"Sect Master, I have bought all the healing pills. The Pill Sect has four kinds of healing pills, and I have bought all four kinds. I also brought some of each kind. There are about one or two thousand Rejuvenation Pills, about five hundred Bone Growth Pills, two hundred Everlasting Spring Pills, and one Nine-Turn Pill."
As if giving a work report, Bai Hao spoke while placing the several jade bottles he had brought aside, all the while keeping a close eye on Su Yuewan.
At this moment, Su Yuewan was clearly in a certain state. Bai Hao could feel that her entire body was enveloped in a dense yet cold spiritual energy. This spiritual energy had gathered from all directions and was enveloping Su Yuewan, but she did not absorb it all. Instead, she let it envelop her, and it was unclear what she was doing with it.
Bai Hao didn't dare to disturb her, and just watched quietly.
At this moment, Su Yuewan slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Bai Hao and the pills beside him, and said calmly, "No matter what kind of pills they are, bring a few over."
"Oh, oh..." Bai Hao nodded vigorously, like a chicken pecking at rice, and quickly poured out some bone-strengthening pills, about ten or twenty, and handed them to Su Yuewan.
Su Yuewan took the pills and put them all into her mouth, swallowing them with difficulty. Then she closed her eyes and slowly refined the medicinal effects of the pills into her body.
"This..." Bai Hao's eyes widened.
So many Bone-Growing Pills, and you swallowed them all in one gulp?
This...this completely overturned his understanding.
This is a Bone-Growing Pill, costing 100 gold coins per pill. One pill is enough for him to buy as many ingredients as he needs to cook as many meals as he needs. Yet Su Yuewan swallowed them all without even blinking!
[Has this woman been here too long and become so hungry she's practically starving? Even if she's starving, she can't eat pills like food. Just say the word and I'll cook her a feast.]
Bai Hao was heartbroken.
Su Yuewan ate almost two thousand gold coins in one bite. If he had that money, it would be enough to make ten big meals and still have some left over.
Now, after one bite, there's nothing left.
What a damn spendthrift woman!
Even Su Yuewan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at this moment, her words concealing her anger.
"Stop muttering there!"
"I didn't say anything," Bai Hao said innocently.
[Strange, I didn't say anything.]
Su Yuewan immediately understood what was going on, but her feelings didn't change much. Instead, she calmly continued, "Do you know where this place is?"
"Hmm... isn't this the ancestral land? This is my first time here, so I don't know much about other things," Bai Hao said. He chose a more tactful answer so that Su Yuewan wouldn't have any grounds to criticize him.
Yes, I'm a genius!
"This place is called 'Hanyou Cave,' left behind by the first sect leader. It carries the spiritual energy of the entire ancestral land. All the spiritual energy you can feel in the ancestral land comes from here," Su Yuewan said.
"They all came from here?"
Bai Hao was somewhat surprised.
He observed carefully. Because the cave was surrounded by ice, it didn't look very spacious. But behind Su Yuewan, the cave stretched into the distance and couldn't be seen to end. At the same time, he could feel a rich spiritual energy emanating from the depths of the cave, spreading throughout the entire ancestral land.
Is the spiritual energy of the entire ancestral land truly emanating from here?
"What's inside the depths of this cave? Have you been inside?" Su Yuewan's question piqued Bai Hao's interest in the depths of the cave.
The fact that it can continuously supply spiritual energy... could it be that inside is... the place where the first sect master of the Falling Sea Sect passed away?!
“It’s like an iceberg inside, but it’s extremely cold. The further you go in, the colder it gets. It can even freeze your internal energy. With your current cultivation level, you can only go in less than ten meters,” Su Yuewan said.
"Ten meters? Are you looking down on me? I'm going in to see just how amazing this place is!" Bai Hao suddenly got angry and was about to step inside when Su Yuewan stopped him.
"Alright, stop being stubborn. I won't collect your body if you freeze to death. Let's get down to business. Leave all these pills behind, and then you can go out. Start from the outer perimeter of the ancestral land and walk step by step with the other disciples outside. Absorb the spiritual energy of this Cold Nether Cave, which will greatly improve your physique."
"These two can even transform one's physique with the spiritual energy of the Cold Nether Cave? Besides, I think with my current cultivation level, I can just stay here with you, Sect Master, and absorb spiritual energy together. There's no need to go out and go through all that trouble," Bai Hao said.
You're kidding, he's at the Knowledge and Action Realm, how can you compare him to those disciples outside?
It's one thing for the Foundation Establishment stage to start from the outer perimeter of the ancestral land, but for the Knowledge and Action stage to start from the outer perimeter as well, isn't that underestimating the Knowledge and Action stage a bit too much?
"Just go when I tell you to. Why all this nonsense? Do you think you know the ancestral land better than I do?" Hearing Bai Hao's words, Su Yuewan was immediately annoyed and scolded him in a low voice.
Can't this guy just listen to her orders for once? He doubts her every word. Who's the real leader now?
"Oh." Seeing that Su Yuewan seemed genuinely angry, Bai Hao wisely shut his mouth and turned to leave the cave.
He had only taken a few steps out of the cave entrance when he suddenly heard a muffled groan coming from inside. Su Yuewan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ice in front of her red.
"Sect Master, are you alright?!"
Bai Hao was startled and immediately turned around and rushed back. Seeing the blood on the ground, he asked anxiously,
"What happened? Did it backfire?!"
"I'm fine..."
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Su Yuewan's face paled even more. She raised her hand and sucked at the jade bottle on the ground, and several Bone-Growing Pills flew out of the bottle, landing in her hand and being swallowed all of them.
Su Yuewan immediately regulated her breathing, urging the effects of the Bone-Growing Pill to circulate rapidly within her body, and her complexion immediately improved considerably.
"This is something you have to endure when absorbing the spiritual energy of the Cold Nether Cave. During the process of absorbing spiritual energy, the body will be constantly eroded by the cold energy, causing some damage. That's why you need a lot of healing pills so that you can recover quickly while absorbing spiritual energy," Su Yuewan explained slowly.
"There's actually this kind of side effect?"
"Otherwise, why do you think we've kept the ancestral land closed? If an ordinary person directly absorbs the spiritual energy of the Cold Nether Cave, at best the cold energy will enter their body, and at worst their meridians will be damaged. The spiritual energy on the outside needs to be refined before they can be absorbed. Even I would be injured by cold energy that hasn't been refined. Do you think you're more familiar with the cold energy of the Cold Nether Cave than I am?" Su Yuewan gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Bai Hao as she spoke.
