When she hoisted up Su Luo's corpse, an ice-cold, cruel smile could be seen at the corner of Su Luo's mouth.
She twisted her body around and grabbed onto Nen Lu's sleeves, placing her entire weight on Nen Lu's shoulders. Her body was hanging upside down, with her head facing the ground. That broken dagger ruthlessly stabbed towards Nen Lu's heart from her back!
"Ahhhh——" Nen Lu let out a wretched scream, the fury in her heart was at its peak. She endured the intense pain and used all her strength to throw Su Luo off the cliff.
However, Su Luo was stuck to her body like Niupi candy (1). No matter what she did, she couldn't threw Su Luo off.
At the same time, Su Luo unceasingly stabbed her with the dagger.
In less than a second, countless numbers of lacerations appeared on Nen Lu's body.
However, Nen Lu wouldn't let Su Luo have an easy time of it either. She finally sent a heavy palm strike towards Su Luo.
The pit of Su Luo's stomach was hit by that palm. Su Luo only felt a metallic sweetness in her throat, and then a huge stream of blood wildly sprayed out.
At this moment, both of them were at the edge of the cliff. The bitingly cold wind screamed through the mountains, blowing on the two bruised and battered people, who were on the verge of collapse.
The sound of Nen Lu's grim laugh echoed, as she sent one foot kicking towards Su Luo.
This kick contained all of her strength. She had already calculated that this kick was enough to send Su Luo down the cliff, as a way to destroy the body while erasing all the evidence.
However, just at this critical juncture, Su Luo grabbed onto and tightly hugged Nen Lu's leg which was kicking her.
Because of the effect of gravity, both of them fell off the cliff.
While they were falling, Su Luo used her strength to keep pulling and twisting, until she was on top, while Nen Lu was beneath her.
Nen Lu was so angry that she wanted to do the same by imitating Su Luo's actions, but Su Luo's foot heavily kicked her downwards.
Nen Lu's heart was so enraged that she swore, if there was a next life, she would definitely dismember Su Luo's body and chop it into ten thousand pieces!
But there wasn't enough time for her to think much more. Now, the two of them had already dropped close to the bottom of the abyss.
"Splash——"Both of them fell into the water, the deafening sound of water being displaced resounded, like being shot out of a geyser, water flew high into the sky. At that moment, both of them completely lost consciousness.
Both of their bodies were brutally pulled by the current of the creek, continuously colliding with obstructions in the water. Nobody knew where this water flowed to.
Unaware of how much time had passed, Su Luo's eyelashes, which were thin as a cicada's wing, trembled slightly. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw a rock above her head.
She now discovered that the illuminations in all directions were very dim, and that she had been washed ashore by the creek water.
Su Luo found that her entire body was in pain. It was so agonizing, that it was as if her body had been torn into tiny little pieces. The pain was so great that she was almost numb.
Su Luo fetched a handful of water from within her space, and with much difficulty, she drank it. After a long while, she was slowly able to recover.
She staggeringly stood up, and suspiciously took measure of her surroundings.
This place was a crescent-shaped cave.
A cave that had been abandoned for many years.
Su Luo was so weak that she could barely stand, but she clenched her teeth and stood up. She swayingly staggered towards the inside of the cave.
She supported herself using the cave's wall. With great strain, she walked more than a hundred meters into the cave, yet she still hadn't reached the end.
This strip of dark tunnel was pitch-black and gloomy, as if leading to a borderless underworld. Everything was covered in darkness.
However, without knowing why, it seemed as if a mysterious power was beckoning to her. It continuously coaxed her to continue walking deeper inside.
She roughly walked about another three hundred meters. Su Luo kept breathing in mouthfuls of cold air. Where did this tunnel actual lead to? Could it be that there was no end to this path?
She really didn't believe it.
Su Luo's competitive heart was aroused. She dragged her exhausted body, step by step shuffling further into the cave. She walked a full thousand meters, when all of a sudden, her sharp ears heard the sound from the bubbling water of a creek.
When Su Luo walked to the place where the sound was coming from, her eyes couldn't help but open wide, scanning the scene in front of her.
At this moment, she thought her own eyes were seeing things.
The dark tunnel ended in an unexpectedly large, circular space, which was no less than the size of a basketball court. This empty space appear to be very spacious.
At the center of this place was a purple furnace shaped standing cauldron (2). Workbenches formed a circle surrounding the cauldron. Some crystal stones and medicinal herbs were sparsely arranged on the workbenches.
Not far from the workbenches, there was a bookshelf with a few books randomly placed on the shelves.
However, this was not the cause of Su Luo's astonishment. What amazed her was that there were about seven to eight corpses lying in various positions surrounding the workbench. Every corpse was air-dried and withered, as if the owner had passed away a long time ago.
It was very clear that these people had been in a very intense fight.
Su Luo was in the midst of frowning when suddenly, she sensed danger behind her. Su Luo immediately dropped and rolled on the ground to dodge.
"Didn't know that your survival skills were so great. Even the fall couldn't kill you!" Nen Lu said as she leaned on the corner wall for support. Her face displayed a duplicitous and furtive smile, full of strong killing intent.
In the beginning, Nen Lu was only following orders to kill Su Luo when she attacked the other. However, at this moment, Nen Lu was itching to dismember Su Luo into ten thousand tiny pieces for her own benefit.
"Aren't you also still alive?" Su Luo's smile was as light as a cloud and gentle like the wind. Nevertheless, a trace of apprehension appeared in her heart.
The opponent was a third ranked martial artist, while she herself had no spiritual strength. They were both injured, but by observing Nen Lu's attack a moment ago, Su Luo realized that Nen Lu's injuries were much lighter than hers.
Nen Lu was about to seize this opportunity to kill Su Luo when suddenly, her line of sight turned towards the interior of the room.
With just this one look, she was so amazed that her mouth fell open. Then, an ecstatic expression appeared on her face.
Nen Lu quickly walked into the room, full of excitement and with an incredulous expression.that looked at everything inside. She kept mumbling to herself. "This. This can't be real, right? Could it actually be Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron? Is it really Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron?"
"What is a Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron?" Su Luo asked, full of curiosity.
At this time, Nen Lu already viewed Su Luo as a dead person, so she felt no need to conceal anything from her. Right now, Nen Lu really needed to let out the ecstasy in her heart or else she would go mad from holding it in.
"I told you you were a good-for-nothing but you refuse to accept it. You haven't even heard of Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron. Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron is a top-notch divine artifact pursued by all the Apothecaries in the world. If they use this medicinal cauldron to refine medicine, then the rate of success will increase by a hundredfold! Never mind, talking to you is simply like playing a lute to a cow (1). You don't even know what an Apothecary is, right?"
Confronted by Nen Lu's belittling expression, Su Luo coldly laughed in her heart. Sorry to embarrass you, but this great one actually has a wood-fire dual system and was preparing to level up as an Apothecary.
At this moment, Nen Lu looked at Zi Huo's medicinal cauldron in wonder. Her sword was emitting mysterious rays of light as she murmured to herself. "It was said that during that time, Elder Zi Huo went into seclusion. Could it be that he finally died here?"
"Elder Zi Huo?" Su Luo again asked, "Who is he?"
Nen Lu rolled her eyes. "You haven't even heard of Elder Zi Huo? This renowned Elder was the world's only Grandmaster level Apothecary. Do you know how many famous families and noble clans under the heavens wanted to curry favor with this renowned Elder? Yet you have actually never heard of this Elder Zi Huo. Your stupidity can't be cured. I really have nothing more to say to you."
Su Luo knew that the continent's Apothecaries were divided into levels: Elementary Apothecary, Intermediate Apothecary, Advanced Apothecary, Elite Apothecary, as well as Grandmaster Apothecary.
It was extremely difficult to advance to the next Apothecary level.
However, Apothecaries were rare, thus making every Apothecary extremely precious.
Su Manor's Apothecary was only an Elementary Apothecary, but due to his existence, he was able to ensure that Su Manor did not topple for the past few decades.
She never expected that the Elder Zi Huo was the legendary rumored Grandmaster Apothecary. It was indeed hard to imagine.
"Wow!" Nen Lu, who was lingering in front of the bookshelf ahead, suddenly loudly shrieked, "Primeval pill recipes! Unexpectedly, "Obscure Pill Recipes"(2) is also here! Oh heavens! Jackpot, I really hit the jackpot!"
"Obscure Pill Recipes" was Elder Zi Huo's personal notes. It was a written record of his life's knowledge and experience regarding medicinal recipes. Inside, it also had a lot of primeval pill recipes which had not been passed on and were thought to be lost for eternity.
