After leaving the tavern, Li Mingyang communicated with Xingqing. They both felt that they could no longer stay in the inn and should find a way to find a long-term place to stay. They all believe that finding the secret of the ring cannot be solved overnight. Since the city has been under martial law for several months, it must have been caused by the temple incident. Now, the safest place is in the city. The first thing to do now is to find a place to stay. The place.

Then Li Mingyang walked to the shopping street, looked for the items he needed in the shops, and bought some useful elixirs. I saw an advertisement posted on the wall of a herbal medicine shop in the shopping street, stating that this house was for sale.

Without saying a word, Li Mingyang went to the lobby of the shop and asked the front desk about the price and basic conditions of the house. It turned out that the owner of this shop passed away, leaving only orphans and widowers in his family, so he decided to transfer the shop. The girl at the front desk is the owner's daughter. Li Mingyang pretended to be a herbal medicine merchant and seemed to hesitate over and over again at the girl's offer. Only at the girl's urging did he finally decide to buy it. The whole process went extremely smoothly. Although Li Mingyang thought the price was a little expensive, seeing how quickly he could solve the problem of settling in, the front store and the backyard were also convenient. Furthermore, Li Mingyang felt that he was doing well in the herbal medicine business.

Li Mingyang paid a large amount of leaf currency and settled into the inn with peace of mind. After settling down, Li Mingyang was going to explore the situation in the city to see if there were any clues about the ring.

He walked through the streets and carefully wandered around the city. Most of the pedestrians on the road looked in a hurry. Occasionally, he could see one or two generals wearing armor or robes. Whenever he encountered these generals, Li Mingyang would take a few steps away because He definitely couldn't afford to mess with this kind of person.

Suddenly, Li Mingyang saw a group of sergeants walking towards him. The momentum was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. He felt a chill in his heart and said to himself: "The aura is so strong!"

Li Mingyang suddenly remembered the warning given by the herbal shop girl before leaving: "Bishui City, there are some people you really can't afford to offend, but you don't dare to offend these soldiers. You have to believe in evil, especially when there is chaos everywhere outside recently. We Those who do business have to be more careful." Only then did he realize the girl's expression at that time, the panicked expression when she mentioned the soldier.

What happened to the temple in such a short period of time. When Li Mingyang returned to the backyard of the store, he didn't know that he was nervous. He always felt that there was an aura monitoring the place. He felt that there was some movement in the front store, and he didn't know if it was because he closed the door. It wasn't until Xingqing came back from the investigation that Li Mingyang heard that there was indeed a strong person paying attention to this.

Li Mingyang bravely walked to the front and opened the store door, exposing a crack. He looked around and saw clearly a group of officers and soldiers patrolling the surrounding areas for suspicious people. At this time, Li Mingyang quickly opened the store door, a little worried that opening the door now would arouse the suspicion of the soldiers.

Afterwards, Li Mingyang sat there for a long time. Seeing that the soldiers were no longer paying attention, he ordered Zhan Cao to transform into a seahorse tribe and look after the store while he went back to the backyard to meditate until closing in the evening.

The herb shop was open like this, tepidly. Li Mingyang occasionally bought some herbs he needed. Gradually, he found that everything in the city, except for those terrifying soldiers, was very different from what he thought.

At this time, Li Mingyang was gone, and it had been several hours. After walking around the city for a few days, Li Mingyang saw many aquatic spiritual herbs, some of which he had never seen before. After understanding their functions, he decisively bought them.

There are also many kinds of food in this city, especially a variety of food made from aquatic products. Looking at the many snacks of different flavors sold by a white-haired old man, Li Mingyang unconsciously bought two, which reminded him of the days when he bought snacks at the school gate.

"What do you want to buy, Master?"

The owner of a small shop asked, he is the boss here...

An old woman came over and asked, "What do you want to buy, Master?"

Li Mingyang: "Buy some..."

This was the third time that Li Mingyang passed by their stall in the past few days, but he would change his appearance every time because he was afraid that he would attract the attention of the soldiers by showing off his wealth too much.

At this time, a piece of spiritual grass growing on granite on the counter caught Li Mingyang's attention. The spiritual grass glowed with a faint blue light. Li Mingyang and Xing Qing were overjoyed. This was exactly the medicine missing from Xing Qing's recipe for rebuilding his body.

Xingqing sent a message saying that he must bring this spiritual grass back, no matter the price.

Li Mingyang didn't dare to show a hint of joy, pointed at the spiritual grass and asked the shopkeeper: "What kind of spiritual grass is this?"

The shopkeeper smiled and responded: "Sir, this is the soul-gathering grass. It is said to have a special effect. It can make people's souls strong, their bones regenerate muscles, and they can rebuild their vitality within a year. This is the treasure of our store. , the medicine is thousands of years old.”

After listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Li Mingyang pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "What's the value of this spiritual grass?"

"This soul-gathering grass is definitely worth the money, but I don't dare to ask too high a price. As long as the young master can afford the price, this soul-gathering grass will be yours." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Li Mingyang was secretly happy. Although the price would not be cheap, he must not miss the opportunity in front of him. After all, this is the key drug to reshape the body. He thought about it and finally decided to buy the Soul Gathering Grass, but he did not express himself too much. Excited, he just said lightly: "Okay, I bought it."

The shopkeeper accepted Li Mingyang's money and then handed him the Soul Gathering Grass. After Li Mingyang took it, he smiled slightly and left the small shop with the Soul Gathering Grass.

He knew that in this mysterious city, everything was full of unknowns. And now, what he has to do is to look for all the clues about the ring in this city.

Li Mingyang returned to the herbal shop, worried that he had not found out anything about the ring. If he continued like this, sooner or later he would be forced to leave because he did not want to run the business, but he was really unwilling to do so.

Xingqing looked at Li Mingyang with his head downcast and suggested that he first look for historical information about the city to see if there were any records related to the ring.

Li Mingyang thought this was a good idea, so he started searching for historical materials about the city. He traveled around the corners of the city and wandered into various book shops, which finally led him to learn that an old library on the outskirts of the city might have the information he wanted.

This library was once one of the most famous academic centers in Bishui City, but now it has fallen into disrepair and been abandoned for many years. However, there are still people who have found useful things here. Many vendors in the market have transported their discarded books here to destroy or keep them, so there are very few people coming here now, and it is impossible to enter without the guidance of vendors.

Li Mingyang only learned about this place by chance when he met Sang Wei, because in addition to selling aquatic products, he also ran a bookstore. With Sang Wei's introduction, Li Mingyang successfully entered the library and began searching for information about the ring.

After several days of searching, they finally found a reprinted ancient book. This ancient book is a biography of the city lords of the past. It records some information about the ring. It mentions a theft incident that once occurred in this city. It was so sensational at the time that the contemporary city lord was even killed by the thief. This book records the murder case in detail, and even mentions that in order to resurrect the city lord, the servants of the gods used rings to initiate mysterious rituals. At that time, ancient magic could bring people back to life. These rituals seemed to be related to the rebirth of the city lord. Related to the physical body.

Li Mingyang and Xingqing studied this ancient book in depth, and they discovered some key information about the ring and temple events.

They discover that there is a mysterious organization in the city who believe in an ancient magic and believe that the ring is their key to the gods. They speculated that the skeleton monster might be a member of this organization, or it would not resurrect from the coffin and hunt them down.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would definitely not believe these strange stories, but how could these ancient magicians search for it? They must know the function of this ring.

Li Mingyang walked back to the herbal medicine shop while thinking about how to investigate. At this time, he found a few soldiers patrolling outside the store door. He frowned, temporarily put away his worries, and walked into the store.

The smell of medicine in the store quickly relieved his nervousness, and he began to think about how to find members of this organization. He and Xingqing were discussing what to do next.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he might have missed some important information. Since the ring was in his hand, people from the organization would definitely come to him. He recalled what details he had missed in the temple, and he wanted to peel back the details, find a breakthrough, and restore who in the temple might have problems. Originally, I went to the medicine garden to collect herbs, but when I arrived at the temple, I was suddenly attacked by a staghorn fish monster. At that time, I also got the token of the medicine garden from this fish monster. Is this all a coincidence? After Li Mingyang killed the guard, no one noticed that the guard was killed. He was invisible at the time, and even the Breath Condensation Technique could block the perception of others, and the antler fish monster was the only one who noticed him. As for the token, he was hiding in the corner. The fish monster obviously found him, but he still left in a hurry. Ren Xingqing took the token.

A fear that arose from the bottom of his heart made Li Mingyang feel confused. Although Li Mingyang did go to the medicine garden to pick all the herbs, he was always full of fear of the temple that was like a nightmare intertwined with a sweet dream. Maybe Li Mingyang didn't want to be like a god, but he felt that he had a greater mission, but he was confused all day long, living like a frog in a well. But he was not that brave, not that powerful, and he didn't dare to think about the truth.

But he couldn't help but wonder if the fish monster deliberately sacrificed itself and erased all traces of itself, causing everyone's illusion. Maybe even the skeleton monster can't give the correct answer. Li Mingyang decided to first determine who was a member of this organization and collect as much information as possible. At the same time, he was also preparing that he needed an identity to be able to enter the temple without leaking any flaws and being discovered by the city lord's palace.
