The current state of metaphysics is weak, and spiritual energy is dwindling, making it difficult for those in the mystical sect. If the younger generation at the exchange conference truly suffered from bad luck or lacked exceptional skills, they would have nothing to say. However, if the decline of talented individuals in metaphysics was due to conspiracy and schemes, that would be intolerable.
Gao Li and Yuan Qi immediately recognized the seriousness of the situation and solemnly inquired for more details. "Young friend, what else do you know?"
Ruan Fuxi had already shared most of what she knew but added a bit more about the Ruan and Bai families. "It seems that only my father, Ruan Changlin, and my mother, Bai Tang, managed to escape from the Baishan Sect back then. Unfortunately, they passed away over a decade ago, and I suspect this was also orchestrated by the Baishan Sect."
The timeline of the incidents affecting the Ruan and Bai families coincided perfectly with the exchange conference forty years ago. "If we look into the list of those who unexpectedly passed away during that conference, we might uncover something."
Gao Li and Yuan Qi nodded seriously upon hearing this. "Your speculation makes sense. We will investigate this matter. If it turns out to be true, our research institute will definitely not turn a blind eye to it. Moreover, other mystical sects will not let the Baishan Sect off easily either."
Seeing their determination, Ruan Fuxi felt somewhat reassured. Although she could investigate on her own, having the support of the institute would make things much easier.
Ruan Fuxi recalled that Gao Li had mentioned earlier that the prizes for the top three participants in the exchange conference were provided by the institute, so she casually asked, "Master Gao, with the exchange conference approaching, what prizes has the institute prepared?"
Gao Li was happy to share since they were all on the same side. "Every time we hold an exchange conference, everyone takes it seriously, so we prepare some good items. This time, the prizes include a small piece of Star Silver, a Broken Mirror, and an exquisite defensive talisman."
Ruan Fuxi's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. She wasn't particularly interested in the Broken Mirror or the exquisite defensive talisman; it was only the Star Silver that she had been searching for for a long time.
Noticing her enthusiasm, Gao Li teased her, "What's wrong, young friend? Is there something in there that you desire?"
Ruan Fuxi didn't hold back and nodded openly. "Yes, Master Gao. To be honest, I'm currently lacking a piece of Star Silver and have been looking for it for quite some time. It seems I must give my all at this exchange conference."
"Only the first place can win the Starry Silver," they said.
Gao Li and Yuan Qi exchanged glances and laughed. "So that's how it is. If you want it, you don't have to wait for the exchange conference; we can give it to you right now. After all, we're all on the same side. We can just switch it for another prize."
Since they hadn't revealed the prizes they had prepared, it didn't matter if they changed it. Besides, no one outside their circle would know what was going on.
Ruan Fuxi felt a surge of excitement upon hearing this. "That's wonderful!"
At this moment, she wasn't going to be polite; she was eager to fix the Starry Disk.
Seeing her urgency, Gao Li stood up and went into the inner room. Before long, he returned with a wooden box in his hands.
He handed the box to Ruan Fuxi. "Here, take a look. Is this what you wanted?"
Ruan Fuxi opened the box and her face lit up when she saw the Starry Silver inside. "Yes, this is indeed Starry Silver! I really must thank both of you masters and the institute for this."
It seemed that the Institute of Non-Material Research truly had some strength. After searching for so long, Master Gao had simply handed it to her.
Then Ruan Fuxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Masters, will the institute be upset with us doing this?"
