Li Xian searched the mountains for herbs, treating ordinary herbs as precious ones, and precious herbs as rare ones. Over time, a slight warmth spread from his heart, healing four-tenths. He could now run and jump easily, and perform light martial arts like "Miao Yun Hand" and "Clear Wind Leg." He had initially acquired the power to defend himself.
The Absolute Palm Peak was steep, with many dangerous spots. To the southwest was a mountain gorge with a warm climate and fertile soil that nurtured precious herbs. However, to reach it, one must cross several treacherous plank roads, where the mountainside eroded by lake winds would crumble underfoot. Along the path, vegetation obstructed the view, with a risk of falling into the abyss with one misstep. Although Li Xian coveted the herbs of the mountain gorge, he dared not rashly venture into danger without certainty.
