It's not without evidence to say that the mastermind behind the scenes is Qi'an Hall.
It's said that Qi'an Hall has been purchasing the herbs needed to refine the Soul Reviving Pill for a long time. This point can be examined, as Qi'an Hall indeed has been collecting the herbs to refine the Soul Reviving Pill over the years. But who knows what herbs are needed for the Elixir recipe. Rumors spread and got twisted; some say Qin Ling has already died, and the mastermind behind it is Mo Liancheng.
Qi'an Hall just wants to take this opportunity to accumulate resources and win over people's hearts.
Some people believe it, some doubt it, and others dismiss it with contempt.
