"What do you think the Marrow Cleansing Pill is? It's a sixth-grade pill. Don't even mention eight hundred or so pills; even taking two at once will cause an internal energy surge," Green Immortal said slowly, glancing at her.
An internal energy outburst is obviously not a good thing.
"How often should I take one?" Yun Qingran was unwilling to give up; she needed to improve her internal strength as soon as possible.
"At least ten days must pass between training sessions, and during these ten days, one must cultivate internal energy day and night, constantly challenging the limits of one's body. Otherwise, even if one's internal energy is improved, it will be superficial and unable to withstand real combat," said Green Immortal.
"So there's a reason for this." Yun Qingran nodded.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up and refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill. There's still time today, refine two before you go back." Green Immortal urged. He hadn't even smelled the one he refined yesterday. Refine two today, one for his master and one for himself.
“Okay.” Yun Qingran nodded and then began refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
With yesterday's experience, today's refining was much easier, and they successfully refined two Marrow Cleansing Pills, one for each of them.
After refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill, since it was still early, Yun Qingran suggested that they go to the Abyss of Darkness.
"Master, what are you doing in the Abyss of Darkness? That place is pitch black and terrifying." Green Immortal shrugged.
"I haven't seen it before, I'd like to see it," Yun Qingran said.
"Master, do you want to see if you can escape from the Abyss of Darkness?" Green Immortal smiled knowingly.
"Yes." Yun Qingran nodded. She did want to see if she could escape from the Abyss of Darkness, but there was another reason.
“I’ve already seen it. The Abyss of Darkness is tens of feet wide and unfathomably deep, with strong winds blowing up from below. Unless you take a cable car, there’s no way to get across.” Green Immortal shook his head.
"We're just killing time anyway, let's go take a look," Yun Qingran said, clinging to Green Immortal.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you to see it, but you have to be careful not to fall," the Green Immortal warned.
"Don't worry, I'm not a child anymore. Let's go." After saying that, Yun Qingran pulled on Green Immortal's sleeve and walked out.
"Slow down, slow down. I'm an old man, I can't take this kind of abuse."
Before long, the two arrived at the Abyss of Darkness. Just as the Green Immortal had said, it was tens of feet wide and unfathomably deep, with strong winds blowing up from below. Unless one took a cable car, it was impossible to cross it.
It was exactly the same as the Abyss of Darkness in her dream.
"It really is a fissure in the ground," Yun Qingran said after peeking into the abyss.
"What fissure in the ground?" Green Immortal asked, coming closer to her after hearing her voice.
"A fissure in the earth, as the name suggests, is a crack in the earth, usually formed by an earthquake," Yun Qingran explained.
"Oh, I see," said the Green Immortal, but he wasn't very interested and turned to leave. "Let's go, there's nothing to see here."
"I want to go down." Yun Qingran didn't move, her gaze fixed on the abyss below.
"What? You're going down!" Hearing his words, Green Immortal, who had taken a few steps away, ran back and looked at her in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm going down." Yun Qingran nodded.
The reason why the Abyss of Darkness she dreamed of last night was exactly the same as the real Abyss of Darkness was not a coincidence, but because she had seen such an abyss before, so the dream automatically applied that image to her.
"What are you going down there for?" Green Immortal asked, puzzled.
"I need to go down and find a medicinal herb," Yun Qingran said.
"Medicinal herbs? It's only a few feet down there and never sees sunlight again. There's no medicinal herb there." Green Immortal peered down into the abyss. It was pitch black, not at all like a place where medicinal herbs would grow.
“This medicinal ingredient is not a plant, but an animal called the Abyssal Bat,” Yun Qingran explained. “The Abyssal Bat lives in crevices in the earth where the sun never shines.”
In my past life, my grandfather took in a patient, and the medicine he used to treat that patient included the Earth Abyss Bat.
The Abyssal Bat is a very rare Chinese medicinal herb, something that can only be found by chance. But the patient's identity was not simple; he managed to gather many excellent expedition teams to search for Abyssal Bats in various underground crevices.
After searching several famous fissures without success, an expedition team finally found another one deep in a remote forest. Like the Abyss of Darkness, this fissure was bottomless; after descending several meters, sunlight never returned.
After the expedition team went down, they found a very special kind of bat. My grandfather was too old and weak to go into the mountains at the time, so he and my third uncle went into the mountains to identify it. Those special bats were the Abyssal Bats.
Since the two fissures are similar, and the fissure in the previous life had abyssal bats, this fissure should also have them.
"This..." Green Immortal was somewhat conflicted. As a healer, he understood all too well the allure of medicinal herbs, but this Abyss of Darkness was unfathomable, with many winds swirling within, making it extremely dangerous.
"With proper safety measures in place, there shouldn't be any problems," Yun Qingran said.
The Abyss Bat is one of the nine ingredients for the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, and she must obtain it. She had promised to refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill for Wuyuan.
Actually, Yun Qingran's desperate search for medicinal herbs to refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill wasn't entirely for Wu Yuan's sake. The time Jun Molin was seriously injured and nearly died made her realize that in this era of underdeveloped medicine, a drug like the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, capable of snatching lives from the jaws of death, was something she absolutely needed to keep on hand.
"This is too dangerous, maybe we should just forget about it." Green Immortal peeked at the Abyss of Darkness. It was getting late, and it looked like a black river. If you fell in, you would drown. Just looking at it made you feel suffocated.
“I’m a little scared to be alone. How about I go find Jing Hongying and ask him to borrow two people?” Yun Qingran said.
Although Jinghongying wasn't a good person, she had a feeling that he wouldn't really hurt her.
"That old man definitely won't lend you anyone, and no one will be willing to go down with you." Green Immortal shook his head, not very optimistic about this method.
"Go ask, it's free anyway," Yun Qingran said.
"Alright, go ask her." Green Immortal couldn't persuade her otherwise.
Returning from the Abyss of Darkness, Yun Qingran went straight to Jing Hongying's small building.
Upon arriving at the small building, the servant standing guard there said, "The High Priest is not here. Please wait on the first floor for a while."
"Okay." Yun Qingran walked into the small building.
The small building was simply furnished, but she had secretly measured it inside and out during her last visit and knew there were mechanisms or secret rooms inside. So she found a seat and sat down, not daring to move around, lest she trigger a mechanism and be in trouble.
She sat listlessly in the chair. After a while, she stood up and stretched. As she stretched, a gust of wind blew open a curtain directly opposite her.
