"What? Feng'er's Life Slip has shattered!?"
In a beautiful garden in Martial Numinous Palace, a middle-aged man who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty beast. He stared intently at the shattered jade slip in the maidservant's hand. The maidservant's breathing stagnated. She was afraid that the middle-aged man would vent his anger on her.
The middle-aged man extended his hand and beckoned, causing the jade slips to fly into his hand. Each jade slip contained a wisp of Li Yunfeng's remnant soul. Once Li Yunfeng died, the jade slip would shatter. Not only that, he could also use the spiritual connection in the jade slip to find the approximate location of Li Yunfeng's death. If he was lucky, the murderer had not left in time.
The middle-aged man held the jade slip in his hand with an extremely ugly expression. The Martial Numinous clan, which had an ancient bloodline, had inferior reproductive abilities compared to the mortal-born. Even those who had lived for tens of thousands of years did not have many descendants. The purer the bloodline, the more it was so. For example, Li Yunfeng's father, Li Jiuxiao, only had about eight descendants. Among them, Li Yunfeng was the most outstanding.
Li Jiuxiao's hatred for Li Yunfeng's death was obvious.
Fifteen minutes after Yi Yun left, Li Jiuxiao arrived at Old Man Wang's residence. However, all he saw was an empty house.
"Ah!"
Li Jiuxiao roared as the entire house was destroyed by Yuan Qi. It was blasted to smithereens. He scanned his surroundings with his perception but failed to discover anything. This left Li Jiuxiao's heart cold. This meant that his son had died in vain!
His son had been killed in Martial City but he could not find the murderer. This feeling drove him mad.
As he looked at the ruins, Li Jiuxiao scanned the area with a sullen expression. He said to the servants behind him, "Immediately investigate where this place is!"
"Master, there's no need to investigate. This is Wang Mu's residence. Young Master Yunfeng once mentioned that he would come here. As Wang Mu is no longer a disciple of the Martial Numinous clan, there are plans to reclaim his house. Young Master must have come to visit Wang Mu because he was acquainted with him … "said one of the servants.
"Wang Mu!" Li Jiuxiao's gaze turned cold as he raised his hand to interrupt the servant.
Li Jiuxiao naturally knew his son's personality very well. It was impossible for Li Yunfeng to really visit Wang Mu. It was likely that he was there to kick him while he was down.
Regardless of what Li Yunfeng did, Li Jiuxiao did not care about it. However, it was different if Li Yunfeng lost his life here. No matter who it was, if they dared to touch Li Yunfeng, he would skin them alive and torture them to death for a thousand years!
…
And at that moment, Li Yunfeng's murderer, Yi Yun, had already arrived outside Martial Numinous Palace. Martial Numinous Palace was a city within a city. The city walls that surrounded Martial Numinous Palace were a hundred meters tall, reaching straight into the clouds. The city walls were made of Mystic Iron and looked extremely heavy. The city walls were engraved with Dao patterns. After being augmented by the Martial Numinous clan's array masters for thousands of years, the Dao patterns were one with the city walls. Once activated, it would be impregnable.
Martial Numinous clansmen stood guard around the city walls. All of them were dressed in uniform silver armor. They held long spears in their hands and their energy billowed like smoke. Just this lineup alone made the outsiders who came to Martial Numinous Palace feel apprehensive.
Martial Numinous Palace did not allow flight so Yi Yun walked straight into the palace.
"Pass!"
When Yi Yun approached the city gates, two tall Martial Numinous clansmen spoke in a low, muffled voice.
Yi Yun flashed his pass.
"The entrance fee is a hundred mid-grade Spirit Jade!"
Yi Yun's brows pricked up. The Martial Numinous clan could enter Martial Numinous Palace for free but outsiders had to pay. However, the fee was just too high. Warriors with meager wealth could not afford it.
Yi Yun threw out a bag of Spirit Jade and stepped straight into Martial Numinous Palace.
Although Martial Numinous Palace was called a palace, it was in fact not the residence of the Martial Numinous royalty. Instead, it was the residence of the entire Martial Numinous clan. It was no different from a city. Upon entering the palace, there was a three-hundred-foot-wide street. On both sides of the street were magnificent pavilions. These pavilions also had shops and restaurants. There were many pedestrians on the streets. The restaurants were staffed by waiters and shopkeepers. There were no eunuchs or palace maids.
After searching Li Yunfeng's soul, Yi Yun gained a general understanding of the layout of Martial Numinous Palace. He walked straight for Heaven Refinement Pavilion.
Heaven Refinement Pavilion was exquisitely built. It stood tall and had several floors. There was a plaque hanging outside the door with the words' Heaven Refinement 'written on it. The calligraphy was extremely domineering.
The Dao of alchemy could reach the heavens. At its most profound, one could refine pills that could defy the Heavenly Dao. However, that was already a legendary realm. The divine alchemist wanted to refine the Pill of Resurrection. If he succeeded, he would have refined a pill at the Heaven Refinement level. Unfortunately, he failed.
The Heaven Refinement Pavilion was truly confident in using the name 'Heaven Refinement.'
Just as Yi Yun arrived in front of Heaven Refinement Pavilion, an attendant immediately came forward to welcome him.
The attendant was dressed in alchemy attire. He was a low-level alchemist with a cultivation level at the Dao Manifestation realm.
Even the attendants of Heaven Refinement Pavilion were low-level alchemists.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" asked the attendant as he walked over.
"I'm here to buy medicine," said Yi Yun as he casually listed the herbs he wanted.
The pill Yi Yun wanted to refine came from the 'Dragon Emperor Technique.' The pill recipe was unique so he was not worried that the attendant would connect it to something just by hearing a few herbs.
The attendant nodded and led Yi Yun into the store. Following that, he said, "Sir, please wait here for a moment. I'll check on your behalf."
"Alright."
Yi Yun began strolling around the store. The storefront on the first floor was probably for display purposes. Yi Yun did not see any rare herbs, and most of the pills on display were refined by the Heaven Refinement Pavilion's alchemists. Their grades were not very high either.
The truly good stuff could probably only be seen upstairs.
Just as Yi Yun was waiting, another group of people arrived outside the door.
These people were dressed rather plainly and their cultivation levels were not very high.
Just as they arrived at the entrance, another attendant walked out of Heaven Refinement Pavilion and led them to a corner of the store. Following that, another alchemist was invited. His alchemy cultivation level was only slightly better than the attendants, so he did not catch Yi Yun's eye.
The moment the alchemist appeared, these people immediately took out bags of items from their interspatial rings.
Yi Yun only took a glance at them before paying them no further attention. These people were likely here to gather herbs. They took out fresh herbs and the alchemist was in charge of evaluating them.
