Heavenly Dao Formula

Gyeonggi, Shangyuan City.

Yu Linglong changed her usual leisurely pace, almost rushing back to Dadu day and night. Along the way, she saw many convoys on the official road—these carriages did not hold the banner of the chamber of commerce as before, all the goods were covered with black cloth, and the escorts were even more heavily armed cavalry. Seeing this, she realized that the Privy Council had changed the siege plan, and the war would come earlier than expected, which made her speed up her pace further.

After arriving in Shangyuan, Yu Linglong returned home first, carefully wrapped up the two books brought back from Jinxia, ​​and hid them in a secret compartment like treasures.

After doing all this, she let out a long breath.

She spent a lot of money to buy it from a student—obviously Xia Fan didn't take precautions in this regard, and I don't know if he did it on purpose or ignored the possibility of leakage.

Even though it was unkind to do so, Yu Linglong knew the importance of "evidence". Even if she has a lot of tongues, it is impossible for all the core members of the Privy Council to change their views immediately, so testimony and evidence are equally important, and she doesn't think that if she asks Xia Fan for textbooks, the other party will definitely give them to her, so it is better to buy a set quietly. compromise approach.

Start with dryness first, let him have doubts temporarily, then show the evidence, and invite him to visit Jinxia. As long as Qian can stand on his side, Weihuang, Duyelong and others can all become targets of competition one after another.

After all, the Privy Council also believes in the saying that cognition can change one's mind and one's knowledge can improve one's skills.

Without continuous research on the mysteries of the world, there would be no alchemy as it is flourishing today.

"The flowerpot on the windowsill has been moved." Shadow said suddenly.

Yu Linglong walked to the window sill, and took out a note from under the flowerpot, "It was Wei Wenwen, he found what I wanted."

"Are you talking about Fei Nian's life experience?

"That's right. He also said that there is no major problem on the surface. If you want detailed information, he will be waiting at home at night." Yu Linglong tore up the note and stuffed it into the soil of the flowerpot. Let's go visit this friend."

She thought very clearly that if she could get clues about the evil forces' infiltration into the Privy Council, it would be easier for others to stop the siege. Even if she gains nothing, she has nothing to lose.

"I wish you would never go to the Privy Council's main office." Shadow curled his lips, "Can't you wait for others to rebel against you first? No one who wants to be the first bird in everything will end well."

"Who comes first is not the point at all, but if this war can be stopped, many people don't have to die, and Yan Qing can wash away the stigma of being a traitor." Yu Linglong smiled, "If you wait for others to do everything , Why did I join the Privy Council in the first place?"

...

At four o'clock in the evening (eight o'clock in the evening), Yu Linglong came to a friend's mansion, and was led all the way to the study by the housekeeper.

"Master Yu, please stay safe." Wei Wenwen was leaning over the desk writing something, when he saw Yu Linglong, he immediately put down his pen, got up and cupped his hands enthusiastically.

Although he is a sixth-rank alchemist in Gyeonggi, he is over forty now, and he has come to the end of the road of feeling Qi practice. Yu Linglong once helped him when he was in the most difficult time, so it was considered a kindness. In addition, Wei Wenwen was also an official of the recording department, so he was able to help him when he needed to check personnel information.

"You too." Yu Linglong smiled back and said, "Jiu'er is alright."

"Hey, thanks to you, Quan Zi is doing very well. But he has not awakened at the age of twelve, so he probably doesn't have much hope of becoming an alchemist." The other party shook his head helplessly, "It doesn't look like he is extremely talented. Look, I plan to find him a job when he turns sixteen."

"It may not be hopeless," Yu Linglong half-jokingly said, "Why don't you send him to Jinxia City to study, maybe he will be awakened in a year or two."

"My lord, what are you talking about?" Wei asked with a surprised look on his face, "The Privy Council is about to start a war against Jinxia City, where do you want me to send Jiu'er?"

"Don't worry, this war won't really start." Yu Linglong found a chair and sat down.

"No—fight? Can you take this news seriously?" He was really surprised now. You must know that the Privy Council has already released rumors, describing this siege as a suppression of rebellion and conspiracy, and if you stop it halfway, you will be slapping yourself in the face.

However, seeing that Yu Linglong didn't intend to go into details, he withdrew his idea of ​​questioning—maybe what the core members understand is quite different from those alchemists from the outer palace.

"Everything you want is here." Wei Wendao opened the bookcase behind him, took out a stack of documents, and handed them to Yu Linglong, "The first part is Fei Nian's personal files, and the latter part is Fei Nian's personal files, which I asked some Fei family members to inquire about. Notes made later."

Did you specifically ask the alchemist of the Fei family? This is a way of paying great attention to her request.

Yu Linglong took the paperwork, "Thank you, you have a heart."

"It's nothing compared to what you've helped me." Wei Dao waved his hand, "As long as I can help you, that's my honor."

She opened the file, which recorded Fei Nian's life story and official position, and attached a portrait. This person was born in Suzhou. After awakening the ability to sense Qi, his journey went smoothly, and he has become a representative of the younger generation until now. As Wei Wenwen said, just looking at this can't find any problems at all.

She then opened the transcript section, and the questions were mostly about the daily trifles that were not recorded in the archives. When she saw the fifth page, Yu Linglong was suddenly attracted by a word.

"Wonderful Appreciation Fair".

It was mentioned in the interview that the Fei family would send people to attend the meeting almost every year, and this was also a rare day when Fei Nian left Suzhou.

"If I remember correctly, the Odd Objects Appreciation Fair should be a grand event for those families who study mechanics. Why do the Fei family like to join in the fun?" Yu Linglong asked curiously.

"I am also a little concerned about this question, so I asked one more question." Wei Wenwen replied, "However, the alchemist of the Fei family said that it was because the master thought that this meeting could increase knowledge and broaden cognition, and some strange magic tools can also help Learning alchemy is helpful, so I organize my disciples to go there."

"This is the first time I've heard of it." Yu Linglong muttered.

"The place where the rare object appreciation meeting is usually held is the capital of Xu State, and more than one or two people go there, so it's not surprising." Shadow sighed. It's perfectly normal to go to Xu country when it comes to relationships."

"It would be great if I could learn more about the appreciation meeting from Mo Yun." Yu Linglong said with reservations.

It's a pity that she couldn't find any more suspicious clues until the end.

Seeing her close the book, Wei Wen asked quickly, "How, did you find anything?"

"Except for the fact that this mechanism exhibition surprised me a bit, everything else is fine." Yu Linglong shook the documents, "Do you mind if I take them away?"

"Even if you don't take it away, I will destroy it all." Wei Wenwen walked towards the door with a smile, intending to see his benefactor off, "In this way, I will find another opportunity to ask the senior alchemists of the Fei family, their schedule is relatively tight , so it may take time to make an appointment."

"Is it convenient for the officials of the recording department to do this?"

"Of course, updating personnel files is our duty."

Yu Linglong also stood up, "Then I won't stay here for long, and when you have news, contact me in the old way."

"Okay, you can rest assured and leave it to me." Wei Wenwen turned the doorknob, and gave a slight snort, "Strange..."

"What's wrong?" she asked subconsciously.

"The door seems to be stuck." The other party said with a frown.
