The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 47 The Spiritual Turtle Liquid smeared on the Jade Pendant

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 searching, the Sect Leader agreed that, since the incident occurred after our Treasure Exchange Gathering, we should lend a helping hand."

"You two will lead the team to Little Spirit Peak for this search mission," Mo Xingjian said, pulling out a map and pointing to a red-circled area on it.

"This is your designated search area; the other areas are assigned to different peaks. Remember, proceed with caution. If my guess is correct, with so many disciples of the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect in trouble, it’s likely that certain factions are involved."

Mo Xingjian reiterated with a worried expression.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu understood perfectly whom their master was referring to.

"Select trustworthy people to go with you. Keep in mind, this matter is of utmost importance. If you encounter danger, prioritize your safety above all else. Do not act recklessly."

Mo Xingjian looked at the two troublesome disciples in front of him, feeling a mix of emotions.

The eldest is meticulous, powerful, and decisive in battle, but sadly, he’s still in seclusion.

The second is dedicated to cautious cultivation and has not returned since going out.

If either of these two were to handle the mission, he wouldn’t be worried. But these two unreliable ones in front of him, they’re always causing trouble.

Unfortunately, apart from them, there is no one else available from Little Spirit Peak.

Oh well, take it as a training opportunity.

"Master, don’t worry. Leave it to me and Old Four!"

Yan Xiaohu was overjoyed at the chance to go out, immediately patting his chest with confidence.

Mo Xingjian sighed lightly, "Your words make me even more uneasy. In any case, be careful."

After a few more reminders to his beloved disciples, Mo Xingjian hurriedly left.

If those certain factions really are preparing to act, intending to reshuffle the power dynamics, the Taiqing Sect cannot avoid being swept into it.

This matter requires early preparation.

Soon after, Zhou Qing, with his old hen, and the third senior brother led some true disciples and set off.

Less than two hours later, Lu Yaoyao excitedly arrived by sword control, eager to share her joy with Zhou Qing.

"Gone? So soon?" Finding out that Zhou Qing had already left, Lu Yaoyao looked disheartened.

Soon, Li Daoxuan also arrived.

"Junior sister, Master said that you’ve just broken through and need to consolidate your cultivation. You mustn’t wander off," Li Daoxuan said as he approached.

Lu Yaoyao seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Senior brother, why don’t we go out to search as well? I’m so close to Xuan You sister, now that her disciples are in trouble, how can I not contribute?"

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?"
