Seeing these patterns, Qin Yichen knew that the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk had not been wasted.

If there were still no patterns inside the Pill Furnace, he would have gone as far as to take out the stored Spirit Milk to let the small Pill Furnace absorb more!

Having experienced it once, he was very clear about the function of these patterns.

However, although some changes had occurred inside the Pill Furnace, its overall appearance had not changed. It still looked inconspicuous, as if it was just another abandoned Pill Furnace.

Qin Yichen did not mind this though. Being bright and shiny did not necessarily mean it was precious. Being too eye-catching might even get him in trouble.

“*Phew…* I’ve finally managed to break through.”

After checking himself, a faint smile appeared on Qin Yichen’s lips. With his Spiritual Energy and his current cultivation, he was no longer afraid of facing ordinary Martial Grandmasters.

“Truly worthy of being a top tier Treasured Wonder!” Qin Yichen was satisfied.

In the world, herbs were divided into ordinary herbs, spirit medicine, and then Treasured Wonder.

The Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk was top tier even among Treasured Wonders.

Originally, it would take at least a month or even several months to break through, but with the help of the Thousand Year Old Spirit Milk, it only took a few hours to break through smoothly. This shows how amazingly effective this Treasured Wonder was.

After tidying up, he put the Pill Furnace, jade bottle, and the pearl spat out by the statue into his bag. Only then did Qin Yichen walk towards the cave entrance.

A night had passed, and the number of people at Black Wood Cliff had not decreased, but instead increased.

These people linked the previous heavenly phenomenon with this place, so more and more powerful experts were gathering towards the Black Demon Mountain Range.

When Qin Yichen walked out of the cave, it was already close to dawn.

*Rustle.* As soon as he poked his head out, several pieces of gravel fell down from beside him.

“Huh?” Hearing these sounds, Qin Yichen frowned, becoming alert.

“Damn it, how deep is this damn place!?”

Just as Qin Yichen was focusing, an angry curse came from above and to his left. In the hazy mist, Qin Yichen saw a figure carefully climbing down towards him. At the same time, not far to his right, there were similar climbing sounds.

Fortunately, the cliff was filled with thick fog, with visibility not exceeding ten metres. Otherwise, they would have seen Qin Yichen long ago.

[Have I been discovered?] Qin Yichen’s pupils contracted as he concealed himself, observing in secret.

A moment later, he was surprised to find that these people’s goal was not him. They all continue to climb down the bottomless cliff.

“What’s going on?” Qin Yichen was completely confused, unable to comprehend what was happening. He soon remembered the screams he had heard not long ago.

He did not understand why but it was clear these people wanted to go down to the bottomless cliff.

[Is there something attracting them at the bottom of the cliff?] He did not think too deeply about it. He grabbed the thin rope, stepped on it, and his figure quickly climbed up like an agile ape.

“Oh? Another one came back, haha!”

Just as Qin Yichen climbed up the cliff, a mocking voice suddenly came.

Qin Yichen was slightly startled, only to find that there were now hundreds of people around Black Wood Cliff.

[Something must have happened!]

“Little Brother, why did you go down as well? Fortunately, you’re quite sensible and know when to retreat. Otherwise, I’m afraid you would have…”

Among the crowd, a sharp-eyed mercenary, who was one of those who had entered Black Demon Mountain Range with Qin Yichen, recognized him and hurriedly walked up to him, asking in a low voice, “Did you find any treasures down there?”

“Treasures?” A hint of alertness flashed through Qin Yichen’s heart, but he pretended to look disappointed and shook his head with a sigh.

“That’s right, at least several hundred people have gone down, and I heard that there were even several Martial Grandmasters among them. Even if there is something, it wouldn’t be your turn to get it.” Seeing his disappointed look, the mercenary also sighed and muttered.

Afterwards, Qin Yichen also learned about what had happened here from the discussions of the people present.

[Yesterday at dusk?] He calculated the time carefully and found that it seemed to be shortly after he had entered the cave.

[That must be… The shrine, the statue, and the pearl!] These three things appeared in Qin Yichen’s mind, and he felt that this matter seemed to be related to him.

The shattering of the statue must have triggered something.

This reminded him of the mysterious patterns at the cave entrance.

[Perhaps that statue was a crucial part of the Sealing Array, and after the statue shattered, the seal was removed? In that case, could there be an ancient ruin down there?] Qin Yichen looked towards the bottomless cliff, his eyes flashing with a bright light.

If it was an ancient ruin, then it would be worth going down for a look. If he could obtain one or two ancient treasures, it would be very helpful for him.

Having made up his mind, Qin Yichen did not immediately go down, but stood at the edge of the cliff watching like the others. After all, he never experienced this in his previous life, so naturally, he needed to know the situation down there before making any plans.

During this time, many people went down, and a few individuals climbed up from below the cliff.

Just as the people on the cliff were hesitating whether to go down or not, suddenly, from the distant forest opposite Black Wood Cliff, an urgent and sharp whistling sound rang out.

At the moment the whistling sound rang out, Qin Yichen’s gaze suddenly turned towards the direction the sound came from.

At the end of his vision, there was a green light, like a green sword, cutting through the forest, which was rapidly approaching the direction of Black Wood Cliff.

As the green light approached, the Yuan Energy in the world rippled, and the many powerful experts on the cliff also sensed it. Immediately, many surprised gazes were cast in that direction.

*Whoosh!* Under the watch of many shocked gazes, this green light rapidly approached. Finally, under the stunned gazes of everyone present, like an eagle spreading its wings, it flew across the several metres wide cliff and landed at the forefront of the crowd, transforming into a figure.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on this green figure.

The person wore a green robe and stood with hands behind his back. The cool breeze on the cliff blew his long hair, making him look extremely carefree.

His demeanour impressed many.

“He… he came from inside the Black Demon Mountain Range!?”

Many were shocked. If the person in front of them had come from inside, then his strength must be at least that of a Martial Grandmaster or above.

“One of the Three Outstanding Prodigies of the Royal City, the Proud Heavenly Swordsman… Luo Qingyu!”

Someone in the crowd recognized the identity of this green-robed figure and immediately called out in surprise.
