Chapter 502 Joining the clues
“Alerted the Order?”
Yang Qing grew increasingly confused by the second. None of what he was told made any sense to him. He passed out without knowing, he thought it was only for a few minutes but it turned out he had been out for three days, then there was a bead in front of him said to have been formed personally by him.
However, the profundities involved in creating said bead were beyond his current understanding.
How could he create something, he didn’t have the abilities or know how to create? The power behind he could feel the waves were mildly stronger than what was released from the ascendant grade kun scale they had been given for their Ice Emerald Sect mission, though as per Yang Qing’s feelings, he felt it was slightly weaker than the saint grade treasure he had been given by Vice President Tao Wen.
He still found it hard to believe he created such a thing. However, the most confusing part was the connection he felt with the beads upended what he knew because even though he thought it was within his abilities to create something like that, the bead felt like it was a part of him.
And now, he was told he had alerted the Order to something, it was a bit too much to swallow.
Though for now what worried him the most, was the blank state of his memory.? For cultivators of his level that is one of the most frightening news one could get.
Whether you were unconscious for a second, for three days, or for a month, the amount of terror that would strike at you after realizing it had happened, would be the same.
The further up one grew as a cultivator, the more their body and soul changed. They were gradually being transformed. The diseases they used to get as mortals were no longer there, their bodies had more power to do things previously thought impossible like slicing through a small mountain or swimming in a pool of lava with no injuries to their bodies.
They had perfect control of their whole body, mind and soul, so things like having memory gaps, accidentally falling asleep or unconscious for even a second, down to even a sudden bodily change like sneezing, were big alarms to them, especially to those with higher cultivation bases, like Yang Qing who was in the palace realm.
Such changes meant your defenses had been breached, and something that could breach your defense could kill you just as easily. For them, a second was enough time to cause a fatal damage to someone, which was why Yang Qing was unnerved when he was told he had been sleeping for three days straight.
He wasn’t the one who initiated it and he couldn’t even remember why or how it happened. It was like his body had not been his own, which was a scary thought to him.
What if something like that happened again when he was out there, wouldn’t he be easy prey for anybody who passes him by?
“I can’t figure anything by obsessively worrying about it. Looking at their unworried looks it seems they have some idea…could it be?”
His gaze fell once more on the bead. The sun and the moon present on them seemed to match the one in his palace realm when he looked at them closely.
Intrinsically they seemed to be from the same mold, with the one from the bead being of a higher quality, but the foundation of it, Yang Qing could tell matched his palace realm.
His gaze then turned to his grandfather who had a look of worry on his face.
“The fact that he is here instead of my parents should mean it was done by design, and there is only one reason he would be called in..”
“Qing’er…”
“Don’t worry Grandpa, I’m okay now..” he said with a smile.
“Good..” Yang Fen cheeringly said.
“Valley master you were saying something about alerting the Order? I take it, it has to do with the fern locked in there..” Yang Qing said as he pointed to the shrunken fern restricted within the bead. ．
“Yes, it has to do with the fern. The main body has been made from the parts of a golden thread tree, which needs no explanation, and along with it was a cut vine from a saint-grade sanguine heart vine, after further analysis with a few from the spirit council, we found a few more things.
It had been coated with ash from fire ivory poplar and the blood from a wandering light swan was used, along with it were all kinds of arrays that looked to have been done by a versatile gold grade formation master…”
Yang Qing’s eyes almost popped when he heard all the things being mentioned by Valley Master Fan Ru.
Ren Shu at the side looked just as perplexed while his grandfather Yang Fen had contrasting emotions. He had a look of greed and enticement as he drooled over the bead.
Yang Qing shook his head sideways in exasperation when he saw this. It would be a lie if he said he expected his grandfather would react any differently to the revelation.
While they would be worried about the implications of such a machination, he on the other hand would more likely be wondering if he incorporated it into a body refining regimen and what kind of changes would it bring about.
For such a powerful combination, the results were likely to be great, and he wasn’t the only one who would think that way, the other elders from the Yang clan would be up there with him along with his brother, who liked to pretend he didn’t enjoy their experiments, but he did.
“The use of such quality materials, surely the one who created it should have left something to warn them in case of tampering right, how come the fern is still intact?” asked Yang Qing.
“Where did the fern come from?” he added.
“Where does your memory stop?” asked Ren Shu.
“At the foundation establishment seventeen year old boy from the silver rhino sect. Don’t tell me it came from him?! but there was nothing special about him or could there have been?” he asked in doubt
His experience from the Ice Emerald Sect had made him question everything he saw, then there was also the advice from Meng Chao before, to be careful with cultivators.
“I had him sent to the special inquisitors and Feng Lei didn’t find anything strange with the boy, his master, or his sect..”
“Then why would someone plant something of this level in him? Wait, don’t tell me…” Yang Qing’s eyes widened as they fell on Valley Master Fan Ru and Ren Shu.
