When he woke up again, it was already the next morning. Ye Tian stretched his body, feeling an unprecedented sense of fullness, as if he had boundless energy.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; Ye Tian knew this was the effect of the Spiritual Pill. His strength had undergone a breakthrough enhancement.
He opened his Divine Consciousness to explore within himself, and sure enough, changes occurred at the connection point of his Dantian. Underneath the delicate lines formed by weak spiritual energy, the Third Spirit Pouch emerged.
With a slight movement of his Divine Consciousness, he probed into the three Spirit Pouches. The spiritual energy in the first and Second Spirit Pouches was abundant, like cups that were already full yet still being filled with water, giving a feeling that they could overflow at any moment.
Continuing to investigate the Third Spirit Pouch, although its exterior appeared no different from the first two Spirit Pouches in his Divine Consciousness, Ye Tian could clearly sense that the spiritual energy contained within the Third Spirit Pouch was even greater than that of the first two combined.
Moreover, in its current state, the Third Spirit Pouch was still not full.
Ye Tian couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement; the advancement of the Spirit Pouch had actually increased exponentially. It seemed that in the Spirit Sect, relying solely on pure spiritual energy would never lead to situations of defeating opponents of higher levels.
Splash...
The river flowed quietly when suddenly a fat carp leaped out and then fell back into the water, splashing droplets everywhere.
His thoughts were pulled back as Ye Tian stretched lazily and contentedly returned to the village.
This small river was located to the west of the village. On his way back, he happened to encounter Cold Moon getting up. Seeing Ye Tian in high spirits, she asked if something good had happened or if he had a beautiful dream.
Ye Tian was speechless; a beautiful dream? Without the Spiritual Pill, last night's experience would have been nothing short of disastrous. Not only did he have nowhere to stay, but he also faced a downpour while trying to survive outdoors.
Fortunately, the pure medicinal effect of the Spiritual Pill had knocked Ye Tian out cold. When he woke up, he had no awareness of what had happened last night. If it weren't for his soaked clothes, he might have doubted whether it had rained at all.
"Did you dream about us, Yun'er?" Cold Moon said with a mischievous smile.
"I dreamed about you," Ye Tian replied casually.
Upon hearing this, Cold Moon's heart trembled slightly, but she quickly realized that Ye Tian was just joking, so she did not show any emotion.
The two laughed and joked for a while. Since they had already explained everything to everyone yesterday, there was no need for further discussion today. After giving a few simple reminders, Ye Tian bid farewell to Cold Moon and Yun'er and returned to the east of the village to wake up Duan Liu. The two then set off again towards Luoma Market.
In truth, Ye Tian did not want Duan Liu to come along. Firstly, this was his personal matter, unrelated to anyone except Cold Moon. Secondly, with Wang Weiyang resurrected and Cold Yang having lost his memory, if this were true, the situation would be far more dangerous than imagined.
He did not want his brother to take risks for him; that was the last thing Ye Tian wished to see.
However, Duan Liu did not think that much. He was straightforward and somewhat reckless. At this moment, his only thought was to assist Ye Tian; whether it was dangerous or not didn't matter to him—he just wanted to have a stroll.
Last night had seen heavy rain, making the already dilapidated road even muddier. However, the weather was splendid—clear blue skies and bright sunshine.
The two walked along the mountain path leading to Luoma Market. The reason for choosing this path was simple: they did not want their shoes to get dirty in the mud.
The terrain here was quite flat; hundreds of miles in the Square Area revealed no tall peaks, only a series of low-lying mountains with sparse trees and plenty of weeds. The green grass and red flowers spread across the hillsides made for a pleasant view.
The shade of the mountains kept the sunlight from reaching the roots of the plants, resulting in a lot of dew. They had not walked far before their shoes and socks were thoroughly soaked.
Duan Liu spat and grumbled about the weather and the dew. In short, he complained about everything except for his insistence on coming along.
"There's someone ahead."
Ye Tian interrupted Duan Liu's incessant chatter, his expression turning vigilant as he focused his senses. Three miles ahead on the left front, he sensed several presences ranging from a First-Stage Martial Artist to a Five-Stage Martial Artist.
These auras suddenly appeared, likely indicating that a fight could break out at any moment. However, those wandering in this vast grassland were certainly not good people.
"Hey, it seems like there's a Giant White Ape," Duan Liu also sensed it and muttered after a moment.
Ye Tian nodded. Just now, another aura had suddenly emerged, and it was none other than Yun'er's senior brother, the White-Furred Giant Ape, Fang Xiong.
"The Giant White Ape is outnumbered; should we go take a look?" Duan Liu always adhered to a principle: a brother's brother is also my brother, and one must help when a brother is in trouble.
"No need."
Ye Tian unexpectedly shook his head, his expression relaxed as he continued on his way.
Duan Liu was taken aback for a moment, then hurried to catch up and asked in confusion, "Why not help him? Isn't he Yun'er's senior brother?"
"We don't need to help." Ye Tian bit down on a piece of wild grass.
"How do you know? I can vaguely sense at least five people on the other side." In terms of simply sensing Martial Origin Power, Duan Liu still had some gaps compared to Ye Tian. As he said, he could only vaguely sense the number of opponents, but knew nothing about their specific strength.
"Even ten wouldn't be enough for him to have a meal." Ye Tian smiled, quite confident in the strength of the Giant White Ape.
"Have you fought with him?" Duan Liu asked another pointless question.
Ye Tian chose to ignore him. During their encounter the night before last, Fang Xiong had already revealed his strength; Duan Liu should have sensed it. Asking now was just idle chatter.
"Speaking of which, I couldn't sense his specific strength the night before last." Duan Liu realized his aimless rambling and quickly steered the conversation back on track.
"Then that's settled. With your Crimson Flame Beast Blood's strength fully activated, it should be comparable to Martial Unity Definition. If even you couldn't sense it, how terrifying do you think his strength is?"
Ye Tian spoke casually, but Duan Liu listened with delight. He did not know how much the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique could enhance his strength, but upon hearing Ye Tian mention it, his eyes immediately lit up. The Martial Unity Definition was a power that could rival the top disciples of the Cloud Pavilion!
"Hey, kneel down and bow your head," Duan Liu said as he took a big step to overtake Ye Tian, using his shoulder to nudge him.
Ye Tian, caught off guard by the nudge, stumbled and exclaimed, "Are you out of your mind?"
"Without saying anything, just three bows and I'll take care of you from now on," Duan Liu said proudly, blocking Ye Tian's path.
"..." Ye Tian frowned in silence. Duan Liu loved to joke around and would seize any opportunity to mess around without considering the timing.
"Let's hurry up," Ye Tian said as he stepped aside.
Duan Liu quickly blocked him again, grinning, "This mountain is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass this way, leave some toll behind."
With that, he placed his hand on Ye Tian's shoulder, wearing an expression that said he wouldn't let him go without a fight.
"You’re pushing me. Don’t blame me if my pride gets hurt," Ye Tian thought. Since there was no escaping it, he might as well teach him a lesson, especially since he had the advantage in strength.
"Pfft, besides scaring me, do you really think you can withstand power comparable to the Martial Unity Definition?" Duan Liu felt excited at the thought. The Martial Unity Definition was indeed something remarkable!
"I'm definitely not bluffing you, but are you really so confident that you've completely mastered the Crimson Flame Mad Ape's True Form?"
Ye Tian sneered disdainfully, which made Duan Liu feel a chill in his heart. Yun'er had only taught him the simple incantation for operating the Void Fire through the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique; he had never even heard of anything as complex as true forms or anything like that, let alone mastered it.
"What’s a true form?" Duan Liu asked sheepishly. He realized that he was not yet Ye Tian's match. A gentleman takes revenge ten years later; being eager to learn is not shameful...
"The Giant White Ape is the true form..." Ye Tian generously began to explain it to him.
Actually, Ye Tian knows very little about the Blood Exchange and Marrow Transformation Technique. Strictly speaking, he is even less knowledgeable than Duan Liu, who at least can control the Void Fire. As for Ye Tian, he has always passively improved his strength. However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing; otherwise, who knows what kind of terrifying consequences would arise from fully activating the Crimson Dragon's True Form.
Getting rich quickly can lead to losing it just as fast. Ye Tian prefers to steadily and gradually master his abilities.
"Oh~!"
After hearing this, Duan Liu exclaimed in realization, feeling envious in his heart. He thought to himself that the Giant White Ape is truly impressive. If he could transform into the form of the Crimson Flame Ape, that would be incredibly cool.
Ye Tian saw through his thoughts and mocked him, "Aren't you tired of the beast's blood?"
"When have I ever complained?" Duan Liu denied it, his eyes darting around. He was never good at lying.
"Heh heh." Ye Tian sneered, all disdain unspoken.
"Damn!" Duan Liu clearly expressed his feelings with a single word.
"Are you coming or not?" Ye Tian asked.
"Coming for what?"
"Aren't you the one who is always making a fuss about starting new projects?"
"Damn!"
"Mind your manners."
"What’s wrong? I’m just rough around the edges; what can you do about it... Hey, wait a minute, I'm not ready yet! Is this a sneak attack?"
At noon that day, the two arrived at Luoma Market. Without attending to other matters, they first found that inconspicuous tavern from last time and had a bowl of Scallion Braised Noodles before beginning to plan their main business.
Due to being mistakenly identified as shameless Thieves last time, they needed to be cautious and approach the local most powerful force, the Qin Family. Portraits and notices were posted in every street and alley, with a substantial bounty on their heads—no less than fifteen hundred taels of gold.
Duan Liu had a common face, but Ye Tian possessed a certain Handsome charm that frequently turned heads as they walked down the street. Fortunately, people tended to complicate matters, so Ye Tian walked calmly through the streets, which made others less likely to associate him with the wanted criminal of the Qin Family.
“Tsk tsk tsk…” Duan Liu scoffed at their portraits, saying disdainfully, “None of them are as good as my drawing.”
Ye Tian chuckled in agreement; indeed, the portraits lacked vividness. Although there was a five-point resemblance in their features, they lacked spirit. This was one of the main reasons why no one could identify them.
The two critiqued the portraits extensively, indulging in mockery and disdain. Of course, they were unaware that these portraits were drawn based on Qin Wuji's personal descriptions. In other words, the lack of likeness had a lot to do with Qin Wuji himself...
At the southern end of the city stood a grand and imposing estate. Within the estate was a tall tower, and at that moment, a figure stood at its peak, facing the wind in white garments.
He gazed deeply towards the distant city gate and softly said, “Ye Tian, all I can do is this much.”
