The Alchemy Commission

"Besides, I had someone look over that prescription later. To think they could actually come up with something like harvesting Vidyadhara marrow while the donor is still alive... I really misjudged her before," Stelle said, her tone filled with indignation.

"It's alright. This incident on the Luofu surely has something to do with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. Next time we see her, we'll go up there with you, Stelle, and beat her up."

Welt also earnestly cautioned, "While continuing our Trailblaze, you must remain vigilant. Never trust others too easily. While the friendships forged during the Trailblaze are indeed precious, you must always ensure your own safety first."

"Mm, I understand," Stelle nodded.

"Everyone, so this is where you are." At that moment, Gu Yu arrived to find us after receiving orders.

"Master Diviner Fu Xuan is ready. I have been ordered by the Master Diviner to escort you all to the Divination Commission."

"Let's go. Stop thinking about all that messy stuff. We're going to the Divination Commission to listen in; it'll be a good change of pace," Xiao Xi said, patting Stelle on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Mm, let's go then." The group boarded a Skiff, and as it sailed out of the port, they headed toward the Divination Commission.

Just as everyone stepped off the Skiff, the ground suddenly trembled with an unusual vibration, and the sound of something growing seemed to echo from the distance.

"Everyone, look! What, what is that? It's huge—a massive tree is growing up!" March 7th exclaimed.

"That is the miracle of Abundance sealed away on the Luofu Xianzhou, the root of disaster that was personally severed by the Aeon of The Hunt, 'Lan', thousands of years ago—the Ambrosial Arbor." Gu Yu's gaze was heavy, and her voice was grave. "Yet now, it has sprouted once again..."

"Ah, is, is it that serious? Should we still go to interrogate Kafka, given that something like this has happened?" March 7th asked, sounding somewhat hesitant.

"We must go, of course. Things must be dealt with one by one. Besides, the sealed Ambrosial Arbor wouldn't sprout for no reason; we might even find some clues from the Stellaron Hunter." Gu Yu's tone remained heavy, but she tried her best to stay calm.

"Ms. Gu Yu is right. Considering the timing of the Stellaron Hunters' arrival, Kafka might indeed know something," Welt mused.

By now, the tremors had completely ceased. Looking toward the high ground in the distance, one could see the previously bare branches of the Ambrosial Arbor now covered in dense foliage. Those leaves were like a green ocean, swaying gently in the breeze as if it were a vibrant, living forest.

This green ocean stretched to the horizon, contrasting beautifully with the blue sky and white clouds. At the top of the Ambrosial Arbor sat a massive canopy, majestic and grand like a green fortress. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of golden light.

Amidst the dense foliage, one could occasionally spot strange-looking fruits and flowers, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Let's not waste any more time." Ms. Gu Yu's pace quickened significantly. "We must find Master Diviner Fu Xuan first. After the interrogation of Kafka is complete, the Luofu will surely take action regarding this situation. I expect we will have to trouble you all then, and I thank you in advance." With that, she bowed to the group.

"Since we have already reached an agreement, if the Luofu requires assistance regarding such a major event as the sprouting of the Ambrosial Arbor, the Express will be more than happy to help," Welt said, offering comfort to Gu Yu.
