Chapter 79 Sister-in-law, just give it to me.
The Sanyi Dao Sect has sent out a large number of disciples this time, and the various factions within the sect are secretly vying with each other.
The faction to which Zuo Qingyun belongs is the sect leader's lineage, but he is not a disciple of the sect leader.
He is currently vying for two Dragon Ball fragments in order to clear the Foundation Establishment stage and compete for a place as a true disciple.
The logistics and finances for this trip are temporarily under the management of Junior Sister. She is in charge of allocating manpower and bribing cultivators.
Zuo Qingshan had already figured out what to do.
He deliberately accelerated the shuttle, causing it to crash heavily to the ground from mid-air, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Then he emerged from the dust, coughing.
Seeing that his junior sister had come out, he pretended to be in a hurry and quickly came to her side.
"Junior Sister, disaster has struck!"
"My brother stole a Dragon Ball fragment and accidentally entered a forbidden area. There are still spatial turbulence inside, which is extremely unstable. He ordered me to come back and retrieve the Little Heavenly Enclosure Seal."
As he wiped the dust off his face, he quickly observed the expression on his junior sister's face.
"The eldest brother once instructed that the Little Heavenly Enclosure Seal must not be handed over to anyone other than him."
Seeing that his junior sister's expression had become serious, he decided to add fuel to the fire.
This junior sister seems to have some feelings for her brother, so why not try to trick her?
"Oh dear!" Zuo Qingshan slapped his thigh abruptly, paced back and forth a few steps, and said in an even more urgent tone:
"Junior Sister, if your brother could come, would I have needed to return? We are blood brothers; don't you trust me?"
"If we're even a step later, my brother will be in greater danger. Junior sister, sister-in-law, how can you bear to do this!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
As soon as Zuo Qingshan uttered the words "sister-in-law," the other woman blushed and lost her composure.
"Take it!"
She raised her hand and waved it, and her palm shone with a burst of spiritual light.
A square jade seal, entirely black, floats in mid-air.
The jade seal is only the size of a palm, with a smooth and heavy surface. Its surface is engraved with dense ancient array patterns, the patterns intertwined and spiraling.
"I'm giving you the Little Heavenly Enclosure Seal, but you must be very careful. Once the crisis is over, return it immediately."
"Sister-in-law, Qingshan knows what's important and what's urgent."
He raised his hand and steadily took the Little Heavenly Enclosure Seal. His fingertips touched the jade seal, and he felt the immense power that had been dormant. A flash of wild joy quickly crossed his eyes.
It became.
With this treasure in hand, that cultivator would be like a live fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Despite his inner elation, Zuo Qingshan maintained a solemn expression on his face.
He steered the flying shuttle and instantly soared into the sky.
Meanwhile, the junior sister, whose mind was being bombarded by the word "sister-in-law" and who was in a daze, did not realize at all that Zuo Qingshan's shuttle was heading in the wrong direction.
As the shuttle flew by, Zuo Qingshan coldly uttered two words: "Fool."
Although the fog had re-formed around them, it was not as dense as before.
As for the claim in historical documents that fog can cause madness, no evidence has been found to date.
Following the spiritual bond with the Spirit Ink Sable, the shuttle flew northwards.
At this moment, Li Ya was heading rapidly northwest.
As if to verify something, he adjusted his speed several times along the way, until now, when he pretended to stop and rest.
His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding terrain, and he finally selected a natural grotto hidden in a recess in the mountain wall.
The cave entrance is covered by withered vines, which can block the view from the outside world, making it a good place to spend the night.
Stepping into the cave, it was dry and comfortable, unlike the dampness outside.
Li Ya leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes, and silently counted until he reached one hundred. At that moment, a prompt appeared in the Spiritual Pivot.
He immediately crouched down, lay behind the vines, and through the gaps, saw a small, jet-black sable emerge from the weeds dozens of feet away.
This isn't the first time we've seen this thing along the way; Ling Shu is constantly monitoring the surrounding environment.
Ordinary spirit beasts would avoid strangers, but this beast wasn't afraid of people at all.
"Leaving aside whether there are any spirit beasts like minks in Fallen Dragon Valley, even if there are, how can these naturally born creatures be so vain as to put a golden collar on themselves?"
"They're clearly being watched. I wonder why they sent a spirit beast to spy on them."
I have been extremely careful along the way, and if someone has been watching me, they should have made their move long ago.
After leaving the pile of rocks, Li Ya repeatedly reviewed the details of his journey. With the help of the information recorded by the Ling Shu, he was able to confirm that there had been no oversights.
"So it seems that I was being watched when I set off. But how did this person discover me while I was hiding in the Ling Shu Cave Heaven?"
"Could it be that I was being watched as soon as I came out?"
Li Ya felt a chill run down his spine as he came up with a guess.
"I'm afraid he saw me the moment I came out, and the reason he was able to resist the temptation of the Dragon Ball fragments was probably because he was afraid I would hide in the cave."
After figuring out all the details, Li Ya felt no panic at all. Instead, he calmed down, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
This person used a spirit beast to track him, simply because he was afraid of being discovered using other methods, and this spirit sable relied on its keen sense of smell.
Thinking of this, Li Ya couldn't help but let out a cold smile.
"Please, Ling Shu, help me deduce the origin and preferences of this sable!"
In the blink of an eye, Ling Shu arrived at the conclusion.
The matter you seek, fellow Daoist, is already in the archives; no further deduction is needed.
The *Baiyujing Shanhaijing* states: "There is a beast called the Mozi, also known as the Xuan Diao. Its color is as black as ink, but in the bright sunlight, it tinges slightly with a dark purple."
[The Ink Trace is adept at smelling, able to discern the myriad scents of the air; even on a windless plain, it can track tracks for ten miles...]
Upon seeing the result, a cold smile appeared on Li Ya's lips.
He was indeed being watched, and he guessed that the person behind it would make a move soon. According to the information he had gleaned from the cave, the gathering place of the Tai Xuan Dao was still a day's journey away, and that person would probably make a move before he arrived.
The black sable's sense of smell is all-pervasive; as long as there is even the slightest trace of its scent on him, he cannot shake it off no matter where he hides.
However, his physical body possessed supernatural powers that allowed him to close all the pores on his body, preventing the release of even the slightest odor.
"In that case, I'll take a good look at how your beasts can smell the difference when they're in the water."
Li Ya came up with an extremely insidious plan. He tore off dozens of gray-green strips of cloth from his body and tied them to dead tree branches.
After doing all this, Li Ya went to the water's edge. Sure enough, the moment he stepped out of the cave, the weeds in the distance rustled, almost imperceptible unless one was paying special attention.
Without pausing for a moment, Li Ya plunged into the water as he placed the strips of cloth on the surface.
Dozens of strips of cloth, carrying his scent, floated steadily on the water's surface along with the deadwood, drifting downstream at high speed.
The moment Li Ya entered the water, he immediately entered the cave and changed his clothes.
When you re-enter the water, close all the pores of your body, prevent the outflow of qi and blood, and swim upstream.
The power of the cavern covering his entire body was like a layer of scales, parting the water in front of him.
