Chapter 47: Chapter 47 The Spiritual Turtle Liquid smeared on the Jade Pendant"The Five Sects have always been tightly connected, so when Immortal Xuan You requested our help in
Li Daoxuan shook his head slightly, "Master’s orders are that only two core disciples from each peak can lead the search. Old Four and Old Five have already set off, there’s no need for us to go."
"But..."
"No buts. Obey. This situation is extraordinary. Even if you blame me, I cannot let you act recklessly," Li Daoxuan said sternly.
Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth but then flew off by sword control, "I’ll find Master!"
...
At that moment, as the group had just descended the mountain, Yan Xiaohu led them into Flame Dragon City.
"Alright, we’ll rest here for the night. Remember to buy plenty of food and water," Yan Xiaohu instructed the eight true disciples.
These eight were all early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivators. Yan Xiaohu often took them on sect missions, earning points and developing a close and trustful cooperation.
"Yes, Senior Yan!" They responded with a salute and then dispersed to purchase supplies.
"Since the Treasure Exchange Gathering ended, Flame Dragon City seems quite deserted. Third senior, are we really taking a rest break just after starting our journey?" Zhou Qing asked, holding his old hen.
Yan Xiaohu wrapped an arm around Zhou Qing’s neck, playfully teasing the hen in his arms.
"Of course, didn’t Master say this mission is just for show? Don’t take it too seriously. Besides, let the other peaks scout ahead, we’ll assess the situation later," Yan Xiaohu said, looking experienced and wise.
Zhou Qing remained silent. Since joining Taiqing Sect, this was his first outing, and he lacked field experience compared to his third senior.
"Let’s go, follow me to a place!" Yan Xiaohu eagerly pulled Zhou Qing along.
Soon, standing outside Lingxiao Manor, with Yan Xiaohu looking eager, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but feel speechless.
"Third senior, are you trying to fulfill a long-held regret?" Zhou Qing asked, smiling wryly.
Yan Xiaohu curled his lip, "Listen to you, we’re here to trace clues from the source. Let’s go!"
The manor master greeted the disciples from Taiqing Sect respectfully and invited them in.
"First, take us to the hot springs where the female disciples from Cyan Feather Immortal Sect bathed!" Yan Xiaohu commanded.
The manor master: "..."
Standing by the hot spring, Yan Xiaohu mischievously took out a picture and located the corresponding spot, marveling at it.
"Old Four, not bad, this spot is perfect, a complete view," he said.
Zhou Qing turned and walked away.
Boring!
"Immortal Master, this is where Cui Yingying stayed!" The manor master found the corresponding room on a list and cautiously pointed it out.
Yan Xiaohu took it right away.
"Thank you, old man, you may go!"
Once the manor master left, the two pushed open the door and entered.
The room was elegant and meticulously arranged, with a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
At this moment, Yan Xiaohu put aside his usual playful demeanor and seriously began to inspect.
"Cui Yingying is Immortal Xuan You’s thirteenth direct disciple, possessing outstanding talent. Advancing to Nascent Soul is just a matter of time. Now, with her and a few other core disciples missing, it’s truly intriguing."
"We’re not here to be the lead, but since Old Mo has sent us, we need to find some clues to report back. At the very least, we must identify who’s behind this, so Taiqing Sect can prepare in advance."
Yan Xiaohu muttered to himself as he searched.
Watching his third senior’s serious demeanor, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a newfound respect.
He said nothing more and began searching as well.
"Such a tacky item!"
Not long after, Yan Xiaohu found a heart-shaped jade pendant on the table, as large as a face.
One side was engraved with "Yingying," the other with "Yin Xiao."
Yan Xiaohu laughed loudly, "See that? Trying to woo a girl with such a cheap item. How much can this be worth? It’s so vulgar!"
Watching his third senior mock the pendant, Zhou Qing felt a stir and used Daily Reflection on it.
[Ordinary Material Jade Pendant: Made from mundane jade, worth about thirty taels of silver, but coated with Spiritual Turtle Liquid, increasing its value by at least threefold.]
Frowning at the information, Zhou Qing saw Yan Xiaohu discard the pendant and resumed his search. Unable to resist, Zhou Qing asked, "Third senior, what is Spiritual Turtle Liquid?"
Yan Xiaohu, bending under the bed to search, turned to him in surprise, "How do you know about Spiritual Turtle Liquid?"
