Asking for information is usually done by other fellow apprentices, but this time it's different because Li Huowang's direction is towards the Supervisory Bureau.

It's too risky for other fellow apprentices to inquire about these mysterious and unfathomable existences.

As for Li Huowang himself, he doesn't have to worry about these things. His newly acquired ability gives him a unique advantage in gathering information.

As long as he places his colored phantom body underground, his physical body outside can be completely invisible.

Even if someone tries to spy on him, his increasingly sensitive perception can detect it in advance.

People who should have gathered together were scattered throughout the county like sesame seeds on a pancake.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs until nightfall when they regrouped at the inn.

"Senior Brother Li, the sheep are sold out. When they heard that the sheep were transported from Qingqiu, they went crazy trying to buy them! I also bought some refined grains. We've been eating coarse grains every day and can't even pass our stools properly." The little dog who was hanging out with Zhao Wu handed over the heavy silver to Li Huowang with a smile.

"Give it to Zhao Wu to keep. He usually takes care of the accounts."

Li Huowang, who was feeling a bit low, turned and walked into his room. He lay down on the bed and felt the stabbing pain in his feet that had been walking all day.

If there was anything worse than being monitored by the Supervisory Bureau, it was not being able to find any information about the Supervisory Bureau at all.

He knew that it was impossible to find the Supervisory Bureau in just one day, but he couldn't help feeling discouraged.

"This won't work. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. I must find a different way to connect with the Supervisory Bureau as soon as possible."

Li Huowang rubbed his forehead and pondered the next step in the dark room.

A pair of white hands with long, sharp black nails stretched out from under the bed, took off Li Huowang's shoes and socks, and soaked his tired feet in warm water.

For half an hour, the dark room was quiet with no sound.

Li Huowang suddenly sat up, excitedly saying to the monk in front of him, "Wait, think about the opportunity when that old lama appeared before! Yes, that's it!"

"Since the Supervisory Bureau deals with things that the government can't handle, all I have to do is to get as close as possible to those troublesome things, and I'll be able to connect with the Supervisory Bureau faster!"

"You're right!" The monk standing next to Peng Longteng nodded in agreement.Li Huowang realized that he had been looking in the wrong direction. He shouldn't have been investigating the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision itself, but rather the horrifying and supernatural events that had occurred. As long as there were such events, the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision would surely appear again.

With this in mind, Li Huowang could no longer contain his excitement. He lifted his feet out of the basin and, without bothering to dry them, put on his shoes and socks again and rushed out.

But as soon as he pushed open the door, he collided with Lv Zhuangyuan, who had a smile on his face.

"Hey, Daoist, have you eaten?" Lv Zhuangyuan asked with a grin.

"What's up?" Li Huowang asked, his expression turning cold as he leaned against the door frame.

"Well, how's the scholar doing? If he doesn't listen to you, just give him a good beating! I know that's how they learn their craft. Don't be polite with me."

"He's very diligent, but he's learning slowly because he doesn't know how to read," Li Huowang told the truth.

"Ah, Daoist, why is my life so hard? I finally got a grandson, but then this happened."

"What's the matter? I have urgent matters to attend to," Li Huowang could tell that Lv Zhuangyuan had something to say.

This old man wouldn't come to him to complain for no reason. He wasn't that kind of person.

"I do! Daoist, don't you remember? It's about borrowing money to reopen the troupe. I've been looking for it all day today. There are a lot of things here, costumes, bronze mirrors, musical instruments... so..."

"You haven't given up yet?" To be honest, Li Huowang felt that the Lv family troupe, which only knew how to babble, had no core competitiveness when faced with the Da Liang troupe.

"Well... I want to try, I have an idea, maybe I can make a living by picking up some leftovers from these troupes," Lv Zhuangyuan continued to smile.

"Okay, go get the money from Zhao Wu. He has enough cash on hand now." Li Huowang finished speaking and pushed him aside, hurrying towards the stairs of the inn.

Compared to the matter of the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision, Li Huowang had completely forgotten about Lv Zhuangyuan's revival project.

For the next period of time, Li Huowang tried his best to find the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision in Da Liang. He went out early and returned late every day, asking the locals for information.

He ignored those who had died or been cursed, because he knew that such small matters would only attract fortune tellers or midwives, not the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision.

Having been here for a while, Li Huowang also knew what kind of existence the Bureau of Heavenly Supervision was and what they cared about.The Heavenly Supervisory Bureau has always only focused on major events, disasters that could easily kill tens of thousands of people, such as the ghost town that was slaughtered by the Taoist sects, or those that would subvert the imperial rules.

However, although such things can attract the attention of the Heavenly Supervisory Bureau, they are not so common. After searching around, they did not find any strange or unusual incidents, but they heard a lot of rumors and gossip.

Of course, if Li Huowang took off his copper coin mask and revealed that he was a Xinsu, it would definitely attract the attention of the Heavenly Supervisory Bureau, but that was not what he wanted.

Bai Lingmiao, lying in bed, opened her eyes and looked at Li Huowang, who was sleeping soundly beside her, with a hint of worry in her heart.

"Senior Brother Li, for the past few days, he wakes up before dawn every day and comes back after I fall asleep. I don't know what he's looking for."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, the door was knocked so hard that it shook, and an excited voice came from outside. "Master! I made it! I have supernatural powers!"

The moment this voice sounded, Li Huowang abruptly opened his eyes and stared at the door with his bloodshot eyes. It was Lv Xiucai's voice.

He sat up directly and was about to walk towards the door.

Just as Li Huowang was putting on his shoes, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Bai Lingmiao on the bed. "How is it? Did your family find it?"

Upon hearing this question, Bai Lingmiao nodded with a hint of a smile in her eyes. She reached under the pillow and took out a map, handing it over.

"Senior Brother Li, I found it. But you've been going out a lot lately, and I haven't had a chance to tell you."

Li Huowang quickly unfolded the map and saw a particularly eye-catching red line among the various winding routes. The end of the red line was Niu Xin Mountain.

"The merchant who sold us the map said that if we take a cart, it will take about a month to get there. If we ride horses, it will be much faster, but unfortunately, we don't know how to ride horses."
