The young man who everyone called Young Master Wang was wearing a royal blue silk brocade robe. Looking at his sleeves that had been pulled out of shape by everyone, he rolled his eyes with a baffled expression.

He was called Wang Qian, who was known to all as the most knowledgeable person in the world. However, he had never seen this young man before. This caused him to become curious about this young man's identity.

After taking off the notice, Gu Shiyi folded it and put it in her sleeve. After walking through a few streets, she finally found the Thousand Star Pavilion's secret door in a hidden alley.

Be it the environment or the security of the city, this place was the worst place in the entire Capital Xia. Even so, there was not a single person living within a hundred meters of the hidden door.

The weird face of Yin Yang, the ferocious head of a monster … it couldn't be wrong, this was the place.

Gu Shiyi took a deep breath, and walked forward and started to knock on the door regularly. After knocking on the door thrice, the Yin and Yang faces were split into two, and the door was immediately opened up, revealing a bare stone path, which extended directly to another opened door. It was a pitch black inside, where nothing could be seen.

Just as Gu Shiyi's feet stepped onto the bluestone path, and her body had completely entered the door, the door closed in a flash, and Gu Shiyi walked towards the darkness without hesitation.

"May I ask if you are here to buy or to sell?"

Just as Gu Shiyi finished walking down the limestone path, a youth dressed in green suddenly appeared in front of her, his face expressionless.

Gu Shiyi was flabbergasted. Her skill in disguising herself as a man used a lot of modern techniques, other than herself, no one could tell that she was the daughter of another person. This seemingly nameless servant saw through her disguise with a glance, which made Gu Shiyi's curiosity towards Thousand Star Pavilion increase even more.

"I came here for that!"

After she finished speaking, Gu Shiyi took out the medicine notice the Thousand Star Pavilion had pasted on the notice board.

"So this lady is an expert. Please follow me!"

Seeing Gu Shiyi take out the notice, the servant's eyes immediately revealed shock, her tone becoming more respectful. After clasping her hands at Gu Shiyi, he brought Gu Shiyi to the deeper parts of the door.

Gu Shiyi followed the servant through three similar doors and three similarly dark rooms. After entering the fourth door, his eyes suddenly lit up, causing Gu Shiyi to instinctively cover his eyes.

When she opened her eyes again and looked at the scene before her, Gu Shiyi was shocked. Under the glaring sunlight, she saw a magnificent palace shining brightly in front of her.

Even so, in his heart, Gu Shiyi's expression quickly returned to normal after being momentarily impressed. It was said that the Thousand Star Pavilion's financial resources were comparable to the national treasury, so it was not strange for such a magnificent palace to be here.

Only, Gu Shiyi was suspicious about why she could not see anything within such a huge palace. When she thought of the numerous doors and dark rooms that the servant had passed through, the corners of Gu Shiyi's mouth rose in understanding.

Although she was a modern man born into a high technology and civilization, she still knew about the Five Elements of Eight Trigrams. This was something that even science could not explain, something that went against common sense, and Gu Shiyi had always believed in it.

"Miss, please allow us servants to bring Miss inside."

Although the young lady was not exceptionally beautiful, she was still foreign and charming. And behind them were four middle-aged women who were carrying an exquisite sedan, and the middle-aged woman was also beautiful, giving off a very comfortable feeling. Even a few servants and sedan bearers were this beautiful, and the strength of their Thousand Star Pavilion was indeed extraordinary.

After the two girls bowed to Gu Shiyi, they invited him onto the palanquin.

Gu Shiyi also didn't hesitate and sat down on her butt. No matter what this Pavilion Master thought, he wouldn't take his life as a joke, so Gu Shiyi wasn't worried at all.

She kept going forward until a wooden door fell from the top, and a light could not be seen from all directions. Gu Shiyi could only feel that the sedan chair was moving, but he had no idea where they were taking her to.

When her future prospects were unknown, Gu Shiyi could only silently count the time in her heart. Just as Gu Shiyi had noted down the time for half an hour, the sedan finally stopped.

Gu Shiyi stood up and pushed open the curtain of the sedan, a imposing manner, with a face full of dignity, but full of benevolence. A white-haired Old Man stood in front of Gu Shiyi, and the moment he saw him, his eyes lit up.

"You are Pavilion Master?"

The imposing manner of the Old Man was not much weaker than Gu Minghong's, but it was impossible for ordinary people to have such an imposing manner, so the only person Gu Shiyi could think of was this Pavilion Master.

"No, you're not!"

Thinking about it, Gu Shiyi immediately overturned her previous judgement.

"Mmm, Miss has good eyesight, this old man admires you."

Old Man touched his beard with a benevolent smile and nodded, looking very satisfied.

"Since young lady has recognized that this old one is not Pavilion Master, then please follow this old one to see my Pavilion Master.!"

After Old Man finished speaking, he took the lead to enter first.

Gu Shiyi followed closely behind. Every inch and every corner of the palace was filled with extravagance and elegance. Therefore, in Gu Shiyi's eyes, the Thousand Star Pavilion Pavilion Master had become a proud and extravagant person.

Along the way, they discovered that the Thousand Star Pavilion's financial resources were indeed comparable to the strength of the imperial palace. It was no wonder that they would build this place in an alleyway and use it for so many years to cultivate the Five Elements Wonders Technique.

The Old Man brought Gu Shiyi into the Inner Palace. There was not even a trace of candle flame in the entire Inner Palace, only fist-sized Night Pearls lit up, causing the entire Inner Palace to not have a single day or night.

Gu Shiyi's eyes finally settled on the ice bed in the innermost room after they had made a round around the entire Inner Palace. An old man with a head full of white hair was currently lying on the bed.

Without waiting for Old Man's introduction, Gu Shiyi immediately walked towards the cold jade bed, and as soon as she approached, Gu Shiyi noticed that something was amiss.

Old Man looked at the unusual expression on Gu Shiyi's face and his eyes lit up with hope.

"Old mister, please tell me the symptoms of the Pavilion Master, and I will apply the right medicine for it!"

Gu Shiyi still frowned. She was only guessing, not sure.
