Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 308 A wasted trip?

Lu Rong shook her head.

"It's too dangerous, we might as well burn it on the spot."

Hua Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, this thing looks extremely poisonous. If it accidentally gets on us, we'd probably die."

He changed his mind. "How about this, I'll record it with a recording stone, and then burn it immediately afterward, so as not to harm any other innocent people."

Lu Rong nodded, "Okay."

The two appeared at the entrance of the Alchemist Guild at 3:45 AM.

The night watchman on duty at the Alchemist Guild saw them coming and raised his hand to stop them, saying, "Alchemist registration and level assessment are open from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Please come during the day."

Lu Rong and Hua Xuan exchanged a glance, and then Hua Xuan stepped forward.

"Is such that……"

"Brother, I have something here that I might need to consult with someone from the Alchemist Guild. I wonder if you could help me figure it out?"

The night watchman was a rather haggard young man who looked a few years older than them. Upon hearing this, he involuntarily yawned and asked, "What is it?"

Hua Xuan turned his head, looking at the occasional crowd of people passing by on the street, and smiled, "Shall we talk about this here? This thing of mine should be considered a treasure in the eyes of you alchemists, right? Why don't we go inside and find a seat so we can appreciate it properly, and it'll be safer that way too?"

"baby?"

After scrutinizing Lu Rong and noticing her distinctive Taoist robe, the man finally agreed.

"come in."

It's not easy to turn away people from the Taiqing Sword Sect.

The group sat down at the table closest to the door.

"What baby?"

"Let me see it. What questions do you have?"

Hua Xuan leaned against the table, a black stone appearing in her palm. "Please look."

A semi-transparent image appeared before the young man's eyes.

His still somewhat drowsy eyes widened instantly upon seeing what was inside, and he sprang to his feet.

"impossible!"

When did you record this?

Seeing his flustered actions, the boy was somewhat bewildered. "Just now, on Xuanyang Street."

"just......"

The young man's expression changed several times. He immediately retreated five meters away, waved his hand, and all the doors of the Alchemist Guild were closed. He said warily,

"You all stay here, I'll go fetch the master!"

As he spoke, the young man immediately flew up to the fourth floor.

Lu Rong asked, puzzled, "Why does he look so pale?"

Hua Xuan lowered her eyes, looked at the recording stone in her hand, and smiled, "It means we weren't very lucky."

Lu Rong: "???"

They're keeping us in suspense again.

When the young man came down again, he brought another person with him.

His hair was thinning and gray, and his face looked old.

An old man appeared before Hua Xuan, wearing an outer robe, and said in a deep voice, "Boy, let me see the image-recording stone."

Hua Xuan gripped the stone tightly and asked, "Who are you...?"

“I am the main person in charge of the guild now, Miedu. Kid, this matter is of utmost importance. I don’t want you to come to my Alchemist Guild to ask questions in such a secretive and ambiguous manner.”

Hua Xuan raised an eyebrow, "Master Mie is straightforward!"

Since that was the case, he no longer concealed it, stretched out his hand, and the scene from before continued.

Miedu's brow furrowed slowly, and he thought to himself,

really!

The problem of this batch of poison has not been completely resolved! Or rather, the person behind it has struck again.

"Could this be caused by poisonous insects from the Netherworld?"

Mie Du narrowed his eyes slightly, "You're quite well-informed, kid."

The young man said modestly,

"Oh, not at all, I just overheard it."

Miedu reached out, and the image-recording stone fell into his hand.

"This thing cannot be shared, so leave it with me for now. It's getting late, you should go back. I have some important things to take care of."

Hua Xuan looked at her empty palm, somewhat surprised.

"Master Mie is gone?"

Miedu looked at him, "Since you already know the answer, what else do you want to know?"

Hua Xuan was also straightforward: "Name, origin, symptoms, and antidote prescription."

Miedu scoffed, "Young man, knowing so much won't do you any good. If I were you, I'd stay home tonight and not go anywhere."

At such a young age, he already knows how to ask for an exorbitant amount.

"Otherwise, I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to encounter this again next time."

After reminding him of the impermanence, he went upstairs.

"At dawn, please leave."

The young man bowed his head and said, "Yes."

He turned to look at Hua Xuan and Lu Rong, and said apologetically, "Please, ladies."

The two were thus bewildered and asked to leave.

Hua Xuan looked at the closed door and laughed in exasperation, "No way, he took my things and didn't even tell me the answer. This old man is too good at business!"

Lu Rong asked him, "What should we do? We've made a wasted trip."

"A wasted trip? How is that possible?"

Hua Xuan weighed the black stone that had appeared out of nowhere in his hand, and smiled meaningfully.

"This trip was still worthwhile."

The Demon Realm of the Void has reappeared in the world. I wonder when those arrogant people in the Central Plains will find out.

October 12th, at the beginning of the fourth hour (9-11 AM).

Three uninvited guests arrived outside Qiusi Courtyard.

"Knock knock."

Feng Siyue stopped reading, got up and opened the door.

Outside the door stood two men and one woman, all of whom were quite good-looking.

"You are......"

The tallest young man looked up, wearing a smile that could charm anyone. "Hello, is this the admissions office of the Pilgrimage Academy? We're here to register."

Sign up?

Feng Siyue's expression was somewhat complicated.

Is there really someone coming?

"Come in first, I'll go call for help."

The young man nodded. "Okay."

Behind him, a pretty woman dressed in black helped her pale-faced companion walk inside.
