After Ye Anping changed into some decent clothes, he hurried to the physiotherapy hall to give Brother Chen and Sister Liu physiotherapy sessions.
Of course, Sister Liu was a bit hesitant when she heard that he was going to touch her feet, but luckily, Bai Yuexin was also there, watching from the side. And after reluctantly trying, she finally relaxed.
As for Brother Chen, Ye Anping asked him to take off his shirt and pressed a few times on the meridians on his back.
Although he screamed in pain at first, in the end, he felt that his meridians became a lot clearer. Then, he drank tea, chatting with Ye Anping for a while.
Ye Anping promised to give them a small discount for physiotherapy sessions in the future, and they also promised to recommend this center to other disciples in ***Black Star***.
Half an hour later, the two of them and Bai Yuexin were ready to return to the ***Black Star*** Sect. It seemed that there was an early class or something and Bai Yuexin said she would come back later.
After sending the three of them away, Ye Anping reopened the shop.
But after all, 'physiotherapy' was something new to this world.
Although there were many curious people who came in to ask questions throughout the morning, none of them were willing to pay for it, and they all felt that his charges were expensive.
He originally planned to hold a free event on the first day, however, he was the only one in the store and couldn't handle many people coming in at the same time. Therefore, he placed his hopes on Bai Yuexin to bring more disciples in the future.
At this moment, Ye Anping was sitting in the salon, calculating the account, planning the future expenses and the pills his sister would use when suddenly a man in black walked in.
"Welcome." Ye Anping thought that it was probably another person who came to ask what physiotherapy was, and after sighing, he hurried up to greet him, but he didn't expect him to ask, "Do you have a Vermilion Bird for sale here?"
Vermilion Bird---one of the four sacred beasts---was well known to all people in the country. This world also had the same legend. It was said to be an Immortal beast that watched over the four directions of the region, East, South, West, and North.
However, Ye Anping frowned when he heard this sentence and froze in place.
He remembered that this was a code word for the ***Seven Slayers*** Sect in the game.
The ***Seven Slayers*** Sect were mostly powerful rogue cultivators who specialized in collecting bounties to eliminate dangers, be they immortals or devils.
As long as you paid the money, you could post a bounty, and they would take on any dirty job, sometimes even helping the elders of the five major sects with their affairs.
But here's the problem.
There was no ***Seven Slayers*** Sect 'station'* in the ***Black Star*** town market. How did this person find his physiotherapy center?
Ye Anping hesitated to answer the code. After all, if they appeared here, it could only mean they were preparing to take action.
The risk of impersonating their station was not small, and if they found him out, he would be hunted down.
However, he was well aware of the internal situation of the ***Seven Slayers*** Sect, so if he really wanted to pretend, it would not be difficult.
Seeing that Ye Anping just stood there without replying, the man simply turned around and headed out.
"Excuse me."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ye Anping gritted his teeth and then resolutely answered the secret code. "How could there be a Vermilion Bird for sale in this small place? How about you buy a jade sparrow and take it home?"
"..."
Hearing this sentence, the man stopped in his tracks, looked back at Ye Anping, and said, "The jade sparrow's cry is too unpleasant."
"How about the yellow finch? It has a pleasant call and looks exquisite and cute."
"Huh, I thought there was no station in this town square." The man sighed and said with a smile, "Are you the only one here?"
"Yes, there are no other stations around here, and I just opened this one yesterday."
Ye Anping invited the man into the back room and carefully served him a cup of tea.
After an exchange of pleasantries, the man asked directly. "Did you hear that the Grand Master of the ***Magical Poison*** Sect was killed in the neighboring **Wuxi Town**?"
Hearing this, Ye Anping thought that he had made the right choice to answer the coded message. The ***Seven Slayers*** Sect really came here for Wu You's matter.
He hadn't given much thought to the matter since a month and a half ago.
As long as the ***Magical Poison*** Sect had a 'life tablet'*, if Wu You died, the Sect elders would know about it and would definitely send someone to investigate how he died.
If it was found out that he was killed by the young master of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect, then the ***Magical Poison*** Sect would definitely send someone there. After all, Wu You had a fragment of the '*Black Moon Performance*' in his bag.
Ye Anping nodded and said, "Of course I know. I heard that a golden dragon appeared in **Wuxi Town** that day."
"Well, I went to the inns in **Wuxi Town** to inquire about the people who had booked rooms for those days and finally confirmed this list of people."
With that, the man took out a note and handed it to Ye Anping.
Ye Anping took the note and saw there were eight names written on it.
The man continued to ask. "These are the names of the people who checked out and left after the golden dragon appeared. The person who killed the ***Magical Poison*** Sect Grand Master should be among them. Look at the names of these people, do you know any of them?"
Ye Anping looked at the two lines with his and Pei Lianxue's names, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he hastily said, "Ye Anping, as I remember, is the young master of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect. As for this Pei Lianxue who seems to be his younger sister, neither of them has good enough aptitudes, and they are only at the *Qi Refining* stage."
"Well... what about the rest?"
"Chen Shengwu is a *Foundation Building* stage cultivator, but he should already be over four hundred years old, so it's even less likely to be him."
The man was silent for a while, then asked, "Then, are there any cultivators who meet the requirements among these names?"
"Cultivators who meet the requirements?"
"Yeah." The man nodded and said, "The golden dragon that appeared in **Wuxi Town** was inferred to be the Holy Emperor's Dragon Soul. In other words, that should lead to the person who killed the ***Magical Poison*** Sect Grand Master. Since he has the blood of the Holy Emperor, his endowments must not be low. The three you mentioned can be ruled out for the time being. What about the remaining five?"
"..."
Ye Anping looked at the names below silently, and sure enough, Feng Yu Die's name was there.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "This Feng Yu Die seems to be a heavenly spiritual root. She caused a sensation at the entry selection yesterday."
The man nodded as he listened and said, "I see. I'll go and ask around the market later."
"May I ask, what are your sect's internal directives?"
"There was a treasure in the storage bag of the Grand Master of the ***Magical Poison*** Sect, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Anyway, the request is to find his storage bag as soon as possible. This time the reward is 10,000 spirit stones, and many colleagues are investigating this matter."
"So... what are you going to do?"
The man thought for a while and asked, "Can you help me find out the schedule of the ***Black Star*** Sect's selection; you said Feng Yu Die is taking part in it?"
"Yes." Ye Anping frowned slightly. "But are you planning to abduct her during the selection? We're talking about ***Black Star***... not some small sect..."
"You don't have to worry about this. I know the rules and will never involve you, the undercover 'shops' that collect information. All you have to do is help me find out the selection arrangements for the next few days. I'll come for it in the evening."
"Yeah, I got it."
