On Great Pill Mountain, there was a secluded gazebo reserved for the Senior Apothecaries in the sect. It was a recent addition, built as part of the ongoing development on the mountain. The gazebo provided a place for apothecaries like Guo Xiaomei and Huo Zirou to rest after spending the day supervising apothecary disciples.
Currently, Yang Wei and Elder Qian were seated there, having a casual conversation.
From their brief conversation, Yang Wei learned that Elder Qian no longer stayed in the Garden of Eternal Alchemy.
The woman had spent nearly 300 years there and had chosen eternal seclusion out of personal frustration. Realizing she couldn't pass on her legacy made her bitter, so she decided to abandon everything and live her life in self-hatred.
Elder Qian had her fingers interlocked as her hands rested gently on the table between them.
"I really need to thank you for everything you've done, Wei."
