17
00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:14,380

Although we failed to get the Fire Cicada,

26

30
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,840
By the way, Coroner Feng,

31
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:44,400
do you know the old man

32
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,020
we met in the Ghost Market?

33
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,400
I don't.

34
00:03:53,710 --> 00:03:55,630
Then why did he target us?

35
00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:59,430
He...

36
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,840
The Ghost Market

37
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,300
is full of desperate criminals

38
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:05,000
and outlaws.

39
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,960
Evil is second nature to them,

40
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,430
so nothing they do

41
00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:08,890
should come as a surprise.

42
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,640
That's right.

43
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,650
He came straight in asking for

44
00:04:13,650 --> 00:04:14,590
one of your eyes.

45
00:04:14,710 --> 00:04:16,170

Trading your eye?

49
00:04:22,270 --> 00:04:23,600
Have you lost your mind?

50
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:25,050
He did ask,

51
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:25,940
but it's not like

52
00:04:25,940 --> 00:04:27,360
he really wanted my eye.

53
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,400

54
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,760
are you absolutely sure
you don't know him?

55
00:04:37,870 --> 00:04:39,040
I truly don't.

56
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:40,659
It's just I saw he was hiding poison

57
00:04:40,659 --> 00:04:41,360
in his hand,

58
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,800
so I wanted to stop him.

59
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,360
But my martial skills are too weak,

60
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:45,750
so I failed to stop him.

61

Fortunately, you arrived just in time.

Otherwise, today, we would've...

63
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:52,560
It's all my fault.

64
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,780
I shouldn't have taken you
to the Ghost Market.

65
00:04:54,780 --> 00:04:56,510
I was the one who insisted on going.

66

Old Bug

What do you mean?

87
00:06:56,510 --> 00:06:57,750

How do you prove it?

92
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,180
The reason

93
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,630
why I know about
the existence of red crystal

94
00:07:05,630 --> 00:07:07,310
is that I clearly remember

95
00:07:07,310 --> 00:07:09,570
its documentation in the Yin-Yang Book.

96
00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:10,890

98
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:13,950
was all recorded in the Yin-Yang Book,

When will you teach me the Yin-Yang Book?

104

This acupoint causes slight pain.

105
00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:36,920
Got it?

106
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:39,310
The reason why he killed my master

107
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,159
was to steal the Yin-Yang Book.

108
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,750
But my Master

109
00:07:42,750 --> 00:07:43,830
had already given

110
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:44,750
that book to me,

111
00:07:44,830 --> 00:07:46,750
so Old Bug failed to get it.

112
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,530
So you're saying

113
00:07:49,070 --> 00:07:51,070
the red crystal is connected to
the Poison Valley?

114
00:07:51,070 --> 00:07:52,240
Since we found red crystal

115
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,510
in Huo Zongyao’s body,

116
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,750
I've been suspecting
it was related to Poison Valley.

117
00:07:55,750 --> 00:07:56,950
But the process of
refining red crystal

118
00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:58,000
is extremely complex,

119
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,510
achievable only by supreme experts.

120
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:01,160
Even I can't pull it off.

121
00:08:01,830 --> 00:08:03,030
And in Poison Valley,

122
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:03,910
nowadays, only

123
00:08:03,910 --> 00:08:04,670
Old Bug

124
00:08:04,690 --> 00:08:05,800
can refine it.

125
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,510
So Old Bug is very likely

126
00:08:08,510 --> 00:08:09,560
connected to Yesha.

127
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,310
Old Bug is completely rotten,

128
00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:13,000
capable of any evil deed.

129
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:14,860
It's a pity that

130
00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:17,560
he got away last night.

131
00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:20,480
As long as he's still in the capital,

132
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,010
we have a chance to find him.

133
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:27,030
About your identity,

134
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,290
don't you plan to let them know?

135
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,370
Someone from Poison Valley

136
00:08:39,669 --> 00:08:41,470
can't possibly be a good person.

137
00:08:41,890 --> 00:08:43,820
Aren't you a good person yourself?

138
00:08:46,030 --> 00:08:46,790
Not everyone

139
00:08:46,820 --> 00:08:48,270
thinks like you do.

140
00:08:48,370 --> 00:08:49,960
Trust between people

141
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,170
is naturally hard to establish

142
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,960
but easy to dissipate.

143
00:08:54,670 --> 00:08:56,670
I don't want them to misunderstand.

144
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,130
As a friend,

145
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,120
I respect your decision.

146
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,030
But

147
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,670
you can't keep a secret forever.

148
00:09:04,670 --> 00:09:05,840
If one day,

149
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:07,840
they discover your true identity,

150
00:09:07,910 --> 00:09:10,310
the misunderstanding could be even worse.

151
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,690
Let me think about it some more.

152
00:09:18,270 --> 00:09:20,600
Miss Huo, what's this about?

153
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,000
My mother was accused of a crime,

154
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360
so her body was supposed to
be held for investigation.

155
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Being able to bury her
before the investigation

156
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,480
was all thanks to
the Elite Constabulary Unit's help.

157
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Constable Zhong, if you refuse this meal,

158
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,200
I would feel terribly guilty.

159
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,960
The deceased deserve respect.

160
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,420
Miss Huo, you're too kind.

161
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,910
But I believe you didn't ask me

162
00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:41,360
to come today

163
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,600
simply for a meal, right?

164
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,720
If there's something you want to say,
please go ahead.

165
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,840
There is something

166
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,200
I'd like you to take a look at,
Constable Zhong.

167
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,800
The Huo household's ledger?

168
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,360
This ledger

169
00:10:04,510 --> 00:10:05,870
was previously managed by Mrs. Huo

170
00:10:05,870 --> 00:10:07,000
and Li Xiao.

171
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,630
I've just taken over,

172
00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:10,750
and while reviewing the accounts,

173
00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:12,720
I discovered some peculiarities.

174
00:10:16,270 --> 00:10:18,000
If there are issues with
the Huo household's accounts,

175
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,030
why come to me?

176
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,550
Every six months,

177
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:23,750
there's a large sum of money transferred
into the Huo household's account.

178
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:25,360
The money has been transferred

179
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,270
from Guangsha Villa in the suburbs.

180
00:10:26,270 --> 00:10:26,870
But I've checked

181
00:10:26,870 --> 00:10:28,400
all our family businesses,

182
00:10:28,750 --> 00:10:30,480
and the Huo household and Guangsha Villa

183
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,200
have never had any

184
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,390
business dealings.

185
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,150
Guangsha Villa has no reason

186
00:10:34,150 --> 00:10:36,000
to regularly give money to our household.

187
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,730
So I traced it back to the source

188
00:10:37,890 --> 00:10:39,750
and examined years of
our household's accounts.

189
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:41,320
I found that the first transfer

190
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,050
was actually made 23 years ago.

191
00:10:44,750 --> 00:10:46,120
23 years ago?

192
00:10:46,870 --> 00:10:48,670
My mother told me before she died

193
00:10:49,030 --> 00:10:50,200
that I was

194
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,360
brought back by my father
from the frontier that year.

195
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,000
Also, my mother once told me that

196
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,400
Chu Guangsha, the owner of Guangsha Villa,

197
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,780
was once my father's personal guard.

198
00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:06,600
Miss Huo.

199
00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:09,080
Why are you telling me

200
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,150
all this?

201
00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:15,200
My father is dead,

202
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,790
and so is my mother.

203
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,300
I want to uncover the truth
about my origins.

204
00:11:20,670 --> 00:11:21,440
This is the only lead

205
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,120
I've been able to find so far.

206
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:24,440
Perhaps

207
00:11:24,870 --> 00:11:25,720
Mr. Chu

208
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,580
can provide me with some answers.

209
00:11:28,270 --> 00:11:30,200
But I don't know Mr. Chu,

210
00:11:30,670 --> 00:11:32,930
and I know nothing about Guangsha Villa.

211
00:11:33,030 --> 00:11:34,550
If I go there unannounced,

212
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:36,410
he might get suspicious of me.

213
00:11:36,510 --> 00:11:37,360
Therefore,

214
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:39,840
I would like to ask you, Constable Zhong,

215
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,750
to help me uncover

216
00:11:40,750 --> 00:11:42,810
my true identity as soon as possible.

217
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,570
[May 22nd:
Procurement of sacrificial offerings.]

218
00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:48,710
[Training ground arena repairs.
Expense: 348 taels]

219
00:12:16,230 --> 00:12:17,150
Two buns.

220
00:12:17,700 --> 00:12:18,440
No problem.

221
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,390
Here you go.

222
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,030
Thanks a lot

223
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:32,720
for saving me yesterday.

224
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:34,870
I never thought

225
00:12:34,870 --> 00:12:36,600
someone as timid and weak as you

226
00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:37,660
would actually dare to go to a place

227
00:12:37,660 --> 00:12:38,920
like the Ghost Market.

228
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,320
I promised Beiming I would save him.

229
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,320
What I promised,

230
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,300
I'd accomplish
even if it might cost my life.

231
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,630
Do you think that crazy woman,

232
00:12:51,630 --> 00:12:52,830
I mean, Zhong Xueman,

233
00:12:53,550 --> 00:12:54,960
would really be willing to give up her eye

234
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,360
for the Fire Cicada?

235
00:12:56,390 --> 00:12:58,190
That's a chance to save Beiming.

236
00:12:58,270 --> 00:12:59,510
She surely won't give it up.

237
00:12:59,510 --> 00:13:00,200
After everything

238
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,660
she did to Beiming before?

239
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,120
No ordinary people could understand

240
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,840
their relationship.

241
00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:09,440
Let alone an eye,

242
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,120
even if it cost her life,

243
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,660
I don't think

244
00:13:11,660 --> 00:13:13,030
she'd even hesitate.

245
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Coroner Feng.

246
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:25,670
Well,

247
00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:30,150
I pushed you that day

248
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:31,940
and lost my temper with you.

249
00:13:33,510 --> 00:13:34,390
Hit me back,

250
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,050
and we'll be even, okay?

251
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,930
If I hit you,

252
00:13:49,950 --> 00:13:51,590
wouldn't I be the one in pain?

253
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:52,530
With all that

254
00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:53,510
thick skin of yours,

255
00:13:53,510 --> 00:13:54,910
how could I even hurt you?

256
00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:56,960
Then use a knife.

257
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,000
No way.

258
00:13:58,470 --> 00:13:59,720
You brute.

259
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,320
Stick with calling me Madman, will you?

260
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,150
I'm not used to

261
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:03,200
being called Coroner Feng.

262
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,000
Madman.

263
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,150
That sounds much better.

264
00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:07,840
I've checked the ledger carefully,

265
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,000
and the payments from Guangsha Villa
to the Huo household

266
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,480
indeed

267
00:14:10,510 --> 00:14:12,080
started 23 years ago.

268
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,840
That year, General Huo Zongyao

269
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,200
had just returned from Haiya.

270
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:15,960
If Chu Guangsha

271
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,550
really was General Huo's personal guard,

272
00:14:17,550 --> 00:14:18,840
then he must have been to Haiya too,

273
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,600
and would have just returned
from there as well.

274
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:21,260
But you don't know

275
00:14:21,260 --> 00:14:22,790
Huo Dairong's intentions.

276
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:26,360
When we were investigating
the Huo Mansion case,

277
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,240
she deliberately led us to

278
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,510
Mrs. Huo and Li Xiao,

279
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:30,200
and also intentionally revealed

280
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,550
such an important clue.

281
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:32,430
Was all that really just

282
00:14:32,430 --> 00:14:34,550
to uncover the truth about her origins?

283
00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:35,870
Whatever her purpose might be,

284
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:37,320
since it concerns Haiya,

285
00:14:37,390 --> 00:14:39,050
we must get to the bottom of it.

286
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,360
I'll go with her.

287
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,240
You stay here

288
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,320
and wait for our news.

289
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:43,270
She knows your identity,

290
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:44,320
and if she intends to harm you...

291
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Even if she wants to harm me,

292
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:46,720
I can't escape it anyway,

293
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:47,960
so I might as well face it head-on.

294
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,550
Perhaps

295
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,460
we can find a weakness in her plan.

296
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:59,690
[Qi]

297
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,600
Beiming. Constable Zhong.

298
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:03,600
I've asked around.

299
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,120
Chu Guangsha did serve in the military,

300
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,030
then he retired to civilian life

301
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:06,720
and somehow got

302
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,780
a large sum of money

303
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,630
to establish Guangsha Villa.

304
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:12,840
Over these years, Chu Guangsha
has been devoted to spiritual pursuits,

305
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,930
regularly associating
with the Immortal Masters

306
00:15:14,930 --> 00:15:16,070
from Qingtai Mountain.

307
00:15:16,070 --> 00:15:18,150
It's said he seeks immortality,

308
00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:19,390
to cultivate and ascend.

309
00:15:19,390 --> 00:15:20,600
Immortality?

310
00:15:21,670 --> 00:15:23,550
Seems like he truly has attained
everything he wants.

311
00:15:23,550 --> 00:15:25,350
Chu Guangsha was just a soldier,

312
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,150
yet he suddenly acquired
such a large fortune.

313
00:15:27,150 --> 00:15:28,750
That money is highly suspicious,

314
00:15:28,750 --> 00:15:30,120
definitely from questionable sources.

315
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,850
Whether he's man or ghost,
we'll know at a glance.

316
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,000
Let's go.

317
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,170
Beiming.

318
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,910
Aren't you going to wear a bamboo hat?

319
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:44,710
It's alright.

320
00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:46,480
We're far from the capital now.

321
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,880
No one will recognize me.

322
00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:52,510
Honored guests,

323
00:15:53,150 --> 00:15:54,010
please come in.

324
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:20,240
May I ask, Sir,

325
00:16:20,750 --> 00:16:22,150
what happy occasion

326
00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:23,510
is Guangsha Villa celebrating today?

327
00:16:23,510 --> 00:16:24,320
Don't you know?

328
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,360
The master is hosting a grand banquet
for his birthday.

329
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Word is the Immortal Masters
from Qingtai Mountain

330
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:29,550
have developed

331
00:16:29,550 --> 00:16:31,410
a rejuvenating immortality pill

332
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,030
and have personally brought it here

333
00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:34,510
as a birthday gift for the master.

334
00:16:34,510 --> 00:16:35,480
And the master

335
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,320
will take

336
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,240
this immortality pill himself
during the banquet.

337
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,960
We are also

338
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,400
just here to join the fun.

339
00:16:40,710 --> 00:16:41,670
I won't say more.

340
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:42,810
I'm going in ahead.

341
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,000
Thank you.

342
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,000
Rejuvenation?

343
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,180
Let's go in and see for ourselves.

344
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Honored guests, please come in.

345
00:16:52,750 --> 00:16:54,320
Not even asking who we are?

346
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,380
Master has instructed

347
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,080
that today, no matter who it is,

348
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,390
anyone who passes through this gate

349
00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:01,480
is an honored guest.

350
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,790
Your master is quite generous.

351
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,480
Aren't you worried

352
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,030
we're just here for free food?

353
00:17:06,030 --> 00:17:07,200
You jest.

354
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,349
This is Guangsha Villa after all,
originating from the line

355
00:17:10,349 --> 00:17:12,550
"If I had thousands of spacious houses,

356
00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:15,200
I'd shelter all the poor scholars
under heaven, making them smile with joy."

357
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:15,890
Your master

358
00:17:15,910 --> 00:17:17,710
truly is a warm-hearted person.

359
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,349
I've always told you to read more books.

360
00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:21,150
What, feeling embarrassed now?

361
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:22,550
Guests,

362
00:17:23,069 --> 00:17:23,880
please.

363
00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:41,160
That's the young Immortal Master
from Qingtai Mountain

364
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,680
who came to deliver the pill
to our master.

365
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,400
Won't he stay for the banquet?

366
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,240
Well, these Immortal Masters

367
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,750
never stay long in mortal residences.

368
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:48,310
Being contaminated by worldly stuff

369
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:50,770
would affect their spiritual cultivation.

370
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:52,550
Guests,

371
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:53,920
please follow me.

372
00:18:07,110 --> 00:18:08,590
This setup is no joke.

373
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:12,880
What is this thing?

374
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,940
This is
the Celestial Staircase Cloud Terrace.

375
00:18:15,940 --> 00:18:17,350

something's off here.

Since we're already here,

383
00:18:31,310 --> 00:18:32,400
we might as well enjoy the show.

finally make an appearance?

Be patient.

396
00:19:34,270 --> 00:19:36,070
There are too many people at this banquet.

397
00:19:36,070 --> 00:19:37,350
We can't risk alerting him.

398
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:38,070
Later,

399
00:19:38,100 --> 00:19:39,750
we'll pay a private visit to Mr. Chu.

this immortality pill of his.

402
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,510
Medical books have never documented

403
00:19:44,510 --> 00:19:46,110
any formula for rejuvenation.

404
00:19:46,110 --> 00:19:47,720

I think

408
00:19:51,550 --> 00:19:53,590
that Immortal Master
is just putting on airs.

Madman is really good,

510
00:25:40,350 --> 00:25:42,150
spotted the issue immediately.

511
00:25:42,270 --> 00:25:43,310
I found a large amount of red crystal

512
00:25:43,310 --> 00:25:44,440
in the remnants of the pill

513
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,960
in Chu Guangsha's stomach.

514
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,880
I suspect that so-called immortality pill

515
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,240
is the source of the poison.

516
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,900
But Chu Guangsha's poisoning

517
00:25:51,070 --> 00:25:52,070
differs from Huo Zongyao's

518
00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:53,070
in several ways.

519
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,220
What's different?

520
00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:55,340
Huo Zongyao's red crystal

521
00:25:55,340 --> 00:25:55,960
was administered in

522
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,270
his health-preserving tea

523
00:25:57,270 --> 00:25:58,720
in small amounts,
which was difficult to detect.

524
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,270
He consumed it for half a year,

525
00:26:00,270 --> 00:26:01,960
resulting in chronic poisoning eventually.

526
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,030
But Chu Guangsha's situation is different.

527
00:26:03,030 --> 00:26:03,720
His brain tissue

528
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,000
isn't riddled with holes

529
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,110
like Huo Zongyao's.

530
00:26:06,110 --> 00:26:08,000
And his eyes, ears, and nose

531
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,350
contain large amounts of black blood.

532
00:26:09,350 --> 00:26:10,310
This proves

533
00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:11,440
he consumed a large amount

534
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,960
of red crystal in a short time,

535
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,750
ultimately dying
from brain tissue rupture.

536
00:26:14,750 --> 00:26:15,810
So you're saying

537
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,480
someone wanted him dead today?

538
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:18,280
That's right.

539
00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:20,110
We just tracked it down to Chu Guangsha,

540
00:26:20,110 --> 00:26:21,110
and he died.

541
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,240
This can't be a coincidence.

542
00:26:23,270 --> 00:26:25,000
But Madam Feng is already dead.

543
00:26:25,270 --> 00:26:26,380
Who else could possibly know that

544
00:26:26,380 --> 00:26:28,270
red crystal can cause hallucination
and get people killed?

545
00:26:28,270 --> 00:26:29,720
Who else would have such poison?

546
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,030
That limping physician,

547
00:26:31,030 --> 00:26:31,720
and also...

548
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,470
Huo Dairong.

549
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,510
Miss Huo?

550
00:26:34,790 --> 00:26:35,920
How is that possible?

551
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,880
Even if she wanted to poison him,

552
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,640
s-she should have

553
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,590
avoided you all.

554
00:26:38,590 --> 00:26:39,920
Why would she lead us there?

555
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,350
Wasn't that...

556
00:26:40,350 --> 00:26:42,110
Wasn't that walking right into a trap?

557
00:26:42,110 --> 00:26:42,790
Besides,

558
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,510
you said

559
00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:45,030
she's an intelligent woman.

560
00:26:45,030 --> 00:26:46,510
Would she do something so stupid?

561
00:26:46,510 --> 00:26:47,510
It definitely wasn't Miss Huo.

562
00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:49,030

has been determined.

How did he die?

569
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,160
Just like your father,

570
00:27:03,270 --> 00:27:05,330
he died from hallucinogenic poison.

571
00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:07,200
How can it be such a coincidence?

572
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,460
I'll have to ask you about this, Miss Huo.

573
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:14,730
You suspect me?

574
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,480
That's fine.

After all, I'm aware of

576
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,000
the existence of this poison,

577
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,030
so it's natural for you to suspect me.

578
00:27:23,030 --> 00:27:24,880
So what now?

579
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,790
Are you taking me to the

Miss Huo, you're overthinking this.

Everyone who knows about
this hallucinogenic poison

582
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,480
is a suspect.

583
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,960
We need to investigate each one of them

584

until we find the real culprit.

to start your investigation?

There's never been any mistake.

You claim that Mr. Chu

00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:51,270
had poison in the pill in his stomach,

is connected to our Qingtai Mountain?

we're not suspecting you,

00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,000
It's merely routine.

624
00:29:07,030 --> 00:29:08,680
Do you have any remaining

625
00:29:08,750 --> 00:29:09,640
immortality pills left?

626
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:10,720
I have some knowledge

00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,580
about immortality pills myself.

This immortality pill

629
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,810
is the finest from the immortal realm.

630
00:29:17,070 --> 00:29:19,920
It's nothing like what you'd find

631
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:21,350
in ordinary pharmacies
in the mortal world.

632
00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:24,070
Moreover, this pill was obtained by me

633
00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:26,160
sacrificing my own lifespan
and spiritual power,

634
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,160
requested from the immortal realm.

635
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,640
Therefore, once a pill is created,

636
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,200
the user

637
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,160
must take it within one day,

638
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,880
or it loses all efficacy.

639
00:29:35,270 --> 00:29:36,070
So how could there be any

640
00:29:36,070 --> 00:29:37,110
remaining pills?

641
00:29:41,350 --> 00:29:42,240
What about the formula then?

00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,030
Do you have the formula?

643
00:29:43,030 --> 00:29:44,070
That would work too.

644

00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,200

that the poison in Mr. Chu's body

658

has nothing to do with you,

twist the truth

671
00:30:31,070 --> 00:30:32,470
That's not what we meant.

672

Please sit down.

673
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,640
Chu Guangsha took the pill

674
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,770
and died on the spot.

675
00:30:43,070 --> 00:30:44,920
This matter has significant implications.

676
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,110
Respected Immortal Master, I believe you

677
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:48,070
wouldn't want rumors spreading out there,

678
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:50,070
claiming that Mr. Chu's death

679
00:30:50,110 --> 00:30:53,110
is related to the pills
from Qingtai Mountain, right?

680
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,640
What this officer says

681
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,240
does make some sense.

682
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,240
However, as for the formula,

683
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,240
I still cannot let you have it.

684

687
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,880
However, I do have

688
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,360
a few defective pills in my possession.

689

692
00:31:20,110 --> 00:31:21,190
in fact,

693
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,440
the pill-making process

694
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,330
doesn't always go

695
00:31:23,330 --> 00:31:24,350
smoothly.

696
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,720
If the heat, climate,

697
00:31:26,750 --> 00:31:28,510
or the proportion of ingredients

698
00:31:28,510 --> 00:31:29,640
is slightly off,

699
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,480
it will affect

700
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,210
the final efficacy of the pill.

701
00:31:32,470 --> 00:31:34,960
Some poorly made immortality pills

702
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,400
become defective pills.

703
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,440
Given how profound our spiritual bond

704
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,480
with Mr. Chu was,

705
00:31:39,590 --> 00:31:40,880
how could we possibly give

706
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,310
those defective pills to him?

707
00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:43,480
Respected Immortal Master.

708
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,880
Actually, we just need to take a look at

709
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,400
the ingredients of the pill.

710
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,000
The quality doesn't matter.

711
00:31:48,790 --> 00:31:49,590

[Jiu, Disciple of Qingtai Mountain]

720
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,680
You've always been the one
delivering the immortality pills, right?

721
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,480
Or has anyone else handled them?

722
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:24,830
No.

723
00:32:25,070 --> 00:32:26,550
After each immortality pill is made,

724
00:32:26,550 --> 00:32:27,720
to preserve its immortal essence,

725
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,350
Master would put it

726
00:32:28,350 --> 00:32:29,400
in a jade box

727
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:30,400
and then hand it to me.

728
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:31,880
After that, I'd deliver it
to Guangsha Villa.

729
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,510
I've always delivered the pills alone.

730
00:32:33,510 --> 00:32:34,200
Absolutely no one else

731
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:34,960
has ever touched the pills.

732
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,720
And the person who received the pills,

733
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,110
was it Chu Guangsha himself,

734
00:32:37,110 --> 00:32:39,170
or someone else from Guangsha Villa?

735
00:32:39,350 --> 00:32:40,750
Of course it was Mr. Chu himself.

736
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:42,550
The immortality pills cannot be tainted
by mundane energy.

737
00:32:42,550 --> 00:32:44,150
If ordinary people touch it,

738
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,880
the pills will be contaminated.

739
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,640
So it's always been

740
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,440
Mr. Chu who personally received it.

741
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,400
So you're saying

742
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:50,790
the only people who have touched

743
00:32:50,790 --> 00:32:52,070
the immortality pills are
the Immortal Master,

744
00:32:52,070 --> 00:32:53,480
you, and Chu Guangsha?

745
00:32:53,830 --> 00:32:54,830
No, no, Miss Huo.

746
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,000
I only deliver them.

747
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,660
I've never touched the pills.

748
00:33:00,350 --> 00:33:02,160
Immortal Jiu, you're also a cultivator.

749
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,480
When delivering the pills,

750
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,510
weren't you ever curious

751
00:33:04,510 --> 00:33:05,160
about what this immortality pill

752
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,480
that can transform a mortal
into an immortal

753
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,680
actually looks like?

754
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,650
I wouldn't dare.

755
00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:10,270
After each pill is made,

756
00:33:10,510 --> 00:33:11,480
Master would personally place it

757
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,640
in a jade box

758
00:33:13,270 --> 00:33:15,270
and seal it with fire clay directly.

759
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:18,970
And he'd add his personal seal.

760
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,550
If I were to open it during delivery,

761
00:33:20,550 --> 00:33:22,350
it would definitely be discovered.

762
00:33:22,350 --> 00:33:23,350
No matter how curious I might be,

763
00:33:23,350 --> 00:33:24,950
I wouldn't dare do anything.

764
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:27,000
The distance from Qingtai Mountain

765
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,590
to Guangsha Villa

766
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:29,790
isn't exactly short.

767
00:33:30,110 --> 00:33:31,880
How did you deliver the pills,
Immortal Jiu?

768
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,960
By foot.

769
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:33,960
By foot?

770
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,280
That's right.

771
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,520
What you guys may not know is that

772
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:39,590
hardship

773
00:33:39,830 --> 00:33:41,880
is the foundation of our

774
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,030
immortal cultivation practice.

775
00:33:44,030 --> 00:33:46,440
So all disciples of our Qingtai Mountain,

776
00:33:46,510 --> 00:33:48,110
no matter where they go,

777
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:49,880
can only rely on their own feet.

778
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,350
This is also to

779
00:33:51,350 --> 00:33:52,790
show the immortals

780
00:33:52,790 --> 00:33:54,440
our sincere devotion.

781
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,240
On foot?

782
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:57,000
How long does that take?

783
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,030
Noon is when the yang energy

784
00:33:59,030 --> 00:34:00,240
is at its peak,

785
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,070
and also the best time

786
00:34:02,070 --> 00:34:03,240
for the immortality pill to be completed.

787
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,350
And Jiu must arrive by 7 PM,

788
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,550
before the sun sets

789
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,190
and when yin and yang start to shift,

790
00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:09,230
to deliver the immortality pill

791
00:34:09,230 --> 00:34:10,440
to the recipient.

792
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,550
So the round-trip journey

793
00:34:12,630 --> 00:34:13,320
has become

794
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:15,580
a path of cultivation for our disciples.

795
00:34:21,150 --> 00:34:22,610
It's a difficult journey.

796
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:23,920
Is there no place

797
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,120
to rest along the way?

798
00:34:26,590 --> 00:34:27,960
The delivery of the pill was urgent.

799
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:29,889
I wouldn't dare rest along the way.

800
00:34:31,230 --> 00:34:32,800
We have no further questions.

801
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,659
Thank you for your help,
Respected Immortal Master and Immortal Jiu.

802
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,320
After we finish examining
the defective pill,

803
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,580
we will provide you with an explanation.

804
00:35:41,150 --> 00:35:42,550
What are you trying to do?

805
00:35:44,050 --> 00:35:45,140
[Elite Constabulary Unit]

806
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,770
You're from the Elite Constabulary Unit?

807
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,200
What are you doing here
in the Ghost Market?

808
00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:50,670
Nothing special.

809
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,670
I just need to ask you something.

810
00:35:52,670 --> 00:35:53,590
Tell me the truth.

811
00:35:53,590 --> 00:35:55,630
You'd better not go looking for trouble

812
00:35:55,630 --> 00:35:56,830
when things are fine.

813
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:14,430
Young Master.

814
00:36:16,190 --> 00:36:18,190
Got news about Zhong Xueman's whereabouts?

815
00:36:18,190 --> 00:36:19,880
There's been a murder at Guangsha Villa.

816
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,630
Zhong Xueman and several other

817
00:36:20,630 --> 00:36:23,070
constables from
the Elite Constabulary went there.

818
00:36:23,070 --> 00:36:24,550
Guangsha Villa?

819
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:27,630
What murder?

820
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,550
I heard that the villa owner,
Chu Guangsha,

821
00:36:29,550 --> 00:36:31,950
dropped dead during his birthday banquet.

822
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:34,680
Young Master.

823
00:36:34,690 --> 00:36:36,000
Chief has ordered that

824
00:36:36,230 --> 00:36:37,530
all members of
the Secret Investigation Unit

825
00:36:37,530 --> 00:36:38,280
should focus entirely on investigating

826
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,670
leads about Yesha and Xiao Beiming

827
00:36:39,670 --> 00:36:41,200
and ignore all other cases.

828
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:42,730
Besides, this case

829
00:36:42,870 --> 00:36:45,400
is currently being handled by
the Elite Constabulary Unit.

830
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,070
There's no need to inform Chief
about this matter yet.

831
00:36:47,070 --> 00:36:49,870
I'll take responsibility
if anything goes wrong.

832
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:55,730
I have the results.

833
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,440
What did you find?

834
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,800
All that talk about
extending lifespan and spiritual power.

835
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:03,630
It's nothing but

836
00:37:03,630 --> 00:37:04,510
ordinary tonics

837
00:37:04,510 --> 00:37:06,570
mixed with mercury and yellow stone.

838
00:37:06,740 --> 00:37:07,760
The one in Chu Guangsha's stomach

839
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,230
was at least made with red crystal,

840
00:37:09,230 --> 00:37:09,920
but this one

841
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,440
doesn't contain any red crystal at all.

842
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:13,510
You mean

843
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,070
the pill developed by the Elder Immortal

844
00:37:16,070 --> 00:37:17,840
and the one Chu Guangsha took
are different?

845
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:18,800
Exactly.

846
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:20,870
Now here's the strange part.

847
00:37:21,110 --> 00:37:22,230
That young Immortal claims

848
00:37:22,230 --> 00:37:23,760
he carried the pill with him
the entire time along the way,

849
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:24,590
and that he never

850
00:37:24,590 --> 00:37:25,360
encountered anyone

851
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,880
or had contact with others.

852
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,670
If someone wanted to switch the pill,

853
00:37:28,670 --> 00:37:30,200
how could they have done it?

854
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,960
That Immortal Jiu was lying.

855
00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:33,030
Lying?

856
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,360
I noticed his expression

857
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:36,800
was indeed somewhat nervous,

858
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:37,800
but ordinary people

859
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,400
would naturally be nervous

860
00:37:39,550 --> 00:37:41,800
facing interrogation from
the Elite Constabulary Unit, right?

861
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,730
He had other subtle movements too.

862
00:37:48,110 --> 00:37:49,280
You mean his buttocks?

863
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:50,540
Not just his buttocks,

864
00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:51,550
but also his hips.

865
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:53,630
He was injured,

866
00:37:53,630 --> 00:37:55,230
and quite recently too.

867
00:38:03,710 --> 00:38:04,510
What could he have been doing

868
00:38:04,510 --> 00:38:06,310
to injure his hips and buttocks?

869
00:38:07,710 --> 00:38:08,770
Horseback riding?

870
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:10,280
I also noticed that the skin

871
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,630
between his thumb and index finger
was swollen and inflamed,

872
00:38:11,630 --> 00:38:12,920
suggesting he's not skilled at riding

873
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,000
and had been pulling on the reins
for a long time.

874
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,440
So that young Immortal
was indeed deceiving us.

875
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:18,280
He didn't follow

876
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,000
his master's instructions to travel
on foot as hardship cultivation at all.

877
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,590
He delivered the pill on horseback.

878
00:38:21,590 --> 00:38:22,230
Riding a horse

879
00:38:22,230 --> 00:38:23,670
to Guangsha Villa takes

880
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:25,280
much less time than walking.

881
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:26,440
During this time,

882
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,920
he could have done all sorts of things.

883
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,510
We should hurry to Qingtai Mountain then.

884
00:38:29,510 --> 00:38:31,310
It'll be trouble if he gets away.

885
00:38:32,630 --> 00:38:33,550
Where's Constable Zhong?
