A Feast of Gossip at the Medicine King Sect

Li Zi knitted her brows. "Is the senior who devised that formula still alive? From what you've said, Ran Zirou didn't develop it herself, did she?"

The system answered, [The formula was the life's work of a senior from the Medicine King Sect known as the Medicine Maniac.]

The system rustled through the book. It seemed to find something infuriating, and even the hum of its electrical current turned unsteady.

[This is outrageous! In the previous life, that senior died at the hands of Demonic Cultivators. They wiped out ninety percent of the Medicine King Sect, but some of his formulas survived. Then someone took a Bone-Cleansing Pill and suddenly awakened a Spiritual Root one day. The news spread like wildfire. Ran Zirou heard about it and came to investigate. By chance, she discovered the pill's effects. She didn't develop the Bone-Cleansing Pill, but she got all the credit.]

[And the worst part is that the Demonic Cultivators targeted the Medicine King Sect because of Ran Zirou. To escape the Demon Prince's pursuit, she sent out false information and lured his people to the sect.]

Li Zi drew a deep breath, trying to bring her soaring blood pressure down.

Ran Zirou really was a walking calamity!

How many people had she harmed?

She'd deserved to be struck dead by Heavenly Thunder!

Li Zi clenched her fists. [System, I was going to ask you for the formula, give it to Master, and have the Spirit Sword Sect spread it. But now that the person who created it is still alive, we can't steal his work. I'm going to the Medicine King Sect to find him.]

The system was a little moved. [Host, that's great! There's plenty of gossip at the Medicine King Sect, too. We can enjoy some while we're there!]
