Su Mu and Ye Qiu leaned closer together, their eyes fixed intently on the black token as if they could see through its surface to uncover the secrets hidden within.
The token was entirely black, exuding a chilling aura. It was covered in dense, ancient, and mysterious runes, each line meticulously carved, brimming with artistry and enigma.
Ye Qiu extended his finger, gently touching the runes, feeling the power they contained.
He pointed to some peculiar shapes and indistinguishable patterns on the token and said softly, “These runes look like ancient codes; they seem to follow a special order and meaning.”
Beside him, Su Mu nodded slightly in agreement with Ye Qiu's observation.
She quickly pulled out a yellowed ancient book from her pocket—The Celestial Secrets of Medicine—and carefully opened a page.
The page was also filled with various ancient runes, accompanied by detailed interpretations.
“I believe these runes are likely secret codes specifically used by the Xuanming Sect to convey important information,” Su Mu murmured to herself as she picked up a pen and swiftly wrote down corresponding characters on a blank sheet of paper.
As time passed, the only sound in the room was the rustling of the pen gliding across the paper.
After several hours of relentless effort, beads of sweat appeared on both their foreheads, yet their gazes remained focused on their task.
Finally, when the last stroke was completed, Su Mu let out a long sigh of relief and leaned back wearily in her chair.
Ye Qiu eagerly grabbed the paper and began to read it carefully.
Before long, he looked up excitedly and exclaimed, “We did it! We’ve deciphered part of the content on the token!”
It mentioned an ancient altar located deep underground, said to conceal great secrets.
Moreover, there was a mysterious figure known as the 'Xuanming Lord...' At this point, Ye Qiu couldn't help but furrow his brows, falling into deep thought.
"This altar is very likely the core stronghold of the Xuanming Sect!" Ye Qiu pointed at a prominent mark on the map spread out before them, his expression serious as he spoke.
Beside him, Su Mu nodded slightly in agreement, his gaze fixed intently on the mark, his demeanor unusually grave. "Indeed, this place is situated deep underground, and its internal terrain must be intricate and ever-changing. We must make thorough preparations before taking action."
Upon hearing this, a resolute glint flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes as he replied firmly, "No matter what, even if there are numerous difficulties and dangers ahead, we must go!"
The next morning, just as dawn broke and the first light of day appeared, Su Mu and Ye Qiu were already packed and ready to go. With a mix of anxiety and anticipation in their hearts, they set off on the arduous journey to the mysterious underground altar.
Along the way, they traversed a vast and lush forest filled with dense foliage. The path beneath their feet was rugged and uneven, with thorns occasionally tugging at their clothes. Yet neither of them paused in their advance.
After a long trek, they finally arrived at the entrance of a very secluded cave.
The cave was completely concealed by the surrounding dense vegetation; if one did not know its exact location beforehand, it would be nearly impossible to discover its existence.
"This must be the place," Su Mu said quietly as he stood before the cave entrance, looking up at the massive stone door that was tightly shut.
"Are you ready?" Ye Qiu asked softly as he approached Su Mu.
Su Mu nodded vigorously in response. Taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart, he slowly extended his hands and pushed against the heavy stone door with all his might...
Beyond the stone door lay a dark and profound passageway shrouded in mystery.
This passage resembled a giant serpent winding through the depths of the earth, with no end in sight.
Faint light emanated from the walls, casting an eerie glow throughout the corridor.
At the far end of the passage, a low chant echoed softly.
The voice seemed to originate from ancient times, imbued with an indescribable magic that sent chills down one’s spine.
“Let’s go,” Su Mu said in a hushed tone. Her voice was steady and calm, as if she feared nothing of the unknown dangers that lay ahead.
Her companion nodded, and together they stepped cautiously into the mysterious and perilous corridor.
As they ventured deeper, the chanting grew louder, reverberating like distant thunder in their ears.
Finally, they reached the end of the passage.
Before them stood a grand underground altar.
The altar was constructed from countless massive stones, intricately carved with strange runes and patterns that radiated an ancient and powerful energy.
Atop the altar lay an old, yellowed tome.
This ancient book was enveloped in a faint glow, clearly indicating its extraordinary nature.
Without a doubt, it was the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex" that everyone had been desperately seeking.
However, surrounding the altar were a group of black-robed disciples from the Xuanming Sect.
These disciples wore expressionless faces, their eyes cold as frost, exuding an air of hostility.
They stood ready, weapons in hand, clearly prepared to confront any intruders.
In the center of the altar stood an old man cloaked in black robes.
His figure was hunched, and his face was as withered as an ancient tree weathered by a thousand years of storms.
Yet, his deep-set eyes glimmered with a chilling light, resembling two bottomless abysses capable of easily swallowing the world.
"Su Mu, Ye Qiu, you have finally arrived," the old man said, his slightly stooped figure exuding a terrifying aura.
His voice was hoarse, reminiscent of the sound made by a worn-out bellows being pulled, laced with an unmistakable chill as if it came from the depths of the underworld.
"Hmph, it's a pity that today marks your death. This place will become your burial ground!" The old man said with a sinister smile, his eyes flashing with cruelty and determination.
In the face of the old man's threatening words, Su Mu showed no fear. Her expression was as cold as frost as she questioned, "Are you the infamous leader of the Xuanming Sect?"
Hearing Su Mu's inquiry, the old man's lips curled into a disdainful smile as he replied slowly, "Indeed, it is I." He then shifted his tone and continued, "But do you truly believe that two mere children can stop my advance? What a foolish dream!"
Before his words had fully settled, he suddenly raised his right hand and swung it violently.
In an instant, a jet-black beam of light shot toward Su Mu and Ye Qiu like lightning.
The speed of this black light was astonishing, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind that howled incessantly.
However, Su Mu reacted swiftly. He immediately employed his expertise in divination, concentrating on calculating the trajectory of the black beam.
In the blink of an eye, he had grasped its path and unhesitatingly reached out to grab Ye Qiu beside him, swiftly dodging to the side.
The two moved with exceptional agility, narrowly avoiding the deadly black light.
At the same time, Su Mu shouted, "Power of Destiny, heed my command!" As his voice echoed, the book in his hand, "The Medical Compendium of Destiny," suddenly burst forth with an incredibly dazzling brilliance.
This light was radiant and blinding, like a blazing sun hanging in the sky, illuminating the surroundings as bright as day.
Seeing this scene unfold, the old man's expression instantly turned to one of utter shock.
Clearly, he had never anticipated that Su Mu would be a descendant of the Destiny lineage, possessing such formidable abilities.
Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, the old man failed to mount an effective defense in time.
As a result, the brilliant light struck him directly.
After being hit by the radiant force, the old man's body involuntarily staggered backward several steps.
He felt his blood surge in his chest, and a sweetness filled his throat as he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he managed to swallow back the blood that threatened to rise, steadying himself.
At this moment, his gaze towards Su Mu was filled with wariness.
"Now it's our turn!" Ye Qiu seized the opportunity and rushed towards the old man, delivering a powerful punch straight to his chest.
The old man raised his hand in a hurried attempt to block it, but Ye Qiu's strength was overwhelming, causing him to stagger back repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Su Mu took advantage of the moment to employ divination techniques, calculating the old man's weaknesses. The silver needles in his hand flew out once more, targeting the old man's vital points.
"Ah!" The old man let out a cry, staggering and falling to the ground.
"It's over," Su Mu said coldly.
The old man lay on the ground, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. He struggled to raise his hand, as if he still wanted to cast some spell, but ultimately it fell weakly to the side.
"We... won," Ye Qiu sighed in relief.
Su Mu nodded, tightening his grip on the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual.
He knew that the road ahead would be long, but he was ready.
"Let's go. There are many things waiting for us to accomplish," Su Mu said.
"Yeah, together," Ye Qiu replied with a smile.
The two walked side by side out of the underground altar, ready to face new adventures and challenges.
And the power of the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual would continue to protect the peace and justice of this world.
