Alex walked out of the room a little early and went to talk with Ma Rong.

"Master, are you there?" he asked as he knocked on the door. He didn't dare use his spiritual sense to check inside as that would be intrusive to his master's personal space and a stupid move in general. 

"Come in," she said and called him in. 

Alex walked in through the automatically unlocked door and saw Ma Rong cultivating on top of her bed. 

"What's wrong? You need something?" she asked. 

"It's… I'm actually here to talk about Wan Li," he said. 

"Wan Li? What about him?" Ma Rong asked with a weird face. 

"Wan Li looks like he is really hardworking and genuinely interested in alchemy. But he seems to be held back by his bad memory. I was wondering if I should give him a Spirit cleansing lily or not," Alex said. 

"You have more? I thought you used up all?" Ma Rong asked with surprise.
