Ch 300: Reconnaissance

Meng Liunian thought for a moment and casually tossed out a bag of Spirit Stones. “This is thirty Low-Grade Spirit Stones!”

Qu Xian took the bag of Spirit Stones, his eyes changed slightly, and he said with a playful tone, “You’re new here, you need to pay three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones as an entry fee!”

Meng Liunian glanced at him faintly, a hint of impatience in his eyes: “Couldn’t you have said it all at once! What a hassle.” As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and walked towards the inner room. Before long, he came out carrying a heavy bag and threw it heavily in front of Qu Xian.

As the bag landed, it made a dull thud, as if the entire room shook with it. Immediately afterwards, Meng Liunian casually raised his hand and waved it gently, and a Divine Sense that was difficult to detect with the naked eye quietly landed on Qu Yuan’s body like a ghost.

Meng Liunian said, “There are three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones in here.”

Qu Yuan looked at the bulging bag in front of him, and the expression on his face instantly became very ugly. He had originally come here just to test the other party’s background and attitude, but he did not expect that this guy, facing his unreasonable demands, not only did not refuse at all, but instead gave a surprisingly large number of Spirit Stones so readily and generously, and in such an almost arrogant manner!

For a time, various thoughts churned in Qu Yuan’s mind. Could it be that this guy doesn’t care about these Spirit Stones at all? Or is he doing this on purpose to humiliate himself? Thinking of this, a surge of anger welled up in Qu Yuan’s heart, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. After all, the Family Head had instructed him that the main task of this operation was to investigate the situation, and he must not act rashly, lest he startle the snake and ruin the important matter. Despite being indignant, Qu Yuan could only grit his teeth and reluctantly put away the bag of Spirit Stones.

The lackey beside him, seeing his unkind eyes, pointed at Meng Liunian and cursed, “Who do you think you are looking down on? So what if you have Spirit Stones? Do you know what the consequences are for offending my Huntian Gang?…”

“I paid the protection fee, and I also paid the entry fee! Is my Huntian Gang’s reputation so low! You want to attack me after taking the money!” Meng Liunian said lightly.

Qu Yuan looked at Meng Liunian with murderous intent, but helplessly waved his hand. Although they were gangsters, they also had principles. If someone paid the Spirit Stones and they still attacked, they wouldn’t be gangsters, they would be robbers! He said in a deep voice, “Let’s go!”

All the lackeys looked at Meng Liunian fiercely and slowly left the clinic.

Meng Liunian smiled coldly, “This group of people came too suddenly, and there’s also Qu Yuan, isn’t he the one who repaid kindness with enmity after being cured by Wu Xingdao? If you say no one instructed them, that’s impossible?”

He got up and hung the words “Closed” outside the clinic door. He put on an Azure Robe, gently pinched his face, and with his precise control of Yin Spiritual Power, instantly turned into another face. Looking at the long face in the mirror, Meng Liunian smiled slightly. Then he left the clinic, tracking Qu Yuan’s footsteps.

Qu Yuan did not stay on Changlang Street. After returning to the Huntian Gang headquarters, he quietly came to the Chang Family Residence alone, cautiously looked around, and after finding no one following him, he flew over the wall of the Chang Family Residence.

Meng Liunian walked out of the bamboo forest not far away, “It’s actually the Chang Family of Lingyan City! Things are indeed not simple!” With a flash of his figure, Meng Liunian entered the Chang Family Residence. Relying on the Divine Sense Imprint left on Qu Yuan, he quickly found Qu Yuan’s whereabouts.

At this time, Qu Yuan was in a hidden secret room, talking to someone.

“Reporting to the Family Head, that person seems to be not simple. Facing my unwarranted demands, he gave it directly, I feel his background is not simple! In order not to startle the snake, we did not act rashly!” Qu Yuan said.

Family Head, could it be the Chang Family Head! It seems that Qu Yuan is a member of the Chang Family! But, what is the purpose of these people? Meng Liunian thought, hiding on the eaves.

“Wu Xingdao? Is there any news?” Chang Anle’s tired voice sounded.

“No, that old guy sold the clinic, and then disappeared!”

“Hmph! Waste! Just like your father, it’s been almost a hundred years, and you still haven’t found the White Tiger Jade Pendant! What use is it for me to raise your Qu Family?”

“Family Head, give me some more time, tonight I will sneak into the clinic to interrogate that kid, and I will definitely find Wu Xingdao’s whereabouts!”

“What are you doing looking for Wu Xingdao? I want the White Tiger Jade Pendant!” Chang Anle said angrily.

“Yes, yes, yes!” Qu Xian quickly responded.

“Get out!”

Before long, Qu Xian walked out of the secret room, his figure a little unsteady and his expression quite embarrassed. He vigilantly looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately afterwards, he quickly ran to the wall, using both his hands and feet, climbed over the wall, and then left without looking back.

Meng Liunian, who had been hiding in the dark, did not act rashly, he quietly observed Qu Xian’s every move. Just as Qu Xian had just left, a powerful Divine Sense swept past the place where he was hiding.

From the perception of this Divine Sense, he judged that this person’s cultivation had reached the Early Foundation Establishment!

Just then, in the originally silent secret room, another figure appeared silently…

“Family Head, you called me!” A Black-Robed Man knelt on the ground and replied.

“Tonight, take a trip to the Hanging Pot Medical Hall, wear the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant! Perhaps there will be gains!”

“Family Head, are we being too hasty! What if…!”

“Hmph, there are no what-ifs, we have dealt with him a lot over the years, and we have investigated the Immortal Cave Abode almost completely! It is time for the White Tiger Jade Pendant in his hand to return to its original owner!”

“But,……!”

“Don’t worry, as long as the clinic is still there, Wu Xingdao will definitely go back! While he is not there, let’s strike first! Go!”

“Yes!”

The Black-Robed Man cupped his fist and bowed before turning to leave.

Meng Liunian was shocked when he heard their conversation. “Immortal Cave Abode, White Tiger Jade Pendant, Azure Dragon Jade Pendant! Could it be that this Jade Pendant is the key to the gate of the Immortal Cave Abode! It seems that Wu Xingdao is indeed not simple! Last night’s peeping, perhaps it was him!

Suddenly an even more powerful Divine Sense swept over. A cold snort came from the depths of the Chang Family Residence, and an Azure Escape Light flew towards Meng Liunian’s location at full speed.

Noticing that he had been discovered, Meng Liunian turned into an afterimage and swept across the eaves, escaping from the Chang Family Residence. Then a meow sounded. That figure quickly chased after him, frowning as he looked at the direction Meng Liunian left.

“Could it be that I saw it wrong!”

After escaping from the Chang Family Residence, he quickly restored his original appearance and walked on the bustling street. His body was covered by the aura of “Blending with the World”. No matter how strong that guy’s Divine Sense is, he can’t even think about discovering himself.

After selling some commonly used things on the street, Meng Liunian returned to Changlang Street.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the clinic, he saw Huang Da standing there with a jar of wine.

“Doctor Liu, you’re finally back!” Huang Da was wearing a single shirt, and his bronze arms were exposed from years of blacksmithing.

Meng Liunian quickly stepped forward, “Brother Huang is here! Don’t you have to work today?”

“Hey, blacksmithing doesn’t lack this bit of work! I specially brought you some wine today!” As he spoke, he lifted the wine jar in his hand!

Meng Liunian smiled, “I don’t drink!”

“Eh, why don’t you drink? The previous Doctor Wu was a heavy drinker! He often used wine when prescribing medicine! No matter what, you have to accept this wine!”

“Okay!” Meng Liunian smiled and took the wine jar, “Is this okay! Come in and sit down! There are no patients right now anyway!”

Huang Da smiled, “No, there’s still work to do in the shop! I’ll go back to the blacksmith shop to work!”

“Is that so! Then wait a moment!” As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Liunian’s feet seemed to be blowing in the wind, and he walked quickly into the clinic. After entering the clinic, he placed the heavy wine jar in the corner, then quickly turned around and walked in a certain direction. After a while, he came out holding a crystal clear Jade Token that exuded a warm luster.

Standing in front of Huang Da, Meng Liunian said with a smile: “Brother Huang, this time we parted in a hurry, and there is really no gift that I can give you. This Jade Token is a Peace Talisman that I specially went to the temple to ask for some time ago. It is said that wearing this Talisman can ensure peace. Today, I will give it to Brother Huang, hoping that it can protect you from harm!”

Hearing Meng Liunian’s words, Huang Da quickly waved his hand and declined, “Oh dear, how can this be? How dare I easily accept such a precious thing?”

Meng Liunian gently shook his head and said, “Brother Huang, you don’t have to be so polite, this is just a token of my appreciation!”

Seeing that Meng Liunian’s attitude was firm, Huang Da had no choice but to scratch his head and replied with a simple and honest smile: “Since that’s the case, then I, your little brother, will accept it respectfully!” With that, he took the Jade Token.

At this time, Meng Liunian’s mouth was slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. This seemingly ordinary Jade Token contains his Divine Sense Power. Once it encounters a dangerous situation, the power it explodes with is enough to resist the full blow of a Late Foundation Establishment Cultivator. The reason why he gave it to Huang Da is because the Chang Family has now secretly set their sights on him. If he is unfortunately exposed, then Huang Da, who is related to him, will naturally be unable to escape the disaster.
