604. Danta Spy
What kind of person Lei Jingxiao likes is indeed a very intriguing question, so not only Yao Qingyu, but all the other women also turned their attention to him.
After all, Lei Jingxiao is a genuine young master from a wealthy family. With his status as a member of the Lei clan and his strength as a Dou Zun at such a young age, it would be difficult for most women to refuse his kindness.
Needless to say, this guy's storage ring contains countless treasures; he could easily give Yao Qingyu a bracelet that's a top-tier wood-attribute item. In the future, when Lei Jingxiao pursues his sweetheart, he'll probably be able to sway her heart simply by showering her with these treasures.
However, the final result disappointed those who wanted to watch the spectacle. As always, Lei Jingxiao seemed to have completely disregarded this aspect.
"I haven't thought about it, and I'm not interested. I'll wait until later..." Lei Jingxiao said, completely unconcerned.
When everyone realized that in Lei Jingxiao's eyes, a like-minded partner might not be as meaningful as giving Wei Jiangyuan a good beating, they stopped dwelling on the topic.
"Should we tell them about that matter?" Little Fairy Doctor asked Xiao Yan. The matter she mentioned was what she and Xiao Yan had discussed in private before the banquet, when they hadn't come here immediately.
Xiao Yan didn't hesitate for long before nodding and saying, "Leaving aside others, Cao Ying and Dan Chen want to come with me to collect the Three Thousand Burning Flames, so I should at least make it clear to them."
Afterwards, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor took the initiative to invite Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Wei Jiangyuan, and Yao Qingyu to go to a private room together.
……
"Are you saying there are Spirit Race spies within the Pill Tower?" Dan Chen asked in a deep voice.
When Xiao Yan revealed this explosive conclusion, the five people's expressions changed, but they weren't overly surprised. Clearly, even if Xiao Yan hadn't brought it up, they had some suspicions. After all, they had witnessed everything that happened in the Pill Tower, and even though Xiao Yan won the final championship, many things that occurred during that time couldn't be ignored.
"Based on the events that have occurred in the Pill Realm, it is highly likely that there are spies within the Pill Tower who have transmitted a lot of information to the Spirit Race."
Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Yan, who gestured to her with his eyes that she should explain.
Little Fairy Doctor also took the initiative to say, "Everyone should still remember that when the Pill Tower first changed the rules, it did not allow contestants to use their own medicinal materials. They could only use herbs obtained from the Pill Gathering Space for refining. What was the most important reason for this?"
"In order to restrict Ling Zhuo," Wei Jiangyuan replied seriously.
"But Ling Zhuo wasn't restricted at all," Cao Ying replied. "In fact, he was almost ridiculously successful. He had everything planned out in advance, and all the directions he gave us were precise. He knew the exact location of all the misty mountains."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jiangyuan subconsciously chuckled, "It feels like this Pill Realm Trial is more like it was prepared for Ling Zhuo."
Xiao Yan frowned slightly at this moment: "More importantly, Ling Zhuo even knows the identity of Junior Sister Qingyu perfectly well. Before the Pill Gathering, very few people knew about this."
For Yao Qingyu's safety, Xuan Yi naturally couldn't reveal this matter. Before the Pill Gathering, Xiao Yan himself thought he was the only one who knew Yao Qingyu's identity, because Wei Jiangyuan initially really regarded Yao Qingyu as his opponent because of her unknown identity.
Before the Pill Gathering, Yao Qingyu had been unwilling to act alongside Xiao Yan precisely because she wanted to fulfill her role as an "undercover agent." By infiltrating the Spirit Clan's small team, she hoped to achieve some unexpected results.
As a result of her identity being exposed instantly, Yao Qingyu not only didn't have time to achieve anything using her undercover identity, but her safety was also almost used as leverage by Ling Zhuo to threaten Xiao Yan and Xuan Yi, even though Wei Jiangyuan intervened and saved her. The two of them were still in grave danger. Everyone except Xiao Yixian, who hadn't entered the Pill Realm, witnessed how critical the situation was. If Xiao Yan had arrived any slower, neither Wei Jiangyuan nor Yao Qingyu would likely have survived.
It was precisely because this matter directly threatened Yao Qingyu that Xiao Yan was exceptionally angry. After the Pill Gathering ended, Xiao Yan immediately shared everything with Little Fairy Doctor. Little Fairy Doctor's speculation was similar to Xiao Yan's vague guess; they both believed that someone in the Pill Tower had leaked the secret.
"There is a high probability that there is a spy in the Pill Tower, and his level must be quite high. According to President Xuan Yi, very few people know about Sister Qingyu. If there really is such a person, he must be a pillar of the Pill Tower."
"So what should we do now? If we go and talk to them directly, this matter will definitely cause a great upheaval in the Dan Tower," Dan Chen said hesitantly.
Only someone like her, a true member of the Pill Tower, knew just how explosive this information was. The importance of an elder of such high status to the Pill Tower was self-evident. More importantly, if his true identity couldn't be confirmed, even if this matter were to be publicized, it would be a huge blow to the Pill Tower.
The Spirit Clan hasn't left Saint Pill City yet. If an unexpected internal conflict erupts in the Pill Tower, no one can guarantee what the Spirit Clan will do next. Moreover, linking this matter to the Spirit Clan's coercion is chilling.
"If it were just this one thing, then everything would be uncertain, but there's something even more important!"
"Is this part of the second test of the Pill Gathering?" Yao Qingyu suddenly asked.
"Indeed, based on your experience, Ling Zhuo is very familiar with the conditions of this test and has a complete grasp of the location of Mist Mountain. Of course, this is understandable, since it wouldn't be difficult for him to obtain relevant information given the presence of spies."
Xuan Kongzi did intend to give Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan each a copy of the information from the Pill Realm, but they ultimately declined, hoping for a fair competition. Yao Qingyu also received a copy from Xuan Yi, indicating that the Pill Tower could indeed confirm the information about Mist Mountain.
"What does that prove?"
"The information about Fog Mountain isn't that important. What's truly fatal is whether you've considered this: Ling Zhuo is completely unrestricted within Fog Mountain!"
"Because of his Source Spirit Crystal!" Little Fairy Doctor's crucial words brought everyone to their senses, and everyone had already realized what was going on.
