Chapter 382: Insights into Alchemy
The war between the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had not yet reached Pill Hall's Alchemists, but they were slightly busier than before.
The conflict had not escalated to the point where Alchemists needed to take the battlefield. However, if it did reach that stage, Qingxu Sect's demise seemed imminent.
Initially, he could have hidden within the confines of Pill Hall. However, his true strength was exposed, making the Sect aware that he possessed combat abilities alongside his Alchemy skills.
Moreover, even if he could hide, he had numerous subordinates who couldn't evade the conflict. If he didn't step forward to lead, they might even be used as cannon fodder.
"Senior Brother Xu, how have you been lately?" Wang Hong spotted Xu Zhiguang from a distance, with his white beard and hair.
Wang Hong admired Xu Zhiguang's dedication to Pill Recipe. Xu Zhiguang had forsaken everything else in pursuit of perfecting his Alchemy skills, including his own combat prowess.
Though Wang Hong admired him, he had no intention of following suit. Some things were better kept under one's control, like combat abilities.
"It's Junior Brother Wang! It's been a while, Junior Brother Wang. I was just thinking about looking for you to exchange Alchemy experiences," Xu Zhiguang said upon seeing Wang Hong. His conversations always revolved around Alchemy, seemingly unaffected by the battles happening in the Cultivation World. Alchemy was his sole focus.
As they were conversing, Yuan Yong, an attendant from Pill Hall, approached Wang Hong.
"Junior Brother Wang, Master Mei requests your presence."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuan." Wang Hong expressed his gratitude and headed towards where Master Mei was located in the building.
"Disciple Wang Hong pays respects to Master Mei," Wang Hong greeted as he entered the room.
"No need for formalities, please have a seat." Master Mei seemed to have a great fondness for the art of tea. Every time Wang Hong visited, he would find her brewing tea. Unfortunately, her favorite Qiu Long Tea, of which only one plant remained, had been taken by Wang Hong.
Master Mei had an easygoing temperament and disliked unnecessary formalities. After her instruction, Wang Hong obediently took a seat at the Tea Table.
