Finding the Alchemy Room

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head. "I didn't let him see. I only checked him over in secret."

"How was it? Are you confident?" Zhang Xiaohu asked urgently.

Zhang Xiaohua still shook his head. "No. I can only give it a try. Besides, I don't think that Jade Return Pill will necessarily work. I need to hurry and refine some myself."

"But that Jade Return Pill was refined by the alchemists of Yi Xiang Peak. You..." Zhang Xiaohu did not quite trust Zhang Xiaohua's words.

Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly. "Look at me—how am I supposed to find one for you? Besides, finding an alchemy room requires long-term planning. We have to do it secretly. It has to be secluded and usable too. That won't be easy."

Zhang Xiaohua grew impatient. "Then where are your alchemy rooms? I'll go take a look myself. As long as nobody goes there, it'll do."

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment. "I do know of one place, and absolutely no one will go there. But can you avoid the eyes and ears of Yi Xiang Peak's disciples?"

"Of course. I can't say the same for people like Chen Chen, but as for the other disciples—someone like Zhong Pei can be ignored outright!" Zhang Xiaohua said proudly.

"Mm, then that's good. Didn't I just tell you that Ou Yan, Manor Lord Ou, and Sister Qiutong are on the other side of Shixin Peak? They only occupy an area near the summit. Above their courtyard is a stretch of cliff. There seem to be several alchemy rooms there. I saw them when I visited them years ago. Misty Hall
