I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 95: Tracking

After flying through the night, Huaxiu felt a bit tired but still persevered in the search. Along the way, Lin Qing wanted to help Huaxiu control the flying boat, but Huaxiu said that his flying boat could not be controlled by outsiders, so Lin Qing had to give up.

After searching for the entire morning, Huaxiu gradually calmed down from his initial excitement. He also realized that it wasn't that simple.

There are many types of Sub-Mother Discs. There are second-order Sub-Mother Discs with a sensing range of over thousands of miles. But Lin Qing's Sub-Mother Disc only had a range of a mere three hundred miles, not to mention that when it was put in a storage bag, the range would shrink to just ten miles. This made it even more difficult.

In the afternoon of that day, Huaxiu and Lin Qing took a short rest.

"Lin Fellow Daoist, if we still can't find it tomorrow, I think Fellow Daoist should return first to avoid wasting time," Huaxiu said.

Lin Qing knew that Huaxiu meant well. Indeed, if they continued searching like this, what if it took them a year to find it? Could he keep up for a year? He could only return first.

After resting for a while, they continued their search. Lin Qing stood on the flying boat, looking at the distant sunset glow. Suddenly, he asked Huaxiu, "Huaxiu Fellow Daoist, I heard that you passed the imperial examination back then?"

Huaxiu lifted his head from the Sub-Mother Disc, looked into the distance as if he remembered something, and smiled slightly. "Yes, I did pass the imperial examination back then. To be honest, I didn't perform as well as I could have. I only got a low ranking in the second class. Otherwise, with my usual level, I wouldn't dare to say I could get into the first class, but I could at least get into the top of the second class."

Talking about the past, Huaxiu's face appeared much more relaxed. Then he suddenly thought of something and said to Lin Qing, "Back then, I was also a talented scholar in the county. I never failed in the imperial examinations. Sometimes, I even felt like I had the world in my hands. But..."

Huaxiu smiled and continued, "It wasn't until I started cultivating immortality that I realized this was the real grandeur. The two of us are now standing on a flying boat, able to see hundreds of miles at a glance, with magnificent scenery and dangerous valleys ahead, all within our view. This is something even the top scholar in the imperial examination couldn't achieve, not to mention the long lifespan."

"You're absolutely right, Fellow Daoist," Lin Qing nodded. He also pursued cultivation wholeheartedly for this reason.

However, Huaxiu didn't say anything more at this moment, and Lin Qing didn't speak either. The two of them looked into the distance. Cultivation was indeed good, but there were always some regrets.

After a long time, Huaxiu sighed, "It's a pity for my wife waiting at home."

The flying boat swiftly flew over countless mountains and valleys. After a moment of calm, Huaxiu looked at the Sub-Mother Disc in his hand, and the spiritual power surged even more.

They had already traveled five thousand miles east from Wu Jia Fang, which was one of the most likely routes for the group of criminals to escape. But they were already approaching the border of Zhao Kingdom, and the Sub-Mother Disc still showed no signs of activity.

Whether it was because it had been too long or because of the conversation just now, Huaxiu appeared even more exhausted. Lin Qing was about to suggest taking a rest, but unexpectedly, Huaxiu suddenly changed the direction of the flying boat and flew south at a high speed.

"Did you find something?" Lin Qing asked.

Huaxiu nodded and handed the Sub-Mother Disc to Lin Qing. Lin Qing took a look and saw that the trace of the Sub-Disc had already appeared about two hundred miles to the east.

"They are probably sorting out their gains. We have to hurry," Lin Qing said after examining the Sub-Mother Disc. Huaxiu nodded, and the speed of the flying boat increased by three points once again.

After more than a quarter of an hour, the flying boat had arrived in the airspace above where the Sub-Disc had been just a few minutes ago, but the trace of the Sub-Disc had already disappeared from the Mother Disc.

"They couldn't have known that we were coming. I'm afraid they put it back into the storage bag," Huaxiu said.

Monk Hua said, and then continued searching around this area. Lin Qing was also prepared, perhaps there would be a tough battle next, but he did not release the Purple Golden Toad, it was not the right time yet.

After searching for about half an hour, Monk Hua's face brightened and he headed towards a dense forest, then slowly descended.

Pointing to what seemed to be a cave entrance in the dense forest, Monk Hua said to Lin Qing, "My flying boat has the function of concealing our presence. The people inside don't know that we have come here, but when we put away the boat later, they might discover us. Fellow Daoist Lin, be prepared."

Lin Qing nodded, the flying boat landed, Monk Hua put it away, and they immediately rushed towards the cave.

"Boom!"

Just as they entered the cave, it seemed to trigger some kind of talisman, causing an explosion.

It seemed that they had been exposed. Monk Hua immediately hurried through the cave with Lin Qing, preventing the group of people from escaping.

The cave was very large, extending all the way down the mountain, about a hundred zhang deep. When Lin Qing and Monk Hua reached the bottom of the cave, there was no one inside, it seemed that they had already escaped.

Monk Hua didn't say anything, he used some kind of spell, his eyes instantly turned golden, and then he reached out and struck a rock at the bottom of the cave, shattering it and revealing a passage inside.

"Chase!"

Without Monk Hua needing to say more, Lin Qing immediately chased after him.

As they reached the end of the passage, it was an open space. They saw a flying boat already flying far away. Monk Hua didn't say anything, he immediately used his own flying boat. Lin Qing didn't board Monk Hua's flying boat, but used his own, following behind.

The escaping flying boat was very fast, but there was only one person on it, seemingly at the early stage of Foundation Building. Monk Hua's flying boat was faster than it, and after a few dozen breaths, Monk Hua caught up with the flying boat. Then he used some kind of net-like magical tool, instantly enveloping the flying boat. The cultivator on the flying boat tried to struggle, but was quickly subdued by Monk Hua.

By the time Lin Qing caught up, Monk Hua had already landed with the cultivator.

The captured cultivator was extremely afraid when facing Monk Hua, seemingly recognizing him, but he didn't recognize Lin Qing, and Lin Qing didn't recognize him either.

"Elder Hua, please let me go. I was just tempted and not the mastermind. There is someone else behind the attack on Wujia Fang." The captured cultivator said straightforwardly, knowing that it was meaningless to argue at this point.

Monk Hua looked at him and asked, "How do you recognize me?"

"I have seen your portrait." The person answered.

"Tell me everything you know." Monk Hua said.

Then the person began to speak, but after hearing it, both Monk Hua and Lin Qing were somewhat disappointed. This person was a scattered cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Building from Yan Kingdom. He was active on the border between Zhao and Yan Kingdoms. Some time ago, he met another Foundation Building cultivator who invited him to attack Wujia Fang together and gain some benefits. He didn't refuse, so he followed the group of cultivators to Wujia Fang the night before last. He was just a helper, let alone the identity of the other group of cultivators, he didn't even know them.

As for the other group of cultivators, not only did they have the Foundation Building cultivator who invited him, but also a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator, who seemed to be the mastermind. As for him, after gaining the benefits, he had already separated from that group of people.

After listening to the cultivator's words, Monk Hua and Lin Qing glanced at each other, knowing that what this person said should be accurate.

After all, there were no less than ten cultivators who attacked Wujia Fang the night before, and Monk Hua knew that there was indeed a mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator among them. This cultivator should only be an accomplice, lured by the promise of benefits.
