The thick fog had yet to disperse. Other than the river, the two lands, and the bamboo forest in front of her, she could not see anything else. She could only vaguely see the shape of a mountain range in the distance.

She walked along the bluestone path into the bamboo forest. A faint fragrance of flowers entered her nose. She could tell that it was the fragrance of lotus flowers.

After walking out of the bamboo forest, her line of sight immediately became clear. A blue lake suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The surroundings of the lake were shrouded in white fog. She could not see the edge of the lake, but that was enough to indicate its size. The y-shaped bluestone bridge floated on the surface of the water.

One end of the bridge was connected to the bluestone path, and the other two were connected to the center of the lake.

On the left was a two-story bamboo house, and on the right was an unknown thing, but from the looks of it, it seemed to be a well?

She walked along the stone bridge to the center of the lake. Lotus flowers of different colors bloomed on the blue waves. Red, white, pink… They were all colorful and beautiful.

In the clear water of the lake, one could occasionally see golden fish swimming in twos and threes. The small ones were only the size of a palm, but the big ones weighed dozens of kilograms. They had no fear of Hua Shu and swam freely.

The small building and the well were built on a square platform. Lotus flowers of various colors bloomed quietly around the platform. Hua Shu first went to the bamboo building. The first floor was a living room.

Although it was a living room, there were no tables, chairs, or stools. It was just an empty room.

There was a staircase in the corner of the living room that led upstairs. Hua Shu was not in a hurry to go upstairs. Instead, she went out of the living room and turned into the corridor, visiting the other rooms from left to right.

That was because she had seen it when she was at the fork in the road. The first floor of the building was square in shape, and there was a door beside it.

The second room was about the same size as the living room. In the middle of the room, there was a stove that looked like a large cauldron.

In the corner of the room, there were more than ten stoves of the same design but of different sizes. The strange thing was that Hua Shu could tell with just a glance that this was an alchemy furnace, and this room was an alchemy room.

On the other side of the room, there was a three-story shelf. Other than a few jade bottles on the first row, the other two rows were empty.

Next to the shelf, there was a large cabinet with two doors. Behind one of the doors, there were neatly arranged jade bottles, gloves, and other tools.

Behind the other door, there were stored medicinal herbs. Although it was unknown how long ago they had been harvested, they were still fresh.

After leaving the pill refining room, she went to the next room. This room was different from the other two rooms because there was nothing in the middle, but it was surrounded by shelves and cabinets of different heights.

Hua Shu took a quick look and saw that the cabinets were filled with strange-looking stones and some mysterious objects of unknown materials.

There were four shelves. On one of them were a few weapons, earrings, rings, and other trinkets. The other three were empty.

This time, Hua Shu also found out that this was a refining room.

The next room was on the right-hand side of the living room. After opening the door, Hua Shu did not enter because this was a meditation room. Other than an earthen platform, a low table with an incense burner, and a soft cushion, there was nothing else inside.

Standing at the door, she could see everything at a glance.
