Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

Hearing Liu Mengying's words, Ye Fan immediately stood up and looked in the direction she pointed.

As Ye Fan and Liu Mengying watched, a black dot continued to grow larger in the air. It turned out to be a figure. After a while, an old man in a black robe appeared in everyone's sight.

"A king-level profound cultivator?"

Seeing the person coming, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, because being able to soar in the air is a sign that a cultivator's Xuan Qi cultivation has reached the king level.

Immediately, Ye Fan frowned slightly, because the black robe of the old man in black robe had the same music score pattern as the clothes on Xu Jiangtao...

"Did you see two young people, a man and a woman? One of them was wearing white clothes with music sheet patterns on them!"

"Speak, or die!"

The old man in black robe glanced at Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and others below him, then spoke with a look of indifference and pride.

"oh?!"

As soon as the old man in black robe finished speaking, Ye Fan responded indifferently.

Immediately, he took a step forward, but instead of walking forward, he stepped firmly into the void.

Seeing this, the black-robed old man with the music score pattern changed his expression. He just noticed that the fluctuation of the profound energy on Ye Fan was extremely weak, almost non-existent. In addition, Ye Fan looked like a young man who had just started out, so he did not take Ye Fan and others seriously at all. He did not expect that Ye Fan was actually a master of the king level like him...

"My friend, there is no need to get angry. The two young men I just mentioned are the younger generation of our sect. That's why I spoke too hastily!"

Seeing Ye Fan stepping into the air step by step to stand in a position similar to his own, the black-robed old man with the music score pattern softened his tone. Although Ye Fan looked young, he just thought that Ye Fan was disguising himself in order to win the favor of the young and beautiful Liu Mengying...

Seeing this, Ye Fan felt slightly relieved. The reason why he responded so quickly was because he was worried that the caravan members would be frightened by the other party's strength, so he just said everything...

Fortunately, the reaction of the black-robed old man in the music score pattern was as he expected, and all his attention was on him...

"Didn't see it!"

Ye Fan looked at the old man in black robe with a music score pattern expressionlessly and replied indifferently.

After saying this, without waiting for the other party to respond, Ye Fan turned and walked towards where Liu Mengying was, still taking one step at a time.

"Anything else?"

Ye Fan frowned when he returned to the ground, because the old man in black robe with the music score pattern did not leave, but followed him.

"This... My dear friend, I have been traveling for many days and my stomach is already empty. It is noon now. I wonder if you can give me some convenience..."

"no!"

Before the old man in black robes finished speaking, Ye Fan directly refused. He knew that this guy was most likely in the same group as Xu Jiangtao, and he didn't want to aid the enemy. Besides, the food he cooked was just right for him and Liu Mengying...

"this………."

The old man in black robe was about to continue speaking when suddenly, a small red dot appeared in the misty sky in the distance, followed by a second small red dot.

Upon seeing this, the old man in the black robe with the music score pattern did not continue speaking, but flew up and headed straight for the direction where the small red dot appeared.

“I didn’t expect that the skill I learned by chance when I saw the submerged black fish jumping in the air in Black Water Town would come in handy in this situation!”

Watching the figure of the old man in black robe with the music score pattern disappear in the white mist, Ye Fan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Brother, that little red dot... is probably a signal firework!"

At this time, Liu Mengying spoke up, "It might be a distress signal sent by Xu Jiangtao and his gang!"

"Forget it, don't worry about him!"

"Let's leave here right after dinner. It will take the old man a long time to find Xu Jiangtao. Besides, there must be some other restrictions in the Ailao Forest. The old man can't fly in the sky all the time. Otherwise, when he finally enters the forest, he won't be back to the ground..."

"Even if that old man really came back, we would have left long ago!"

When Ye Fan was speaking, he had already opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of three-layer meat and salty rice immediately filled the air.

"Oh, okay, let's eat first~"

..........

After Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and the rest of the caravan had a hearty meal, they set out on their journey again. As Ye Fan had expected, the old man in the black robe with the music score pattern did not catch up with them...

The rest of the journey was quite smooth. Apart from various wild beasts, giant pythons, poisonous snakes, etc., we did not encounter any other people along the way...

In addition to practicing the mysterious movements recorded in the Tianyuan Fragments, Ye Fan spent most of his remaining time studying the Xuan Cuffs, because this thing was quite magical, especially for suppressing the strength of Xuan practitioners... According to Ning Zimo, this Xuan Cuffs could even suppress the legendary Jun-level Xuan practitioners...

...........

One evening,

"It's so nerve-wracking!"

Ye Fan muttered and lay down on the lawn. He looked at the colorful clouds in the distant sky with a depressed expression.

Because they were about to exit the Ailao Forest, and there was little miasma and fog here, and the view was very broad, the group decided to rest here for a day.

Ye Fan tried to make the key for the Zhenxuan cuffs again... But the result was the same as his previous attempt. The complex mysterious patterns were carved out, and the shape of the key was exactly the same... But except for the one he stole, no one could open the Zhenxuan cuffs...

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Liu Mengying, who was painting not far away, noticed Ye Fan holding a grass root in his mouth with a depressed look, and couldn't help but speak out.

"Oh, that's it..."

Ye Fan quickly talked about his research on Zhenxuan Cuffs in recent times.

"Big brother, could it be that we are missing the Yinxuan Stone?"

Liu Mengying frowned and thought for a while, then spoke.

"Yinxuan Stone? What is that?"

Ye Fan turned his head and looked at Liu Mengying with questioning eyes.

"I don't know the details... I just know it's a very special stone..."

"When I was studying at Mingyuan College, I heard the instructor of the college say that Yinxuan Stone is a very special stone. It is often mistaken for Xuanqi Stone, but it is not Xuanqi Stone. There is not a trace of Xuanqi in Yinxuan Stone. But generally speaking, finding Yinxuan Stone is almost like finding Xuanqi Stone veins, because Yinxuan Stone is born along with Xuanqi Stone veins!"

"According to what the teacher said, there is a saying among the people that the reason why the Zhenxuan Cuffs can suppress the cultivation of Xuan practitioners, in addition to the mysterious Xuan patterns on the Zhenxuan Cuffs, is because the material used to make the Zhenxuan Cuffs contains Yinxuan Stone... But no one can explain the details... After all, the Zhenxuan Cuffs, like the Xuanwei Armor, are exclusively supplied to the royal family..."

Liu Mengying quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"Oh, big brother, speaking of Zhenxuan Cuffs, I remembered something. After we arrive in Qinhuai City, we can go and explore it!"

After a pause, Liu Mengying spoke again, "When Sister Ning was going to arrest someone, someone from the Fengtian government office complained that there were not enough Zhenxuan cuffs. It seemed that it was caused by the untimely transportation from Qinhuai City... I was curious and asked about it. Sister Ning said that Qinhuai City was an important place for the manufacture of Zhenxuan cuffs..."

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but become very interested in Qinhuai City.

"Come on, Xiaodouya, let's go for a walk~"

"Good~"

...........

under the setting sun,

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying were walking side by side on a hillside. The evening breeze was gentle and the scenery was beautiful, which was very pleasant.

"By the way, Boss Pan, why do you dress so beautifully?"

When passing by the caravan, Ye Fan spoke in confusion, because he found that today was a day of rest, and almost all the members of the caravan changed into new clothes. The only seven female members also dressed up, and even the horses had their manes combed and were fed a lot of fine grains...
