After leaving his Master’s side, Disciple Gu rushed to the Administration Hall.

”Good morning, DIsciple Gu! How can we help you today?” One of the Elders there welcomed him with a bright and respectful smile.

”I want information on a visitor,” he said.

”Of course. Who is this visitor that you speak of?”

”I don’t know, that’s why I am here. Who is the visitor with Healer Wang?”

”Healer Wang?” The Elder raised his eyebrows, as he doesn’t recall recording any guests that came for Wang Xiuying.

”Let me check the log.”

The Elder went to grab the guest logbook and brought it back to Disciple Gu.

”This page contains all visitors for the past week, but I don’t see any guests mentioning about Healer Wang.” The Elder said.

”Let me see.”

Disciple Gu grabbed the book and began scanning through all of the names on the logbook.

The logbook contained the guests’ names, age, their affiliates, and their reason for visiting the Spirit Healing Academy.

However, there was nobody that came with Healer Wang as their reason for visiting, and Disciple Gu went as far back as one month in the logbook.

”Impossible! Maybe he is actually a disciple and purposefully wore casual clothes to mislead others? What a crafty bastard!” Disciple Gu now believed that Yuan was a disciple of the Spirit Healing Academy all along.

After all, no visitors could possibly enter the sect without going through the Administration Hall.

”Why don’t you try asking the Sect Master? If anybody knows about Healer Wang’s affairs, it would be her.” The Elder suddenly suggested.

”Are you crazy? I cannot possibly bother the Sect Master for something like this! And haven’t you heard? The Sect Master of the Universal Music Academy had just been killed! She’ll be very busy for a while.” Disciple Gu sneered.

”What? Sect Master Sun had been killed? But the Sect Master of the Heavenly Academy said it was an unfortunate accident!” The Elder exclaimed.

”That’s just a cover up, obviously. Someone had infiltrated the Universal Music Academy and threatened their disciple that he would kill Sect Master Sun on the same day that he’d died. I heard this from multiple disciples there.”

”No way… If the Sect Master Li is willing to conceal the truth, there’s a good chance that whoever killed Sect Master Sun is someone that even the Seven Spirit Academies cannot touch. One of the Four Ancient Families, perhaps?”

”By the way, how is your family, Disciple Gu? I heard that they’d also encountered some kind of accident very recently.” The Elder asked.

Disciple Gu’s face suddenly turned cold after hearing such a question.

”S-Sorry, I overstepped my boundaries by asking about your family, Disciple Gu. Please forgive me.” The Elder immediately apologized.

After all, the Gu Family had sustained immense losses with the death of many experts and even 10 Spirit Lords! Their position within the Seven Legacy Families had dropped all the way to the bottom because of this mysterious incident, which shook the entire Spirit Heaven when news spread.

Of course, the death of Sect Master Sun wasn’t any less shocking. Even though Sect Master Li announced it as an accident, rumors of it being murder still circulated.

Disciple Gu didn’t stay in the Administration Hall any longer and went elsewhere to investigate Yuan’s identity.

Meanwhile, Yuan and Wang Xiuying arrived at the Alchemy Store.

The store was a massive pagoda that had 10 spacious floors.

”Look! That’s Disciple Wang!”

”G-Good morning, Fairy Wang!”

The disciples at the Alchemy Store immediately recognized Wang Xiuying when they saw her.

”Who’s that handsome beside her? He’s not wearing our uniform. Is he a guest?”

”Do you think he’s Disciple Wang’s boyfriend?”

”I saw them hugging each other on the flying treasure before they descended! They definitely have a very intimate relationship with each other!”

The disciples there also took notice of Yuan, who was not only very handsome but also emitted this unfathomable aura, which instantly charmed many female disciples.

”Let’s go inside.” Wang Xiuying said to Yuan after they landed in front of the Alchemy Store.

Yuan nodded and followed her inside.

”The first, second, and third floor mostly consists of medicine and herbs, so we can go straight to the fourth floor.” Wang Xiuying said as she walked straight to the staircase.

Upon entering the fourth floor, Yuan could see many different cauldrons being sold.

”This is where we can buy ordinary cauldrons. The more valuable ones are on the fifth and sixth floor. Sometimes the pills can explode during concoction if you mess up, and the cauldron usually goes with the pill.” Wang Xiuying said.

”Isn’t it very dangerous to sit so close to the cauldron, then? What if it explodes in your face?” Yuan asked.

”Indeed, it is very dangerous. In fact, the cause of most disciple deaths within the sect is due to their cauldron exploding. However, that will only happen to ordinary cauldrons. There are cauldrons that have been enchanted with safety measures that greatly reduce the risk of injury, but those are way more expensive, and not all disciples can afford that.”

”For the record, I have blown up over 100 cauldrons since I have been here! I am also on my 23rd cauldron from practicing Tier 4 pills!” Wang Xiuying said, sounding somewhat proud of it.

Yuan smiled, ”And how many times have you died?”

”None! As the Sect Master’s disciple, I am only allowed to use the best enchanted cauldrons, so no matter how many I explode, I won’t die. Though, I still get injured by them.”

”So if you weren’t the Sect Master’s disciple, you would’ve died over 100 times. You’re still as reckless as ever.” Yuan chuckled.

”Anyways, do you want to get a cauldron while you’re here?” Wang Xiuying then asked.

”I don’t do Alchemy, though. Why would I need one?”

”Who said cauldrons are only used for Alchemy? You can do other things with them, as well.” Wang Xiuying said.

And she continued, ”Such as cooking, brewing tea, mixing medicine, and even body tempering.”

”Hm? Did you just say body tempering?” Yuan’s interest piqued.
