Lan Hua picked up a Breakthrough Pill and said to the examiners, "Please give me your scores, instructors!"
The instructors were speechless. Was there even a need to grade this?
It's truly heaven-defying that a mid-grade breakthrough pill can be refined using only a basic pill formula.
After everyone dispersed, Lan Hua put seven Breakthrough Pills into a special box.
The remaining one was handed to Kong Xuan.
"Sister Xuan'er, I think you're about to break through to the Transformation Realm, right? Here, take this Breakthrough Pill and try it out!"
Kong Xuan was initially delighted, then paused in surprise, and said playfully, "You wouldn't be using me as a test subject for your medicine, would you?"
Lan Hua remained silent; he hadn't given it much thought.
"Sister Xuan'er is overthinking it!"
Kong Xuan suddenly laughed, "I was just kidding you, how can you be so tactless!"
"Thank you, little brother!"
Lan Hua didn't mind and laughed, "If it weren't for your help, this Breakthrough Pill would never have been refined!"
Kong Xuan said, "Even if you fail this time, you will succeed next time. Top-grade pill fire is indeed different!"
Her expression suddenly changed slightly. "You managed to refine mid-grade breakthrough pills using this most basic pill formula, and you succeeded every time!"
"But it's strange that Ye Jinlian, despite having a mature pill formula, couldn't refine a high-quality Replenishing Pill!"
Lan Hua was also puzzled; both were top-grade pill fire, yet the results were vastly different.
Since Ye Jinlian helped him obtain the Dragon Gallbladder and fought alongside him to repel the Yinluo Sect's ambush, Lan Hua has completely let down his guard against her and regards Ye Jinlian as a reliable friend.
However, the problems Ye Jinlian is encountering in alchemy have forced her to reconsider.
What if it really is because the Elixir Fire doesn't belong to her, causing it to become uncontrollable?
But Lanhua has no evidence.
He had even seen Ye Jinlian bathe, and more than once.
But he couldn't find any trace of the transplanted alchemical fire. Even her face was flawless, without any sign of disguise.
"Sister Xuan'er, I'm going to see Director Fei!"
Kong Xuan nodded, put away the Breakthrough Pill, and didn't ask any further questions.
Lan Hua arrived at Fei Chun's territory and voiced her questions.
Fei Chun said, "Kong Xuan asked me about this issue!"
"The Dan Fire is out of control. Besides being controlled by someone else, another possibility is that the Dan Fire doesn't belong to her!"
"It's possible that the body can't control a high-grade alchemical fire that doesn't belong to it!"
Lan Hua asked, "What if we can't control it?"
"If you don't want the alchemical fire to backfire on you, you need to find a way to suppress or balance it!"
Just as Lan Hua was about to leave, Director Fei said, "I heard you've refined the Breakthrough Pill? Not bad for such a young age!"
"Thank you, Director Fei!"
Lan Hua returned to her room, her mind filled with thoughts of Ye Jinlian.
He felt that Ye Jinlian's enthusiasm for hot springs was a bit strange.
A series of knocks on the door interrupted Lan Hua's thoughts.
The person who arrived was Zhou Yu.
"Brother Lan, good news! Wang Jinyu has been brought back!"
"Instructor Wang?"
The two hurried to the main hall of the Law Enforcement Academy to investigate the truth behind the leak of the elixir formula.
At the head of the main hall stood three elders, led by Zhang Hong, while Wang Jinyu knelt below, looking dejected.
Looking back, Wang Jinyu must have suffered a lot during his time on the run.
The people from the Dan Shen Palace surrounded the main hall several times, like they were at a market.
Lan Hua muttered to herself, "My goodness, so there were just this many people when I was interrogated that day!"
"Brother Zhou, do you know how Instructor Wang was arrested?"
Zhou Yu said in a low voice, "I heard that the Pill God Palace sent several protectors to ambush him on his way to the Immortal Sword Sect and the Yin Luo Sect, which is how he was captured!"
"One of the guardians was seriously injured!"
Lan Hua was stunned, not expecting Instructor Wang to be so capable.
Zhang Hong's face turned cold, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
"Wang Jinyu, do you know your crime?"
Wang Jinyu decided to try to save herself, so she forcefully denied it and directly asked, "What crime have I committed?"
Zhang Hong angrily said, "You stole the formula for the Breakthrough Pill and leaked it to people outside the sect. What crime do you say you committed?"
Wang Jinyu glared and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Hong glanced at Lan Hua, who tactfully stepped forward and said, "That day, I saw you coming out of the dormitory area for the students, but you left in a hurry!"
Wang Jinyu arrogantly said, "So what? I just needed to pee and was passing by your dormitory area to relieve myself, is that not allowed?"
Lan Hua was speechless. It seemed that Wang Jinyu wouldn't confess unless she used special methods!
He leisurely moved to Wang Jinyu's side, suddenly lifted him up, and then used the Monkey Stealing Peaches move, which startled Wang Jinyu.
Wang Jinyu possessed a high level of cultivation, but he was severely injured by several guardians and jointly sealed, leaving him at Lan Hua's mercy.
Everyone was also surprised by Lan Hua's action.
As soon as Lan Hua made her move, she felt that Instructor Wang's lower body was empty, and she immediately understood everything.
Some female instructors and students exclaimed, "How could he resort to such despicable tactics? It's an eyesore!"
"Exactly, vulgar!"
Zhang Hong smiled knowingly.
"really!"
Lan Hua laughed and said, "Since you're not going to confess, then don't blame me for not giving you face!"
"Elder Zhang, according to my investigation just now, Instructor Wang is a eunuch. He must be an undercover agent sent by the Yinluo Sect!"
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in disbelief.
"Instructor Wang doesn't have a penis? That's outrageous!"
"This is truly shattering my worldview!"
Zhang Hong had already guessed a thing or two and was not surprised, but he was furious at the shameless methods of the Yinluo Sect.
When Wang Jinyu's identity was revealed, she seemed to deflate and lose all her vitality.
Zhang Hong said, "Wang Jinyu, aren't you going to confess yet? Do you really want to force me to use the Searching God Technique?"
Upon hearing about the Search for the Gods technique, Wang Jinyu was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy.
That spirit-searching technique can probe a person's memories, but once it is used, the recipient will inevitably suffer unbearable pain and then become demented.
The Enforcement Council will not easily use such techniques, as it would be contrary to human nature.
Wang Jinyu then confessed everything.
It turns out that he was originally the deputy head of the Dark Hall of the Yinluo Sect, responsible for intelligence gathering and infiltration. He had infiltrated the Danshen Palace twenty years ago.
The Yinluo Sect was not established for long, and Wang Jinyu can be considered a veteran.
Unfortunately, he lacked talent, and although he became an instructor, he was unable to access the core secrets.
However, he possessed a considerable number of minor elixirs.
Wang Jinyu then leaked these pill formulas to the Yinluo Sect and sided with the Immortal Sword Sect, secretly trading with them. This gave the Immortal Sword Sect the resources to recruit and train alchemists.
As for the Breakthrough Pill, it was the same as what Lan Hua had thought.
The theft of the elixir formula and the luring of Lan Hua into the encirclement were both done by Wang Jinyu alone.
Lan Hua escaped death and returned to the Dan Shen Palace. He immediately sensed something was wrong, ended his undercover mission, and fled.
Lan Hua suddenly realized, "No wonder I couldn't catch up with him that day! His cultivation level is quite high!"
Zhang Hong angrily said, "So it was you who leaked the pill formula. No wonder the Immortal Sword Sect's pill-refining capabilities have been getting stronger and stronger in recent years!"
"The truth is out today. Wang Jinyu's cultivation is hereby abolished, and he is thrown into the dungeon! Lan Hua is innocent and her freedom is unrestricted!"
