1492 Spirit Healing Academy
Once the room and device were prepared, Wang Xiuying lay on the bed with Yuan sitting beside her.
"I will watch over you until you return," he said with a calm smile.
Realizing that she'd be essentially sleeping with Yuan by her side, Wang Xiuying immediately became flustered.
Seeing this, Yuan chuckled and teased, "Are you worried that I might do something weird while you're inside?"
However, to his surprise, Wang Xiuying said, "Try not to wake me up if you do since I will be doing alchemy…"
Yuan's eyes widened with surprise after hearing her unexpected response, but before he could even say anything else, Wang Xiuying entered Cultivation Online.
Once inside Cultivation Online, Wang Xiuying took a minute to calm herself before she went to collect the ingredients needed for the antidote.
Since the antidote required a few rare ingredients she didn't have at hand, she had to head to the Medicine Hall, which was located at the outer court.
Wang Xiuying was a Core Disciple at the Spirit Healing Academy, one of the top sects within Spirit Heaven and the number one alchemy sect.
Although it's only been about two short years since she joined the sect, Wang Xiuying managed to rise to the top and become a Core Disciple. Her talents were considered the best in the sect, surpassing that even of their Sect Master.
While even the most talented disciples require months of memorizing ingredients before they can even start learning about alchemy, Wang Xiuying began concocting pills after just a week in the sect. The speed at which she memorized ingredients and medicine-related information was simply unheard of and terrifying.
Once an Alchemist is capable of concocting a Tier 1 pill with over 60 percent purity, they are automatically considered a Pill Disciple. They will remain a Pill Disciple until they can concoct Tier 3 pills with over 60 percent purity. Once such a feat is achieved, they will be considered a Pill Expert, and it usually requires years of experience to achieve the status of Pill Expert, with many failing to do that in their entire life.
Those who are capable of becoming a Pill Expert typically require fifteen to twenty years of experience, while the more talented ones only require around ten years. An alchemy genius could achieve that in half the time with less effort.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiuying managed to become a Pill Expert in under a year, achieving a record in the Spirit Healing Academy.
Her talents were so rare and jaw-dropping that the Sect Master of the Spirit Healing Academy wanted to accept her as a disciple and nurture her as the future Sect Master. However, this would require Wang Xiuying to remain in the sect for longer than she wanted, so she refused the position.
Naturally, the Sect Master was upset about Wang Xiuying's refusal to become the next Sect Master, but she didn't try to force Wang Xiuying to stay and even offered to have someone from the Third Heaven help her ascend to join a better sect in the future.
As Wang Xiuying flew to the Medicine Hall on her flying treasure, she thought to herself, 'I have learned everything this sect could teach me and will become a Pill Master in a few months even if I leave the sect right now… I guess it's about time I make my way to the Third Heaven soon…'
When the disciples outside the Medicine Hall noticed Wang Xiuying's arrival, they quickly approached her with respectful smiles and bowed to her.
"Good evening, Senior apprentice-sister Wang!"
"How's your alchemy been progressing? Can you concoct Tier 4 pills yet?"
"Senior apprentice-sister Wang, I have a question regarding alchemy…"
Wang Xiuying was bombarded with questions, especially alchemy-related questions. Due to her experience and knowledge surpassing even most Sect Elders, she would often give lectures to the disciples.
"Sorry, everyone, but I am in the middle of an urgent business. If you have any questions, I will be more than happy to hear them during my next lecture, which will happen at the usual location in a week." Wang Xiuying apologized to the disciples before rushing into the Medicine Hall, a tall building with ten floors.
She stopped on the seventh floor and approached one of the available workers there.
"Good evening, Healer Wang. How can the Medicine Hall assist you today?"
The worker treated her as though she was a Sect Elder.
Wang Xiuying handed a list of ingredients to the worker and said, "I need these as soon as possible."
The worker didn't even glance at the list of ingredients and nodded, "Of course. Please give me a moment to prepare the ingredients."
As a Core Disciple, Wang Xiuying had near unlimited access to the ingredients as long as they weren't too rare, and she wasn't being unreasonable with the amount. Furthermore, she was assisting the sect in producing pills exclusive to the Spirit Healing Academy, which were sold outside the sect. This allowed her to have more access than other Core Disciples, including many Sect Elders.
While Wang Xiuying waited for the ingredients, she noticed someone was approaching her from behind.
Turning around, she was greeted by a beautiful woman.
"Elder Mu." Wang Xiuying greeted the Sect Elder, who was responsible for her when she first joined the sect.
"It's been a while since I last saw you outside your peak. What are you up to this time?"
"Why are you making it sound like I am always causing trouble?" Wang Xiuying chuckled.
"Aren't you always, though?"
Wang Xiuying shook her head with a smile and continued, "I am getting ingredients for the Basilisk's Tear antidote."
"What? Basilisk's Tear? Don't tell me the victim is one of our disciples!" Elder Mu inquired.
"Don't worry, Elder Mu. The victim isn't from our sect, but he's my friend's father."
"Your friend is lucky to have you. The antidote is a difficult Tier 3 pill that only a few Sect Elders have the ability to concoct, and they aren't usually found in stores because the poison is rarely used nowadays, so you'd need to find someone to make it." Elder Mu said.
The worker returned shortly after with the ingredients prepared.
