Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

"It seems that the real production location of Lingbao Dan is in that valley." Su Liyan said solemnly.

Lu Yuan frowned: "Then the question is, why do so many cultivators flock to the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion to buy Lingbao Pills?"

"What makes them want this elixir so much?"

Su Liyan thought for a moment and said, "I think this may be related to the three major sects."

"They have always been eyeing Tianfeng City and have carefully planned it."

"And now that this mysterious drug has appeared that can improve cultivation, it is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for them."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "You are right."

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

Lu Yuan was sitting in the research room of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, analyzing the Lingbao Pill in his hand attentively.

Through his superb alchemy dividing skills, he carefully decomposed the ingredients of Lingbao Dan.

In the process, he noticed an extraordinary energy fluctuation, which was completely different from ordinary spiritual power.

"What kind of energy is this?"

Lu Yuan rubbed his forehead, with strong curiosity igniting in his heart.

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

For them, this mysterious drug that can improve their cultivation is undoubtedly a huge opportunity.

While thinking, Lu Yuan suddenly received an emergency message from Su Liyan.

The message read: "Zi Xi'er and others are gathering at Tianfeng City Square. Please come over immediately."

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

Lu Yuan frowned.

He rushed out of the research room with the message talisman. After walking through the familiar streets of Tianfeng City, Lu Yuan finally arrived at the square.

The square was crowded, and he found Su Liyan talking with Zi Xi'er and several other prominent people.

They looked nervous and anxious.

"Lu Yuan! You are finally here!"

When Su Liyan saw Lu Yuan, she quickly pulled him to a remote corner.

"what happened?"

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

Su Liyan's face was solemn, "Zi Xi'er may have inadvertently been involved in a major power struggle related to Lingbao Dan."

Lu Yuan's heart tightened, "What?"

"How did she get involved?"

Su Liyan took a deep breath, "I heard from Zi Xi'er that her sister Zi Cuiling is the patriarch of the Ziyun family."

"They have always been wary of Tianfeng City, and coincidentally left the family to go here."

"However, after the Lingbao Dan appeared in Tianfeng City, the Ziyun family received a letter."

Su Liyan continued to tell.

"The letter states that if the Ziyun family is willing to hand over the secret of Lingbao Dan's production, they will receive endless benefits."

"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."

Lu Yuan frowned, "This is clearly threatening the Ziyun family!"

Su Liyan nodded, "That's right."

"Moreover, Zi Xi'er heard that this big force seems to be related to the three major sects."

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

Lu Yuan said firmly.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's determined eyes and felt a little at ease in her heart.

"I'm sorry for making you worry." She said softly. Lu Yuan shook his head, "No need to apologize, we are a team."

The two held each other's hands tacitly and decided to take action together.

They need to figure out the possible conspiracy behind Lingbao Dan and take appropriate measures to deal with it.

An emergency meeting was held within the Leihuo Dan Pavilion regarding the expansion of the influence of Lingbao Dan.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether the energy fluctuations produced by the Lingbao Pill had an impact on Tianfeng City and surrounding areas.

As the person in charge of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, Lu Yuan must of course attend this meeting.

Zi Xi'er attended the meeting as the representative of the Ziyun family's patriarch. At the meeting, she proposed to organize a special group to conduct an in-depth investigation into Lingbao Dan.

She believes that it is very important to investigate the truth to prevent the entire Tianfeng City from falling into crisis.

She asked Lu Yuan to join the investigation team so that he could use his superb analytical skills to uncover the truth.

Lu Yuan felt conflicted after hearing Zi Xi'er's request.

He knows he has what it takes to help solve the mystery, but he also understands the risks that come with participating in such a dangerous investigation.

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

"Zi Xi'er, I understand that you want to unravel the possible conspiracy behind Lingbao Dan, but the forces involved in this matter are too huge, and we lack enough evidence and information to support the investigation."

"Moreover, we are unable to determine the true source and scope of influence of Lingbao Dan."

Zi Xi'er was silent for a moment and looked at Lu Yuan deeply.

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

"Lu Yuan, I understand your concerns."

"But if we don't get to the bottom of it, more people could be implicated."

"I hope you will think about it and reconsider joining the investigation team."

Lu Yuan was moved by Zi Xier's firm attitude.

He knew that he couldn't ignore Zi Xi'er and others.

"alright, I got it."

He eventually agreed to join the investigation team.

After the meeting, as night fell, Zi Xier met Su Liyan as she left the meeting hall.

The two of them walked home in silence.

"Su Liyan, why should I do this?"

"I'm actually not very willing to participate in this investigation." Lu Yuan said tiredly.

Su Liyan gently patted Lu Yuan's shoulder.

"Lu Yuan, although this investigation is indeed a challenge for us, we cannot sit idly by."

"Zi Xi'er and other innocent people need our help. We must face the difficulties together and find the truth behind Ling Bao Dan."

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

In the past month, Lu Yuan had not seen Zi Xi'er again. Both of them were focused on the research of Ling Bao Dan.

Lu Yuan spent the whole day in the alchemy room, constantly trying different formulas and immortal methods, hoping to find the secret of Lingbao Dan.

Hong Laitian led the disciples of the Ghost Sect to Fangshi to buy Lingbao Dan, but the store was crowded and the person in charge was hesitant.

In the end, the person in charge agreed to send a message to Lu Yuan and expressed to him the Ghost Sect's willingness to cooperate with the Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion.

Although Lu Yuan understood that the Ghost Sect had a high demand for Lingbao Dan, he still hesitated in his heart.

After returning to Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, Lu Yuan saw that the members of the team were anxiously waiting for his return.

Everyone is confused and helpless about the research progress of Lingbao Dan.

This news made Lu Yuan feel heavy, and he knew that this was a critical moment. (End of chapter)
