So from the first sunrise of the next day, the clansmen who remained in Tongcheng saw each other and all gave each other forced smiles.
A strange tension arose between the various clans. Everyone was secretly sending people to deliver elixirs and present their visiting cards. Some even secretly sent people to intercept disciples from other clans who were delivering visiting cards to the Alchemy Sect, all in the hopes of being the first lucky one to go up the mountain and "pick up the scraps".
Jun Luoying was also very interested in the Rejuvenation Pill, and she sent Jun Ao with a visiting card to the Pill Sect early in the morning.
But less than an hour after she left, Jun Ao returned crying with a bruised and swollen face: "Fairy, those clans are utterly shameless! In order for their own clan members to be the first to enter the Pill Sect and purchase the Rejuvenation Pill, they actually sent people to ambush others while masked!"
Jun Luoying was somewhat skeptical when she first heard this: "How can you be so sure? Don't fall for someone's treacherous scheme to sow discord."
"This disciple is certain that the people who ambushed us were the Gu family of the Southern Region and the Qu family of the Eastern Region. Although they changed their clothes and covered their faces, how could anyone else learn their unique attack techniques?" Jun Ao roared angrily, like an enraged little leopard.
Jun Luoying was furious when she heard this.
These hypocritical, beastly people, yesterday they were spouting righteous words and praising her as a demon-slaying hero, but today they're back to their underhanded schemes to swindle the Jun family.
The Gu family and the Qu family are very good!
It seems that the ranking of these eight families needs to be changed, or the list of the eight families should be reshuffled!
The various clans, each employing their own unique strategies, fought fiercely to be the first to ascend to the Alchemy Sect.
Ji Fengyao accepted all invitations without hesitation, regardless of who came first or last. She sent An Zijin to collect everyone's invitations, and the reply everyone received was "go back and wait for news." Everyone spent most of the day scrambling for the invitations, but in the end, no one got to see the person in question.
When the members of the various clans learned that everyone had received this reply, their hands, which were gripping their storage rings, tightened, and they all felt a surge of depression and a desire to vomit blood.
If they had known this would happen, why did they pull all those stunts?
You offended someone for no reason, but the result was the same!
However, thinking of the Zhou and Dongdan families who were still turned away, their mood improved considerably.
The Zhou and Dongdan families are truly depressed now. The messenger who went back to report to the main clan hasn't returned yet, and the main clan hasn't sent any news to tell them what to do. They're stuck in Tongcheng now, feeling like walking jokes every day, completely bewildered.
This feeling is indescribably awful!
“Miss, apart from the Zhou family and the Dongdan family returning their invitations, and the Hanyu Sect and the Yin Sect not coming, all the invitations from the other sects are here.” An Zijin placed a stack of invitations on the low table next to Ji Fengyao, awaiting her reply.
Ji Fengyao carefully injected a wisp of golden blood from the golden heart into the Rejuvenation Pill, giving the pill a golden cloud pattern on its surface, making it look incredibly magical and appealing.
After doing all this, she looked up and asked, "How are the investigations going with the apprentice doctors down there?"
“The number of alchemists in our Dan Sect is almost the total number of alchemists from several peaks. They are still investigating, and there are already several suspects. Miss, would you like to see their information?” An Zijin said, taking out the list that had just been delivered to her at noon from her storage ring.
Carefully placing the Resurrection Pill into a black earthenware bottle, Ji Fengyao reached out and took the lists, saying slowly, "Let me take a look."
