Chapter 640: Chapter 308: Envoy from the Upper Sect, Puzzle of Truth

That new post has another snitch.

Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan rarely gets involved in such big matters, and he seemed extremely excited:

“I’ve heard of the Spirit Clearing Pill!” He replied in the thread, “Wait, I’ll go ask around in the sect.”

“…Wait for me!”

Zheng Fa looked at Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan’s words, and it was as if he could picture this guy rushing out the door. He couldn’t help but smile slightly.

He didn’t bother to give Zhao Jingfan any additional instructions.

As for Xie Qingxue and Yan Wushuang from the Tianhe Sect, he couldn’t reach them, and could only hope they would be cautious.

But Zhao Jingfan from the Qingmu Sect is different — nowadays, the Alliance Hierarch of the Hundred Immortals Alliance is Zheng Fa!

It’s just that he temporarily doesn’t have the time to manage these sects.

Whether Zhao Jingfan finds anything about the Spirit Clearing Pill or not, there generally wouldn’t be any danger.

There’s nothing much to worry about.

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

“I went to the Scripture Tower to check, and even asked my brothers there to help me look up. There’s quite a lot of records about the Spirit Clearing Pill.”

Then, Zhao Jingfan started posting various elixir recipes, travel notes, or elixir formulas in the thread.

He’s much bolder than Yan Wushuang and the others.

Yan Wushuang and Xie Qingxue, when sharing Tianhe Sect’s information, would actually pick and choose — after all, they are from the Tianhe Sect, and still have some sense of protection for their sect, not everything is shown to Zheng Fa.

In short, these two spies still have some confidentiality awareness.

For example, elixir recipes, elixir formulas, and alchemy techniques are rarely posted in the thread.

Zheng Fa also understands their feelings and even intentionally only asks for travel notes.

But Zhao Jingfan is different…

What sect or no sect, elixir recipes or no elixir recipes.

We’re all part of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, why make distinctions!

Post!

Swipe, swipe, swipe, swipe, the thread was filled with information about the Spirit Clearing Pill.

Zhao Jingfan isn’t someone studying the Alchemy Dao, so naturally he didn’t know which material was valuable and which wasn’t, and just posted everything at once.

Zheng Fa knows he’s trying his best, and simply begins to organize these materials with Xiao Yuying and others.

We’ll set aside the elixir recipes and alchemy techniques for now.

The two focused more on some historical accounts and travel notes.

After more than half a day, Zhao Jingfan had already stopped transmitting information, after all, the Spirit Clearing Pill is just a type of pill, and there’s only so much information about it in the Qingmu Sect.

Found every nook and cranny.

Zheng Fa carefully read these posts, looked up, glanced at Xiao Yuying, and saw Xiao Yuying shaking her head, whispering, “The Qingmu Sect probably doesn’t have that long a history. From the wording of these, they are at most thirty thousand years up to now…”

Zheng Fa was silent upon hearing this.

This is the problem — they’re not looking for the Spirit Clearing Pill, but trying to find more clues about the Five Elements Orchid through the Spirit Clearing Pill.

In Zheng Fa’s view, the Spirit Clearing Pill is most likely useless to the “Nine Mountains Golden Core Method” — after all, even the Five Elements Orchid has been hidden in history, and the accompanying pill of the Tianhe Venerable’s “Nine Reincarnation Golden Core Method” is hard to overlook.

Especially when the Spirit Clearing Pill has some reputation in the Xuanwei Realm.

“So, how is it?” Seeing that they didn’t have much feedback, Zhao Jingfan asked in the thread, “Did you find anything?”

Zheng Fa posted his and Xiao Yuying’s thoughts in the thread.

Zhao Jingfan’s reply couldn’t hide the disappointment: “So… but I’ve already searched through all the sect’s scriptures, even asked many senior and junior brothers, all the records about the Spirit Clearing Pill in the sect are here.”

At this point, Yan Wushuang couldn’t help himself and asked: “This… Zhao? You seem to have the final say in the sect? High status?”

“I do have some connections…”

“Your father… also a Sect Leader?”

“No, not at all.”

“May I ask, how are your Spirit Roots?”

“Spirit Roots? Same as Zheng Fa, Dual Spirit Roots.”

Yan Wushuang seemed to ignore the five words “same as Zheng Fa” and directly grabbed onto the main point:

“Dual Spirit Roots? Then you… so bold?”

Zheng Fa could understand Yan Wushuang’s confusion —

In this world, dual spirit roots aren’t the same as dual spirit roots!

You’re a snitch, with neither background nor talent…

How come you are so daring?

“Bold? I’m working for the Alliance Hierarch of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, I’m righteous and fearless!”

“…”

Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan’s reply left Yan Wushuang speechless.

Zheng Fa can comprehend this quite well:

Yan Wushuang and Xie Qingxue, in terms of identity, status, and talent, are far superior to Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan.

Actually, Yan Wushuang should have met Zhao Jingfan before, but seemingly without any impression, which reveals the huge gap between them, Zhao Jingfan probably wasn’t worth noticing.

Yet…

Yan Wushuang and Xie Qingxue were practically playing a tense espionage game in the Tianhe Sect, constantly nervous, even losing sleep.

But Zhao Jingfan…

“Hold on, let me ask the Sect Leader!”

He seemed unwilling to give up, threw out a sentence and slipped away.

He left, but seeing this sentence, Yan Wushuang didn’t respond for a long time, seemingly questioning his spy life.

Even Xie Qingxue couldn’t help but say a word:

“Zhao, you truly make others envious.”

From Zhao Jingfan resorting to asking the Sect Leader whenever he disagreed, everyone could tell his days in the Qingmu Sect are really quite comfortable.

Don’t look at how Yan Wushuang is somewhat riled up, but he’s actually fine, it’s just been a bit frustrating lately, but Xie Qingxue’s situation is even worse — a chatterbox has been forcibly turned into a high mountain flower.

Zheng Fa thinks, Xie Qingxue now sees Zhao Jingfan as if a forty-year-old middle-aged person flattened by life staring at a vibrant twenty-year-old —

Clearly the other person has no money and no career, but seeing them, there’s an inexplicable envy.

The preciousness of youthful spirit is that when you look at this person, you understand that they really haven’t been beaten down by the world yet.
