Chapter 1245: Chapter 1244: the Yun Family’s Forbidden Ground
The next day.
As the morning glow rose, accompanied by the sound of whistles, one by one, large ships steered towards Penglai Island.
Because the ships were so large and impressive, they alarmed many people.
Many from the Yun family climbed high towers and city walls or ascended to elevated places to gaze toward the sea.
Some had never left Penglai Island since birth and were very curious about the outside world.
Although they could understand the knowledge and situation outside through certain techniques, it was completely different from seeing it with their own eyes.
Seeing these large ships excited them greatly.
Of course, some of the older generation appeared a bit worried.
The ships were divided into several groups.
One group, led by the main leader, was surveying the terrain and recording it for documentation.
Another group, the largest, carried various equipment and headed for the mountains.
The last group was personally led by Meng Po, guarding Yang Chen’s nutrition chamber, transporting it to the Yun family’s residence.
This time, the guard brought along was as well-trained as the one left here last time, they cleared the roads in an instant and ensured defense, with no problems during transportation.
Especially the nutrition chamber for Yang Chen, even Kun Yao personally guarded it, ensuring no one could damage it.
The transportation work lasted a day, and by nighttime, once all circuits were connected, and the power test was complete, it was activated!
Everyone began orderly work.
Especially Professor Qian and his group of expert professors, who studied the formulas, Soul Returning Powder, and Water Lingzhi.
With the help of professional scientific instruments, they quickly analyzed the primary elements of Soul Returning Powder.
However, many special elements were difficult to identify even for them, requiring more time for research.
Kun Yao allied with three Elders Zu, bringing together five Elders who had studied Soul Returning Powder, including three Cabinet Elders and two Sect Elders.
Many who studied Soul Returning Powder were close to the end of their lives and, knowing they could not advance further, began preparing by researching Soul Returning Powder.
Currently, all Soul Returning Powders of the Yun family come from Grandmaster Realm experts who exchanged a lifetime of study and their lives for them!
Although currently, only five are researching Soul Returning Powder, many generations of the Yun family have devoted themselves to it, each leaving valuable experience.
These experiences are very important to Professor Qian and his team, serving as an inspirational guide.
Research cannot be completed in a day or two; it requires time to slowly dissect.
...
On the other side.
The leader had a meeting with Yun Haotian.
Knowing the leader’s identity, Yun Haotian was extremely worried.
Though Yun Haotian did not wish to be bound, now that Penglai Island was exposed and the leader personally appeared here, Yun Haotian had no choice but to submit!
No matter how strong he was, with his supreme cultivation, he dared not oppose the authorities!
Helplessly, Yun Haotian could only express willingness to comply with organizational arrangements.
Seeing Yun Haotian’s cooperation, the main leader naturally assured that they would not damage the ecological environment here, but only establish a base to protect the safety here, also granting them self-supervision rights without interference in internal management.
And, of course, the leader promised Yun Haotian certain benefits; people must be rewarded to submit, providing support in future development and construction.
Simply put, funding and policy support, which can be settled with a word from them.
Although Yun Haotian did not like it, he could only grudgingly agree, accompanied by forced smiles with the main leader.
...
In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
Research showed increasing progress, yet there was still some distance from the time of antidote creation.
Yang Chenxi came daily before the nutrition chamber, standing there for a whole day without blinking at Yang Chen.
However, over these three days, Yang Chenxi’s complexion grew paler, lips lost their color, and her spirit seemed much more lethargic, eye bags appeared, and once bright eyes showed numerous blood-red lines, dimming significantly.
This scene pained many who saw it.
Ye Liangcai advised Yang Chenxi to rest well, Elder Zhuo and Qin Zhiyuan were also deeply concerned, and Professor Qian even secretly added sleeping medication to Yang Chenxi’s water cup, yet it had little effect, only seeing Yang Chenxi become more haggard each day.
Yang Chenxi walked to the nutrition chamber, reaching out to touch the glass door, murmuring: "No matter what, I will wait for the day you wake up!"
After speaking, Yang Chenxi left the room and headed to the other side of Penglai Island.
This area was full of jagged rocks, cliffs, faced by fierce winds, below waves crashed one after another, each wave overshadowing the previous one, ferocious to the extreme.
The Second Young Master Yun had told her that she was discovered here initially.
The jagged rocks below, the Yun family saw her from there and pulled her up.
The Yun family searched the surroundings and found no one accompanying her.
These days, Yang Chenxi brought people to search nearby reefs, found bits and pieces of clues, but no trace of any Dragon Tooth Squad members.
After surveying the surroundings, Yang Chenxi walked into the nearby forest.
From the cliff edge to the forest was a road that led straight into the depths of the jungle.
Walking into the forest changed the surroundings immediately.
Trees grew denser, air became humid, the ground covered in moss, ferns flanked both sides of the path; even aerial roots wrapped around thick trunks, carving deep grooves into them.
This place exudes an ancient atmosphere.
The path was the same.
Walking further in, the sound of waves was almost inaudible, replaced only by sporadic insect chirps.
Before long, the scenery opened up, revealing stone-carved Divine Elephants on either side.
The Divine Elephants were covered in moss, some corroded by ages to the point of losing outline, resembling mere stone columns.
Red strings and various prayer items adorned the Divine Elephants, embodiments of the Yun family’s hopeful wishes.
Moreover, the road began to lay with cobblestones, appearing much cleaner.
From here, one could see, a hundred meters or so up a small hill, a clear spring spurting merrily from the top, flowing down the mountain stream, ultimately pooling into a small man-made pond.
The pond, though surrounded by smooth stones clearly stacked artificially, bore marks of ancient times, indicating its long history.
This... is the Forgetful Spring!
A sacred place of the Yun family!
