After returning to Changshou Palace, Xie Xun complained to Fengyu about the Beiman High Priest, "He said the secret medicine was lost, I don't believe it for a moment, he clearly wants to make a high demand. If this secret medicine could be lost, then if the conditions were right, he could certainly find it back. Ayu, help me think of a way, I can't let this charlatan have his way."
Fengyu had long anticipated such a consequence, and Xie Xun's decision to send Dugu Jing to investigate was destined for such an outcome, yet he stubbornly refused to believe in the chance.
"This High Priest devotes his life to the Heavenly God, does not marry, have children, nor has parents or siblings, living alone in poverty. Such a person is the hardest to manipulate, devoid of desires. Now the only thing you can negotiate with him is the temple itself. Be sincere in your negotiations, and if his demands are excessive, you can bargain."
