In fact, she was indifferent to Lin Yifan's death; it was only the life and death of An Qi that concerned her.

Lin Yanping never expected her Master to say such words. She had thought that her Master wanted them to protect Lin Yifan because he was important to her, but it turned out not to be the case.

At that time, she became more and more curious about who Lin Yifan's girlfriend was and why her Master cared about her so much.

Therefore, she visited An Qi in the hospital under a different identity and found that An Qi indeed looked very beautiful; truth be told, for a moment, she felt lost and jealous, and she had a strong urge to scratch An Qi's face or to kill her outright.

However, she eventually forbore; now that Lin Yifan was dead, such actions would be meaningless. She might as well do some good deeds to increase her own longevity instead.

The landlady grandma didn't tell Zhou Jiajia and the others about Lin Yifan's death, to spare them the unbearable grief.

Over these days, she had gotten along quite well with these women and had developed some affection for them; therefore, both emotionally and rationally, she didn't want to see them washing their faces with tears every day.

When Zhou Jiajia and the others learned that Lin Yifan was still in the Jiminy Primitive Forest searching for the millennium Blood Ginseng, they couldn't help but worry about him.

That's because anything could be found in the primitive forest, and it was far too dangerous for Lin Yifan and his three companions to be there.

Why talk about three people? Because the landlady grandma only mentioned that one of her disciples had brought back a hundred-year Lingzhi, and the other three had not returned.

Zhou Jiajia and the others were kept in the dark, totally unaware, and they still naively thought that Lin Yifan was still alive. In fact, Lin Yifan was indeed alive.

The landlady grandma decided to go to the Jiminy Primitive Forest personally to look for the millennium Blood Ginseng.

Without the millennium Blood Ginseng, it was certain An Qi could not be saved; that's because she couldn't find the Bright True Master, the old man, and thus couldn't get the life-saving Elixir.

Now that An Qi had drunk the hundred-year Lingzhi soup, her life could be extended by several months, and she would be fine in the short term; thus, the landlady grandma arranged for Li Dafeng and the others to guard An Qi at the hospital, while she went to the Misty Forest in the Jiminy Primitive Forest to see the true face of the Endless Abyss and to search for the millennium Blood Ginseng that had fallen down with Lin Yifan.

A few days later, when she arrived at the Endless Abyss, she found it indeed terrifyingly high, at least she dared not jump straight down.

Therefore, she bought long ropes, continuously spliced them together, and finally assembled a rope that was tens of thousands of meters long.

She tied one end of the tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long-rope to a large tree at the edge of the cliff and then threw the rest of the rope into the abyss.

Finally, she grasped the rope and using her Qinggong, she slowly descended.

If it were an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn't be able to overcome gravity, nor the heat generated by the friction between their palms and the rope; but Cultivators were different; they possessed supernatural strength to surmount challenges ordinary people could not.

When the landlady grandma reached the end of this tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long rope, she found that she still hadn't reached the bottom.

So, she let go of the rope and let herself freely fall.

It was only after descending several thousand meters that she arrived at the bottom of the Endless Abyss.

At that time, everything around her was pitch dark, and she could not see anything. Moreover, she found a small river at the bottom of the Endless Abyss.

This river was different from other rivers; it flowed with hot water, around fifty degrees Celsius; thus, it was very hot at the bottom of the Endless Abyss, like being in a sauna room. An ordinary person would not last long here before being cooked to death.

The hot water of the small river continuously turned into steam, drifting upwards; this was the source of the fog in the Misty Forest.

The landlady grandma conjured a torch from thin air, illuminating the space around her.

For a cultivator of her realm, making fire was as simple as lifting a finger, a trivial task.

Walking along the creek, she found many decaying bodies, which were the cultivators who had fallen into the endless abyss and died in recent days.

Besides, she saw numerous skeletons, both human and animal; evidently, there had been others before, who, along with ferocious beasts, had also plummeted into the abyss.

Her primary purpose for descending this time was the search for thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, so she kept sifting through those rotting corpses to see whether any of them was Lin Yifan's body.

However, after much searching, she did not find Lin Yifan's body. It was as if his body had vanished into thin air, not here at all.

"Impossible? Could it have been swept away by the river? Or is it caught on the trees clinging to the cliffside?"

With these questions, she first scanned the trees and bushes growing on the cliffs on either side of the endless abyss, looking for any sign of Lin Yifan.

As she moved forward, after a while, she spotted something in a small tree growing in a crevice of a cliff ten meters from the bottom of the abyss.

She discovered a modern backpack, seemingly the one that Lin Yifan had been carrying before setting off.

By now, the backpack was in tatters, stained with plenty of blood; she wasn't sure if it was indeed the one Lin Yifan had carried.

So, with her doubts, she flew up and retrieved the backpack. After careful identification, she confirmed that this battered backpack was indeed the one Lin Yifan had worn before his departure.

Though the straps of the backpack were broken, and its surface was slightly torn, it wasn't completely ruined. Most crucially, all the chains on the backpack were fastened, so nothing inside had spilled out.

The backpack was heavy, leading the old landlady to feel that the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng might still be inside. With an excited heart, she carefully opened the backpack to see for herself.

First, she felt some clothes, and then she came across some papers.

These papers contained evidence of the crimes committed by a munitions organization and proofs of the crimes of its accomplices, which Lin Yifan had intended to hand over to General Bag upon finding the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng. Now, it seemed, there was no need for that.

After removing these items, the old landlady continued her search through the bag.

She quickly found some spirit stones and a few fruits.

These items were of no use to her, so she discarded them without a second thought.

Continuing her search through the backpack, she soon stumbled upon another item.

Feeling it, she was overjoyed, thinking it was the very object of her long and arduous journey, the thing she had traveled miles and braved many difficulties to find.

So, with a heart full of excitement, she carefully took it out.

But as soon as she laid her eyes on it, the joy on her face instantly faded, and then she flew into a great rage.

"Damn it! Where the hell did you put the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng?"

The old landlady was frantic because what she had found was a Channeling Herb.

When she felt the herb's leaves and roots in the backpack, she thought she had found her sought-after thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng; but upon closer inspection, it was a different herbal material. At that moment, she was on the verge of exploding with anger.

Now, the joyful feeling vanished without a trace, replaced by fury.
