In modern scientific terms, that would be—
Yuehen chuckled softly, recalling the Void Realm that the two immortals had displayed when they saved the little bird Totori.
[A reality distortion field capable of interfering with causality within its range, tilting it in one's favor!]
Li Sushang: 【！！！？？？】
Interference with...cause and effect!?

283
Chapter 283 Could it possibly be related to the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings?
In the dim and secluded space, the scattered lights illuminated only a handful of shadows in this area.
The saying goes, "Talented people emerge in prison."
This is where the Immortal Ship imprisons those who have committed heinous crimes.
The mortal enemies of the Immortal Ship are usually sentenced to death, but there are always some who are difficult to eliminate due to their special abilities or special identities, so they are placed at the bottom of the Nether Prison and imprisoned for eternity.
Jing Yuan walked to a cell, raised his hand, and dismissed the jailers following behind him.
Standing with his hands behind his back in front of the door, Jingyuan looked through the iron bars at the figure bound inside:
"A core member of the Star Core Hunters, the deputy of the Fate Slave Elio, a wanted criminal whom even the company couldn't handle, how could you be so easily lured out and arrested? I'm really curious, what is your relationship with Qiong and Xing?"
"you guess?"
Despite having her wrists and ankles bound by the law ropes, her strength locked, and her entire being like a lamb to the slaughter with no ability to resist, the purple-haired beauty in the prison still wore an elegant and composed smile.
Clearly, she was already quite used to going to jail.
"Oh."
As expected, Jing Yuan's lion-like eyes narrowed slightly as he switched his thought process to the state he used when communicating with Qiong, and slowly opened them.
"You are their mother."
"...?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kafka, who always had a smile on her face even when she entered the Netherworld, paused slightly, revealing a little surprise.
No, it's one thing for Xingbao and Qiongbao to go crazy.
How could you, a dignified general of Luofu, actually believe that?
Perhaps it was the mention of the starry sky that softened Kaffa's face, which exuded a seductive, criminal aura like a poppy; a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Hehe, if I say that I am, what advice would you have for me, General?"
"It seems your parenting skills are quite good. The child you raised is benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, trustworthy, filial, and courageous, possessing both virtue and honor."
Jing Yuan's tone was relatively relaxed, but Kafka inexplicably sensed a sarcastic tone.
"Did you come here just to ask me this?"
"After all, you are a prisoner that the Shence Mansion bought with 30 billion yuan. It would be great if we could get as much information as possible out of you."
Jingyuan maintained the same logical pattern of communication as Qiong.
This time, Kafka remained silent.
It's so strange to discuss this topic with General Xianzhou!
Moreover, Kafka sensed that Jingyuan in front of her was slightly different from the Shence General in the intelligence.
"General, don't you want to ask about the star core?"
Kafka, with her charming and mature face, had a kind expression and a relaxed smile.
"No need."
Jing Yuange shook his head.
“You are a wanted criminal who is skilled at using the magic of words to disturb people’s minds. Even if your power is suppressed at the moment, I do not believe that your words have any credibility whatsoever.”
Kaffa's ability to manipulate people's hearts is one of the reasons for her notoriety.
“Once Fu Qing repairs the Qiong Guan Formation, your purpose will be exposed.”
In this matter, whatever judgment Jing Yuan makes, he needs to verify it by thoroughly observing the results of the formation.
"In comparison, I'd rather know something about your two 'children'."
It's possible that he might use strange methods to lure his master into becoming his grandmaster, and Jing Yuan would stay in Bengbu whenever he thought of it.
He happened to be very interested in the relationship between Kafka and Starry Sky, so he came over to see if he could find out anything.
"Oh my, I never expected that the General would be so interested in my family affairs."
Kafka smiled and said, "These things weren't written in the script."
Not writing it down means she can improvise.
"However, whether for public or private reasons, I can tell you in advance that they are the key to breaking the future and destiny, the most critical variable in the universe."
Kafka's smile faded, and she said seriously:
"—These are Elio's exact words."
Before long, as Jing Yuan left the secret room, the cell fell silent again.
After communicating with Kafka, Jingyuan confirmed that her relationship with Xingqiong was definitely not simple; they were not biological mother and son, and their relationship was somewhat delicate.
As for the slaves of fate, Jing Yuan didn't care much, he just wrote it down.
Stepping out of the prison and into the outside world, Jing Yuan looked at the message sent by Fu Xuan on the jade projection and smiled.
[General, the various formations of the Grand Diviner have been repaired. The Great Observation Formation will be fully restored tomorrow, at which time the Star Core Hunter can be interrogated.]
[I knew this little thing wouldn't be a problem for Fu Qing. Luo Fu will have to rely on Fu Qing's expertise a lot in the future!]
Jing Yuan would often say nice things to Fu Xuan and make empty promises.
As he pondered, he concluded that the Star Core had nothing to do with the Hunter.
It's not that I trust Kafka, but the Star Core Hunter has no reason to lie. Kafka knows about the ability to observe the array, so delaying for this little bit of time is useless.
But if it wasn't the Star Core Hunter who brought the Star Core, then who was it?
And then there's the increasingly rampant Medicine King's Secret Teachings. The Pharmacist's lackeys haven't even set foot on the Immortal Ship. So who is it that gives these villains the confidence to leave the shadows?
Although Jing Yuan entrusted Qiong with the investigation, to be honest, Jing Yuan did not have high hopes for Qiong.
The Medicine King's secret teachings have been lurking in the Immortal Ship for thousands of years, and he is extremely cautious in his actions.
To avoid the Shence Mansion discovering any clues, members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect often communicated using the most primitive form of letters, bypassing the Jade Sign Network, which was completely under the control of the Immortal Boat.
The swarms of flat-shelled worms, distributed in various ways, are impossible to eradicate completely; they simply keep growing back.
Kafka and Xingqiong have a close relationship, which is why the two of them were able to capture her so easily. Could Xingqiong possibly be related to the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings?
Jing Yuan was quite satisfied that Qiong was able to find one or two branches of the Medicine King's Secret Sect and obtain some important clues during this period of widespread emergence of the Medicine King's Secret Sect.
"Eh."
Jingyuan sighed as he caught the drifting, withered leaves in his hand.
He was indeed quite old; by his age, nine out of ten ordinary people on the Immortal Ship would have been possessed by demonic possession.
Not to mention that Jing Yuan, who was once one of the Five Heroes of the Clouds, has experienced various setbacks, but for the future of the Immortal Ship, Jing Yuan still has to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Amidst these reflections, the jade omen in Jingyuan's hand once again sent a message.
The sender's ID is: [I am Ms. Kagami's dog~!]
Seeing this, Jing Yuan's lips twitched. He immediately went to the settings and changed the name of this ID to "Qiong".
Yu Zhao projected a clear interface, and Qiong sent a message containing an image.
On the young man's outstretched palm lay a jade pendant that looked warm and smooth, with a slightly strange color.
The jade plaque is engraved with images of elixirs, and the surface of the elixirs has a texture resembling ginkgo leaves.
Jing Yuan waited for a while, but when he didn't get any further explanation from Qiong, he had no choice but to ask her himself.
[Real-name Internet Access (Jing Yuan): Qiong, how's the investigation going? Is it going smoothly? What is this jade pendant?]
However, when Jing Yuan sent the message, Qiong did not reply.
Jing Yuan smiled, sighed silently, his eyes filled with melancholy. He suppressed his rising blood pressure, edited a new message, and sent it.
[Online with real name: Master, may I ask what this jade pendant is?]
This time, Qiong replied very quickly.
[Qiong: The investigation went very smoothly. I'm now a high-ranking member of the Medicine King's Secret Technique. Q-version Star with hands on hips, proud JPG]
[Qiong: As for this jade token, it is the token of the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings. It contains information about approximately one-quarter of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings and the corresponding person in charge.]
[Qiong: I can use it to mobilize the Medicine King's secret organization to a certain extent.]
[Qiong: How about it? Jingyuan, isn't your Chicken Brother... ugh, your Grandmaster amazing?]
The last sentence was a voice message, but Jingyuan seemed not to hear it.
What the fuck!?
Jing Yuan was now completely bewildered.
The higher-ups of the Medicine King's secret lineage?
A leader's token containing information about its members?
So you really do have connections with the leader!
The amount of information contained in Qiong's few words was so immense that even Jing Yuan, who possessed the title of Divine Strategist, was momentarily stunned, but he quickly recovered.
[Real-name Internet Access: You really succeeded in infiltrating the Medicine King's secret lineage... and even became a high-ranking member?]
Jing Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
The Shence Mansion had previously planted spies in the Medicine King's Secret Manual, but they all never returned.
One of the Cloud Riders risked his life to pass on some information: the process of new recruits joining the organization, which the Shence Mansion had just obtained from the Medicine King's secret teachings, involved several months of brainwashing. The elite Cloud Riders could withstand it, but the food that triggered the Demon Yin Body was something almost no one could endure!
How did Qiong manage to do that?
Isn't it supposed to be a six-month newcomer period?
How long has it been?
And how did he suddenly become a high-level executive?
Jing Yuan had so many questions he wanted to ask, but before he could ask, Qiong's messages kept popping up.
[Qiong: Besides that, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?]
Jing Yuan was surprised and pondered for a moment.
[Real-name Internet Access: Let's hear the good news first.]
At this moment, Luofu is fraught with crisis and undercurrents are surging. Jing Yuanting really wants to hear some exciting good news to dispel the recent gloom.
[Qiong: I met the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings. We had a pleasant conversation, and she didn't suspect me. I learned her identity.]
[Real-name internet access: This is truly fantastic news!]
Jing Yuan was overjoyed and surprised. He never expected that Qiong would not only receive the token, but also meet with the leader!
The Shence Bureau relaxed its investigation into the leader of the Medicine King, but it obtained almost no useful information.
Unexpectedly, Qiong actually found the other party's true identity directly!
Jing Yuan's evaluation of Qiong's abilities rose again, but suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
The premonition came true the next second.
[Qiong: Now that the good news is over, let's hear the bad news.]
[Qiong: The mastermind behind the Medicine King's secret teachings is the current genius chief physician of the Pill Cauldron Division, acting head of the Pill Cauldron Division, and Pill Pivot Master.]
Um! ?
