He thought about it and was in no hurry to leave. He wanted to experience what it was like to be here.
Since he was facing the wall, it was a very light punishment. He would not be killed, and even if he felt uncomfortable, it would not endanger his life. Thus, he was very relieved.
The disciples of the Pavilion of Heavenly Mysteries were extremely talented. It was not easy to obtain one, and they would not easily lose one.
His original plan was that he couldn't stay here forever. After a year, he would leave immediately after snatching the Soaring Grass. Even if the Secret Pavilion chased after him, it would be Xu Hun. He would be able to extricate himself from this matter.
Even if Xu Hun knew that someone was impersonating him, he would not know who it was because he was not using his own appearance.
Everything had been carefully arranged, but he also knew that everything was up to the heavens. There was a limit to one's plans, and no matter how meticulous one's plans were, there was no guarantee that everything would go as one wished. Even if he couldn't snatch the Soaring Grass, being able to see so many books in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets' Scripture Pavilion was still a fortunate event, a great harvest.
As time passed, the sky grew darker and darker. Soon, night came. Standing on Divine Eye Peak, he could not see the surrounding lights. He could only see a bright moon rising, and the world was quiet.
As the night deepened, so did the chill in the night wind. He had to constantly circulate the Heavenly Heart Technique to expel the chill. Even so, the Heavenly Heart Technique was no longer enough.
His intuition did not warn him of danger, so he was not in a hurry to use other cultivation methods. He continued to use the Heavenly Heart Technique to expel the chill.
However, the power of the Heavenly Heart Technique was far from enough. In the middle of the night, his blood Qi seemed to freeze.
As his blood Qi froze, not only did his senses not become numb, but they became even more acute. He could clearly feel the chill cutting his body and organs like thousands of knives.
After midnight, the cold air slowly receded, but the pain became more intense. His blood and Qi gradually circulated, and the feeling of being bitten by ants arose. It was as if thousands of ants were biting his bones, penetrating deep into his bones. It was numb, itchy, and painful, and he couldn't help but want to cry out.
As time passed, the sun rose, shining golden light on his body.
This golden light seemed to be able to penetrate his skin and directly penetrate his internal organs. The cold Qi quickly disappeared, and a burning sensation circulated in his internal organs.
As the sun rose higher, Zhang Xuan's internal organs felt like they were being roasted on a stove. They grew hotter and hotter, and the pain was unbearable. Zhang Xuan faintly felt like he was being roasted. Not only were his internal organs aching, but his blood and Qi were also boiling.
It was as if he was being fried in a pan of oil.
A day later, in the evening, he finally felt a little comfortable and took a deep breath.
On this day, he felt like he had gone through a cycle of reincarnation, as if he had walked through the eighteen layers of hell. One day felt like many years had passed. He felt like the blue sea had turned into mulberry fields. Suddenly, he gained a trace of comprehension of the Heavenly Heart Sutra, improving a little.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He vaguely understood why the Inner Wall was able to improve the Heavenly Heart Technique.
The pain of Yin and Yang could indeed improve the Heaven Heart Technique, just like when he was in Yinyang Cave back then. Unfortunately, the pain was not something ordinary people could endure. Many would probably break down and pass out right away.
He was not in a hurry to leave this place. He wanted to carefully ponder over it and find out where the profoundness of the Heavenly Heart Sutra lay.

"Senior brother Li!" In the early morning, when the white-haired elder looked at the herb garden, he noticed two Soaring Grass that had turned yellow. His expression suddenly changed and he cried out involuntarily.
Each Soaring Grass was exceptionally precious. It was a matter of great importance to the number of Soaring Pills.
A Soaring Pill's medicinal effect could increase one's cultivation by ten years, saving decades of hard cultivation. How could it be taken lightly?
The yellow-faced elder floated to him from another thatched cottage. When he saw the two Soaring Grass in the herb garden, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"
The white-haired elder shook his head. "I've been like this since I came out. I was fine last night!"
The yellow-faced elder squatted down and stared closely at the Soaring Grass. It was withered and listless, looking like it was about to die. His heart ached at the sight of it and he wished he could replace it with his own body.
He was cold to others but he treated the spirit grass like his own. He raised the spirit grass like his own children and could not tolerate any accidents. He doted on the spirit grass when it was sick more than when he was sick himself. He wished he was the one who got sick instead.
He had been staying here to take care of the Soaring Grass. Every Soaring Grass was meticulously taken care of by him. He could identify each of them as if they were his family treasures.
When he saw the state of the two Soaring Grass, he knew that they were doomed. There was no sign of life and they were about to die.
"Bang!" He punched the ground of the Spirit Medicine Nursery and gritted his teeth. He blamed himself for being too careless and not being able to save the two Soaring Grass in time. If he had discovered it earlier, he might have had a chance of survival.
"Senior brother Li, don't blame yourself. Is there really no way to save them?"
"There's no way!" The yellow-faced elder said hatefully, "It's all my fault!"
He used to check every night before going to bed. Last night, because of Chu Li, he went to the torture hall in the pavilion and explained the cause of the matter. After returning, he went straight to bed. He did not expect to encounter this.
The white-haired elder frowned. "What's going on? We didn't move."
"The Soaring Grass is too precious. Even the slightest change can cause a disaster." The yellow-faced elder shook his head and sighed. "That's why we set it as a forbidden area to prevent outsiders from entering to prevent disturbing them. I didn't expect a problem to occur."
"Is it because of that little fella?" The white-haired elder frowned.
"It must be because of him." The yellow-faced elder scoffed. "It's very likely that the spiritual energy was disturbed when he was fighting … Sigh, it's hard to explain. We can't blame him entirely!"
"Two Soaring Grass!" The white-haired elder said helplessly. "One Soaring Pill is gone!"
Both of their expressions were terrible.
They could only share the cost of one Soaring Pill. Losing one and a half was a great loss.
The Soaring Grass matured once every ten years, and the Soaring Pill could only be harvested once every ten years. There were too many monks and not enough porridge. They were supposed to receive an extra half a pill for guarding the place, but now it was gone.
"What should we do with these two Soaring Grass?" The white-haired elder sighed. "We can't leave them here and let others see them … Let's just break them and bury them!"
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust." The yellow-faced elder nodded. "Bury them in the Spirit Medicine Nursery."
As he spoke, he picked up the shovel beside him and quickly dug a hole. Then, he placed the two withered Soaring Grass into the hole and buried them. He shook his head and sighed heavily.
"Since it's already happened, there's no point in thinking about it. It's just half a Soaring Pill!"
"Sigh … What a pity!"
At this moment, Chu Li was sitting on God Eye Peak. Suddenly, he sensed something and knew that the two Soaring Grass had been pulled out and buried in the ground.
He pressed his hand on the rock and followed the ground to sense the two Soaring Grass.
The Soaring Grass had the aura of the Life and Death Scripture. Since his spiritual energy had increased greatly, the Life and Death Scripture had also improved slightly. He could sense far away using spiritual energy, which was similar to the Omniscient Mirror.
However, the Omniscient Mirror was greatly affected by formations, but the Life and Death Scripture was different. Its sense of spiritual energy was not affected by formations.
