Shocked, ancient ruins

Emperor Beichen nodded and noticed that Baili Hongzhuang seemed unfamiliar with ancient relics, so he proceeded to provide her with some information about them.

"Why does miasma accompany the appearance of ancient relics?" Baili Hongzhuang asked, as it was the part she didn't understand.

"Several hundred years ago, the Luo Yun Mountain Range experienced a strong miasma. At that time, hardly anyone dared to approach the mountain range, but gradually, it dissipated and became what it is now," Emperor Beichen explained.

"I have read records in historical books. The miasma back then was terrifying, with extremely strong toxins and a vast range, just like the miasma we see now. However, when I looked through the historical books, there was no record of the cause of the miasma at that time."

Baili Hongzhuang finally understood. She hadn't expected the Luo Yun Mountain Range to have such a history. In her own time, such an event had never occurred.

"So, this ancient relic is likely buried underground when the miasma appeared back then?" Baili Hongzhuang speculated, realizing the whole picture. If that were the case, they had stumbled upon a huge treasure.

A powerful individual who constructed an ancient relic must have had a rich inheritance, whether it be cultivation techniques, martial skills, or weapons. These treasures were usually rare and belonged to the legacies of various clans. On the other hand, ancient relics were the inheritances of ordinary cultivators. If they were lucky, they could obtain treasures from them.

"Smart!" Emperor Beichen praised. "The miasma is still dense now, and most cultivators would be unable to enter. I believe many people have yet to anticipate what lies inside."

Baili Hongzhuang's eyes brightened. "If we go in directly, wouldn't we be ahead of everyone else?"

"Yes," Emperor Beichen nodded. "However, the toxicity of the miasma is terrifying. It won't be an easy task to enter."

Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a confident smile. "Leave the detoxification to me!"

Since they had the opportunity to encounter such a treasure, how could she not seize the initiative?

Detoxification was her specialty.

If Emperor Beichen could guess that there was an ancient relic within the miasma, she believed that others might have similar thoughts. After all, ancient relics were treasures that even prestigious cultivation families couldn't ignore. Those old fellows were all knowledgeable and could deduce the situation from the slightest clue. Their remaining time was already limited.

Baili Hongzhuang no longer hesitated and immediately started researching the formulation of detoxification pills.

Through her previous research, she had already understood the characteristics of the miasma toxin, but formulating the detoxification pills was the most complex part.

Every slight difference in the ingredients would lead to different effects of the detoxification pills, so she needed to be extremely meticulous in her research.

After all, facing such intense miasma, even a slight mistake could cost them their lives.

Time slowly passed, and night fell once again.

After consuming their rations, everyone prepared to rest. However, when they glanced at Baili Hongzhuang, they couldn't help but show admiration in their eyes.

From day to night, Baili Hongzhuang had dedicated all her energy to researching the detoxification pills. Her concentrated expression showed that she hadn't even had time to eat. She seemed completely immersed in her own world, unaffected by anything happening around her.
