[Ding~ Welcome to the Sky Abyss world. Your current location is the second yer of Sky Abyss: Revival—Candlefire City!]

  Wow!

  A white light descended, and Lu Ming appeared in a bustling city.

  To be safe, even after changing locations, Lu Ming logged into Sky Abyss using his alternate account, [Dawn].

  After all, the influence of God Syer was widespread across the country, and it was likely that there were God Syer pyers in Anyang as well.

  However, as long as the ghostly creatures here hadn't revived, there wasn't much threat to Lu Ming.

  Before long, a white light descended again.

  Li Wan-ning appeared beside Lu Ming.

  "Nether brother, want some medicine?" Li Wan-ning asked as soon as she saw Lu Ming, handing over two dung-colored pills with a mischievous grin.

  Frowning at Li Wan-ning's cheeky smile, Lu Ming asked, "What are these? Kick-the-bucket pills?"

  "They're special pills made by the Li family!"

  Li Wan-ning chuckled, "One pill refreshes the mind, two pills keep you from fatigue, and three pills grant immortality!"

  "So, want to try one?"

  Lu Ming looked disgusted, "No, thanks..."

  "Suit yourself! These are precious level 10 pills, each worth hundreds of thousands!" As she spoke, Li Wan-ning swallowed one without hesitation.

  Hearing that such a dung-colored pill was worth so much, Lu Ming skeptically examined the other pill in her hand.

  Upon inspection, he realized it was indeed an extraordinary item!

  [Focus Pill] (Level 10)

  [Description: Consuming it increases Mana Points limit and Mana recovery effect by 100%, and reduces skill cost by 100%, sting 12 hours.]

  [Note: Effects of the same type of pill cannot be stacked.]

  Lu Ming knew.

  In the Sky Abyss world, there were various pills that could temporarily boost pyer attributes significantly, highly favored by pyers.

  They were essential for many studios, clubs, and raid teams when tackling a difficult dungeon or a powerful boss.

  They were also the first choice for many pyers to temporarily boost their strength in the Arena rankings.

  But due to the scarcity of ingredients, commonly found pills on the market were only level 2 or 3.

  Unexpectedly, the two pills Li Wan-ning casually took out were the top-tier level 10 pills that were hard to come by even for the elites in the Sky Abyss world!

  Lu Ming couldn't help but ask Li Wan-ning, "Where did you get these?"

  "Don't you know?" Li Wan-ning replied, "Our Li family is the top alchemy family in Great Xia! All level 5 and above pills in the entire Sky Abyss world are crafted by our family!"

  "Come, let me show you our family's most famous Medicine Hall!"

  With that, Li Wan-ning led Lu Ming out of the north gate of Candlefire City.

  Candlefire City, free from ghostly creature disturbances, was peaceful and harmonious.

  In the wild areas outside the city, many pyers were leisurely hunting monsters.

  If this were Starlight City, pyers would never dare venture outside at this time!

  Soon, Li Wan-ning brought Lu Ming to a vast, spiritually rich valley.

  Here, the green hills and clear waters resembled a paradise.

  Lu Ming saw: according to the map, this pce was named [Medicine King Valley] (Lv50)!

  Following Li Wan-ning into the valley.

  In the tranquil depths of the valley stood a magnificent golden hall!

  Made entirely of gold, its grandeur was beyond measure!

  The spiritual energy enveloping the entire valley emanated from this hall, as if it were the source of the energy!

  Even at dawn, hundreds of fully armed pyers were on high alert around the hall!

  All these pyers had reached the peak of the second yer: level 50, sixth transition, and their equipment was all golden sets!

  Each had a silver provincial emblem above their heads!

  Their strength was visibly extraordinary!

  And their IDs all began with the word [Glorious]!

  With Li Wan-ning's arrival, all the Glorious pyers shouted in unison, "Greetings, Miss!"

  "Thank you for your hard work!"

  Li Wan-ning responded to the Glorious pyers while introducing to Lu Ming, "This is the Medicine Hall. Our Li family became the top alchemy family because of the precious herbs produced beneath this hall!"

  "So, our family's strongest elite guards this pce, all with accounts rated at least four-star! Each one earns a monthly sary starting at a hundred thousand!"

  No wonder Li Wan-ning was naturally confident.

  Just as Lu Ming thought Li Wan-ning was simply showing off her family's foundation.

  Li Wan-ning led him inside the Medicine Hall.

  Inside, it resembled a rge processing pnt, with countless Li family employees working overnight to process and refine pills.

  Li Wan-ning guided Lu Ming through the processing area to a magic array.

  Whoosh!

  The moment they stepped into the array, a beam of golden light descended.

  In the next second, the two disappeared from their original spot.

  [Ding~ You have entered the first yer of Medicine King Valley!]

  As the system prompt fell.

  With a shift in vision, Lu Ming found himself in a tranquil valley filled with herbs!

  All around, besides the herbs, were mushroom-like monster creatures roaming about.

  Lu Ming was intrigued, "I didn't expect there to be a hidden map buried underneath!"

  "This is where the herbs are produced," Li Wan-ning expined, "Medicine King Valley is divided into ten yers. The higher the yer, the higher the chance of producing advanced herbs, but you must complete the clearance task to activate the corresponding yer's herb production."

  "Due to the significant strength difference of monsters on each yer, so far, our people have only reached the fifth yer, and the remaining five yers are too difficult to conquer... If we could clear the entire Medicine King Valley, we could craft even more advanced pills, benefiting the pyers of Great Xia!"

  When Li Wan-ning finished speaking, Lu Ming finally understood the real reason she brought him to the Medicine Hall!

  Or rather, why she invited him to Anyang!

  "So, when you said the mountains here are beautiful, the water is lovely, and the scenery is great, and that we should start anew here, you just wanted me to help your Li family clear Medicine King Valley, right?"

  With Lu Ming's straightforward question.

  Li Wan-ning suddenly clung to Lu Ming's arm, pleading coquettishly, "Nether brother, please help! All our Li family's four-star and even five-star experts have tried, but they can only reach the fifth yer."

  "You're so powerful, you can definitely clear the rest, please help me!"

  "You can also level up here, and no one but our Li family can enter this pce, so the God Syer people won't find you!"

  Li Wan-ning was naturally born to be a coquettish girl.

  She was beautiful with a sweet voice, and almost no man could resist her when she acted coy: "If you can help me clear Medicine King Valley, I'll agree to whatever you want, okay, Nether brother~ Please, I'm begging you!"

  Lu Ming weighed his options.

  "She does have a point, I can perfectly avoid God Syer here and level up to 50 without worry."

  "Moreover, if I agree to help her clear Medicine King Valley, I can increase her favorability towards me, which could help in collecting the power of love for the Scroll of Deification."

  With this in mind, Lu Ming said to Li Wan-ning, "Alright, I'll help you clear it."

  Li Wan-ning was delighted, "Really? Thank you, Nether brother!"

  At that moment, Lu Ming sensed a resonance from the Scroll of Deification in his backpack!

  Indicating that Li Wan-ning's favorability towards him was steadily rising!

  The first five yers of Medicine King Valley had already been cleared by the Li family.

  So, Lu Ming directly followed Li Wan-ning down to the sixth yer.

  Here, it was still surrounded by mountains and water, with birds singing and flowers blooming.

  And the monsters stationed here were level 50 Bamboo Demons—

  [Bamboo Demon] (Physical Type·Normal Monster)

  [Level: 50]

  [Physical Attack: 61250]

  [Armor: 36200]

  [Magic Resistance: 35000]

  [Speed: 33300]

  [Health Points: 1080000]

  [Skills: Bamboo Spike (E-level), Bamboo Ssh (E-level)]

  [Description: With the resurgence of spiritual energy, the bamboos residing in Medicine King Valley for years have transformed into demons. Killing them might yield precious herbs from their bodies...]

  "The attributes are equivalent to six times that of a normal level 50 monster?"

  Lu Ming pondered, "It seems the attribute increase of monsters in each yer of Medicine King Valley is exactly double!"

  At that moment, the system prompt fell—

  [Ding~ Please accumute 100,000 Bamboo Demon kills to clear the sixth yer! Current kill progress: 328!]

  "Let's begin!"

  Gazing at a Bamboo Demon ahead, Lu Ming reached behind him.

  Sword Draw—
