The Day of Great Yin
As the teleportation array flashed with white light, Yi Yun stepped out of the array.
This medicinal mountain, numbered Gengzi, was where Yi Yun was randomly teleported a month ago. For the past thirty days or so, he has been gathering herbs in Gengzi Medicine Mountain, making it Yi Yun's exclusive medicinal mountain for the past month and the next few months.
Most of the trial participants who chose to gather herbs were randomly teleported to a medicinal mountain and would not be moved for several months. The advantage of this was that they would remember the places they had searched and would not search them again on their next visit.
If all trial participants had to choose the medicinal mountain again each time, then a situation would inevitably arise where the place you searched might have been searched by someone else just a few days ago.
These past few days, Yi Yun, dressed in Flowing Silver Shirt, has traversed most of the area of Gengzi Medicine Mountain.
Yi Yun was extremely familiar with the area within a hundred miles around the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
After exiting the teleportation array, Yi Yun easily traversed several mountains and approached the cliff where the Blood Sun Flower was located.
At this time, Yi Yun was still dozens of miles away from this cliff.
Instead of rushing to climb the cliff, he leisurely gathered and searched for medicinal herbs nearby.
He stopped practicing his movement Movement Technique and took off his Flowing Silver Shirt. Having worn the Flowing Silver Shirt, which weighed two hundred dings, for so long, taking it off suddenly made Yi Yun feel as if his body had no weight at all. He was truly as light as a swan, as if he could leap to the clouds with a single bound!
This is Yi Yun's best condition. Facing the upcoming battle, Yi Yun certainly won't allow anything to affect his speed.
"Another one, a high-grade Yellow Rank Soul Severing Grass. This is a poison. It can be used to make poisons."
Yi Yun muttered to himself as he put away the Soul Severing Grass. The alchemists of Tai'a Divine City could not only refine pills with positive effects, but also create drugs with negative effects, such as poisons, and various auxiliary drugs that could induce hallucinations and paralyze cultivation. Their functions were all-encompassing.
Following the Soul Severing Grass, there's Black Lingzhi, Blood-Glazing Root, Purple Heart Grass...
Yi Yun picked one ginseng after another at a leisurely pace, as if he had forgotten about the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
He spent the entire day picking medicinal herbs. By nightfall, Yi Yun had unknowingly approached the cliff where the Blood Sun Flower was located.
Yi Yun knew that the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng had already discovered him. The Primordial Relic Medicine was extremely alert, and with Yi Yun's abilities, it was simply a pipe dream to try to hide his whereabouts and get close to the Primordial Relic Medicine.
At this time, there was still more than an hour until midnight.
Yi Yun looked up at the sky; there was no moon, and the night was as black as ink!
Yi Yun arrived at Gengzi Medicine Mountain early in the morning, but deliberately lingered outside until now before coming to this rocky cliff, waiting for this opportunity.
Today is the first day of the lunar month, also known as "New Moon Day" (朔日), a day without a moon. It is Day of Great Yin.
The yin energy is most concentrated on the Day of Great Yin), which is one of the thirty days in a month. And midnight is the time of day when the yin energy is at its strongest.
In other words, the time Yi Yun has chosen is precisely when the Yin energy is at its strongest in the month!
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is a spiritual herb that thrives on blood and qi, and enjoys absorbing Pure Yang Power.
The third watch of the night on the Day of Great Yin is precisely when it is at its weakest.
That's why Yi Yun chose to make his move at this time!
Even so, Yi Yun had no confidence whatsoever in hitting the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng with the Great Cang Bow.
The speed of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is terrifying, and its reaction is extremely fast!
In the past few days, Yi Yun has spent countless hours searching for information about the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. He has read not only the information in the book "The Divine Desolation Secret Collection" but also all other materials he could find.
He constantly weighed the gap between his archery skills and the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng's abilities, and finally concluded that even within ten zhang, even if his arrows could exceed the speed of sound, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng would still be able to dodge them!
If the first attack fails, then he will never have a chance to capture the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng again.
Therefore, Yi Yun had to be extremely cautious and had to plan everything carefully.
"Let's fight! Let's see if your stealth skills are stronger, or my arrows are faster!"
Yi Yun silently said this in his heart, and then leaped up!
Snap!
With barely audible footsteps, Yi Yun, carrying a medicine basket, stepped onto the rocks of this cliff.
With agility a hundred times greater than that of a monkey, he scrambled to the top of the cliff in no time, as if walking on flat ground.
As night fell, gusts of mountain wind howled, sending chills down one's spine.
On the flat stone cliff, some weathered skeletons are scattered randomly, standing desolate in the gusts of mountain wind.
The air above the cliff was thick with yin energy!
On this continent, there are some ghosts that like to come out and roam at this time.
Yi Yun stood on the cliff for a while, closing his eyes and focusing his mind. He slowly connected his spiritual power with the Purple Crystal. In the darkness, Yi Yun had a feeling that something was watching him.
It's Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng!
With the Purple Crystal present, Yi Yun's perception of the energy of heaven and earth was extremely keen. However, even so, within the Purple Crystal's field of vision, Yi Yun was unable to pinpoint the exact location of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
However, amidst the surging waves of Yin energy, there was clearly a hidden trace of Pure Yang Energy, the aura of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng's observation of Yi Yun was not deliberate. To the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, looking at Yi Yun was not much different from looking at a wild rabbit that had wandered into its territory.
The Primordial Relic Medicine has existed for thousands of years and has witnessed countless trials, yet none of these foolish fellows have ever discovered it.
Several powerful human beings tried to capture it, but they couldn't do anything about it. Only when sages from Tai'a Divine City came to Gengzi Medicine Mountain would this Primordial Relic Medicine become vigilant and fearful, hiding in advance, thus remaining safe and sound.
Given Yi Yun's current strength, the Primordial Relic Medicine did not perceive any threat.
In the darkness, Yi Yun remained silent, calculating the time in his mind. There was still an hour until midnight.
Yi Yun seemingly casually drew his Thousand Army Saber. Although his Purple Crystal vision couldn't pinpoint the location of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, it had already locked onto the location of the Blood Sun Flower.
This Blood Sun Flower is buried deep underground, thirty feet to my left front!
Yi Yun arrived at the place where he first discovered the Blood Sun Flower.
The pit he had recently dug was still there.
Yi Yun feigned a look of confusion, muttering to himself, "Isn't this the place where I found the Blood Sun Flower last time...? What happened to me back then? I had just dug up the Blood Sun Flower, and before I could even pick it, I saw many corpses crawling out of the graves. I killed a lot of them, but after that, I remembered nothing more. When I woke up, I was covered in wounds, and all the corpses and Blood Sun Flower were gone. It was like a dream..."
Yi Yun muttered to himself, while not far away, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng quietly observed this interesting human.
It possesses a certain level of intelligence and can understand Yi Yun's words.
Humans are such a foolish species; they don't even realize they're under Illusion Technique and think they're dreaming.
Such a foolish species actually dared to attempt to pick the Blood Sun Flower; it was utterly delusional.
Yi Yun seemed puzzled for a long time. Suddenly, he swung down his Thousand Army Saber, the blade flashing like lightning, slashing down mercilessly.
"Boom!"
Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and a deep, dark crack appeared in the ground.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment, then carefully reached in and groped around in the darkness, but of course, he didn't find anything.
He muttered to himself, "Wasn't this right here last time? This Blood Sun Flower... did it run away?"
Seeing how stupid Yi Yun was, if Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng could make expressions, it would laugh until tears streamed down its face.
Are all humans this stupid? They wouldn't even realize they're under Illusion Technique, yet he's so naive as to think he could find the Blood Sun Flower here.
That's absolutely idiotic!
By this time, Yi Yun had moved to a different location and started digging again.
Of course, they dug out an empty space again.
Yi Yun, however, was not discouraged at all. He rolled up his sleeves and began digging everywhere on the flat cliff, as if he wanted to dig three feet into the ground.
In the eyes of the Primordial Relic Medicine, Yi Yun's behavior was clearly ridiculous.
However, it gradually lost its joy. It discovered that although Yi Yun was digging aimlessly, he was getting closer to the location of the Blood Sun Flower.
What... what a coincidence!
Yi Yun was digging randomly, and he's almost found Blood Sun Flower.
Seeing that Yi Yun was digging more and more carefully and deeper, if this continued, he might actually dig up Blood Sun Flower!
Is this a case of fools having good fortune?
Of course, Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng couldn't just stand by and watch Yi Yun take away the Blood Sun Flower.
It suddenly realized that the lesson it had taught this foolish human last time hadn't been deep enough. This time, it would definitely teach him a more profound lesson, and ideally, find a way to eliminate him once and for all. (To be continued~^~)
