86: Reverse Fate Divine Technique

"Qiyang City..."

After Chu Yuan finished reviewing the information and videos sent by Ma Hui, he had a general grasp of the situation.

Jiang Fei's hometown was in Qiyang City, but since his parents were long gone, he didn't return often.

This time, while on a mission, he stopped in Qiyang City... because of a woman: Liu Yan.

Jiang Fei and Liu Yan could be considered childhood sweethearts; his father and Liu Yan's father were comrades-in-arms, and the two families were very close.

After Jiang Fei's father sacrificed himself, Jiang Fei was cared for by Liu Yan's father for a long time, until he entered Shendu Martial Academy...

The two did not end up together, and as for the reason... the file did not mention it.

The Zhenwu Bureau wasn't so idle that it needed to worry about other people's relationships.

Liu Yan was just an ordinary person who hadn't even passed the entrance exam for the Martial Academy, so the Zhenwu Bureau had conducted a simple investigation and ruled her out as a suspect...

Yet, Chu Yuan always felt that this matter had something to do with Liu Yan, even though he had absolutely no evidence.

Because she seemed to be the only variable in Jiang Fei's 'defection' incident...

...

One cannot guess blindly here; one must go and see for oneself.

However, before going to Qiyang City, there was one preparatory task.

He needed a Martial Skill specifically for searching.

Although his Divine Sense had fully recovered, it could only cover a radius of a dozen kilometers or so. It would be fine if Jiang Fei was still in Qiyang City... but if he was no longer in Qiyang City, his Divine Sense would be useless.

"I need a detection and searching type Martial Skill," Chu Yuan said to Ma Hui.

He habitually thought of the principal at first, but then he realized that the Zhenwu Bureau should have more Cultivation Techniques than the principal possessed...

"Okay."

"What do I need to pay?"

"No need, I'll pay for it... you don't need to pay anything, you have plenty of merit points!" In the terminal, Ma Hui's tone became astonished.

"Merit points?"

"The source is... the Legacy of an alien race?" Ma Hui was puzzled; at his level, he wasn't privy to everything that had happened in Secret Realm No. 7.

But Chu Yuan understood instantly: was it the Legacy of the Blood Beast Clan?

That powerful individual surnamed Han had not only kept his word but, on the contrary, had acted quite quickly... but why hadn't anyone notified him?

"Then help me exchange for one that is the fastest to learn."

"...Okay." Ma Hui didn't quite understand Chu Yuan's actions. Did he really think that just by relying on a newly learned Martial Skill, he could compare to the professional tracking experts within the Zhenwu Bureau?

It was just youthful spirit, wanting to do something for his friend... it wasn't a bad thing.

If he had the time, Chu Yuan would certainly want to Cultivate the best one.

But what he lacked right now was precisely time.

Even with the improvement in Comprehension Ability brought by cultivation, Chu Yuan couldn't guarantee he could master a high-level Martial Skill in a very short time.

And if he couldn't master it, the System couldn't convert it...

...

"《Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique》?" Chu Yuan's expression was strange.

"What, do you feel the name is too low-end?"

"It's a bit Jianghu..."

Ma Hui smiled: "You wanted the fastest one to learn, and this is the fastest one."

"Fine then..." Chu Yuan flipped through it, his face looking even more repulsed.

The principle of this Martial Skill was to use internal Qi to strengthen the five senses in order to find clues that ordinary people wouldn't notice.

Among them, if one wanted to find a person, the most common method was... sniffing?

"Why does it feel like being a dog..."

"I heard that during the creation of this Martial Skill, there was a little bit of inspiration taken from canine exotic beasts."

"Fine..." Chu Yuan accepted it.

There were no other better choices now...

Ma Hui indeed hadn't lied to him; the 《Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique》 was extremely fast to learn!

Chu Yuan successfully learned it within the few hours on his way to Qiyang City.

Spiritual power gathered in his nasal cavity, and the many smells inside the car rushed in all at once, clearly distinguishable!

Chu Yuan sniffed, and didn't feel anything uncomfortable...

At the same time, the System's voice rang in his mind:

[Detected that the host has learned the Martial Skill 《Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique》;

System converting...

Converted to Niyuan Qianshen Technique!

Daily conversion count: 0!]

Information was infused, but compared to the time with the Geng Metal Primal Dao Art, the amount of information this time was much less.

Chu Yuan didn't spend much time digesting it!

The Niyuan Qianshen Technique no longer required sniffing around; its effects were powerful!

Of course, there were no Cultivation Techniques or Spells converted by the System into their immortal cultivation versions that weren't powerful...

This technique used spiritual power as a marker, and after activation, one could perceive the general direction and distance of the person being tracked!

Chu Yuan secretly formed hand seals, and a trace of spiritual inspiration appeared in his palm, extremely agile.

The direction it pointed to... was surprisingly the same as the direction Chu Yuan was heading?

Chu Yuan was stunned. According to the feedback from the Niyuan Qianshen Technique, Jiang Fei was currently... still in Qiyang City!?

...

"Yanyan, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again!"

"So happy..."

Outside the office building, several women in professional attire were chattering and discussing.

A woman with exquisite features and heavy makeup walked quickly a few steps, took the bouquet from the man's hand, and while seemingly complaining, she was actually showing off: "Why are you here again? You have so much to do at the company; didn't I say not to come?"

The man grinned, revealing a few white teeth, and pulled the woman into his arms: "I missed you."

"Wow~"

"Yanyan, when will we be able to drink to your wedding?"

Liu Yan broke free from his embrace and laughingly scolded: "So cheesy, so many people are watching!"

"So what if they are watching? You are my girlfriend!"

The man said matter-of-factly, then looked at Liu Yan's colleagues: "We are getting married soon. You are all Yanyan's good friends, so you must come when the time comes!"

"Okay, okay!"

"See you tomorrow, Yanyan."

"Let's go, let's go, my taxi is here."

"Sigh, when will I have a handsome and rich man come to pick me up from work..."

The group dispersed, and Liu Yan got into the luxury car and fastened her seatbelt.

"How is he?"

"He's not dead, he's frozen in the freezer." The man's previous gentleness and refinement completely disappeared, and he said somewhat impatiently: "What, do you feel sorry for him?"

"What are you saying!" Liu Yan subconsciously retorted: "I'm just afraid of bringing us trouble..."

"Heh~"

"Has the item been sold yet?" Liu Yan asked impatiently again.

The man shook his head: "It's not that fast... and the wind is still relatively tight right now, let's wait a few more days."

Liu Yan was a bit disappointed, but didn't say anything more.

She didn't understand things regarding martial arts, but since Pan Ce said that book was very valuable... it must be very valuable!

"Exactly how much can it sell for?"

A trace of coldness and mockery flashed in the man's eyes, and he said meaningfully: "Anyway, it'll be enough for you to spend for the rest of your life…"
