Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 65 Clues to the Spirit Stone

Zhang family.

Inside the pavilion, Zhang Yun逸 looked at Zhang Zhiqiang who was kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face.

At this time, Zhang Zhiqiang was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, and dared not raise his head.

Zhang Yunyi said coldly at this time: "Waste!"

"A bunch of trash!"

"One first-rank, two second-rank, and they couldn't kill a dying man who had been lying in bed for over two months!"

"What's the use of them!"

"Humph, you still want compensation? Go tell Zheng Kun that if he doesn't find the perfume making method, he won't see a single penny."

"Also, remind him not to forget who helped them rebuild the Blood Cloud Tower."

"The Zhang family can help rebuild the Blood Cloud Tower, or they can make it disappear."

After hearing what Zhang Yun逸 said, Zhang Zhiqiang, who was kneeling on the ground, was soaked with sweat.

If he were to convey these words, Zheng Kun, the butcher, would probably get angry and chop him to death.

But as a lackey of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhiqiang did not dare to go against what Zhang Yun逸 said.

Zhang Zhiqiang trembled and climbed up, "Yes, Master, I will go to the Blood Cloud Tower right away."

"Subordinates retire."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Zhiqiang turned and left the yard.

Looking at Zhang Zhiqiang's departing back, Zhang Yun逸 fell into deep thought.

Logically speaking, there should be no other strong people in Xiaoyao Palace except those two second-grade ones.

Could it be that Li Yunfan has made a breakthrough?
If Li Yunfan broke through to the first level, with his talent, he might really be able to kill a first-level warrior.

Li Yunfan is also well-known in the capital, and various noble families want to win him over. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoyao Palace has no resources for martial arts training, with Li Yunfan's martial arts talent, he would have broken through to the first level long ago, and might even have become a master.

It’s a pity that Li Yunfan is a loyal person. No matter what conditions the major families offer, he remains unmoved. The Zhang family also tried to win over Li Yunfan, but Li Yunfan also refused.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yunyi's face became even uglier. If a first-grade master appeared in Xiaoyao Palace, it would not be so easy to obtain the method of making perfume.

Of course, if no matter the cost, let Zheng Kun of the Blood Cloud Tower take action personally. Even if Li Yunfan breaks through to the first level, he will not be Zheng Kun's opponent.

However, Zheng Kun is notorious in the Great Zhou. If he takes action, it will attract the attention of certain masters in the capital, which will cause trouble.

The Zhang family would not let Zheng Kun take action unless it was absolutely necessary.

Zhang Yunyi muttered to himself at this moment: "Regardless of whether Li Yunfan has reached the first level or not, my Zhang family is determined to obtain the perfume making method!"

……

Xiaoyao Palace, inner courtyard.

Lu Ming sat in the pavilion, holding a brush and writing something on a piece of paper. As he wrote, he asked the maid beside him, "Where is Sister Yun?"

The maid replied, "Miss Su went to Liufang Pavilion early in the morning."

Lu Ming thought that it seemed that Su Wanyun didn’t know how to face him.

He didn't think much about it. Matters of the heart need to be taken slowly. The relationship between him and Su Wanyun is not like that between him, Wu Wanrong, and Dongfang Liyue.

His relationship with Wu Wanrong and Dongfang Liyue was purely based on lust and there was almost no emotion between them. However, he and Su Wanyun had lived together for so many years and a deep relationship had developed between them. It was impossible for him to force Su Wanyun to sleep with him right away.

After Lu Ming finished writing a piece of paper, he said to the maid, "Go and call Commander Li." "Yes, Your Majesty."

After a while, the maid brought Li Yunfan into the pavilion.

"Meet the king!"

Li Yunfan's tone became very respectful today, and his attitude towards Lu Ming had completely changed.

"I wonder what the king wants to talk to me about?"

Lu Ming continued writing on the paper, and as he wrote he asked, "How's the interrogation going?"

Li Yunfan replied, "They are all assassins from the Blood Cloud Tower. This assassination was carried out on a mission from the Zhang family. The Blood Cloud Tower is now under the control of the Zhang family."

Lu Ming said calmly, "These killers are not very professional."

Li Yunfan was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Ming's sudden words. He asked in confusion, "Why did the king say that?"

Lu Ming said, "If a normal assassin fails to complete their mission, they would immediately commit suicide by taking poison. Yet, they actually surrendered and even leaked information about the Blood Cloud Tower."

"Aren't they afraid that their relatives will be retaliated against by the Blood Cloud Tower?"

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Yunfan immediately said, "Two assassins committed suicide by taking poison during interrogation. The remaining assassins were mostly new to the Blood Cloud Tower. They weren't particularly loyal to the Tower, and they were intimidated by the Great King Immortal's identity, so they quickly confessed."

At this point, Li Yunfan asked, "My Lord, now that they have confessed everything they should, do you want to deal with them all?"

Lu Ming didn't answer immediately. The pen in his hand stopped in mid-air. He thought for a moment, then said, "Not for now. Someone in the palace is interested in these people."

Li Yunfan was slightly stunned. Is there anyone in the palace interested in the killer from Xueyun Tower?

Lu Ming put down the pen in his hand and handed a piece of paper on the stone table to Li Yunfan, "Have someone find the things on this paper. This king will be of great use."

Li Yunfan took the paper from Lu Ming's hand and glanced at some of the things listed on it.

Everything written on it is very precious, especially the blue glowing night pearl.

Li Yunfan immediately said, "Your Majesty, everything here is extremely valuable, especially this Night Pearl. I heard that the Third Prince once bought one from a barbarian for a whopping 100,000 taels of silver."

Hearing this, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Yunfan, "What did you say? The Third Prince has a night-shining pearl that emits blue light?"

What Lu Ming feared most was not being able to find spirit stones. After all, this was a world of martial arts, a world with very thin spiritual energy, and spirit stones must be very rare.

Now he asked Li Yunfan to look for these things, and Li Yunfan actually told him that there were spirit stones there.

Of course, it is still impossible to confirm whether the night pearl obtained by the third prince is a magic stone. The night pearl emitting blue light may also be some kind of gem.

Li Yunfan continued, "Yes, it is said that this night-shining pearl has a very strange effect. As long as a warrior gets close to this night-shining pearl, he will feel the meridians in his body become smooth, which is very helpful for martial arts training."

After hearing Li Yunfan's description, Lu Ming was basically certain that this was a spirit stone.
Spiritual energy can nourish the human body, but most people cannot feel it. However, because warriors’ meridians are opened up, they can clearly feel the benefits brought by spiritual energy.

The spirit stone is releasing spiritual energy to the outside all the time. If a warrior approaches it, he will naturally feel his meridians become relaxed.

I didn’t expect that there would be clues about the spirit stone so soon.

only……

Spirit stones are also helpful to warriors, and they are probably equally important to the Third Prince. It is probably not easy to obtain spirit stones from the Third Prince.

Lu Ming suddenly thought of something and said to Li Yunfan, "Spread the news. Say that I was assassinated last night and am in imminent danger. I need that blue-light-emitting stone as a medicine to prolong my life."

"If anyone has such a stone, Xiaoyao Palace is willing to buy it at a high price."
