He has so many beautiful girls around him, all of whom are immortals. Why would he need to go to the mortal world to find ordinary, common women?
He wanted to go and see, also because he heard from Zhang Lan that his father, Zhang Dawei, had been "investigating" Hongcui Tower for quite some time.
Lin Yi wanted to know whether Zhang Dawei, as a member of the Jingye Division, was truly hopelessly infatuated with his girlfriend, or had he actually discovered something.
In short, it's outrageous that the chief constable of the Jingye Division in one area doesn't focus on his duties and protecting the people, but instead spends all his time conducting investigations at the Hongcui Tower.
Although this was not something Lin Yi should be concerned with, since he wanted to, he did. There was no question of whether he should or shouldn't.
It might be what the ancients meant by "following one's heart's desires without transgressing the rules"—I can do whatever I want, and no rules have ever stopped me.
Judging from Lin Yi's words, he seemed to have the idea of reforming the Jingye Division of Yuzhang County, and Bai Lianxian couldn't help but shake her head.
No wonder Lin Yi is so busy; he's always finding things to do for himself. Otherwise, with Lin Yi's cultivation level and Jiang Linglong's powerful support, he could simply stay at home and not do anything, focusing solely on pursuing immortality.
There's no need for things to be like this now, arriving in Changsha in the morning and Yuzhang in the evening. The journey, though not too arduous, is still quite exhausting.
Upon arriving in Yuzhang County, having found no useful information, Lin Yi could have rested or gone elsewhere, but he insisted on getting involved in the inaction of the Jingye Division. When it comes to creating trouble out of nothing, Lin Yi is undoubtedly number one.
Soon, Lin Yi followed Zhang Lan to the Red Jade Pavilion. Judging from his familiarity with the place, he was obviously a regular customer.
Lin Yi activated his Heavenly Eye, and the world before him instantly changed. All the buildings became transparent, and every trace of energy within them was revealed.
A cloud of foul air rose almost skyward, affecting both the girls of the Red Jade Pavilion and the guests who came here for entertainment.
This Red Jade Pavilion is a place that harbors filth and corruption, so it's not surprising that the people here have this kind of aura.
However, Lin Yi also clearly saw more than twenty women with long tails.
Good heavens, have we stumbled into a fox's den?
Although it's not uncommon for demons to infiltrate the city, how could the Jingye Division not know about so many monsters gathered here?
All living beings possess energy, and where demons gather, demonic energy will surely soar to the heavens.
Although not everyone can observe qi, Lin Yi only mastered the method of observing qi after opening his third eye. However, when a kind of qi is too strong, even if it cannot be seen with the naked eye, one's body will react.
It's like passing through a place with heavy malevolent energy; you can't see anything, but your body inexplicably feels a chill.
The presence of fox demons in the Red Jade Pavilion is bound to cause unease, especially for cultivators who will be even more sensitive to this.
"Senior, what's wrong?"
Zhang Lan was initially excited to help his senior find someone, but when they arrived at the door, Lin Yi stopped moving, which puzzled and worried him.
He knew he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything tonight, but he was happy to have Lin Yi ruin his father's plans.
It's his own fault for never taking me along!
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't move, he was almost ready to urge him directly.
Lin Yi glanced at him and guessed his bad intentions.
Bringing people to sweep away your father's yellow [illegible], what a filial son!
"Let's go, let's take a look first, there's no rush to find your father."
Lin Yi doesn't yet know who his father is, or whether he's loyal or treacherous. He needs to be given a chance to prove himself.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, senior."
Although we can't catch his father right away, this will do.
Zhang Lan led Lin Yi into the Red Jade Pavilion, and then very generously led him into a private room before summoning the girls.
Ten girls came in for anyone to choose from, and they were indeed quite attractive.
Lin Yi had assumed that the girls in this kind of place wouldn't be very pretty. During his last research trip, only Xin San Niang was considered somewhat attractive.
The girls here are quite beautiful, although only one of them is a fox demon, while the others are just mortals.
Zhou Cuicui, a fox clan servant, hides in a brothel to collect human essence; killing her grants her a hundred years of cultivation.
This is a fox demon that is only a hundred years old. To Lin Yi now, it is just a small monster that he can crush at will.
Moreover, after undergoing two tribulations, the benefits have decreased significantly. Although the theoretical cultivation level is one hundred, the actual improvement for me is only equivalent to twenty-five years.
This is because one's overall strength has improved so much that further improvement on that basis would naturally double the difficulty.
Even a small fly is still meat, let alone a hundred-year-old demon, which is no longer considered a fly. Lin Yi killed a ghost who had gained power in just a few dozen days, let alone a hundred-year-old demon.
However, this week, Cuicui is not just a fox demon. In the description, she is a fox clan servant who stays here to consume human essence in order to collect blood and qi.
Since they are servants, they must have masters.
Lin Yi immediately thought of Yan Qingqiu. Besides this Lord of Qingqiu, who else could be the master of the fox clan?
If he kills these fox demons and ruins Yan Qingqiu's grand plan, she will definitely come for revenge, right?
Thinking about the potentially serious consequences, Lin Yi immediately became nervous.
"Although I could kill them in one go, I absolutely cannot let anyone know that I killed the foxes."
Lin Yi certainly didn't intend to let these demons who devoured human essence go, even if they might be Yan Qingqiu's subordinates, he wouldn't show any mercy.
However, when fighting against evil elements, you must be careful to protect yourself.
"My two flower-like features are too obvious. I'll disguise myself later and kill them with talismans."
Lin Yi quickly came up with a solution. His main strengths were in swordsmanship and physical strength, and although he had some knowledge of talisman cultivation, no one except Xiao Se would know that he was a dual cultivator of talisman and qi.
Cultivators of the third rank or above can only choose one path. Lin Yi has forged his own unique path, which is why he is different from others.
If he casts a spell with power of grade three or higher, he can obliterate the fox demon, and even Yan Qingqiu won't be able to find him!
Lin Yi had already devised a plan, but showed no sign of killing intent.
Zhou Cuicui was unaware of the impending disaster and was still striking poses.
It was at this moment that a handsome young man entered the Red Jade Pavilion, and in his shadow, it seemed as if a black cat was lurking...
Chapter 310 The music continues, the dance continues.
The young man who entered the brothel was naturally desolate.
She set off earlier than Lin Yi. After saying goodbye to her, Lin Yi lingered at Qu Jing's place for a long time and even fought with Bai Lianxian for half a day. In total, he was a day behind Xiao Se in terms of the journey, but he still arrived in Yuzhang County ahead of Xiao Se.
Coincidentally, neither of them knew the other's destination. Xiao Se was even more unaware that Lin Yi was planning to travel the world with his sword, and thought he would stay at home!
They might arrest a prefect and then replace his identity—
This was a plan Lin Yi had mentioned before, wanting Xiao Se to take control of Xing Sha City. Xiao Se had considered it, but she now had other things to do, so the matter of becoming the prefect was temporarily put on hold.
Yuzhang County was just Xiao Se's first stop. According to the information her mother left her in a dream, she knew that cultivation alone was far from enough to improve her strength.
Breaking through to the second or even first rank in cultivation wouldn't be of much help in solving her problems. What she needed to do was enhance her bloodline power and fuse with dragon energy.
The dragon energy within her wasn't enough to support her becoming emperor, but it did create a significant affinity with the Southern Dynasty's dragon vein, making things much easier for her in the future.
For example, since she has merged with dragon energy, if she were to use Taoist magic to curse and kill a prefectural governor, it would not trigger a backlash from the dragon vein.
However, fusing with the dragon vein is not an easy task. If she still had the status of a prince, she would now be the crown prince, and fusing with the dragon vein would be a piece of cake for her.
But she dares not return to the capital now, and she no longer dares to use the identity of Xiao Se.
Therefore, she had to use another method to integrate the dragon energy, which was to find the nodes of the dragon vein.
Jiangzhou is a very important place in the dragon vein, which is why Xiao Se came to Yuzhang, intending to find a suitable place to cultivate.
She had just accumulated enough Daoist essence to attempt to break through to the second rank.
With what the Demon Emperor left her, she could easily advance directly to the first rank. Advancing to the second rank first was to ensure a solid foundation and to digest the Daoist essence given by the Demon Emperor before advancing to the first rank.
She had only come to the city for her own reasons, but as soon as she entered, Wu Yun saw a demonic aura rising into the sky from somewhere.
To see such a scene in the city must be the work of demons.
Xiao Se was, after all, someone who had worked in the Jingye Division and had been influenced by Lin Yi.
Now that she has seen this, she cannot sit idly by.
So, Xiao Se also came over.
Little did she know that before she arrived, Lin Yi had already had the girls inside playing music and dancing.
"What a foul smell."
As soon as Xiao Se entered the Red Jade Pavilion, she felt an unsettling atmosphere. Dark clouds, hidden in her shadow, ruthlessly remarked, "This place is inherently filthy; it's no wonder the air here is so foul!"
"Hmph, I don't think the demons here are that powerful. Go and kill them all later."
dark clouds:"……"
She's just a harmless little kitten, only good for bullying lonely ghosts.
Her reconnaissance skills are excellent, but her combat abilities pale in comparison.
It can only be said that Xiao Se has become increasingly inhuman since leaving Lin Yi's side, especially since he no longer treats it like a cat.
It's one thing to make it grow bigger and use it as a mount on the road, but now it's being used as a henchman.
Goodness gracious, is this how you train subordinates?
"Your Highness, I think we should wait and see. It's really unusual that the demons here can be so powerful while the city is peaceful."
Moreover, Jiangzhou is the territory of Longhu Mountain. The fact that these demons are so brazenly devouring human essence in Yuzhang County suggests there are significant connections behind it.
The kitten's observation skills have always been quite good, but what surprised Xiao Se was her reasoning and analytical abilities.
Previously, Wu Yun had never shown any talent in this area, and Xiao Se was not very good at it either. It was only after Lin Yi trained her for a period of time that she gradually mastered it.
Wu Yun spoke very fluently, clearly a seasoned pro.
This guy has been hiding his true intentions quite well!
Xiao Se knew perfectly well that Wu Yun could speak so fluently simply because he was being lazy.
But now is not the right time to take action. What I learned most from Lin Yi was not how to summarize and analyze, but how to do things steadily.
Xiao Se decided to first have a few girls put on a show, then send Wu Yun out to scout out the situation before deciding what to do next.
She requested a private room and called over some girls to choose from.
Dark Cloud whispered a reminder: "The fourth one from the left is a demon."
Wu Yun's innate ability allows her to more accurately detect differences in aura, while Xiao Se is still using the method Lin Yi taught her to judge. As a result, she is neither as fast nor as accurate as Wu Yun.
