The headmaster and the deputy headmaster looked at each other and pondered for a moment. “What kind of spirit herbs were stolen? Do you have a list? Did you go to the contribution point place to see if some students stole them to exchange for the contribution point?”
“We’ve investigated, we found nothing. The stolen spirit herbs were of miscellaneous types, mainly spirit ginseng. Now there is less than one-third of spirit ginseng at the Pharmacy Division’s mountain peak. We are afraid that if this goes on, there will be a shortage of spirit ginseng in the academy. We’ll have nothing to offer to many of our Pharmacists and also Alchemists at the Alchemy Division.”
Aware of the seriousness of the problem, the headmaster told the deputy headmaster, “Follow up on this matter. After seeing the situation, transfer a few people from the Spirit Division or the Mystical Division to guard the peak. Be sure to catch the spirit herb thieves.”
“Mm, I’ll do it now.” Old Guan nodded. He looked at those few people and asked, “When does the theft usually occur? Do you have any records?
“Yes, it’s usually at mealtime.” One of the teachers answered.
“Mealtime?”
The deputy headmaster was startled. He nodded. “Yes, all the teachers are taking their meals at that time. Naturally, it’s the best time to commit a crime. Mm, I know, you go back first. Wait until I go to the Spirit Division and the Mystical Division to transfer a few people. Then, I’ll go to the Pharmacy Division’s mountain peak to take a look.”
The teachers were relieved. They nodded and a.s.sented, leaving together in a group.
On the other side, after cultivating, Feng Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting clarification about her five-element spiritual roots. After a long absence from the outside world, she entrusted the cave-dwelling to the three beasts. She sat on the flying feather and went to the Mystical Division to ask whether her brother had come out of the mystical tower.
When she came to the Mystical Division, she saw that the deputy headmaster was taking some students from the Spirit Division and some students from the Mystical Division to come out. She could not be rude when she met them face to face, so she went forward and gave a salute.
