Chapter 711: with translation of chapter title

711. Chapter 709 The three major sects are suspicious.

"It seems the true production site of the Spirit Treasure Pill is in that valley." Su Liyan said solemnly.

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows: "Then the question arises, why are so many cultivators flocking to Lei Huo Dan Ge to buy the Spirit Treasure Pill?"

"What is it that makes them so eager for this pill?"

Su Liyan pondered for a moment, then said: "I think this might be related to the three major sects."

"They have always eyed Heavenly Wind City covetously, laying careful plans."

"And now this mysterious medicine that can enhance cultivation has appeared; for them it is undoubtedly a huge opportunity."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "You're absolutely right."

"I think we must investigate the truth as soon as possible and take appropriate measures."

Lu Yuan sat in the research room of Lei Huo Dan Ge, intently analyzing the Spirit Treasure Pill in his hand.

Through his superb pill-splitting skill, he meticulously decomposed the components of the Spirit Treasure Pill.

In this process, he sensed an extraordinary energy fluctuation, utterly different from ordinary spiritual power.

"What exactly is this energy?"

Lu Yuan rubbed his forehead, a strong curiosity welling up in his heart.

He speculated that the source of this energy might be related to the three major sects.

For them, this mysterious medicine that can enhance cultivation is undoubtedly a huge opportunity.

While he was thinking, Lu Yuan suddenly received an urgent talisman message from Su Liyan.

The message read: "Zi Xi'er and others are gathering at Heavenly Wind City's plaza; please come immediately."

"Zi Xi'er? Why is she in the plaza?"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows.

Holding the talisman, he rushed out of the research room; after swiftly crossing the familiar streets of Heavenly Wind City, Lu Yuan finally arrived at the plaza.

The plaza was crowded with heads; he saw Su Liyan conversing with Zi Xi'er and several other prominent figures.

They looked tense and anxious.

"Lu Yuan! You've finally come!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan, Su Liyan hurriedly pulled him to a secluded corner.

"What's wrong?"

"Why are so many people gathered here?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Su Liyan's face grew grave: "Zi Xi'er may have inadvertently been drawn into a major power struggle related to the Spirit Treasure Pill."

Lu Yuan's heart tightened: "What?"

"How could she be drawn into it?"

Su Liyan took a deep breath: "According to Zi Xi'er, her elder sister Zi Cui Ling is the clan leader of the Ziyun Clan."

"They have always been vigilant toward Heavenly Wind City, and coincidentally left the clan to come here."

"But when Heavenly Wind City saw the appearance of the Spirit Treasure Pill, the Ziyun Clan received a letter."

Su Liyan continued her narration.

"The letter said that if the Ziyun Clan were willing to hand over the production secret of the Spirit Treasure Pill, they would receive endless benefits."

"Otherwise, they would bear the consequences themselves."

Lu Yuan's brows knotted tightly: "This is clearly a threat to the Ziyun Clan!"

Su Liyan nodded: "Exactly so."

"Moreover, Zi Xi'er heard that this great power seems to be connected to the three major sects."

"We must uncover the truth and protect Zi Xi'er well."

Lu Yuan said firmly.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's resolute gaze, feeling a hint of reassurance in her heart.

"Sorry for making you worry." She said softly.

Lu Yuan shook his head: "No need to apologize; we are a united team."

The two tacitly clasped hands, then decided to join forces and take action.

They needed to uncover any possible conspiracy hidden behind the Spirit Treasure Pill and take appropriate measures to respond.

An emergency meeting was held inside Lei Huo Dan Ge concerning the issue of the expanding influence of the Spirit Treasure Pill.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether the energy fluctuations produced by the Spirit Treasure Pill had affected Heavenly Wind City and the surrounding areas.

As the person in charge of Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan naturally had to attend this meeting.

Zi Xi'er attended the meeting as the representative of the Ziyun Clan's clan leader, and she proposed forming a special team to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Spirit Treasure Pill.

She believed that investigating the truth was crucial, lest Heavenly Wind City fall into crisis.

She asked Lu Yuan to join the investigation team so she could make use of his superb analytical skills to uncover the truth.

Upon hearing Zi Xi'er's request, Lu Yuan felt conflicted in his heart.

He knew he had the ability to help solve the mystery, but he also realized that participating in such a dangerous investigation could entail great risk.

After careful consideration, he politely refused Zi Xi'er's request.

"Zi Xi'er, I understand you want to uncover any possible conspiracy behind the Spirit Treasure Pill, but the forces involved are too vast; we lack sufficient evidence and information to support an investigation."

"Moreover, we cannot determine the true source and extent of influence of the Spirit Treasure Pill."

Zi Xi'er fell silent for a moment, then gave Lu Yuan a deep look.

She knew Lu Yuan was a smart and responsible person, but she harbored an immense desire to solve this mystery.

"Lu Yuan, I understand your concerns."

But if we don't investigate the truth, then more people could be implicated.

I hope you will consider it and reconsider joining the investigation team.

Lu Yuan was moved by Zi Xi'er's resolute attitude.

He knew he could not ignore Zi Xi'er and the others.

"Alright, I understand."

He finally agreed to join the investigation team.

After the meeting ended, as night fell, Zi Xi'er encountered Su Liyan when she left the conference hall.

The two walked home in silence.

"Su Liyan, why am I doing this?"

"Actually, I'm not really willing to participate in this investigation work," Lu Yuan said wearily.

Su Liyan lightly patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder.

"Lu Yuan, although this investigation is indeed a challenge for us, we cannot stand by and do nothing."

"Zi Xi'er and other innocent people need our help. We must face the difficulties together and uncover the truth behind the Spirit Treasure Pill."

Lu Yuan nodded silently, deciding in his heart to do his best to complete this investigation task.

In the past month, Lu Yuan had not seen Zi Xi'er again, and both were focused on researching the Spirit Treasure Pill.

Lu Yuan spent the whole day in the Pill Refining Room, constantly trying different formulas and immortal arts, hoping to find the secret of the Spirit Treasure Pill.

Hong Lietian led the Youhun Sect disciples to the Market Town to purchase the Spirit Treasure Pill, but the shop was crowded and the person in charge hesitated.

Finally, the person in charge agreed to pass on the message to Lu Yuan and expressed the Youhun Sect's willingness to cooperate with the Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Although Lu Yuan understood that the Youhun Sect's demand for the Spirit Treasure Pill was high, he still hesitated inside.

After returning to the Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan saw that the team members were anxiously waiting for his return.

Everyone felt confused and helpless about the progress of the Spirit Treasure Pill research.

This news made Lu Yuan feel heavy; he deeply knew that now was a critical moment. (End of Chapter)
