"So we've entered an illusory formation?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"Yes. Follow me closely and don't make a single misstep," Mo Xuanye's voice told Feng Yuqin that this illusory formation should pose no great challenge to him.
Soon, Feng Yuqin was amazed by his proficiency in formations.
The moment they stepped out of the illusory formation, Feng Yuqin felt it. "Are we out already?"
"Master, it's thanks to your man. Otherwise, it might have taken you some time to get out," Xiao Ying said.
What did she mean by "her man"? Feng Yuqin was speechless.
"Yes. Let's move forward. If there are only formations inside, it shouldn't be too difficult. I sense a barrier," Mo Xuanye said. He hadn't probed the illusory formation earlier because he wanted to check if there was a barrier around.
Sure enough, he detected it while breaking the formation.
So the danger he'd sensed earlier came from the barrier.
Soon, they reached a cliff. Looking down, it seemed bottomless.
"Hey, is this a dead end?" Feng Yuqin wondered aloud.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a powerful suction force from below the cliff pulling her down.
Instinctively, she reached out to grab something. She managed to catch Mo Xuanye's sleeve, but quickly let go.
Mo Xuanye was detecting the situation on the other side. He felt a tug on his sleeve and thought Feng Yuqin wanted to tell him something. But when he turned around, he saw Feng Yuqin falling off the cliff.
His pupils constricted. Without hesitation, he leaped off the cliff.
Feng Yuqin was facing upward, so she witnessed Mo Xuanye's every move.
Seeing him jump without hesitation, her eyes widened in shock.
Xiao Ying and Xiaojin were also taken aback by Mo Xuanye's leap.
A flash of panic crossed Mo Xuanye's eyes. He reached out to grab Feng Yuqin, but a force bounced him back to the cliff edge.
He wanted to attack the barrier, but was afraid of hurting Feng Yuqin. With red - rimmed eyes, he watched helplessly as Feng Yuqin kept falling.
Feng Yuqin looked deeply into his eyes, wanting to say something, but found she couldn't move or speak, as if her whole body was under control.
She tried several times to control her falling body, but it was in vain.
Even the speed of her fall remained constant.
Slowly, Mo Xuanye's panicked and anxious face disappeared from her sight.
Feng Yuqin fell another few dozen meters and landed hard on the ground.
Pfft... At the moment of landing, she felt as if her internal organs were about to be crushed out.
It hurt so much! Just as Xiaojin had said, she was injured.
"Master, quickly take the healing pill," Xiaojin said anxiously.
Lying on the ground, Feng Yuqin moved her fingers slightly and found she had no strength at all.
She used her mind to control the pill in Xiaojin's hand and swallowed it.
Xiao Ying and Xiaojin nervously watched her injury.
When they saw her injury gradually improving, they breathed a sigh of relief.
After the pill was fully absorbed by her body, half of her injury was healed.
Having been thrown so hard, Feng Yuqin covered her chest and stood up.
Thinking of Mo Xuanye's anxious look earlier, she looked up and saw a barrier blocking her view.
Even without the barrier, it was impossible for her to see Mo Xuanye on the cliff top from such a great height.
"Master, he's so powerful. He should be fine," Xiao Ying saw her looking up and knew she was worried about Mo Xuanye.
"I didn't expect him to jump down without hesitation just now," Feng Yuqin said, not sure how she felt at the moment.
In this life and the previous one, she'd never met someone who would risk everything for her.
Moreover, standing on the cliff top, one couldn't detect what was at the bottom, which meant the cliff was very deep. But he still jumped without hesitation.
This made her heart flutter.
"Master, a man like Mo Xuanye wouldn't do all these things if he didn't care about someone," Xiao Ying praised.
Xiaojin nodded. "I've met many powerful people before. They usually look down on others. But if Mo Xuanye didn't really like you, he wouldn't have followed you after being driven away."
"He's powerful and values you so much. Today he even jumped off the cliff with you without hesitation. Such a man is hard to find," Xiao Ying continued to encourage.
Feng Yuqin was deeply touched today, but she was a bit worried when she thought that she was no longer the original Feng Yuqin.
"Master, if you're worried, just ask him directly," Xiao Ying sensed her thoughts.
Feng Yuqin looked around. "It's hard to say if we can get out of here."
"There should be an exit," Xiao Ying said.
Although the surrounding was all cliff walls, they'd encountered an illusory formation and a barrier before, so it was possible that these were all illusions.
While looking for an exit, Feng Yuqin was worried about Mo Xuanye.
How many years had it been since she'd cared so much about someone?
"Master, there seems to be a cave ahead," Xiao Ying pointed forward.
Feng Yuqin walked towards the cave. When she stood at the entrance, she reached forward and clearly felt the barrier of the boundary.
"It's a barrier," Xiaojin and Xiao Ying said in unison.
Feng Yuqin nodded and stepped inside without any obstruction.
"There's a treasure," Xiaojin immediately said excitedly as soon as Feng Yuqin passed through the barrier.
"Is it the same as the one you sensed before?" Feng Yuqin asked.
Xiaojin nodded. "Yes, it's this feeling. After we encountered the illusory formation, the sense disappeared. I thought I wouldn't be able to sense it again, but unexpectedly, I can sense it now."
"Maybe the barrier was activated when we broke the illusory formation, so you couldn't sense it," Feng Yuqin guessed.
"It's possible," Xiaojin said.
Feng Yuqin walked deeper into the cave and found that the path gradually changed.
At first, it was just a normal cave passage. Slowly, some medicinal herbs began to appear on the walls.
The ground also seemed to have been simply repaired.
The further she walked, the flatter the path became and the more medicinal herbs there were on the walls.
She directly summoned her two beast pets to help collect the medicinal herbs.
"I never thought I'd encounter so many medicinal herbs," Feng Yuqin said happily.
"Yes, many of these medicinal herbs are not found outside. Some are found outside, but their years are different. Some of them are even over ten thousand years old. It's amazing," Xiao Ying said with a lingering fear.
"If these medicinal herbs were taken out, they'd probably be snatched," Xiaojin said excitedly.
Feng Yuqin was also very excited because she was very interested in medicine.
After she started making pills, she'd read all the pill - making books and the books about medicinal herbs in Xiaojin's space.
She found that many medicinal herbs that only existed in legends could be seen here.
