Chapter 469
While waiting, Han Shu and Su Yun chatted.
As they were talking, Han Shu thought of Dong Jiashuang, whom he had discussed with Su Yun earlier, and whispered, "Do you know that Dong Jiashuang came to the Alchemist Pavilion in person yesterday?"
"Oh, it must be to prepare the medicinal materials for refining pills."
Su Yun said casually.
The other party is a mid-level alchemist, which is normal.
However, Han Shu waved his hand and said, "No."
“He came to buy some elixirs that still have an effect on the mind.”
"As for alchemy, I don't think he's even considering it. I chatted with him for a bit, and it seemed like he had no intention of delving deeper into the art of alchemy."
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Su Yun was somewhat surprised.
Dong Jiashuang had a very strong interest in alchemy before, and even asked him for advice in order to gain knowledge about alchemy.
But now he's not planning to continue down the path of alchemy?
Han Shu continued, "After Dong Jiashuang came out this time, her speech and behavior seemed to have changed. She always seemed a little different from before."
"But something is strange, though I can't quite put my finger on it. I wonder if it's because my cultivation damaged my divine sense and caused some changes."
The two had a fairly good relationship, so Han Shu and Su Yun spoke their minds freely.
However, what was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.
After hearing what Han Shu said, Su Yun frowned.
He had a feeling that something was wrong...
He thought for a moment and asked, "When exactly will Senior Brother Dong emerge from seclusion?"
Even a small hint from a direct disciple is enough to let many disciples know, so finding out when the other person will emerge from seclusion is very easy.
Han Shu thought for a moment and said, "It seems to have been just over ten days ago, no more than half a month ago."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun narrowed his eyes even more.
A rather bold guess formed in his mind.
Dong Jiashuang emerged from seclusion not long after Song Ran was killed.
After emerging from seclusion, the other party suddenly began to cultivate his spiritual consciousness, and his behavior changed. He even stopped caring about the alchemy he had previously been obsessed with.
It's like he's become a completely different person...
Could it be that the old monster's divine consciousness ultimately possessed Dong Jiashuang?!
This guess made his heart race slightly, and he was somewhat surprised.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence!
However, the other party is the Third Elder's personal disciple. How could the Third Elder, who is at the Life Palace Realm, not have noticed that the old monster possessed Dong Jiashuang?
Thinking about this, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "I'm probably overthinking it."
"What do you mean, 'overthinking'?"
Han Shu was somewhat puzzled.
"No."
Su Yun waved his hand.
However, the next moment, an even more astonishing idea popped into his mind.
The Third Elder may have sensed it, but he didn't do anything about it...
He recalled that the old monster was a True Fire Realm expert in his previous life, and might have some connection with the current elders.
Their relationship...disciple? Martial uncle? Or even master and disciple?
Anything is possible!
Of course, it's also possible that the old man hid it very well and wasn't noticed by the Third Elder.
In short, he couldn't determine which possibility it was.
"This is bad."
After receiving his spirit stones, Su Yun pondered on his way back.
If it is true that he was possessed by the old monster, then it proves that Dong Jiashuang's previous problems and seclusion must also be related to the old monster.
"Could it be that Dong Jiashuang was secretly framed by him, and was kept as a backup body by him..."
The thought sent chills down Su Yun's spine.
This old fellow at the True Fire Realm is truly unfathomable; it's not surprising that he has a backup plan.
"It seems we can't stay at the Tianyang Sect any longer."
"It's time to put a trip to Mingyuan Ancient City on the agenda."
Su Yun took a deep breath.
These are all just speculations.
But his intuition has always been very accurate, so it should be pretty close to the truth.
Even if it's wrong, it's a wise move for him to stay away from the church; it won't do him any harm.
So he went to the Resource Pavilion and used a large amount of spirit stones to buy about a few kilograms of Earth Milk Essence.
He no longer has time to search for and explore the essence of earth milk one by one, so he spends spirit stones to buy it.
