Chu Yin subconsciously looked at the two ugly heads rolling on the table.

Attaining immortality has always been the ultimate aspiration of Daoists.

Immortality symbolizes eternal life, transcendence from the mortal realm, freedom, great liberation, and great purity.

It is forever sacred and solemn, untouched by worldly dust.

How could it be associated with something akin to demons?

As if sensing Chu Yin's confusion, Zhu Xuemin said calmly, "These two heads do indeed bear traces left behind by the Taiyin Refinement.

The evidence is the transparent jade marrow in their brains.

I suspect that

someone killed a cultivator who was undergoing the Taiyin Refinement, dismembering his already petrified body piece by piece.

The severed parts will be in a state similar to corpse dismemberment,

and according to the pre-set Taiyin Refinement program,

they will continue to grow and develop,

spontaneously transforming,

eventually changing into a special existence that is neither human, nor demon, nor fiend, nor immortal,

which are these two things.

They clearly don't have demonic aura, yet they possess bizarre special abilities."

Zhu Xuemin paused, a hint of confusion in his eyes, "However, any cultivator who attempts the Taiyin Refinement will make thorough preparations before entering seclusion,

allowing close associates to protect them throughout the process, preventing interference or assassination by enemies, loss of cultivation, and death.

Or could it be that the close associate responsible for protection took action,

harming the cultivator and using the cultivator's body to create monsters?

Judging from Captain Xun's description, these two monsters seem to be under some kind of restriction; they die immediately if they try to leave.

But what is the purpose of doing this?

Why raise and imprison monsters..."

Zhu Xuemin pressed his hands to his head, gently rubbing his temples with his index fingers, lost in thought as if no one else was there.

"Cough, cough."

Xun Zi'an coughed twice upon seeing this.

Zhu Xuemin immediately came back to his senses, scratching the back of his head awkwardly, "Sorry, I forgot the matter at hand again."

His expression became serious, and he said earnestly, "In short, if it really is someone or some force keeping the monsters from the third level of Shengnan King in Fengzhou or Qizhou,

then that person must have a very deep understanding of Shengnan King.

Perhaps, he has already noticed us."

Zhu Xuemin trusted Xun Zi'an's professionalism, knowing that the latter must have been careful to conceal his tracks during his return to Chenzhou.

However, metaphysics is prevalent in this world, and divination methods are completely unreasonable.

Once you get entangled in karma, it's difficult to erase it.

Chu Yin frowned and asked, "Then what do we do now?"

"Meet soldiers with generals, and water with earth."

Xun Zi'an said calmly, "In any case, we have already collected two elements,

plus the auspicious sign obtained by Captain Xing, we have gathered all three elements,

we just need to wait for things to develop."

"Yes, Captain Xun is right."

Zhu Xuemin agreed, "Whether the person who created the monsters wants to awaken Shengnan King,

or is trying to eliminate Shengnan King,

he will have to act sooner or later.

If we wait a little longer, until Captain Xing arrives in Chenzhou, our chances of winning will be much greater..."

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, Xun Zi'an's upper garment pocket vibrated slightly, as if it contained a ringing mobile phone.

The incident was sudden, and Zhu Xuemin, Chu Yin, and Shi Qi subconsciously took a few steps back, looking at Xun Zi'an's upper garment from a distance, "Captain Xun, your pocket..."

"..."

Xun Zi'an's expression also changed slightly. He took a few steps back to distance himself from his companions, lowered his head to look at his upper garment pocket,

and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, taking out a sheet of A4 white paper.

【Name: Life Paper】

【Type: Abnormal Item】

【Quality: Rare】

【Effect: Life Monitoring. Life Paper can monitor the life status of the registrant across distances. The paper shrinks when the registrant weakens, enlarges when healthy, cracks when injured, and disappears after recovery.】

【Consumption: None】

【Cooldown: None】

【Equipment Condition: None】

【Note: Destroying the Life Paper does not harm the registrant himself. A Life Paper can only register one registrant. The life monitoring effect of paper cannot cross long distances and time.】

【Note: Current registrant, Xing Hechou】

"This is just Captain Xing's Life Paper, there's no danger."

Xun Zi'an waved the A4 paper in front of his companions.

These elite members of the Mobile Task Force exchanged Life Paper with each other before entering the Shengnan King's dream,

so that their companions could know their condition,

and perhaps attract rescue.

"Let me see, what's wrong with Lao Xing now."

Xun Zi'an sat down in a chair, glanced at the A4 paper, and his eyes widened in the next second, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

The Life Paper in his hand suddenly tore open a corner with a ripping sound.

What's going on?

Xun Zi'an stood up abruptly, staring intently at the changes in the Life Paper.

"Tear—"

The paper tore again, and this time everyone could see clearly.

"Not good, Captain Xing is under attack!"

Chu Yin exclaimed, "Where is he now? We must save him quickly."

"Wait, don't rush."

Xun Zi'an's expression changed again, stopping Chu Yin, and raised the Life Paper, "Look carefully—"

On the A4 paper, the two tear marks, one on the left and one on the right, quickly returned to their original state, and there was no trace of the previous damage.

Shi Qi said blankly, "This is..."

"Captain Xing has been healed."

Zhu Xuemin frowned, and said uncertainly, "He was seriously injured first, and then healed as before in the blink of an eye?"

Tear—

The A4 paper tore again out of thin air,

and after a two-second pause, it healed as before in full view of everyone.

This happened several times in succession.

"..."

Zhu Xuemin stared intently at the changes in the A4 paper, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the Life Paper from Xun Zi'an, muttering, "Di di di di, di, di..."

"Di what?"

Shi Qi looked blank,

one would think that Zhu Xuemin was imitating a leaky faucet, or a patient with frequent, urgent, and incomplete urination.

"Morse code."

Zhu Xuemin said without raising his head, "The short tear mark on the paper is the dot in Morse code,

the long tear mark is the dash in Morse code,

a period of time without a tear mark is the space in the code.

Although I don't know what happened to Captain Xing,

it seems that someone is using the method of constantly injuring and healing Captain Xing,

to make the Life Paper change,

so as to pass information to us, or others who hold Captain Xing's Life Paper."

There's, there's such an operation??

Chu Yin and Shi Qi were dumbfounded.

Xun Zi'an, who had seen many storms, couldn't help but twitch his eye, and asked in a deep voice, "What information is the other side transmitting?"

"......-...-..---"

Zhu Xuemin wrote on the table with tea: "h, e, l, l, o.

Hello,

this is Li Risheng,

reply if you hear me."
