When Shen Wei and his son arrived at the Ning family manor, Ning Yao had just left.

Shen Ci'an didn't see anyone, asked a question, and then quietly left.

After everyone went to sleep last night, Ning Yao went to the underground warehouse again and put all the spirit stones in the box into the secret realm.

Countless streams of spiritual energy surged into the secret realm. Ning Yao suppressed her excitement and returned to Qin Yao Pavilion.

Upon entering the room, Ning Yao immediately slipped into the secret realm.

Three hundred fist-sized spirit stones floated in the air above the secret realm, their overflowing golden spiritual energy surging in all directions.

With the blessing of spiritual energy, bursts of golden light appeared in the secret realm, so bright that Ning Yao couldn't open her eyes.

When she opened her eyes and could see clearly, the golden light had disappeared, and the secret realm had an indescribable, strange feeling.

The changes in the spiritual spring, spiritual lotus, spiritual land, and spiritual plants are significant.

The spring has more than doubled in size, and the water is crystal clear, exuding a faint lotus fragrance. The mist covering the spring has dissipated somewhat, and it seems that light is shining on the surface of the water.

The number of lotus flowers has increased considerably, forming a lotus pond in one corner of the spiritual spring.

The first golden lotus has grown into a towering presence, its enormous leaves and blossoms appearing incredibly sacred.

The smaller flowers nearby, some have opened, while others are still buds.

The spiritual land has expanded by dozens of acres, and the unlocked spiritual plants are strange and varied in variety. Even though Ning Yao doesn't recognize some of them, she can still tell them apart.

"Thousand Mountains Snow? A top-grade healing elixir?"

"And there are also the Boundless Root, the Dragon-Seeking Grass, and the Falling Cloud Flower—these are all legendary medicinal herbs. This spiritual land is truly a treasure!"

"Wait!" Ning Yao was suddenly startled. She realized that she suddenly recognized these herbs and even knew their medicinal uses!

What happened? Last time I was completely clueless.

Just as she was racking her brains trying to figure it out, she suddenly discovered that a real house had appeared next to the Spirit Artifact Pavilion.

Spirit Medicine Pavilion!

"Could it be related to medicine?"

"The Spirit Weapon Pavilion is for all kinds of weapons, so wouldn't the Spirit Medicine Pavilion be for all kinds of medicinal herbs?"

Ning Yao rubbed her hands excitedly. She had focused on martial arts, so she hadn't studied the medical book very thoroughly. She was fine with taking pulses and treating minor illnesses.

Now, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion is indeed a great help to her.

"The Spirit Weapon Pavilion has weapons and can refine storage spaces, so does the Spirit Medicine Pavilion have various medicines and can refine pills?"

With such expectations in mind, Ning Yao stepped into the Spirit Medicine Pavilion.

The layout of the Spirit Medicine Pavilion is similar to that of the Spirit Weapon Pavilion, except that it has an extra set of tables and a small medicine furnace.

Ning Yao looked around and found many useful pills, as well as some prepared medicinal herbs.

They even found a stack of prescriptions in the table drawer, prescriptions for all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases.

Ning Yao nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad! Not bad! But it seems like those things aren't there!"

In addition to cold weapons, the Spirit Weapon Pavilion also has all kinds of firearms.

Based on this discovery, Ning Yao believes that in addition to ancient prescriptions and pills, Lingyao Pavilion should also have some modern medical equipment.

However, after searching around and finding nothing, she assumed it wasn't there and gave up.

Little did they know that in one corner, there was a small model of a modern hospital.

All the medical equipment was scaled down proportionally, making it look more like a child's toy hospital.

"That's great! We won't have to worry about opening a clinic anymore!"

Ning Yao pulled out a prescription, found the corresponding herbs, and began to refine the pills according to her memory.

She was holding two Blood Spirit Seeds.

Blood Spirit Seed has excellent hemostatic and blood-tonifying effects, but because of its potent medicinal properties and the different medicinal effects required, different medicinal materials need to be added to assist it in order to achieve the final goal.

Ning Yao first took a Blood Spirit Seed, then used her internal force to crush it into powder and put it into the medicine furnace.

Then I took the mild-acting Falling Cloud Flower to neutralize it.

Half an hour later, add the most basic Thousand Illusion Spirit Grass, wait for a quarter of an hour, and a batch of white pills with a medicinal aroma will be ready.

Ning Yao counted them; there were five in total.

According to records, one batch could indeed produce five pieces.

Blood Spirit Seeds and Fallen Cloud Flowers can be combined to make a pill that nourishes blood and replenishes qi, called Blood-Replenishing Pill, which is suitable for people who have lost too much blood or suffer from anemia.

Ning Yao picked up the remaining Blood Spirit Seed and repeated her previous actions, but this time she added White Spirit Ginseng instead of Falling Cloud Flower.

These two types of pills are called Blood Clotting Pills, which, as the name suggests, are used to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis. Five pills are produced each time.

To test the efficacy of the medicine, Ning Yao cut her finger, and blood gushed out instantly.

She crushed a blood-clotting pill and sprinkled the powder on the wound. Within moments, the wound began to heal, slowly forming a scab, which then fell off, and the wound was completely restored.

"The effect is a bit too outstanding; it would be too conspicuous for ordinary people to use."

After much deliberation, Ning Yao took two of the remaining four pills, crushed them, and stored them in a medicine box.

I added some common medicine that also has the effect of reducing swelling and removing blood stasis, thinking that if it could be diluted, the effect of the medicine would not be so outrageous.

After doing all that, Ning Yao flipped through a few more prescriptions that interested her and tried to concoct pills.

After refining the five kinds of pills, Ning Yao felt that her understanding of ancient medical books had increased even more.

Ning Yao was overjoyed: "So refining pills can also improve one's understanding of medical books. Indeed, it is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books!"

She was so engrossed in concocting pills that she stopped only when she felt she had hit a bottleneck.

Looking at the medicine bottles piled high on the ground, Ning Yao was very satisfied.

With a wave of his hand, he arranged them into categories.

She concocted not only complex pills, but also many everyday necessities.

The medicinal herbs weren't exactly spiritual plants; the vast majority were herbs she collected herself.

When medicinal herbs are processed into pills, their medicinal properties are preserved to the greatest extent possible, allowing them to exert a greater effect on the human body.

Moreover, pills are easy to store, easy to keep, and easy to carry!

The pills she makes in the secret realm can be preserved for a longer time!

After finishing these tasks, Ning Yao left the Spirit Medicine Pavilion and stretched her body, which had been sitting for a long time.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder startled Ning Yao.

"What's going on? Is it going to rain?"

Seeing the sky suddenly turn gloomy, Ning Yao felt that it was less like it was going to rain and more like she was going through a tribulation.

Since the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm was opened by itself, it has never shown any sign of rain.

This was the first time Ning Yao had experienced such weather, so she had to take it seriously.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, dark clouds gathered, and it looked as if a storm was brewing.

Ning Yao hadn't yet seen the heavy rain, but instead witnessed the second leaf fall from the Netherworld Divine Tree.

Looking at the discolored leaf in her hand, Ning Yao's face showed a strange expression.

Then she found the first leaf, one in each hand, and compared them.

The two leaves look exactly the same!

Even the gradient speed of the patterns on them is exactly the same!
