Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

“This is…” Zhuo Hua looked at the familiar cloth and tried to search something about it in his memory, but he failed.

“It belongs to Elder Qing Dan.” Nan Chen recognized it at a glance. Every sect had their own unique pattern. This piece of torn cloth had a corner of the totem of the Muyang Temple. It couldn’t be seen without careful observation. Only Elder Qing Dan possessed clothes of this pattern.

“How could the fragment of Elder Qing Dan’s clothes appear in the Fog Forest outside the Ghost?” Kaka was puzzled. Did this have anything to do with Li’s disappearance?

“Elder Qing Dan might not be as simple as we think.” Nan Chen couldn’t help recalling that Qing Dan gave him the pill to escape from Zhuo Hua in his past life. Although he didn’t know what the effect of the pill was, it did buy him some time.

Nan Chen thought of the mysterious person who put a pill in his room after Zhuo Hua died in Hexian Village. With the help of the pill, he could see everything that Zhuo Hua had experienced. At that time, he only saw a corner of the clothes that disappeared from the window. Now he thought back and found the clothes were similar to this piece of cloth.

During the decades in the modern era, and the days after returning to Cultivation World, things took place one after another, he didn’t have time to investigate on the person who gave him the pills.

It seemed that it was Elder Qing Dan.

If it was Elder Qing Dan, he would not pursue the reason why he gave him the pill in his past life. Nan Chen wondered why he secretly gave him the pill in this life. What was his purpose? Who was he? Why did he seem to know everything?

“If it is Elder Qing Dan, where will he take Li?” In Zhuo Hua’s memory, Elder Qing Dan had always been in the sect and had never been anywhere. He usually made pills in the sect and he had not seen anyone.

“I don’t know this for the time being. Let’s go to Pill Peak to take a look,” Nan Chen suggested. He didn’t know if Elder Qing Dan was a threat to Li.

Zhuo Hua came to Chaos Peak and explained everything to Qing Yangzi, who was surprised. This Elder usually didn’t interact with others, and people in the sect had thought that this was a common hobby of alchemists. After all, the people in the Alchemist Sect also looked cold and distant.

As they had no other clues, they had to go to the Pill Peak to take a look. They got to the Pill Peak, which looked even quieter than the Bamboo Peak. On the way, there were disciples sweeping the path. When they saw Zhuo Hua and Qing Yangzi, they greeted them respectfully.

They went to Elder Qing Dan’s yard. Qing Yangzi pushed open the door to Qing Dan’s alchemy room, which was not accessible to ordinary disciples. It was said that it was Elder Qing Dan’s forbidden room. As Alchemists had weird habits, the people below didn’t dare to offend him. Qing Yangzi wouldn’t enter Qing Dan’s alchemy room without a good reason. Now that he knew Qing Dan stayed in Muyang Temple for some purpose, he didn’t care much about the manners.

The door was slowly opened, and they saw a ghost’s head, which caught them by surprise. They looked around slowly.  Since it was an alchemy room, alchemy stove should be found. However, there was no alchemy stove in this room. There were some strange ornaments. In the middle of the room, there was something like an array.
