Zhou An said that he could find the ghost-faced fox. He hadn't asked before whether the ghost-faced fox was caught, so there was no need to ask at all, it was impossible to catch it.

The reason why the ghost-faced fox is called the ghost-faced fox is that no one knows his true face. He often disguises himself as the person around the assassinated, so he is called the ghost-faced. The fox... refers to his cunning. He is as cunning as a fox. He can escape smoothly after every assassination. No matter how big the person he assassinated is, it is the case.

If the court really caught the ghost-faced fox last night, then he would not have been the number one assassin in the world!

"How to find it?" Kanglongi asked Zhou An.

"Track him with blood!" Zhou An glanced at the blood on the sword, then looked at Kang Longji and said, "Grandpa, the young man had created a kind of tracking technique a few months ago. The sword contained the blood of the ghost-faced fox, so the young man had the chance to judge his position..."

"Well..." Kanglongi responded to a nasal voice, but did not ask much.

At this time, Zhou An had already passed the stage of being questioned when something was slightly abnormal.

For example, Kang Longji thought that Zhou An used a taboo method last night and forced the flying sword technique. Zhou An's injury was indeed a feature of a taboo method, but Kang Longji would not ask Zhou An more about this.

Even Zhou An showed strength far beyond the ordinary Earth Evil Realm last night, and Kang Longji didn't ask.

It makes no sense to ask. No matter what answer Zhou An gives him, he will never doubt Zhou An anymore.

"You are weak now, so you should take a good rest first. When you are almost done, then start chasing the ghost-faced fox..." Kang Longji put his thin hand on Zhou An's hand and patted it gently, then looked at the empress.

"Xiao Anzi, if you have any needs, just tell me that I will not be stingy with you." The empress spoke.

"Sage..." Zhou An was about to get up on the bed, as if he wanted to speak to the empress.

The empress waved her hand immediately and said, "No need to be polite, just talk."

"Master, the slave really has something to ask for, please allow it."

"Speak straight!"

"Slaves need medicinal materials."

"Medicinal materials?" The empress frowned. It was not because Zhou An's request was too big, but because he was too small. Is there any need to say?

"If you have any useful medicinal materials in the inner palace, you can use them as much as possible, and you don't have to ask me for instructions." The empress said.

"That's it... Master, the medicinal materials needed by the slave may not be enough in the inner palace. I want to use medicinal materials to refine some elixirs. This is not only for the slave himself, but also some elixirs that save lives and elixirs that help others break through. I want to study one or two..."

Zhou An was desperate to help the empress and climb up desperately. Why?

In fact, there are many reasons. Making achievements is one aspect, and relying on a big tree to enjoy the shade is also one aspect, and having no way out because of being hostile to Wu Xukuan... But in the end, Zhou An is for himself!

And now, he has been working hard to this day and finally has the opportunity to ask the Empress for something.

He wants to refine alchemy!

But the cost of alchemy is huge. If Zhou An was not the Empress, and had not climbed up so hard in the court, but had entered the world, he would never have had such a huge resource as today as he is.

Although Zhou An is awake now and has no injuries on his body, his body is actually very weak and his qi and blood are too deficient. He needs to use elixirs to restore his body as soon as possible. In addition, he needs to refine some elixirs with magical effects to heal injuries and treat diseases, and assist in cultivation and breakthroughs. Of course, the most important thing is the elixirs that can make him grow.

Zhou An didn't know which one of the elixir recipes he had mastered could make him grow, but he could give it a try.

Zhou An had already set two goals, one was to grow up, and the other was to be powerful.

In fact, the goal of power is to serve the growth. He must have power to have enough resources, grow faster, have a higher level, and try to refine alchemy again and again.

"Well..." After hearing Zhou An's request, the empress pondered for a moment. She didn't care about the medicinal materials in the inner palace. After all, some medicinal materials are worth a thousand gold, but they are also placed. If Zhou An wants them, she will give them.

But Zhou An said that there were not enough people in the inner palace...that means that you have to go and purchase again, which involves the issue of spending money.

However, the empress only hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm sure. If you have any requirements for medicinal materials, you will directly send people to private procurement. The money required will be paid from the inner government."

The Empress is also willing to give up!

This is also related to the fact that the inner government is particularly rich now. The Jinyiwei checked corrupt officials and searched millions of taels, but none of them were charged into the treasury, because the treasury was controlled by the Ministry of Revenue. Although the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to move the treasury money at will, it would be difficult for the empress to use it and would have to argue again.

So the money was lost to the national treasury, but into the inner palace, which was the empress's own small treasury.

If you have money, Zhou An wants to spend money, so let him spend it. Moreover, the empress believes that Zhou An is not the kind of person who is ignorant of importance and will not spend money without any scruples.

"I thank you, Master!" Zhou Andao, the big stone in his heart was also lost.

Actually, he really wants to sing a song now: I have been waiting for a long time and finally waited until today.

...

Seeing that Zhou An had woken up and was in good condition, the empress said a few more words to Zhou An and then took off and returned to Qianwu Palace. Kang Longji also followed the empress away.

Princess Yunjing didn't leave and asked someone to bring breakfast. She ran over without even having breakfast and has been with her until now.

The two had breakfast together, and they were naturally laughing and playing. Princess Yunjing still looked like she was bullying Zhou An. She pulled her ears and pinched her face at Zhou An, which seemed extremely close.

After dinner, Princess Yunjing also left.

Zhou An couldn't help but think, so he immediately called Xiaotingzi and wrote him a list for him to do... After Xiaotingzi left, Zhou An was the only one left in the Ning'an Palace hall.

Zhou An was wearing a plain nightgown, sat cross-legged on the couch, and took out the bloodless sword.

He found a thin white cloth and wiped the bloodless sword clean.

There was a red color on the white cloth.

This is the blood of the ghost-faced fox.

Zhou An cut off a small piece of the bloody white cloth, put it in his palm, then closed his eyes, spread his arms and slowly closed it. A breeze rolled up around him, and his breath began to rise.

After a long time, he was still exercising his skills.

He is going to track down the ghost-faced fox! This is his first attempt.

And the ability he used at this moment was one of the thirty-six small spells recorded in the "Modern Revision of Small Spells", called Wanli Tracing!

"The world is endless, tracking thousands of miles!"

Zhou An suddenly whispered, and his hands changed. He hooked his fingers in his palms and clamped out the cloth with the blood of the ghost-faced fox. His fingers pointed the sword at the sky. The fire suddenly appeared, and the white cloth was burned quickly.

Zhou An opened his eyes and glared at this moment!

The smoke generated by the incineration of cloth drifted away in front of Zhou An's eyes.

He saw illusory scenes, the noisy streets, hawking vendors, and pedestrians... After a breath, the vision disappeared in his eyes, and he did not accurately track down the ghost-faced fox.

This small spell is difficult on the one hand, and on the other hand, dry blood alone cannot exert the full effect of the Wanli Tracking Technique. If you can get the nails, hair, blood, or a finger or piece of flesh of the tracked person, the effect will be much better than if you only rely on blood tracking now.

What Zhou An uses now is not even blood, it is not new at all, and the blood has dried up.

Therefore, Zhou An could not track it accurately.

However, Zhou An had already determined the approximate location of the ghost-faced fox, with an error of no more than a hundred feet.

The ghost-faced fox is now on the streets of the east city of the capital.

It's okay, just be able to judge the approximate location. Although this is not very helpful for capturing the ghost-faced fox for the time being, even if Zhou An lets him go there now, because the ghost-faced fox can disguise and move, he will not be able to find it when he arrives.

But, at least this will allow Zhou An to guard against the ghost-faced fox.

In addition, Zhou An's mastery of Wanli Tracking Technique is still a bit poor, and his body is weak now... After that, he will be well maintained and improve the Wanli Tracking Technique a little bit, so he should be able to accurately locate the ghost-faced fox.

"Be careful, be careful, go here... Be careful for our family..." The sound of a small pavilion suddenly sounded outside the door.

Zhou An got up and got out of the bed and walked towards the door.

Under the command of the small pavilion, a group of eunuchs walked into the hall with a half-person-high and extremely heavy elixir furnace. A group of eunuchs were following behind, all holding wooden boxes, which should be the medicinal materials that Zhou An needed.

Zhou An had given the order to the small pavilion before, which was to ask the small pavilion to pick up the alchemy furnace, medicinal materials and other items as written on the list.

Zhou An is about to start practicing alchemy.

The first pill he wanted to refine was the last pill he had refined in his previous life. It was the pill that killed him and made him travel through this world.
