Should I just whip up some Weak Healing Potion and mix it with Four Happiness Dumplings?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he suspected the Elixir of Longevity was nothing more than the delusion of the previous Emperor, whose sanity had been too low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Fine-quality item doesn’t grant immortality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Majesty speaks wisely—where should I begin my search?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll go look, but give me a target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the perfect chance to make a scene and help complete my trial quest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Taiyi Academy,” Emperor Taichang said. “The two Elixirs were stored there by the late Emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I previously sent Li Provincial Military Commander to search—it yielded nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I trust you above all others—that’s why I’ve sent you,” Emperor Taichang said aloud, though Chu Danqing knew the truth: Li Wanwu was too useful as a blade to be sent on this risky errand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I shall not fail Your Majesty’s trust,” Chu Danqing replied at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he could find it was another matter—he’d agree first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous Emperor had gained power through the sorcery texts of Flesh Scholars; even if he truly left behind an “Elixir of Longevity,” it would certainly not be anything good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I give you three days to find it,” Emperor Taichang said, satisfied with Chu Danqing’s answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I shall present the Elixir of Longevity to Your Majesty within three days!” Chu Danqing puffed out his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured it didn’t exist—he hadn’t even received a mission from the Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he complete something that didn’t exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Paradise was generous—it never issued impossible tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After replying, he left immediately and learned the skill he’d obtained from Xu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Spiritual Clarity (Passive) LV.MAX: Summoned Familiar’s Spirit +1】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flood of knowledge surfaced in Chu Danqing’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Dabao—his Intelligence hadn’t changed, but he noticed a faint stir in the Blood Fury energy within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That stir was spreading and growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like another high-tier attribute,” Chu Danqing muttered. This passive skill had been learned at max level—no further upgrade possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Excellent-tier skill with no flaws naturally meant modest bonuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his quarters, Chu Danqing prepared to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been awake for a full day and night; even with his stats and skills, he still needed rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he opened the door, he saw Zhuo Bu Fan waiting anxiously—clearly, he’d sneaked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bad feeling settled in his gut—he suspected he wouldn’t sleep tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhuo Xiao-ge, what’s wrong?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Chu, you’re finally back!” Zhuo Bu Fan rose quickly. “My junior brother, Zhao Mingqian, is in trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t he leave the capital? How could anything happen to him?” Chu Danqing asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d left at the perfect time—avoiding every storm. How had he gotten caught?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a long story,” Zhuo Bu Fan said. “Please, Master Chu, you must save him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d encountered a group of lamas from the Susen Zanglong Sect after leaving the capital, clashed with them, and been captured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing listened, speechless: “Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure. Miss Yuan escaped and came to warn me—then collapsed.” Zhuo Bu Fan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was exhausted: first his father was in trouble, barely rescued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, before he could catch his breath, his junior brother was in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t rescue him himself—he was outmatched, so he’d come to beg Chu Danqing’s help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I’ll mobilize troops to suppress these lamas,” Chu Danqing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had authority—why go alone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the lamas were strong, could they match the Imperial Guard Feather Forest Army?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a small squad would suffice. Under a barrage of powerful bows and crossbows, they’d surrender—or be turned into sieves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Jade-Faced Rakshasa and Iron Palm Flying Dragon, working together, would die if they faced a fully armed elite Feather Forest unit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Bu Fan had been waiting for exactly this reply—that’s why he’d come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a man of the Jianghu, his father served in court—he knew the gulf between martial masters and armies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know where they are?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do. Please mobilize troops quickly—I’ll guide you,” Zhuo Bu Fan replied at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chu Danqing left with Zhuo Bu Fan to gather men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t mobilize many—only fifty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many would be hard to justify; he’d just started his shift, and the Feather Forest Army’s duty was palace defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending too many might invite accusations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fifty was enough—the Zanglong Sect lamas numbered only seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They marched swiftly; the Feather Forest troops breached the door and stormed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About three seconds later, screams and wails erupted from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minute passed—the noise ceased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Feather Forest troops dragged out four corpses and three badly wounded lamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuo Bu Fan rescued Zhao Mingqian, who remained unconscious. Chu Danqing had him drink a Weak Healing Potion and swallow two medicinal dumplings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Mingqian slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing ordered the Feather Forest troops to interrogate the captured lamas about their purpose in the Taichang realm, then turned to Zhao Mingqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Xiao-ge, how did you get caught by these lamas?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was luck,” Zhao Mingqian said, glancing at the lamas. “I hadn’t even left the capital yet—I was preparing rations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I overheard these seven lamas speaking of Li Provincial Military Commander.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We followed them and learned they were from Susen, here to find Li Wanwu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we heard they’d been ordered by Li Wanwu to retrieve the Red Pills from the Taiyi Academy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Yuan and I rushed ahead to the Taiyi Academy, took the Red Pills, and planned to deliver them to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But these seven lamas arrived just then. We fought, I was outmatched—I gave the pills to Yuan to carry off, and stayed behind to be captured.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Zhao Mingqian and Yuan Shanhu had never left the capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing had just learned from Emperor Taichang that the Elixir was in the Taiyi Academy—and Zhao Mingqian had already gotten there first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Chu, Li Wanwu is indeed colluding with Susen,” Zhao Mingqian said. “The Zanglong Sect is highly favored there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bad!” Zhuo Bu Fan suddenly said. “Master Chu, your troop mobilization must have alerted Li Wanwu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s too cunning—he’ll trace this back to my house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Red Pills…” Zhuo Bu Fan’s face paled. “They’re lost.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go see,” Chu Danqing said at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing ordered the Feather Forest troops to take the surviving lamas back for interrogation, then headed straight for Zhuo’s residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived too late—Yuan Shanhu’s room had been ransacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pouch containing the Red Pills was gone—clearly stolen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving Yuan Shanhu a Weak Healing Potion and two medicinal dumplings, she awoke and confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pills were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I smelled those pills—they’re no medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even a healthy person would wish they were dead after swallowing them. A weak person would die within a day,” Yuan Shanhu declared firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expertise in poison mist came from poison arts—she was highly skilled in medicine and toxins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Obvious enough for a court physician to detect?” Chu Danqing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The pill-maker is a master of both medicine and poison. The Taiyi Academy’s useless bunglers couldn’t tell,” Yuan Shanhu said. “Only a Sage of Medicine and a Master of Poison could uncover the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I only noticed something odd because of the martial arts my mother left me,” Yuan Shanhu meant: no, they couldn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Li Wanwu be planning to offer these Red Pills to the Emperor?” Zhuo Bu Fan’s face twisted in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why involve the Taiyi Academy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor is searching for these Red Pills—he believes they’re the late Emperor’s Elixir of Longevity,” Chu Danqing said, then laughed bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t an Elixir of Longevity—it was a death potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They haven’t gone far—we should chase them!” Zhao Mingqian rose to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Danqing stopped him: “No need—it’s too messy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Yuan understands poison—surely she knows some medicine?” Chu Danqing asked Yuan Shanhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know a little… what do you mean, Master Chu?” Yuan Shanhu didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make me a potion that looks and tastes the same, then shape it into red pills.” Chu Danqing smiled sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It doesn’t matter if someone steals the red pills—Chu Danqing can simply make another batch; whoever produces theirs first is the real one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember to make two pills, then soak each one in the liquid.” Chu Danqing pulled out a Minor Healing Potion and a Minor Energy Potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make sure both pills you shape fully absorb the potions in my hands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, everyone immediately understood Chu Danqing’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s too much trouble to retrieve them—just render Li Wanwu’s real red pills useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if the Emperor believes Li Wanwu?” Zhuo Bufen asked anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then let him stew in it.” Chu Danqing spread his hands: “I certainly can’t find the red pills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you take them?” Chu Danqing had no confidence he could retrieve the pills from the Secret Investigation Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows where they’ve hidden them? Better to wait and react—let Li Wanwu play the fool first, then kill him outright.
