This courtyard is large enough to accommodate alchemists from the four alchemy branches of the East, West, South, and North who come to participate in the alchemy gathering.
The four alchemist branches are located in different parts of the courtyard. After all the alchemist branches arrive here, there are still ten days before the start of the alchemy festival.
During this period, the alchemist disciples in each district would see each other all the time, and some competitions and contests were bound to happen.
After all, the alchemists who can enter the various alchemist branches are all people with outstanding alchemy talent.
The fragrance of medicinal herbs wafted through the courtyard without ceasing.
Five days before the alchemy competition, all the alchemist disciples concealed their brilliance and stayed in their rooms to conserve their energy and restore their mental strength to its peak.
Ruan Xiyan's mental energy recovered much faster than that of ordinary alchemists.
While the other alchemists were meditating, she leisurely strolled around the entire Medicine City, showing no signs of the tension that was about to arise from the upcoming alchemy competition.
Her alchemy skills have already broken through to the eighth rank, so this competition is a sure thing for her.
To be honest, there are very few people who can surpass her in alchemy.
Although the number of places to enter the Dan realm is limited, Ruan Xiyan has already secured one of them thanks to her alchemy skills.
Medicine City is more than a hundred times more prosperous than Ancient Dan City, and the pharmacies here sell far more rare medicinal herbs.
Ruan Xiyan made a series of purchases, and spirit stones flowed from her hands like water.
Looking at the nearly empty spirit stones and the bountiful harvest of herbs, Ruan Xiyan returned to her residence with a satisfied heart.
Spirit stones can be earned back, but these rare herbs aren't always available.
Meanwhile, Luo Wanyin returned to the Illusionary Hidden Sect with Huo Yao.
"Wanwan, you're back. Where's Sister Yan?" Yu Qiqi, who came to greet her, didn't see Ruan Xiyan and asked in confusion.
Luo Wanyin told her about Ruan Xiyan's trip to the alchemy gathering.
"Who is this?" Yu Qiqi looked at Huo Yao, who was standing next to Luo Wanyin and looking around.
"This is Senior Huo Yao. Thanks to him, my Ten Thousand Poisons Body was able to hold on for a while longer. Senior Huo Yao is still..."
Before Luo Wanyin could finish speaking, a figure rushed up from behind and pounced on Huo Yao. "Master... bang—"
Huo Yao saw the unidentified object rushing towards him, and moved his feet slightly to dodge to the side.
Lin Muze couldn't stop in time and was sent flying, crashing to the ground.
Yu Qiqi's outstretched hand couldn't catch the incredibly fast Lin Muze, and she could only watch helplessly as he fell flat on his face.
Although she felt it was a bit unfair of her to laugh now, she really couldn't help but laugh at the comical sight of Lin Muze falling to the ground.
While suppressing a laugh, Yu Qiqi helped Lin Muze up.
Lin Muze looked at Yu Qiqi, covered his face and said, "Laugh if you want to, don't hold it in anymore."
Yu Qiqi burst out laughing, "Mu Ze, why are you so excited?"
Lin Muze looked at Huo Yao, who was standing there touching his nose, with a slightly resentful gaze. "Master, you are too heartless."
"It's been so long since I've seen your precious disciple. Not only do you not say you miss him, but now you won't even let me hug him."
"I didn't see it clearly just now. I thought something was coming and it gave me a big fright. It was an instinctive reaction," Huo Yao explained.
"Master, do you think I believe you?" Lin Muze pouted. He clearly called out to his master while running, and his master definitely heard him clearly.
"Oh dear! You're such a grown man, why are you still being carried by your master? Come here, let me hug you! Give me a hug." Huo Yao looked at Lin Muze's expression, reached out and hugged him, patting his back.
Yu Qiqi stood there stunned, her mouth agape in surprise, and asked Luo Wanyin what was going on.
"This Senior Huo Yao is his master." Luo Wanyin looked at the master and disciple who were hugging each other with a smile.
Yu Qiqi's unrestrained smile instantly subsided, and she stood up straight and upright.
Mu Ze's master is her elder. She didn't do anything inappropriate or damaging to his image, so she didn't leave a bad impression on him!
"Master, let's go inside and talk." Lin Muze led Huo Yao into the hall.
Along the way, Huo Yao looked around at the buildings and disciples who were cultivating. Although the Illusionary Hidden Sect was not very powerful, it still looked quite respectable.
Inside the hall.
Huo Yao sat down in the chair, and Yu Qiqi stepped forward to greet him, "Hello, Senior Huo Yao."
Lin Muze took Yu Qiqi's hand and introduced her, "Master, this is Qiqi, the one I love."
"Good lad, it's been years and you've found someone you like. This girl looks pretty good, you're lucky. Remember to cherish her."
"Don't worry, Master, you know my temperament well enough," Lin Muze said with a smile.
"Have you been experiencing any discomfort lately? For example, do you feel a burning sensation in your body when practicing your cultivation techniques?" Huo Yao asked Lin Muze.
Speaking of this, Lin Muze felt a surge of grievance.
“Master, you left without a trace, and I can’t find you at all. I still have fire poison in my body. You just abandoned me like this, not caring about the life or death of your dear disciple.”
"You're such a terrible master! If you hadn't run into Sister Yan by chance, would you have forgotten you even have a disciple?" Lin Muze complained.
Huo Yao coughed lightly, then, somewhat guilty, stubbornly insisted, "No way."
"As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation depends on yourself!" Huo Yao slapped Lin Muze, his tone harsh. "And how dare you speak to your master like that?"
"I wonder who it was that knelt down and begged me to take them as a disciple back then," Huo Yao sneered. "And now they're complaining about their master."
It seems so. Lin Muze felt guilty and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. He replied with a grin, "Master, you flatter me. How could I possibly blame you?"
"Master, what about the fire poison in my body? I won't suddenly die one day, will I? I'm still so young, I don't want to die young."
"Fire poison? Muze, you've been poisoned? When did this happen? How come I didn't know? How serious is it?" Yu Qiqi pulled Lin Muze up and down, her voice anxious and worried.
"The young lady seems to care about her disciple quite a bit. Don't worry, the brat is fine."
"The so-called 'fire poison' is not a poison at all. It's just that some side effects have occurred because I practiced the technique I created. The fire-based technique I created is very powerful and has strong attack capabilities."
"Ordinary people's meridians cannot withstand it, and they will experience a burning sensation. Over time, the powerful force cannot be unblocked, and the accumulated force becomes fire poison."
