Lingsha: I Have Everything I Need Now! / After the Heart-to-Heart, I Look Around with My Sword Drawn, Lost
"This girl has been using the alias Danzhu all these years, cultivating in seclusion with Lord Yanting. You're in for a lot of work from now on."
Huai Yan looked at Jing Yuan and spoke more casually.
"Now that the Demon King's Secret Transmission have been uprooted and the Alchemy Commission has been cleansed of impurities, I have fewer concerns and can speak frankly about some things."
It's just a pity that Yun Hua has already passed away in the Zhu Ming..."
Jing Yuan spoke casually, but his words inevitably carried a hint of melancholy.
Was Yun Hua wrong?
From her perspective, she might be right; she could directly solve the problem of the Chiming Clan.
But her correctness pushed Jing Yuan to the brink of a decision, forcing him to suppress his resentment and make a fair, even biased, choice...
"How chaotic are the affairs of the world?"
Jing Yuan sighed, but didn't dwell on it further. Instead, he smiled and looked at Huai Yan.
"Although the calamity of Phantylia has passed, there is someone who should have left long ago but is still in contact with me. Would General Huai Yan like to meet him?"
Chapter 937 Ling Sha: I have everything I need now!
Although Jing Yuan said he would ask Ling Sha to clean up the mess in the Alchemy Commission before they parted ways, Fu Xuan actually called Ling Sha, the new Alchemy Commission Cauldron Master, before they even left the Divine Might Palace.
After a brief self-introduction and getting to know Ling Sha, the dutiful Grand Diviner Fu Ling Sha her numerous documents—
Although Phantylia caused the Jianmu to revive and the people of Luofu to panic, the real troubles that ultimately occurred to Luofu were merely the prelude to what had been prepared beforehand, such as the rebellion caused by the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus teachings, and there were no further losses.
General Jing Yuan was not infused with anything destructive by Phantylia. He sat high in the Divine Might Palace, overseeing the overall situation. Fu Xuan and the other six emperors of Luofu were also able to devote enough energy to investigating the many previous upheavals.
"It seems this job is much simpler than I imagined."
Looking at the confidential documents still being transmitted one by one, Ling Sha chuckled softly and glanced at Gwen beside her.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple."
Gwen reminded him.
"Of course, but with these things, there's no need to start from scratch."
Ling Sha chuckled softly, a resolute glint flashing deep within her smiling eyes—
Her master, Yun Hua, once wanted to eliminate the long-standing problems in the Alchemy Commission, but was exiled to the Zhuming Xianzhou by Jing Yuan of the Divine General, where he died in despair.
Now, she has returned to the Xianzhou Luofu and taken over the chaotic Luofu Alchemy Commission, determined to complete the unfinished work of her master.
Now, he has information from the Divination Department on one hand, and a powerful fighter who has received the blessing of the Emperor Bow God and whose combat strength is at least equal to that of General of Heavenly Strike Fei Xiao in some aspects, and who also has a righteous cause to uphold.
This time, no one can stop her!
Gwen naturally saw the determination hidden beneath Ling Sha's smile and chuckled—
"It seems Miss Ling Sha is already impatient, so let's begin—"
Whether it's interrogating people or convicting and executing them, there are no taboos.
However... please consider this carefully before making a decision.
"Um..."
Hearing Gwen's words, Ling Sha's eyes narrowed slightly, and she stopped to look at Gwen—
"This concerns the entire Alchemy Commission, and even the Demon King's Secret Transmission that have lurked in the shadows of Luofu for hundreds of years. Completely eradicating them truly requires careful planning..."
As she spoke, Ling Sha paused, turned her head slightly, and revealed a mischievous smile—
"Since we are going to cooperate to eliminate this scourge, could you tell me some of your expertise, sir?"
So that I can make proper plans.
"There is nothing wrong with that."
Gwen and Ling Sha looked at each other, and Gwyn could see a deep thought and probing in Ling Sha's bright eyes. He couldn't help but find it amusing.
Clearly, this new Alchemy Commission Cauldron Master, who has experienced many ups and downs and whose life experience is probably more than ten times that of the other, also has his own calculations.
Even after Gwen provided a limited overview of his abilities, and even with some relatively stringent conditions for their implementation, Ling Sha was still overjoyed.
She was already surprised enough to have a capable helper, but now that this helper can not only act as a fighter but also play many other roles, she was overjoyed.
She has everything she needs now!
So, despite the suggestion to take things slowly, Ling Sha, after working for two days and two nights straight to finish all the materials sent by Fu Xuan, invited Gwen over late the next night.
"Although the affairs of the Alchemy Commission are important, don't exhaust yourself."
Without you as the Cauldron Master, the reorganization of the Alchemy Commission will undoubtedly face even more trouble.
Seeing the dark circles under Ling Sha's eyes that even the combined benefits of the Chiming Clan and Pathstrider couldn't suppress, Gwen, who had just arrived, couldn't help but offer some advice.
"As long as the Alchemy Commission remains uneasy, the chaos in Luofu cannot be quelled. This is what I, as the Cauldron Master, should do."
Ling Sha shook her head, gave a small yawn, then tilted her head slightly, leaned forward a little, and said playfully—
"Moreover, the Ling Sha business has been completed. What remains is for you to apprehend the suspect, interrogate him, or transfer him to the Ten-Lords Commission."
"That's what I say, but when we get new information, you'll still be busy..."
Gwen shook his head and tapped Ling Sha's forehead with his hand.
"Huh?"
Feeling instantly refreshed, as if all her previous fatigue had vanished, Ling Sha blinked and looked curiously at Gwen—
"Sir, you possess such wondrous skills?"
"A little trick to boost your spirits, but you'll sleep better and longer afterwards."
Gwen stopped, glancing meaningfully at Ling Sha—
The girl's fatigue was feigned... or rather, she wasn't that tired—at least not to the point where her dark circles were so severe they couldn't be suppressed.
As for the purpose...
"The kind that won't even react if you shout loudly right next to your ear."
"Oh...
"Then I'll have to trouble you to protect me at that time..."
Ling Sha pursed her lips, showing no embarrassment at being caught out. As if she truly agreed with Gwen's words, her smile was full of trust, and she even revealed two small dimples.
"... Please wait a moment."
After exchanging a fleeting glance with Ling Sha, Gwen shook his head almost imperceptibly and vanished from her sight.
"...
Call..."
After Gwen disappeared for about ten seconds, Ling Sha finally let out a soft breath and raised her hand to rub her cheek.
"It seems we're still a bit too eager for quick success..."
He wasn't a completely naive warrior; his thinking was a bit simplistic...
Stay calm... stay calm... even if you have other requests, you must show the necessary sincerity and genuine care..."
By the time dawn broke, some people in the Alchemy Commission were already filled with unease.
Everyone noticed that many familiar faces were missing, but no one received any related information.
Even healers who had no connection to the Demon King's Secret Transmission couldn't help but feel uneasy, worried that they might be implicated.
Just when the Alchemy Commission was in a state of panic and most of the doctors were not in the mood to do their jobs, a graceful figure walked into the Alchemy Commission and gathered all the doctors together.
The newly Alchemy Commission the Cauldron Master has officially taken office.
And the first of these three fires of a new official taking office was to burn down the Demon King's Secret Transmission, which had been entrenched in the Alchemy Commission for hundreds of years and had been resurrected.
Some applauded this, while others felt a deep sense of empathy.
However, before the doctors and civil servants of the Alchemy Commission could digest this news, which was like a bolt from the blue, Ling Sha ordered the Cloud Cavalry who came with her to arrest more than a dozen of them. They were all fugitives who had escaped from the net during the interrogation that morning. The evidence was conclusive, leaving them speechless.
Some were thrilled by this, while others resigned on the spot, perhaps because they were utterly exhausted, or perhaps because they saw how ruthless the new Cauldron Master was, or perhaps... they wanted to test whether this young girl who had left Luofu in disgrace with the former Cauldron Master Yun Hua, could handle the vast Alchemy Commission.
Ling Sha accepted all resignations from those who had served in the Alchemy Commission Refining Department during her master's time, making the vast Alchemy Commission seem to be absorbing even more people.
Chapter 939 After the Confession, Drawing the Sword and Looking Around, Feeling Lost
But after issuing these resignations, Ling Sha produced a stack of files and, to the astonishment of many, continued the unfinished work of his predecessor Cauldron Master Yun Hua.
All dissent was suppressed, and those accused seemed to have lost their souls, confessing on the spot and admitting to what had happened back then.
The two fires, while invigorating those in the Alchemy Commission who were truly dedicated to healing and waking those who had been complacent, also reduced the Alchemy Commission's workforce to almost nothing.
Although Ling Sha also felt the same way, she did not show it. Instead, she took this opportunity to revise a series of outdated rules and regulations and establish new procedures. Once fully implemented, these procedures would surely bring about a fresh start to the entire Luofu Alchemy Commission.
"This is the third fire."
We must weed out the dross and retain the essence, cultivating trustworthy physicians from scratch, restoring justice and clarity to Alchemy Commission and all patients in Luofu.
Jing Yuan smiled as he looked at Ling Sha and clapped his hands gently.
"Thus, the new Cauldron Master has all three fires in hand."
However, since this is almost starting from scratch, Ling Sha's work will be much more demanding from now on.
Moreover, although today we have severed the many restrictions and hidden branches that have entangled the Alchemy Commission, preventing them from enveloping the Alchemy Commission again is not a simple matter.
"Now that I have taken on this task, I must set things right and prevent the Alchemy Commission from becoming a place of filth and corruption."
Ling Sha's voice was clear and crisp, filled with heartfelt words, but the intense gaze she cast at Jing Yuan made no attempt to conceal its ulterior motive.
"As for how to prevent the Alchemy Commission flesh from regenerating, it's nothing more than nipping it in the bud and never letting the Demon King's Secret Transmission rise from the ashes again."
"Oh..."
Facing Ling Sha's burning gaze, Jing Yuan chuckled and told Yanqing beside him to step back, leaving only Jing Yuan, Ling Sha, and Gwen who had come with Ling Sha.
"Preventing problems before they arise..."
That's a good idea, but... good intentions don't always guarantee the right thing to do..."
Jing Yuan sighed softly, his gaze turning solemnly to Ling Sha—
"The Alchemy Commission is in such a hurry, it must be because of what happened back then, right?"
"...
For the sake of stability in Luofu, the general weighed all parties and exiled my master to the Zhuming Xianzhou. The general had his reasons.
Ling Sha privately felt that it was somewhat inappropriate to simply sit idly by and watch the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus be revived in the Alchemy Commission, only to have them burned to ashes once more.
While eradicating the lesions once they have accumulated is certainly effective, how much of the body's vital energy will be consumed in the process, and how much pain will this body, which could have done so much more, suffer?
Faced with Jing Yuan's seemingly meaningful words, Ling Sha's eyes remained calm and unmoved.
"As a doctor, Ling Sha still believes that it is the right thing to treat illnesses as early as possible when they appear, strengthen the body, and take preventative measures."
"Oh...
That's definitely the case...
Looking at Ling Sha, who was still avoiding direct conflict that would leave both sides with no way out, and instead choosing to use the human body and injuries as metaphors, Jing Yuan smiled helplessly.
"But is it possible that the medicine used for early treatment was itself highly poisonous?"
Seeing Ling Sha's furrowed brows, Jing Yuan didn't wait for her to speak and continued,
"You said I couldn't bear to cut flesh from the Alchemy Commission to treat the poison, but you sent the healer who wanted to save him to the Zhuming Xianzhou..."
Did your teacher tell you...?
Driven by her own wishful thinking, did she take advantage of a visit to perform a medical technique on the then-reincarnated Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, Lord of the Lunar Sea, granting him the ability to recall his past life's Remembrance and knowledge?
"What did you say?"
Just moments ago, Ling Sha was aggressive and domineering, but upon hearing this, she swayed, her face suddenly turning pale, and she looked at Jing Yuan in disbelief.
Seeing this, Jing Yuan was once again certain that Ling Sha was unaware of this matter, and had no choice but to tell her the story from back then.
"Many acts of kindness that benefit others, if acted rashly without considering the overall situation, will only be the beginning of disaster."
If the patient is allergic to the medicinal ingredient, even the simplest decoction cannot be taken with a single drop.
"In that case... I must thank the General for protecting my teacher with a decree of exile..."
