This is a good day to kill someone.

The natural rain will wash away many traces, without leaving behind the residual fluctuations of spells.

On such a day of torrential rain, Jiang Wang sat cross-legged, a faint killing intent surging in his heart.

He neither restrained it nor resisted it.

From the day the Maple Forest City incident happened, he had the urge to kill someone.

But a wise man keeps his weapons hidden and strikes when the opportunity arises.

Now is indeed not a good time to kill.

Coming to Laiyang to handle the affairs of this celestite mine is mainly to avoid the limelight temporarily and concentrate on cultivation. Realize his potential as soon as possible and turn all the gains of this period into combat power.

However, this place is not as peaceful as imagined.

The boat wants to dock, but the storm doesn’t stop.

The Rotten Ke Mountain Blessed Land, the Sword Debate Stage roars into the Milky Way.

The Tongtian Realm matching challenge begins!

Without being modest, Jiang Wang is now a top-tier expert in the Tongtian Realm.

Even in the Taixu Illusion, a place where geniuses gather, he wins more than he loses.

After ten rounds, he only lost one game. He estimates that after a few more rounds, he can enter the top 100 and show his ranking.

The consumption of the Sword Debate Stage is borne by the loser.

A seventh-grade Sword Debate Stage wins forty points of merit per game. Of course, once you lose, you will lose eighty points of merit, including the merit consumed by the seventh-grade Sword Debate Stage and the merit you lost.

After the matching battle, Jiang Wang won a total of 280 points of merit, which is a small supplement. Now the total merit points have once again exceeded 4,000, reaching 4,080 points.

Of course, like Chong Xuan Sheng, in order to conceal his identity, he did not use his three original sword techniques in the matching battles.

After all, after the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm and the Lian Clan Ancestral Ceremony, he has entered the sight of many people, both overtly and covertly.

Once a trump card is seen, it is no longer a trump card.

Among the Taoist techniques that Jiang Wang now possesses, whether it is Flame Flower, or Flower Sea, Crown of Thorns, or Binding Tiger, none of them are unique secret techniques and will not reveal his identity. The Purple Qi Donglai swordsmanship integrated into each move is also the same.

It also constitutes his current complete combat system. Swordsmanship and the fire and wood elements of Taoism go hand in hand, complementing each other.

If it is said that in the Youmai and Zhoutian realms, the top 100 of the Taixu Illusion is the limit.

Then in the Tongtian realm, he wants to try to impact the feeling of being the first in matching.

This process will certainly not be simple.

But it must be interesting.

In the next few days, Jiang Wang stayed in the courtyard honestly, just cultivating behind closed doors every day.

He didn’t want to show his eagerness for the affairs of the mine, and strictly abide by the duty of a garrisoned monk to stay out of things.

During this period, except for Manager Hu finding a reason to come and see him once, nothing else happened, and everything was very peaceful.

In the eyes of outsiders, Du Gu’an quickly integrated into the life of the mining area.

On the fifth day, Jiang Wang found Manager Hu and said that he wanted to go to Jia City to take a look.

The extraordinary monks in the mine have five days of monthly leave every month, which they can spend freely. As long as they stagger their rest time with other monks to ensure that there are always extraordinary monks guarding the mine.

Other monks generally choose to do so at the end of the month, after escorting the miners back to town, and then move around on their own.

But Jiang Wang has just arrived and wants to go out for a walk, breathe fresh air, and see the customs of Jia City, which is also a very normal thing.

Manager Hu certainly would not refuse Jiang Wang’s reasonable request. He didn’t have the courage to do so, but just told Jiang Wang to come back earlier.

For this trip, Jiang Wang brought his maid Xiao Xiao and asked for Shuan Zi, who was beside Manager Hu, to help drive the carriage.

They did not stop in Qingyang Town, but went directly to Jia City after leaving the mining area.

As soon as Jiang Wang left, Ge Heng found Manager Hu.

“Didn’t you send that jar of wine over?”

Ge Heng’s eyes were gloomy, making Manager Hu’s heart palpitate.

He swore to heaven and earth. “Heaven and earth conscience, I sent it!”

“Then why is he still alive and kicking?”

“I’m just an ordinary person, how would I know about your cultivators? Did he see through it?”

“Nonsense! As long as you don’t leak it here, how could my Qingmu Immortal Sect’s secret technique be detected?”

“Master Ge, how could I dare to leak your affairs? Don’t you think so?” Manager Hu wiped his sweat and said cautiously: “Could it be that he doesn’t drink alcohol?”

“He’s gone now, I’ll ask that girl. I don’t think she dares to lie to me!”

“Xiao Xiao also went to the city with Du Gu’an…”

“Is she still very favored?” Ge Heng suddenly jumped with rage: “She gets weak in the knees when she sees young and handsome men, but she pretends to be a chaste woman in front of me!”

With a palm strike, the table in front of him instantly fell apart, and wood chips shattered all over the ground.

Manager Hu was startled and didn’t dare to say anything.

At this time, a voice came in from outside the door: “Lao Ge, why are you throwing a tantrum here again?”

Ge Heng didn’t want to expose the matter of poisoning and harming Jiang Wang, so he restrained his temper and said coldly: “Zhang Hai, why aren’t you staying in the courtyard to nourish your elixir? What are you running around for?”

“I’m looking for Lao Hu to buy some medicinal materials for me.” Zhang Hai said casually and walked into the room.

He glanced at the wood chips on the ground, “Oh, what happened here.”

“Nothing, nothing.” Manager Hu said with a smile: “This table is too fragile.”

Ge Heng didn’t say much, just glanced at Zhang Hai indifferently, and turned to leave.

Manager Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Among the monks in the mine before, this Zhang Hai was still considered normal.

Except for unrealistically hoping to refine some magical elixir and reach the sky in one step, he had no other problems.

He always only cared about his elixir, and all the Tao Yuan stones he had accumulated were invested in alchemy.

The other two, one named Xiang Qian, was hopeless and gloomy all day long. No one knew how he became an extraordinary being. The other was this Ge Heng, who was irritable and often beat and scolded people.

Sometimes Ge Heng’s actions were a bit excessive. Xiang Qian was too lazy to care, but Zhang Hai would sometimes say a few words.

Usually, Ge Heng would also give Zhang Hai some face.

In general, life in the mine was mostly peaceful, and being a mine manager was also a good job.

Having stayed here for so long, Manager Hu was really reluctant to break this peace.

Although this mine was about to dry up soon, he hoped that everything could barely be maintained until then.

This was his little dignity and decency.

The carriage was traveling, and wisps of floral fragrance overflowed.

Jiang Wang found an opportunity and cast Flower Sea.

This Taoist technique is most suitable for dealing with group battles. When fully deployed, it is a temporary battlefield. Jiang Wang made a small adjustment at this time, only using part of the power, focusing on the hallucinatory effect, and using it to inquire about some information.

Of course, it has no effect on dealing with extraordinary monks, but it is not a big problem for ordinary people.

“Shuan Zi, who are you most afraid of in the entire mine?”

Shuan Zi runs errands with Manager Hu all year round and is very familiar with the situation of the Hu Clan Mine.

Jiang Wang specifically asked for him to be the temporary coachman so that he could ask a few questions without attracting attention.

He first casually chose a simple question to determine the effect of the Taoist technique.

For ordinary people, top-grade B-level Taoist techniques are too powerful. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause irreversible damage.

The carriage moved slowly, and Shuan Zi didn’t think much. He subconsciously said, “Young master.”

“Young master?” Jiang Wang was stunned. He originally thought the answer would be the old man surnamed Ge. “Which young master?”

“The head of the pavilion’s son, Hu Family’s young master Hu Shaomeng.”

“Why are you afraid of him?”

Shuan Zi’s body trembled: “I saw him kill someone!”

“Who did you see him kill?”

“I…I…” Shuan Zi’s expression suddenly became very frightened, and his emotions became agitated.

The illusory flowers in the air swayed, as if they were about to be broken free at any time.

After all, Flower Sea is not a Taoist technique specifically used for asking for information, and it is not superior enough in this respect.

This level of application is not enough to interrogate further.

But if he increases the intensity, he may turn Shuan Zi into an idiot.

Without any grudges or hatred, Jiang Wang would not be so unscrupulous.

He immediately skipped this topic and comforted him: “Okay, okay, let’s forget about this for now.”

He flicked the whip lightly, and the horse’s hooves clattered.

The wheels turned smoothly.

After a while, when Shuan Zi finally calmed down under the effect of the Taoist technique, Jiang Wang continued to ask: “Why is the celestite mine here drying up so quickly?”

“I don’t know. But I heard the manager say once that it seems to be related to the Xi Family.”

The Xi Family is the family of the Jia City Lord, and also the target Jiang Wang wants to understand this time he enters the city.

In the Jia City territory, no matter what major events happen, it is impossible to bypass the Xi Family.

Shuan Zi’s vague answer coincides with Jiang Wang’s guess.

As the manager of the Hu Clan Mine, Manager Hu must know something. But if there is really something wrong with this mine, Manager Hu himself must be secretly monitored.

It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Wang did not try to use Taoist techniques to guide Manager Hu to speak.

Now that he has obtained clues from Shuan Zi, it is not a complete loss.

And he also remembered a name, Hu Shaomeng.

As the son of Hu You, the head of the Qingyang Town Pavilion, what role does the Hu Family’s young master play in these events that occurred in the mine?

The more closely you look at a simple mine depletion incident, the more complicated it becomes.

Under such a cloud of concealment, there must be a huge surprise that is worthy of being so concealed.

Of course, it could also be a fright.

Jiang Wang casually dispersed the Taoist technique.

Shuan Zi continued to hold the reins and carefully drove the carriage. Just now, he only felt that he seemed to be in a daze.

And the maid Xiao Xiao sat in a corner of the carriage, afraid that she would squeeze Jiang Wang, and almost curled up.

The reason why Xiao Xiao was brought to Jia City this time was entirely at her own request.

Jiang Wang understood her fear of the old man Ge, so he did not refuse.

Under the effect of the Taoist technique, she did not hear the conversation between the two just now.

Her eyes were fixed on the surface of her embroidered shoes, and she just pricked up her ears, waiting for Jiang Wang’s orders at any time.

She was very dutiful as a maid.

It is easy to make people feel pity.

But Jiang Wang has already closed his eyes and entered meditation again, continuing his cultivation.

It is early summer.

A peaceful carriage is driving on an empty official road towards a peaceful city.
