My Endless Life.

Chapter 221 Golden Elixir Channel
"…You mean to say that everything that happened in Linbian City recently is related to monsters?"

"Yes."

"Is it that... Patrol Envoy Li Zhen helped you find out all this, and after solving the incident, he left directly?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Inside the Liushenmen headquarters, the silver medal captain from Xiangzhou City was asking Jiang Ming about the details of what had happened in Linbian City during this period.

Jiang Ming concealed everything about Li Qi, and instead wrote about Li Zhen's affairs in great detail.

The silver policeman who came from Xiangzhou City didn't particularly believe what Jiang Ming said, but since it involved the patrol envoy, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

After confirming that Li Zhen, the patrol envoy, really existed, he took a deep breath and turned to ask about County Magistrate Qian:
"Let's not talk about Lord Li for now. Do you have any clues about the Holy Religion that Qian Yude mentioned?"

"No, although Lord Li has investigated it seriously, but..." Jiang Ming recalled Qian Yude's diary that Li Qi took away before leaving, paused for a moment and continued:
"…But Lord Li was unable to find out anything. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the active location of this holy religion was not in Da Qi."

"Is it an external demonic force? This is a bit troublesome."

The silver policeman frowned.

There is not only Da Qi in this world, there are other countries around Da Qi.

There are barbarians in the north, nomadic kingdoms in the northwest, a country with a culture similar to that of Da Qi in the southwest, and a country established in the overseas archipelago that is completely dominated by the magic cult.

Da Qi is the strongest country with the most prosperous martial arts, but it does not mean that Da Qi can suppress all the other powers and attract all nations to come and pay tribute.

Therefore, if it involves the forces of other countries, even the Six Gates will not have any good solution.

Silver Policeman rubbed his brows with a headache. After thinking for a while, he said:
"For the time being, let's sort out and report all the recent events in Linbian City. Whether it's a monster or something else, just leave it to the higher-ups to worry about it."

"Yes...So what do we do now?"

"Now, take me to see the bodies of those monsters. I want to see what those monsters you mentioned look like."

Although Inspector Li Zhen has left, it does not mean that everything is fine for the Six Gates.

They also had to carry out the final cleanup, at least to prevent those civil servants from finding any handle to use against them.

The monster corpses left here are the most powerful evidence for them to deal with those civil servants.

……

After resolving the issue in Linbian City, studying the monster's flesh and blood, and observing the reaction of the man who ate the golden elixir, Li Qi and his party successfully left Linbian City and headed towards Qiqiao Villa.

“…I didn’t expect Uncle Zhong to be by your side. No wonder you’re not afraid at all.”

In the carriage, Li Qiao drank the iced sour plum soup made by Li Qi, and glanced at Li Qi who was sitting next to her and reading the diary.

It was in vain that she was so worried about Li Qi's safety, but in the end she found out that he was the one who didn't need to worry about his safety the least.

After all, Zhong Bo is a well-known master on the Earth List, and his status as a master who is only one step away from the Grandmaster level is needless to say.

With him around, let alone encountering an ordinary innate master, even if he encounters a grandmaster, Li Qi will be able to escape.

On the contrary, Li Qiao does not have much protection. Perhaps the one who should really worry about his own safety is Li Qiao himself, not Li Qi.

“…Why does your tone sound a bit sour?”

Li Qi, who had some empathy with Li Qiao, could sense the bitterness in his sister's heart.

Li Qiao rolled her eyes and pointed at the kettle in her hand.

"Because I'm drinking sour plum soup!"

"…I don't think that's what I meant?"

"..." Li Qiao took a big sip of sour plum soup, glanced at Uncle Zhong who was driving in front, and whispered: "...Nothing, I just feel that Daddy really cares about you more than a girl like me."

"Dad is not a man who favors boys over girls. You think too much."

“It looks like this…”

Li Qiao muttered to herself.

But what is the reality?
Li Qiao looked at Li Qi secretly.

Although they are twins, it seems that both of them are given all the love from their parents equally.

But Li Qiao noticed that she and Li Qi were still different.

It's not a difference in talent or anything else, it's just a very subtle difference that can't be described.

In some things, parents should pay more attention to Li Qi rather than Li Qiao.

When going out, he would pay more attention to where Li Qi was going. When going on a long trip, he would also emphasize to Li Qi not to run around and to stay with Zhongbo.

I will care more about Li Qi when I am at home...

Li Qi may not have noticed these details, but Li Qiao did.

The family members care about Li Qi more than themselves... This is a fact that Li Qiao has realized.

However... Li Qiao was not jealous of Li Qi. After all, she was the older sister and Li Qi was the younger brother. Even though they were born close to each other, since Li Qiao had become the older sister, she had to be a good older sister.

Taking care of the younger ones, taking care of your own younger brother, is the right thing to do.

Li Qiao would not be jealous, she would just follow her family to take care of her younger brother.

But sometimes, Li Qiao still wants more attention from her parents. Li Qi couldn't guess what Li Qiao was thinking. Even though she was his soul, she had grown into a different person from him. Without unconventional means, he couldn't read Li Qiao's thoughts.

But Li Qi was not curious about this.

Seeing that Li Qiao was drinking 'Li Qi's special sour plum soup' and looking at the scenery after she finished speaking, Li Qi stopped paying attention and focused on the diary in his hand.

This is a diary or journal found in Qian Yude's study, which records some major and minor events that Qian Yude has experienced in recent years.

In fact, there are many more diary entries, all of which were recorded by Qian Yude after he came to Linbian City.

However, those diaries before coming into contact with the Holy Church were all ordinary trivial matters and not worth mentioning. Li Qi glanced through them and gave up after confirming that there was no key information. He only took the diary that recorded what happened in recent years.

In this diary, Qian Yude wrote about his acquaintance with He Ru and how he got the golden elixir from He Ru.

Just as rumors spread in Linbian Town, Qian Yude met the then courtesan He Ru when he went to a brothel for a social event.

Then, somehow, he fell in love with her at first sight, and soon after, he redeemed her and made He Ru his personal maid.

But not long after coming into contact with He Ru, He Ru revealed her identity to Qian Yude.

Lai is actually a member from the overseas Demon Island, backed by the holy religion of "Shengxian Sect".

The overseas demon islands are archipelagos where demonic bandits gather. They gather together to form a small country where demons are rampant. Many demon sects in Da Qi are related to them.

Shengxian Sect is one of them.

They are a small sect that has flourished recently, but even though it is a small sect, they have special techniques that are different from other sects.

Golden elixir.

The golden elixir was something that the left envoy of the Shengxian Sect took out according to the order of the sect leader.

It possesses a magical item that can allow people to gain superhuman powers and gradually approach the legendary gods.

No one knew how it was made, and He Ru didn't understand it either, but she could confirm that the golden elixir could indeed give people powerful strength.

Even an ordinary person like Qian Yude, as long as he has the qualifications and talent, can become a congenital master by taking the golden elixir, and may even be able to rival the grandmaster in the future.

Qian Yude didn't believe it at first, but when he saw He Ru's golden elixir, he was fascinated by it in an instant, as if it had a kind of magical power different from ordinary people.

When Qian Yude swallowed the golden elixir, he felt that all his fatigue was instantly cleared away and his body became stronger. After being tested a few days later, he actually had the strength of a ninth-grade warrior!

It is very difficult to train a warrior to the third level. If one cannot find the way, it may take a lifetime of training to barely acquire the strength of a warrior.

Even for the most talented person, it would take more than a month to go from the middle class to the ninth rank.

But only a few days after Qian Yude swallowed the golden elixir, he already had the strength of the ninth rank.

From then on, Qian Yude was completely obsessed with the golden elixir, converted to the Holy Religion, and became a "manager" of the Holy Religion in the territory of Da Qi.

Because his cultivation level at that time was only at the acquired level, he was just in charge.

If one can be promoted to the innate realm, he can become a guardian.

In the following years, Qian Yude, who swallowed more and more golden elixirs, gradually lost his human form. His body became huge and his appearance resembled that of a wild boar.

Qian Yude had already realized that something was wrong at that time, but he was unable to stop.

He even felt that he was in a very good state and that he was supposed to be like this, the future 'Pig Fairy'!
The situation did not improve until He Ru died.

The moment He Ru died, Qian Yude's mind suddenly became much clearer. He then realized that He Ru had been influencing him all along.

By doing those things.

That is why after He Ru's death, Qian Yude would do everything he could to improve himself, because he understood that if He Ru died, he would be the next one.

Not just because of Li Qi, but also because of the Holy Church.

In fact, he had never entered the core of the Holy Church. The protector of the Holy Church here was He Ru, not him.

Once He Ru died, he, who had not completely transformed into a human form, would be a failure, and the Holy Church would not allow a failure to live.

This is his last diary. After writing this, he went to improve himself. Then Li Qi came to him and he was beheaded by Li Qi and died.

"Shengxian Sect..."

Everything is clear now.

The real mastermind behind all this is the Shengxian Sect, including the golden elixir that Li Qi wanted, which was also developed by the Shengxian Sect.

Therefore, if you want to know the materials for making the golden elixir, you may need to go overseas to find the Shengxian Sect.

But places like that overseas are very dangerous, and Li Qi will probably have to wait until he reaches the Grandmaster level before he can go and explore.

However, you don’t have to go overseas to know the secret of the golden elixir.

Li Qi thought about it and turned his attention back to the diary in his hand.

Qian Yude mentioned in his diary that occasionally, He Ru would leave the county government office and go somewhere unknown.

When he came back, he had golden pills for them to take.

Therefore, Qian Yude guessed that in addition to He Ru, there were other members of the Shengxian Sect in the territory of Da Qi.

And that person is He Ru's 'golden elixir supplier'!
