Chapter 517: The Truth Revealed!

Xu Qing was silent.

For a long time, he raised his head, the turmoil in his heart turning into waves in his mind, rolling continuously, one after another.

"Prefecture Overseer..." Xu Qing muttered softly.

He didn't have much contact with the Prefecture Overseer, but in truth, in the bottom of Xu Qing's heart, he respected the Prefecture Overseer very much.

This stemmed from the other party's alchemy and the scholarly aura on him, similar to Master Bai and the Great Elder of the Sword-Holding Court.

Xu Qing still clearly remembered, when he first came to the Prefecture Capital, the other party's gentle tone and appearance in the Sword-Holding Palace, and the great merit of the plain elixir that Deacon Sun spoke of.

Until the war began, the other party's weary expression was also seen by Xu Qing many times.

He also recalled the scene where he faced the Immortal-Near Clan and the other party arrived to tacitly dig a pit with him.

Although after the Seventh Imperial Prince descended, the Prefecture Overseer integrated into it very smoothly, this couldn't explain anything.

Many subsequent matters beneficial to Fenghai Prefecture were initiated by the Prefecture Overseer, who, together with the Vice Palace Masters of the three palaces, petitioned the Seventh Imperial Prince many times to win them.

The front line couldn't have held on for so long without the Prefecture Overseer's merit.

"And the method of poisoning..."

Xu Qing muttered, turning all the clues he had obtained into a train of thought in his mind, straightening them out one by one.

But I still don't know who to report that matter to.

And Xu Qing might have been investigating this matter after perfecting the Secret Scroll Fourteen, but unfortunately, I am ultimately not omniscient and omnipotent, and time was running out; the Prefecture Overseer died, and the war arrived.

Xu Qing silently raised his head, looking at the Prefecture Capital city in the black night outside.

"The Prefecture Overseer, it could be the Palace Master, or it could be Night Dove."

But it just so happened... no one could see the truth from it.

Xu Qing muttered, but halfway through his words, he stopped.

"Using the harmless and cheap plain elixir as a carrier, integrating the power of the Light-Life Tribulation into it, allowing hundreds of millions of human beings to eat it continuously over the years, thereby changing our luck and changing the Prefecture Overseer's nutrients."

"Why would the Prefecture Overseer do this? I and Candlelight..."

Especially during the war, the Prefecture Overseer didn't have any procrastination, devoting himself wholeheartedly to the front-line war, making countless mortals trust him and becoming the backbone.

The Prefecture Overseer has been mocking everyone in the Chu Tianqun all along!

Xu Qing sighed softly, pushed open the door of the Sword Pavilion, stood at the doorway, and looked at the world in the black night.

"Actually, if you replace the seven-character herb that the Prefecture Overseer said during class with the Prefecture Overseer, everything... would be logical."

"But to use the Light-Life Tribulation Elixir, first you need a ray of Morning Glow, which is also the reason why Xu Qing asked you to investigate. Secondly, it's not the method of poisoning."

That matter was too big, so I couldn't make a rash decision, but instead treated this matter as a clue and added it to my own analysis.

"The reason why the white jade hand appeared in the Forbidden Immortal Land is because that was originally a transaction..."

The mission at that time was that a dark agent of the Sheng Lan Clan discovered a huge secret, so he fled back.

And the refining method was very peculiar; with Xu Qing's understanding of the Dao of Elixirs, he couldn't analyze it either.

Then, Xu Qing thought of the little girl of Ding Yi 87; the other party was transformed from a wisp of luck of the Chu Tianqun, and it was precisely after the wish box was retrieved that it appeared in a withered state.

"So all signs point to the Light-Life Tribulation Elixir."

Like when Xu Qing just returned, the matter of the joint crusade of the tribes that he had ordered was suppressed by the Prefecture Overseer alone.

The truth, Xu Qing understood.

At that moment, it seemed as if a large hand appeared in my mind, quickly brushing away all the fog, making the content that the other party taught our group of newly promoted Sword-Holders when I first saw the Prefecture Overseer appear turbidly under the fog.

Xu Qing said in a heavy voice.

Such a person with great merit.

Associating with the practices before the arrival of the First Imperial Prince, it is not difficult to see that the seven of us were clearly cooperating with each other.

Xu Qing's body trembled slightly, and the turmoil in his mind grew larger and larger.

For ease of understanding, there are two ways:

"It was me who poisoned the Prefecture Overseer to death."

That matter was too big, so big that before Xu Qing realized all of that, at the moment the truth was revealed, what arose was not only lack of clarity, but also heart palpitations.

In the end, I could only trust everyone.

"The color of the ocean is easy to change according to the Prefecture Overseer's method; just change the color of the thousands of rivers flowing into the sea, and so quickly, the ocean can be changed in color unknowingly."

"Actually, the death of Fenghai Prefecture told you the answer."

"It wasn't the Prefecture Overseer who changed the Prefecture Overseer's state, but the Prefecture Overseer's own power that changed his own state. What the Prefecture Overseer did was just create an environment and nutrients that guided his direction."

Like the sun at high noon.

Xu Qing looked down at the plain elixir powder that had fallen to the ground, took out the last plain elixir in the elixir bottle, and held it in his hand to observe carefully.

Xu Qing's eyes froze; I thought of that key point.

"To change the state of a herb, you don't need to be drastic; you also need to go through Yin-Yang harmonization before picking and transforming. In my opinion, what is needed is to moisten things silently."

Many herbs inside seem not to be matched, but formed after their medicinal power was changed.

Xu Qing's scalp went numb.

"That is the answer."

Xu Qing's breathing was rapid; that train of thought was logical, and everything was completely clear at that moment.

Such a person who, after the war came to an end and the First Imperial Prince took charge, still fought for advantages for the Chu Tianqun many times.

Regarding the plain elixir, Xu Qing had once studied it before. At that time, my conclusion was that this elixir indeed surpassed the white elixir in the effect of dispelling foreign substances.

The person who asked me to investigate all that had not yet fallen.

Its appearance made the dawn of that day break much faster than usual.

"Such a method..."

For a long time, in the distant horizon, a piece of light appeared, extremely dim, illuminating the firmament.

Once, inside this empty wish box, there was not a Light-Life Tribulation Elixir. Because it had been stored in the wish box for too long, even though the Life Tribulation Elixir had been taken out for many years, the scent like osmanthus still remained and had not completely evaporated.

The former Xu Qing, no matter how he listened to that sentence, what arose in his heart was admiration; he respected the Prefecture Overseer who could think of that method very much.

In Xu Qing's heart, millions and millions of heavenly thunders were exploding continuously. In my mind, the Prefecture Overseer's gaze toward everyone during class appeared.

You told them the answer, told everyone the answer, but they... why haven't they discovered it yet?

"Let the Prefecture Overseer absorb it slowly without knowing, and influence him from the inside."

"Unknowingly, he went to change the environment it was in, went to change the nutrients it needed, letting it absorb it slowly without knowing, and influencing it from the inside."

At this moment, saying that I am the culprit of everything, Xu Qing felt a bit unreal.

"To poison the Prefecture Overseer, you don't need to be drastic; what is needed is to moisten things silently."

The scent appeared outside the plain elixir.

After that, I didn't see any signs that the Prefecture Overseer had no problems, nor did I obtain any evidence.

"Without the Prefecture Overseer noticing, go and change the nutrients he needs... Nutrients, combined with the principle of the Light-Life Tribulation, isn't this luck?"

"So, the Prefecture Overseer didn't directly poison the Prefecture Overseer; he treated the Prefecture Overseer as a herb. The object he poisoned... was all the human beings in the Prefecture Capital territory, and also the environment where the herb was located!"

At that time, it didn't look irritable. Recalling it now, in this irritability, there was mockery hidden, and it even carried playfulness, as if to him, that was just a guessing game.

"When he knew how to change the color of the ocean, he understood everything."

Afterward, the Prefecture Overseer fell, the Criminal Prison Division collapsed, and the little girl went missing.

You also have no way...

And the Prefecture Overseer at this moment is Xu Qing's only backbone. All the old people in the Chu Tianqun took me as the leader, and combined with the great merit of his plain elixir, he could be valued by the Imperial Prince above and win the hearts of the people below.

The old men of the group all take me as their leader, and with the great merit of the Su Dan, it cannot be said that I have gained the favor of the Imperial Prince above, or the hearts of the common people below.

But looking at these words now, a shocking thunderbolt rumbled across Xu Qing's mind.

Like the rules and protection exchanged after the Sword-Holding Palace war, it was also the Prefecture Overseer who discussed with the Seventh Imperial Prince many times to fight for the Sword-Holders.

"The mysterious white-clothed person who appeared on the battlefield that day, I am not Marquis Yao, I am the Prefecture Overseer."

That point, Xu Qing had discussed with Kong Xianglong before. I really couldn't think of any method that could make the Prefecture Overseer, who had reached the Half-Step Profound Realm under the blessing of luck, unable to notice and thus be poisoned.

Especially when I thought that countless human beings all believed that the plain elixir was the Prefecture Overseer's great merit, and the Prefecture Overseer had already told the world all the answers openly and aboveboard.

It's clear, everything is clear.

"That is to use the luck of the human beings in the Prefecture Capital territory to change and influence the Prefecture Overseer, thereby achieving the goal of poisoning."

"The second highest said, it's not that you changed its state, but that its own power changed its own state. What you did was just create an environment and nutrients that guided its direction."

Thus, there was Secret Scroll Fourteen, providing a basis for Xu Qing to determine the Prefecture Overseer's death method later.

And as the firmament brightened, the earth also sent out ripples, carrying warmth.

Because the other party indeed successfully improved the white elixir, and with that method, created the plain elixir that benefited the people of the Prefecture Capital.

At that time, Xu Qing's feeling was that the other party was sick, and there were some dirty things in his body.

"Without the Prefecture Overseer noticing, go and change the environment he is in... Environment, the second highest human beings in the Prefecture Capital."

The plain elixir is a monstrous lie!

Afterward, I recalled the content of Xu Qing's jade slip, and also recalled the results of my investigation at Zhaoxia Mountain.

"Because there are too many ways to make the powerful Prefecture Overseer die silently, unless it is a Profound Realm level move, but if that were really the case, there would be no need for that war."

That was the Prefecture Overseer's original words at the time.

Xu Qing always remembered a sentence that Fenghai Prefecture told me when I asked about the whereabouts of the Palace Master and Night Dove on his deathbed.

Many things have the Prefecture Overseer's shadow.

"Morning Glow, you found the clue, proving that there was indeed one that was not recorded. That piece of evidence made the Light-Life Tribulation Elixir possible to be used."

"Xuan Zhan Human Emperor, ten hours later, in the White Clan territory, raised the Domain Treasure belonging to your human race!"

Xu Qing thought this was because of the collapse of the Criminal Prison Division, which caused the impact and made it dissipate, but looking at it now, it is not so!

Looking at it now, the real dark agent should have fallen. Only we, Xu Qing, got that wish box from the hands of the dark agent's descendants for many years.

At the same time, all cultivators in Xu Qing's group received a notice from the Prefecture Overseer at that moment.

And he could be trusted by the Palace Master to stay in the Prefecture Capital, which shows that although the Palace Master also had some doubts, he still trusted him more by instinct.

Xu Qing was silent, suppressing the various turmoils in his heart.

That is the Prefecture Overseer's unique Dao of Medicine method, by changing the internal environment of the herbs, letting it be changed and influenced unknowingly, turning it into the effect he needed.

It's just that the little girl recovered quickly, so Xu Qing didn't think much about it. With the information I grasped at the time, it was also difficult to think too much.

"According to the records of Secret Scroll Fourteen, this empty wish box once held a Light-Life Tribulation Elixir. Xu Qing knew this, which is why I locked onto this elixir as the cause after the Prefecture Overseer fell."

Such a person who protected the rear during the war. ===== CHAPTER 518 =====
