"boom!"
The waterfall roared, deafeningly loud.
As night fell completely, Luo Qingchen, with her junior sister behind her, finally arrived at the cave where she had once lived.
As soon as she entered the cave, Ye Fu sniffed around.
"It's normal to have a musty smell next to a waterfall."
Luo Qingchen thought she disliked the smell and offered an explanation.
After entering the cave.
He checked around and found no signs of anyone having been there. Then he went over and sprinkled medicinal powder at the entrance of the cave, placed black iron nails, and blocked the passage with rocks.
Back in the cave, he lit the oil lamp he had brought with him.
The darkness inside the cave was instantly dispelled.
Ye Fu sniffed around for a while, then stopped at the corner where Shangguan Yunman had slept, and said, "It stinks here."
Luo Qingchen was spreading dry grass and blankets on the ground. She glanced at him but ignored him.
"Who?"
Ye Fu turned around and looked at him with icy eyes.
Luo Qingchen continued making the bed with her head down, and said, "How would I know?"
Ye Fu stared at the corner a few more times, took a few steps back, and then with a "bang," took out a brand-new, black coffin from her storage bag and placed it in the same spot.
Luo Qingchen stood up and looked at her: "Do you absolutely have to sleep in a coffin?"
Ye Fu ignored him, went straight into the coffin, closed the lid, and lay down inside.
Luo Qingchen shook her head and said nothing more. She spread out the quilt, got up and went to check the cave entrance carefully before returning to lie down, ready to get a good night's sleep.
The two had been on the run for several days and hadn't had a good night's sleep.
At this moment, as soon as I lay down, fatigue and drowsiness surged over me like a tide, and my consciousness quickly became blurred.
I slept soundly until the evening of the next day.
When he woke up, he found that the coffin lid in the corner had been opened.
"Junior Sister Ye?"
He called out, but no one responded.
I got up and went to take a look; there was no one left in the coffin.
He went to check the passage again; the rocks blocking it had been moved, and the black iron nails on the ground were gone.
Outside the cave, the light had already become dim.
Upon exiting the cave, looking outside, they discovered a small head emerging from the water in a pool not far away.
On the nearby rock lay a black dress.
"Oh, she went to take a shower."
Luo Qingchen suddenly felt itchy all over and realized that she hadn't taken a bath for many days.
Back in the cave.
He walked to the stove, took out coal from his storage bag, and started a fire to brew medicine, preparing to seize the time for medicinal bath cultivation.
Hopefully, the effects of the Xuanjin blood will bring him even greater surprises.
As the coal burned, footsteps could be heard from the cave entrance, along with the sound of bushes being rustled.
Ye Fu took a bath, changed into a clean black robe, and entered the cave.
"Did you go take a shower?"
Luo Qingchen took out an iron pot, placed it on the stove, and greeted her.
Ye Fu looked at him: "You went to peek?"
Luo Qingchen took out a large water vat from her storage bag, placed it in the corner, and said, "I did go out to take a peek, but I only saw a head."
Ye Fu walked to the stove and asked, "Are you brewing medicine?"
"Yes, but there's not enough water. I'll go out and fetch a few buckets. Could you watch the fire for me?"
Luo Qingchen took out two more buckets from her storage bag and left the cave.
It was already dark outside.
After fetching two buckets of water from the pool, he returned to the cave and poured them directly into the iron pot.
Then I went out to fetch water.
Soon, both the iron pot and the water vat were filled with clean water.
When he returned with the last two buckets of water, he found the pot already filled with medicinal herbs.
What are you doing?
He put the bucket in the corner, walked to the stove, and looked at the medicinal herbs in the pot.
"Preparing the medicine."
She continued adding medicinal herbs to the pot.
Luo Qingchen asked, "Do you want a medicinal bath too?"
She put down the medicinal herbs and ignored him.
"Then you go first."
Luo Qingchen did not compete with her.
She had never fought with him for blood or storage bags before. Moreover, if it weren't for her help, he wouldn't have been able to advance to the Xuanjin blood level so quickly this time.
"By the way, do you have enough blood?"
He suddenly asked.
When he was hunting monsters before, it seemed that he had sucked all of the monsters' blood.
Also, in the final moments, in order to buy him time, many of her vampire bats seemed to have been killed.
"If that's not enough, can I use yours?"
She looked up at him.
Luo Qingchen froze for a moment, then did not answer.
"You sucked the blood of all the monsters, and many of my squeaks died because of helping you. I was also injured."
Seeing that he couldn't speak, she began to recount her sacrifices.
"Junior Sister Ye————"
"If you don't want to, then forget it."
She ignored him and continued placing the medicinal herbs. After she finished, she walked to a corner, sat down cross-legged, and closed her eyes.
After sitting for a while, she opened her eyes and said, "You stingy person."
Luo Qingchen didn't dare to say a word.
She really helped him a lot on this hunting trip.
But his blood was his secret.
Besides, he had just upgraded from gilded blood to black gold blood, and he hadn't even used it himself, so he didn't know how effective it would be. How could he possibly give it to her first?
Soon, the medicinal broth in the pot began to boil.
After simmering for a while longer, Luo Qingchen went over and stirred it, smelled the aroma, and said, "Junior Sister Ye, it's almost done."
Ye Fu sat in the corner, eyes closed, motionless, as if she were asleep.
"Junior Sister Ye?"
He shouted a few more times.
Seeing that she was still sitting in the corner without moving, and that the medicine would soon boil dry if he continued to boil it, he had no choice but to take out his own bath tub and pour the medicine from the pot into it.
"Junior Sister Ye, the medicinal decoction is ready. Would you like a medicinal bath?"
After pouring out the medicine, he added a pot of water and kept it boiling. Then he walked up to her and called out to her.
Ye Fu kept her eyes closed, as if she hadn't heard anything.
"Shall I take a medicinal bath first?"
Luo Qingchen waited a while longer, then, without wasting any more time, carried the bathtub to the back corner, quickly took off her clothes, and jumped in.
"Whoosh!"
The scalding hot medicine immediately enveloped his body.
Without hesitation, he immediately took out a dagger and cut his fingertip.
The first time, he didn't dare to squeeze out too much, only three drops of Xuanjin blood.
Three drops of dark golden blood quickly dissolved into the water and came into contact with the magic stone at the bottom.
Immediately, a burst of scorching energy appeared.
The already scalding medicine seemed to suddenly boil over, causing him to groan involuntarily.
Feeling the surging energy rushing towards him, he immediately closed his eyes and began to absorb it rapidly.
Half an hour later, the medicinal energy in the medicine had been completely absorbed!
At this moment, he could clearly feel a powerful and scorching energy stored within his body, as if it were burning through his meridians and internal organs.
He immediately opened his eyes, preparing to refine it.
To his surprise, just as he was about to stand up from the bathtub, he suddenly noticed a tiny person standing in front of the tub, staring at him with wide, dark eyes.
What are you doing?
Luo Qingchen quickly covered her chest.
After thinking about it, she realized there wasn't much to cover her chest, so she quickly covered her lower body instead.
"These are my medicinal herbs; I added poison to them."
She blinked and spoke.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen's expression changed drastically: "What poison did you add?"
She said, "The venom of the 'Squeaky Venom,' and other venoms, are only ones I can soak in."
Luo Qingchen looked down at the medicinal liquid in the bucket, and then heard her say, "If other people soak in it, their bodies will fester within two days. Then the flesh on their bodies will fall off piece by piece."
Luo Qingchen looked down at her lower body, her expression shifting.
"Give."
She took out a purple pill, handed it to him, and said, "This is the antidote. Take it quickly."
Luo Qingchen immediately took it and was about to put it in her mouth when she looked at her warily.
"Afraid I'll hurt you?"
She took out another one, put it directly into her mouth, and swallowed it.
Upon seeing this, Luo Qingchen immediately lowered her head and stuffed it into her mouth, then tilted her head back and swallowed it with a "glug".
"Actually—the medicine itself isn't poisonous; it's the pill that's poisonous."
Seeing that he had already swallowed it, she opened her mouth and spat out the purple pill, which was still covered with a thin bamboo membrane.
Luo Qingchen's lips twitched a few times. "What kind of poison?" she asked.
She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, uncorked it, put the pills she was holding inside, then handed the bottle to him, turning it so he could see the label on it.
Luo Qingchen looked closely and saw three large characters written on the label: Hehuan Pill!
"I picked this up from a disciple of Hehuan Peak."
She put away the porcelain bottle, her dark eyes fixed on him curiously, and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine this is, so I wanted you to take it and see your reaction."
"Acacia pills?"
Luo Qingchen looked at her with a solemn expression and said seriously, "Junior Sister Ye, this thing—I'm afraid it's an aphrodisiac. No, it might be even more poisonous than an aphrodisiac. There are only the two of us in this cave. Do you know that you're playing with fire and getting burned?"
"Splash—"
Suddenly, she pulled out an iron chain and said, "I have an iron chain here. I'll tie you up in a bit, okay?"
Luo Qingchen: "————"
"Should we tie it up now?"
She blinked, looking excited about the game.
"You should just tie yourself up."
Luo Qingchen stopped teasing her and raised her right hand from the water, her fingertips pinching the purple pill.
"What I just swallowed was saliva, not that."
He flicked his finger, and the pill flew out, landing with a "thud" on her coffin.
"Junior Sister Ye, we're both demons from Medicine Man Town, why play these tricks?"
Luo Qingchen washed her hands and looked at her calmly.
She stared at him for a while longer, then put away the chains, turned and left, sitting down in a corner and ignoring him.
But Luo Qingchen felt as if she were staring at him in the dark.
"Keep an eye on the water in the pot; it's your turn to prepare the medicinal bath."
Luo Qingchen gave a reminder, got out of the bathtub, put on her clothes, and then returned to the bed to sit cross-legged, eagerly beginning to refine the medicinal energy within her body.
After a moment, he heard the sound of water being poured.
Opening my eyes, I saw that petite figure carrying a large wooden bucket, adding water to a pot.
He closed his eyes again.
When he opened his eyes again, she seemed to have already entered the bathtub.
Because she was so small, you couldn't even see her head; all you could see was the black dress placed beside the tub and the rising steam from inside.
"Whoosh!"
With the sound of water, her head popped out of the bucket, and her dark eyes peeked at him from inside.
Their eyes met.
Luo Qingchen immediately closed her eyes.
She immediately pulled her head back into the bucket.
Five days later.
Luo Qingchen finally finished refining all the medicinal energy in her body.
At this moment, the cultivation progress within the body has increased from the previous 3000/5000 to 3800/5000!
Three drops of Xuanjin blood instantly increased cultivation progress by 800 points!
The results are indeed much better than before!
Even if I used 100 points of gilded blood when I was in the middle stage of my cultivation, I probably wouldn't have achieved the same effect as I do now!
There are still 27 points of Xuanjin blood left in my body. Even though my cultivation speed has slowed down in the final sprint, it should be almost done.
Even if it's still not enough, it probably won't be too far off.
He wasted no more time and immediately got up to continue making the medicine.
At this moment, the junior sister was sitting in the coffin cultivating, with no aura on her body. Her cultivation method seemed quite different from his. He didn't dare to disturb her, so he went out and fetched a few more buckets of water and started brewing medicine.
This time, he directly dripped five drops of Xuanjin blood into the medicinal bath.
Seven days later, all the medicinal energy in his body was completely refined.
At this moment, the cultivation progress within his body has increased from 3800/5000 to 4400/5000!
Continue with the medicinal bath!
This time, he dripped in six drops of Xuanjin blood.
Seven days later.
The internal cultivation progress has increased to 4700/5000!
Seven days later.
His cultivation progress has increased to 4900/5000!
Only 100 points left!
The thought that the Tongqiao Realm was within reach, and that he could cultivate soul techniques after breaking through to the Tongqiao Realm, and then see his sister after cultivating soul techniques, filled him with uncontrollable excitement.
However, at this moment, he only had 8 points of Xuanjin blood left in his body!
Breaking through from the Strength Realm to the Acupoint Realm is a major realm, far more complex than simply breaking through smaller realms before.
To be on the safe side, he thought it over carefully and decided to go out.
Besides hunting and drinking blood, he also needs to use actual combat to unleash all his potential, which should make it easier for him to break through the barriers.
He has been sitting in this cave cultivating for so long, but I'm afraid that when he finally breaks through to the next stage, the power within him will be too fierce, and his body, having been quiet for too long, will not be able to withstand it.
"Junior Sister Ye, I need to go out for a bit."
Once he made the decision, he immediately got up and prepared to go hunting.
At this moment, he was full of energy and had great strength. He was already at the peak of the Strength Realm and had the Xuanjin Body for defense. As long as he did not encounter any inner disciples, he was absolutely fearless.
Even if you encounter a powerful monster, you can safely retreat even if you can't defeat it.
Ye Fu opened her eyes inside the coffin.
"Squeak! Squeak—"
Suddenly, many scarlet eyes lit up on the wall at the entrance of the cave.
During this period, these vampire bats often went out alone to suck blood. When they returned, they would vomit the blood from their bellies into the bathtub for her to use in her medicinal bathing and cultivation.
It seems she is also making final preparations for the final hurdle.
"I estimate I won't be back until dawn."
Luo Qingchen gave her some instructions, then immediately went over and moved the rock blocking the passage, exiting the cave.
After carefully observing the cave entrance for a while and finding nothing unusual, he darted out.
Soon, he entered the woods above the waterfall and disappeared into the night.
I don't know how much time passed.
A graceful figure suddenly swept through the woods on the other side, leaped lightly, and floated down to the bottom of the waterfall.
She stood beneath the waterfall, gazing blankly at the churning waters of the pool before her.
After a moment, she turned and walked toward the cave not far away.
When she arrived at the cave, pushed aside the dense bushes in front of her, and saw the familiar cave entrance, she was momentarily dazed, and then her body suddenly trembled.
Some things were hidden on the ground at the entrance of the cave.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be iron nails!
Her eyes lit up as she looked into the dark cave.
