Chapter 1903

Ye Xiao nodded. He had also seen what Zhang Shuwen said in the information.

When the old Heavenly Master was forced to Penglai by the Chang family, he did not bring his direct bloodline to Penglai, whether he left in a hurry or deliberately.

Later, after the death of the old Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master's Mansion originally wanted to go inland and welcome the Heavenly Master's son to Penglai to inherit the position of Heavenly Master, because since the first generation of Heavenly Master, the tradition of the Heavenly Master's Mansion for thousands of years has been that the Heavenly Master's direct bloodline inherits the position of Heavenly Master.

However, the Heavenly Master's direct son in the inland had no intention of managing the affairs of the sect, so he refused the invitation of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Later, the current Heavenly Master said that he had received the will of the old Heavenly Master and asked him to take over the position of Heavenly Master. After discussion by the core members of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, most people agreed.

After all, the Heavenly Master's Mansion cannot be without a master for a day, and the current Heavenly Master is the nephew of the old Heavenly Master, and his bloodline is relatively orthodox.

At this time, Zhang Shuwen continued, "In fact, there have always been voices questioning the legitimacy of the current Tianshi Mansion. Bloodline is only one of them. Another point is that when the current Tianshi succeeded to the throne, he did not have any magic tools used by previous Tianshis to pass on the throne."

"But because the current Tianshi has strong teaching ability, those opposing voices over the past 30 years have not caused any waves. It's just that as the current Tianshi's body ages day by day, who will take over as the next Tianshi has become an unstable factor that destroys the harmony of the Tianshi Mansion."

"The current Tianshi naturally wants to pass the position to his son, but even he himself will be questioned, let alone his son."

"So the current Tianshi came up with a way, which is to refine a pill that only the first generation of Tianshi could refine, and no one has copied it for thousands of years, to establish the legitimacy of his position as Tianshi."

Hearing this, Ye Xiao instantly thought of the Dragon and Tiger Pill that Zhang Naichao had just mentioned. This is probably the pill that Wu Guozhang mentioned before, and even Zhuge Lin is very interested in.

Although Ye Xiao didn't know much about elixirs, he knew how valuable elixirs were since only Zhang Daoling had ever made one.

Just when Ye Xiao was distracted, Zhang Shuwen's voice came again.

"It's just that this elixir is not only difficult to make, but the materials are also rare in the world. About two months ago, Commander Gao spent a lot of effort to find the last few key materials for the current Heavenly Master, so that the Heavenly Master could start refining the elixir."

After listening to what Zhang Shuwen said, Ye Xiao finally figured out that the crux of the Tianshi Mansion and Gao Qimei's coming together should be that Gao Qimei used those alchemy materials in exchange for the current Heavenly Master's support for him at the Consecration Ceremony.

"Mr. Ye, Shouzhuo, in fact, the Heavenly Master and I have had exchanges about the election of the leader of Penglai. The Heavenly Master is unwilling to get involved. He has his own selfish motives, but he also considers maintaining the stability of the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

"If there is no orderly transmission of the Heavenly Master's position, there will inevitably be unrest in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so I hope you don't blame the Heavenly Master too much."

Zhang Shuwen said earnestly.

From the conversation between Wu Shouzhuo and Zhang Naichao, who can almost represent the will of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Shuwen can see that the Heavenly Master should not change his mind again.

At this point, all he can do is try to ease the relationship between the two sides.

At this time, Ye Xiao and Wu Shouzhuo were silent, and both of them were concentrating on thinking.

The current situation is almost unsolvable for them. Gao Qimei can provide the materials needed for the Heavenly Master to refine the elixir. Can they get the same one in just one week?

"Master Shuwen, there is only one week left for the Grand Consecration Ceremony. Can the Dragon-Tiger Pill made by the Heavenly Master be made in time?" After a long while, Ye Xiao's eyes flashed and he asked suddenly.

Since they could not make the same material to the Heavenly Master in a short time, Ye Xiao thought it would be a good idea to change his thinking and start from somewhere else.

In order not to make Zhang Shuwen suspicious, he tried to conceal his intentions and asked questions.

Zhang Shuwen pinched his fingers and calculated the time, "The Heavenly Master has been refining for forty-seven days. If the records in the ancient books are correct, the pill will be ready in two days."

"It should be no problem to catch up with the Grand Consecration Ceremony."

Zhang Shuwen did not doubt him and answered everything in detail.

After getting the answer, Ye Xiao raised some other questions about the Grand Consecration Ceremony one after another, disrupting Zhang Shuwen's thinking.

An hour later, the three of them had a lack of interest in lunch and left Jinghua Building separately.

On the way to Wu's house, Wu Shouzhuo looked at Ye Xiao meaningfully and said, "Mr. Ye, you are not planning to take the Dragon Tiger Pill again!"

BecauseBecause he was born in a political family, Wu Shouzhuo was not interested in politics, but he was more thoughtful than Zhang Shuwen.

Just now in the box, when Ye Xiao asked about the Dragon Tiger Pill, Wu Shouzhuo was a little suspicious whether Ye Xiao wanted to make a fuss about the Dragon Tiger Pill.

Combined with Ye Xiao's skills, it was hard for Wu Shouzhuo not to think that Ye Xiao was a skilled and bold man, and was ready to use some special means.

Ye Xiao grinned, "Mr. Wu, I do have an idea that is not yet mature, and I plan to discuss it with you and Mr. Wu."

Since Gao Qimei can use the materials for refining the Dragon Tiger Pill to force the Heavenly Master to agree to some of his conditions, why can't he follow suit?

If he gets the Dragon Tiger Pill, can't he also threaten the Heavenly Master and refuse to go along with Gao Qimei?

Ye Xiao also felt a little sad. When he learned from Wu Guozhang that Zhuge Lin was more concerned about the Dragon-Tiger Pill, he had thought about stealing the pill himself to repair the rift between him and Zhuge Lin.

At that time, Ye Xiao thought that his idea was too ridiculous. He just thought about it once and kicked it out of his mind, but he never thought that he would really steal the Dragon-Tiger Pill now.

But giving it to Zhuge Lin was not an option. According to his calculations, the pill would only pass through his hands once. After he had negotiated with the Heavenly Master, he would still return it intact.

At this time, although Ye Xiao's words did not state his intention, Wu Shouzhuo could not hear it.

Wu Shouzhuo could not help but speculate in his heart about the feasibility of doing so.

He did not doubt Ye Xiao's ability, but the Dragon-Tiger Pill was related to the transmission of the Heavenly Master's lineage. The Heavenly Master's Mansion would certainly keep a close watch on it. Even if Ye Xiao wanted to get it easily, he might not succeed.

If Ye Xiao failed, even if he was not caught, the Tianshi Mansion would be able to guess that it was their side that did it. In that case, even if they completely broke off relations with the Tianshi Mansion, the Tianshi would certainly support Gao Qimei without hesitation.

"Mr. Ye, you just heard that the Dragon Tiger Pill is very important to the Tianshi Mansion. I believe that it must be strictly guarded."

"There are many masters in the Tianshi Mansion, and there are also many people who are good at Taoism. I think we should take a long-term view on this matter and must not be reckless."

Wu Shouzhuo said sincerely.

He was not only worried about the impact of Ye Xiao's failure on his side, but also a little worried that Ye Xiao himself might be injured.

Although the two did not interact much, Ye Xiao was an extremely outstanding junior among the people Wu Shouzhuo had seen. In his opinion, Ye Xiao was not worth getting himself involved in something that was unlikely to be completed.
