Chapter 504: Getting into Trouble
He noticed that some of the tasks were in a gray area and the specific information could not be viewed.
Those gray tasks should be the ones that have been accepted by someone.
In addition, the task information in the Shinto Order has been changing. From time to time, tasks disappear and new tasks appear.
In this case, it should be that someone has completed the task and the sect is issuing new tasks.
Putting away the Shinto Order, Duan Qing fell into deep thought.
The task of investigating the cause of Wan Bulu's death shocked Duan Qing.
Wan Bulu died in the Ten Thousand Corpses Cave and was killed by the mysterious woman. He saw it with his own eyes.
But how long has it been since this happened? It has been less than two days at most.
In such a short period of time, the Shinto Sect was able to know that Wan Bulu was dead and issued a task to investigate his cause of death.
When Wan Bulu died, only he and the mysterious woman were present. He did not reveal this matter, and the mysterious woman would definitely not tell it to others.
Then the news of Wan Bulu's death must have leaked from the Huanjian Sect. After all, Wan Bulu was the law enforcement elder of the Huanjian Sect. It was not surprising that the Huanjian Sect knew that he was dead.
Even Duan Qing knew some ways to find out whether someone was dead or alive. The simplest one was to look at the mark in the sound transmission jade slip.
But the Huanjian Sect was far away from the Shinto Sect after all. The two places were separated by several states and tens of thousands of miles, and the news transmission was blocked.
It must be said that Duan Qing was very surprised that the Shinto Sect could get this news from the Huanjian Sect so quickly.
A glimpse of the whole picture, just from the speed of the Shinto Sect collecting intelligence, we can know how powerful the Shinto Sect is.
To be honest, Duan Qing was somewhat moved when he saw the heaven-level task of investigating the cause of Wan Bulu's death.
But he knew that he could not take this task, nor could he accept it.
Even though he was present when Wan Bulu died, he had no evidence to prove the cause of Wan Bulu's death. Even if he told the sect everything, it was not certain that the sect would believe him and judge that he had completed this heaven-level mission.
And if he was not careful, he would get into trouble.
It should be noted that Wan Bulu was a spiritual realm master of the Huanjian Sect, and the Huanjian Sect would certainly do everything possible to investigate the cause of his death.
He reported the cause of Wan Bulu's death without any evidence. If the Huanjian Sect knew about it, I'm afraid he would be the first to suspect that he was related to Wan Bulu's death.
Even if he was a Shinto disciple, he would probably be in trouble at that time.
And the most critical thing is that the mysterious woman had the power to kill Wan Bulu, but she didn't kill him.
He himself couldn't figure this out, so how could he explain it.
If he really reported it truthfully, even the Shinto Sect would probably suspect him!
Therefore, how could he do it when it was so thankless and might cause him to get into trouble?
Let the Magic Sword Sect investigate it themselves. It would be best if they could find out the mysterious woman and kill her directly.
Duan Qing was afraid of the mysterious woman from the bottom of his heart.
But he knew that the Magic Sword Sect had a low chance of finding the mysterious woman.
While Duan Qing was daydreaming, in a cave not far from him, the eldest senior brother Yu Ya was concentrating on the alchemy furnace in front of him.
Under the alchemy furnace, a disc engraved with complex array patterns was continuously emitting a faint blue flame, burning at the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Yu Ya's cultivation method was of thunder attribute, so he could not practice the alchemy fire technique.
However, not being able to practice the alchemy fire technique did not mean that he could not make pills.
In addition to the alchemy fire technique, there are still many means that can achieve similar effects to the alchemy fire technique.
For example, using the power of the earth's core fire veins to make pills, or buying an alchemy fire plate.
The alchemy fire plate contains the alchemy fire injected in advance, which can replace the alchemy fire technique and output the fire source stably when making pills. It is an extremely sophisticated alchemy tool.
But the Danhuo Plate is difficult to make, so it is very rare and expensive.
Compared with the Earth Core Fire Vein, it is not cost-effective to use the Danhuo Plate to refine pills.
But for Yu Ya, the genius of the Shendao Sect, it is not a problem to afford the Danhuo Plate.
"It should be almost done!" Yu Ya stared at the alchemy furnace and muttered to himself.
This time, he was dragged to Jizhou by his junior sister Xue Wanyun, which forced him to put aside this furnace of valuable Thunder Cloud Pill.
Fortunately, after he came back, he made some repairs and finally did not let this furnace of Thunder Cloud Pill be completely scrapped. It is estimated that a few Thunder Cloud Pills can be refined, which is about half less than the original estimate.
Even so, Yu Ya still felt distressed.
You should know that he spent no less than 100 million spirit stones just to collect various materials in the early stage of this furnace of Thunder Cloud Pill, which was prepared to be used to impact the spiritual life realm.
At this time, the Dan Qi from the alchemy furnace gathered above the furnace, gradually forming a thunder cloud phenomenon, and lightning flashed in the cloud.
Yu Ya looked solemn when he saw this.
The elixir gas leaked out into clouds, and the Thunder Cloud Pill in this furnace was only one step away from being a pill.
The more critical the moment, the more careless you can be.
Yu Ya focused all his attention on the formation of the Thunder Cloud Pill in the furnace, and did not dare to relax at all.
At this moment, a bluish-white donkey suddenly jumped into the cave, as if attracted by the medicinal fragrance from the alchemy furnace, and rushed straight to the alchemy furnace, kicking the furnace without deviation.
The furnace was kicked by the donkey, making a muffled sound, and fell down. A stream of elixir gas that was almost substantial rushed out of the furnace.
As the elixir gas rushed out, several pills that looked dull and dull also rolled out of the furnace.
For a moment, the whole cave was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.
After the donkey kicked over the alchemy furnace, its attention was quickly attracted by the pills. It lowered its head and ate two pills in one gulp, chewing them on the spot.
Yu Ya was dumbfounded, staring at the scene blankly. He had never expected that a donkey would suddenly break in at this time, and he was a little overwhelmed.
After a moment, Yu Ya's face flushed red, staring at the donkey and screaming heartbreakingly.
"Ah... my Thunder Cloud Pill!"
As soon as the voice fell, Yu Ya gritted his teeth and pointed at the donkey and said, "Evil beast, you are so brave!"
His heart was bleeding.
It was not easy to rescue half of the Thunder Cloud Pill, but it was ruined by this stupid donkey who came out of nowhere!
Yu Ya's chest rose and fell violently, and he tried his best to control his emotions.
Although he was furious and wanted to kill the stupid donkey in front of him, he did not act rashly.
You must know that this is Qingfengjian, where Master Mu Yu practiced in seclusion, and generally no outsiders would come here.
This is also the reason why he did not set up a ban at the entrance of the cave when he was refining the elixir.
There are only a few people in Qingfengjian. The sudden appearance of the stupid donkey must be related to the people in Qingfengjian. Maybe it was brought by Junior Sister Xue.
If he kills the stupid donkey, Junior Sister Xue might be unhappy.
If Junior Sister Xue is unhappy, then the master will be unhappy. If the master is unhappy, his life will be difficult.
Yu Ya was cautious and did not make a move. The stupid donkey stood there, chewing with big mouthfuls, enjoying two delicious pills, looking at Yu Ya with a stupid face.
For a while, the man and the stupid donkey looked at each other, staring at each other.
