Night at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was much as usual. Ning Rongrong had already returned to her room to sleep, while Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin were discussing matters in the sect's main hall.
Only Ning Fengzhi and the other two were in the hall at that moment.
"Uncle Jian, do you know where these two women come from?" Ning Fengzhi handed Chen Xin portraits of Raven and A Ling, along with a sheet bearing Gu Rong's rough estimates of their cultivation.
Chen Xin had entered seclusion some days ago and had only emerged today, so naturally, he knew nothing of recent events. After reading the information Ning Fengzhi handed him, he pondered for a while, then shook his head. "At least, I've never heard of either of them."
Seeing that even Chen Xin knew nothing, Ning Fengzhi felt increasingly certain that these two were inextricably linked to the origins of the Mystic Water Pill.

Gu Rong glanced at Chen Xin, who nodded in response. Then Gu Rong told Ning Fengzhi, "Fengzhi, don't leave our side..." Before
