After Lingling was finally pushed out of the chamber, the heavy wooden door closed quietly behind her, leaving only Xuanyan, Yanmei, and Mei Lingyao inside the private alchemy hall.
Mei Lingyao gestured for Xuanyan and Yanmei to follow her deeper into the alchemy residence. The interior was far larger than it appeared from outside, with corridors leading toward numerous chambers used for cultivation, alchemy, and storage.
Most of those rooms were filled with carefully preserved materials. Shelves of spirit herbs, jade containers of refined medicines, and sealed cages containing various gu insects could be seen everywhere. There were even several chambers dedicated to beast materials of different ranks.
Seeing this, Xuanyan asked whether those beasts were still alive or not.
