Zhao Jingfan pursed his lips, understanding the implication here:
The Sect Leader’s intention wasn’t solely to curry favor with Zheng Fa; more importantly, he wanted to use his camaraderie with Zheng Fa to protect Qingmu Sect.
He lowered his head but did not object.
Seeing him leave, Elder Xiong sighed, "It’s tough on you to co up with such a plan, but who knows how long the na Qingmu Sect will last..."
Neither of them were fools; naturally, they could see that Zheng Fa essentially wanted to unify the Hundred Immortals Alliance using his own thods.
It’s just that this thod was gentler.
"Zhao Jingfan is a man of sentint. As long as he’s around, Qingmu Sect might be gone, but the disciples won’t fare too poorly."
"If he’s not around..." Song Sect Leader chuckled, "How could I manage so far ahead?"
"Sentintal, is he..." Elder Xiong pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I’ll teach him well."
...
As Zhao Jingfan walked out the door, he was still sowhat dizzy.
What’s going on? How did a snitch like him beco the Junior Sect Leader?
The whole thing was peculiar and developed too quickly for him to comprehend.
Then, he suddenly realized sothing — he’s the Junior Sect Leader now, which ans the whole Qingmu Sect is his, at least for the future.
If he continues being a snitch...
Wouldn’t he be handing over his own belongings?
In that instant, a surge of loyalty and righteousness welled up in him, making him feel that he had been wrong in the past...
Upon realizing this, Zhao Jingfan couldn’t help but look back at Song Sect Leader’s chamber, filled with admiration:
This thod of using the Sect Leader position to reform a traitor, he’d truly never seen before...
The Sect Leader is indeed seasoned and cunning!
...
A few days later, when seeing Zhao Jingfan trailing behind Elder Xiong, Zheng Fa felt that guy seed different — how to put it, the look in his eyes was exceptionally conflicted.
"Here’s the elixir recipe."
Without bothering about what ailnt Zhao Jingfan had, Zheng Fa handed the transcribed recipe to Elder Xiong for research.
The paper actually contained more than one recipe.
Though Xie Qingxue provided a recipe from a Tianhe Sect predecessor, no one could say for sure whether that recipe would help the "Jiushan Golden Core thod."
Zheng Fa simply gave all recipes related to the Five Elents Orchid, including the Spirit Clearing Pill, to Elder Xiong.
If unsure, might as well test them one by one.
Looking down, Elder Xiong quickly noticed a problem, "What is this Five Elents Orchid? Why have I never heard of it?"
Zheng Fa smiled amiably, "This spirit plant should only exist now in the Jiushan Realm."
"Is it that precious?"
"Precious, not exactly. It’s just that..." Zheng Fa pondered, then slowly said, "The Five Sects don’t allow people to grow it, no, they don’t allow people to be aware of it..."
Elder Xiong was initially confused, then seed to understand Zheng Fa’s aning, slowly opening his mouth wide, his eyes fixed on Zheng Fa, apparently wanting to say sothing, but not uttering a single word.
"This is the most vital secret of our Jiushan Realm."
"Please, Elder Xiong, experint thoroughly and refrain from ntioning it to outsiders."
Elder Xiong lowered his head; the paper he held was thin, yet it seed as heavy as a mountain, etching a regretful expression on his face, like he’d boarded a pirate ship unwittingly.
This thing now could cost him his life!
Dare he ntion it?
Others might not be able to kill Zheng Fa, but could certainly kill a little Nascent Soul like him...
Zhao Jingfan had known this item ca from Tianhe Sect before but didn’t realize its taboo nature; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to ask so openly.
Feeling uneasy, he swallowed hard.
While attempting to draw people in, their Sect Leader might be seasoned, but Zheng Fa plays dirty...
