What entered Wei Fang's sight when he entered the room was a parchment that was scattered everywhere. The room was messy, but clean.

A woman was sitting among the scattered parchment, scanning one parchment after another.

"Can you help me organize these alchemy notes?"

The woman didn't even turn her head, as she just continued scanning one parchment after another, not aware that the one who came was not one but two people.

"Master!" Zhu Ju said as she walked carefully towards her master, ensuring she didn't step on any parchment on the floor.

"Hmm, What?"

The woman looked up. She looked tired, with a heavy bag under her eyes.

It was at this time that the woman realized there was someone else in the room.

"Oh, there was a visitor; how rude of me. Let me tidy up the room a bit."

The woman waved her hand, and all the scattered parchment gathered above his hand before beginning to stack up one after another. The stacked parchment was so high that it almost reached the ceiling, it must be noted that ceiling in the cultivation world could be as high as ten meters.

The room that was previously messy became a bit tidier instantly.

Wei Fang was flattered; he didn't think a senior at the Core Formation realm would tidy her room just because of him.

Of course, the real reasons for the woman tidying the room were not because of Wei Fang, as at this time Zhu Ju's expression soured.

She was familiar with these moves; they were used many times by her master.

Whenever the alchemy notes piled up, her master would make her organize them, and so was this time.

It was also one of the reasons she went to the healing department; she didn't think she still had to organize it in the end.

Usually her master would just place her alchemy note anywhere without organizing it, and then she would organize it when the room was almost full of parchment.

Whenever her master became too lazy to organize it, she would call her to her room and say the same thing.

Here she comes: "I am tidying the room because my beloved disciple had come to visit; you would help your master organize the alchemy note later, right?"

"Yes, it's my honor." Zhu Ju could only agree; no matter what, she was still her master.

"Who is this friend of yours?"

"This is Wei Fang! And Wei Fang, this is my master, Elder Zhao!"

Wei Fang was surprised when he heard the introduction. Although he was already prepared, he still thought it was incredible to have a master at Core Formation realm.

"Wei Fang greets Elder Zhao!" Wei Fang bowed.

"What a polite child, so what brought you two here?"

"This, we need master help to appraise something."

"What is it?" Elder Zhao's interest was piqued; for her disciple to need her help, it must have something related to alchemy, and for her disciples to not recognize it, it might be something quite high-level.

"It's this!" Wei Fang came forward and gave the vial to Elder Zhao.

After receiving the vial, Elder Zhao looked at it for a bit before scrutinizing it.

After a while, her eyes lit up. "This vial was really something precious; it can store any medicine or pill for up to ten thousand years without decreasing the pill's medicinal properties. What is pity is that it would disintegrate after the medicine stored was used up. If only the method to manufacture it could be researched." She said with a hint of regret.

"This..."

Zhu Ju and Wei Fang looked at each other.

This was different from the script; how come Elder Zhao suddenly started to appraise the vial without looking at what was inside?

"Don't worry, I know what the two of you want me to appraise is the medicine inside it; I was just interested in the vial because it was something ingenious." Elder Zhao continued.

When Elder Zhao opened the vial, there was no sudden gushing of medicinal scent like when a precious pill was exposed to the air. But elder Zhao didn't understimate it: for the medicine to be contained inside a special vial, it must be precious.

She used her finger to touch the medicine; he looked at the medicine on his finger carefully before sniffing it, then licking it.

She knitted her brows deep in thought.

"How is it, master? Could this medicine be used by you?" Zhu Ju impatiently asked.

"This is healing ointment, right?" Elder Zhao asked instead of answering. But before any of the two answered, she continued, "I can use it, but I don't know how effective it is."

"Can I test it?" She asked Wei Fang.

Wei Fang was als curious about wheter it would really work for someone at the Core Formation realm. "Yes!"

Before Wei Gang and Zhu Ju could respond, they saw a streak of red flying in the air.

They didn't know when a knife appeared in Elder Zhao's hand, but it was already used to slash her own hand.

So this is why Zhu Ju said that many alchemists there were lunatics; she didn't even hesitate to slash her own hand just to test a medicine's effects.

Wei Fang wathced as elder Zhao used the ointment on her new wound after stopping its bleeding.

The effects of the ointment were not as great as when he used it, but they could still see the improvement with their naked eyes.

"This is great ointment!"

"Is this yours?"

"Yes!"

"Sell it to me. Don't worry; I would not make you suffer a loss. How about 5,000 spirit stones?"

Wei Fang gulped hard; it was so much spirit stone that he felt he was dreaming. But before he could even touch the spirit stones, they were gone.

"Right, you are still new disciples; going around with that many spirit stones would put you in danger." Elder Zhao instantly concluded when she felt Wei fang cultivation.

"How about this? You can join the alchemy hall without needing to pass the test."

Would I also become a lunatic if I joined the alchemy hall?

"Don't worry, even if you didn't study alchemy, just being a member here entitles you to receive a discount every time you buy a pill or medicine. Of course, the regular kind of pill."

Wei Fang's eyes lit up instantly. "I agree! I thank Elder Zhao for looking after me."

"Don't sweat it; the medicine you brought is quite precious. It was precious because it was in the form of an ointment, so researching it would be easier than researching a pill.

"You can come here to receive your identity token after you reach the middle stage of Qi condensation."

The new sect disciples were not allowed to join any organization inside the sect before they reached the middle stage.

Normally, the sect also advises the new disciples not to train in any weapon or technique except raging fist before reaching the middle stage and to just focus on cultivation and train the raging fist technique.

Only after the disciples reached the middle stages of Qi Condensation did the sect allow them to choose any martial arts in the martial library.

That was also the reason why Wei Fang didn't have any technique except the raging fist.

"Master, can you share a bit with me?" Zhu Ju suddenly asked pitifuly.

"Nope, you can research other things."

Zhu Ju suddenly became depressed. He thought, at the level of her master, she wouldn't be interested in the healing ointment; who knew she would end up taking all of it?

"Okay, now that your business here is over, you can't go back to the healing department."

They were chased out immediately.

"Then, master, is there no need for me to help you organize the alchemy note?" Zhu Ju asked, a bit hopeful.

"Nope, you already agreed to help me, so you still need to help me organize it later."

Zhu Ju became even more depressed.

When they came out of the room, Wei Fang's expression was bright and full of smiles, while Zhu Ju's expression was dark and depressed, like someone owed her thousands of spirit stones.

After being happy for a bit, he seemed to recall something.

This was usually asked by someone after they woke up, but Wei Fang forgot about it and delayed until now.

"Miss Zhu Ju, for how long was I unconscious?"

"One day."

"Fack!" Wei Fang cursed.
