Yuan Ming put away the jade bottle and the sun and moon furnace, dispersed the silver barrier, and left the room.
At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the front, but it was Miao Xian who came running towards him with a panic look on his face.
"Sir, something bad happened. The owner of the shop suddenly disappeared. The eldest lady asked me to invite you to come over to discuss it." Miao Xian saw Yuan Ming and said hurriedly as if he had found his backbone.
"Okay, I understand." Yuan Ming replied.
"Yan Sijing is missing? We just came back not long ago. Where can she go in this short time?" Yuan Ming frowned. Just as Miao Xian turned around, he had already ducked back into the house and opened the silver barrier again.
He entered the Heaven Stealing Cauldron space, sat cross-legged on the White Jade Lotus Platform, activated his spiritual consciousness through the anchor point to shroud it down, and quickly searched Fusang City again, but found no trace of Yan Sijing.
Yuan Ming expanded his consciousness to the limit and spread it to more than ten miles outside Fusang City, but still could not find Yan Sijing.
With a look of contemplation on his face, he left the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron. After the silver barrier dissipated, black energy flashed across his body, and his whole person disappeared in an instant.
Over the past year or so, he has become more and more proficient in the ghost escape method, and he is not much different from Dugu Feng back then.
The next moment, Yuan Ming appeared in Yan Siyun's room, and Xiying and Bi Shuirou were both here.
"What happened?" Yuan Ming asked in a deep voice.
"Just now when we returned to our residence, Si Jing suddenly received an alchemy commission. Someone wanted to ask her to refine a rare elixir and needed an interview. Si Jing had no doubt that he was there and rushed over immediately. I didn't think much about it.
I found out that she was kidnapped just a moment after she left the house and lost all news." Yan Siyun blamed herself very much.
"Yan Sijing has only been out for a while, how can you be sure that she was kidnapped?" Yuan Ming asked.
"My sister and I each have a blood marrow jade pendant. This is a magic weapon that can sense each other through the power of blood. It can sense each other's position and breath. It is much more sensitive than ordinary sensing magic weapons. But just now
, Si Jing's aura suddenly disappeared, and the position of the blood marrow jade pendant could not be sensed, something must have happened." Yan Siyun took out a dark red jade pendant and said.
"I see, Xi Ying, Yan Sijing just disappeared. She shouldn't be far away. You are proficient in various secret arts, can you trace her whereabouts?" Yuan Ming looked at Xi Ying.
"I have already tried, but found nothing. I am afraid that Yan Sijing has been installed into some kind of space magic weapon, or has been shrouded in extremely sophisticated restrictions." Xiying shook his head and said.
Yuan Ming frowned. He had never practiced any special tracking secret technique. Although Lord Liuyu's "Ancient Shadow Soul Searching Technique" fell into his hands, he had too many things to do during this period and he didn't have time yet.
Practice.
"Have you searched through the Heaven Stealing Cauldron?" Xiying's voice sounded in Yuan Ming's sea of consciousness.
"Well, I didn't find anything. It seems that Yan Sijing has been taken away from Fusang City, and the possession ability of Stealing Heaven Cauldron has just been used, so she is in some trouble." Yuan Ming replied via voice transmission.
"In such a short period of time, unless a teleportation array is used, Yan Sijing should not be taken too far." Xiying said.
"For the current plan, we can only use stupid methods to find her. Later, you will take Miao Xianfei to escape from the city and fly around the island. I will use him as an anchor to search for Yan Sijing's whereabouts." Yuan Ming said in a message.
"Okay." Xiying agreed.
The two immediately proposed to Yan Siyun to go out and search.
"Should we ask fellow Daoist Bishui to help us, or ask people from Fusang Island to help us investigate?" Yan Siyun asked.
"No need for now, just wait for news from us. If you need help from Fuso Island, I will let you know." Yuan Ming flashed the figure of Jia Sifang in his heart and shook his head.
After saying this, the two of them said goodbye and left.
"Why don't you ask people from Fuso Island for help?" Xiying asked outside the house.
"Both your and my identities should be kept secret. We'd better solve Yan Sijing's disappearance by ourselves and try not to attract other people's attention." Yuan Ming said.
"Why be so cautious?" Xiying disagreed.
"Be careful when sailing the ten-thousand-year-old ship." Yuan Ming said.
Xiying took Miao Xian and sneaked out of the city. The Immortal Fruit Fair was approaching and monks from all the major islands gathered. In order to facilitate access, the protective formations around Fusang City had been removed, leaving only one or two layers of ordinary induction restrictions.
Xiying and Miao Xian quickly left the city and fled along the edge of the island.
Yuan Ming turned back and entered the space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, using his spiritual consciousness to explore along the way.
Xiying's escape speed was astonishing, and he quickly ran across nearly half of Fuso Island, but still found nothing.
"Yan Sijing has never been to the East China Sea before, and this is her first time in Fusang City. There is no way she has enemies here. Who would want to arrest her? Is it that Jia Sifang? He has already found out that Xi Ying is here. He caught Yan Sijing and used
To deal with Xiying?" Yuan Ming considered various possibilities in his mind and quickly rejected this guess.
Judging from the previous conversation between Jia Sifang and Wu Yuezhi, they planned to take action only after the Immortal Fruit Conference begins. It would be unwise to arrest Yan Sijing at this moment.
But besides Jia Sifang, who else has the courage to arrest people in Fusang City?
Yan Sijing is just a monk in the alchemy stage, what is there in her that is worthy of others’ plans?
"Bing Rui Yin Fire!" A sharp light flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes, and he immediately called Xiying to stop.
"Why, have you found traces of Yan Sijing?" Xiying asked.
"Nothing has been found yet, but I remembered something that may be related to Yan Sijing's disappearance..." Yuan Ming will meet Master White Scales of the Thousand Snake Clan at the auction today. He is collecting real fire and has entered Fusang before.
When they were on the island, Master White Scales told them about how he used his spiritual consciousness to detect the group of people.
"When I entered Fuso Island, I also sensed the decline of Master Bai Lin's consciousness. According to what you said, this person's suspicion is indeed quite high." Xiying pondered for a moment and said.
"I just used my spiritual sense to explore the location of the Snake Tribe, and there is no whereabouts of Yan Sijing. Do you know where the Snake Tribe has a stronghold near Fusang Island?" Yuan Ming asked.
In the past few days, Xiying, after practicing, has been sorting out information about the islands participating in the conference with Bi Shui Rouyan Siyun. He must know more about the Snake Tribe than he does.
"I know where Yan Sijing is." Xiying suddenly said, turning into a ray of light and shooting towards the other side of the island.
Yuan Ming's spiritual consciousness followed closely behind and soon reached the other side of Fusang Island.
Three giant ships of different shapes were moored at the edge of the island. They seemed to be the ships of the Snake Tribe, the Shark Tribe, and the Water Ape Tribe. There were many people on board.
"Although the Snake Tribe, the Shark Tribe, and the Water Ape Tribe have been thriving in the East China Sea for a long time, the idea that humans and monsters have different paths is deeply ingrained, so only a few people from the three tribes entered Fuso City, and most of them stayed outside the island." Xiying stopped in the distance.
, said softly.
Yuan Ming nodded slowly, used his spiritual consciousness to investigate, and soon discovered Yan Sijing's whereabouts. The bottom of the Snake Tribe's ship was shrouded in a layer of flickering blue restrictions.
Yan Sijing was unconscious at the moment, her clothes were messy, and there was blood on her chest. She seemed to have fallen into a coma due to serious injuries.
A hint of evil flashed across Yuan Ming's eyes, and he felt relieved as he carefully explored Yan Sijing's situation.
Although Yan Sijing was seriously injured, her life was safe, and the ice core Yin Fire in her body was still there and had not been drained away yet.
In another room of the ship, Master Bai Lin was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. In front of him was a cyan alchemy furnace about ten feet tall, with two relief sculptures of a dragon and a tiger on it, which looked very vivid.
There are six fire spirit arrays operating in the Dragon Tiger Alchemy Furnace, which is actually a six-aperture alchemy furnace, and three of the six fire spirit arrays already contain true fire.
Master White Scales is making secrets to activate the fourth magic circle to absorb and refine the apricot wood green fire he just captured.
"No wonder this person is collecting real fire to arrest Yan Sijing. It turns out there is a six-hole alchemy furnace." Yuan Ming thought to himself.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and Queen Mingkong of the Shark Clan walked in. Master White Scales didn't seem to care, and was still breathing out a ball of faint green flames, while Queen Mingkong was minding her own business.
He went to a corner of the room and quietly watched the former cast a spell.
Not long after, Master Bai Lin swallowed the green fire and slowly opened his eyes.
"With these four kinds of true fire, the effect of the Dragon-Tiger Qingxuan Furnace can be restored to most of it. It is just used to refine the Ascension Pill, and I'm afraid it still lacks some heat." Seeing this, Queen Mingkong said.
"It's really hard to collect only four kinds of real fire, but the fifth kind of real fire has been revealed and will be available soon." Master White Scales said with a smile.
"Are you talking about the little girl at the bottom of the boat?" Queen Mingkong said with her bright eyes moving.
Master Bai Lin's smile froze: "Ming Kong Dao's friendly magical power, I have asked people to act as carefully as possible, but I didn't expect that you still found out about it."
"As long as there is water, I can know anything I want to know." Queen Mingkong raised her jade hand, and a blue water mirror appeared in front of her, clearly showing the situation of Yan Sijing at the bottom of the boat.
"It seems that the water mirror viewing technique of fellow Taoist Mingkong is close to perfection, congratulations." Master Bai Lin's eyes twitched and he said with a smile.
"It's just a method used for exploration. It's not worth mentioning. How can it be compared with the thunderous method of fellow Taoist Bai Lin? It's just that some people are not easy to catch. Be careful of attracting hard stubble." Queen Mingkong said as if pointing out.
After saying this, he pushed open the door and walked out, his body turned into a blue light and shot out.
Yuan Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard this. What does Queen Mingkong mean by this? She has discovered that Xiying is looking for someone?
When Xiying flew around the island before, he did not cast any spells to hide his whereabouts, so there was indeed a possibility of being discovered.
Master Bai Lin looked at the direction where Queen Mingkong disappeared, thoughtfully, then called Qingtong, and ordered to strengthen the guarding of the ship and Yan Sijing.
"Yan Sijing has been found at the bottom of the Snake Tribe's ship." Yuan Ming sent a message to Xiying and recounted the conversation between Queen Mingkong and Master White Scales.
"As expected, it's here, the water mirror viewing technique? It seems that the Shark tribe does have this magical power. It has been cultivated to a high level. It can communicate with water vapor and observe the movements of the enemy. No wonder I felt like I was being watched just now." Xiying.
He nodded slowly, but his expression was very relaxed.
"Since you said that, there is a high probability that Queen Mingkong already knows your existence. There is no guarantee that she does not have the means to secretly communicate with Master White Scales." Yuan Ming reminded worriedly.
