Very quickly, everyone entered the bronze door. Immediately, the alchemy plaza felt like it was empty, leaving behind a large crowd of spectating disciples.

At this time, Gongsun Yun, who was in the center of the alchemy plaza, looked in the direction of Shi Ling's group and then took a deep breath of smoke. At this time, a person walked over and laughed loudly: "Lord hall master, I wonder who you think will win this time's Medicine Refinery Assemble?"

Gongsun Yun glanced at the person who spoke. Who else but hall master and Yuan Sha could it be? This person's skin was dark and there was a very ugly birthmark on his right cheek. He was wearing a tight black cloak and was stroking his goatee from time to time.

Gongsun Yun didn't want to pay attention to him and didn't answer Yuan Sha's question. Instead, he asked, "What about Vice hall master?"

Yuan Sha burst into laughter again. Next to him, a young man in a pale blue shirt walked over and calmly said, "I think the one with the most chance of winning is probably the son of Yuan Sha, Yuan Hao."

The one who had spoken was none other than the Medicine Refinery Hall Great Supervisor, Xu An. After he said this, Gongsun Yun turned to look at him and said: "You're that confident?"

Xu An smiled and shook his head, but he didn't say anything else. Yuan Sha interjected, "It's not confidence, but absolute strength!"

Towards this, Gongsun Yun merely snorted coldly, then, Yuan Sha's gaze once again turned to look at the Dwarf, who was in front of them, the great grandmaster of the Medicine Refinery Hall, Xu Ye, and asked: "What does the great grandmaster think of this competition?"

However, Xu Ye, who had his back facing the crowd, didn't seem to hear Yuan Sha's words. He just stood there quietly without saying anything for a long time, which made Yuan Sha feel a little awkward.

This time, Yuan Sha's voice was a little louder, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear it. However, Xu Ye did not react and just stood there quietly.

At this moment, the Chief Supervisor Xu An, who was behind Yuan Sha, walked over. He came to Xu Ye's side, squatted down, and whispered into Xu Ye's ear, "Father, someone is talking to you!"

Xu An frowned as he looked at Xu Ye's face. When he saw that Xu Ye's eyes were closed and he was snoring softly, he was stunned for a moment. Then, with a wry smile, he turned to Yuan Sha, Gongsun Yun, and the others behind him and said, "Father is asleep."

The group of Medicine Refinery Hall higher ups were all speechless, but they did not say anything more.

At this moment, Gongsun Yun's gaze looked towards the sky. A bronze door that was suspended in the air took another deep breath.

"..."

At that moment, in a valley, a white ray of light suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the ground. Following that, the figures of people inside appeared. It was Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan.

Shi Ling looked at the dense plants and all kinds of flowers, and said: "This is where Medicine Refinery Hall is used to cultivate the herbs?"

He felt that the air was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs, and then he smiled: "Medicine Refinery Hall is indeed generous, for a Medicine Refinery Assemble, you actually did not hesitate to give your own medicine field, and even allowed others to take it as they pleased."

In regards to this, Gongsun Xiaoxuan explained, "There are over a dozen places that Medicine Refinery Hall can be used to grow medicinal herbs, and this is just one of the smaller herb fields. Furthermore, no matter how much more you gather, if you can't use them all up in Medicine Refinery Assemble in the future, the extra medicinal herbs will have to be returned, and even if you manage to refine them into medicinal pills, you will have to hand them over. So, this is equal to us collecting and refining the medicinal herbs for the Medicine Refinery Hall, and in the end, they did not lose anything.

After Shi Ling heard this, the corner of his eyes couldn't help but twitch. He couldn't help but scold in his mind, "What a sly old fox. This wishful thinking is really good."

Then, Gongsun Xiaoxuan took out a piece of jade plate. She looked at it and said, "Come and see, this is the herb we want to collect. As time is limited, we have to hurry."

Shi Ling heard this and walked over. He looked at the names of twenty or so herbs, which was quite a lot and also had a year requirement. After knowing what herbs to look for, Shi Ling said: "Let's go."

Gongsun Xiaoxuan nodded in acknowledgement before the two of them headed deeper into the depths of the valley.

As they walked, Shi Ling opened up the Floral Pupil. Suddenly, all the herbs within a thousand meter radius around Shi Ling were captured by Shi Ling. Even if they were covered by other plants or hidden in soil 500 meters below, Shi Ling could still find them easily.

Don't ask Shi Ling why his Floral Pupil is so powerful, because it is so willful after reaching the third petal blooming. If Shi Ling is willing, he can even see through girls' clothes, but Shi Ling isn't so bored.

Afterwards, with the help of Shi Ling's Floral Pupil, the two of them quickly found the herbs that they wanted to collect. Although there were a few times where they came across some troublesome things, such as Demonic Beast s that looked after the herbs, or living plant objects, but fortunately, these were all dangerous. When there was still a quarter of an hour left, the two basically collected all the herbs, but there was still a main ingredient missing, the 'Purple Fragrance'.

The two of them searched for more than a dozen places where the purple incense could grow, but they couldn't find it. This made them feel a little desperate, because without the purple incense, there was no point in thinking about the Spirit Flame Pill that Gongsun Xiaoxuan was going to refine.

Shi Ling, who was still walking on the mountain path, scanned the surroundings with all his might as if he was the clairvoyant. However, after looking around at 360 degrees, he finally sighed and Gongsun Xiaoxuan asked: "Still not here?"

Shi Ling nodded when he heard this and said, "Are you sure that this medicinal valley really has purple and fragrant flowers?"

Gongsun Xiaoxuan also revealed a hesitant expression and said uncertainly, "Logically speaking, there should be. This is because all of the recorded herbs in the Medicine Refinery Hall can be found here, it's just a matter of how many."

After saying that, she looked around her surroundings and said, "And the Purple Fragrance was something that I had investigated before. If the Medicine Valley hadn't been planted, I wouldn't have chosen it as my main flavor medicine."

When Shi Ling heard this, he gently shook his head and immediately said: "Then let's look for it."

Gongsun Xiaoxuan could only nod her head in agreement. However, after calculating the time by pinching her fingers, there was still a little more than a quarter of an hour left. She did not know if she would be able to find it during this period of time.

Shi Ling closed his eyes and released the Floral Pupil once again. However, at this moment, Shi Ling's eyes suddenly widened and he pushed Gongsun Xiaoxuan, who was beside him, onto the ground.

Gongsun Xiaoxuan was shocked by Shi Ling's sudden action. She immediately wanted to resist, but when she saw an arrow flying through the air, piercing through the place she was previously at, her eyes widened.

At this moment, Shi Ling stood up and Gongsun Xiaoxuan followed suit. Both of them looked in the direction the arrow came from almost at the same time.

Several figures were standing on top of a hundred-meter-tall tree. They were sneering at Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan.

Shi Ling and Gongsun Xiaoxuan recognized him at a glance. Immediately, they whispered to each other, "Yuan Hao!"
