Chapter 639: Chapter 307: Risk Transfer, Gang Operation (Part 3)

Nowadays, there is a new post on the Jiushan Forum unknown to outsiders.

The viewing permissions for the post are only open to a few, such as Zheng Fa, Yan Wushuang, and Xie Qingxue.

Yan Wushuang was the first to post: “Senior Sister, I have arrived.”

Xie Qingxue immediately replied: “I have attracted the attention of the elders in the sect. If there’s any problem, I will handle him myself.”

Zheng Fa seemed to have been paying attention to them, and then said: “Mr. Yan, Fairy Xie, I am also ready on my side.”

A project team was being formed again in the Heavenly Palace of the Jiushan Sect.

The team was small.

Besides Zheng Fa, there was only Xiao Yuying, and a few disciples—these disciples were part of the batch sent by the Hundred Immortals Alliance, and they all knew some alchemy methods.

Although not profound, in the Jiushan Realm, it was considered quite presentable.

He glanced at a few people and said in the post: “Mr. Yan, I have Fairy Xiao here, along with some disciples who know the Alchemy Dao.”

Xie Qingxue saw this and felt both amused and exasperated, with a sense of the thrill of a collaborative crime.

She was the lookout.

Zheng Fa led a group in charge of logistics and command.

Yan Wushuang was the one in the most dangerous position… the unlucky guy.

The silhouette of the unlucky guy soon appeared at the entrance of the Secret Pavilion, although his cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, as the son of the Sect Leader and a True Inheritor, he had the qualification to enter the Secret Pavilion.

Displaying a token, Yan Wushuang smoothly entered the hall.

“There are not many records here.”

Yan Wushuang introduced.

“Mr. Yan, remember not to look at the elixir recipes!”

Zheng Fa immediately replied.

“But will that work?”

Yan Wushuang appeared a bit hesitant, thinking about finding the purpose of the Five Elements Orchid, but how could he do it without elixir recipes?

Zheng Fa glanced at Xiao Yuying, saw her nod, and replied in the post:

“Fairy Xiao mentioned that sometimes travelogues, experiences, or accidental records might contain more clues.”

“And I think the elixir recipes related to the Five Elements Orchid are probably all destroyed.”

“Moreover, I am also worried about your safety, Mr. Yan.”

Yan Wushuang did not reply, he just silently put away the Comprehensive Records and looked at the bookshelf in front of him.

The Secret Pavilion was only one floor, and there were not many Jade Tubes. If confined to travelogues and miscellaneous discussions, they were even rarer.

He picked up a Jade Tube but did not look closely at it; he seemed bored, glanced at it twice, then tossed it back onto the bookshelf, even pouting, appearing somewhat impatient.

There were other disciples in the pavilion who, seeing this, just assumed that this son of the Sect Leader was extremely bored and playing around here.

Even the elder in the pavilion only paid attention to him for a moment. Seeing that he indeed only glanced at each Jade Tube, the elder thought he was just fooling around and paid no further mind.

But on the Jiushan Forum, Yan Wushuang was frantically posting.

“This is a travelogue of a Divinity Transformation elder…”

“This senior, uh, Supreme Elder’s…”

“This one I’ve never heard of before…”

This was a small trick discussed between Zheng Fa and Xie Qingxue:

For a Golden Core cultivator like Yan Wushuang, although a glance was not enough to fully comprehend the content of the Jade Tube, it was enough to remember it and transcribe it into a Jade Tube.

To others, it looked like Yan Wushuang was not using his brain.

But the problem is…

Zheng Fa, with a whole group of people, was acting as his brain:

As an archaeologist, although Xiao Yuying had not received extremely professional training, her textual analysis ability was quite good.

Along with several disciples proficient in alchemy to explain some unfamiliar terminologies to them.

These travelogues from different eras, and even different languages, were quickly analyzed thoroughly.

Through the Jiushan Forum, Yan Wushuang also enjoyed Zheng Fa’s treatment—becoming a relentless scanner.

Soon, Yan Wushuang scanned through dozens of Jade Tubes, but found no records related to the Five Elements Orchid.

After another two hours, Xiao Yuying suddenly shouted:

“This one!”

Zheng Fa looked at the new post that Yan Wushuang sent.

It was a very long note, but with Zheng Fa’s Divine Sense that far surpassed an ordinary Golden Core, he quickly found the spot that Xiao Yuying referred to.

“… I heard that an ingredient in the Spirit Clearing Pill is called the Five Elements Orchid, unfortunately, it no longer exists. However, the Spirit Clearing Pill is extremely important to cultivators, so a virtuous Pill Master spent a hundred years finally improving the elixir recipe of the Spirit Clearing Pill…”

Five Elements Orchid!

Zheng Fa was exhilarated internally but hastily posted: “Mr. Yan, don’t look back!”

In the Secret Pavilion, Yan Wushuang was initially a bit excited, wanting to look at the Jade Tube that recorded the Five Elements Orchid, but at this moment, he froze and moved straight to the next bookshelf.

Thankfully, Zheng Fa reminded him in time.

Otherwise, he really might have turned back to take a good look at that Jade Tube…

Xie Qingxue swept her Divine Sense and inwardly cursed at this foolish junior brother, but was also relieved.

…

Zheng Fa looked at Xiao Yuying, who pondered for a moment and said:

“The wording style of this travelogue should be from the early style of this era.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa was invigorated; this meant that the accounts in this travelogue were more credible.

But Xiao Yuying’s next words left him somewhat disappointed:

“But the Spirit Clearing Pill is not a very rare elixir.”

Zheng Fa did not speak, he just looked at those disciples who were adept in the Alchemy Dao.

“Fairy Xiao is right.” Several disciples looked at each other, the one with the highest cultivation at the Golden Core stage stood up, a bit nervously explaining, “The Spirit Clearing Pill is a purification elixir for Spiritual Power, suitable for cultivators above Foundation Establishment to use.”

“We don’t know the elixir recipe of the Spirit Clearing Pill, but we have indeed never heard of any sect purchasing the Five Elements Orchid.”

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa understood the meaning:

If the Spirit Clearing Pill is not rare, there naturally would be a reason for no one to purchase Five Elements Orchid—this reason should be what this travelogue stated, the recipe of the Spirit Clearing Pill had changed.

The reason for the Spirit Clearing Pill not being rare probably is as the travelogue says: cultivators need this pill greatly, and it has always had a significant market.

At this time, Xie Qingxue suddenly spoke in the post:

“I reviewed the recipe for the Spirit Clearing Pill a few days ago!”

Zheng Fa was invigorated, waiting for Xie Qingxue’s further explanation.

Xie Qingxue took a few steps in the bookshelf, picked up a Jade Tube, confirmed it once more, then said confidently: “There is no Five Elements Orchid in the recipe ingredients.”

Reading this, Zheng Fa thought for a moment, then slowly analyzed in the post:

“Fairy Xie, what you see should be the current recipe… which means it’s an amended version.”

“What Mr. Yan’s travelogue mentions was the earlier Spirit Clearing Pill, which once used the Five Elements Orchid.”

Yan Wushuang quickly replied: “So, was the pill the Ancestor Master used for cultivation the Spirit Clearing Pill?”

Zheng Fa pondered slightly before replying: “I don’t think so, since the Five Elements Orchid itself isn’t recorded, back then, nobody would dare to make such a pill, probably.”

“This… isn’t it a dead end?”

The disappointment in Yan Wushuang’s words was apparent.

Not just him, even Xiao Yuying and the others in the hall showed some disappointment.

But Zheng Fa was not as dejected, he comforted everyone: “At least we figured out that the Spirit Clearing Pill is related to the Five Elements Orchid…”

“What’s the use of that?”

“Don’t know.” Zheng Fa replied again, then added, “We’ll find out later.”

Not only Xiao Yuying but even Xie Qingxue and Yan Wushuang far away in the Tianhe Sect looked puzzled.

Yet Zheng Fa sent a message to another snitch:

“Seventh Young Master, do you know… the Spirit Clearing Pill?”

Xiao Yuying watching him take out the Creation Jade Disc seemed to have guessed what he was doing and looked shocked—buying off the famous senior sister of the Tianhe Sect and the Sect Leader’s son was absurd enough, and here you go again?

Zheng Fa smiled slightly, seeming a bit shy: At home, rely on Senior Sister Zhang, stepping out, rely on snitches, oops, good comrades.

Research always requires data collection, but the Jiushan Sect just lacks some materials, and has to rely on… borrowing.

Conveniently, Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan’s Qingmu Sect specializes in Alchemy Dao!
