"Shentu Shun is far, far ahead!"

Everyone in the world wanted to know where Shentu Shun was. This was the answer of the Scarlet Core — the news of the sale of a hundred top grade spirit stones.

Scarlet Core swore upon thunder tribulation that unless it didn't want to die, it would speak the truth.

Was it the Song Family, the Hollow Jade Sect, the Song City, or the Crimson Core that was so close to him?

If they were in the City of Song and the Hollow Jade Temple, who would be Shentu Shun?

If he was in the city, where would Shentu Shun be?

Shentu Shun's biggest characteristic was that he was a mortal without spiritual roots. He was not even 20 years old, or to be more accurate, he was only 13 years old.

Little Dan had never been at a disadvantage and dared to swear on thunder tribulation. Could Shentu Shun really be in the city?

Little Dan was not a Demon King, but he had sworn in the name of the Demon King. Not only that, he couldn't even tell where Shentu Shun was. Just from these two points, Heaven gave him reason to believe that he didn't know where Shentu Shun was.

However, he was a bit curious, curious as to whether or not they could really find Shentu Shun.

Scarlet Core was calm and composed. It didn't seem fake, but rather, it was releasing a divine intent without any happiness. It scanned the entire city, and other than a barrier that was set up during the heavenly tribulation, the divine intent was not able to enter.

Thousands of years ago, when Shentu Jun gained his dao as a mortal, cultivators no longer looked down on mortals.

However, the prejudice of mortals not being able to cultivate had always existed. All sorts of sects still recruited children with spiritual roots. Children without spiritual roots could also enter a sect to cultivate, but they couldn't enter the sect's core.

Scanning the streets and alleys, all of the disciples of the Hollow Jade Temple had spiritual roots of cultivation. Not only that, almost all of the disciples were over twenty years old.

Excluding the disciples of the Hollow Jade Sect, they were not happy to set their sights on the shops and the people in the inn. The shops and the inn were almost all residents of the city.

Excluding those who had cultivation spiritual roots and were over twenty years old, only a few children were left. After checking their bones with divine sense, children around the age of thirteen became even fewer.

Thirteen years ago, Shentu Shun disappeared from Su Liang's hands. It was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't be diligent in his cultivation, secretly searching for his target. However, if he wasn't happy, he would suddenly disappear and reappear with three shivering children by his side.

"Fellow cultivator, do you know who Shentu Shun is?"

There were only three children in the city who were unlucky enough to be captured. If Chi Dan hadn't lied, then maybe one of them would be Shentu Shun. As for who Shentu Shun was, he wasn't sure.

"I don't know!"

Chi Dan was speechless as he looked at the three pitiful children who were captured. He only said that they were far in front of him, but he didn't mention that they were these three children.

Besides, it was only five years old and not as old as Shentu Shun. How would it know what Shentu Shun looked like?

"Then how did you find out about Shentu Shun's whereabouts?"

There were many ways to obtain the whereabouts of a person, and they didn't have to see it. No matter what, he was still a tribulation cultivator and didn't understand such a simple logic. Finally, it was Chi Dan's turn to despise others.

"Fellow cultivator, you have to understand that just because I know where Shentu Shun is, it does not mean that I know who Shentu Shun is."

It wasn't that there was no happiness and didn't understand this principle, but he had never seen Shentu Shun before. Since Chi Dan knew where Shentu Shun was, he subconsciously thought he had seen Shentu Shun before.

Chi Dan was right. It was not necessary to meet anyone who knew where they were. He knew where Shentu Shun was, but he had never seen him either. Someone must have told him where Shentu Shun was.

"Who told you that?"

No happiness could guess that someone had told him that Chi Dan was not surprised at all, but it was impossible for him to tell him who told him the whereabouts of Shentu Shun.

"Sorry, no comment!"

Out of the three children, which one was Shentu Shun, he could not count on Chi Dan to recognize him, so he had to force the three children.

"Of the three of you, who is Shentu Shun?"

In the world, it was rumored that Shentu Shenjun was an immortal medicine. The three children had all heard their parents talk about it, so admitting that they were Shentu Shun was equivalent to admitting that they were immortal medicine.

Although the three children were only mortals, they weren't stupid and wouldn't take their lives as a joke.

"Immortals … Immortals …" Me, us, no, not Shen, Shentu Shun... "Really..."

From another point of view, even if they were not happy, they would not admit that they were Shentu Shun. He used his Spiritual Sense to check the bodies of the three children without missing a single detail.

There was nothing special about the three children. They were completely unrelated to the immortal medicines. How could such a person be Shentu Shun?

Moreover, Shentu Shenjun was an immortal medicine and the Hollow Jade Sect would not let him off.

This was exactly the same as Shentu Shun's three children who had been living in the city safe and sound. They must have been residents of the city, otherwise, the Hollow Jade Sect would have taken action long ago.

He understood all of this, but was unable to find Shentu Shun's whereabouts. There was no happiness, only disappointment.

"Fellow Daoist Chi Dan, are you sure Shentu Shun is in the city?"

The city was very big, and he had only found three children who fit Shentu Shun perfectly. However, these three children were nothing special, so he had no choice but to question Chi Dan.

"This King has already sworn that there won't be a fake?"

He was right in front of him. Even though he didn't say who Shentu Shun was, he had already informed Shentu Shentu Shun of his whereabouts. How could Chi Dan not be angry when he questioned himself when he couldn't find the source of his happiness?

Chi Dan's reply confirmed that Shentu Shun was not in the city. The three children in front of him were not Shentu Shun, so he was worried about where Shentu Shun was.

"These three children can't be Shentu Shun!"

"I didn't say they were Shentu Shun. Besides, the city is so big, are you sure you've finished searching every corner of the city?"

Song Yu city was not big, but it was not small either. It was not easy to find three children who matched Shentu Shun's group.

Of course, just as Chi Dan had said, the city was very big. Some places had barriers that even tribulation cultivators could not open, so perhaps Shentu Shun was truly hiding in the Hollow Jade Sect.

"Little friend, has your sect accepted any special outer sect disciples within thirteen years?"

Shentu Shun was not sure whether or not he had been hidden by the Hollow Jade Sect inside the barrier. Lu Ding was a disciple of the Hollow Jade Sect and an elder of the city. If he wasn't happy, he would have to inquire about the sect's acceptance in the last ten years.

The outer sect disciples, those who didn't have spiritual roots for cultivation and were accepted by the sect as an exception, were mainly responsible for the sect's daily needs. If Shentu Shun was really brought back to the Hollow Jade Sect, then he was most likely to hide in the outer sect.

"Senior, the sect accepts disciples once every five years, and so is the outer sect disciples. Within thirteen years, the sect has disciples who are recruited by the outer sect."

"However, in the last 10 years, I haven't received any outer court disciples."

Unhappiness's question was rather polite, but his actions were not polite at all. Under the pressure he released, Lu Ding did not dare to lie. He explained everything in detail.

Through careful observation, no happiness could determine that Lu Ding was not lying. However, there was one thing he could not understand.

Shentu Shenjun was an immortal medicine that anyone who obtained it would immediately refine. If the Hollow Jade Sect had obtained it, they would also have immediately refined it, so why would they hide it?

If he wasn't hidden and the three children weren't Shentu Shun, then where was Shentu Shun?

There was no sign of Shentu Shun within the city, and he was just a hair's breadth away from the city. Could it be that he was bestowed by the heavens?

No Happiness had already realized that he had looked in the wrong direction. Chi Dan's meaning was that Shentu Shun should be by everyone's side.

Hundreds of high-level cultivators, Lu Ding, and himself could all be excluded. After all, they were all over twenty years old and the Scarlet Core was a demonic beast. Of course, they had to be excluded.

At that moment, only two people were worthy of suspicion. One was the Heaven's Gift who had no cultivation, and the other was the brother Huo Luan who was mentioned by the Heaven's Gift.

After a cultivator reaches the Immortal Realm, they can live their youth forever. Other than that, no one would believe that Huo Luan was an immortal and guessed that he had either acquired the Face Preserving Immortal Grass or knew how to use the Face Preserving Pill.

As for his cultivation, out of everyone present, probably only the happiest person would be able to see it.

A twenty year old who was only one step away from the tribulation stage, how rare was he? The moment he saw Huo Luan, he was shocked and had eliminated Huo Luan.

Nearly all of the people present were excluded, leaving only one person, Tian Ci.

"Little friend, how old are you?"

It was related to how long he could live, and he couldn't miss any opportunity without happiness. It wasn't that he didn't check up on the gift, but that he had already investigated it earlier.

According to his Spiritual Sense, Tian Ci should be fifteen years old, and her age didn't match up to his. Other than her age, her other condition was the same as Shentu Shun.

As the Heaven was right in front of his eyes, it was definitely not referring to the White Jade City. The Scarlet Core must be referring to the people around him, and the only thing worth suspecting was the Heaven's Gift.

Legend has it that Shentu Shenjun was born an immortal. His bones were full of surprises and so he definitely could not be treated with common sense. He would not give up even if he was not happy.

"Huh?"

He was looking at his three peers with pity in his eyes, and did not expect that unhappiness would suddenly ask him about his age. He was slightly stunned, if not for his senior brother's parting instructions, he would definitely have told unhappiness, he was only thirteen years old.

"I'll be sixteen next spring."

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

With an innocent face, Tian Ci seriously stated her age.

The age of the bones given by Heaven's Detection was exactly the same as what he said. Shentu Shun was obviously not him.

This place was the base of the Hollow Jade Sect. If Shentu Shunzhen was in the city, he would have been taken away long ago. However, searching the entire city now was useless.

Unable to find Shentu Shun, this was a scam. Unhappiness suddenly turned into depression as he furiously stared at Chi Dan.

A hundred top grade spirit stones, a hundred thousand of them were cicadas, hundreds of them were mantises, they had once landed in his hands, he did not think of himself as a oriole, he did not expect that the real oriole would be a red core.

"Fellow Daoist Chi Dan, this old Taoist has always thought of himself as a yellow bird. I never thought that you would be the real yellow bird!"
