It was like pressing an ear against the wall and hearing the movements in the next room.

When Lin Yifan's angry words were heard, the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng immediately quieted down, not daring to be reckless anymore.

Just now, Lin Yifan had thrown it into the water to soak, so it wouldn't question that Lin Yifan's statement was a joke.

Due to the disturbance caused by the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, a word suddenly popped into Lin Yifan's mind—"water!"

"Miss Xiaofang said she saved me by the riverside, which means I drifted here along the river. If I could come here, it means there must be a waterway leading to the bottom of the abyss."

"Water! Where does the water of Peach Blossom Valley actually come from?"

Lin Yifan finally realized this problem; he noticed that Peach Blossom Valley was surrounded by cliffs without any waterfalls, so where exactly did this stream's water emerge from?

In order to clear up this question and find another way out, he followed the riverbank upstream in search of the source of this open-air stream.

Soon, he found the source of the stream.

The stream emanated from a spring pool, which meant there was an underwater spring beneath it.

Having an underwater spring meant there was a waterway, having a waterway meant there was a water path, and having a water path meant there was a way to survive. This discovery brought a bit of joy to his desolate mood.

"I hope there's no Array at the spring."

After praying, he dived into the water of the spring pool.

In an instant, he felt all his fatigue vanish; because the water of the spring pool was hot.

"Truly amazing, the water is ice cold at the end, but boiling hot at the source, it's literally a world of ice and fire," Lin Yifan marveled.

After a slight shock, he dove into the water.

At this moment, the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng in the bundle started screaming again: "Ah!!! It's so hot! I'm burning up!"

"This damned thing couldn't have reneged, and thrown me into boiling water in a fit of anger, could he? Or was he boiling water just now to let me live a little longer?"

Whichever the case, it couldn't accept it; soon after, it started bouncing around energetically.

The water was so hot, it couldn't calm down this time.

"Yifan! Yifan! Don't soak me anymore! This little one knows his fault! Please, spare me! Spare me!"

"Yifan! I beg you! Please let me go! I will definitely willingly come with you and help revive your girlfriend!"

"Yifan! Please don't be so cruel! My essence blood can be reused, keep me and in the future, I'll be of great benefit to you! Really, please believe me!"

"Yifan! I don't want to die! I haven't lived enough yet!"

"Yifan! If you soak me, you won't be able to save your girlfriend! Think about your girlfriend's life, stay calm! You must stay calm!"

...

The thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng was now in its most frantic state, and it was really about to be scorched to death; in addition, the bundle was so tightly packed, it was almost suffocated by the heat.

Perhaps due to its resistance, struggles, apologies, and pleading, the hot water in its bundle soon leaked out, and the temperature inside the bundle quickly dropped.

"Whew! That scared me to death!" the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng exclaimed, sweating coldly.

"Yifan! I knew you were a devoted lover, I knew you wouldn't abandon your girlfriend."

In fact, Lin Yifan rose to the shore not because he heard its pleas, but because he encountered another Array.

An array had been placed over the spring, and Lin Yifan couldn't get through.

"Damn it! No more running!"

After cursing under his breath, Lin Yifan sat down on a rock by the river, raging continuously.

He had miscalculated, not expecting the Peach Blossom Valley Venerable to set up the array so quickly; no wonder she hadn't bothered with him despite the commotion, as she had already known he couldn't escape.

"Ah!" Sighing, Lin Yifan removed the pack from his shoulders and set it aside, then lay back on the rock, hands behind his head, gazing up at the starry sky.

"I wonder how An Qi is doing now!"

So much time had passed, and he really missed his family, longing to see them.

Endless yearnings, transmitted through the moon in the sky, reached Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing under the same starry expanse.

At this moment, Zhou Jiajia and Su Qingqing, standing shoulder to shoulder on a rooftop, looked up at the moon, missing Lin Yifan.

"Big sister! Do you think Yifan is missing us just like we're missing him?" Su Qingqing asked.

"Yifan loves us so much, I think he probably is," Zhou Jiajia said confidently.

"I think so too!" Su Qingqing responded cheerfully and then frowned with concern, "I wonder how Yifan is now. Has he lost weight, or has he gained weight?"

"I think he must have lost a lot of weight," Zhou Jiajia sighed in response.

Given An Qi's condition, Lin Yifan must be very worried; when one is worried, it's easy to lose one's appetite; and when one loses their appetite, it's easy to lose weight; so she believed Lin Yifan had lost weight.

Su Qingqing understood this and, relaxing her frown, looked to the future with hope, "I hope Yifan can bring back the millennium-old Blood Ginseng and revive Sister An Qi. Then the four of us can live happily together."

"Let's hope everything goes smoothly!" Zhou Jiajia responded apprehensively.

She had a vague feeling that Lin Yifan's return might bring them bad news.

Elsewhere in the Peach Blossom Valley, Xiao Fang was hiding in the shadows, gazing at Lin Yifan, who lay on the rock.

Truth be told, she found it hard to sleep tonight, as she missed Lin Yifan so much; hence, the moment Lin Yifan stepped out of his room, she noticed.

She had been following him quietly, wanting to see what Lin Yifan was up to.

When she saw Lin Yifan running towards the Medicinal Fields to snatch the millennium-old Blood Ginseng, she realized that in Lin Yifan's heart, she held no place.

If that was the case, she might as well let go and allow her master to accept this rare genius, allowing Lin Yifan to peacefully take the millennium-old Blood Ginseng to revive his girlfriend.

"Leaving might be for the best! At least I can return to my peaceful life; let all of this just drift away with the wind."

Having made up her mind, she quietly left.

One person being heartbroken is better than three suffering. If a sacrifice was necessary, let her be the one to make it.

"An Qi! How are your injuries now?" Lin Yifan inquired across the void.

If Li Dafeng and his group could safely exit the Jiminy Primitive Forest, they should be able to bring back centuries-old Lingzhi to the landlord's grandmother; and she would definitely brew a medicinal soup for An Qi to drink immediately.

Although the centuries-old Lingzhi was not as powerful as the millennium-old Blood Ginseng, its potent nourishing properties should help repair some of An Qi's internal injuries. So, An Qi's condition should improve, although it was uncertain if it would be enough to save her life.

Now, he was very hopeful that Li Dafeng and his group could make it out of the Jiminy Primitive Forest alive and return to Guiyuan City.

Thinking of Li Dafeng, he remembered the day on the cliff when he had sought Li Dafeng's help to intercept a foreign cultivator.
