Ru Meng's heart was filled with terror, but she knew it was impossible; he was so close to the cave entrance that he was bound to be discovered.

She was anxious inside and wanted to warn Ling Zhenfei, but the distance between them was simply too great, and she dared not speak too loudly, stamping her feet in frustration.

Ling Zhenfei, of course, was unaware of everything that was happening to Ru Meng; he was just focusing on moving down the mountain, intending to climb the cliff right away to search for the Rejuvenation Grass above.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a breeze through the air. The sound in the air startled Ling Zhenfei; it was too familiar for him to dare to proceed. He hurriedly dashed behind a nearby tree for cover.

From behind the tree, he saw in the sky Zhao Tianbi Ri, a giant bird flying from afar. This creature, with its wings spread, was three to four meters wide, its body pitch black, as dark as the night itself.

The flapping of its two wings stirred up a gust of chilling wind; its talons were as firm as iron, and its two eyes, spirited and commanding, were astonishing.

Ling Zhenfei froze, thinking he had recognized it; this creature was the Eagle that had been hunting at the Pile of Rocks last night. He hadn't expected the Eagle to fly here.

He then watched the Eagle fly from afar directly to the protruding part of that cliff, where there was a large cave. The Eagle flew straight into it.

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. It turned out that the cliff was the Eagle's home. He was relieved, feeling fortunate that he hadn't hurried to climb the cliff, as that would have been just delivering a meal to the Eagle.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly retreated and returned to Ru Meng's side.

"To think that the Eagle actually belongs to this cliff, that's quite astonishing."

Ru Meng said somewhat angrily, "What's astonishing is your behavior. I've told you not to get too close, what were you doing just now? You were so close; were you trying to get yourself killed?"

Ling Zhenfei felt slightly embarrassed, "I was anxious because I couldn't see the herbs on the cliff."

"What's there to be anxious about? Even if you go up the mountain, you need a plan. There are pythons below the cliff and a Giant Eagle above. If you're discovered, you would definitely die a horrible death."

Ru Meng's expression was cold; she was obviously still angry about Ling Zhenfei's actions.

Seeing that Ru Meng was upset, Ling Zhenfei quickly tried to console her, "I'm really sorry, I know I was too impulsive just now."

"Do you realize what the consequences of your actions could have been?" Ru Meng asked.

After reflecting, Ling Zhenfei replied, "Just now, if I had acted in that way, I might have been discovered by both the python and the Eagle, getting entangled in their fight."

Ru Meng scoffed, "You are really too presumptuous. What does your fight with them have to do with me? I'm angry because you didn't think about me at all. If you had been discovered, it would have implicated me, and I certainly don't want to die."

Only then did Ling Zhenfei understand. Ru Meng was worried about her own safety. She was right; Ru Meng was just helping him find the place; she had no obligation to partake in his risks.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider it thoroughly," Ling Zhenfei apologized to Ru Meng.

Ru Meng said, "There's no need for apologies; just think about how to get up the cliff."

Ling Zhenfei hesitated, knowing that whether it was the Eagle or the python, neither were easy to deal with. The best method would be to take the Rejuvenation Grass without being noticed by either.

But since both the Eagle and the python were already sentient, as intelligent as humans, going unnoticed wasn't so simple.

For a while, Ling Zhenfei couldn't think of any method. Meanwhile, Ru Meng started to laugh. It was a cold laugh which, although beautiful, gave Ling Zhenfei the sense that Ru Meng's laughter wasn't pure.

"Ling Zhenfei, I've thought of a method to smoothly harvest the Rejuvenation Grass from the cliff without the Eagle and python noticing," said Ru Meng.

Ling Zhenfei was overjoyed, "Just tell me the method then."

However, Ru Meng spoke indifferently at this time, "Why should I tell you the method? Don't forget the relationship between us. I brought you here under a condition. Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Ling Zhenfei had certainly not forgotten. The condition for Ru Meng bringing him here was to teach her the art of acupoint targeting.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten. As soon as I return, I will definitely teach you the art of acupoint targeting, until you've mastered it."

Ru Meng shook her head and said, "No, you need to teach me now because no one knows whether you can still make it back alive."

Ling Zhenfei was stunned. Ru Meng was being quite realistic, which made him feel like backing out. However, he had already promised her, and since she had brought him here, he really should keep his promise.

"Alright, since you want to learn it now, I will teach it to you now."

Ling Zhenfei extended his hand toward Ru Meng, who hesitated for a moment before placing her hand in Ling Zhenfei's.

Ling Zhenfei held Ru Meng's hand, closed his eyes, and then connected his Divine Sense with hers.

Ru Meng's Divine Sense did not resist and directly welcomed Ling Zhenfei's entry. Ling Zhenfei felt like he had entered a vast, empty house, and Ru Meng was standing opposite him, which was Ru Meng's Divine Sense.

"What do you mean by this?" Ru Meng asked in surprise.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Outside, it's a forest, and we are so close to those two beasts, not a suitable place for invoking Northern Spiritual Energy. Inside the Divine Sense, we don't have to worry about these problems, and learning becomes twice as effective."

Ru Meng also thought that this method was good, a smile appeared on her face, "Then what are you waiting for? Start now."

Ling Zhenfei did not waste time; he immediately began teaching Ru Meng inside the Divine Sense, explaining to her the chants, movements, and techniques of acupoint targeting without holding anything back.

The biggest difficulty for Ru Meng was recognizing the effects of the various acupoints on the body. As long as she knew what each acupoint represented, it would become very simple.

Ru Meng's memory was astonishing; it didn't take long for her to clearly remember the acupoints on the body. Mastering the techniques was even less of a challenge for her.

For Ling Zhenfei, acupoint targeting was a very simple skill, which did not require dedicated time for cultivation; it was very simple as long as one understood the underlying principles.

To exchange such a skill for the path up this cliff was definitely worthwhile.

Not much time passed before Ru Meng grasped everything under Ling Zhenfei's guidance. With just a little more practice, she would become very proficient.

"Am I not too smart? It's almost like I learn everything immediately," Ru Meng said, very pleased with herself.

"Yes, yes, you are too smart. There's nothing too difficult for you," Ling Zhenfei, of course, did not dare to offend Ru Meng now, as she was so familiar with the forest she would definitely think of a good plan.

Ru Meng laughed, a laugh very different from her usual cold demeanor.

"I have thought of a way for you to reach the cliff top undetected. Do you want to know it?"

Ling Zhenfei was delighted, "Of course, I want to know. Tell me quickly."

Ru Meng's eyes gleamed with a hint of slyness, "Such an important method... if I tell you, what benefits can I get?"
