“Hahaha … brat, do you think you can completely erase this old man’s divine sense by imprisoning my soul? Hahaha, naive!”

The strange laughter was like Yun Tianzi’s voice. Xiao Chen frowned and formed a seal with both of his hands. He circulated the Soul Forbidden Technique’s Heart Arts again, forcefully suppressing his divine sense.

“Brat, you can’t kill this old man … Hahahaha …”

The sound gradually faded away. A layer of cold sweat had already condensed on Xiao Chen’s back. This was the first time he had used the Soul Forbidden Technique to imprison another person’s soul in his primordial spirit. However, he had temporarily lost his ability to refine this soul.

He had to wait for his injuries to heal and his cultivation to recover before he could completely refine Prince Yun Tianzi’s soul and erase his divine sense. From now on, it was equivalent to never having seen this person in the world.

…

Ten days had passed. During these ten days, Xiao Chen had been in this deep valley. Even though he could not recover from his injuries, he was still able to stabilize his injuries. Next, he only waited for Luo Die to bring back the medicinal ingredients.

Of course, in these ten days, apart from stabilizing his injuries, he had also left divine sense imprints everywhere in the valley. If anyone entered the valley, he would be able to detect it immediately.

At dusk, someone entered the valley. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and could sense that Luo Die had returned. He must have found all the medicinal ingredients he needed.

About half an incense stick later, Luo Die entered the courtyard. At this moment, she was wearing a black battle robe. She looked into the two thatched cottages and whispered, “Are you … inside?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen’s voice came from inside the room.

Luo Die finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him inside. She pushed open the door and entered. Seeing that his expression had recovered a little, she said, “I’ve found all the medicinal ingredients you wanted. What should I do now?”

“There’s no hurry.”

Xiao Chen slowly stood up and stared at her. “Can someone follow him along the way?”

Luo Die shook her head, “Don’t worry, I was very careful along the way. No one noticed me.”

As she spoke, she saw that she had taken out the medicinal ingredients from her sleeves. At the same time, she had prepared a cauldron for the stove and even the pill refining furnace. She was quite careful.

“Alright, thank you very much. Next, I want to refine medicine. Just watch from the side.”

“Yes.”

Luo Die gently nodded her head. She stood at the side and watched him refine medicine. Late into the night, the medicinal fragrance permeated the entire courtyard. Luo Die was worried that it would attract the wild beasts in the mountains, so she set up a barrier outside.

Although Xiao Chen wasn’t a powerful alchemist, he had finally spent more than a year in Butterfly Valley. He had learned a lot from Shen Jing during that time and was now in use. Moreover, his divine sense was countless times sharper than that of ordinary people. He was able to accurately grasp the fire and concoct medicine. He was naturally able to capture it, and even surpass some alchemists.

Luo Die had been watching from the side. Seeing that he was skilled, she did not expect that he actually had such a powerful medicine refining ability. If he could treat such a serious injury, then his medical skills would be very powerful …

“May I trouble Miss to bring me the other four medicinal ingredients outside … Miss?”

“Ah … Ah?”

Luo Die saw that he was engrossed in refining medicine. Only then did she regain her senses. She hurriedly nodded and went to bring in the four medicinal ingredients outside. These were all ingredients that she had never seen before.

After a night of refining, the medicine was finally completed. Xiao Chen picked up the bowl and tasted it. He wasn’t as proficient in medicine as Shen Jing. He didn’t know if the medicine could cure his injuries, so he could only try it for now.

After not wanting to drink a bowl of medicine, he felt his chest tighten. A mouthful of purple-black blood gushed up. Seeing this, Luo Die was shocked and hurriedly supported him, “What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s fine …”

Xiao Chen gently pushed her away and said, “It’s just a congestion in the heart. The medicine has worked.”

On that day, his heart veins and internal organs were damaged. If he was an extraordinary person, he would have died long ago. It would not be easy for him to survive until now.

After Luo Die heard that it was congestion, she heaved a sigh of relief. In the next two days, Xiao Chen would be refining medicine. With her help from the side, she would learn some basic kung fu.

On the third day, Xiao Chen’s injuries had obviously improved. However, it was still difficult for him to be as powerful as Shen Jing. Therefore, he needed to constantly try out the best prescription to recover his injuries as soon as possible without leaving behind any future troubles that would hinder his future cultivation.

This evening, after countless attempts to recuperate, he wrote a new prescription and handed it to Luo Die, asking her to go to the Golden Crow Kingdom to find the medicinal ingredients she needed this time.

A month passed like this. During this period of time, Xiao Chen would always write prescriptions. Luo Die would quietly go to the Golden Crow Kingdom to find these medicinal ingredients and inquire about the situation in the Immortal Alliance. Yun Tianzi was from the Eastern Immortal Alliance, so it was naturally the Eastern Immortal Alliance that came to capture Xiao Chen this time.

By the second day of the tenth month, the weather outside was getting colder and colder. Xiao Chen’s injuries had basically recovered by seventy to eighty percent. At present, he still lacked a single “medicine”. This medicine was extraordinary. It was the blood of a demonic beast called Bi Qing.

This Jade Snow Beast was not rare, but it was not found everywhere. It was usually only found in the remote mountains and forests.

This time, he couldn’t let Luo Die go. Because Luo Die hadn’t read those medical manuals and ancient books related to exotic beasts, she couldn’t recognize the Jade Snow Beast. Therefore, he needed to personally go there. Luo Die stayed in this valley and continued to pick up medicinal ingredients for him.

After he finished explaining everything, Xiao Chen left the valley and headed towards another endless mountain range. After about two days, he arrived at an uninhabited mountain range.

Looking from afar, one could see mountains overlapping with clouds and mist. Cliffs appeared from time to time, and the terrain was extremely dangerous. Entering the mountain, one could see flowing water, ancient trees towering to the sky, the jungle full of colorful flowers and plants, and occasionally, some strange animals could be seen flashing away.

This was a place that few people had visited. When Xiao Chen entered the mountain, he immediately felt a pure Spiritual Qi. Although this place did not have a Spirit Gathering Formation like the Four Great Ancient Countries, the Spiritual Qi was very natural. He thought that there were Immortal Spirits hidden there, but it was just that ordinary people were hard to find.

On the morning of the fourth day, Xiao Chen finally found a three-tailed Jade Snow Beast in a bush under a cliff. It was like a white fox, with snow-white fur, but its eyes were green. It was extremely cunning. Even though he had completely withdrawn his aura, it still taught the beast to detect it and disappeared in a flash.

The demonic beast’s sense of smell was often very sensitive. Any stranger approaching could sense it from afar. Not only was the Jade Snow Beast’s sense of smell sensitive, its speed was as fast as lightning. Xiao Chen was unable to approach within forty to fifty feet of it when it was dark.

As the night grew darker and darker, a layer of strange mist gradually enveloped the forest. Xiao Chen chased after the Jade Snow Beast all the way. Perhaps he didn’t realize that he had already unknowingly entered the depths of the mountain.
