"Body refining leaf, bone strengthening pill," Xuan counted the items they had gotten for the dual medicine he needed to concoct.
They were in the market, and everyone seemed friendly with Xue Ming. Perhaps too friendly. Every store she walked past, they waved.
"You've named everything on the item list, except the cathedral," said Xue Ming.
"How did you know I needed that?"
That was the last thing they needed. But the cathedral wasn't on the list. It was where all the items would be mixed in.
Without it, concocting the medicine wouldn't be possible. "Oh, I just guessed," said Xue Ming. She didn't want Xuan knowing she learned a bit of alchemy because of the alchemist exam.
"Yes, but I won't be using a cathedral," said Xuan. The cathedral was really expensive, so back in the library sect, they didn't have one.
Instead, they learned another method, giving the same results as the cathedral.
