Chapter 28: The Abyss
Qin Shisan left.
Tang Yifan also sent people to collect medicinal herbs.
Yang Jiuli ordered that all medicinal herbs over a hundred years old from the estate's properties be brought to Piaoxue Manor.
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
It rained lightly for seven days in a row.
The lack of stars in the night slowed down Yang Jiuli's cultivation.
Fortunately, a considerable amount of medicinal herbs were delivered from Piaoxue Mountain Villa.
Among them are many Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms that are over 150 years old.
There was even a ginseng king that was 380 years old.
Even in the cultivation world, medicinal herbs of this age would be considered rare spiritual herbs, even for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining!
Yang Jiuli didn't stand on ceremony and directly used the Three Lives Stone to refine these precious medicines into the power of the 'Past Life Talisman'.
The second prototype of the "Past Life Talisman" (61/100)
"If we can gather another precious herb that is over 300 years old, the second 'Past Life Talisman' will be fully formed."
Looking at the second "Past Life Talisman" next to the Three Lives Stone, Yang Jiuli murmured, his confidence slowly increasing.
As he withdrew from his meditation, his gaze shifted, and he rose from his bed.
It was Li Molan who came to report.
News came from the scouts outside Snowdrift Manor.
Grandmaster Wei Wuji was leading Qin Zhixue towards the 'Black Abyss'.
Wei Zhan followed beside him.
Now, Snowdrift Manor, Famous Sword Manor, and Tang Family Fort have all sent people to closely follow Wei Wuji.
This made Yang Jiuli breathe a slight sigh of relief.
As long as Wei Wuji and the others go to the 'Black Abyss', everything will proceed as expected.
……
That night, dark clouds obscured the moon.
At this moment, in the eastern part of the Great Wei Dynasty, in a forbidden area of Hanshui Peak of Mingjian Manor.
Qin Jianhe moved like a ghost, taking advantage of the moonlight to arrive at the forbidden area.
He almost imitated Yang Jiuli, using a sleeping potion to knock out the two clansmen guarding the ancestral blessed land.
Then they opened the stone gate inside the mountain and entered the mountain's interior.
The immortal body of Yang Xiangru, the patriarch of Piaoxue Mountain Villa, is suspended in a coffin above a cold pond.
Qin Jianmei, however, was buried directly in an ice cave.
Qin Jianhe carefully carried the coffin out and closed the stone gate of the blessed land.
Under the moonlight, Qin Jianhe drove a specially made, large carriage carrying the coffin away from Mingjian Manor overnight.
The carriage had been prepared with many huge ice stones.
Qin Shisan traveled with his trusted confidants.
Many years later, the two people guarding the blessed land at Mingjian Manor still struggled with this matter in their hearts.
The body of their ancestor was stolen.
But it returned intact not long after!
As for who stole the Qin family patriarch's...
But then it was returned...
It wasn't until many years later that they learned the truth.
……
The following day, Tang Yifan delivered a lot of old medicine.
Among them is a snow lotus that is nearly four hundred years old, filled with a chilling aura that is breathtaking.
When the snow lotus arrived, the jade box containing it was covered in frost.
Yang Jiuli was overjoyed to receive this snow lotus.
The medicinal herbs, nearly four hundred years old, are extremely rare even in the cultivation world, enough to make cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining envious.
Tang Yifan, this little fanboy, was quite frank.
This precious medicine is usually meant to be a treasured item for the entire clan.
This time, however, he presented it to Yang Jiuli, which shows his sincerity.
"Not bad, not bad!" Yang Jiuli said repeatedly, and then had Li Molan accept the five jade boxes.
"Ninth Brother, because of the time constraints, I could only gather these medicinal herbs!" Tang Yifan said, scratching his head.
Seeing that Yang Jiuli seemed quite satisfied with the medicinal herbs he had given him, he was also quite pleased.
"With these medicinal herbs, I have a much better chance of defeating the Wei traitors!" Yang Jiuli patted Tang Yifan on the shoulder and said, "If the Wei traitors are defeated one day, you will have made a great contribution, and your Ninth Brother will never forget your kindness!"
"As long as Ninth Brother needs it, Tang Family Fort will do its utmost to help!" Tang Yifan said with a happy smile.
He then mentioned the snow-capped mountains in the southwest, where there are snow lotuses, but they are guarded by ferocious beasts, making it difficult for ordinary herb gatherers to enter.
Afterwards, Yang Jiuli chatted with Tang Yifan for a few minutes before going into seclusion to refine all the century-old medicinal herbs.
……
Three days later, at dawn.
Yang Jiuli stopped cultivating.
He looked inward into his sea of consciousness.
Rebirth location: Primordial Star, Great Wei Dynasty (formerly a level nine cultivation kingdom... now level 0)
Name: Yang Jiuli.
Lifespan: 23/88. (After taking many precious medicines, Yang Jiuli's lifespan has increased slightly.)
Cultivation level: Half-step Grandmaster.
Strength: 2,500 jin.
Martial Arts: "Treading Snow Without a Trace," "Frosty Jade Hand," "Heavenly Fiend Body Refining Technique," "Snowflake Swordplay," "Frosty Fiend Palm"
……
Two Tier 1 'Past Life Talismans'. 2 uses.
The prototype of the "Past Life Talisman" (8/100)
Mental Strength: Level 9 (100/100)
'Taiyin Qi Talisman' (100/100)
Two Soul Arrows.
……
"The third 'Past Life Talisman' is taking shape... truly worthy of being a four-hundred-year-old snow lotus!"
Yang Jiuli was quite satisfied with this. After refining the snow lotus, he not only condensed the second 'Past Life Talisman' into shape.
The "Taiyin Qi Talisman" was also perfected.
Even his blood energy began to transform into icy true energy, enabling him to reach the half-step Grandmaster realm.
With each additional "Past Life Talisman" and "Taiyin Qi Talisman," he would have one more chance to save his life.
As soon as he regained his senses, Yang Jiuli sensed that Li Molan was coming from outside with a carrier pigeon.
"Come in!" Yang Jiuli got off the bed and went to the outer room.
Li Molan pushed open the door and entered.
"Young Master, a message has arrived from Famous Sword Manor!" Li Molan said.
She carried the birdcage and took out the small bamboo tube tied to the carrier pigeon, handing it to Yang Jiuli.
Yang Jiuli took the bamboo tube, removed the sealing wax, and took out the paper strip.
A line of words appeared on the note: "Our ancestor has been brought out, and his immortal body is intact. Nephew, you can proceed with peace of mind!"
A small sword is drawn at the bottom of the signature.
"Proceed according to the original plan!" Yang Jiuli wrote a note, stuffed it into a bamboo tube, and sent the message away.
……
The following day, at Snowdrift Manor, Yang Qin, the commander of the Shadow Guards, led a team of Shadow Guards to escort two carriages out of Snowdrift Manor.
The convoy was pulled by horses carrying a lot of supplies.
One of the carriages had windows and doors that were completely sealed off, and cold air was emanating from inside. It was being pulled by four mutated horses.
Inside the carriage was a coffin made of Phoebe zhennan wood, as well as huge blocks of ice placed in wooden barrels.
In another luxurious carriage, Yang Xuan and Yang Jiuli sat upright.
The people from Tangjiabao followed closely behind.
"That carriage is emanating a chilling aura. Could it be that Yang Xuan has reached the Grandmaster realm?" Tang Yuan and the others were extremely surprised when they saw the chilling aura emanating from the carriage behind them.
……
September 8th:
The Black Abyss is perpetually shrouded in black mist.
When looking down from high above, it is difficult to see things clearly.
Some say that in ancient times a giant hand descended from the sky, shattering the earth and creating this 'Black Abyss' that is thousands of meters deep. Others say that an immortal cleaved the earth with a sword, tearing out this enormous 'Black Abyss' that is 600 miles wide and 1,800 miles long.
Nobody knows how it was formed.
However, everyone in the martial arts world of the Great Wei knows that Grandmasters Yang Xiangru, Qin Jianmei, and Tang Bai all acquired their martial arts skills in the Black Abyss.
With this, he stepped into the Grandmaster realm.
Therefore, the "Black Abyss" has become an adventure paradise for countless martial arts practitioners.
