Isn't this a game? How come you guys are really cultivating immortals!

Playing this game, Shui Tan experienced a shock for the first time.

He entered the game with a mission and knew the rules of Yunzhou Continent, so he was always careful in his actions.

They also don't have their own opinions on certain things.

It was just Pan Qingyi.

Not long ago, he was a healthy child, but now he suddenly heard that he had failed to establish his foundation, his arms and legs were crippled, and he was even kicked out of the sect. For a moment, Shui Tan didn't know what to think.

Is Guanhaizong accused of being cold-blooded?

No, these are just the rules of Yunzhou Continent.

This has always been the case.

What right does a disciple who is already crippled have to waste the sect's resources?

Furthermore, he was not particularly talented to begin with; the fact that Guanhai Sect kept him around back then was out of kindness.

My parents made contributions to the Guanhai Sect, which earned them the opportunity to stay in such a great sect.

Now it has no value anymore, and there is no need for it to stay in the Guanhai Sect.

Shui Tan took a deep breath to calm the inexplicable anger in his heart, and asked only, "Where is he now?"

Yun Chenyu raised his head and carefully observed the pool's expression, not daring to hide anything: "I don't know... He was kicked out of Guanhai Sect, so he lost the right to stay in Guanhai Sect, and he's not in Liuxian City either."

Pan Qing could not afford the cost of stopping in Liuxian City.

In other words, they could go anywhere.

It's possible that they might die.

The pool closed its eyes briefly: "He failed to establish his foundation and lost all his cultivation?"

Yun Chenyu nodded: "Yes..."

With someone as useless as him, how could he possibly stay here any longer?

Yun Chenyu didn't think there was anything wrong with this; Pan Qingyi was not worthy of staying in the Guanhai Sect in the first place.

He was afraid that Shui Tan and Pan Qingyi seemed to have a good relationship, and that Shui Tan might cause him trouble because of what happened that day.

The pool turned and left.

The system then added a reminder: "I will keep an eye on Pan Qingyi from the player's perspective, and have the player bring her back for you later."

It's definitely not realistic to go looking for it specifically, given how vast the Guanhai Sect is.

However, it's not difficult to get players to pay special attention.

The system is especially convenient.

He paused for a moment by the pool, then said, "Thank you for your trouble."

This is the first time I've genuinely felt that having a system is really convenient.

Of course, if it were someone else, they might not necessarily help with such a small matter.

After all, he's just a child; why bother getting the player's attention?

The system said, "You're welcome. I could tell you were going to go looking for me just by looking at you."

After all, everyone knows what Shui Tan does in real life, and his education and mindset don't allow him to turn a blind eye.

System: "Your Foundation Establishment failed and you lost all your cultivation. You probably won't be so lucky to recover your cultivation. You can take him back to Wang'an County to raise him."

Unexpectedly, Shui Tan was frighteningly calm at this moment: "No, I am now the Fifth Elder's disciple. He has been watching me all along. Jiang Qi's reminder means that he has other intentions. After finding Pan Qingyi, we can settle him in another sect. If we take him back to Wang'an County, I am afraid that if the Guanhai Sect follows the clues there, they will suspect my origins. I myself came from Wang'an County. We can't let them notice this place."

"It won't work in Liuxian City either. If anything happens to me, the Fifth Elder or Jiang Qi could very well capture Pan Qingyi to threaten me."

He even considered the consequences.

After analyzing the data, the system came up with the optimal solution: "If that's what you said, let's place it in the Netherworld Sect. It's far away, and the players can keep an eye on it. The Sea-Watching Sect can react in time to whatever it wants to do."

"It's impossible for the Fifth Elder, that scoundrel, to personally intervene."

The pool nodded: "Okay."

With the backup plan in place, the most important thing now is to find Pan Qingyi.

The system provides other players' perspectives, making it easier than finding a needle in a haystack. At this moment, the system gave Song Jiu's advice: "Go and wander around the Zhenbaofang area."

The pond doesn't know the reason, but it will do as instructed.

Zhenbaofang was as deserted as ever.

This time, a maid named A'duo was sitting at the door. She looked around the pool but didn't see anything special.

Of course, if there were any problems with Zhenbaofang, he probably wouldn't have noticed.

I did have a vague feeling of being watched.

He told the system, "Someone is following me."

The other party's cultivation level should be comparable to his. Although he had a special tool to conceal his aura, Shui Tan sensed the person's secret spying through his intuition.

System: "People from Jiang Qi's faction, right?"

The pond also thought so.

Sure enough, once he returned to the sect, someone started watching him.

The Fifth Elder was still not entirely at ease with the pool, while Jiang Qi probably wanted to find out what he was up to through Pan Qingyi's matter.

Pretending to know nothing, Shui Tan wandered around Liuxian City, seemingly searching for Pan Qingyi's whereabouts.

Before long, the person who had been secretly watching disappeared.

At the fifth peak of the Guanhai Sect, a late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple flew towards Jiang Qi. The disciple looked at Jiang Qi respectfully and said, "Senior Brother, he has been searching everywhere in Liuxian City."

Jiang Qi frowned: "Is it inside Liuxian City?"

He privately thought that Shui Tan wasn't such a stupid person.

They've already received the news that Pan Qingyi has been expelled from Liuxian City and is now searching for someone within the city.

If he's just putting on an act, then Jiang Qi will have to make a different judgment.

Thinking about this, Jiang Qi nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

The person nodded and quietly withdrew and disappeared.

Jiang Qi stood still, then raised his head and gazed deeply into the direction of the summit.

***

Song Jiulai's clone, Jiu Song, followed Zeng Jin to investigate other sects.

The main body also encountered some trouble in the Dragon Frost Marsh.

Her true form had been working various jobs under the guise of the Guanhai Sect, seemingly carefree.

But they were still targeted today.

She returned to Xuanwu City to resupply for the day, but was instead targeted by a female cultivator.

The other party could make Song Jiu jump up with just a few words.

Song Jiulai ate local specialties at a restaurant in Xuanwu City. What they called "delicious food" was actually just large chunks of meat.

It was salted, so it didn't have much of a fishy smell, but it wasn't particularly delicious either.

As she was eating, she heard a woman's voice: "You've been missing for many days."

"?"

Song Jiu turned her head away. At this moment, her face was that of an ordinary female cultivator, the kind that wouldn't attract any attention.

The female cultivator who called her softly behind her was also very ordinary-looking, dressed simply, and was a typical late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

Only those eyes, the black pupils of which would occasionally twitch.

It's very strange; it doesn't feel like a human being.

Song Jiu turned around and said, "I don't know you."

She was certain she didn't know him.

The female cultivator walked up to Song Jiulai and sat down. "I've been watching you for many days. You're working for the Guanhai Sect."

"..."

Sister, you're talking too much.

She's not using the same face she had when she worked for Guanhai Sect.

Song Jiulai lowered her eyes and continued gnawing on her meat without saying a word: "You've got it wrong."

"I can't be mistaken, I felt you were different from others the moment I saw you. My eyes can see different things, and I can always recognize you."

The woman uttered a corny line from a TV drama.

He even said in a very outrageous way, "I was trapped in that cage in the crowd, and only you looked at me with calm eyes, without any hatred or grudge."

That's definitely not the look a cultivator from the Yunzhou Continent should have.

Song Jiulai: "..."

She remembered that when she first arrived in Xuanwu City, she encountered the Xuanwu City Lord's team returning from hunting down demon cultivators.

This woman was the stunningly beautiful demon cultivator with those golden vertical pupils.

Song Jiu pursed her lips and said calmly.

"Actually, I'm blind."
