zhong Lan.

Li Yunjing suspected that Zhong Lan or Clear Wind Sect might be behind it.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunjing left the herb garden.

After finding Mo Xuan, Li Yunjing told Mo Xuan roughly what had happened.

"Junior Brother Mo, go and investigate. See if there was anything unusual at the Clear Wind Sect last night." Li Yunjing gave Mo Xuan a task.

Mo Xuan agreed and immediately began the investigation.

Li Yunjing wasn't idle either; taking advantage of a sudden inspiration, he went to investigate.

Time passed little by little,

The hour of Xu (around 8 PM)

Zheng Household Market

Luo Wan dragged her tired body back to her house.

Take out the key and unlock the formation.

Luo Wan couldn't help but look at the house where Kuang Qihua lived next door.

Kuang Qihua's body has been taken away.

The interior has been mostly cleaned up.

"It's strange how it feels to suddenly die," Luo Wan muttered.

Just as she was about to go inside, Luo Wan's expression suddenly changed.

Kuang Qihua suddenly appeared in front of Kuang Qihua's house, bleeding from all seven orifices, looking terrified.

He looked at Luo Wan, his lips slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something.

Upon seeing this, Luo Wan froze.

"Ghost... ghost!?" The word popped into Luo Wan's mind.

The problem is, this is Zheng Household Market, a place known for its wandering ghosts and spirits. How could such a place possibly exist here?

Not to mention it's the ghost of Kuang Qihua.

A ghost at the Mid-Stage Qi Refining,

Once it appears, it will be sensed by the Zheng Household cultivators.

The Zheng Household will send someone to handle it immediately.

But suddenly, Kuang Qihua disappeared again.

Luo Wan rubbed her eyes and indeed didn't see Kuang Qihua.

"An illusion? Or..."

Luo Wan swallowed hard, hurried inside, and then activated the formation.

Taking a sip of water to calm herself, Luo Wan reassured herself.

"You're just scaring yourself. It can't be the ghost of that bald-headed Kuang Qihua."

After calming down a bit, Luo Wan relaxed considerably.

As he turned around, a grotesque face with blood streaming from its seven orifices suddenly loomed close...

Two days passed in a row.

On January 10th,

Li Yunjing sat in the Luozhen Hall.

Li Yunjing rubbed his temples, feeling exhausted.

I haven't slept well these past two days, I've been investigating Kuang Qihua's case.

Unfortunately, there was absolutely no clue.

The investigation results for Shen Chun are in.

After Kuang Qihua bought the Condensed Ganoderma Pill from the Luozhen Treasure Pavilion and left,

I didn't meet many people along the way.

Shen Chun thoroughly investigated everyone who had contact with Kuang Qihua.

No problems were found.

Meanwhile, Mo Xuan's side also had a result.

On the day Kuang Qihua died, Clear Wind Sect made no move.

There was no movement from the Clear Wind Pavilion either.

Zhong Lan, however, left for a while.

We went outside of Xunxian Town, but we didn't know what to do.

Moreover, the time spent away was not long.

It took about fifteen minutes for Zhong Lan to return.

After Zhong Lan left, Kuang Qihua remained in Xunxian Town and did not leave immediately.

Even when Zhong Lan returned to Xunxian Town.

Kuang Qihua is still in Xunxian Town.

Therefore, even though Zhong Lan is the prime suspect.

There is also no direct evidence to prove that Zhong Lan was the perpetrator.

Li Yunjing asked Mo Xuan to investigate where Zhong Lan went after leaving Xunxian Town.

Unfortunately, there was no result.

Zhong Lan was only seen leaving Xunxian Town.

Where exactly they went is probably unknown to anyone except Zhong Lan.

"Damn it!" Li Yunjing couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

At this moment, Hu Ruiyang came to see Li Yunjing.

"Sect Leader, a message has arrived from the Departing Maple Sect. Please take a look." Hu Ruiyang held up a Jade Slip.

Li Yunjing took it and looked at it.

It was Su Zhen who invited him to visit the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.

Li Yunjing handed the Jade Slip slip to Hu Ruiyang, signaling Hu Ruiyang to leave.

"Well, if I have no clue, I'll go for a walk," Li Yunjing thought to himself.

After giving instructions to Mo Xuan, Li Yunjing flew away from the Luozhen Sect his sword.

Mo Xuan was already familiar with Li Yunjing's actions.

After Li Yunjing left, he assumed the role of sect leader.

However, this happened shortly after Li Yunjing left.

Outside the gate of the Luozhen Sect

A woman with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes came running, shouting.

"Stop bothering me! Stop bothering me!"

Upon seeing this, the disciples guarding the gate of the Luozhen Sect immediately shouted.

"Halt! This is the Luozhen Sect; unauthorized entry is strictly prohibited!"

The woman trembled at the shout, and a clear look appeared in her eyes.

Upon seeing the disciples of the Luozhen Sect, the woman quickly stepped forward.

"I am Luo Wan, a disciple of Luo Luozhen. I am a Rogue Cultivator. I have important matters to report to your sect leader. Please go and inform him."

The gatekeeper frowned as he looked at Luo Wan.

Upon seeing this, Luo Wan immediately became anxious.

"Disciple Luozhen, what I said is true! Go tell your sect leader quickly, otherwise, that bald-headed Kuang Qihua will come to torment me again tonight!"

Upon hearing the name Kuang Qihua, the gatekeeper's expression tightened.

In recent days, he has also learned some things.

"Wait a moment, I'll go and report right away."

Departing Maple Sect

Su Zhen was discussing the matter with several elders of the Departing Maple Sect.

But at that moment, a sword streaked across the sky and landed at the Departing Maple Sect.

"Brother Li, you've finally arrived."

Upon seeing Jian Hong, Su Zhen's face lit up with joy, and he stepped forward to greet her.

The sword rainbow dissipated, Li Yunjing appeared.

"I've kept Brother Su waiting," Li Yunjing said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Su Zhen didn't care at all. "It's alright, Brother Li, rest for a while and catch your breath. We'll go to that place later."

Li Yunjing nodded, intending to replenish his Law Power on the spot.

Before long, the Law Power was replenished.

Led by Su Zhen, the group headed to the location of the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.

On the way, Su Zhen said to Li Yunjing:

"Brother Li, I've heard that the Luozhen Sect has recently encountered a major incident."

If there's anything Departing Maple Sect can do to help, please ask.

Don't forget that Departing Maple Sect and Luozhen Sect are allies.

Li Yunjing smiled and nodded, "Brother Su, you're too kind. I won't stand on the Departing Maple Sect can Luozhen Sect investigate a bit."

Li Yunjing briefly explained the situation to Su Zhen.

After hearing this, Su Zhen came to the same conclusion as Li Yunjing.

Frame someone.

"Brother Li, rest assured, as allies, we should help each other."

"I will have someone investigate carefully, and I will inform Brother Li immediately if there is any news," Su Zhen said.

Li Yunjing thanked him.

Before long, Li Yunjing arrived at the location of the Fire Rosy Cloud Iron Mine.
