Toward the end, Sofia grinned as she said, "You're the most famous person in that part of town right now. Countless people want to meet with you."
So that was the case!
As the words came, Darryl nodded and asked, "Well, what do those Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples want with me?"
Sofia tilted her head to the side, thinking briefly before answering, "I heard that they found a few pills around an ancient tomb lately, but they don't know what the pills do.
"They heard that the Pure Yang Division had appointed a new head for the Elixir Sector and thought they'd come with the pills to have you check them out."
As she spoke, Sofia had an unreadable expression on her face.
In the past couple of years, there had been a worldwide search for the remains of history. Many sects had been combing the earth, hoping to find remnants from the past. One example was a famous sect uncovering a spiritual altar from thousands of years ago and even awakening a fearsome beast living in it.
The most recent search was conducted by the Heavenly Dragon Sect, who had gone exploring in an ancient tomb.
They had lost many men while doing so, but they had also uncovered many lost pills.
However, the Heavenly Dragon Sect knew nothing about pills, and so they sent a few disciples to the Pure Yang Division to ask the new head of the Elixir Sect for some guidance.
Whew!
Darryl frowned as he asked, "Does the Pure Yang Division have any kind of relationship with the Heavenly Dragon Sect?" Most sects would usually scramble to hide the discovered pills and even make up stories to hide the truth.
Yet, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had sent out disciples to bring the pills they had found to the Pure Yang Division. It was quite baffling.
"Sect Master!"
Sofia smiled before launching into an explanation. "Oh, don't you know? The Heavenly Dragon Sect has an alliance with us. I think they can be considered allies to the Pure Yang Division.
"The founder of the Heavenly Dragon Sect was a disciple of the Pure Yang Division. He may have started his own sect, but he still respected the Pure Yang Division greatly. Thus, the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples have always viewed us as family.
On the other hand, Sofia had been good and obedient. It would be nice to teach her a few pill-making skills before he returned to the Nine Mainland, for he might not get a chance to see her again.
"Sect Master!"
Sofia's eyes lit up as she bit her lip before saying hesitantly, "I regret to say I tried making the pills according to the formula you gave me last night, but I failed every single time."
Sofia had a pretty apologetic expression on her face.
Sofia had wanted to ask about that. Yet, she had been too shy to bring it up, but Darryl asked about it anyway. That made her excited and also nervous at the same time.
Darryl chuckled at the look on her face, saying, "You can ask me if you're stumped. No need to be afraid. Come on, let's go to the study."
Sofia was delighted but hesitated at the very last second. "But Sect Master, the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples are still waiting in the Wild Crane Restaurant." The Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples might not have a high status, but they were guests after all.
