On a road, a cold wind blew by, and an old man wiped the sweat from his forehead. He had just walked over from a distance. He was wearing thick clothes and felt like he was trapped in a jar. He opened his collar a little, and a cold wind blew in. The sweat immediately cooled down, and another chill came.

The old man sighed and continued walking forward. He used to do business in Fuzhou City. Although he had no children, he lived a relatively comfortable life thanks to his connections in the government office. Unfortunately, some time ago, the son of the prefect was killed, and as luck would have it, he happened to die on the street where he did business.

Everyone on this street suffered now. Not only were their assets confiscated, but they were also thrown into jail. If it weren't for that tiny connection, he might not have been able to get out.

After he came out, he was penniless and had to return to a village not far from Fuzhou City where he had lived before.

I originally thought that I would die in poverty for the rest of my life, but unexpectedly I met an unexpected person.

Song Tianjie's sister, Song Yu, thought of Song Tianjie, and the old man gnashed his few teeth.

Although it was the prefect who took away his property and almost caused him to die in prison, he did not dare to hate the prefect. Instead, he hated Song Tianjie who caused the death of the prefect's youngest son. It was Song Tianjie who made him so embarrassed now.

After cursing Song Tianjie a few more times in his heart, he thought of Song Yu. Everyone said that Song Tianjie's sister was beautiful. Now he saw that she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

When he left Fuzhou City, he heard that Song Yu had been captured and somehow ended up near this village. He was sure that the prefect would not let Song Yu leave, so Song Yu must have sneaked out on his own.

When he reports Song Yu, he will be able to get another sum of money, and then he should have no problem enjoying his old age.

After walking for a while, they arrived at Fuzhou City. When it came time to pay the entrance fee, the old man felt a little embarrassed and smiled at the soldiers in front of him. "Master Guan, I remember a few days ago, the entrance fee was ten copper coins. How come it's only been less than half a month and it's already fifteen copper coins?"

The officer in front looked impatient and glared at the old man fiercely, "Why is it that I, your soldier, have to work so hard to defend the city? Shouldn't I be charged a hardship fee?"

The old man didn't dare to say more. He quickly took out the copper coins and said with an apologetic smile, "You should take it, you should take it." Then he stuffed the copper coins into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

The officer tossed the copper coins in his hand, a smile flashed across his face, "You're smart, get out of here."

"Okay, okay, I'll get out of here right now, I'll get out of here right now."

After entering the city, he came to the government office. He had a relative who worked in the government office. It was because of him that he was able to live such a comfortable life in Fuzhou City. He stuffed some silver and money into the soldiers at the door. After a while, he finally waited for a man with a big belly to come out.

This person is not very fat, but his belly is extremely big, as if he is six months pregnant.

As soon as the old man saw the man, he shouted happily, "Master Zhang, this way."

The man glanced at the old man and frowned. "Zhang Liu, didn't I tell you that your business is over? Why are you still coming to me now?"

Zhang Liu smiled apologetically, "Master Zhang, I'm not here for this matter, but for a great good thing."

Then Zhang Liu told the truth about Song Yu's arrival in the town.

Zhang You's breathing quickened after hearing this. He looked at Zhang Liu and said, "Zhang Liu, are you serious? If you lied to me, do you know the seriousness of the matter?"

"Master Zhang, look at what you said. Even if I had ten thousand guts, I wouldn't dare to lie to you."

Zhang nodded. Although Zhang Liu didn't have any great abilities, he was cautious in his actions and never said anything nonsense.

Then Zhang You's mind became active. He knew that Song Yu was rumored to have jumped into the river on a flower boat some time ago. The prefect issued a reward, saying that whoever took the body would be rewarded with several thousand taels of silver. Now there was a living person, so wouldn't the silver be even more!

Thinking of this, his heart was burning with heat.

"Zhang Liu, do you know where Song Yu lives?"

"Master Zhang, I've already done some research. She lives in the mountains near a fishing village not far from Fuzhou City."

"Oh, then did she find out you were following her?"

"I followed him very carefully. Song Yu kept his head down and walked forward the entire time, not looking back. There was no way he could have spotted me."

Zhang You's face lit up with joy. It turned out that Zhang Liu did things so perfectly. He seemed to see the reward waving at him.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll go and inform you."

Zhang Liu nodded, and after a while, a group of people came out, led by a tall, dark-faced man.

At this moment, Zhang You was flattering the black-faced man.

"Sir, if you personally take action, that little girl Song Yu will be easily captured."

The dark-faced man also laughed. He looked at Zhang Liu and asked, "You are the one who discovered the whereabouts of Miss Song Yu?"

"It's the villain."

"Okay, lead the way."

"Yes, my lord."

The big man with a black face was the chief constable of Fuzhou City. To be on the safe side, he also selected a dozen constables and rode on fast horses. The fishing village was not far from Fuzhou City, and it didn't take long for them to reach the foot of the mountain.

Then Zhang Liu led everyone through the mountains, and after a while, they arrived in front of a bamboo building.

Inside the bamboo building, He Ling smiled slightly, "It seems the people have arrived."

"Song Yu, I'm here to test the results of this period."

Song Yu has become a cultivator at this moment. Although she is only at the first level of Qi Refining, her five senses have been strengthened. However, she looks a little anxious.

"My dear fairy, I have only learned some cultivation techniques these days, and I have not yet come up with any strategies to fight against the enemy."

Only ten days had passed since that night. Although she had already drawn Qi into her body on the first day, she had mostly been reading books and meditating during this period. Now she didn't know any magic or skills, and her physical fitness was probably better than before.

"Don't worry, I will give you something, and after that your current strength will be enough."

As he spoke, He Ling took out a black talisman from his hand and handed it to Song Yu.

Song Yu's eyes lit up when she looked at the talisman in front of her. The Fairy Lady had taken out some books for her to read these days, so she knew that this was a common method used by immortal cultivators - talismans. They only needed to be stimulated by spiritual power to have different effects.

She had seen the Fairy Lady demonstrate this black talisman to her, but she had never used it before.

"Go, Song Yu, go and deal with everyone outside."
