Su Mu methodically placed each item into his satchel, every piece carefully selected and organized.
Once everything was ready, he took a deep breath, as if to draw in all his determination and courage.
He was about to embark on a journey filled with the unknown and challenges—to seek the invaluable Sunfire Grass.
Before he set off, Su Mu once again pulled out the mysterious jade pendant from his pocket.
This pendant was the only clue left to him by the enigmatic old man; perhaps it held the key to unraveling the mystery.
He gently traced the complex and ancient patterns on its surface, which resembled a labyrinth, perplexing yet seemingly containing some unknown significance.
With a hint of anticipation, Su Mu held the pendant up to the sunlight, allowing the warm rays to penetrate its depths.
At that moment, a miracle occurred! The interior of the pendant faintly revealed a few tiny characters. He widened his eyes and leaned in closer to decipher them.
The characters seemed like secrets buried deep in the dust of time, elusive and hard to grasp.
After some effort, Su Mu finally made out the words—“Heavenly Secrets Su Family.”
These four words struck his heart like a bolt of lightning, causing him to mutter, “Heavenly Secrets Su Family…” Instantly, a storm of emotions surged within him.
A bold hypothesis emerged: could it be that this mysterious old man was truly a long-lost relative?
As he thought about this, Su Mu couldn't help but recall the legend that had been passed down through his family—a story about a miraculous tome known as the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex."
It was said that this codex contained unimaginable medical knowledge and secrets. If one could obtain it and master its essence, they could save countless lives.
Could this recent adventure mean that the legacy of the "Heavenly Secrets Su Family" was intricately connected to it?
Once this thought took root, it grew wildly in Su Mu's mind like a stubborn weed, making him eager to uncover the truth behind it.
With a sense of urgency, Su Mu took the heavy "Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex" from the shelf, quickly flipping through its pages. His eyes scanned each line of text with anticipation as he silently prayed to find any clues related to the "Heavenly Secrets Su Family."
However, to his disappointment, the codex contained very little information about his family. There were only a few brief lines describing that the "Heavenly Secrets Su Family" had long taken it upon themselves to practice medicine for the benefit of others. They not only possessed profound knowledge of traditional medicine but also excelled in using mystical divination techniques to alleviate people's troubles.
Moreover, this family bore a crucial mission—to protect the mysterious and precious "Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex."
Faced with such limited information, Su Mu did not easily give up. He meticulously pondered over the sparse records in the codex, repeatedly analyzing them and cross-referencing them with the clues provided by the enigmatic elder he had encountered earlier.
After much contemplation, he resolutely set off on a journey to trace the footsteps of the "Heavenly Secrets Su Family."
Along the way, Su Mu tirelessly traveled from place to place.
Whether in bustling cities or remote villages, his relentless pursuit left its mark everywhere.
He tirelessly moved between various libraries and archives, immersing himself in piles of ancient texts, all in hopes of unearthing more stories about the "Heavenly Secrets Su Family."
Hard work pays off. After countless efforts and searches, Su Mu finally found the long-awaited key clue in an old, yellowed county record. The record clearly stated that the "Heavenly Mechanism Su family" once settled in a remote and tranquil mountain village.
For reasons unknown, this entire family suddenly decided to relocate one day, disappearing from the world's sight as if they had evaporated.
Even more exciting was that the county record detailed the specific name of that mountain village—"Heavenly Mechanism Valley."
Su Mu immediately searched for the location of "Heavenly Mechanism Valley" on the map and discovered it was nestled among towering mountains, with inconvenient transportation and few visitors.
This might be the reason why the "Heavenly Mechanism Su family" chose to live in seclusion.
Su Mu felt a surge of excitement in his heart; he knew he was getting closer to the truth.
He decided to set off immediately for Heavenly Mechanism Valley, to search for his family, unravel the mystery of the jade pendant, and uncover the secrets behind the "Heavenly Mechanism Medical Compendium."
