The Illusion Technique continued, Yi Yun dealt with it while thinking about how to capture this Primordial Relic Medicine.

According to the book "Shenhuang," many Primordial Relic Medicine possess various abilities such as burrowing into the ground and escaping into water. For example, the ginseng fruit described in supernatural tales is said to "dissolve upon contact with water and penetrate the earth upon contact with soil..."

This Primordial Relic Medicine seems to dissolve and disappear when it comes into contact with water, and when it comes into contact with soil, it burrows into it and disappears like a fish swimming in the ocean, never to be found again.

To capture the Primordial Relic Medicine, a single, decisive strike is essential!

Otherwise, if the opponent escapes, especially if they escape to the depths of the Medicine Mountain, even Human Race Sage will be powerless to stop them.

Yi Yun, however, lacks both speed and experience in gathering Primordial Relic Medicine; rushing to gather herbs would only lead to failure.

Right now, the Primordial Relic Medicine is unaware that Yi Yun can see it. If Yi Yun rushes over with the Thousand Army Saber, then all the previous disguises will fail, and the Primordial Relic Medicine will become wary.

Should we report this matter to the Divine City and ask the sages to intervene?

If the report is successful, there will certainly be a reward. But the key question is, when the sage arrives with me, will the Primordial Relic Medicine be discovered early and then simply slip away?

They might charge him with lying about military intelligence.

Moreover, even if Human Race Sage truly used extraordinary means to capture the Primordial Relic Medicine, how could he explain his ability to discover its location?

Many things are easy to arouse suspicion.

After much deliberation, Yi Yun decided to take matters into his own hands and go all in!

But... not today!

He is now severely unprepared.

Taking forceful action will only alert the enemy.

Although once Primordial Relic Medicine is lost, it's impossible to find it anywhere in the world again, Yi Yun is confident he can pinpoint Primordial Relic Medicine location again. This is because the Blood Sun Flower doesn't have the ability to escape into water or soil.

If we find the Blood Sun Flower, we can find this Primordial Relic Medicine.

Yi Yun believed that this Primordial Relic Medicine must be lurking around the Blood Sun Flower, watching over his "property".

"The Primordial Relic Medicine's concealment methods are truly remarkable. I previously used my spiritual power to contact the Origin Purple Crystal and search the surroundings, but I only detected the Blood Sun Flower and overlooked this Primordial Relic Medicine. It must have been not far from here before. However, I couldn't find it until it used Illusion Technique!"

Yi Yun also felt lucky; it was purely by chance that he was able to find this Primordial Relic Medicine.

At the same time, Yi Yun also felt that he needed to speed up his cultivation and improve his mental strength. He thought that if his mental strength was sufficient, he would be able to find any Primordial Relic Medicine, Immortal Divine Medicine, or Primordial Desolation Strain.

As Yi Yun was pondering this, he discovered that the illusions before his eyes were layered upon each other. More and more corpses surged towards him like a tidal wave, forcing him into a corner.

It appeared that Yi Yun was in a desolate graveyard. He was surrounded by plains, but Yi Yun knew that behind him was a cliff.

If he takes another step back, he will fall off the cliff.

Although a height of several dozen feet is not much, people in the illusion will fall unconsciously.

If he landed headfirst on a rock, then because Yi Yun was wearing a heavy Flowing Silver Shirt, all the weight would be borne by his head and neck. In that case, it wouldn't be impossible for him to die with a broken head and neck!

Thinking of this, Yi Yun's desire to seize this Primordial Relic Medicine grew stronger.

Although the Primordial Relic Medicine does not have the ability to kill, it can still kill people by using Illusion Technique to lure them into the trial.

With nowhere left to retreat, Yi Yun reduced the weight of his Flowing Silver Shirt to its lightest level, feigned a slip, cried out in surprise, and fell straight off the cliff!

In mid-air, Yi Yun appeared extremely flustered, but in reality, he was secretly maintaining his balance the whole time.

"Boom!"

Yi Yun fell backward onto the ground, sending up a cloud of dirt and stones!

Even if the weight of the Flowing Silver Shirt is reduced to its lightest level, the impact of falling from a height of several dozen feet would still be quite astonishing.

Yi Yun lay sprawled on the ground, his body creating a deep, human-shaped crater. In fact, the moment he landed, Yi Yun had already used the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within his body as an air cushion to cushion the impact, but he still felt pain all over his body.

Although he was not physically injured, Yi Yun pretended to faint, while secretly observing the Primordial Relic Medicine at the top of the cliff from Purple Crystal's perspective.

Yi Yun could vaguely sense the mockery emanating from the herb.

"Primordial Relic Medicine, this thing..."

Yi Yun made a note of this debt.

The Primordial Relic Medicine quickly lost interest in Yi Yun and leisurely left.

In fact, to the Primordial Relic Medicine, Yi Yun was nothing more than a tiny ant, not worth paying any attention to at all.

After this Primordial Relic Medicine developed a vague sense of sentience, it continued to grow on the Medicine Mountain of Tai'a Divine City for thousands of years.

Over the past thousands of years, the Primordial Relic Medicine have witnessed countless trials in the Tai'a Divine City.

These trial participants were all categorized by the Primordial Relic Medicine as insignificant little characters, like ants.

They were young, incredibly weak, and extremely stupid. They roamed the medicinal mountain claiming to be gathering herbs, but they were really like headless flies, bumping around aimlessly.

Many medicinal herbs were right under their noses, yet they couldn't see them.

Although it wanted to tease these trial participants, this Primordial Relic Medicine also knew that there were still Human Race Sage in Tai'a Divine City.

If these trial participants are frequently mocked, or even if one or two of them die by accident, it will alarm the sages of Tai'a Divine City.

That's how its good days came to an end.

If it is targeted by Human Race Sage, it must be on high alert at all times, try to stay underground, and minimize going out.

It should be noted that many Human Race Sage also have methods to conceal their aura. No matter how careful this Primordial Relic Medicine, or how keen its senses are, it is very likely that it will not detect the Human Race Sage is quietly approaching, and then it will be doomed.

Yi Yun lay at the bottom of the cliff for a full half hour before finally getting up.

Yi Yun secretly memorized the location of the cliff. In Purple Crystal's vision, the Blood Sun Flower had not left, but it had shrunk underground due to fright. It seemed that it would probably not come out to breathe Pure Yang Energy for the next few days.

As long as the Blood Sun Flower is still around, Yi Yun is at ease.

Yi Yun didn't go back to that cliff. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction, casually picked some herbs, and left the Yi Yun mountain early.

Zhao Qingcheng and the others were also present when the medicine was handed over.

Upon seeing Yi Yun, Zhao Qingcheng smiled shyly, her face slightly flushed. Clearly, Zhao Qingcheng was still embarrassed about asking Yi Yun for money yesterday.

"Hello, Sister Qingcheng," Yi Yun greeted her.

Today, Yi Yun's harvest was only one hundred Dragon Scale Rune.

After weighing, the Woman surnamed Wang from the errand office glanced at Yi Yun with slight surprise. However, she didn't seem to think much of it; even experts make mistakes or have bad luck sometimes, and it's normal for him to harvest less on occasional days. Of course, at this rate, Yi Yun would have no chance of breaking Zhong Yi's record.

"Um, Sister Wang, I'd like to ask if there are any books that introduce Primordial Relic Medicine?"

After handing over the medicinal herbs, Yi Yun asked tentatively, "Is the book <Divine Wilderness> mainly for newcomers to Tai'a Divine City?"

Newcomers to the Divine City have no access to the level of Primordial Relic Medicine, so the book <Divine Wilderness> only records it briefly. As a result, Yi Yun, who has only read <Divine Wilderness>, has no idea what kind of herb the Primordial Relic Medicine he encountered was.

This naturally posed a significant obstacle to Yi Yun's plan to capture the Primordial Relic Medicine.

After hearing Yi Yun's question, the Woman surnamed Wang was speechless. This kid... is he still dreaming!

Primordial Relic Medicine. Even Zhong Yi couldn't find it! Even powerful human beings need careful planning and a certain amount of luck to capture a single one. How could you little brats possibly dare to lay a finger on it?

If it weren't for Yi Yun's demonstration of his keen observation skills a few days ago, the Woman surnamed Wang would have already started cursing. Even so, her tone was extremely harsh.

"Kid, you think you're something special just because you have a little talent for gathering herbs and your eyesight is a bit better than others? Primordial Relic Medicine? You can wait another seventy or eighty years before you worry about Primordial Relic Medicine! You really don't know who you are!"

"Uh... I was just looking," Yi Yun said.

"What are you looking at? There's enough written in <Divine Wilderness> for you to read! You'll be lucky if you can even understand it!"

The Woman surnamed Wang still didn't speak kindly.

Yi Yun rubbed his nose, somewhat speechless. He vowed never to ask that woman Wang again. He also blamed himself; it sounded like an unrealistic question. Asking her was just asking for trouble.

"Little brother Yi Yun, are you looking for books about Primordial Relic Medicine?" Just then, Zhao Qingcheng's voice transmission rang in Yi Yun's ears.

"Yes, you knew?" Yi Yun was secretly delighted.

"Hmm... Tai'a Divine City has a library? You didn't know? The library has all sorts of materials, cultivation techniques, and Secret Manual. The library is divided into many areas, and the cultivation techniques in the top-level area, which has the highest access requirements, are extremely precious!"

"If you only want to see information about the Primordial Relic Medicine, they should be available in the middle level area. You can borrow them by paying a small amount of Dragon Scale Rune."

"Ah, I see. Thank you, Sister Qingcheng."

Yi Yun was overjoyed. The library was perfect for him; it would be inconvenient to ask others.

"Little brother Yi Yun, not to be nosy, but why are you asking about the Primordial Relic Medicine? You're not thinking of taking Primordial Relic Medicine, are you? The Primordial Relic Medicine are beyond our reach."

Zhao Qingcheng was worried that Yi Yun, being young and fearless, might underestimate the Primordial Relic Medicine. In particular, if he read the information, Yi Yun might get carried away and rush to search for it, which would only waste his time.

For many people, twelve or thirteen is the age when they think they are the center of the world. Especially after achieving some success, they become even more blind to their own limitations, always thinking that they are different from others and can accomplish something extraordinary.

However, reality is cruel; people who have this kind of thinking usually end up getting hurt badly.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm just interested and want to know more." Yi Yun knew that Zhao Qingcheng meant well, and even that sharp-tongued Woman surnamed Wang might have good intentions.

Thank you all for your support! I've read all the messages, I'm very grateful! There were also many messages on QQ, and I haven't been able to reply to some of them, please forgive me. Also, please try not to add any more friends on QQ, as there's a limit to the number of friends I can add. My QQ account is almost full, so I can't add any more people.

Thank you everyone.
