The King Of Medicine had said that those who successfully passed the three stages of the Medicine Requesting Cave could take away the medicine they requested. Now that Han Yunxi and the rest had passed the third stone door, they should be able to get the medicine, right?
Logically speaking, that should be the case. However, the enchanting woman did not explain anything, so Han Yunxi and the rest could not help but feel uneasy. After passing through the stone door, they still saw a dark passage.
Other than the word "medicine" on the stone door, there were no other instructions. Han Yunxi and the rest could only continue forward.
When their figures disappeared into the darkness, the King Of Medicine appeared again.
He was relieved that Han Yunxi and the rest were safe. If anything had happened to Han Yunxi today, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
"What do you think it's like inside?" the King Of Medicine asked in a low voice.
Because no one had successfully passed the three stages of the Medicine Requesting Cave, the stone door had never been opened since it was set up. Even the King Of Medicine, as the head of the Medicine Hut, did not know much about it.
Although the Medicine Requesting Cave belonged to the Medicine Hut, it was the most special and independent existence of the Medicine Hut.
"If you don't know, how would I know?"
The enchanting woman was also very curious. She had been sent to the Medicine Hut to learn medicine when she was young. She had successfully passed the test and was allowed to stay. When she grew up, she was fortunate enough to become a gatekeeper of the Medicine Requesting Cave. However, her understanding of the Medicine Requesting Cave was even less than the King Of Medicine's. She was only responsible for guarding the third stage.
"Let's go in and take a look?" the King Of Medicine suggested.
The enchanting woman immediately laughed. "Old Yao, you must be joking. It's not like you don't know the rules of the Medicine Requesting Cave. You should spare me!"
The enchanting woman had already broken the rules by colluding with the King Of Medicine to make things difficult for Han Yunxi. If she broke the rules again, she did not dare to imagine the consequences.
She was about to leave when she turned back and sneered. "Old Yao, Han Yunxi acknowledged you as her master in front of everyone. Don't lose such a good disciple."
Although she was unwilling, the enchanting woman was still very impressed with Han Yunxi's medicine appraisal skills. The setting of the Medicine Requesting Cave was actually difficult at first, then easy.
If an expert were to seriously ponder over it, they would definitely discover that the first stage was far more difficult than the second and third stages.
If Han Yunxi had not passed the first stage, no matter how good Gu Beiyue's medical skills were or how strange Long Fei Ye's internal energy was, they would not have been able to perform.
Back then, the Medicine Hut's founder, the Medicine Ancestor, had set up these three tests to test one's alchemy skills. Only after passing the test would one be qualified to enter the Medicine Requesting Cave.
The King Of Medicine could hear the sarcasm in the enchanting woman's voice, but he was not in the mood to care about it. At this moment, his heart was filled with melancholy!
When Han Yunxi and the others got the Muscle Growing Ointment, how should he face them?
If he told Han Yunxi that he was willing to teach her everything he had learned in his life and would not force her to stay in the Medicine Hut, would she take it for granted that today's events did not happen?
The King Of Medicine did not dare to barge in, so he just waited outside.
Worry, regret!
At this moment, Han Yunxi and the others were still moving forward. Unlike the short tunnel from before, this tunnel was especially long. It was spring now, and they were in a cave. The temperature inside the cave was definitely lower than outside. However, the further they walked, the hotter it became. They could only feel a hot current in front of them.
"Could there be a big fire in front?" Long Fei Ye was still vigilant.
"If there was a big fire, there would definitely be light. It wouldn't be so dark." Gu Beiyue said. Based on the current heat of the current, if there was a fire, they should be able to see the light.
Han Yunxi grew curious. "Besides fire, are there any other sources of heat?"
"Sources of heat?" Gu Beiyue didn't understand. Long Fei Ye had long gotten used to Han Yunxi's strange new words.
"It's a general term for anything that can generate heat," Han Yunxi explained.
Aside from open flames, there were many other things that could generate heat in the modern world. In ancient times, she could only think of natural geothermal heat.
There were many ways to generate geothermal heat, such as steam or hot springs. If it was just these two, it wouldn't be so frightening. Han Yunxi would most likely encounter molten lava!
They'd already passed the three trials, so the Medicine Requesting Cave wouldn't go back on their word and make things difficult for them, right?
"If there's nothing that can generate heat with open flames, then it's hard to say. The world is so big, nothing is too strange," Gu Beiyue said mildly.
His words reminded Han Yunxi of something. After all, there were plenty of things in Cloud Realm Continent that she couldn't explain with science, so there was no point in analyzing them. They'd find out once they reached the front.
There seemed to be a long way to go.
In the silence, Han Yunxi spoke up first. "Doctor Gu, your medical skills aren't just at the fifth rank, right?"
She'd long wanted to know if this guy could treat Halfday Cough.
"This one never went to the medical academy to take the advancement exams, so I'm not sure what rank I'm at now. But I should be at the sixth rank," Gu Beiyue was very modest.
"Doctor Gu, does the medical academy's Academy Head know that you're so modest?" Han Yunxi teased.
Even Academy Head Gu couldn't treat whooping cough, but Gu Beiyue could write down the correct prescription on his first try. He had to be at the seventh rank at the very least.
"Most likely, Academy Head Gu didn't test the medicine himself. Otherwise, this illness would be a small matter to him. Esteemed wangfei knows as well that the prescription is just a little complicated, but the ingredients used aren't unorthodox."
Han Yunxi agreed with Gu Beiyue's explanation. If he needed unorthodox ingredients, her detox system might not have all of them. In this way, the second round wasn't as difficult as the first round.
"Esteemed wangfei, this one is puzzled. How did you happen to have those seventeen ingredients in your hands?" Gu Beiyue had been holding back for a long time.
It was very normal for people in the medical world to carry medicine with them. Doctors would have medical kits and medicine boxes, and pharmacists would have medicine boxes and medicine bags.
However, those seventeen ingredients were all cough medicines and belonged to the same category. Normally, they wouldn't be used at the same time, so no one would carry all of them with them.
Strangest of all, Han Yunxi had brought along medicinal powders that could be taken immediately after being boiled. Although he wasn't a pharmacist, Gu Beiyue was still well aware of many pharmaceutical principles. Not every medicine could be ground into powder and taken directly. Some medicines needed to be processed before they were ground into powder, and some needed to be processed after they were ground. Moreover, different prescriptions had different ways of processing the medicine.
He could taste it when he drank the medicine. Han Yunxi's powders had been processed according to the prescription.
How could such a thing be a coincidence?
Gu Beiyue didn't voice out the real doubts in his heart, but Han Yunxi knew that this matter couldn't be concealed.
She had no choice but to take out so many powders in front of everyone. There was nothing she could do!
She glanced at Long Fei Ye from the corner of her eye. Seeing that guy's expressionless face and silent, she knew that he was also waiting for an answer.
She didn't mean to hide the matter of her transmigration. It was very difficult to explain, and she didn't even know how she transmigrated, so how could she explain it to them?
As for her high-tech detox system, it was even harder to explain. She estimated that even if she explained for three days and three nights, they would still have a lot of questions. She didn't want to find trouble for herself.
Han Yunxi pondered for a moment and answered, "This isn't a coincidence, there's a secret!"
When she said this, Long Fei Ye immediately looked over.
Han Yunxi curled her finger and beckoned him over with a smile. "It's a secret. Speak softly."
Long Fei Ye's expression was Cold, but his actions were very obedient. He immediately drew closer. Han Yunxi pulled him closer to Gu Beiyue and whispered, "Because I inherited the Poison Sect's poison storage space."
Han Yunxi explained the Poison Sect's poison storage space in a concise manner. However, she described the detox system's special functions as the poison storage space. In reality, the poison storage space only stored poisons. Only the detox system could store medicines and identify them.
With this explanation, Long Fei Ye and Gu Beiyue both understood. They were both surprised and delighted.
Long Fei Ye stroked Han Yunxi's bangs. "You've grown wings now. You dare to hide good things from this prince?"
Han Yunxi's smile was very stiff. "I only fully opened the space recently and figured it out. I was still confused before. I had to figure it out first before telling you. "
"What's the latest time?" Long Feiye asked next.
"When I went to the Poison Sect's altar," Han Yunxi replied.
"Recently?" Long Fei Ye's voice changed.
Han Yunxi smiled apologetically. "I was afraid you wouldn't believe me, but I found it quite unbelievable myself …"
Seeing Han Yunxi pressed so hard, Gu Beiyue suddenly exclaimed, "Esteemed wangfei, does that mean Lady Tianxin is from the Poison Sect?"
He was clearly trying to save the situation, so Long Fei Ye didn't pursue Han Yunxi any further.
Han Yunxi wanted nothing more than for someone to help her out of this predicament. She hastily replied to Gu Beiyue, "I'm not related to the Han Family by blood. My mother married Han Congan because she was pregnant with me. My mother is Mu Xin of Medicine City's Mu Family. My father is from the Poison Sect."
She had inexplicably trusted Gu Beiyue a long time ago and didn't hide many things from him. Now, she trusted him even more.
Gu Beiyue was an absolute actor. He was startled at first, then hastily bowed. "Don't worry, esteemed wangfei. This one will definitely not say a word about this matter!"
Long Fei Ye sneered from the side. He didn't know why someone as smart as Han Yunxi would trust Gu Beiyue so much.
Han Yunxi simply trusted him so much that she nodded without saying anything else.
"This one has heard that pill masters can cultivate a medicine storage space, but I didn't expect the Poison Sect to have such a good thing as well. Esteemed wangfei didn't need to cultivate and inherited it. It's truly a great fortune," Gu Beiyue sighed with emotion.
Long Fei Ye agreed with these words. Being a remnant of the Poison Sect had brought Han Yunxi a lot of trouble, but at the very least, they'd given her something good as compensation.
Gu Beiyue and Han Yunxi's questions had been answered, but Long Fei Ye still had another question. He didn't understand how Gu Beiyue had managed to repulse his vitality. After all, Gu Beiyue's dantian was already crippled, so there was no way he could do that.
He couldn't ask this question in front of Han Yunxi, so Long Fei Ye could only continue to hold it in.
They continued to walk forward. After walking for a while, they finally saw a light up ahead. The heat wave coming at them grew hotter and hotter, but the light was very weak, like a lamp.
They hurried over and passed through an open stone door. The heat wave was so strong that they couldn't open their eyes. But they still opened them wide because they were stunned by what they saw!
Heavens!
What did they just see?
