Seeing this, Ming Li's brow furrowed slightly, and she directly introduced herself: My name is Gong Ming Li.
The Great Elder: ...This name sounds so familiar.
The other elders: ...This name seems to have been heard somewhere... but for a moment I can't recall.
Suddenly, one of the elders swallowed and uncertainly called out, "Old... Old Ancestor?"
Old Ancestor?!
Upon hearing this, all the elders froze.
They remembered, it seemed... as if... the Old Ancestor's name was also Gong Ming Li from...
With this thought, all the elders' gazes instantly turned to Ming Li, who stood expressionless inside the door.
Ming Li met everyone's gaze, her little face cool and aloof, her boss-like aura perfectly maintained.
Don't panic, don't panic! Maintain the dignity of a boss.
Ming Li: I want to see your Valley Master, Yao Ling Zi.
At this moment, the Great Elder was panicking internally. Damn it, he should have asked for the other party's identity first. If he had known that the person in front of him was the Old Ancestor he had long admired, he would never have done such foolish things. He actually wanted the Old Ancestor to participate in their Medicine Valley's disciple recruitment大会, and even wanted the Old Ancestor to be his disciple... Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on the Great Elder's forehead.
The Great Elder quickly prepared to kneel before Ming Li and said, "Old... Old Ancestor, this junior Yao Tian Dan, has met the Old Ancestor."
Ming Li's lips twitched slightly, and she stopped the Great Elder from kneeling. That's enough. You're also an old bone, don't kneel down at every turn. I've wasted a lot of time here. Has your Valley Master finished his seclusion yet? I've come to ask him for something.
The Great Elder said, "Answering the Old Ancestor, our Valley Master will emerge from seclusion today. This junior will go and call him over immediately."
With that, the Great Elder quickly moved away from the scene, leaving a group of elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ming Li's gaze swept lightly over the people present and she asked, "Do you have anything else?"
The elders: ...Silently withdrew their alchemy furnaces.
"Answering the Old Ancestor, we juniors will take our leave."
After the group of elders spoke, they all scurried away and disappeared without a trace.
Ming Li: ...Am I some kind of monster? Why are they running so fast?
Over here.
The secluded cultivation place of Yao Ling Zi, the Valley Master of Medicine Valley, was filled with bursts of knocking.
Knock, knock, knock!
The Great Elder frantically hammered on Yao Ling Zi's door, "Valley Master, Valley Master! The Old Ancestor is here! Stop your seclusion! Come out quickly, the Old Ancestor has something to see you about! Valley Master!"
Yao Ling Zi, who was in seclusion, let out a loud shout. His spiritual power became unstable, and the alchemy furnace in front of him let out a "boom!" and exploded.
Yao Ling Zi, his face covered in soot from the explosion: ...My pills!! They were almost successful!! Damn it! Who is it! I'll poison him to death!
Yao Ling Zi put down the spiritual herbs in his hand, and with a dark expression, opened the door.
Before Yao Ling Zi could say anything, he heard the Great Elder's anxious voice, "Valley Master! The Old Ancestor is here! She said she has something to see you about!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Ling Zi's temper immediately vanished, and he said, "What did you say? The Old Ancestor is here! Where is she? Take me there quickly!"
The Great Elder looked at Yao Ling Zi, who was covered in black soot from the explosion, and reminded him, "Valley Master, are you sure you want to meet the Old Ancestor like this?"
Yao Ling Zi: ...
He lowered his head to look at the black soot on his body and quickly went to change into clean clothes.
The Great Elder led Yao Ling Zi to the guest room of Medicine Valley and saw a woman in red, wearing a mask, sitting by the table, holding a cup of tea and savoring it.
