Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

"Don't take it personally. It would be strange if someone who couldn't even find out the details of Linglong Pavilion could easily get information."

Xiao Zhan saw that he felt a little guilty and quickly comforted him.

"I think I know where he came from."

While Xiao Zhan and Qing Feng were talking, Jiang Xue circled around Jue.

Finally, she stopped to the left of the Jedi, lifted a corner of his tattered clothing, and found a mark on his left waist.

She had seen this mark before. When her father took her to see Feng Qiyuan for the first time, a group of guards in his mansion had this mark on their bodies.

However, those guards soon died in unclear circumstances, and even their bodies could not be found.

This incident caused a lot of uproar at the time. She still remembered that her father was furious about it and locked Feng Qiyuan up for half a year. It was not until Feng Qiyuan sent someone to deliver an apology letter that her father calmed down and released him.

"He is an alchemist." Jiang Xue pointed to the mark on Jue's left waist and explained: "Feng Qiyuan is just like Xiao Yan. He is superstitious about Taoism and pursues immortality. But he is more obsessed with alchemy than Xiao Yan. He is obsessed with refining the elixir of immortality.

Every time a batch of pills is refined, a group of people will be found to do the experiments. If someone survives, they will be marked as Danshi, which will be convenient for Feng Qiyuan to identify so that they can continue to do experiments. "

The elixir of immortality was secretly refined by Feng Qiyuan, so those who tested the medicine naturally could not have any identity.

Most of them are orphans who have been raised in the palace since childhood, and their backgrounds are completely blank. This is why Linglong Pavilion cannot find out Jue's identity.

"Since he is here to test the medicine, why send him to Wu Meifeng and why let him come to Beiling?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Shouldn't this kind of person be kept around?

"I can't explain exactly what happened. When my father was still alive, he got mad at Feng Qiyuan because of the alchemist. I was still young at that time and didn't know why he was angry. I just remember standing outside the door and hearing the words 'power catalysis' and 'lifespan shortening'."

It happened several years ago, she couldn't remember clearly. Now she was not in Qian country, so she had no way of knowing the situation.

"I have to write a letter back to ask Mo Tian or Prajna about this matter to see if I can find out anything."

Over the next few days, he was brutally tortured every day.

The strange thing is that no matter how badly he was injured, the wound would always stop bleeding and form scars the next day, which was particularly strange.

Even someone like Jiang Xue, who had seen all kinds of strange and bizarre diseases, found it quite magical.

In her opinion, Xiao Zhan's recovery ability was already very strong. The wound that was stabbed by Jue during the hunting hunt had begun to heal after a few days of rest. He could carry out normal activities without any problem, as long as he didn't use too much force and cause the wound to split.

Even if he recovered so quickly, Xiao Zhan would still need to rest for at least another half a month to fully recover.

This recovery speed is simply unscientific.

"Is there any news from Qian Country?"

As soon as Xiao Zhan entered the room, he saw Jiang Xue reading Mo Tian's letter, so he sat next to her and poured a cup of tea for both of them.

"Feng Qiyuan has never given up his research on immortality."

Jiang Xue handed the letter to Xiao Zhan, her face heavy with sadness: "Now I understand why my father was so concerned about the whereabouts of those alchemists. It turns out that they are not dead, but they were turned into monsters by Feng Qiyuan's half-baked elixir of immortality."

The elixir of immortality that Feng Qiyuan had always dreamed of could not actually make people immortal. The alchemists who tried it either died or had their blood and energy running wildly throughout their bodies, and their strength exploded, turning them into monsters with unparalleled speed, strength, and explosive power.

Each of these monsters is worth ten ordinary people, and their combat power is off the charts.

However, this extraordinary fighting power comes at the cost of life. To put it bluntly, the more powerful the Taoist is, the shorter his life will be.

The shortest is only one month or half a month, and the longest is no more than ten years.

When Feng Xun learned about this, he was furious with Feng Qiyuan because this kind of thing was too disregarding of human life. If the people of Qian Country knew about this, how could the Feng royal family be worthy of the people of Qian Country! How could they face the ancestors who had worked so hard for the prosperity of Qian Country?

"No wonder his recovery and explosive power are so extraordinary. It turns out that he took the elixir of immortality."

Xiao Zhan knew the whole story and the mystery in his heart was solved.

"But something is still wrong." Jiang Xue always felt that something was wrong: "The letter said that people who eat the semi-finished product of the elixir of immortality can only live for a dozen years at most. I looked at Jue's pulse and bones, and he is definitely not a teenager. He must be at least in his twenties. Logically speaking, as a Taoist priest, he should have died long ago."

The most accurate way to judge a person's true age is to look at their bones. This is what Shen Yunshen taught her personally, and she believes that her judgment is correct.

"You mean someone is helping him stay alive?"

Xiao Zhan immediately understood what Jiang Xue meant.

"Well, unless that's the case, he wouldn't be alive today."

Jiang Xue nodded, recalling Jun Li's expression and actions when he took Jue away in the stone cave, as if she had discovered some clues.

"By the way, have you sent anyone to the Inner Court to search for Jun Li's things?"

Once you enter the Inner Court, you are not allowed to bring in anything except the clothes on your body. Jun Li’s belongings should have all been taken away.

"Well, it's all here."

Xiao Zhan winked at Tieyi, signaling him to bring a plate.

The things on the plate were all searched from Jun Li.

Nothing less, nothing more.

Jiang Xue looked carefully at the contents of the plate, and finally her eyes fell on a small porcelain bottle.

She picked up the porcelain bottle and shook it gently, and a crisp sound came from inside.

It sounded like beads colliding inside.

He opened the red silk cloth covering the mouth of the bottle and poured out a purple-black round pill. When he placed it in his palm, he could smell a faint medicinal fragrance.

The fragrance is very light and you can't detect it at all if you don't smell it carefully.

But this smell could not be hidden from Jiang Xue's sensitive nose.

She put the pill to her nose and smelled it carefully. It was exactly the same smell she smelled on Jue when she confirmed his identity before.

Jiang Xue immediately determined that this pill was a semi-finished product of the elixir of immortality.

In addition to smelling this smell on Jue, the drug tester, there was another person who also had the same smell.

She remembered the smell she smelled when she was locked in the iron cage by the woman in black.

"It's her..." Jiang Xue whispered, the woman who teamed up with Wu Meifeng to humiliate her.

The special smell on her body really left a deep impression on Jiang Xue.

"Who?" Xiao Zhan looked at her with confusion.

Who is the “she” that Jiang Xue is talking about?

Jiang Xue turned to look at Xiao Zhan and briefly recounted what Wu Meifeng and the woman in black had done to her when he was not around.

Of course, she spoke briefly and clearly, and she did not elaborate on what those wretched men wanted to do to her. But when Xiao Zhan heard about a group of men, he could already imagine the disgusting faces of those people.
