The group chatted as they walked back to the camp.
Many people who wanted to ask Song Tingwan for elixirs noticed that her friends all had extraordinary presence.
After thinking about it, not many people dared to stop this group.
Each of them alone could command a powerful force. If you offend these people, you might find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Six Realms in the future.
Only those who sincerely sought the pills, seeing that they were heading towards the territory of the Sword Inquiry Sect with obvious intentions, silently considered their options and decided to wait there.
We will ask Venerable Pillow Sleep for help again after he finishes his work.
“Master is really impressive now. Look at the way those people are looking at him.”
Baili Xijiang walked behind them, his steps light and cheerful.
It seems that his master's growing fame is something to be even happier than his own personal fame.
The gazes of those around Song Tingwan, which were previously mostly impressed by her appearance and temperament, were now more of a sign of pity for her frail health.
Now, it comes down to genuine respect.
It's not easy.
Song Tingwan smiled slightly. She preferred her current appearance to any pity for the weak.
No one could predict the highest grade of pills she could refine. Life was so long, who could guarantee they wouldn't get hurt? If they did get hurt, it was only by having a good relationship with her that they could more easily ask her to refine pills for them.
Profit comes first.
That's normal.
Therefore, the status of the Alchemy Saint in the cultivation world is still very high.
When the group arrived at Lord Yanshan's tent, they stopped and Song Siyao went in first to inform him in advance.
A moment later, Song Siyao came out and nodded to them.
After entering the tent, Song Tingwan flicked her wrist, and Wu Ling appeared silently beside her.
"Young friends, what brings you here?"
Lord Yan sat at the head of the table and smiled kindly at them.
Song Siyao stood beside her master, looking up at her elder sister.
"There are still many things I don't understand. I would appreciate it if the sect leader could enlighten me."
Song Tingwan spoke in a gentle and polite voice, and Shen Zhuochuan nodded slightly beside her.
The others stood behind them, all showing strong support for Wan'er.
Yan Shanjun smiled with interest, then smiled at them and said, "Sit down. Is there anything you want to ask?"
Everyone took their seats.
Ghostly energy hovered around Song Tingwan.
Yan Shanjun paused slightly, then awkwardly shifted his gaze.
Thinking back to his first meeting with this ghost cultivator, it was truly embarrassing.
After a moment's thought, Song Tingwan continued, "I heard the sect leader mention the Ghost Control Technique of Wutong Mountain. Could you elaborate?"
Lord Yan had anticipated this.
When he mentioned the art of controlling ghosts, their eyes lit up.
They were all incredibly curious, but they refrained from asking.
He smiled and said seriously, "Zewu's father, Venerable Chunwu, is a powerful being in the Tribulation Transcending stage."
"Their Wutong Mountain sounds nice, like a phoenix perching on a parasol tree, but in reality, the father and son possess a strange fire that resembles a phoenix when it burns."
"Chunwu's signature move is the Phoenix Burning Palm. Almost no one can withstand the burning of that strange fire. I once saw it. He burned his opponent to death. It was cruel and ruthless."
“After that, I felt that he was heartless and cold-blooded, so I couldn’t help but investigate him.”
"We just discovered that they were using strange fire to refine ghost cultivators, erasing their memories of their previous lives, so that they could easily control the ghost cultivators for their own use."
“Four or five hundred years ago, I led the elders of the Sword Inquiry Sect in a private attack.”
"But they found evidence that those cultivators who were turned into ghost cultivators were all evil spirits who committed all kinds of evil deeds in their previous lives."
"Erasing their memories and turning them into puppet ghost cultivators, isn't that also eliminating a scourge for the cultivation world?"
Yan Shanjun spoke with an extremely sarcastic tone.
At that time, it was impossible to hide this matter from other forces; everyone would investigate on their own.
Based on his own opinion, Wutong Mountain must be unclean.
Strangely, it was impossible to infiltrate Wutong Mountain, as the mountain was inhabited by people who were completely obedient to Venerable Yichunwu.
There was absolutely no way to break through.
It was also impossible to investigate further.
"So strange?"
Unless one has completely withdrawn from the world, how could they be completely untraceable?
"Yes, everyone on Wutong Mountain leaves a trace of the aura of a strange fire on their wrist. They will know if anyone who is not from Wutong Mountain enters."
Shen Zhuochuan raised an eyebrow. "What do they need so many high-level ghost cultivators for? After all these years, they probably possess considerable power."
If it is truly related to the white mist, then... their intentions are far more significant.
Song Tingwan looked thoughtfully at Wu Ling beside her.
So, could it be that Wu Ling's father... was turned into a ghost cultivator?
And the person who attacked Wu Ling back then was also from Wutong Mountain?
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Yan Shanjun nodded solemnly: "In recent years, many young people with excellent potential have disappeared. They have all avoided the disciples of sects and aristocratic families and are all rogue cultivators."
He paid close attention to the movements at Wutong Mountain. Although Yun Qian handled many of the messages submitted by various sects, he would select some to examine.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that Wutong Mountain deserves to die.
He even tried to obtain a wisp of the strange fire, attempting to find a way to overcome this thing.
Unfortunately, even with all the elders of the Sword Inquiry Sect gathered together, they were unable to subdue it.
Chunwu reached the Tribulation Transcending stage with the help of this strange fire. Over the years, he has become very compatible with it, making him even more difficult to deal with.
He had not made a move against Wutong Mountain because he was wary of that strange fire.
He disliked Wutong Mountain, but he couldn't allow the Sword Inquiry Sect to suffer too much loss in order to deal with Wutong Mountain.
After all, there was no solid evidence, only his suspicion.
Fortunately, most of the elders of the Sword Inquiry Sect agreed to keep an eye on Wutong Mountain.
If conclusive evidence can be found, the first target should be Wutong.
