ADAPTED FROM BAI LU CHENG SHUANG'S LOVE IN THE CLOUDS
ZHANGWEI MOUNTAIN
-Are you alright? -I'm fine.
This lousy place has such thick fog.
If there's such heavy fog,
the harder it will be to find the Bo clan's ancestral home.
Ming Yi. Can your body handle it?
It's alright, Master. I can hold on.
How about we split up?
If you find anything, send a flying message right away.
Alright. I'll go that way, you go this way.
-Alright. -Be careful.
Who's there?
-Master? -Ming Yi?
Didn't we head in opposite directions?
Why are you here?
I've been walking this way the whole time.
Oh no, we're trapped in a loop.
We're back to the same place.
Let's try again.
Let's go.
BO'S MEDICAL CLASSICS, PART 1
You're…
Ming Xian.
Though Embers has been destroyed,
it still protects its master.
It resonated with you,
which means you're its master.
You hid well.
But that bow and arrow artifact reminded me.
So, I used spiritual power to test Nirvana.
If I took a fatal blow, Nirvana would protect me.
It's the same as Embers.
You made an artifact just like Embers
and named it Nirvana.
You gave it to me.
If you want to leave,
I won't stop you.
But think carefully.
This is the first time
and also the last time I'll ask you.
Are you Ming Xian?
Are you poisoned with Heavenly Grief
that you search for Golden Millet Dream?
If you lie to me again,
it's indeed over
between us.
Yes.
I don't want to lie to you anymore.
It's an ancient divine beast,
Zhulong.
Ji Bozai. Ji Bozai.
Ji Bozai.
Your spiritual veins are completely severed.
You'd risk everything?
I didn't expect the mighty Warrior Goddess and Crown Prince
to care so much about her nemesis.
Hurry and heal yourself.
Ji Bozai is clearly injured.
Why does Zhulong have no reaction to his blood at all?
Could it be
that he's not a descendant of the Bo clan?
This place is filled with barriers.
There is no exit at all.
The spiritual veins are shattered, and the meridians are cut.
How have you endured such pain until now?
It's all my fault.
Back at Wugui Sea, I shouldn't have trusted you so much.
I never even found a chance to test your spiritual veins.
If I wanted to deceive you,
I have countless ways to hide it.
This Zhulong guards the Bo clan's ancestral home at Zhangwei Mountain.
It should have slain all outsiders.
Why did she just lock us up instead?
She must have her own plan to imprison us.
Since we're here, we might as well make ourselves at home.
We've been wandering around so long.
Aren't you hungry?
At a time like this, you're still worried about hunger?
Can't you pretend you didn't hear it?
It's like thunder.
It's hard to pretend I didn't hear, right?
You even brought scallion pancakes to Zhangwei Mountain?
Is that weird? I actually came to find you.
I have already used magic to heat it up for you.
Eat it while it's hot, Warrior Goddess.
Thank you.
Only now do I realize
you're far more important to me than I imagined.
Not a single bite should be wasted.
Quick. Finish it.
Hurry and eat. Don't leave a single bite.
No need to tell me.
Why did the fog clear?
Zhulong?
Zhulong. You're here to take me to the Bo clan's ancestral home, aren't you?
I know.
I'll always be an outsider.
I have no right to enter her former residence.
But that child…
That child has come.
She should at least see her once.
Two people? Who is the other one?
Where are they?
Did you lock them inside your barrier?
I know I don't have the right to go in.
Go find that child.
She should at least see her once.
You're done?
I ate it all and didn't save you a single bite.
You're poisoned with Heavenly Grief.
That's why you lost Qingyun Tournament.
At first, you thought I had poisoned you, didn't you?
You already know?
If I waited for you to confess, how long would that take?
I'd rather guess myself.
Yes, I thought you had poisoned me.
That's why I schemed to get close to you.
So, you plotted step by step,
just to gain my trust and then steal Golden Millet Dream?
If you had succeeded,
would you have killed me to vent your anger?
I didn't think that far.
Think about it now.
Yes. If you had used Heavenly Grief
to defeat me during Qingyun Tournament,
I would have killed you for sure.
But I would've waited until Qingyun Tournament
and defeated you fair and square before taking my revenge.
That's exactly what I thought you would say.
Back then, you even asked me
if I was the one who poisoned you.
-I denied it, and you believed me? -Yes.
And when you helped me steal Master's portrait,
you weren't completely sincere, were you?
But when we reached Xun Ming's Illusory Realm,
you were the one who saved me.
At that time,
you already couldn't bear to leave me behind, right?
Ming Yi.
Being honest isn't actually that hard.
Yes.
You're also
more important to me than I thought.
What are you doing?
I can feel that she means no harm.
Haven't we been here before?
I'm afraid something might happen to her.
I'll go in with her.
Ming Yi!
Will she be in danger?
Why can't I go in?
Is this the Bo clan's ancestral home?
Ming Xian, I've been waiting for you for so long.
Fairy Bo Yulan.
How do you know I'm Ming Xian?
What you see now
is the illusion of me and my sister, Bo Yucen.
For any descendant of the Bo clan,
as long as our portraits are still worshipped,
our final divine consciousness
will remain within this ancestral home.
Fairy Bo Yulan.
Ji Bozai is still outside.
Why not let him in?
Ming Xian.
I no longer have the face to see Ji Bozai.
Please tell him for me
that I owe him forever.
It's a debt I can never repay, even in death.
What do you mean by that?
Some truths
are actually right in front of Ji Bozai.
But those truths are too unbearable.
I'm afraid if he learns them,
it would shatter his trust in everyone and everything.
If he insists on facing,
my memories
are right within his reach.
What do you mean by that?
What exactly happened between you two?
Child, this matter has nothing to do with you.
You came here for Golden Millet Dream.
In this world,
there's no one more suitable to entrust it to than you.
Once you retrieve the recipe,
we will finally be able to rest in peace.
Descendants of the Bo clan were never meant to let Golden Millet Dream reappear.
I once made Ji Bozai swear to me
to guard Golden Millet Dream with his life.
But times have changed.
If it's to save lives and save even more people,
perhaps letting Golden Millet Dream resurface is even more meaningful.
In that case, thank you for being willing to hand me the recipe.
Once I refine Golden Millet Dream and cure the poison,
I will return it to the Bo clan's descendants.
I won't let outsiders take it.
Good girl.
Now, the Bo clan has only one descendant left in this world.
And that's my child.
But I hope
no one will ever know her identity or whereabouts.
And no one should ever find her.
There's not much time, Ming Xian.
I want you to swear.
Even in the face of the deepest abyss,
you will still protect all living beings, even at the cost of your life.
If you break this oath,
your primordial spirit shall perish,
and your soul scattered through Six Realms.
I swear, even in the face of the deepest abyss,
I will protect all living beings, even at the cost of my life.
If I break this oath,
my primordial spirit shall perish, and my soul scattered through Six Realms.
This is the rest of the recipe.
We intentionally made outsiders believe
that Part 2 of the Medical Classics was just a book.
But the Bo clan actually has another secret method.
Ming Xian, you now possess the recipe.
We
have no more regrets.
Good child, go now.
Fairy. Ji Bozai is just outside.
Go and see him.
-Ming Yi. Are you alright? -Ji Bozai.
Ji Bozai, I saw your master.
If you go in now, you should still be able to see her one last time.
How could this be?
Why…
What just happened?
I'm sorry. I don't understand either.
After Fairy Bo gave me the recipe,
I begged her to see you.
She said she wronged you.
And she said she hid the truth right within your reach.
But she feared that once you knew,
it would destroy your faith in people and in the world.
That's impossible.
Master traded her life for mine.
How could she have wronged me?
I just don't understand
why Master won't see me.
What's going on?
Impossible.
The Bo clan's divine consciousness
and the Zhulong Barrier can only recognize
descendants of the Bo clan.
Ji Bozai can't enter the Bo clan's ancestral home,
but Ming Xian can.
There's another possibility.
Ming Xian's…
She's the descendant.
YAOYUE HALL
THE VERMILION ELYSIUM
Everything went exactly as Your Majesty foresaw.
His Highness originally believed
that Ji Bozai was the descendant of the Bo clan,
so he lured him to Zhangwei Mountain.
But following Your Majesty's orders,
I stayed hidden at Zhangwei Mountain
and actually saw that the Zhulong Barrier accepted not Ji Bozai,
but his wife, Ming Yi.
As expected.
The one truly able to inherit the Bo clan's bloodline
should indeed be a fairy with spiritual veins.
Go investigate Ming Yi's true identity.
She cannot possibly
be a mere fairy from Jixing Abyss.
Yes.
Judging from Ming Yi's expression,
she must have already obtained the other half of Bo's Medical Classics.
His Highness has lived up to Your Majesty's trust.
Your Majesty will soon be able to create Golden Millet Dream.
Yes, it's been 100 years.
A full 100 years.
Once I obtain Heavenly Grief and Golden Millet Dream,
I can finally activate Sky-Swallowing Array.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
After 100 years of patience, your grand scheme will be complete.
Leaving everything in Chao Yuan's hands
was truly the right choice.
Tell him.
Once he has the complete recipe,
he is to return to Zhushui Spiritual State immediately to refine the medicine.
Yes.
Losing one Sunken Abyss means nothing.
Does Mu Yuanfeng think his Aranya Barrier can stop me?
Once I possess Heavenly Grief and Golden Millet Dream,
I shall activate Sky-Swallowing Array
during Qingyun Tournament
and completely rule over Six Realms!
BO'S MEDICAL CLASSICS, PART 1
Longevity Turtle, Luo Fish, Ostrich Rat,
White-Eared Ape, and Kunlun Moss Grass.
All are extremely rare ingredients.
It even requires Diwu tree's core as a catalyst.
According to Wood Classics, the Diwu tree is an ancient divine tree.
It has long been extinct in Six Realms.
Is there nowhere within Six Realms that still keeps Diwu tree's core?
It hasn't been gone for 100 or 1,000 years.
It's been extinct for over 10,000 years.
Where on earth could we find it?
It's simply impossible.
If it weren't for that brat
destroying the last Golden Millet Dream in existence,
we wouldn't be in this mess.
Look at him. Look.
Still pretending he knows nothing. I'm talking about you!
-Ji Bozai! Ji Bozai. -What are you doing? Playing dead?
I didn't even hit you hard.
Don't think pretending to be dead will spare you.
He's poisoned.
Zhulong's claws are venomous.
Not bad. He lasted this long.
What are you doing? Trying to make me die of anger?
It's poisonous blood.
Let me handle it.
This…
Alright.
How is he?
To die in a beauty's arms is romantic.
I can't watch this.
-I'm fine. -You're still injured.
Didn't you see enough already?
Master.
I was wounded by Zhulong too. Why am I fine?
And why did she only let me enter the Bo clan's ancestral home?
Zhulong has a really strange temper.
Maybe she just likes you and hates him.
-Then… Then Fairy Bo… -Enough.
What matters most right now
is finding Diwu tree's core to make Golden Millet Dream.
Take me back to Wugui Sea to heal my wound.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You can send him there. Leave me out of this.
Where does it hurt again?
Slow down.
I'll go get Blood-Calming Powder.
Ming Yi!
You're injured.
Has Ming Yi come too?
-Where is she? -Buxiu.
I…
No need to close the door.
Ming Yi will be back soon.
What are you doing?
Checking my wound.
Are you trying to murder your husband?
Immortal Ji, mind your words.
Our relationship is fake from the start.
Let alone now.
Go to Marriage Stone and take a look then.
See if our names are still there.
But those are fake names.
Yes.
But
I carved them there at a real cost.
I once thought you were a descendant of the Bo clan.
I have my own family too.
My mother once left a mark between my brows,
but I no longer wish to look for them.
Do you fear they abandoned you?
But if Fairy Bo's your master,
why won't the Zhulong Barrier let you through?
Perhaps it's her divine consciousness that decided so.
Maybe she just doesn't wish to see me.
Master must be hiding something from me.
I still don't understand that line.
"The truth lies before my eyes."
What does it really mean?
Did she leave anything for you?
Only Golden Millet Dream.
But Golden Millet Dream cannot hold divine consciousness.
You can so naturally mention Golden Millet Dream in front of me now.
You stopped pretending too.
You clearly know everything about Wugui Sea,
even where the Blood-Calming Powder is.
What do you plan to do next?
Now that I know the recipe for Golden Millet Dream,
even if everyone says
Diwu tree's core has vanished from Six Realms,
I still won't sit here and wait to die. I'll go find it.
I destroyed
Golden Millet Dream right before your eyes.
Don't you hate me for that?
It was yours to begin with.
You can do whatever you want with it.
Yes.
That's why I've already handled it properly.
You…
You suffered, didn't you?
You couldn't even enter the ancestral home
to see Fairy Bo one last time.
Fairy Bo's words…
Master's wronging me is nonsense.
She chose to give you the recipe
for her own reasons.
As for what she hid from me,
I'll find out myself.
-What's wrong? Does the wound hurt again? -What…
I'm hungry.
Come eat with me.
Ji Bozai, are you incapable of taking care of yourself?
You need company even to eat?
I got hurt because of you.
Slow down. At least change into clean clothes.
Fine.
You said you were hungry.
I brought the food inside, yet you wouldn't eat.
You had to come here to eat. What are you doing?
Why are you covering my eyes? Ji Bozai.
Put your hand down.
You're not in pain anymore, are you?
Why are you covering my eyes? Eat by yourself then.
Embers.
I return Embers to you today.
From now on, whether you stay in Jixing Abyss
or return to Yaoguang Mountain,
it will always protect you.
I can only try to restore its appearance,
but only you can truly repair it completely.
Thank you.
Diwu tree's core is hard to find.
There's not a single clue.
To save me, Twenty-Seven
left only a trace of divine consciousness in that bell.
I dare not hope for a future.
I said there will be a future,
then there definitely will be a future.
Diwu tree's core is hard to find.
There's not a single clue.
To save me, Twenty-Seven
left only a trace of divine consciousness in that bell.
I dare not hope for a future.
Do you want to eat fish?
You dragons all eat fish, right?
I have a name. Eat and hurry back.
-You won't tell me your name. -Buxiu.
I'm Twenty-Seven.
Buxiu? Nice name.
Honestly, I kind of envy you dragons.
You're all big and powerful.
When you take human form, you're quite sturdy.
You helped me defeat Sun Liao.
I owe you one.
-No need. -How about this?
I'll grant you three wishes.
No need. Don't act on your own.
How about this? The first wish is that I go fishing with you.
Ming Yi, you're finally back. How did it go?
I found the recipe, but we can't gather all the herbs.
Tell me what else is still missing.
I'll search the whole world's heavenly treasures.
As long as I can save you, I'll do anything.
Immortal Situ, I'm very grateful to you.
But fate runs its course, and each has their destiny.
-Don't trouble yourself. -You know your way back?
Why are you still standing there? Hurry inside.
I still need to check the Heavenly Grief in your body.
Honestly,
you never let me have a moment's peace.
-I'm not seeing you off. -Master She.
Ming Yi refuses to reveal Golden Millet Dream's recipe to me.
But I really just want to help.
Tell me what herbs are needed.
I'll find a way to get them.
Please, Master She. I must save her.
Even if I have to exchange my life for hers.
The final catalyst herb is…
Diwu tree's core.
Diwu tree's core?
It has been extinct for 13,000 years.
So, we can't make Golden Millet Dream after all.
Wait for me.
I'll find a way.
