Yu Su said, “Let’s eat first.” After lunch, the few of them prepared to take a break for a while before going up the mountain in the afternoon.

At three o’clock, Mo Ting rushed over and cupped his hands at them before looking at Yu Su. “Miss Yu, have you already found a way to break the curse?”

“Whether I have or not, I need to speak with the Great Elder,” Yu Su replied, sipping her tea with a confident smile.

Mo Ting hesitated and looked at Yu Su. “If you haven’t found a solution, and you disturb the Elder’s cultivation, I won’t be able to protect you. You might not know this, but the Great Elder has a very bad temper.”

“Go ahead and ask. I want to see the Great Elder tomorrow morning,” Yu Su said confidently, tilting her chin.

Mo Ting nodded. “Okay.” With that, he left.

Yu Su dismissed the others and looked at the remaining four. “Do you have any new discoveries?”

Lu Feng scratched his head. “Mount Zhongnan is truly complex. The Second Elder must be a very formidable person. Wang Luo is too afraid of him.”

Leng Yan nodded. “This place definitely isn’t simple. In all my years at the Metaphysics Management Office, I’ve never heard of demonic energy. I think we should dig deeper into this.”

Demonic energy and the Demon’s Lair. These two things sounded ominous. The Sacred Blood was someone imprisoned in the back mountain.

Wen Chuan looked worried. “The back mountain is shrouded in dark energy. We can’t just barge in. And what’s more concerning is that there’s a lot of dark energy on Mount Zhongnan. Some people here must have already been tainted by demonic energy but have hidden it very well.”

So they had to be extra careful. If they weren’t, they could be attacked from both sides.

In the afternoon, the few of them walked around the mountain again, but they still did not find much news.

Late at night, Yu Su put on night clothes and climbed out of her window, heading towards a courtyard in Mount Zhongnan.

She had applied an invisibility spell, so even if she encountered anyone on the way, she wasn’t too worried.

The moon was high in the sky, and the night was deep. The sound of unknown insects filled the air, creating a quiet atmosphere. There was no one else around.

Yu Su followed the route to the alchemy room. She found a low wall, jumped up, and stood on top, looking into the courtyard. A light was still on in one of the rooms.

On the window of the room, she saw several figures moving. Yu Su jumped over and landed on the roof of that room. She lifted a tile and looked down. The moment she saw what was inside, her eyes widened in disbelief.

The room was filled with blood. There were dismembered animal corpses scattered everywhere, like meat in a slaughterhouse. Blood was flowing on the floor. It was the corpse of the unicorn.

As she looked further inside, she saw a corpse on a bed. The corpse was pale, and the person had clearly been dead for a long time. Yu Su felt like she had seen this person before.

It was him! She remembered. This person was one of the merchants who had come with them to the mountain. His leg had been broken by the unicorn, and he had requested to leave the mountain for treatment. But here he was, in the alchemy room. His abdomen had been opened, revealing his internal organs.

There were two people moving around in the room. Both were dressed in Daoist robes, their heads shaved, and they looked about seventy percent similar to Kong Chen. They were holding medical instruments, and their robes were already stained with blood.

One of them had a strange voice, like a duck. “This guy’s death was worthwhile. If it weren’t for the recent shortage of hearts, I wouldn’t have used a heart filled with such cunningness.”

“Stop talking. Hurry up and dig. We still have to refine medicine later.” The other person’s voice was very soft. He looked very thin, but his movements were very fast. He pried open the corpse’s stomach and took out a lump of meat.

It was a heart. He placed the heart in a special container and then went to a workbench-like structure, where he put the heart into a grinder and began to grind it.

After that, the two of them did not speak again. Instead, they focused on making the pills. From time to time, the pills would be mixed with some unicorn blood and meat. Yu Su watched them do it for more than half an hour before the medicinal paste was done.

At the last step, the thin bald man opened a secret door and walked in. He took out a tube of reagent. It was blue and looked very beautiful. After the reagent was put into the medicinal paste, the two of them rubbed the pills one by one and placed them into the bottle. This was considered completed.

Until the end, Yu Su did not hear any conversation between the two of them. When the two of them were not paying attention, she took out a pill from the table with her vines and placed it in the box she carried with her. Only then did she put the tile back and return to her room.
