Mu Ying Sect.
News about the Mu Ying Sect searching for many pill ingredients spread not only throughout Zhoguang City, but also throughout the southern region of the Ming Zhao Kingdom.
Not only did the city residents know about this, but all the other sects did the same, including the Gu Yang Sect.
The head of the Gu Yang Sect, Yan Zan, was very curious as to why Ying Ying had ordered so many of her disciples to go in search of five specific materials. Yan Zan held an urgent meeting to discuss the Mu Ying Sect's actions.
"I suspect that they are looking for pill ingredients for their sect leader's poison," said another elder.
"I think the same. Especially since all the materials they're looking for are level five and six. It's impossible for them to make low-level pills if they sent so many disciples," replied another elder.
