"That piece of paper was merely something I used as a test to see if Guan Qi and Jian Xiaotian were on our side," said Lin Long with a faint smile.
Just a bait? Pan Yingwu didn't believe Linlong's words. In his opinion, that piece of paper must have another meaning.
However, when he saw Linlong's expression, Pan Yingwu could only swallow his doubts. He shook his head and left helplessly.
This piece of paper indeed had another meaning, but Linlong couldn't tell Pan Yingwu the true meaning of this piece of paper, because if he did, many secrets would be exposed.
As for the true meaning of 'four' and 'zero', they were referring to Huang Tong's true age. Before entering the secret realm, Huang Tong had just passed forty years old. This was something that Guan Qi and Huang Yu were well aware of. Thus, when Linlong heavily wrote these two words on the piece of paper, the two people who received it immediately understood what was going on.
This meant that Linlong already knew Huang Tong's secret, knew why Huang Tong entered the secret realm, and even Huang Yu was ordered by Linlong to kill Huang Tong.
Although Linlong was their enemy, and even though Guan Qi and Huang Yu would definitely be caught by Pan Qi if they sided with Linlong, in the face of right and wrong, Guan Qi and Huang Yu still chose to side with Linlong and chose to sacrifice themselves.
The reason was very simple. If they still chose to side with Pan Yinghao and the others, Linlong would definitely reveal Huang Tong's real purpose in entering the secret realm. At that time, not only the two of them would be persecuted, but the entire Huang Family would also be attacked by Yangning Island.
That would be the end of the Huang Family.
Therefore, in the face of right and wrong, they finally made such a choice.
This was their last resort, and they had no other choice.
The following days were calm. Other than occasionally seeing the old lady's illness, or Pan Mulan coming to chat with him for a while, Linlong had nothing else to do.
Then after two days, Linlong finally succeeded in refining the medicine.
As soon as the medicine was refined, Linlong immediately took it, and then operated the Dantian Record to absorb the medicinal power.
It took Linlong half an hour to completely absorb the medicine.
As soon as it was completely absorbed, Linlong felt that his body had undergone a great change. Originally, even when he was sitting, he felt as if there was something spying on him.
But now, this feeling was obviously weakened, and sometimes it didn't even feel like this.
This should be the effect of the medicine. Linlong nodded in satisfaction.
This was naturally due to Lin Long's powerful Spiritual Force. If it was any other outsider who entered the Yangning Palace, they wouldn't have such a feeling even if they took the medicine.
Of course, this feeling was only subconscious. To prove that the drug was effective, Linlong still had to experiment.
The method of the experiment was very simple, which was to pretend to walk to a place where there was no one, but where there were important resources.
After experimenting a few times, no one came to find trouble with Linlong. This directly made Linlong feel at ease, because this proved that the drug really worked.
After that, whenever night fell, Linlong would search the core area of Yangning Palace like a wandering spirit.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed, but as time passed, Lin Long's frown deepened, because he simply could not find any traces left behind by Situ Feng.
In the end, even after he had searched the entire core area of Yangning Palace, he still could not find it.
Was Feng 'er not here? Linlong even had this illusion.
But he quickly denied this, because Pan Qi had brought Situ Feng here for this Rune Formation, and it was impossible for him to put Situ Feng somewhere else.
Since that was the case, she must be in this core area, but he had not found her yet.
In the end, Linlong made the decision to take the risk out of desperation.
Linlong's method was to capture an elder, and then use some means to make him tell him where Situ Feng was.
This method was very dangerous in the past, and one mistake could cause him to lose everything. But now, Linlong had a very good candidate, and that person was Elder Long, who was imprisoned in the dungeon.
The danger of interrogating Elder Long was undoubtedly much lower.
Relying on his own strength, the powerful ability of the Dantian Record to hide his aura, and of course, the slacking of the guards in the dungeon, Linlong secretly entered the dungeon and came to Elder Long.
Seeing Linlong appear, Elder Long said angrily, "Lin Li, what are you here for?"
At this time, he even thought that Lin Long had entered the dungeon with Pan Qi's permission.
Lin Long could not be bothered to answer him, and directly subdued him. After Elder Long entered the dungeon, his body had already been restricted, and he could not use Profound Qi at all, so how could he resist? As soon as Lin Long moved, he could only obediently sit on the ground.
Next, Lin Long naturally used some means to make Elder Long spit out the secret in his heart.
Because Elder Long was in a separate cell, everything that Lin Long did was not seen by anyone else.
Very soon, Elder Long told him what he knew, but what made Lin Long speechless was that Elder Long did not know who Situ Feng was, and did not know that a woman had been brought into the core area by Pan Qi.
According to Elder Long, even the other elders didn't know about this.
Lin Long understood that Pan Qi had brought Situ Feng into the core area alone, which meant that other than Pan Qi, no one knew where Situ Feng was now.
Thinking that his efforts had been in vain, Lin Long had no choice but to leave the dungeon.
Before leaving, he naturally placed a restriction on Elder Long, a restriction that Pan Qi would definitely not be able to break. His intention was naturally to prevent Elder Long from revealing the fact that he was here.
Where was it? Lin Long really had a headache.
In the end, he could only place his hopes on the Secret Runes Book. After all, the Runic Formation was created because of the Secret Runes Book, and he might be able to find a way by reading it.
This hope made Lin Long focus all his energy on the Secret Runes Book.
After a few days of hard work and analysis, Linlong finally found a feasible method in the 'Secret Book of Runes'.
However, it was difficult to say whether this method could find Situ Feng, and he would only know after putting it into practice.
This method was to use a rune term to test the surrounding Runic Formation to see where there was a hidden space.
This was thanks to the fact that the Runic Formation was derived from the Secret Runes Book, and the rune term was likely to resonate with the Runic Formation. Otherwise, Lin Long would not have thought of this at all.
