"No."
The blind man said calmly, "The position of the Qishan Order is in the Daoshan ancient land. It's impossible for Yin Shi Tower to enter Daoshan ancient land and obtain the Qishan Order without anyone knowing."
"Our people have been watching the Daoshan ancient land, and there has been no activity."
"Then how could it have been refined?" A few people clearly couldn't believe it.
"Perhaps it was refined by someone from the Human Race." The blind man said slowly, "It's possible because the requirements to refine the Qishan Order aren't high. It just needs to merge into the blood, so maybe by chance, it was refined by someone from the Human Race."
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They had traveled far and braved dangers to come to Minghong State for the Qishan Order, only to find out that it had been refined by someone?
As they were speaking, a small sparrow fluttered in from outside. The blind man stretched out his hand, and the sparrow obediently landed on his palm.
The sparrow chirped a few times, and the blind man nodded, raising his hand to let the sparrow fly away again.
"Elder, how is it?" someone asked eagerly.
"A disciple from the Daoshan ancient land, Lu Qiaoqiao." The blind man slowly stood up, "The Qishan Order has been refined by this person."
"What should we do now!" Everyone below was visibly troubled.
"Since the Qishan Order has been refined by this person, we'll just take Lu Qiaoqiao back to our Destiny Star Hall." The blind man said to everyone, "Although things are different from what we expected, it's not unsolvable, as long as the Qishan Order is in our Destiny Star Hall's control."
"That's right." Everyone's eyes lit up. Since Lu Qiaoqiao had refined the Qishan Order, taking Lu Qiaoqiao back was the same.
"Besides us, other ghost cultivators must have also noticed the Qishan Order being refined, and they probably have the same idea as us now." A previously silent ghost cultivator said, "If we want to take Lu Qiaoqiao away, it might be a bit difficult."
"Especially Yin Shi Tower." A ghost cultivator's eyes flashed sharply, "They have always acted despicably, and they will probably act soon. Reports say that the person from Yin Shi Tower is Lady Congyun; she might already be preparing to snatch the person."
"Lady Congyun is a trouble, but trying to snatch someone from Daoshan ancient land, you're really overestimating her." The blind man sneered, "Although Luo Xiaochuan is not in Daoshan ancient land, Xue Qianbai is still there. Lady Congyun trying to snatch someone from Daoshan ancient land is unless she's tired of living."
Hearing the name Xue Qianbai, everyone present had even heavier breathing.
Thousand Snow Sword Venerable.
Once, with a Thousand Snow Sword, they entered the depths of the Cloud Wasteland, killing until the Ghost Gods retreated, and no races dared to come out.
So when mentioning this name, everyone present was somewhat fearful.
The thought of entering Daoshan ancient land to snatch someone was something they absolutely dared not do.
Moreover, the profound foundations of Daoshan ancient land were deep; rashly entering would lead to certain death.
Not to mention Xue Qianbai, just any of the thirty-six Peak Masters would be a top master.
"Let's wait for an opportunity." Everyone could only give up, and the blind man also sat back down, his aura returning to calmness.
Minghong State, Buhuo City.
Located in the city's largest tavern is the Immortal Pavilion, with its most famous wine being Tao Immortal's Drunkenness.
At this moment, in the tavern, everyone was marveling at a woman sitting by the window, a woman in her thirties with extraordinary charm.
But that wasn't the reason everyone was staring at her, rather it was the wine jars by her feet that truly shocked everyone.
Since the woman had entered the establishment, she had already drunk sixty or seventy jars, yet she was still drinking.
Such drinking capacity was truly shocking.
"Good wine." The woman said, her eyes bright as she drank, her water-like eyes showing a hint of intoxication.
"How is it that Cloud Wasteland doesn't have wine as good as this." The woman murmured to herself.
Just then, a figure appeared outside the window.
"Lady Congyun, this is the latest news." The visitor respectfully handed a letter to the woman.
Lady Congyun casually reached out to receive it, glanced at it, then grinned, her palm's Qi Force instantly pulverizing the letter.
"So that dead blind Jiang Hu came too." Lady Congyun hiccuped and said, "That Lu Qiaoqiao actually refined the Qishan Order, which is truly interesting."
"Lady Congyun, should we capture that Lu Qiaoqiao?" The person asked softly.
"Hic." Lady Congyun glanced at him, as if looking at an idiot, finally patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, your courage is commendable, I have high hopes for you, go ahead."
The person was startled, puzzled, and asked, "Go alone?"
"Yes, you take the lead. At that time, you might encounter a man in white holding a long sword. At that time, give it your all to kill that man, and when you return to Yin Shi Tower, I'll recommend you to be the Ninth Hall Master of Yin Shi Tower to the master." Lady Congyun laughed happily.
"This..." The person was obviously tempted, but he wasn't a fool and replied with an embarrassed smile, "Lady Congyun is joking, I'm not going."
Although he didn't know who the man in white with the long sword was, it was clearly someone not to be trifled with.
"Then get lost already, you're interrupting my drinking!" Lady Congyun said in a low voice.
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving." He quickly left, or else if he angered Lady Congyun, the consequences would be troublesome.
Even though they knew the Qishan Order was in the Daoshan ancient land, the ghost cultivators made no moves.
They could only wait for an opportunity.
Like a patient hunter waiting for their prey to bite.
They weren't worried about Daoshan ancient land knowing anything because the Qishan Order could only be sensed by their Ghost Race; the Human Race couldn't sense it.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed by.
Everything remained calm.
Even Xu Muhai, who had initially noticed the presence of the Ghost Race, was a bit puzzled. Traces of ghost cultivators had indeed appeared in Minghong State, but how come after so many days, there was still no activity?
It's not logical?
Ever since Yan Dongchen appeared in Minghong State, Xu Muhai speculated that people from Yin Shi Tower must have arrived in Minghong State. He had been waiting for Yin Shi Tower people to reveal their hand.
But for so many days, the people from Yin Shi Tower almost didn't show up.
Were these ghost cultivators not here to cause trouble in Minghong State?
Could it be they came to Minghong State for tourism?
This matter really left Xu Muhai baffled.
And on this day, Li Hengsheng emerged from seclusion.
"My aptitude is really quite average." Li Hengsheng said to himself. He had bought decent cultivation resources with the money sent by Li Changqing but only managed to cultivate from the Transcendent Realm Third Layer to the Fourth Layer after seven days in seclusion.
Before the seclusion, he was already at the peak of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer.
He knew his own aptitude was average, similar to his father's, who had some skills but not fully developed ones.
Being able to cultivate the martial path was already quite good.
He didn't have high expectations for his skills, and even Li Hengsheng himself didn't hold high hopes.
But now he had money and cultivation resources, Li Hengsheng believed his future was certainly bright.
If he always had such resources for cultivation, his future self might, in time, reach the Postnatal Peak level.
The reason he came out of seclusion today instead of continuing his cultivation was because today was the day when the servant disciples from Wanzai Peak needed to go down the mountain to purchase resources.
This was something that could not be delayed.
"Senior Brother Li, you're out of seclusion." Just then, a familiar sweet voice called out.
