Chapter 551: Chapter 551: 228 Enlightenment Elixir, Plan

“Yan Xiong has been captured…” Wei Zhengqing’s brow furrowed as he looked toward ‘Uncle Lian,’ and then he spoke:

“Please, Manager Lian, explain in detail. Moreover, how did you come to know of this?”

Even Wei Siyue appeared equally concerned, looking toward ‘Uncle Lian.’

‘Uncle Lian’ nodded and then said:

“It happened two days ago. A friend of mine returned from Black Xing Island and told me—he had seen Si Yue and knew of the relationship between Yan Xiong and you all.”

“My friend said that he happened to be on the scene at the time Yan Xiong was captured.”

“According to my friend, while capturing Yan Xiong, the people of the Moon Demon Sect also said you stole something belonging to their Sect Leader.”

After finishing, ‘Uncle Lian’ looked at Wei Zhengqing with a puzzled expression.

Clearly, Uncle Lian wasn’t very clear about this matter.

Wei Siyue then angrily said:

“They’re talking nonsense…”

“They are definitely framing my father!”

As for Wei Zhengqing, he did not offer further explanation.

Afterwards, ‘Uncle Lian’ did not stay for long before he left.

Once Uncle Lian had gone, Lin Jing turned to Wei Zhengqing and asked:

“Brother Wei…”

“The item they mentioned, what exactly is it that they are so concerned about?”

The reason why Lin Jing asked this was not because he suspected Wei Zhengqing of taking whatever it was from them; he would rather believe that Wei Zhengqing had something that the Moon Demon Sect Leader had been coveting all along.

Curious, Lin Jing had to ask.

However, after Lin Jing posed the question, Wei Zhengqing did not look particularly good.

Then, Wei Zhengqing said to Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin, please come with me…”

Having said that, Wei Zhengqing consoled Wei Siyue for a bit and then, taking Lin Jing, he headed toward the bedroom.

Once in the bedroom, Wei Zhengqing spoke again:

“Brother Lin…”

“What I’m about to tell you is very important, would you please seal off this room first.”

At his words, Lin Jing nodded and then invoked his Spiritual Power to isolate the entire bedroom.

After the room was sealed, Lin Jing looked at Wei Zhengqing and said:

“It’s done…”

“You can speak now, Brother Wei.”

Wei Zhengqing nodded and then began to speak:

“Actually…”

“There is indeed something beside me that the Moon Demon Sect Leader has been longing for.”

Hearing this, Lin Jing couldn’t help but feel puzzled about what it could be that the Moon Demon Sect Leader had been fixated on for so long.

Perhaps sensing Lin Jing’s confusion, Wei Zhengqing didn’t delay and continued:

“What the Moon Demon Sect Leader wants is Si Yue.”

“More precisely, it’s the Enlightenment Elixir within Si Yue’s body.”

“Enlightenment Elixir?”

“What is that? I’ve never come across it in any elixir books.”

Lin Jing asked in confusion, turning to Wei Zhengqing.

Wei Zhengqing then began to explain:

“The Enlightenment Elixir isn’t produced through alchemy, but rather, it’s the result of a Divinity Transformation Stage or higher Cultivator condensing their lifetime of insights when they’re about to pass away, forming a fruit of the way.

“Because it is extremely similar to an Elixir Medicine, it’s called an Enlightenment Elixir.”

“This Elixir, when used by Cultivators below the Divinity Transformation Stage, can enhance their understanding of the heavenly way, allowing them to enter the Divinity Transformation Stage more quickly.”

“Especially for those at the Nascent Soul Peak Stage, the Enlightenment Elixir is highly sought after.”

“I’m sure you’re aware, Brother Lin, that very few Cultivators above Divinity Transformation naturally reach the end of their life and leave behind such an Elixir, and even if they do, it’s usually kept for their clan’s descendants and seldom remains in the world.”

“Therefore, the Enlightenment Elixir is extremely precious.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing suddenly realized why the Moon Demon Sect Leader would pursue them so aggressively.

With lingering questions, Lin Jing voiced a series of inquiries:

“If it’s so precious, Brother Wei, how did you come by the Enlightenment Elixir?”

“And…”

“How did that bead end up inside Si Yue’s body?”

Wei Zhengqing then said:

“Brother Lin, do you recall the ruins I mentioned to you before?”

Lin Jing nodded and said:

“Of course, I remember…”

“Could it be that the Enlightenment Elixir was found within those ruins?”

Wei Zhengqing nodded and said:

“Exactly, it was within those ruins that we obtained the Enlightenment Elixir.”

Afterward, Wei Zhengqing began to recount the entire story of how it all began:

“Back then, Yan Xiong and I were cultivating and enhancing our power while traveling through the Northern Devil Region…”

“Everything was going smoothly until that day when a ruin was discovered, drawing many powers and cultivators towards it—including us.”

“And…”

“It was precisely in those ruins where I met Si Yue’s mother, Luan Shuangyue…”

“The first time I saw her, truth be told, I was in disbelief, I never expected someone in this world could resemble Ning Yue so closely…”

“I couldn’t help but take a few more glances at her, which unfortunately displeased her…”

…

…

Wei Zhengqing, immersed in his own world, recounted the details of his time with Luan Shuangyue.

From their initial encounter to gradually getting to know each other, and eventually, the two of them getting trapped together in a secret chamber within the ruins…

“It was in that secret chamber where we supported each other, came to understand one another, fell in love, and became intimate…”

Wei Zhengqing reminisced and narrated…

“The time we were trapped in that chamber could be said to be the happiest period of my life…”

“There, she was no longer the Holy Maiden of the Moon Demon Sect, and I had completely forgotten Ning Yue…”

“She was just herself, not a substitute for Ning Yue.”@@novelbin@@

At this point, Wei Zhengqing suddenly turned his head, looked at Lin Jing, and asked:

“Brother Lin, when you first heard the name Si Yue, did you think I was referring to Ning Yue?”
