The outside world was in turmoil, but Pill Saint Blessed Land remained as peaceful as ever.
A figure streaked across the sky, then suddenly stopped and descended into a lake.
The white-robed man looked around, suspicion in his eyes.

"No wonder the stray spiritual qi here felt different when I passed by."

Then a possibility occurred
