With his daughter and three of his wives on his back, Taira walked towards the palace of the Profound Pill Union.
Or more accurately, the area behind the palace.
A crowd had formed in a beautiful stone garden.
Two seating areas were packed to the brim as everyone's eyes were glued to the spectacle beneath them.
Two scholars were working over simple medicinal cauldrons without any enhancements.
They each had two wooden tables nearby with a large amount of plant ingredients still waiting to be used.
From the moment that Taira and the girls showed up, they were immediately interested.
"What's mommy doing??" Yukiko leaned forward.
"Seems like a bit of alchemy, dear. And a competition too no less." Keran chuckled. "We seem to have missed a lot."
"Were you expecting us not to catch you up, my darling?"
