The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 726 - 242: I, Zhou Qing, Swear to Heaven—I’m Definitely Not Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown

"But afterwards, he inexplicably recovered, not only re-forming his Condensing Pill but advancing his cultivation rapidly."

"According to his master Mo Xingjian, it was in a secret realm where he unexpectedly obtained a miracle elixir that helped him re-form the Condensing Pill."

"But let's consider a different perspective; how could such a magical elixir exist in the world that allows someone with a shattered Golden Core to recover without any side effects?"

Hearing this, Ji Xuan suddenly thought of something and said, "The Double Pill of Yin Yang Qi?"

The others' eyes lit up at once.

If that's the case, it seems everything could be explained.

From the shattering of the Golden Core to re-forming the Condensing Pill, then breaking through to the Nascent Soul, and now returning to the Divinity Transformation realm, it all took less than twenty years.

Such a terrifying speed of progression is extremely rare in the entire cultivation world and wouldn't be possible without a special opportunity.

"During the Five Sects War, you've heard of this child's performance. He even sneaked into the sect with his third senior brother back then, rescued Yuan Ya, and informed us of reinforcements behind!" Yun Jing continued.

The hearts of the other three pounded.

The more they thought now, the more they believed it to be true.

Up till now, they had always focused on the Ghost Mastiff and neglected him.

"Alright, I'll make a trip to the Vast Mansion to inquire about his detailed situation in the past few years. After all, one's past experiences can often reveal their true identity and opportunities."

After thinking it over, Yun Jing said directly.

The other three exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, but this matter must be handled with utmost caution.

"Once the Sect Leader recovers sufficiently, under the guise of arranging a marriage union, I can take a trip to the Taiqing Sect to probe into Zhou Qing's background!"

Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning as she spoke.

After a brief contemplation, Tong Po and Liezhen said, "This could be a way, but who would the marriage union involve?"

Ji Xuan smiled and said, "Of course, it's Zhu He, that girl."

The few of them suddenly realized.

...

One year later

Li Bin looked around, making sure no one was around, then with a cautious look in his eyes, dove down into a mountain range.

After seeing a marked stone, he flashed forward several times.

Soon, in a tranquil valley, he saw a familiar figure.

"Greetings, Ancestor!" Li Bin quickly bowed.

Ji Xuan slowly turned around, looking Li Bin up and down, and said, "Shadow Snake, I'd like to ask you for a favor this time."

"Ancestor jests. If there's anything, please feel free to command. The word 'please' is unnecessary." Li Bin quickly replied.

Ji Xuan nodded in satisfaction at his response, with a faint smile appearing on her face.

"You are not like those in the Peak Master circle of the Taiqing Sect. It is the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect that has been secretly providing you with resources, helping you advance step by step to Divinity Transformation, even to the position you hold today!" Ji Xuan said.

Li Bin immediately knelt on one knee and said, "I will never forget the life-saving and nurturing grace of the sect."

Ji Xuan quickly helped him up, a warm smile appearing on her face.

She said softly, "I haven't said much; your crucial intelligence contributions to the sect over the years have not gone unnoticed."

"However, the Taiqing Sect now conducts very strict inspections, and many spies that the various sects have planted within have been unearthed and removed one by one. To avoid exposing you, we have not been in contact for years."

Ji Xuan sighed lightly, a hint of concern flashing in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Bin's eyes were full of gratitude, but deep down, there was a hint of guilt hidden.

If they could continue avoiding contact, that would be best.

He really wanted to forget the past at times.

In the Taiqing Sect, he lived cautiously, not daring to indulge in gatherings or drinks with the Peak Masters, for fear that in a careless moment, he might inadvertently spill secrets he shouldn't reveal.

Countless days and nights, he only felt slightly fulfilled by keeping himself busy, able to temporarily forget certain things.

"Ancestor, what exactly is the task this time?" After a brief pause, Li Bin suppressed the complex emotions in his heart and asked.

Ji Xuan's eyes glimmered as she said calmly, "Bring Zhou Qing out."

"Junior Sect Leader... no, why bring him out?" Li Bin's heart suddenly sank, a sense of foreboding rising as he hurriedly asked.

Seeing this, Ji Xuan's lips slightly curved, letting out a soft chuckle and said, "The fact that you instinctively call that child 'Junior Sect Leader' shows that everyone in the Taiqing Sect truly respects him."

Li Bin was slightly taken aback, then awkwardly smiled, hastily explaining, "Everyone calls him that; if I were to call him by name directly, it would be too abrupt."

Ji Xuan waved her hand, her expression returning to calm, "There is no need to explain, we all understand. This time, it's to ask him for a favor."

"What favor? Can't it be done normally with... I'm sorry!"

Seeing the displeased look on Ji Xuan's face and the flash of coldness in her eyes, Li Bin quickly realized he had spoken too much, hurriedly bowing to apologize.

Only then did Ji Xuan's expression soften a bit, and she slowly said, "This matter involves secrets of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect. After the help, we must erase his related memories."

"Directly requesting help, if known by Cao Zhengyang or Mo Xingjian and others, cannot be explained and must not be known to them."

Li Bin couldn't help but become vigilant.

Whether it's Soul Search or memory erasure, it's a significant harm to the Divine Sense of any Divinity Transformation realm expert.

Cao Zhengyang, as the sect leader of Taiqing Sect, is exceptionally strategic and highly values the safety and secrets of the sect.

Mo Xingjian, as Zhou Qing's master, is highly protective.
