Chapter 402: Imperial Envoy from the Supreme Sect, Puzzle of Truth

There is another traitor in that new post.

The Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan rarely participated in such major events and was extremely excited:

"I've heard of Qingling Pills!" he replied, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask around."

“…Wait for me!”

When Zheng Fa looked at what the Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan said, it seemed as if he could see this guy rushing out the door in a hurry, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He didn't give Zhao Jingfan much instructions.

He was out of reach of Xie Qingxue and Yan Wushuang from the Tianhe Sect, so he could only hope that they would be careful.

But Zhao Jingfan in Qingmu Sect is different - now the leader of Baixian League is Zheng Fa!

It’s just that he doesn’t have time to take care of these sects for the time being.

Zhao Jingfan went to investigate the Qingling Pill. It is not known whether he would gain anything from it, but it would generally not be dangerous.

There's nothing to worry about.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Jingfan sent back a message:

"I went to the Sutra Building to look for it, and even asked my fellow disciples there to help me look it up. There are quite a lot of records about the Qingling Pill."

After that, Zhao Jingfan posted all the recipes, travel notes and alchemy tips one by one on the forum.

He is much braver than Yan Wushuang and the other two.

Yan Wushuang and Xie Qingxue were very selective when they sent out information about the Tianhe Sect - after all, they were members of the Tianhe Sect and they still had some protective feelings towards the sect, so they were not willing to show Zheng Fa everything.

Simply put, these two spies still have some sense of confidentiality.

For example, things like elixir recipes, elixir formulas, and elixir refining techniques are rarely posted in forums.

Zheng Fa also understood this feeling, and even deliberately only said that he was reading travel notes.

But Zhao Jingfan is different...

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a sect or not, it’s Danish or Bhutanese.

We are all from the Hundred Immortals Alliance, so what's the difference between you and me? Send! Brush, brush, brush, brush, the post is full of information about the Qingling Pill.

Zhao Jingfan was not a student of alchemy, so naturally he didn't know what information was valuable and what was worthless, so he just posted it all at once.

Zheng Fa also knew that he had tried his best, so he and Xiao Yuying and others started to sort these things out separately.

Let’s put the elixir recipe and alchemy techniques aside.

The two of them still focused on some unofficial history and travel notes.

After most of the day, Zhao Jingfan had already stopped transmitting the data. After all, Qingling Pill was just a kind of medicine, and there was only so much information about it in Qingmu Sect.

I have searched every nook and cranny.

Zheng Fa read these posts carefully, raised his head, glanced at Xiao Yuying, and saw Xiao Yuying shaking her head at him, whispering: "The Qingmu Sect probably doesn't have that long of a history. Judging from the words used, these things are at most 30,000 years old..."

Zheng Fa remained silent upon hearing this.

This is the problem - they are not looking for the Qingling Pill, but want to find more clues about the Five Elements Orchid from the Qingling Pill.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, the Qingling Pill is most likely useless against the "Nine Mountains Golden Pill Method" - after all, even the Five Elements Orchid has disappeared in history, and it is difficult to miss the supporting pill for Venerable Tianhe's "Nine Turns Golden Pill Method".

The Qingling Pill has some reputation in the Xuanwei world.

"How is it?" Seeing that they didn't respond, Zhao Jingfan asked in the post, "Did you find anything?"

Zheng Fa posted his and Xiao Yuying's opinions in the post.

Zhao Jingfan's reply was full of disappointment: "So... But I have searched through all the classics in the sect, and even asked many brothers and sisters. The records about Qingling Pill in the sect are all here."

Yan Wushuang couldn't help himself at this point, and asked, "This... Brother Zhao? You seem to have a very important position in the sect? You have a very high status?"

"I still have some popularity..."

"Your father... is he also the head of the sect?"

"No."

"May I ask, Your Excellency, how is your spiritual root?"

"Spiritual roots? Same as Zheng Fa, dual spiritual roots."

Yan Wushuang seemed to have ignored the same five words as Zheng Fa, and directly grasped the key point:

"Dual spiritual roots? Then you...are so bold?"

Zheng Fa understood Yan Wushuang's doubts.

In this world, there is a difference between a person with double spiritual roots and a person with double spiritual roots! Zheng Fa cannot be called a person with double spiritual roots!

You are all traitors. You have no background and no qualifications...

Why are you so bold? "How dare you? I work for the leader of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, I'm upright!"

“…”

The reply from the Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan silenced Yan Wushuang.

Zheng Fa could also understand: Yan Wushuang and Xie Qingxue, in terms of identity, status and qualifications, were much better than the seventh young master Zhao Jingfan.

In fact, Yan Wushuang should have seen Zhao Jingfan before, but he didn't seem to have any impression of him. This shows how big the gap between them was, and he probably didn't take Zhao Jingfan seriously.

but……

Yan Wushuang and the other person were almost playing the Bourne Identity in the Tianhe Sect. They were so terrified that they even couldn't sleep or eat.

But Zhao Jingfan...

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask the Sect Leader!"

He seemed unwilling to give in, and slipped away after saying a few words.

He left, but Yan Wushuang, who saw this sentence, did not respond for a long time, as if he was doubting his life as a spy.

Even Xie Qingxue couldn't help but say:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao...you are truly the envy of others."

From the fact that Zhao Jingfan went to the sect leader as soon as they had a disagreement, everyone could see that his life in Qingmu Sect was really comfortable.

Even though Yan Wushuang was a little irritated, he was actually fine. He was just a little frustrated recently. But Xie Qingxue was even more miserable - a chatterbox who was turned into a flower on the mountain top.

Zheng Fa felt that when Xie Qingxue looked at Zhao Jingfan now, it was like a forty-year-old middle-aged man who had been beaten down by life seeing a twenty-year-old young man full of youth.

Even though the other person has no money and no career, when you look at him, you feel inexplicably envious.

The valuable thing about young people's spirit is that when you look at this person, you will understand that he has never been beaten by this world.

Zhao Jingfan didn't know that he was deeply envied by the eldest senior sister of Tianhe Sect.

In fact, he had also suffered a lot, and even earlier, he had made up his mind to manage the Zhao family well and assume the responsibility of being the head of the family.

But things are unpredictable...

The surname of the Hundred Immortals Alliance is Zheng! Not only the surname of the Hundred Immortals Alliance is Zheng, but Zheng Fa is now on par with the Five Sects of Xuanwei!

Everyone knows that Zhao Jingfan and Zheng Fa have a good relationship.

Now his status in the sect has improved visibly.

He didn't quite understand it, as he had clearly decided to rely on himself to fight.

As a result, the speed of my struggle is far behind the speed of my thigh's ascension...

Zhao Jingfan hurriedly found the leader of Qingmu Sect, Song.

Sect Master Song was originally handling official business, and the Qingmu Sect was really in a bad situation. How should I put it? Thanks to the blessing of the Demon King, the Qingmu Sect was in a state of disrepair again...

This has made Sect Leader Song very busy and anxious recently.

When Zhao Jingfan first arrived, Sect Leader Song was yelling at an unlucky Jindan disciple: "What's wrong with you? The medicine garden hasn't been repaired yet?"

"Master...it's easy to build a garden, but the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden..." The disciple lowered his head and stammered, "I can't get all of them together."

Zhao Jingfan understood immediately after hearing this——

Aoki Zong is out of money!

When the Great Freedom Demon Sect came into the world, they suffered a bit, but it was still okay at that time: because the Jiushan Sect blocked them from the beginning, and when the Qingmu Sect evacuated, they still had time to organize the resources within the sect and save some of their wealth.

But when the Great Free Demon King came again, things were different.

At that time, the sect had just spent a lot of effort to rebuild the mountain gate and tidy up the medicine garden, which consumed a lot of resources and spirit stones.

Then when the Great Free Demon King arrived, everything went to waste.

The headmaster has been in a very bad mood these days looking at those shocking bills.

The brothers in the room were scolded. Sect Leader Song waved his hands while scolding them, as if to drive them away: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go down and do it?"

Zhao Jingfan paused and hesitated a little - he still had some insight.

The headmaster is busy and in a bad mood now, so it doesn't seem like a good time to ask him.

But at this moment, Sect Master Song had already sensed Zhao Jingfan's arrival.

"Jingfan? You're looking for me? What's the matter?"

Before Zhao Jingfan could speak, Sect Leader Song asked with a smile.

The senior brother hadn't left yet. He watched as the master's expression changed from winter to spring in an instant. His eyes were dazed, as if he had suffered even greater hurt.

Zhao Jingfan didn't say anything at first, but bowed in a proper manner. He was now showing his true colors, or rather, he even had the intention of being an imperial envoy...

But the more this happened, the more respectful he became in front of outsiders.

After he had paid his respects, he explained in detail the purpose of his visit.

"Qingling Pills..." Sect Leader Song touched his chin and frowned, "What do you want to ask?"

“…”

…

"The headmaster checked some of his treasured books and found a piece of news!"

"What news?"

Zheng Fa and Xiao Yuying were cheered up.

Although the Qingmu Sect does not have a deep foundation, Sect Leader Song is a Nascent Soul after all. He is definitely a backbone in the Xuanwei Realm. He is knowledgeable and extremely good at alchemy.

It can be said that his knowledge and understanding of the Dao of Alchemy may be better than that of all of them combined.

"The recipe for the Qingling Pill has indeed been changed."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The headmaster said that he heard that there was a spiritual plant called Rong Shen Hua in the previous pill recipe, but it was later replaced."

Zhao Jingfan’s words made Zheng Fa frown.

Rong Shen Flower? Isn't it the Five Elements Orchid?

"Does your Sect Leader know when this recipe was changed?"

“He’s not sure about that either…”

"Melting Divine Flower..." Xiao Yuying pondered for a moment and waved her hand.

There are many more jade tubes in the hall.

"I remember seeing this kind of spiritual plant before, but I didn't pay much attention to it." Xiao Yuying said as she searched in the jade tube. After a while, she said, "I got it!"

“There is also a Rong Shen flower here!”

“We have this one, too!”

There were four or five jade tubes containing records of the Rongshen Flower, and Xiao Yuying picked them out after a while.

But there isn’t much to note here, and it doesn’t even seem to have anything to do with the Five Elements Orchid.

She looked at the four or five jade cylinders and frowned, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she said, "The original records of these jade cylinders should all be from the beginning of this era."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa was a little confused.

"That is to say, spiritual plants like the Rong Shen Flower only appeared at the beginning of this era. It didn't seem to exist in the last era. Now, I haven't heard of it either."

Xiao Yuying explained, with a meaningful tone in her voice.

When Zheng Fa heard this, he felt refreshed and said:

"Changed your name?"

"The Fusion God Flower is the Five Elements Orchid?"

Xiao Yuying nodded slowly: "This is very likely."

Zheng Fa waved his hand, and a light curtain with nothing in it appeared in the hall.

The name of Five Elements Orchid first appeared on the light curtain, and there was an arrow behind the Five Elements Orchid, pointing to the Qingling Pill, and behind the Qingling Pill was the Rongshen Flower.

There is a blank space next to the Rongshen Flower, as if expressing Zheng Fa's hesitation.

This is him sorting out the clues.

The Five Elements Orchid was deliberately erased from history.

But some elixirs really need the Five Elements Orchid, such as the Qingling Pill:

The market for this kind of elixir is quite large, and there are many cultivators who need it, but improving the elixir formula takes time.

In particular, some alchemists may make a living by relying on these kinds of elixirs.

Therefore, in order to avoid the taboo of the Five Elements Orchid, some people changed the name of the Five Elements Orchid to Rong Shen Flower and recorded it in the classics? However, as the Five Elements Orchids became less and less, and the recipe of the Qingling Pill was improved, this name gradually lost its meaning and became somewhat risky. The name of Rong Shen Flower also gradually disappeared.

This makes sense in terms of time and logic.

But there is a lack of a complete chain of evidence, or in other words, solid evidence.

The evidence was soon found.

Starting from Rongshen Flower, they searched the previous information again and soon made new discoveries.

Xie Qingxue sent a message, which was a fragment: "With the Rong Shen Flower as the main ingredient, and the Frost Leaf and the Transformation Spirit Grass as supplementary ingredients, it can be made into a large elixir, which is extremely useful for our cultivation. Unfortunately, the Rong Shen Flower is also rare."

"Thank you, Fairy? Where did this record come from?"

"One of my ancestors from Tianhe Sect!" Xie Qingxue answered with a little excitement, "There are some incomplete things in them, some even sound like mumbling, and no one has ever paid attention to them."

"I didn't expect... it would be so simple?"

Zheng Fa asked in confusion: "Simple?"

"Of course it's easy. Some travel notes and a few words can reproduce a piece of erased history..."

"I know the strength of the Five Sects better than you do. They want to hide something...it is really difficult for others to find."

"But you guys...are so fast."

It can be seen that Xie Qingxue's words are full of sighs.

This is not false. Let alone other things like the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method and the history of Venerable Tianhe, who can figure it out now?

Think about Xie Qingxue's lineage again...

They have been working themselves to death, but still haven't figured out what the "Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method" is all about.

It seems that Master Shouzhong knew the truth about the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method, but later, perhaps because of caution, or other reasons, or perhaps because of various constraints, he did not pass it down.

Today, only a few words remain.

As a result, Zheng Fa and a group of people quickly found a secret history from some miscellaneous records.

The contrast between them is enough to show that Xie Qingxue's lineage is useless.

Naturally, it was enough to break Xie Qingxue's defense...

Zheng Fa turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yuying. Xiao Yuying seemed to have sensed Xie Qingxue's surprise and raised the corners of her mouth with a little pride.

The benefits of keeping Xiao Yuying were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Unlike others, Zheng Fa actually valued the knowledge in this girl's mind more than others who were amazed at Xiao Yuying's magnetic body and good fortune.

Even the position Zheng Fa had set up for her was a professor of archaeology! In his opinion, Xiao Yuying at least had the initial ability of a historian, especially her analysis of texts and architectural styles, which brought a lot of benefits to this research.

This cannot be said to be a modern concept. In the modern world, from ancient times to the present, there has actually been no shortage of scholars who have studied this.

But here’s the thing…

The Xuanwei Realm does not value this ability at all!

Zheng Fa rarely sees this method of acquiring knowledge only through data collection, textual research and even field archaeology in the Xuanwei world. As far as he knows, only Xiao Yuying has some connection with this method.

Or perhaps some monks have developed this awareness through practice.

But as a discipline, the world of Xuanwei may still have a long way to go in this regard.

Xiao Yuying was a little confused. Not only did she not show any joy, but she kept looking at Zheng Fa.

"Fairy Xiao?"

"I kind of believe what you said."

"Um?"

"Without cultivation or fighting, but with pure knowledge and analysis... you can make such a discovery. These things can be done by ordinary people. Your idea may have some chance of success."

"Fairy Xiao...isn't this your credit?"

Xiao Yuying was silent for a while, and then said in a tone that said, "I didn't know I was so powerful before, but I didn't know I had this ability before."

“…”

Zheng Fa understood that the Yuan magnetic body was very useful and Xiao Yuying didn't need these fancy things!

Indeed, in the eyes of cultivators, this kind of textual research is not comparable to spiritual awareness and cultivation? Perhaps this is the most fundamental reason why this subject has not developed in the Xuanwei world.

but……

"Fairy Xiao, you don't believe me?"

"..." Xiao Yuying blinked and suddenly smiled, "I just want to see if you can do it."

"…What if it doesn't work?"

"No, it won't be too late to get out of this situation later. I have my master with me...it shouldn't be a big deal."

…

Zheng Fa was about to break through the defense.

This is like doing business together. You are worried every day, thinking that everyone is in the same boat, and you are afraid of losing everything. But your partner tells you that if you go bankrupt, she will have to go back and inherit the family business...

Zheng Fa didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

He looked at the recipe and called Zhao Jingfan in the post: "Did you just say that your Qingmu Sect is very poor recently?"
