Bei Gong Tang and the others never thought that she would leave just like this, and that she would even have finished asking for leave
“Fatty, I’m sorry. I can’t stay to watch your tests. You guys have to do your best!” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
“We will.” Fatty Qu said solemnly, “We’ll wait for you in the inner sect.”
“Alright. I’ll bring a few items from the Ninth Star Ocean back with me.” Sima You Yue said.
After saying her goodbyes, Sima You Yue went to another house and told Sima Lie that she was going to leave. Although Sima Lie was extremely worried, he was helpless to stop her.
Once she had left the Xuanyuan Pavilion, it was already evening.
“If you tarried any longer, I would have assumed our deal void.” Wu La Li said.
“I’ve always been a man of my word.” Sima You Yue replied, “When are we going?”
“Now.” Wu La Li opened a space portal after speaking, leading her through.
Once Sima You Yue had reappeared, they were standing in a deep forest.
“This shouldn’t be the Ninth Star Ocean, right?” Sima You Yue said as she looked at the trees that were sky-high.
“No, but it’s pretty close.” Wu La Li said, “Once we cross the forest and another stretch of mountains, we’ll be there.”
“Then what are we doing here?”
“Waiting for someone.”
Wu La Li sat down on a boulder. Sima You Yue saw that there were many pill ingredients around her, even a few that the spirit pagoda didn’t have, and thought about how it should be fine, before taking out a shovel to dig a few up.
“You really are practical, aren’t you? You don’t waste a thing!” Wu La Li mocked.
“I don’t know about practical, but at least I won’t let it go to waste.” Sima You Yue dug up a herb and threw it directly into the spirit pagoda without even shaking the soil off.
“These ingredients are a dime a dozen. It isn’t rare at all.”
“In the eyes of alchemist, the most common of ingredients are treasures.” Sima You Yue continued to dig it up, passing the time this way.
“Ah?”
When the herbs were dug out, she realised through the hole left behind that there were quite a few ores buried underground.
“What’s wrong?” Wu La Li asked when he saw that she had stopped.
“Prince Wu La, have you come here before?” Sima You Yue asked.
“No, why?”
“Nothing.” Sima You Yue looked at the ores buried in the soil. Based on the state of the soil, it seemed that ores had been here for a few years. She wondered who left them here.
Wu La Li walked over and was similarly surprised when he saw the ores. “How strange. There are actually ores here.”
