Bang!
Violently making her wa inside the alchemy room Xuan Hao had been in just moments ago, Wan Qiu did not waste any time before making her way over towards the table filled with the different spiritual herbs and three strength potions made earlier by Xuan Hao.
"This is…?"
Seeing the low rank spiritual herbs, Wan Qiu was slightly surprised for a short moment before focusing on the three strength potions still left alone on the table.
Perhaps he just came to brew a few potions for his disciples to use…?
Thinking this as she observed the three strength potions in front of her, Wan Qiu picked up one of the three bottles before inspecting the liquid inside curiously.
"T-this!?"
At first just glancing over the liquid inside the potion bottle, Wan Qiu could not help but let a small, surprised voice escape from her lips as she focused her full attention on the liquid inside the potion bottle. Growing more and more excited with each passing second.
"This is a new recipe for the strength potion! Even if the herbs and order are the same, the refinement method towards the end is completely different!"
Smiling from ear to ear as she said this out loud to herself, Wan Qiu soon looked around the room supesciously before taking away the other two remaining potion bottles.
Whoosh!
Making a straight line through the Alchemy Hall, as she returned to her alchemy room.
Surprising a certain alchemy elder that had just left her room and was on his way over towards the alchemy room Xuan Hao had stayed in to take care of the spiritual herbs or other things he had left behind before a few servants from the servant quarters would come and clean up the place.
"She sure is excited about something… I just hope it doesn't result in any accidental explosions again…"
Muttering this to himself as he thought about a few other times Wan Qiu had been so excited about something in the past, the alchemy elder unconsciously sped up as he moved away from the location of Wan Qiu's alchemy room…
…
After leaving behind the Alchemy Hall, Xuan Hao decided to first go and visit the Formation Hall of the Flying Sword Sect.
The Formation Hall, completely different from the Alchemy Hall that was mostly empty. At least had a moderate number of disciples coming and going…
While not close to a place like the Blacksmithing Hall or Beast Tamers Stable that most of the disciples ended up choosing as their second profession. The Formation Hall could still be considered successful in gaining at least a dozen or so new members every year, compared to the Alchemy Hall that were happy when they got even a single disciple to join them…
This in turn, had also resulted in the Formation Hall itself being much larger than the Alchemy Hall, so as to accommodate the larger number of people who stayed there.
Still, the number of disciples who have a profession of sorts is still small compared to the disciples who chose to just focus solely on cultivation…
The main reason for this being the current sect master, Feng Chen, who was famous for being solely dedicated to his cultivation. Not spending even, a single second learning about professions and just focusing on improving his cultivation base.
The younger generation of the Flying Sword Sect highly admired their sect master for this and a lot of them were following in his footsteps, hoping to one day become a powerful Nascent Soul Realm Expert like him…
"Hah… Why could there not just be more disciples wanting to be like Elder Song among the younger generation? They already admire him anyway…"
Sighing to himself upon thinking about this, Xuan Hao landed a few dozen meters away from the Formation Hall. Not being discovered by the nearby disciples, due to a well-placed tree blocking his descent from view.
"Hm?"
The moment he began walking over in the direction of the Formation Hall, Xuan Hao clearly felt himself passing through some transparent barrier of sorts, as the temperature around him suddenly changed to become more comfortable.
"So, this is a formation…?"
Xuan Hao could not help but mutter to himself as he felt the qi between heaven and earth flowing in all sorts of different patterns around him. Ending up regulating the temperature inside the formation to room temperature.
The use was completely different from what he had experienced from formations elsewhere. One being the protective formation surrounding the Flying Sword Sect, while the other was the Realm Destruction Formation that he had experienced back in the secret realm.
Not really comparable to a formation that changed the temperature of the surrounding environment by a tiny bit…
"Greetings Elder, are you perhaps here for something…?"
Walking towards the entrance of the Formation Hall, Xuan Hao felt a bit surprised when he suddenly saw a relatively young disciples dressed in the robes belonging to an inner disciple appear in front of him.
"Yeah, I'm here to visit the Formation Hall's library to look up on a few formations…"
"The library… Want me to show you there elder?"
"Sure…"
Not knowing what the sudden pause after the library was about, Xuan Hao decided to just go along with it and accepted the inner disciple's kind intentions to show him the way. Even if he could just scan the area with his divine sense and instantly locate the library in question…
At the very least, the inner disciple in question did not seem to realize who he was and just presumed he was a normal elder.
"Hey, isn't that-"
"Yeah, is she here to try and enter the Formation Hall again…? How many times does this make, five? Seven?"
"Looks like there is an elder besides her as well… Maybe she managed to pass the test?"
Listening to what the surrounding disciples were saying, Xuan Hao quickly managed to find out that the inner disciple showing him over to the Formation Hall's library, was in fact someone who had tried to enter the Formation Hall for the past few years! Even delaying her own cultivation in order to spend more time on her attempts to pass the test for entering the Formation Hall…
The only thing that confused Xuan Hao, was the fact that the young disciple beside him had managed to fail the test to enter the Formation Hall…
After all, compared to the Alchemy Hall that had no test whatsoever and happily accepted anyone with open arms, the Formation Hall had at least some requirement for the disciples who wanted to enter.𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
It was just… The test was mostly just a formality and was not really supposed to bar any disciples from entering. Given that the disciple beside him even managed to fail such a test in the first place could be counted as an achievement of sorts…
No matter what, the Formation Hall would be more than happy to accept more disciple than just a dozen a year or so, as it would also mean that Elder Song would allocate more resources to them…
Just how bad did she do to continuously fail to enter the Formation Hall…?
Wondering this as he looked down on the young girl in question walking a bit in front of him, Xuan Hao could not help but grow curious.
The girl was ignoring the people talking around them, as she had moved slightly in front of him so as to lead the way, but Xuan Hao could clearly feel how nervous she was the moment she stepped through the entrance of the Formation Hall.
A few of the Formation Hall's elders also seemed to recognize the young girl, as they were about to walk over. Only to stop the moment they saw the person that was walking behind her.
Even if most of the disciples were not familiar with him and could not recognize him, there was no way that the elders did not know who he was!
"…"
About to walk over and greet him, Xuan Hao quickly signalled for the Formation Hall's elders to back away as he followed the young disciples deeper into the Formation Hall.
Slowly making their way through all sorts of different hallways before finally ending up at the entrance to the library.
It was only after standing at the entrance to the library that Xuan Hao realized the fact that the different hallways were a part of some sort of formation.
The realization both shocked and intrigued him at the same time. Given the fact that he had not noticed anything off before leaving the formation as someone in the Domain Lord Realm… There was also the case of the young disciple, who was not even a member of the Formation Hall knowing her way through such a formation in the first place-
"W-we are here!"
Coming to a stop in front of the entrance to the library of the Formation Hall, the young disciple nervously turned around as she informed him about their arrival.
"Is there something else…?" Seeing the young disciple staying around and even beginning to fidget with her hands. Evidently wanting to say something, Xuan Hao asked with a curious look on his face.
