BATTLE THROUGH THE HEAVEN
Ice Spirit Fire Grass

The cold and dark surroundings enveloped the two as they walked inside the desolate mountain cave. Amidst the silence, only the soft footsteps of two people could be heard.

The surrounding atmosphere caused the Fairy Doctor to instinctively hug herself. He raised his head and saw Xiao Yan walking slowly in front of him. A brief hesitation later, he increased his steps and followed behind him. In this environment, only the young man in front of her gave her a sense of security.

After walking for more than ten minutes in a silent atmosphere, the Fairy Doctor began to feel that the extremely silent atmosphere was unbearable. However at that moment, the young man in front of him suddenly stopped.

"Ah ..." The Fairy Doctor failed to react in time and gently tapped on Xiao Yan's back.

That intimate encounter caused the Fairy Doctor to take a step back with an extremely red face as she timidly said, "What are you doing?"

The previous gentle contact also caused Xiao Yan to take a deep and heavy breath. He coughed as he pointed towards the stone door where a faint yellow light was emitted and helplessly said, "It's a dead end."

Hearing this, the Fairy Doctor clenched her eyebrows together and took two steps forward. Facing the door, he said in a deep voice, "Behind the stone door that should be our goal. If the ancient elder had built a cave here, I don't think that he would have created a cave that leads nowhere. "

Xiao Yan stepped forward and touched the stone door. After estimating his thickness, he slowly shook his head. "The stone door was extremely thick and required the strength of a Dou Shi to forcefully break it."

"All you know is how to use violence. Look at the yellow light emitted from the stone door; this was definitely an earth element trap technique. If you pay more attention to the details, it is not difficult to open them. " After giving Xiao Yan a look of disdain, the Fairy Doctor placed her thin hand on the stone door that began to move slowly.

"You know about the trap technique? If I remember it correctly, it is a very good wood or earth element in a Dou Zhe. " Looking at the serious face of the Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan could not help but be curious.

"Only have I read a few books on trap techniques. I cannot be considered competent but it should not be a problem if I use it to investigate. " The Fairy Doctor carelessly replied as her hand movements remained as graceful as ever.

Xiao Yan nodded his head but did not disturb his observation. His gaze shifted from the stone door and used a dim light, measuring the surrounding stone walls.

On the stone wall there were some faint carvings. They became blurry but Xiao Yan could see some human forms that were likely left behind by the cave owner.

"Finded him!!" As Xiao Yan was studying the stone wall, the happy voice of the Fairy Doctor pushed him to avert his gaze.

Beside the stone wall, the Fairy Doctor had already crouched down; her thin hands touched the small point protruding on the stone wall. As he pressed down on it, a creaking sound slowly echoed throughout the cave.

Watching the rising stone door, Xiao Yan heaved a sigh of relief and gave a thumbs up to the Fairy Doctor.

Following the towering stone door, a dim light radiated from behind him, casting out the darkness around them.

Looking at the bright interior behind the stone wall, the Fairy Doctor smiled but took two steps back. Then he faced Xiao Yan, raised his chin and smiled, "Please, come in."

Lifting his shoulders, Xiao Yan took out some stones and violently threw them into the cave. He felt a little reassured when he did not see any reaction.

"You're really a very careful person." Seeing that Xiao Yan did not forget to be careful even at this moment, the Fairy Doctor could only shake her head helplessly.

Thank you for your compliment. Smiling indifferently, Xiao Yan stepped carefully across the stone door and entered the interior.

Seeing that Xiao Yan had stepped forward, the Fairy Doctor followed behind.

As he stepped into the interior of the cave, their range of vision suddenly widened.

Behind the stone door was a large room that looked simple and empty. Mounted on the wall is Moon Stone which is used as a light source. In the middle of the room was a chair with a skeleton with a fallen skull placed on top of his thigh bone. This scene, when viewed from this silent atmosphere, seemed quite terrifying.

In front of the chair was a wide and long black stone table. Three locked stone containers were neatly placed on top of it.

Moreover, there were a large number of sparkling gold coins and other precious items in the other three corners. Just by the number of gold coins, the total wealth in this room was more than hundreds of thousands.

Valuables and money were not something that Xiao Yan did not possess and from the way these precious items were placed randomly, it seemed that the owner did not uphold them either.

Xiao Yan shifted his gaze from the shiny gold, moving it to the last corner of the room instead. Happiness appeared on his face as he did so.

The last corner of the room was a flower bed made by piling the ground into one. Inside it grew many different flowers and plants that enveloped the flower bed with fragrances.

While staring at this plant, Xiao Yan and the Fairy Doctor rushed forward together. Ordinary people might not recognize this plant but they knew very well that this seemingly ordinary plant was worth more than the pile of gold in the room.

Fairy Doctor stared blankly at the small flower bed. One by one, the names of rare and expensive medicinal ingredients quietly came out from his red and moist mouth.

"Ice Spirit Blazing Grass!"

As he swept his gaze across the flower bed, Xiao Yan suddenly retracted his gaze and stared intently at the center of the flowerbed where the red and white grass grew.

The leaves of this grass are separated into two colors. Its trunk, which was white, was also covered with droplets of what looked like ice crystals while its reddish tip was like a burning fireball. Two opposing colors and elements have miraculously grown in the plant.

A thin mist surrounded this plant, making it seem like it was floating among the clouds.

This strange grass is named ‘Ice Spirit Blazing Grass’, an extremely rare material that is also a necessary ingredient for ‘Blood Lotus Pill’.

Xiao Yan excitedly stared at the medicinal grass as a restless expression appeared on his face. Two of the medicinal ingredients he found were no news despite having searched the entire Wu Tan City for six months had ended up in his hands not long after starting his journey. This unexpected advantage was something that filled Xiao Yan's heart with happiness.

"Do you recognize this too?" Seeing how Xiao Yan was excitedly staring at the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass, the Fairy Doctor asked in a surprised voice.

"Pulse. This is something I need. " Xiao Yan nodded his head before tilting to look at the Fairy Doctor.

"What a dislike. Choose the most valuable. " Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Fairy Doctor immediately raised her eyebrows and muttered reluctantly.

Smiling embarrassedly, Xiao Yan waved his hand, "Sorry but I really need it. I've been looking for him long enough. "

Seeing that the Fairy Doctor still looked depressed, Xiao Yan could only say helplessly, "Why don't we do it like this. I will take the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass. As for the rest of the herbs here, you will take two-thirds and I will take the remaining one-third. "

Hearing Xiao Yan's suggestion, the Fairy Doctor nodded her head, the color of her face looking a little better.

Xiao Yan sighed when he saw the Fairy Doctor nodding her head. Without worrying about arousing suspicion, he extracted many exquisite jade bottles from his storage ring and jade shovel. He carefully dug up the ground around the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass and finally placed the plant, along with the ground into a jade bottle.

"Hu." Xiao Yan quickly stored the jade bottle into his storage ring before opening the corner of his mouth and smiling. After which, he handed the jade shovel to the Fairy Doctor who showed him to dig up the medicinal herbs.

The Fairy Doctor's eyes followed the Ice Spirit Blazing Grass as Xiao Yan stored it into his storage ring before reluctantly withdrawing his gaze. For someone like him who loved medicine, obtaining one extremely rare medicinal plant would make him much happier than earning hundreds of thousands of money or jewelry.

The Fairy Doctor sighed, feeling very upset inside. Had this man not accidentally discovered the secret on the cliff, all of this would have been his. But now dear, remembering this caused her to feel the urge to cry but her tears did not come out.

"You should just go and die, motherfucker."

After cursing, the Fairy Doctor received a shovel from Xiao Yan and began to carefully dig out the precious medicinal herbs from the flowerbed before putting them into the jade bottle.

After observing the Fairy Doctor digging up the medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan's gaze once again wandered throughout the room but he didn't see anything interesting. Finally, he returned his gaze to the three stone containers placed in the center of the room.

Xiao Yan slowly walked towards the front of the stone table and touched the metal lock. He felt a sense of warmth as his skin touched, causing him to frown. In order to maintain the warmth for a long time, the key would definitely not be made of ordinary metal. There was no point in trying to destroy it by force.

Where's the key? Xiao Yan muttered to himself as he scanned the surroundings. His eyes were immediately fixed on the skeleton sitting behind the stone table. When he lowered his gaze, his eyes brightened when he found three black keys hanging in his hands.

Rubbing his hand, Xiao Yan stepped forward and stared at the skeleton. Disdain filled his heart as he slowly let go of his fist before carefully grabbing the key and pulling it lightly.

"Crack ..." Because of the years that had passed, a small force managed to break the skeleton's arm, causing it to fall.

Looking at the broken skeleton hand, Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly before bowing to the remaining skeleton. Thereafter. Xiao Yan leaned over to pick up the broken arm, intending to replace it.

Xiao Yan's hand wrapped around the skeletal arm as his eyebrows suddenly shot up. He could sense that this bone burden was a little unnatural …

From the corner of his eyes, Xiao peered towards the Fairy Doctor who was carefully digging out the medicinal herbs before returning to the skeletal bones in her hands. His eyes scanned the broken part at the top only to find that there was a small scroll hidden within the bone gap. Observing the hidden scroll silently, Xiao Yan gulped his saliva as his finger involuntarily grabbed inside and quickly pulled it out before throwing it into his storage ring.

Only after the scroll was in his storage ring did Xiao Yan sigh in relief. He swept away the dust from the skeletal arm before placing it back into its original position,

Xiao Yan smirked, threw the key in his hand and slowly headed towards the three stone containers on the stone table.
