Chapter 538 Clues
He seemed to be an expressionless man, but his reputation had already spread. In just less than two months, he solved dozens of cases, big and small, some of which were old cases. He was fair in his actions and had solid evidence, which always convinced people.

Just because he never had any expression and no humanity, he was called the Iron-faced Constable, Fang Yuan.

In fact, Fang Yuansheng is not ugly, and can even be said to be pleasing to the eye. He does not have the kind of face that will amaze you at first sight, but the closer you look, the more you feel that his facial features are regular, and there seems to be a burning heart under his expressionless face.

On that face, there were a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to see into other people's minds.

Looking down, there is a high nose bridge and two not-so-obtrusive nasolabial folds extending on both sides of the nose.

The most beautiful thing about him is his mouth, which is neither too big nor too small, with a lip bead and some fine stubble on his chin, showing that he is not very old, but already has a unique masculine charm.

"Captain Fang is here, everyone, get out of the way and let Captain Fang take a look!"

With shouts, the crowd consciously made way for each other, and Fang Yuan walked over with steady steps. Today he was still wearing the uniform issued by the Six Gates, but it looked particularly majestic on him.

"Sir, the deceased was a martial artist, Du Laosi of the Iron Blade Sect. He was considered an expert in swordsmanship within the sect. Last night, someone reported seeing him drinking at Tianxiang Tower and arguing with a few people, but no fight ensued. This morning, he was found dead on a street corner. There were no wounds on his body, so it didn't look like he was beaten to death."

A young man lowered his head and reported a few words to Fang Yuan's ear. Fang Yuan nodded, but did not say anything. Instead, he continued to move forward and carefully examine the body of the deceased.

There is no doubt that Du Laosi is a strong man. As the backbone of the Iron Knife Sect, one can see at a glance the traces of martial arts training on his body. His arms are thicker than those of ordinary people, the calluses on his palms, and the long sword behind his back are all symbols of his identity as a warrior.

Fang Yuan took two steps forward and took a closer look. Indeed, as the person just reported, there were no obvious wounds on Du Laosi's body, and there was no trace of blood or signs of fighting or dragging on the ground. It seemed that he had collapsed here due to a sudden illness.

But his expression was very strange. He had a smile of seven points of satisfaction on his face, his brows were relaxed, and he seemed to be immersed in some extremely happy situation.

Fang Yuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he was secretly calculating in his mind.

"Wangshe, Xiao Sanxiao, Du Laosi is already the third one. Each one is like this, without any obvious marks, with a smile."

Seeing Fang Yuan's thoughtful look, no one dared to comment. However, under Fang Yuan's clothes, a jade-like pendant on his chest suddenly emitted a faint glow.

The pendant seemed to be a bamboo joint, but when the glow was emitted, it began to twist like a living thing, lying on Fang Yuan's chest as if absorbing something.

Fang Yuan naturally remained calm, but a light bulb went on in his head.

"The Jade Bamboo Gu can speed up one's thinking and greatly enhance the deduction effect. It is considered one of the most practical Gu insects in the acquired realm. Hehe, I can't believe that I, a great evildoer in my previous life, can now use the Gu insects to investigate crimes. If my old rivals knew about this, they would probably laugh their heads off!"

As a grandmaster of Gu Dao, Fang Yuan was invincible in his previous life. In addition to the true teachings from the Blood River, 70 to 80 percent of his abilities came from Gu worms. He knew the methods of refining various wonderful Gu worms in his mind, but was limited by his strength and materials. So far, Fang Yuan did not have many Gu worms in his hands.

Apart from the Five Fires and Six Qi Gu that was used to replenish the foundation before, the Jade Bamboo Gu is the most precious. It is very difficult to refine and requires a large amount of beautiful jade. If Fang Yuan did not know a jade mine, it would be really difficult to refine.

Unlike martial arts, weapons, or magic tools, Gu worms are strictly speaking living creatures. So although they are very effective, there is another difficulty, which is raising them!

The way of Gu: raise, use, and refine!
All three are indispensable. Take the Jade Bamboo Gu as an example. The materials needed to make it include various types of beautiful jade raw stones, the painstaking efforts of the Gu maker, and several spiritual insects and medicinal materials. The most important thing is the unique technique.

It often takes more than ten times to succeed once. After mastering it, it must be taken good care of. Some poisonous insects suck human blood, some use brain matter or the bone marrow of animals, some eat soil and gold, some eat ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, and the Jade Bamboo Gu uses a combination of jade and fresh bamboo to sustain life.

It can even increase the power or evolve the insect in the future.

As a grandmaster of Gu Dao, Fang Yuan is naturally well versed in this art, so he does not have many Gu insects in his hands, only six or seven, but each one is raised very well by him, and can play a role. Don't look at him as a warrior of the third level of acquired martial arts on the surface, but if he really uses his best skills, it will be absolutely difficult to defeat him unless he is innate.

After Fang Yuan's Jade Bamboo Gu had been activated and nearly 50% of his Qi had been consumed, it finally transformed into a bamboo-like jade pendant on his chest. A strange look flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes, but he remained calm. He nodded and said, "Collect the deceased's body and send it to the coroner for a thorough examination. This incident is extremely serious. We at the Six Gates will certainly handle it impartially and find the real culprit as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Fang Yuan turned and left, while the other people from the Six Gates cleaned up the scene and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Fang Yuan took a few more steps, thinking quietly in his heart.

Counting the days, it seems that the time for the Fox Fairy Secret Realm to be born is approaching, and the Six Gates will definitely be able to get a few places. Although my foundation is shallow now, there are not many suitable candidates around here except me. If they are forced to do so, I should be the one.

I haven't been in the Six Gates for long, but I do everything flawlessly. I don't think anyone will doubt my identity. But after coming out of the Fox Fairy Secret Realm, I have to think carefully about how to escape.

Because of my past cover-ups, those low-level spies naturally couldn't find out anything. But if I really got the Soul-Stirring Seal from the Fox Fairy's inheritance, I'm afraid they would even find out that I killed Xiaobai. The Six Gates would never tolerate that.

Fortunately, something is going to happen over there soon, so I have some chance to catch my breath. The legendary Soul-Shaking Seal contains a secret method that can strengthen the soul. It is not only very beneficial for breaking through from the acquired to the innate, but even in the realm of supernatural powers, it is a rare treasure. I want it!

As for the matter of Tianxiang Pavilion, it seems to be related to the incident in my memory.
Smell the fragrance.
Hehe, it’s just some of the things that the Demon Sect did to subvert Daha. In the big picture, it’s a century-long plan, but when it comes to implementation, it’s naturally not flawless, and there are always some loopholes.

Now that a major event is about to take place, with all parties involved constantly stirring, it seems that there are indeed a few people who are committed to investigating. In a previous life, it seems that many people discovered the Demon Sect's plan at the last moment, but how many corpses were buried in it? For a greater cause, how many fools have sacrificed their lives, hehe.
"Oh? Is that true?" Li Ming held the teacup, his face seemed very calm.

Wen Yuqing looked around and sighed at Li Ming's expression. "I know this may be hard to believe, but I guarantee with my life that everything I said is true!"

"Hahaha, you're the renowned scholar Yanyun in the martial arts world. Naturally, I can't help but believe you, but this is a matter of great importance." Li Ming chuckled. He gently spun the rim of his teacup while casting a sharp glance at the other party. "You're just empty talk! Am I going to fight the Demon Sect to the death just because of a word from you?"

At this moment, the elegant and quiet hall, which was filled with the fragrance of tea, was suddenly filled with murderous intent. Li Ming narrowed his eyes, and a gleam of light seemed to flash.

Wen Yuqing could only sigh deeply, his eyes filled with helplessness as he said, "My abilities are limited. I ventured into their main altar and simply took some of the fragments they were offering, only to be hunted down like this. And just now..."

As he spoke, the bitterness on his face grew stronger. He turned his gaze, seemingly catching the figure outside the window, and said, "I don't know what's going on. I don't remember it being like this before."

He reached out and pulled out an ordinary crystal stone. "I remember when I risked my life to steal this crystal stone from their headquarters, it had a terrifying evil aura that made me feel uncomfortable when I held it. But now it's just like any other stone."

Li Ming lowered his head and glanced at the crystal in his hand. "Perhaps it's because we left their headquarters that the special abilities within this crystal faded over time. By now, they've been completely depleted, which is why it's become like this."

Wen Yuqing said, "I just handed the crystal to Brother He at the end, hoping that I could hold the four generals of the Qi Clan and let him get out. I really don't know why it turned out like this."

Li Ming spread his hands. In fact, although Li Ming had never come into contact with this kind of thing in the main world, no, perhaps the formation plate in the Xuanzhen Secret Library was also a similar thing, which was only effective in the formation. This crystal stone might have been filled with some kind of energy, but obviously, it is gone now.

Wen Yuqing groaned and said, "No matter what, this matter concerns the entire Jiaozhou martial arts world and may even affect the overall situation in the world. Mr. Li, please do not stand idly by!"

Li Ming smiled and shook his head. He didn't respond, but instead said, "So, there are probably quite a few of their men in Nandu City right now. Although I have subdued the four generals of the Qi family, this place is not safe either. We could be exposed at any time, right?"

Wen Yuqing nodded and said, "Indeed, and the only people in Nandu who can capture the four generals of the Qi family silently are the Yue family and Mr. Li. I think that even if Mr. Li is unwilling to go against them, they will not let you go."

Li Ming sneered and said, "In that case, I really saved a hot potato."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qingyu's face flashed with embarrassment, and he coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Li saved my life, and I am deeply grateful. I will repay him even if it means staking my debt to him in the next life. However, what is more important right now is the Demon Sect's secret movements. What exactly do they want to do at the Qi Tide Banquet? This is the most crucial thing!"

"What?" Li Ming chuckled, then sighed and said helplessly, "How would I know what they want to do? But why did they have to run into me at this critical moment?"

Seeing Li Ming's attitude, Wen Yuqing felt relieved and said with a smile, "It seems that Mr. Li has made up his mind. That's very good, very good!"

After laughing a few times, his face suddenly flushed. Li Ming immediately stepped forward and pressed a few acupoints on him. At the same time, he injected a stream of Qi into him and warned him, "Your injuries and poisons are not yet resolved. They are only temporarily suppressed. Do not resort to violence. I will find a way for you."

Wen Yuqing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Ming just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

At the same time, He Wei, who had stayed up all night, stood at the door and stretched lazily. For some reason, he felt a chill in his chest. He rubbed it but found nothing wrong.

At this time, Yang An suddenly stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are quite good, kid. You are very impressive tonight."

"No way." He Wei touched the back of his head embarrassedly. "If only my martial arts skills were better, I could take action."

"You." Yang An smiled and said, "You're still too young. By the way, I saw Master take action yesterday. What was it like? Amazing, wasn't it?"

He Wei's eyes sparkled with stars, and he said in a tone of admiration, "Master is so amazing, and he uses his realm to overwhelm others. It's simply crushing them. It's so cool!"

"Hahaha, you don't know this." Yang An lowered his voice and leaned close to He Wei's ear and said, "Master, he taught me that as a warrior, you should be brave and diligent, but in certain situations, especially when you are out in the martial arts world, you must measure the difference in strength between yourself and your opponent before you attack. The greater the gap, the more satisfying the attack will be!"

Then he poured all his words about showing off in front of people, pretending to be awesome but then getting slapped in the face, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, etc. into He Wei, a young and green seedling.

But He Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he agreed deeply with it. He put himself in the past when Yang An tried to teach Zhao Hu a lesson. If he could kill Zhao Hu in one move, how satisfying it would be.

Yang An, however, showed a teachable attitude, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "You should practice hard, and strive to complete the acupoints as soon as possible, and then generate true energy naturally."

After Yang An left, He Wei also began to practice martial arts honestly. Just as he got into position, he suddenly felt a chill coming from his chest. His body, which was already stuck at the bottleneck, seemed to be penetrated by something, and a gentle force suddenly flowed around him.

He Wei was stunned and said to himself, "What is this?"
