"I think we should first interrogate the demon cultist we captured and see if the leader is really Broken Edge of Heaven. Also, didn't that demon cultist say they had already left? And yet, how did Broken Edge of Heaven return and injure Junior Brother Yuan Chu?"

"I agree!"

Shortly after, Tian Chu Zhenren brought the woman over and began questioning her.

"Is your leader Broken Edge of Heaven?"

"Broken Edge of Heaven? Broken Edge of Heaven! No, we have nothing to do with him. We are proper researchers; he is a madman. We're different," the woman shook her head, denying it.

Tian Chu Zhenren paid special attention to her eyes while she spoke and found that she was not lying. So, their leader is not Broken Edge of Heaven, suggesting that Broken Edge of Heaven might really have come just to look for something.

"Did you leave anything precious behind?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked and carefully observed the woman to see if she was lying.

"Precious things? We didn't leave any behind. We don't have particularly precious things ourselves, so there's nothing left behind," the woman replied.

Tian Chu Zhenren nodded and, after confirming the woman was not lying, had her taken away again.

"Let's not dwell on Broken Edge of Heaven for now. We can discuss it when the other sects arrive. For now, let's analyze the materials needed to purify such a large area of evil qi, especially due to its high quality," Tian Chu Zhenren decided to temporarily set aside the matter of Broken Edge of Heaven to focus on solving the evil qi issue, which could be discussed jointly when all sects arrived.

Ping Chu Zhenren said, "Such a large amount of evil qi may not be handled by the array alone; we also need magical treasures to assist."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Chu Zhenren nodded and said, "I can help with this. Once materials arrive, you can refine your array banners, and I can produce some magical treasures based on the properties of your array banners. The synergy between the magical treasures and the array will ensure the evil qi is purified in no time!"

"But we don't have any materials right now. We need to go find some," Ping Chu Zhenren noted.

"That's simple. Request assistance from the major sects; every sect can be responsible for purifying their designated area. If they can't handle it, they can search for materials. How about that?" Tian Chu Zhenren suggested.

Tian Chu Zhenren thought over this for a while and nodded. "This method is feasible. It reduces everyone's pressure and ensures everyone's contribution. Very good!"

"Now, you two, please review what materials you require, and we can start retrieving them in advance. When it comes time to purify the evil qi, we can do it as quickly as possible. Afterward, we could also help other sects that are slower at purification," Tian Chu Zhenren said to Ping Chu Zhenren and Yuan Chu Zhenren.

"I need pure white snow and Holy Light Ore, along with Silk of Goodness," Ping Chu Zhenren stated.

"I also need pure white snow, Holy Light Ore, Silk of Goodness, and additionally Extreme Fire of Heaven and Water of Knowledge," Yuan Chu Zhenren added.

Tian Chu Zhenren nodded and said, "Alright, let's divide your requirements into two groups: one group with the relatively simple pure white snow, Water of Knowledge, and Silk of Goodness; another with the Extreme Fire of Heaven and Holy Light Ore. Let's have Nephew Tianfan and Nephew Yun Tian each choose one, and then they can undertake these tasks."

Everyone listened to Tian Chu Zhenren's arrangement and nodded; the assignment was flawless, considering they couldn't leave because they also needed to guard against any mutations in the evil qi and welcome other sects.

Besides, they couldn't all leave, as others from the sects had specifically come to assist the Taichu Sect. It wouldn't be appropriate to leave, would it?

Ye Tianfan had no idea she had been assigned a task while resting. However, even if she knew, she wouldn't mind.

When Ye Tianfan woke up the next day and arrived at Tian Chu Zhenren's tent, she found everyone there, including Senior Brother Yun Tian.

When Tian Chu Zhenren saw Ye Tianfan arrive, he nodded at her and then turned to Tian Chu Zhenren to say, "Since Tianfan is here, let's begin the meeting!"

Tian Chu Zhenren nodded and then addressed Ye Tianfan and Senior Brother Yun Tian, "There will be two tasks that need your completion."

Senior Brother Yun Tian immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Uncle Master Zhenren, please feel free to instruct us."

Ye Tianfan also stood up and said, "I am duty-bound!"

"Very good," Tian Chu Zhenren responded. "We need to establish a large array and craft some magical treasures to completely purify the evil qi. However, we still lack some materials. Here are two task tokens: one for finding pure white snow, Water of Knowledge, and Silk of Goodness, and the other for Extreme Fire of Heaven and the more rare Holy Light Ore. You two can each choose one."

Senior Brother Yun Tian planned to take the more challenging task to make it easier for Ye Tianfan but courteously let Ye Tianfan choose first.

Ye Tianfan immediately reached for the more difficult task, the search for Extreme Fire of Heaven and Holy Light Ore.

Upon seeing Ye Tianfan choose the harder task, Senior Brother Yun Tian expressed that he was willing to swap if possible.

Ye Tianfan directly refused, as he had little interest in the simpler task, opting instead for the hardest one.

Senior Brother Yun Tian, helpless, could only say to Ye Tianfan, "Junior Brother Tianfan, if you encounter any problems or can't proceed, you can come to me for a swap or for help searching."

Ye Tianfan smiled, looking at Senior Brother Yun Tian, and said, "No worries. These two materials are supposedly easy to find if conditions are right, yet impossible to encounter otherwise. And you've seen my fortune; these materials are waiting for me to find them. Rest assured, it won't be an issue!"
