A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Wei Wuji and his retainers escorted them to the door until they boarded their carriage and disappeared around the corner.

As soon as Bai Yuan and the others left, Wei Wuji returned to his residence and immediately summoned his trusted confidants to discuss matters.

On the other side, Bai Yuan and the others returned to Xuanxin Pavilion, where Lin He immediately came out to greet them.

Lin He was slightly taken aback when he saw that a strange woman had come down with Bai Yuan and Wuming.

"This is Ningyan, she will be my maid from now on."

Bai Yuan simply gave a brief explanation.

Hearing this, Lin He was relieved. It seemed that they had a very pleasant conversation with Lord Xinling last night.

Then, as if remembering something, he reported it to Bai Yuan.

"My lord, I have found the person you asked me to find. Would you like to meet him?"

Upon hearing that Lin He had found someone who met his requirements in such a short time, Bai Yuan hesitated for a moment.

When he asked Lin He to find an alchemist before, he stipulated that the alchemist must have a clean background and be loyal enough. In fact, there was a third hidden requirement.

Alchemists need to be able to precisely control the alchemical fire in order to successfully refine pills, which means that ordinary people without internal energy cannot do this.

With these three requirements combined, finding the right person will be quite difficult.

In reality, Bai Yuan didn't have much hope for Lin He at all; the final selection would definitely be overseen by someone from the Daoist school.

Finding a tool for this mission is secondary; the main purpose is to test Lin He's abilities and loyalty.

After thinking it over, Bai Yuan finally decided to go and take a look.

"Wait until I change my clothes, then bring them to the backyard to see me."

After saying that, he went back to his room to change his clothes.

When Bai Yuan changed his clothes and arrived at the backyard of Xuanxin Pavilion, he found that Lin He had already ordered that no one was allowed to approach the backyard, and he was waiting there with two men.

Bai Yuan could see from afar that the two people's attire suggested they were Taoist disciples, which puzzled him.

"Lord!"

Lin He saw Bai Yuan approaching and immediately stepped forward.

The other two were so shocked when they saw Bai Yuan that their mouths dropped open, but they quickly recovered and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master!"

Hearing this address, Bai Yuan became even more puzzled.

“My lord, these two are actually disciples of the Heavenly Sect. They were sent out to handle some miscellaneous tasks because they made some mistakes. However, I know them and I can confirm that they are trustworthy people.”

Lin explained their identities.

Bai Yuan found this quite interesting.

"Are you also disciples of the Heavenly Sect?"

The Heavenly Sect has a considerable number of disciples, so he wasn't too surprised to see two disciples he wasn't familiar with, but he still tentatively asked them about it.

"Reporting to Martial Uncle, we are Yun Xuan and Yu Xuan from Elder Qing Xuzi's lineage. We were sent out three years ago because we had a private duel with a disciple of the Human Sect."

The two offered their explanation.

Bai Yuan nodded slightly. He had indeed heard about this matter. Although he didn't usually care about such things, it had caused quite a stir within the Daoist community. The disciples of the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect had a private duel, which had a terrible impact. It seemed that the disciples who participated in the duel had all been sent away.

Actually, "sending someone abroad" is just a nicer way of saying it.

In reality, they were expelled from Mount Taiyi, but the Taoists have not yet removed them from the list, giving them a chance to return to Mount Taiyi if they make any contributions in the future.

Bai Yuan didn't care about their past mistakes. After confirming their identities, he continued, "Do you know why we've called you here?"

The two shook their heads somewhat awkwardly.

"I don't know. Manager Lin only sent us a message saying that something had happened at Xuanxin Pavilion and they needed our help, so we rushed over. I didn't expect you to be here too, Uncle-Master."

He could tell that neither of them was lying, which showed that Lin was very cautious when looking for people.

The fact that they rushed over immediately because of Lin He's words shows that they still maintain sufficient loyalty to the Taoist school.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but glance at Lin He; his performance was unexpectedly good.

Seeing Bai Yuan looking at him, Lin He smiled and explained, "This matter is of great importance. Even though they are also disciples of the Heavenly Sect, how could I dare to tell them before the Master has confirmed it?"

"You're quite clever. Alright, you can go now!"

Bai Yuan praised him, saying he was very satisfied with the result of the test. Lin He not only proved his ability, but also his loyalty to Taoism and Bai Yuan.

"Then I shall take my leave!"

Lin He left, leaving behind two bewildered Tianzong disciples who still hadn't figured out what was going on and were waiting for Bai Yuan's explanation.

Bai Yuan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Do you still want to return to the Heavenly Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them beamed with joy and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Of course! We were too impulsive back then, which led to our terrible mistake. If our senior uncle is willing to help us return to the Heavenly Sect, we are willing to do anything!"

Bai Yuan nodded: "Do you know how to refine pills?"

"Refining pills?" The two men's smiles froze, and they slowly shook their heads. "We've only read some books on alchemy before, but we've never actually practiced it."

Alchemy is not a mainstream practice in Taoism, and most disciples do not learn it, so it was within Bai Yuan's expectations that these two would not.

"It's okay if you don't know how, you can learn. I had Lin He bring you here so you could learn how to refine pills."

Although they were puzzled by Bai Yuan's words, they nodded nonetheless.

"Since our martial uncle tells us to learn, then we'll learn!"

Seeing that they had agreed, Bai Yuan patted them on the shoulders with satisfaction.

"Very good. Then I will personally teach you these next few days. Once you have learned it, I guarantee that Senior Brother Sect Leader will agree to let you return to the Heavenly Sect, and your status will be greatly improved!"

"We will definitely study hard!"

The two children were almost overwhelmed by Bai Yuan's empty promises, and they kept nodding.

They didn't dare to aspire to any status; they would be content to go back and be ordinary disciples.

"That's good enthusiasm. Now that you're ready, come with me!"

Bai Yuan was like a big bad wolf luring a little white rabbit, leading these two "tools" into the alchemy room.

Chapter 35 Your things are my things

"boom!"

The sound of an exploding furnace came from the alchemy room in the backyard of Xuanxin Pavilion once again.

Bai Yuan skillfully used the Autumn Waters of Ten Thousand Rivers to control the leaking elixir fire.

For the past three days, he had been teaching Yun Xuan and Yu Xuan how to refine pills, but including this time, the two of them had caused the furnace to explode a total of seven times, and he was becoming somewhat numb to it.

"Take a break and reflect on where things went wrong."

Bai Yuan rubbed his forehead, flicked his sleeves, and then walked out of the alchemy room to rest.

Inside the alchemy room, Yun Xuan and Yu Xuan, covered in soot and dirt, also wore bitter expressions.

"I never imagined alchemy would be so difficult. Do you think we can still return to the Heavenly Sect?"

"Don't be discouraged! Failure is normal. We need to continue to reflect on where things went wrong and strive for success next time!"

The two encouraged each other and cheered each other up, and then they rallied again.

After leaving the alchemy room, Bai Yuan went to rest in the pavilion in the backyard, where Wuming and the others were also there.

"It seems your teaching isn't going very well."

Over the past two days, loud noises have been coming from the alchemy room from time to time. Wuming and the others have gone from being worried at the beginning to getting used to it now.

Bai Yuan hadn't expected that alchemy was actually so difficult!

He waved his hand with a bitter face: "I've taught them everything I need to. Let them practice the rest on their own! They'll get used to it as they fry. No, they'll become proficient."

He explained everything in great detail about what needed to be paid attention to when refining Qi Nourishing Pills. However, the two disciples of the Heavenly Sect were not strong enough and could not control the pill fire as precisely as he did. They could only try to figure out the feeling on their own.

Wuming smiled and shook his head slightly. Training an alchemist from scratch naturally takes time.

He also understood why Bai Yuan insisted on spending time training the two disciples who had been expelled from the Heavenly Sect, instead of simply sending the pill formula back to the Daoist school.

Because within the Taoist community, not everyone is worthy of Bai Yuan's trust.

From the moment Bai Yuan was prevented from descending the mountain by Mu Xuzi, to the assassination attempt by Luo Wang shortly after he descended the mountain, Bai Yuan wasn't stupid. He himself wouldn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.

Under such circumstances, how could he possibly feel comfortable handing over the elixir formula?

"Let's not talk about them anymore. Is there any news from Lord Xinling's side?"

After returning from Lord Xinling's residence, Bai Yuan had no time to pay attention to these matters. Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to ask Wei Wuji about his next move.

"Yesterday, the Xinling Lord's mansion announced to the public, as planned, that they had killed Jing Ni, the assassin from the Luo Wang organization who had gone to assassinate Xinling Lord. Since there is Jing Ni's sword as proof, the Luo Wang organization should already believe it."

As Wuming spoke, he glanced at Jingni, who was standing to the side in a daze.

It was because of the Jingni Sword she provided that their plan went more smoothly.

Wuming never expected that Bai Yuan could actually persuade Jing Ni to cooperate with the plan, and he didn't know what he had said to Jing Ni.

Lu was deep in thought, having witnessed Jing Ni's defeat by the "Emotional Sword Technique." In his view, Bai Yuan might have used another technique that could influence a person's emotions to make Jing Ni, an assassin, abandon her identity.

Bai Yuan noticed that Jing Ni's mood wasn't very high. Although she had escaped the Net, she still wasn't...

There is a shadow of having completely broken free from the net, so they are very confused about the future.

Shaking his head and ignoring her, Bai Yuan asked about something else: "What about Wei Yong?"

Wuming sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Although Lord Xinling already believes what we say, he does not yet have enough evidence to convince King Wei of the same thing."

There was nothing that could be done about it; King Wei was wary of Wei Wuji and wouldn't easily believe his words.

Bai Yuan was also helpless after hearing this, which was within his expectations. Wei Yong was cautious in his actions, and his daughter Wei Qianqian refused to come forward to testify, so it was not so easy to resolve the matter.
