As the only person in this world who has awakened the Qingqiu bloodline, Yue Bai is essentially the current master of Qingqiu!

Although she wanted to stay by her brother's side forever, the sense of responsibility from her bloodline still drove her to try to revitalize the Qingqiu clan.

If there truly are remnants of the Qingqiu from the previous epoch or other inheritances in that secret realm, then it is her unquestionable duty to go there.

"Is there any doubt?" Grand Saint of Nine Spirits nodded affirmatively, planning to use this matter to stall for a few months. According to the report, even he had a hard time calculating the key to the secret realm, which seemed to have been lost in some forgotten land.

But no matter, without the key, he would personally break through the doors of the secret realm.

"By the way, where is the secret realm located?" Yue Bai suddenly asked.

"Oh, it's near the Medicine Valley. Head east straight for three thousand li and you will see Crescent Moon Mountain nearby," Grand Saint of Nine Spirits recalled the location Fang Zhi had mentioned and casually stated.

"Can I go to the Sixth Realm?"

"You can go, but it would be best if this Emperor accompanies you..." Grand Saint of Nine Spirits recalled Fang Zhi's warning that something dangerous seemed to be hidden within the secret realm.

But when he looked up again to remind Yue Bai about it, he found that his obedient disciple, who had just been in front of him, had already disappeared, leaving only drifting clouds of smoke.

"..." Grand Saint of Nine Spirits stood dumbfounded, catching a white fox fur that was slowly falling from where Yue Bai had been and feeling the aura of the Escape Skill from it.

The innate Escape Skill of the Qingqiu clan, based on deceit, deceives everyone's perception.

Yue Bai, already far away, had a mischievous smile as she glanced back in the direction of her master and spirited away towards Medicine Valley.

"Really thinks I'm dumb..." She had long noticed her master's intention to delay her, using the Demon Clan's plans, though she didn't know the specific reason. But to see her brother Liang Yi and sister Youyi sooner, she had to act this way.

This move was something Yue Bai had never used in front of her master before, and she hadn't even mentioned it to him after learning it; it was meant to be kept a secret for potential escape.

Under the unguarded moment of her master, using it now actually completely fooled him.

"Alas..." Grand Saint of Nine Spirits sighed deeply, ultimately letting his loved disciple go. Although it would be effortless for him to bring Yue Bai back, merely catching her wouldn't solve anything.

"Hmph, but as a price for making a fool out of your master, I'll wait for you to suffer a setback there and then rescue you," Although he allowed Yue Bai to go, as a price for losing face, Grand Saint of Nine Spirits still planned to let his disciple learn a lesson before stepping in to save her.

This was a tradition of holding grudges, even towards his disciple.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Liang Yi and others had already arrived directly at Medicine Valley, a top-tier First-class force, via the Beidu of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty.

Although it's called Medicine Valley, the place Liang Yi and others arrived was actually a city adjacent to Medicine Valley.

People of Medicine Valley possess benevolent hearts and medical morals, often attracting patients with severe injuries or complicated diseases seeking a glimmer of hope for help from the Valley's denizens.

Over the years, the area around Medicine Valley gradually prospered as patients gathered, and after thousands of years of development, Medicine City has become one of the great cities of this era, rivaling the four major cities of Xuanzhou of the Immortal Dynasty.

The residents and cultivators living here dislike conflict and prefer a peaceful life; the city's harmonious atmosphere makes it one of the players' favorite main cities.

Medicine City even surpassed Qingliang in players' votes to become the "most wanted city to buy property and reside in."

With a great environment, pleasant city atmosphere, huge player traffic, and relatively cheap land prices coupled with not outrageously difficult prerequisite tasks, these advantages make it no wonder that players linger here and find it hard to leave.

Although Medicine Valley, Little Bamboo House, and the Refining sect are three First-class forces in this large area, there is only Medicine City as the main city, resulting in a significant concentration of player residents.

Don't panic if you see cultivators practicing alchemy with fire, tasting herbs with their mouths, carrying extremely long fishing rods, or wielding hammers on the streets—it's perfectly normal in this city.

At this moment, Liang Yi noticed a "dual skilled" player with a fishing rod in the left hand and a hammer in the right, making his own fishing rod, seemingly not trusting others' craftsmanship.

"Senior brother, this city is so comfortable..." Su Youyi, new to the city, felt inexplicably excited, signifying another place she and her senior brother had traveled together.

Moreover, the air in Medicine City always faintly carries a medicinal scent. This refreshing aroma is not strong, but it gives a very comfortable feeling.

Adding to that, the city's layout might look ordinary at first glance but becomes increasingly intriguing upon closer inspection, making it hard for anyone to dislike it here.

Spiritual Medicines are abundantly and paradoxically scarce in Medicine City; you might pull out a medicinal herb just walking down the street.

Yet Medicine City faces the enormous demand for Spiritual Medicines from the entire Mystical Mechanism Continent and though its daily output is vast, it still faces shortages.

Not to mention the top-tier spiritual medicines, which are rare and sought after, with rewards frequently posted at the city gates hoping to fortuitously find one or two plants.

"This king really hasn't been here in a long while; the 'Fragrant Jade Haoxuan Spiritual Wine' jointly produced by Little Bamboo House and Medicine Valley here is truly unparalleled," Zhou Zuixi glanced around and saw that the place hadn't changed much, though the attire of people seemed odd. But remembering the renowned spiritual wine here, he grew impatient.

Old Mister Orange was quite fascinated by the faint medicinal aroma in the air and wished to find its source and try it, but unfortunately, Liang Yi wouldn't allow him to wander off.

The bustling city was bustling with people, unlike other cities with players dressed in cultivator robes. Most players in Medicine City dressed oddly, showing a wide variety of outfits that indicated their secondary professions at a glance.

Before the players arrived, Medicine City was normal. But after the advent of the players, everyone started wearing attribute-enhancing equipment specific to their secondary professions, leaving the original inhabitants of Medicine City, the pharmacists, fishermen, and tool refiners, staring in astonishment.

Who dresses like this normally?

But when they realized that these Abnormal People wearing these clothes experienced increased success rates in alchemy and tool forging, and occasionally caught good things while fishing,

Others began to follow suit, quickly picking up on the trend.
