Eternal Life Starts from Tai Chi-Chapter 98: The Cyan Yuan Sect’s Arrangements

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The Cyan Yuan Sect’s Arrangements

Cyan Yuan Sect.

Cyan Jade Hall.

"Sect Leader, we should send a few more Elders this time!"

"Just Elder Gu and his two companions might not be enough to handle the No-Life Evil Cult directly. After all, Elder Lü already sent word back that the No-Life Evil Cult has experts from the fallen Profound Yin Demon Sect among its ranks, and there might be someone else pulling the strings from behind."

Han Zhengcheng, the Hall Master of the Instructor Hall, spoke with a serious expression, feeling that the power behind the No-Life Evil Cult was far from simple.

They even have people from the already-destroyed Profound Yin Demon Sect. This might just be the tip of the iceberg. After all, back in Yu State, no one in the No-Life Evil Cult was seen using any Profound Yin Demon Sect Cultivation Techniques.

"The Profound Yin Demon Sect has been destroyed, so their Cultivation Techniques were likely stolen. It’s hard to say who is backing the No-Life Evil Cult, but we can’t afford to underestimate them. It’s safer to send more people."

Qi Yuansheng, the Hall Master of the Artifact Refining Hall, also took this matter very seriously.

Although he had a rather poor relationship with the Medicine Hall Master, Gu An, he was not careless when it came to the affairs of the Cyan Yuan Sect.

"Everything regarding the No-Life Evil Cult in Tan City has been arranged. There is no need for you Elders to worry so much. This time, we will definitely resolve the problem of the No-Life Evil Cult."

Sect Leader Liu Xuan was very confident, but he didn’t elaborate on his arrangements.

"The No-Life Evil Cult is making moves against various states simultaneously. I have already contacted the other powers to deal with the No-Life Evil Cult together and completely annihilate this force that has sprung up out of nowhere."

Liu Xuan continued, dropping a piece of news that was both unexpected and yet perfectly logical.

The No-Life Evil Cult’s audacity was bound to provoke hostility from multiple factions. It was only a matter of time before they joined forces to deal with the Evil Cult.

This was because the No-Life Evil Cult was now infringing on the interests of many parties and had become a threat to numerous powers. Such a threat, naturally, had to be stamped out directly. It was just like how the Cyan Yuan Sect had dealt with the Three Major Sects before—their attitude was resolute, and their actions were decisive.

"As long as the Sect Leader has made arrangements, that’s all that matters."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhengcheng, the Hall Master of the Instructor Hall, could discern from Liu Xuan’s attitude that arrangements had indeed been made, so he wouldn’t worry excessively.

Since Liu Xuan didn’t specify the details, Han Zhengcheng didn’t press for them. This was a kind of tacit understanding between them.

"Sect Leader, regarding the deployment of Pharmacists for the mission, I intend to swap one person out."

Gu An, the Hall Master of the Spirit Medicine Hall, suddenly spoke up, but his topic concerned the mission assignments.

"You want to swap out Yang Chan and have him stay in the Cyan Yuan Sect, don’t you?"

"I’ve investigated him. His talent as a Pharmacist is outstanding. He can already refine the Lantian Jade Refining Pill, and its efficacy is quite good. His potential is immense; he should be able to become an Intermediate Pharmacist in just a few years."

As soon as the Medicine Hall Master, Gu An, spoke, Sect Leader Liu Xuan guessed who he wanted to replace and thus directly brought up information about Yang Chan. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Sect Leader, since you know of Yang Chan’s talent, why insist on him going on the mission? Although I’m confident about this mission, a Pharmacist like Yang Chan might not survive."

"The No-Life Evil Cult’s methods are too sinister and vicious. They specifically target Pharmacists, Pharmacist’s Assistants, and the like. One Pharmacist and six Pharmacist’s Assistants have already died on previous missions. If Yang Chan goes, he could be among the next to die."

After hearing Sect Leader Liu Xuan’s words, Gu An wore a bewildered expression.

Yang Chan’s demonstrated talent as a Pharmacist was more than enough for the Cyan Yuan Sect to invest in his development. After all, an Intermediate Pharmacist would be a huge asset to the Sect.

The Cyan Yuan Sect only had ten Intermediate Pharmacists, fewer than the number of Inner Refining Elders, and most of them were already quite old.

Yang Chan, on the other hand, was not very old. He would likely become an Intermediate Pharmacist while still in his prime and had a high chance of reaching the level of Advanced Pharmacist. The Cyan Yuan Sect only had two Advanced Pharmacists, and neither had much of their Lifespan left.

Therefore, he couldn’t understand Liu Xuan’s decision.

"Sending Yang Chan on the mission was something Elder Lü specifically requested before he left. He has some suspicions about Yang Chan’s identity, which is why he arranged for him to take part in the Tan City affair. It’s an opportunity to observe him closely outside the Sect."

"After all, you should be well aware of how much damage a genius like him could cause if he were a plant from a rival Sect. That’s why he must go on this mission."

Sect Leader Liu Xuan explained the reasoning.

In truth, Lü Zhenghai had already investigated him within the Cyan Yuan Sect, but he had a vague feeling that something was still amiss, which led to this arrangement.

Sect Leader Liu Xuan had also investigated but found nothing.

"Does this mean the investigation found a problem with Yang Chan’s identity?"

Gu An asked with a frown. As the Hall Master of the Medicine Hall, he had naturally investigated the people in his hall, including Yang Chan, and had never found any issues.

"No, but as the Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Elder Lü proposed one more test, so we’ll give it a try. This is to prevent future problems. When you lead the group on this mission, just assign a few more experts to protect Yang Chan. That should be sufficient."

"The Cyan Yuan Sect needs genius Pharmacists, but what it needs even more are genius Pharmacists without any hidden issues."

Sect Leader Liu Xuan continued, making his stance clear: the decision to send Yang Chan on the mission would not be changed.

The incident with the Three Major Sects had put all the upper echelons of the Cyan Yuan Sect on high alert. Fortunately, the Three Major Sects hadn’t infiltrated too deeply, or the damage could have been much greater. Therefore, such things had to be prevented from ever happening again.

Anyone whose status was elevated would be thoroughly investigated by the Cyan Yuan Sect to prevent a repeat of such an incident.

Figures like Intermediate and Advanced Pharmacists held significant weight within the Cyan Yuan Sect and were privy to many of its secrets. Naturally, their promotions could only be arranged after confirming they were completely trustworthy.

This was also because Yang Chan and others like him had not grown up within the Cyan Yuan Sect. Before joining, it was possible they had come into contact with people from other Sects and become their sleeper agents.

Thus, these measures were intended to uncover such things.

For example, by sending Yang Chan on the mission, if he was a sleeper agent, he would surely try to send out intelligence or other information, and then they would know if there was a problem.

Back when they were dealing with the Three Major Sects, after Yang Chan came to Lü Zhenghai’s attention, he had arranged for him to be monitored, but nothing was found.

After all, for someone who had only just comprehended Power to be able to eavesdrop on a conversation between External Refining Iron Bone Experts was, in Lü Zhenghai’s eyes, somewhat suspicious—enough to warrant his doubt.

"Alright, I have no problem with that. I will also arrange for people on my end to investigate Yang Chan."

Gu An’s brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this, but he continued.

He valued Yang Chan’s talent as a Pharmacist, but if there was a problem with his identity, then that was another matter entirely. After all, the Cyan Yuan Sect had no desire to harbor a festering tumor. That wouldn’t be strengthening the Sect’s foundation; it would be setting a trap for it—one that could collapse at any moment and harm the people of the Cyan Yuan Sect.

"Mm, it’s good that you’ll make arrangements on your end."

Sect Leader Liu Xuan nodded in response.

Although his own investigation had led him to believe Yang Chan was clean, having another look was still a good thing for the Cyan Yuan Sect.
