After hearing Elder Yun's explanation, Bai Yin and Xie Xiaoyu could only give wry, helpless smiles.
Just as Elder Yun had said, the Five Provinces Academy's Alchemy Department had few students to begin with. Although a number of students from mysterious backgrounds had arrived recently, they hadn't been admitted for various reasons.

As for the instructors in the Alchemy Department, most were only Seventh-level Alchemists—and padded ones at that. It was doubtful they could even concoct a Tier Seven Healing Potion, let alone a Tier Eight Healing Medicine.
"What do we do now?" Bai Yin sighed. "If the Root Cutting Sect attacks again, you'll definitely be in trouble in your condition, Master."
