Stories of the Past

Ridge Lodgings was only a normal looking house. From the outside, no one would have guessed that it was a building under May's Night Ridge, the Sacred Place of Alchemy. A normal looking brick wall ran along the building's perimeter, reaching seven meters tall, so that outsiders could not see within. Poisonous vines grew along the walls to discourage intruders.

This seemingly normal place was of course not easily recognized by the common people. However, an alchemist would definitely keep a wide berth. The surroundings of the building was littered with all kinds of traps. These traps were devised from plants, and they could be toxic, hallucination inducing, numbing, or harmful in many other ways. They were so many that Ye Chong felt overwhelmed just looking at them. The way the traps were designed were also impressive.
