Chapter 834: Chapter 832: The Arrival of the Five Poison Sect’s Saint Child and Saintess! [Fifth Update]

After He Yunfei had delivered the Flood Dragon Blood, the five thousands of years Spirit Medicines, as well as all the Spiritual Medicines needed for the Nirvana Pill,

Gu Yueqing began to refine the Elixir Pills.

The first to be refined was the Nirvana Pill.

Because the Nirvana Pill was a fifth-grade elixir, Gu Yueqing found its refinement fairly straightforward and not very difficult.

However, refining the Heaven Repairing Pill would be much more difficult for Gu Yueqing, requiring a lot of time, and the chances of the pill forming were also extremely low.

Therefore, without Lin Bai’s approval, Gu Yueqing would not recklessly attempt to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill.

Because Gu Yueqing knew in her heart that she could not refine this King-Level Elixir alone!

While Gu Yueqing was refining Elixir Pills in the Underground Palace of the He Family,

Bao Xuanming, having evaded the He Family’s pursuit, dashed from East City to North City.

Elixir King City, Zhang family.

The Patriarch of the Zhang family, surnamed Zhang Pengyi, with the strength of the Human Elixir Realm Third Layer, was a prominent figure at the pinnacle of the city’s hierarchy. This man was also a notorious lecher, with a harem of more than a hundred concubines.

Moreover, Zhang Pengyi had another identity; he was a secret agent for the Five Poison Sect.

Although the night had grown deep,

Zhang Pengyi was not in the mood to sleep, for he had received a letter from the higher-ups of the Five Poison Sect, informing him that tonight, both Saints and Saintesses would personally visit to prepare for the takeover of the He Family.

To welcome the arrival of the Saints and Saintesses, Zhang Pengyi had specially prepared a plan, which he intended to thoroughly explain to them later.

When the night was deep and quiet,

suddenly there was a faint noise on the roof.

Zhang Pengyi immediately stood up and shouted in a cold voice, "Who’s there!"

"It’s me, Brother Zhang."

At that moment, a middle-aged man with an evil look on his face jumped in through the window.

Zhang Pengyi, surprised, asked, "Bao Xuanming, what are you doing back here all of a sudden instead of staying with the He family?"

Bao Xuanming, with a face full of Evil Qi, said, "Don’t mention it, Brother Zhang. The plan to slowly consume the He Family might fail."

Zhang Pengyi was shocked and asked, "What happened? Hasn’t everything been progressing smoothly for the past three months?"

Bao Xuanming said, "It was going smoothly, but something happened today..."

Zhang Pengyi suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Bao Xuanming and said, "Don’t talk about it now. The Saints and Saintesses have arrived. Let’s go see them first; otherwise, you’ll have to explain it all over again in front of them later."

Bao Xuanming widened his eyes in astonishment and exclaimed, "What? The Saints and Saintesses are here?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Pengyi nodded and left the room with Bao Xuanming.

In the reception hall of the Zhang family, a man and a woman were sitting in the high seats.

The woman, dressed in a splashed-ink red and white long garment adorned with blood-red plum blossoms, wore a thin veil over her face, her eyes were cold and sharp as a sword.

As for the man, he had a charming appearance and a faint sinister smile on his lips, his eyes exuding an unruly and arrogant demeanor.

While Zhang Pengyi was conversing with Bao Xuanming just now, he heard a voice transmission through space and knew that the Saints and Saintesses had arrived, which was why he hurried over.

As Zhang Pengyi entered the reception hall, he hastily stepped forward and said, "Underling Zhang Pengyi from the Five Poison Sect’s Scorpio Branch pays respect to the Saints and Saintesses."

Bao Xuanming also hurriedly performed a salutation and said, "Underling Bao Xuanming from the Scorpio Branch pays respect to the Saints and Saintesses."

The Saint laughed coldly and said, "Zhang Pengyi, you must be aware of the reason why I and the Saintess are here. No need for long speeches, just give us a quick report on the situation."

The Saintess also said, "How is the situation with the He family?"

Zhang Pengyi replied with a solemn face, "Reporting back to the Saints and Saintesses, the plan is progressing smoothly. The scheme to slowly devour the He family has almost succeeded by half. But recently, there has been a little situation. However, please rest assured, Saints and Saintesses, we will definitely take down the He family within the specified time without delaying the Holy War."

The Saint child was slightly taken aback and asked, "What situation has arisen?"

Zhang Pengyi said, "This... Bao Xuanming, you speak."

"Yes." Bao Xuanming said respectfully, "Reporting back to the Saints and Saintesses, according to the orders issued by the sect leader, we are to stealthily erode the He family, assimilating their foundation and resources as our own, in preparation for the Holy War."

"Three months ago, I was ordered to return to Elixir King City from the Holy Night Dynasty and conversed with the Patriarch of the He family. I secretly administered the Snake Heart Poison into his wine, and with my manipulation over the past three months, the Snake Heart Poison has deeply rooted in the Patriarch’s bones."

"Subsequently, I stayed in the He family as the first Alchemist of Elixir King City to treat the Patriarch, and I deceived his only son, He Yunfei, into using the family’s Spiritual Stones to purchase Life Extension Divine Pills to suppress the Snake Heart Poison."

"This plan was originally going perfectly. Following this trend, the He family’s available Spiritual Stones would have been completely depleted in three months. We would only need one more month to make He Yunfei sell off his family’s property to buy Life Extension Divine Pills."

"Once He Yunfei sold off the family’s assets, Brother Zhang would begin to purchase the He family’s territories and Spiritual Medicines. Moreover, after the He family’s assets and Spiritual Stones were exhausted, the He family would no longer have the means to offer tribute to those numerous powerful Guest Officials. Without the protection of the strong, Brother Zhang would be able to devour the He family effortlessly."

Bao Xuanming stated indifferently.

After hearing this, the Saintess silently nodded, "This plan is good, as it not only allows us to devour the He family but also avoids drawing the attention of the Miracle Ridge."

"After all, Elixir King City is an extremely eye-catching city in the Lingdong Region. If anything were to happen to Elixir King City, the Miracle Ridge would definitely be the first to send experts to investigate."

"Being able to silently devour the He family is the best outcome."

The Saintess said softly.

Bao Xuanming said, "Yes, Your Highness the Saintess, but what I did not expect was that today, a sudden change occurred."

The Saintess asked, "What change?"

Bao Xuanming replied, "Today, for some unknown reason, a man and a woman suddenly arrived from the Miracle Ridge. The man is from the Sword Art Academy, and the woman is the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard!"

"After their arrival, they immediately recognized that the poison on the Patriarch of the He family was our sect’s Snake Heart Poison, and that disciple from the Sword Art Academy even listed the ingredients of the Life Extension Divine Pill without missing a single one!"

"Through his understanding of Elixir Pills, with his knowledge of sixth-grade pills, he instantly identified me as the mastermind behind this. If I hadn’t escaped in time, I might have fallen at the He family by now."

After listening, the Saintess was astonished, "He actually recognized the ingredients of the Life Extension Divine Pill? That’s impossible. The Life Extension Divine Pill is specifically used by the Five Poison Sect to suppress the Snake Heart Poison, and only the Guardian of the Sect Supreme knows the methods and formula. How could he possibly know?"

Bao Xuanming said, "Indeed, I am also puzzled. However, the ingredients he mentioned are indeed those used to refine the Life Extension Divine Pill!"

The Saint child asked, "How is this disciple from the Sword Art Academy more knowledgeable about Elixir Pills than the Chief Disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard?"

"What’s his name?"

The Saint child inquired.

Bao Xuanming replied, "He said his name was Lin Bai!"

Hiss!

"Lin Bai!"

Hearing these two words, the Saintess’s eyes widened in shock, and she immediately stood up from her chair.

However, the face of the Saint child remained calm, without too much fluctuation.

Zhang Pengyi asked curiously, "Your Highness the Saintess, do you know Lin Bai?"

The Saintess answered, "Hehe, the First Sword Cultivator of Lingdong, the number one on Tianding City’s Potential List, the number one in the Miracle Ridge examination, how could I not know him?"

"I didn’t expect him to actually come!"

The eyes of the Saintess flickered with a faint light.

At that moment, the Saint child added, "I remember Lin Bai also has the key to our Five Poison Sect’s Vermilion Bird Treasure Vault, right?"
