Chen Luoyang, in the guise of "Sir Zun", appeared at the round table.
Everyone's gazes immediately focused on him.
"A friend who was here earlier …" he turned his gaze to Bie Donglai. "The peach tree brought a piece of important news. He said that the person who had set up the barrier for the world of mortals had already perished."
Bie Donglai sat across from him and nodded repeatedly.
This was the first time Li Gucheng had heard of this, and his reaction was about the same as that of Chen Luoyang and Ji Zhong. He was extremely shocked and flabbergasted.
Sir Zun continued, "But after the information I've gathered and verified in the past few days, I believe that he is still alive."
Bie Donglai was not angered by these words. He only stared straight at the "Sir Zun" that Chen Luoyang was disguised as.
Chen Luoyang calmly replied, "Although it has not been completely confirmed, it seems that someone came into contact with him in the past few years."
"What kind of person?" Bie Donglai's voice rose slightly.
"Perhaps calling him a successor or disciple is not accurate, but there should have been some contact." Chen Luoyang unhurriedly said, "As for the truth, I will have to trouble everyone to confirm it for me and give me an answer."
Bie Donglai did not ask who it was. Instead, he sat there in deep thought, as if pondering who was most similar to the person that Sir Zun had mentioned.
But when Li Gucheng heard this, his heart began to pound.
Could it be true?
Could it be true?
While he was shocked, he was also worried. He didn't know how much value the information he currently had in Sir Zun's eyes and whether or not it could be exchanged for the Pacifying Pill recipe.
He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and then said, "Sir Zun, this junior has found some information, but I don't know if it will be of use. I hope that you can take a look."
As he spoke, he offered up a jade scroll and handed it to Sir Zun.
Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as Sir Zun, took the jade scroll and skimmed over its contents. After a few moments, he lightly nodded and then raised his hand at Li Gucheng.
Thus, a blue light enveloped Li Gucheng.
Li Gucheng felt like his connection to the outside world had been completely cut off.
Then, Mister Zun's voice resounded in his ears, "Little friend, may I ask when this happened?"
Li Gucheng hurriedly replied, "Senior, I just went to the Divine Land not long ago and came into contact with this person named Chen Luoyang. Although he didn't say much, I think that this person's true master is from the Supreme Being … Uh, from the existence who set up the barriers for all the worlds in the mortal world."
"Very good, this is a good harvest." Mister Zun said, "However, I need to confirm a step further, and most importantly, my target isn't this Chen Luoyang, but the one behind him. I need to confirm who he is, and if it's the person I'm looking for, then I need to know exactly where he is, and what he's doing."
Li Gucheng replied, "I will try my best to find out more information about this for you. But you know, I am nothing compared to that person …"
"You need some confidence and help, my friend." Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as "Mr. Zun", said.
After saying that, a small ball of light appeared in front of Li Gucheng. When the light dissipated, it was a jade strip.
Li Gucheng's breathing suddenly became a bit heavier.
He held his breath with rapt attention, skimming through the contents of the jade strip. Although he was already mentally prepared, he was still overjoyed.
The contents of the jade strip were the elixir recipe for the Soothing Pill.
From the required medicinal materials to the specific alchemy techniques, everything was available.
This elixir that had long been lost in the mortal world finally had a chance to see the light of day again.
Li Gucheng carefully checked the materials needed for the elixir, and found that he had most of them in stock. What he didn't have now, he basically had channels to collect, so he was completely relieved.
His heart was burning, and he thanked Mister Zun with unprecedented sincerity.
Mister Zun's tone was very gentle. "I am happy to help my friend. Little friend, you don't need to be so polite. Friends helping each other is a wonderful thing."
Hearing that, Li Gucheng calmed down a bit, and said, "I will continue to do my best to help you find out what you want, and do my best."
Although he had already obtained the elixir recipe, Li Gucheng didn't want to give up.
To be more precise, he didn't dare to fight.
His father was the Western Qin Great Emperor, and behind him was the Western Qin Dynasty, the top super force in the mortal world.
But seeing the Mad Emperor Bie Donglai in the "tree house" today had deeply shaken him.
No matter how unruly Bie Donglai appeared, in Li Gucheng's eyes, as long as he stayed here and didn't leave, it was enough to show how terrifying Mister Zun was.
He seemed calm and unassuming, but the tip of the iceberg that was inadvertently revealed made Li Gucheng's heart tremble.
The layer of blue light enveloping him faded, and Li Gucheng saw Mister Zun turn to look at Wutong.
Wutong immediately said, "I have a small harvest, but I'm not sure of its value. Senior, please take a look."
Mister Zun took a look, and then quickly said, "I think, Little Friend, you must have misunderstood this time."
Wutong was instantly somewhat disappointed, but he still forced himself to say, "Please forgive me, Senior. This junior will definitely work even harder to find."
Mister Zun said warmly, "Little friend, you've already helped me a lot. I'll have to trouble you next."
He then looked at Bie Donglai. "Friend, it seems like you haven't found anything else."
"You wanted me to prove that the Divine Traction Flower was related to a Supreme-Being, and that's exactly what I was doing," Bie Donglai said with a chuckle. "But now you've changed your mind. How could I have found anything else?"
Mister Zun didn't seem to mind his attitude at all. His voice was still as gentle and calm as before. "I believe that with Friend's abilities, you will quickly find something."
Bie Donglai said, "Hey, now that you mention it, I really do have an idea."
"I look forward to your harvest," Mister Zun said warmly.
Then, his gaze turned to Ji Zhong. "What about this Little Friend?"
Ji Zhong calmly said, "This one truly has no clues and cannot help Mister Zun. I am extremely sorry."
"Little Friend, don't be discouraged. I believe that you won't come empty-handed next time." Mister Zun's voice was still very gentle, as if he was very easy to talk to.
But when he heard the contents of his words, Li Gucheng's heart went cold, and he looked somewhat sympathetically at Ji Zhong.
Why did this sound so much like an ultimatum?
Ji Zhong's expression was still calm, as if he hadn't heard anything else. His emotions weren't affected in the slightest as he said, "This junior will definitely do his best."
That was what he said, but it didn't make anyone feel hopeful at all.
Ji Zhong himself remained calm the entire time.
He wasn't trying to beat around the bush. Rather, he was doing his best. In reality, it wasn't much different from not doing his best.
Up until now, his circle of life had always been very small. Whether it was in terms of interpersonal relationships or information channels, they were all very limited and singular.
Even if he desperately tried to find out information, the information he could obtain would be very limited, and he wouldn't expand much.
He wasn't good at expanding his social circle and information channels, so he didn't know where to start.
After being a salted fish for so many years, even if he wanted to make a comeback and leap through the dragon's gate, it was still a pipe dream.
If this caused Mister Zun to become angry and send down a punishment, then there was nothing he could do. He could only accept it. Apart from adapting to the circumstances, there was nothing else he could do.
Chen Luoyang could more or less guess what Mister Zun was thinking. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh at this young man who didn't care about life or death.
But on the surface, he still maintained a calm and collected look, continuing to play the role of "Mister Zun".
He said calmly, "Little friend, you are not an ordinary person, you must have had an extraordinary encounter. There's no need to belittle yourself, I'm not wrong about you."
Ji Zhong's body seemed to have moved a little.
But it wasn't the feeling of a gentleman dying for a bosom friend, it was a feeling of suspicion.
He looked at Mister Zun doubtfully.
Could Mister Zun see through his problem?
The young Xian Tian Palace's disciple wasn't arrogant, he didn't think that he was as superior as Mister Zun said.
But some of his encounters did make him feel abnormal. For example, the voice that seemed to be ringing in his heart.
It was indeed extraordinary, but there might be good aspects to it, and of course, there might also be bad aspects to it.
Ji Zhong felt that he was the latter.
Could this mysterious Mister Zun really see through his problem?
"I believe that little friend, you can give me a pleasant surprise." Chen Luoyang said, "On the contrary, I'm someone who likes to help my friends. The help I can give you may be beyond your imagination."
Ji Zhong pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands at Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as "Mister Zun", "Thank you for your concern, Senior. I will try my best."
His tone and words were filled with hesitation.
But compared to his previous words, it made people feel more expectant.
Chen Luoyang smiled, "I look forward to your attempt."
"Let's stop here for today." Bie Donglai stood up.
Chen Luoyang casually raised his hand and made a "please" gesture. "I also look forward to seeing you gain something the next time you come, my friend."
"Prepare Yanyan's whereabouts and wait for me," Bie Donglai said and walked out of the palace's door, disappearing in an instant.
Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as "Mister Zun", also stood up and nodded at Li Gucheng, Ji Zhong, and his own sockpuppet, "Wutong", "Take your time."
Then, he disappeared.
Ji Zhong also stood up and cupped his hands at Li Gucheng and "Wutong". "Take your time, you two. I will take my leave."
Saying this, he followed Bie Donglai and walked out of the palace, disappearing.
Li Gucheng stretched, bid farewell to Chen Luoyang, who was disguised as "Wutong", and walked out of the palace.
But at this moment, he was suddenly stopped by "Wutong".
He turned around and saw "Wutong" ask him, "Regarding what Mister Zun said, that Sovereign might have a new successor, or rather, that person who might have come into contact with Sovereign, do you have any clues?"
Li Gucheng countered, "You have clues?"
"Wutong" actually nodded. "Yes, do you want it?"
Li Gucheng asked, "If you give it to me, can you also provide it to Mister Zun?"
'Wutong' seemed to smile, "I have two suspects. I can 'sell' one to you and keep the other one for myself. Don't worry, I want to do business with you often. I won't cheat you on this one."
Li Gucheng was slightly moved. "Name your price first."
