In Han Zhan’s perception.

The area around them had already been filled with a large number of bombs from the Mechanical Sect’s virtual-real technology.

This far exceeded the ammunition equivalent of a saturation bombing.

Upon hearing Han Zhan mention this situation,

Chen Zui gritted his teeth and took out four bottles of liquor from his pocket, each only the size of a potion vial.

“This is Horseradish Wine!”

“After drinking it, you can shrink yourself a hundredfold for one hour!”

“The materials used to brew this wine are extremely rare. I only have four bottles, and once consumed, there’ll be no more.”

“What about clothes and equipment when the body shrinks?” Han Zhan asked a soul-searching question.

From Chen Zui’s somewhat awkward and reluctant face, he could already see the answer.

The answer was four words, make your own way!

Without a second thought, Han Zhan took the three bottles of Horseradish Wine, and handed two bottles to Zhan Ning and Yu Lian.

Zhan Ning and Yu Lian, each handed a bottle of Horseradish Wine, were momentarily stunned, but there was no time for hesitation; they quickly opened the bottles and swallowed the contents.

During the time it took for the virtual-real bombs to transition from virtual to real, all four of them drank the Horseradish Wine.

Their bodies began to shrink at a visibly rapid pace.

In the blink of an eye, they had shrunk to one percent of their original size.

The damage and stress area caused by an explosion are closely related; the impact on a particle size is much smaller.

Just as their bodies transformed into dust particles, the virtual-real bombs completed their charging and fully detonated.

The light of extinction and the shockwave from the explosion swept across half of the Medicine Valley.

The flames that shot up into the sky made even the heavens appear ablaze.

As a “particle,” Han Zhan faced no harm from such damage after shrinking.

However, the massive shockwave blew him away to an unknown location.

The four miniaturized people were scattered far and wide, separated by vast distances due to the virtual-real bomb explosion.

But it didn’t matter; after an hour, when they returned to their normal size, they could reunite.

The explosion finally came to a halt.

It’s not easy to produce such a massive number of virtual-real particles.

The Mechanical Sect’s sneak attack ended in failure.

Han Zhan quickly wrapped himself in “clothes” and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He found himself in a dark, deep pit.

Surrounding him were towering brown gorges, soft to the touch, with a familiar earthy smell; they seemed to be soil from a miniature perspective.

The air was filled with the scent of energy annihilation after the explosion.

And a deafening silence.

“Chen Zui!”

“Zhan Ning! Yu Lian!”

Han Zhan attempted to shout a few times, but there was no response.

Looking up from there, he could only see a faint glimmer of light above.

“After the body becomes particle-sized, even the world we see undergoes dramatic changes.”

“With nothing else to do, exploring in this form might be a unique new experience.”

Han Zhan murmured to himself, deciding to move forward.

Due to the Mechanical Sect’s virtual-real bombs, half of the Medicine Valley was plowed through, and from the miniature perspective, it seemed like an entirely new world.

With an hour to explore, Han Zhan didn’t expect to discover anything remarkable.

To his surprise, after just a few steps, he spotted a yellowed page embedded in the soil.

Pulling out the page, Han Zhan found the text on it fragmented and incomplete, but could barely make out a few un-eroded characters.

“Why would there be remnants of pages in this soil?”

Han Zhan tried handling the page with his fingers and found it surprisingly resilient, its material unknown.

The familiar feel immediately reminded Han Zhan of something else.

Elder Bing’s pill formula given to him yesterday!

The same yellowed pill formula, buried here for countless years, without its text drying out.

The pill formula contained records about the Medicine Valley.

So is there any connection between the pill formula and these pages in the soil of Medicine Valley?

Hold on.

Han Zhan realized something.

He was currently the size of a particle!

Which means this yellowed page is also only particle-sized? The text on it also particle-sized?

If not for Chen Zui’s Horseradish Wine, and the Mechanical Sect’s virtual-real bomb explosion unveiling the bottom of the Medicine Valley,

This yellowed page might have never seen the light of day.

This was a complete coincidence.

After realizing this, Han Zhan scanned his surroundings.

“The virtual-real bombs didn’t shatter these pages, so they must be scattered around.”

“But given the immense explosion impact, the particle-sized pages might have been blown far away; how can I gather them all?”

Even thinking about it made Han Zhan feel it was a massive task.

“It would be great to have enough people helping me search.”

“Even with an hour, a large number might not suffice.”

“People?”

Han Zhan repeated the word, and a sudden idea struck him.

He lacked people, but he had many things other than people!

Fu Xi Zither, Ancient Resentful Sunset Array, millions of Izaki Young Snake!

Thinking this, Han Zhan immediately called forth the Fu Xi Zither. Under the effect of Horseradish Wine, even the Fu Xi Zither summoned by Han Zhan shrunk to one percent of its original size.

The power of Horseradish Wine was so strong that it could influence Contracted Spirits and Talents, astonishingly.

Clearing his thoughts, Han Zhan played the Fu Xi Zither, conjuring the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array. As the array appeared on the ground, Izaki Young Snake Battle Spirits crawled out of the ancient array.

Once they memorized the scent of the page fragment in Han Zhan’s hand, they began to disperse in all directions.

Millions of Izaki Young Snake Battle Spirits, densely packed, looked like golden specks scattered in the soil.

As Izaki Young Snakes, they had an acute sense of smell and an unmatched advantage of sheer numbers.

As they spread out, Han Zhan returned to his original spot, focused on recovering spiritual power while maintaining the operation of the Ancient Resentful Sunset Array, waiting silently.

With his current Tier Six Peak strength, plus the boost from Spiritual Source Wine, summoning all these Tier One Realm Izaki Young Snake Battle Spirits wasn’t a challenge for Han Zhan.

Soon, the first Izaki Young Snake Battle Spirit successful in finding a page fragment returned.

Then came the second, the third…

These page fragments lay scattered in the soil, all particle-sized. Without today’s series of unexpected events, they might have gone undiscovered.

Even if found, collecting all these fragments would be a highly arduous task.

The capability to make all these circumstances align was unique to Han Zhan; finding another person capable would be difficult.

This piqued Han Zhan’s interest even more, curious about what content these fragments could piece together.
