After she explained the effects of each pill, Ye Lian spoke directly to Qin Zheng. "All right, you don't need to think about anything anymore; start swallowing these pills, and I will join the others, Sister Zheng."
After Ye Lian left, Qin Zheng imdiately sat cross-legged on the bed, gazing at the five pills in her hand. She then placed the remaining pills in her storage ring while pondering. "Who exactly is Zhang Fei [1]? Where did he co from?
Despite his youth, his cultivation has already advanced to the soul realm, and his unique abilities have enabled him to perform actions on Ba Yongshan without anyone noticing, including the vice sect master and the elders of this sect. Furthermore, he has connections with the five powerful clans, a feat no one else has ever accomplished before.
If I'm not mistaken, Zhang Lingxue is an elder of the Blazing Phoenix Sect who is also an alchemist, and he probably got these pills from her."
Qin Zheng let out a soft sigh before closing his eyes, and he began to swallow the pills one by one in their order, starting with the Essence Qi Pill.

"Do you know what happened to Yongshan, Lian?" Jing Qiu asked Ye Lian as soon as she entered their room.
"Why do you think I know sothing about that, Qiu?" Ye Lian returned the question as she sat down between her two sect sisters.
Jing Qiu shook her head at Ye Lian. "It's just my hunch that your fiancé did that to Yongshan, especially after the previous altercation between them."
Qian He also tried to persuade Ye Lian to tell them. "Co on, Lian! Tell us the truth: Was it really your fiancé who did that to Yongshan?"
"Haha." Ye Lian laughed softly, then put her arms around their shoulders. "Fei's character isn't that petty, okay? He could do sothing to Yongshan, but he wouldn't do anything just for a little fuss, like before. However, the situation becos different if that idiot is unable to accept his own mistakes and invites others to harm him, and he will kill him if he does such a thing."
"Does that an Zhang Fei [1] really did that to Yongshan?" Both won inquired simultaneously. "Earlier, we saw him with Senior Shuxiang and Senior Zhongguo, and they appeared to be looking for him."
Ye Lian nodded to Jing Qiu and Qian He. "Yongshan must have complained to Ba Shuxiang and Chi Zhongguo, but he definitely didn't tell them the real matter, especially since he had always been like that and would do anything to achieve his goals, including using other people. Moreover, we all know that his elder sister always pampers him, and she will definitely help him no matter the reason.
As for her husband, he is too timid to defy her; he will do anything to please her."
Jing Qiu and Qian He nodded in agreent, especially since they were both familiar with Ba Shuxiang's character, and she would do anything to protect her little brother. As for Chi Zhongguo, they were not familiar with him, but they had seen his behavior many tis when he approached his wife in the past.
"Do you think your fiancé will do sothing to them?" Jing Qiu asked Ye Lian with a serious look. "After all, Chi Zhongguo is the second son of Sect Master Chi Yang, so his status is quite high in this sect. Besides, Sect Master Jiawen is always protective of his clan mbers, so if that happened, the people from the two sects would beco Zhang Fei [1]'s enemies."
"The Chi clan is indeed powerful, especially since they are one of the major clans in the eastern region, but the Ba clan is too weak." Both won agreed with Ye Lian's evaluation of the two clans. "Fei even dared to go against the Shen Haoran just to snatch Shen Yu from Shen Tianhu, and he will ruin their wedding ceremony in two days.
Moreover, they still have to face my Ye Clan along with the Shen, Liu, Chu, and Zhang Clans if they choose to be his enemies, so they will be the ones who lose if they take such a decision."
Both won smiled wryly after Ye Lian ntioned Zhang Fei [1]'s relationship with the five clans, but Qian He then asked her again. "Anyway, what made you willing to accept Zhang Fei [1]? You hate Gu Zhan because he cheated on you repeatedly, but you chose a man with many wives as his replacent."
Naturally, Ye Lian felt embarrassed to tell them about her initial encounter with Zhang Fei, especially since she imdiately fell for his charm upon eting him for the first ti, and they even did intimate things right away. "Actually, I first heard about him from my brother, and he beat Ye Hang badly after he challenged him to a fight for Chu Ying."
"Oh!" Qian Ye nodded repeatedly after hearing that. "I rember that! Ye Hang and Zhao Yun are infatuated with Chu Ying, and they repeatedly ca to the Chu Clan to court her, but she never had any interest in them."
"That's right." Ye Lian nodded in reply. "After my little brother told about Fei, I imdiately went to see Chu Ying to confirm their relationship, which led to my first encounter with him. Even though we had just t for the first ti, he approached directly, which confused , as I was still Gu Zhan's fiancée at the ti.
Furthermore, he already had many won, which made it difficult for to accept him.
"Ha a." Jing Qiu laughed and grabbed Ye Lian's hand. "At least, Zhang Fei [1] is honest in revealing his polygamous relationship, and he is not like Gu Zhan, who cheated on you repeatedly."
"Yes." Ye Lian gave Jing Qiu a nod of agreent. "Actually, Fei's honesty about his relationship is what attracted to him, but I didn't accept him right away, and I chose to spend so ti with him first. Once I was certain about him, I brought my mother to break up my engagent with Gu Zhan, and I also took him to see her before we left for our practice."
"Did Zhang Fei [1]'s other wives accept and treat you well?" Qian Ye curiously asked Ye Lian.
Ye Lian smiled upon hearing that. "Do you think I'll accept Fei if they don't accept ? Furthermore, he treats us all equally and fairly, so we all get along well and spend a lot of ti together."
"Sigh." Jing Qiu sighed heavily and laid down on the bed. "I would be happy if I could find an honest man like your fiancé, but I still won't accept it if my future husband has many wives, and I want him to only love ."
" too!" Qian He said this while lying on the bed. "No matter how fair and honest a man is, I am sure that he will still have favoritism, so I also do not want to have a husband who has many wives."
"Haha." Ye Lian chuckled before lying down in the middle of them before hugging them. "You two are my best friends, so I will always pray that you guys will find a good man to be your husband."
Jing Qiu and Qian He laughed happily after hearing that, and they then talked about other things, especially about their next plans after completing their sparring practice with the disciples of the Desolate Sect. .

anwhile, an elderly woman in her early seventies gazed intently at Ba Yongshan's petrified state, while several others stood behind her, observing him with a mixture of confusion and astonishnt.
Chi Zhiqiang then asked the old woman. "Aunt Lian Xiang, what do you think caused his body to turn to stone like this?"
Lian Xiang did not answer Chi Zhiqiang's question directly, and she first touched Ba Yongshan's head before flowing her qi into his body, especially since only his head did not turn to stone. However, after checking his internal body condition, her expression changed imdiately, and she promptly inford them.
"This brat's condition is really bad, especially since his internal organs are also starting to petrify gradually, and he will eventually die if everything petrifies."
"What?" Ba Shuxiang scread in shock and moved to Lian Xiang's side. "Vice Sect Master, can't you do sothing to reverse my little brother's condition?"
"I've tried using my earth elent to reverse this brat's condition, but it didn't work." Lian Xiang replied with a disappointed expression. "Throughout my life, I've studied and tried many things about the earth elent, but I've never found anything like this before. Moreover, I feel that his body beca like this not because of a cultivation technique but because of a curse."
"A curse?" Before Chi Zhiqiang posed the question, everyone turned to Lian Xiang. "Does that an soone from the Pang Clan did this to Yongshan, Aunt? As far as I can rember, there were people from that clan who had this kind of ability, but they haven't been seen anywhere for a long ti."
"You know that's impossible, right? The people from the Pang Clan do have such an ability to do this, but they would never be able to sneak into our sect, so I am absolutely certain that the perpetrator is soone else." Lian Xiang then turned into Ba Shuxiang. "Did your little brother have problems with other people?
For now, we have no choice but to look for those people, and they are our hope in saving him."
Upon hearing that, Chi Zhongguo promptly inford Lian Xiang. "Grandma, Yongshan had previously t a man nad Zhang Fei [1] when he arrived in our sect, and my brother-in-law asked to help teach him a lesson because he insulted the Ba Clan as a weak clan.
Furthermore, my brother-in-law inford that, despite his cultivation at the 2-Star Soul Realm, he had a terrifying intent to kill, leading us to suspect him of being a cold-blooded killer."
Chi Zhongguo's information actually made Lian Xiang and the others look at him with frowns, and their expressions beca very serious, confusing him and Ba Shuxiang.
"Are you two sure that the man's na is really Zhang Fei [1]?" An old man with a serious look asked Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang.
They nodded to the old man, and Chi Zhongguo told them sothing else. "Anyway, my brother-in-law also told that Zhang Fei [1] ca to our clan specifically to et Elder Gang Jinshu, and he should still be in his private quarters now."
Wasting no ti, Lian Xiang imdiately contacted Gang Jinshu and asked him to co et them, and she also asked him to bring Zhang Fei [1] along, especially since ti was ticking or Ba Yongshan would die if all his internal organs turned to stone.
Although Gang Jinshu didn't want to see them, he couldn't refuse Lian Xiang's orders, so he hurried to et them. In just a few minutes, he had arrived at the room, but he didn't bring Zhang Fei [1] with him, and he brought Shi Xi instead. "What happened, old Lian? Why did you call in such a hurry? Moreover, why did you ask to bring that kid? Did he cause trouble in our sect?"
"Is Zhang Fei [1] a mber of the Zhang Clan?" Lian Xiang was imdiately asked him to confirm their guess.
"That's right." Their expressions beca even more serious after Gang Jinshu confird their guess about Zhang Fei [1]. "That kid isn't a direct mber of that clan, but Zhang Lingxue is one of his wives, and I've confird this matter with her directly. In addition, he is a mber of the Chu, Ye, and Liu Clans."
"Are you kidding us? How could he possibly be a mber of all four clans at the sa ti?" Another old man inquired with a slight shriek.
"That kid brought this girl to because she had the tal elent, and he wanted her to learn from about it." They imdiately turned to Shi Xi, which frightened her, prompting her to quickly hide behind Gang Jinshu. "She confird for that Liu Hua, Chu Qing, and Chu Ying are his wives. Ye Lian is his fiancee, so he is really a mber of their clans, right?
Furthermore, he presented another clan plaque to our gatekeepers, belonging to the Shen Clan, and he himself was a disciple of the Yin-Yang Pavilion."
Gang Jinshu's revelation of Zhang Fei's relationship [1] shocked them all, including Chi Zhongguo and Ba Shuxiang, especially since Ba Yongshan did not tell them the truth. "Anyway, you guys haven't answered my previous questions; what really happened? Did he cause trouble in our sect?"
"You can see for yourself, Old Gang." Lian Xiang replied as she pointed at Ba Yongshan.
"Eh?" Gang Jinshu gasped for a mont before moving in front of Ba Yongshan and examining his condition. "Do you guys think that kid did this to him? If you really think that, then you can forget about it, especially since he doesn't have the earth elent, so there's no way he could do such a thing to him."
However, Chi Zhongguo imdiately spoke to Gang Jinshu. "Elder Jinshu, regardless of whether Zhang Fei [1] did this to my brother-in-law or not, we must find him right now, especially since he was the last one to have a dispute with him, and we can interrogate him to ascertain the truth."
