Chapter 242 - Side-Effect

    ''So there''s a drastic change in their behavior and action when they consume the modified pills huh.'' Yang Wei deduced silently as he listened to Shen Zhiming''s description.


    "Anyway, do you mean to say that when Zhu Qi came out of his seclusion, he became an entirely different person?" Yang Wei asked.


    "Yes, that''s the gist of it." Shen Zhiming nodded.


    "Hmm, thanks for the information then." Yang Wei was about to turn around and leave but Shen Zhiming sneered.


    He wrapped his arm around Yang Wei''s shoulder and said, "Dai Feng has been asking us for lunch so we shouldn''t make him wait any longer."


    "Dai Feng has been asking?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow.


    He was dumbfounded to see that Dai Feng would still be suggesting for lunch after the incident of him cross-dressing and having to seduce a bandit.


    "Wait a minute- Shen Zhiming, how many days have passed since we retreated from the Misty Forest?" Yang Wei asked.


    Shen Zhiming pondered for a moment. "I believed it''s been 3 days already- not really sure though."


    Yang Wei smiled wickedly as he nodded his head.


    "We shall have lunch sometimeter." Yang Wei then bid his farewell as he quickly left the secretive sparring area.


    ''Hehe, 3 days have passed yet there''s still no news of the Phoenix Sky Sect dealing with the incident in the Misty Forest.'' Yang Wei eximed inwardly as he remembered the bet he had with Elder Jing.


    Sometimeter, Yang Wei returned to Elder Jing''s courtyard and was surprised to see her sitting calmly at the table.


    "You''re back from the meeting with Alchemist Guo already?" Yang Wei asked in a dumbfounded tone.


    "If I''m here then what do you think?" Elder Jing chuckled softly as she pointed at a seat for him.


    Yang Wei took his seat as he swallowed nervously.


    Now that he was meeting her directly, Yang Wei didn''t dare to talk about the bet for some reason.


    "You are acting suspiciously, Yang Wei." Elder Jing narrowed her eyes at him.


    "N-No, I''m not acting suspiciously." Yang Wei muttered as he shook his head.


    "You''re trying to talk about the bet aren''t you?" Elder Jing sneered as she could see through him like a book.


    Nothing could escape her intuition and foresight.


    "Well, it''s been 3 days already and there still hasn''t been any news from the Misty Forest." Yang Wei said awkwardly as he moved closer to Elder Jing.


    "You won''t renege on the bet right, Jing Feng?" He whispered softly.


    His hand secretly wrapped around her slender waist and pulled her closer to him.


    Elder Jing smirked at his action as she pinched on his waist slightly.


    "Today''s the third day and it''s still not over yet so don''t act cocky." She warned him.


    Yang Wei nodded his head as he stopped flirting with her and told her about his fruitfulbor.


    "Jing Feng, I have a Nihility Soul and I can manifest my soul force outwardly." Yang Wei bragged, hoping to earn some recognition from her.


    However, to his dismay, Elder Jing showed no reaction.


    Instead, she held a calm expression as she smiled briefly at him. "I already heard that from Su Mingxia."


    And she continued, "Since you have the Nihility Soul then it means your alchemy skills should improve to a new height. I''m expecting a lot from you."


    Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he watched Elder Jing retrieving a cauldron and multiple herbs.


    "Jing Feng, what happens if you consume a modified pill?" Yang Wei asked.


    Elder Jing continued to arrange the herbs cement as she answered his questions.


    "It depends on the modified pills itself such as the properties of it, ingredients used, and the alchemy me used to refine it." Elder Jing said.


    "Could this be rted to your investigation?"


    "Un, apparently those who consumed the modified pills have their personality and behavior altered."


    Yang Wei then exined the information he had gotten so far andpared Zhu Qi with Qin Xiaobo.


    "Both of them had their cultivation base soared to a new height but their ruthlessness also increased. It was almost like they had lost their reasoning when they began fighting." Yang Wei concluded.


    "What else did you find out?" Elder Jing became intrigued at the matter. She hasn''t noticed the possibility of their personality being altered due to the modified pill.


    ''Seems like Tang Xin had improved his alchemy skills drastically when he faked his death.'' Elder Jing said silently as she needed to convey this piece of information to Alchemist Guo.


    Meanwhile, Yang Wei started mentioning a grand elder in their sect who has been secretly funding a secretive ce for selected individuals.


    "Do you know who the grand elder could be?" Yang Wei asked her.


    Elder Jing shook her head.


    "The grand elders are different from us as they are hidden in an area where they cultivate in peace. Nobody was allowed to disturb them and not even Kong Yusheng could meet them on a whim."


    "Does that mean we have no clues anymore?"


    The room fell silent as the investigation woulde to a halt if they couldn''t find out the culprit.


    "I''m going to inform Kong Yusheng about this matter first so help me arrange the herbs and practice your alchemy in the meantime." Elder Jing breathed a soft sigh as she took out hermunication device.


    Afterward, she left the room to talk with him privately whereas Yang Wei followed Elder Jing''s order as he arranged the herbs.


    "Hmm, let''s see… the Purple Heart Orchid should go in first." Yang Wei then activated his alchemy me and became dumbfounded.


    His alchemy me intensity and size had increased drasticallypared tost time.


    "The Nihility Soul is indeed powerful." Yang Wei muttered in a low tone when he realized the rate of the cauldron being heated at thrice the speed.


    Yang Wei started dropping the herbs one by one as he extracted their impurities at an rming rate.


    Sometimeter, Elder Jing walked back to the room and gasped in surprise at Yang Wei''s alchemy skills.
