The light blue figure gazed at the Heartbreak Flower floating above her palm, pursing her lips slightly as she reached out and gently caressed it.

"Brother Dong Fan... you don't know, I specially cultivated this flower back in the day..."

The Heartbreak Flower emitted a faint blue glow that enveloped her entire body.

Her figure trembled slightly, her eyes filling with deep resentment, as if she had transformed into a sorrowful young woman, grieving for a bygone era.

"It really... infuriates me..."

"Hmph! Let me see... if you really are... my Brother Dongfang..."

"No more, no more, Doctor Mo! I've had diarrhea for many days now!"

In a certain dense forest, Wang Mu, with a pained expression, spoke to the gentle and beautiful woman in front of him, clad in a light blue dress.

"Hmph, that won't do. You silly boy, you promised me you'd help test my medicines."

The young beauty held up a medicine jar, eyeing the man tied to a tree with a sly smile. "This time it's the Hu Hu Strengthening Bone Pill. Taking it will enhance your Root Bone, so rest assured and eat it!"

With that, she lifted the medicine jar and fed its contents to him.

Wang Mu could only swallow it resentfully, his expression a mixture of bewilderment and confusion.

"Alright, make sure to come here on time next time! Otherwise..."

The young beauty gently stroked Wang Mu's cheek, giggling, "You know the consequences, right?"

Having said her piece, she left.

Wang Mu was speechless.

Several days later, Wang Mu returned to the dense forest. This time, however, the beautiful woman did not appear.

Phew... I don't have to eat those elixirs this time...

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Mu suddenly had a premonition.

[Travel: Medicine King Valley (!)]

Eh, what is this? Wang Mu paused. He seemingly couldn't remember anything, yet he sensed something in his mind.

Medicine King Valley? Isn't that her sect?

Could something have happened?

Wang Mu followed the path through the dense forest and arrived at Medicine King Valley. There, he found a group of black-robed individuals slaughtering indiscriminately within the valley.

The leading black-robed elder had taken the young beauty hostage and seemed to be interrogating her about something.

"Mo Xilan, hand over the Spring Dawn Divine Skill immediately!"

"Otherwise, your Medicine King Valley will be destroyed today!"

...

Wang Mu eavesdropped for a while. He learned that the Spring Dawn Divine Skill was a mysterious Cultivation Technique of Medicine King Valley. It was reputed to have the power to revive the dead and rejuvenate all things, as potent as the arrival of a spring dawn!

"Hmph..." Mo Xilan scoffed coldly and turned her head away, refusing to speak.

Seeing this, Wang Mu immediately intervened but was no match for the black-robed individuals. At a critical moment, Wang Mu quickly said,

"That Spring Dawn Divine Skill is with me. This Divine Skill is passed down only to men, not women. Let her go; she doesn't know this Divine Skill. I'll go with you! I'll tell you!"

"Haha, boy, what's your relationship with Medicine King Valley?"

Wang Mu laughed. "This young beauty delivers medicine to me daily. Naturally, she is smitten with me. I tricked her out of Medicine King Valley's Divine Skill because I wanted to join the valley. What do you think my relationship with Medicine King Valley is? If you don't believe me, you can ask her directly."

"She's a Direct Disciple of Medicine King Valley. Even if you kill her, you won't be able to learn the Spring Dawn Divine Skill!"

The young beauty immediately looked at Wang Mu, her expression a mixture of shame and anger. She opened her mouth as if to speak but then said nothing, merely huffing coldly.

Seeing this, the black-robed elder believed him. "Alright!" He narrowed his eyes, grabbed Wang Mu, and released Mo Xilan.

Watching Wang Mu being taken away by the elder, Mo Xilan grew frantic and hurriedly cried out, "Wait, take me too! I only taught this fool the first part; he doesn't know the latter part of the Divine Skill. Just taking him is useless!"

Wang Mu was stunned. Is this young lady from Medicine King Valley a fool? She had already gotten away, why come back now…

"Interesting. Then both of you will come with me!"

The black-robed elder seized the two of them and headed straight for Miracle Medicine Peak.

"You two stay here and properly impart the Spring Dawn Divine Skill to me. Otherwise, you will surely die!"

On Miracle Medicine Peak, while the black-robed elder was cultivating, the two waited for an opportunity and discussed quietly.

"You had clearly gotten away. Why on earth did you come back…" Wang Mu said, looking at Mo Xilan helplessly.

"You don't really know the Spring Dawn Divine Skill…" Mo Xilan huffed. "When he finds out he can't get it from you, you'll die on the road sooner or later. Then he'll just kill his way back here… You stupid boy, this is a Medicine King Valley matter. Why are you getting involved?"

"Miss Lan, those elixirs you gave me… although taking them was painful, they truly brought significant improvement…" Wang Mu said helplessly. "I couldn't just stand by and watch you all get into trouble, could I?"

"Heehee… you really are a silly boy…"

"Silly boy, do you want to learn the Divine Skill?"

"What Divine Skill?"

"Nonsense! Of course, it's the Spring Dawn Divine Skill! I'll teach you… Hush…"

Mo Xilan imparted the Cultivation Technique to Wang Mu.

He sensed it: [Cultivation: Spring Dawn Divine Skill (+)]

He quickly began to cultivate.

In just half a day, a continuous stream of mysterious inner breath began to flow within him.

"Silly boy, I never thought you'd be a martial arts genius…" Mo Xilan remarked, somewhat stunned.

"Not really… I was just practicing casually…" Wang Mu grinned sheepishly. "But I feel this Cultivation Technique is quite interesting… Miss Lan, I've thought of a way for us to escape…"

"What way…"

"Later, I'll pass this Divine Skill to that old man, and you cover for me… like this, and this, and then like this…"

"Alright…"

A few days later, Wang Mu imparted the Spring Dawn Divine Skill to the elder.

Initially, the elder's cultivation progressed smoothly. However, as he continued, his face turned a ghastly black, and his body became enveloped in an aura of death. Within half a day, he succumbed.
