Jiang Yuan swung his arm, and Old Ma's body rapidly retreated backward.
He then forcefully darted forward.
The brown bear, seeing the oncoming Jiang Yuan, a ruthless glint flashed in its eyes.
The next moment, it roared toward the sky, raising its paw high up.
At its highest point, the paw, as big as a cattail leaf fan, was swept down, nearly obscuring half the sky.
At this point, Jiang Yuan still didn't dodge but continued to rush toward the brown bear.
Seeing this, a trace of worry flashed across Old Ma's face.
One can't just take this paw head-on!
The vitality of this brown bear was so vigorous that even tens of meters away, he could feel a massive pressure coming from it.
From his perspective, in terms of body forging realm, this brown bear was not inferior to a blood-transformation master.
Considering the size advantage, even a blood-transformation master wouldn't dare to recklessly block its paw.
But at this moment, Jiang Yuan clearly had no intention of avoiding it.
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted, "Young Master, retreat quickly! You can't take it head-on!"
At the same time.
The brown bear heavily swung down its massive paw.
It seemed to see the next moment when this puny human would be squashed into a puddle of blood by its paw.
Thinking of this, it was extremely satisfied, even thinking about roaring toward the sky.
However, the next moment, when they collided.
Boom!
A muffled sound rang out.
Contrary to its wish, its paw was firmly grasped by that human.
It looked shocked, a human-like confusion appearing on its face.
Far away, Old Ma also looked stunned.
"How is this possible?"
Disbelief was written all over his face.
The next moment.
"Ha!"
Jiang Yuan shouted angrily, stomping his right foot on the ground.
Power surged from his foot, up along his spine, into his arms.
Under this force, the gigantic body of the brown bear was instantly lifted by Jiang Yuan.
Its paws slowly left the ground.
At this moment, fear filled the bear's eyes.
Experiencing this force firsthand, it realized that it was no match for this frail-looking man before it.
Even in its prime, it would not have been his opponent.
In front of this terrifying force, it had no qualification to compete.
Let alone at this point, it had already lost too much blood, externally strong but internally weak, it couldn't resist.
Not far away, Old Ma watched this scene with wide eyes, muttering to himself, "How is this possible!"
"Die!"
Jiang Yuan roared angrily, and his hands swirled down heavily.
Boom!
The earth shook.
A sound that shook the heavens rang out, massive rocks fell from the cliff, and the ground was slightly shaking.
With this slam, the brown bear instantly lost its strength, lying motionless on the ground.
At this moment.
Old Ma's face was filled with disbelief, the brown bear, comparable to a blood-transformation level, was defeated by Jiang Yuan in an instant.
If this got out, no one would believe it.
Who would believe that Jiang Yuan, who a month ago was still at the fourth level of the Body Forging realm and a reckless youngster, had now become strong enough to rival a blood-transformation master at the seventh level of the Body Forging realm?
If this was spread out, people would only laugh it off, taking it as a joke during a meal.
On the other side, Jiang Yuan came to the brown bear, looking down at it.
The brown bear's eyes showed a pleading look.
Old Ma saw that Jiang Yuan didn't send it off on its last journey, so he came to Jiang Yuan's side.
"Young Master, shall I do it for you?"
"No need!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head.
He lifted his leg and kneed down.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
The brown bear's skull exploded like a water bag in an instant, and its life was extinguished.
Jiang Yuan walked towards the fiery red spiritual plant. "There's always a first time for everything. If I don't dare to kill a mere brown bear, how can I grow?"
"The young master has really grown up, the old master's spirit in heaven can rest in peace!"
Old Ma said from behind, with relief.
"Uncle Ma, you've seen a lot, do you recognize what kind of spiritual medicine this is?"
Old Ma shook his head: "How could I recognize it? This is my first time seeing a living spiritual medicine."
"This kind of thing is usually heard of being in the hands of immortals. If we offer this to an immortal, the glory and wealth we would get would be endless."
Jiang Yuan smiled without saying anything.
He didn't care about glory and wealth, not to mention ten thousand gold.
This world was clearly not ordinary. Without power, so-called glory and wealth were just empty in the end.
With enough power, glory and wealth were within easy reach.
Besides, there were realms above the body-forging realm.
If his guess was correct, after breaking through the body-forging realm, they would exist like the immortals in their mouths, their lifespan would greatly increase.
Under these circumstances, what did wealth count for?
This was the path to longevity!
In the history of his past life, the word "longevity" fascinated many emperors.
Who in the world could escape the temptation of "longevity"?
Old Ma suddenly asked, "Young master, how did you know there was a spiritual medicine here?"
"Intuition!" Jiang Yuan replied absentmindedly.
After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at the spiritual plant in front of him.
Old Ma hurriedly said, "Young master, don't daze off! You quickly take this spiritual plant and refine it, it can certainly greatly enhance your strength!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "No rush!"
After he said that, he bent down and plucked a leaf from the spiritual medicine and put it in his mouth.
Old Ma looked nervously at Jiang Yuan.
After a few moments, seeing no change in Jiang Yuan's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "Young master, how do you feel? Is there any reaction?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head, closing his eyes.
Then his lips moved slightly, gently biting into the surface of the leaf.
In an instant, a cool juice surged out.
Spreading from his tongue tip into his body, his body felt like a parched land welcoming the rain.
His cells were filled with jubilation.
Feeling the various changes in his body, Jiang Yuan was astonished inside.
His body seemed to have been in a deficit state recently.
With the medicinal effect of this leaf, he noticed the changes in his body.
After a little thought, he felt it was quite reasonable.
The strength of his body had been increasing his marrow refining progress every day, but energy couldn't be created from nothing.
Back then, the strength of his body had a leap-like improvement. Now he had been draining his body every day without any supplementation. It was normal to have some deficit.
Fortunately, he noticed early. If this continued, a little more time might damage the foundation of his body.
Thinking about this, he was relieved.
Then he swallowed the entire leaf and opened his eyes.
The leaf instantly turned into a pure stream of energy in his stomach, which was absorbed and refined by his body in an instant.
But this energy was like a drop in the bucket.
It couldn't make up for the deficit in his body at all, but it completely activated his dormant body.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan could clearly feel the thirst signals from his body.
Old Ma saw that Jiang Yuan came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Young master, how is it? It's not poisonous, is it?"
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "It's not poisonous, it's a real spiritual plant."
"That's great!" Old Ma's eyes brightened, "Young master, quickly refine it. An intact spiritual plant is a great opportunity!"
