BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223 - Tang Xing
"Although Qin Xiaobo had sworn a heavenly oath, we can\'t be positive that everything he knows is the truth and it would be considered rude of us to trouble the alchemist guild."
Elder Jing smiled as she shook her head. "I know your worries Elder Kun but don\'t forget who I am and what kind of position I have in the alchemist guild."
Elder Kun shuddered as he recalled her ranking in the alchemy field.
He scratched his head slightly in embarrassment. "Ah- I have been really absent-minded lately."
"Ah right, Elder Jing, these are some of the modified Strength Enhancing Pills that Qin Xiaobo fessed up." Elder Kun added as he handed over the modified pill to Elder Jing.
Elder Jing grabbed the modified pill from Elder Kun as she started inspecting the pill\'s texture and quality.
\'Indeed, this kind of pill can only be created by that person.\' Elder Jing exclaimed inwardly as she stored the modified pill into her storage ring.
Afterward, she instructed Elder Kun to handle Qin Xiaobo according to the sect rules as she needed time to prepare for her departure.
Sometime later, Elder Jing returned to her courtyard as she took out a communication device.
"Sect leader Kong, I\'ll be heading out tomorrow to the alchemist guild." Elder Jing said.
"Hmm, Little Jing, are you sure you want to go tomorrow?" Kong Yusheng\'s voice resounded from the communication device.
"Un, there\'s a chance that the person from back then is still alive and today we had an outer disciple consuming one of his modified pills." Elder Jing started explaining the event about the arena.
Kong Yusheng took a while to digest the information he received from Elder Jing.
Afterward, he asked, "A-Are you sure? If he\'s still alive then the cultivation world would be in turmoil again."
"Although I\'m not 100 percent sure he is still alive, if there is a chance then I\'m going to investigate it." Elder Jing replied.
"I-I understand then, make sure to be cautious at all times as I still have to deal with the Misty Forest incident and would head off to meet with Meng Pao." Kong Yusheng warned Elder Jing as he then stopped the communication device.
Elder Jing also stored back her communication device as she entered her courtyard.
"Yang Wei, are you here?" Elder Jing said as she started stripping some of her clothes to change.
"I\'m here Jing Feng." Yang Wei came out from the garden and saw Elder Jing\'s flawless skin.
"I\'m going to head to the alchemist guild tomorrow and meet with Alchemist Guo." Elder Jing said, ignoring the leer from Yang Wei.
Yang Wei held a dumbfounded expression at her decision.
"Didn\'t you order the sect to be on lockdown?" He then asked.
Elder Jing suddenly stopped her movement briefly as she forgot about the lockdown they had implemented.
"Whoops- whatever, it\'s not like the lockdown was for me anyway." Elder Jing shrugged.
Yang Wei rolled his eyes as he picked up the clothes that Elder Jing just flung aside to the floor.
"Is this about the modified Strength Enhancing Pill from Qin Xiaobo?" Yang Wei asked as he dumped the clothes for laundry.
"Mhmm, the modified pill isn\'t as simple as you think it is." Elder Jing said as she finished changing into her pajamas.
After that, she took a seat down on a couch as she echoed Yang Wei to come over.
Yang Wei smiled briefly as he took a seat down next to her and interlocked their fingers.
"Let me take a guess- the modified pill was created by a maniac and has caused a sensation in the cultivation world." Yang Wei teased.
Elder Jing held a gawking expression at Yang Wei\'s prediction. "How did you know?"
"Isn\'t it pretty obvious and cliche at this point?" Yang Wei grinned. "I\'m not some dense person that couldn\'t connect the dots together and piece them into a story."
Elder Jing nodded her head.
"Anyway, that maniac you were speaking of was once a genius in the alchemist world. At the age of 8, he had already become an alchemist and his success in this path was greater than ever."
"I\'m ready for the plot twist." Yang Wei teased.
Elder Jing rolled her eyes at him. "I\'m trying to give you a story so it would be polite and kind of you to not give me a sarcastic remark."
Yang Wei gave an apologetic look as he sat diligently with his ears perked up, almost like a little kid waiting for his mother to give them a story before bedtime.
Elder Jing chuckled softly as she continued with the story. "The maniac was called Tang Xing and due to his achievement in the alchemist field, it started to cloud his vision. He became overly arrogant and treated people like dirt."
"Although none of them were any serious crime, it was frowned upon by cultivators who cared about their reputation in the open. Thus, people still allowed Tang Xing to do as he pleased until he decided to form a crazy idea."
Elder Jing then paused for a few minutes, clearly trying to keep Yang Wei in suspense.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth slightly at Elder Jing\'s naughty behavior. "Are you trying to make me take a guess?"
Elder Jing nodded her head.
Yang Wei sighed softly as he regretted speaking too fast with his thinking. "I\'m guessing the crazy idea is destroying the cultivation world?"
"Not quite- but could be similar to that."
"Hmm, if this maniac could create a modified pill that harms the body of a cultivator then there must be someone available for him to experiment in order to succeed with such a pill-" Yang Wei suddenly stopped as he finally realized what Tang Xing did.
"That maniac experiment on people for his creation pill?" Yang Wei exclaimed loudly.
