Faced with the cultivators from the Immortal Doctor's Pavilion surging in from all directions, Lu Lingxi was filled with despair. Just then, a figure suddenly emerged from the mist. He was dressed in a magnificent apothecary robe, with handsome features and a gentle temperament, like a ray of light emerging from the darkness.

Lu Lingxi was startled, her gaze fixed on the half of the ancient jade in his hand that resembled her own.

"Who are you?" Lu Lingxi asked coldly, her heart filled with vigilance.

"I am Bai Xiaochen, a disciple of the Hundred Herbs Master." He smiled slightly, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "I am not here to capture you, but to invite you to cooperate!"

"Cooperation?" Zhuque scoffed disdainfully, flames dancing in her hand. "We have no desire to participate in your Immortal Healer's Dwelling's conspiracy!"

“I understand your concerns. Although I am a disciple of the Immortal Doctor’s Pavilion, I have never colluded with them!” Bai Xiaochen’s tone was gentle yet firm. “Please believe that the ancient jade I possess is inextricably linked to the ancient jade in your hands. They are the key to unlocking the secrets of the Yellow Spring Root.”

Lu Lingxi's heart stirred. In the Kunlun Ring, the ancient jade shimmered with a faint light, seemingly responding to the half piece of ancient jade in Bai Xiaochen's hand.

"Do you know the secret of the ancient jade?" Lu Lingxi asked tentatively, her gaze fixed on Bai Xiaochen's face.

“Of course.” Bai Xiaochen smiled slightly, a hint of mystery in his eyes. “These two ancient jade pieces are the keys to unlocking the Yellow Spring Tomb. Only by collecting both pieces can one truly master the power of the Yellow Spring Root.”

"You want us to believe you?" Huan Yue's voice carried a hint of doubt.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaochen's tone became serious. "Three hundred years ago, the Immortal Doctor's Dock began secretly cultivating the Yellow Spring Root, not to save lives, but to control the spiritual lifeline of the entire Ancient Continent. Now, the power of the Yellow Spring Root has gone out of control, and someone must stop it."

Lu Lingxi was shocked. Bai Xiaochen's words exploded in her mind like a thunderclap. She suddenly remembered the words of the Nine-Tailed Fox before her death and had a vague guess in her heart.

"Is everything you're saying true?" Lu Lingxi's voice was low, her eyes revealing a hint of determination. "If you truly want to cooperate, then we need more proof."

"of course."

Bai Xiaochen nodded, and the ancient jade in his hand emitted a soft light, illuminating the surrounding darkness. He slowly raised the jade, and the light converged in the air, forming a mysterious light and shadow.

"This is the power of the ancient jade," Bai Xiaochen's voice was deep and magnetic. "It can sense the existence of the Yellow Spring Root. Only by finding the Yellow Spring Root can we unravel all these mysteries."

"You want us to believe you, but how can we trust you?" Lu Lingxi's gaze was sharp as she stared directly at Bai Xiaochen, her heart filled with vigilance.

“I understand your concerns,” Bai Xiaochen smiled slightly. “But I hope you can give me a chance. We can search for the Yellow Spring Root together and uncover the conspiracy of the Immortal Doctor’s Dock.”

“Alright.” Lu Lingxi nodded. If Bai Xiaochen really wanted to cooperate, she would give him a chance and also take the opportunity to find out the conspiracy behind the Immortal Doctor’s Dock.

"We must find a breakthrough," Bai Xiaochen said urgently. "The cultivators of Immortal Healer's Dock won't let you off easily."

Just then, the cultivators from the Immortal Healer's Pavilion seemed to notice the commotion and began to gather around. Bai Xiaochen's expression changed slightly, and he turned to Lu Lingxi Yao and said, "Quick, come with me!"

The four quickly followed Bai Xiaochen, passing through the fog and heading in an unknown direction. Lu Lingxi was filled with doubts, but she knew that there was no turning back in the current situation; the only option was to move forward.

"What is your purpose?" Huan Yue couldn't help but ask as she ran, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

"I want to find the Root of the Underworld and stop the Immortal Doctor's Den's conspiracy." Bai Xiaochen's voice was firm and powerful. "And you are the key to achieving this goal."

"We will cooperate fully," Lu Lingxi said with a firm tone, "but we will also remain vigilant at all times, so don't try anything funny!"

"I understand." Bai Xiaochen smiled slightly.
