When Murong Xue came back, there was only Feng ZiLing, which made her feel confused. "Where are the others?"

Pointing at the faraway forest, Feng ZiLing answered, "They are all there for cultivation and they barely rest these days." She was no exception, but she returned earlier than them. Murong Xue spent a few days outside, but it had been decades for them in the Space. Feng ZiLing was not as surprised about Mu Tian's achievements as before after she entered the Space, a magic weapon that made everything possible.

Feng ZiLing did not see her brother and wondered, "Oh, where is my brother?"

"Over there. You'd better go and check on him. He seems in a bad mood." Murong Xue pointed to the fall.

Feng ZiLing nodded and ran to her brother.

Meanwhile, Murong Xue decided to check on those in the forest. She did not want to disturb them, so she kept it as quietly as she could. She kept a distance and used her spiritual sense to watch them. To her surprise, all of them were one level higher than before and Wu Xiaomei, the weakest one, was at yellow-level now.

She left as quietly as she came and got out of the Space.

The next day, Murong Xue entered the Space and found that all of them returned from the forest. It was time for them to hit the road.

"Congratulations on your progress! Now we should leave here. Are you ready?" Murong Xue took a look at Feng Ziling and saw his calm face, so she thought that he should be fine.

Different from before, everyone was energetic and aspiring. They all nodded, "Let's go!"

They put their hands on Murong Xue's, and they found themselves in the room the next moment.

Lin Nan and the others left the room and went downstairs first. Feng Ziling returned the key to the inn owner and followed them out.

The inn owner took the key and felt confused.

He remembered that only two of those people showed up yesterday, but now they all came out of the same room. He wondered how they spent the crowded night, but he would never find the answer.

Murong Xue and Feng Ziling were tired and anxious to find a place to stay overnight, so they did not have time to appreciate the view here yesterday.

Therefore, with eyes full of various goods, Murong Xue now felt excited. Many handcrafts she had never seen dazzled and surprised her.

Following behind her, Lin Nan and the others were embarrassed. They tried to keep a distance and pretended to be strangers to Mu Tian when he observed a pan for a long time and gasped in admiration.

On the other hand, they understood why Mu Tian acted like this. After all, Mu Tian was from another world, so it was very normal for him to feel surprised.

They hung around for half a day and then they hired a carriage, heading for the city center where Longyu College was. They were near the city gate now, so it would at least take them three days to get there.

People were not allowed to use spiritual power to leap or fly in the city and those who violated it would be treated as enemies.

Murong Xue and the others were unable to fly for a long time so far because their spiritual power would be in short supply. According to the legend, people who were above purple-level could walk in the sky.

After a couple of days, they finally arrived at East City's imperial capital. The roads here were wider and cleaner. Instead of chaotic stalls, tidy shops and stores lined both sides of the streets, which made the capital's majesty manifest.

The roads were dense with passengers, most of whom were teenagers and the pride from every local district.

The carriage was not allowed in the imperial capital, so they got out and moved on foot. They were already conspicuous in numbers, and Mu Tian and the two siblings from the Feng Family were too attractive, which made many people turn heads.

Many handkerchiefs were thrown at Murong Xue and some people even ran into her. Even if she had been a fool, she would have understood that these girls were paying court to her.

"It seems that I'm very charming?" Murong Xue felt delighted.

But there came immediate objection and bright disdain. Feng ZiLing said, "You shameless playboy!"

The rest of them all nodded in agreement, which showed the consensus.

"Alas, take a look at me. My beautiful posture, handsome face, and my wisdom. Don't worry. I can understand why you guys envy me. It's totally acceptable." Murong Xue began to indulge in self-admiration. While bragging about herself, she winked at a girl with a shy smile by the road.

Finally, the others could not stand it.

Feng Ziling took her by the collar and dragged her into an inn.

Up in the air, Murong Xue tried to persuade him, "Dude, put me down. Violence is not a choice even if you're jealous of me."

Feng Ziling took a cold look at the one in his hand and wondered why this kind of person would exist in the world. Mu Tian made him nervous and restless, which he did not like, but he would never want to hurt him.

Mu Tian made Feng Ziling…

Feng Ziling’s eyes went dark, and he put Mu Tian down.

Feng Ziling said to the reception, "Seven rooms!"

"Okay!"

Not for long, the rooms were ready, but they did not dismiss. Instead, they gathered in one room and discussed plans for days to come.

Feng Ziling suggested, "The deadline for Longyu College's entries is in three days. You should go and sign up tomorrow. The sooner, the better. The places are limited." He and his sister were already students of Longyu College, so they did not need to take the exam. However, they were worried about Mu Tian and the others.

"Then let's do it tomorrow."

"But my cultivation hasn't met the threshold..." Wu Xiaomei, the weakest one, bit her lip.

Murong Xue comforted her, "Don't worry. They might ease restrictions for your alchemy. Remember the Space. After signing up tomorrow, you will enter the Space and cultivate. There is one week to go before the examination, so you don't need to stress yourself. No matter what, we won't leave you behind."

Wu Xiaomei knew that the others would never give up on her and that was exactly why she felt worse. She felt that she was holding the team back, which was the same as the battle last time. She could do nothing helpful for others. She used to play the role of medic, but Mu Tian did much better than her. She was not jealous of Mu Tian, but she hated herself for being good for nothing. She felt that she was so untalented that she was unable to catch up with them no matter how hard she worked.

The others said the same, "Xiaomei, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself."

Wu Xiaomei forced a bitter smile.

Frowning, Murong Xue knew that this problem would haunt Wu Xiaomei and it would turn into a complex sooner or later, which was a great handicap to cultivation.

"You go ahead. I need to go to the Space for something." Murong Xue entered the Space and saw the chubby Xiaobai. Picking it up, she asked, "Xiaobai, is there any way to improve one's aptitude?"

Xiaobai glanced at her and answered, "You have Heavenly Body. What else do you want?"

"Not me. It’s for Wu Xiaomei. Do you know or not?"

"Oh, that girl. She is weak, but there is a way."

Murong Xue was happily surprised, "Oh, tell me. What's it?"

"She needs Wastewahing Pill." Xiaobai gave the answer and went on eating its magical fruits. It did not make any progress on its cultivation and the inhibition spell on it remained unsolved. However, Xiaobai did not plan to tell Murong Xue for her own good, which was caused by the combination of her low cultivation and her identity.

Hearing the name of Wastewashing Pill, Murong Xue let go of Xiaobai and ran to the Nine-stage Pagoda as she remembered that the Medicine Book recorded how to make it.

Xiaobai's bottom hit the ground and hurt, which contributed to its disdainful look at Murong Xue.

Murong Xue found the book, which read that Wastewashing Pill was a Level 7 pill. Only alchemy masters and stronger alchemists could make it. But Murong Xue was only able to make pills of Level 6.

But she did not give up hope. She collected all the herbs for making the pill. Luckily, the Space was omnipotent, so rare herbs were also available here, some of which were still mysterious to her now. But she knew these herbs were rare.

Pitifully, the reality was not as good as her expectation.

She spent a month making the pill in the Space but failed again and again. It was not easy to raise the level of alchemy.

She wasted lots of herbs, but the abundant accumulation of millions of years guaranteed the supply, which ordinary people could not afford. Alchemists were people who earned a lot and spent a lot.

Xiaobai found it hard to watch, so it gave a hint, "You tried the same way and failed so many times. Don't you think you are following the book blindly? Some of the methods given in the book are not fit for all." Xiaobai left Murong Xue alone as it believed that such a brilliant girl could understand the meaning.

Hearing this, Murong Xue stopped and began to ponder.
