Ye Feng carried the young man he found in the forest on his back while he walked back to the cave he is staying at with Fu.
Fu, who was practicing the axe-shattering mountain cultivation method in front of the cave, saw Ye Feng walking towards it while carrying the young man on his back.
Fu looked at Ye Feng, who was walking towards him while carrying the young man, and asked him, "Brother Feng, who is the guy you are carrying?"
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know who this guy is. I never met him before. I decided to heal him to get some answers out of him."
Fu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What answers?"
Ye Feng sighed and told Fu, "Before returning from the forest, I felt a familiar sensation calling out to me in the forest. I followed this familiar sensation, and I discovered that it was emanating from this guy, which confused me even more because I had never met this guy before."
Fu was also surprised and confused when he heard Ye Feng's explanation, because he knew that Ye Feng never made up stories.
After Ye Feng and Fu entered the cave, Ye Feng laid the young man gently on the ground and took out a bottle of radiant pills from his space ring. He was going to feed the pills to the young man, but Fu interrupted Ye Feng.
"Brother Feng I will feed this guy the radiant saint pills and help him heal. You need to start healing your left shoulder. Your shoulder injury is quite deep."
Ye Feng considered what Fu had just said, then glanced at his left shoulder, which had been pierced by a lightning beam during his battle with the golden horn cat monster beast. His shoulder was in extremely poor condition.
Ye Feng smiled warmly at Fu. He tossed the pill bottle to Fu. He then sat in the corner of the cave, crossed-legged on the ground, and summoned another radiant saint pill bottle from his space ring.
Looking at the bottle of radiant saint pills, Ye Feng thought, "Now is a good time for me to test the effectiveness of rank 5 radiant saint pills."
Ye Feng took one pill from the bottle and swallowed it; the pill immediately melted in his mouth. Then, with incredible speed, a bright, radiant white light coated Ye Feng's entire body and started healing his left shoulder.
Fu was surprised when he saw how bright the radiant white light covering Ye Feng's entire body was. "Brother Feng must have swallowed a rank 5 radiant saint pill that he told me about."
Fu then turned his head to look at the young man Ye Feng had brought, and began feeding him the radiant saint pills from the bottle Ye Feng had just given him.
The young man's entire body was bathed in a bright, radiant white light, revealing to Fu that his condition was truly dire. He then thought to himself, "This guy is truly in a very bad shape; his right leg and arm are broken, and he also has a couple of broken ribs."

It only took Ye Feng a few minutes to fully heal; he was amazed at how powerful the effect of this radiant pill was. It was way more powerful than any radiant pill he used before.
Ye Feng then stood up, walked to Fu, and said to him, "Move a side, Fu; I will heal this guy."
Fu was confused but nodded to Ye Feng. He moved aside and was shocked when Ye Feng took out another rank 5 radiant saint pill and fed it to the young man.
"Brother Feng, are you insane?" You gave him a rank 5 radiant saint pill," Fu said to Ye Feng in shock, but Ye Feng simply shrugged and replied, "He is badly injured, and we need to leave this forest as soon as possible and find a city so we can cultivate in peace." I need to find a quiet place where I can make my breakthrough into the Earth Saint Master realm. I cannot afford to take the risk of making my breakthrough in this forest. The sooner I heal this guy, the quicker I receive my answers, and the faster we depart from this forest."
After considering Ye Feng's statement, Fu nodded his head and sighed, "I understand what you mean, but you told me these pills are very rare, and you are wasting them on him."
Ye Feng nodded and said, "That is fine; it is his good fortune." Let's not waste any more time arguing, Fu."
Fu sighed but nodded his head, and Ye Feng fed the pill to the young man. The pill quickly melted in his mouth, and the bright white radiant glow coated the young man's entire body. The young man's arm and leg began to heal along with his broken ribs with incredible speed. He was also regaining his consciousness.
_______
When the young man saw Fu and Ye Feng, his eyes widened with surprise. He was even more shocked to discover that a powerful, radiant saint energy was covering him, causing him to heal incredibly quickly.
When Ye Feng saw the young man regain his consciousness and look in surprise at them, he said to the young man, "Calm down; we are healing you; we don't have any malicious intent towards you."
The young man thought about what Ye Feng just said for a second and nodded his head. He then said to Ye Feng and Fu, "Thank you for saving me. I thought I was going to die."
Ye Feng smiled and nodded. Fu also gave the young man a small smile.
When the young man had fully recovered after 30 minutes, Fu and Ye Feng sat on the ground across from him.
Ye Feng looked at the young man and said, "I am sure you have questions, but let me introduce myself and my friend first because I have questions for you too."
When he heard this, the young man was surprised, but he nodded to both Ye Feng and Fu. Ye Feng then said to him, "My name is Ye Feng, and the big guy next to me is my best friend, Fu."
The young man nodded and smiled, "My name is Jian chen. Thank you for saving me, Ye Feng, Fu."
Both of them nodded, and Ye Feng said, "To be honest with you, I decided to save you out of curiosity."
Jian chen was surprised and asked Ye Feng, "What do you mean?"
Ye Feng then started explaining to Jian chen, "After fighting a monster beast deep in the forest, I felt a familiar sensation calling out to me. I followed it, and I discovered it was coming from you. However, I had never met you before, and this confused me, so I decided to heal you and ask about the sensation I felt emanating from you."
Jian chen narrowed his eyes in confusion and thought, "Could it be he sensed the Azure and purple glow that fused with my saint weapon? How is this possible? No, he didn't. He said he felt a familiar sensation. Could it be that we knew each other in my previous life?"
Jian chen looked at Ye Feng carefully and shocked his head. He then said to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, I'm sure this is our first time meeting each other. I am unsure about the sensation you felt."
Ye Feng sighed and nodded, then Fu said to Ye Feng, "You must have imagined that familiar sensation that you felt, brother Feng."
After considering what Fu had said, Ye Feng shrugged and said, "I am certain that the familiar sensation originated from Jian chen, but there's no need to linger on it as Jian chen had no response to my question."
Fu nodded his head, then asked Ye Feng, "Alright, but you said we should leave the forest and go to a city to focus on cultivating. Which city should we go to?"
When Jian chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I will be happy to escort you guys to Wake City."
Both Fu and Ye Feng looked at Jian chen in surprise, and Fu asked him, "Wake city?"
Jian Chen nodded. "Wake City is the ideal place to focus on cultivation; it is a small city, and there is a small forest nearby. You can hunt monster beasts and obtain their monster cores."
When Ye Feng heard this, he smiled and said, "That is perfect, but is there a Merchant Association branch in Wake City?"
Jian chen thought of the question for a moment, then shocked his head. "To be honest with you, I am not sure, but there is a Mercenary Union branch in Wake City."
Ye Feng nodded his head and said, "This is perfect; we will go to Wake City with you. Thank you for helping us, Jian chen."
Jian chen smiled and nodded. "You save my life. This is the least I can do for both of you. However, I have a request."
Fu and Ye Feng raised their eyebrows, and Ye Feng asked, "What is your request?"
Jian chen said, "I need you to wait for me to breakthrough to the great saint master realm. I need mainly a month to completely eliminate the hidden danger and successfully breakthrough to the great saint master realm."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng nodded his head to Jian chen. He then took out a pill bottle from his space ring and tossed it to Jian chen, stating, "This is a cleansing marrow pill bottle." These pills will help you eliminate the hidden danger and solidify your foundation."
Jian chen widened his eyes in shock when he heard what Ye Feng said to him. Then he looked at Ye Feng and said, "I can't accept these pills from you; they are very precious."
When they heard what Jian chen had said, Ye Feng and Fu smiled at him. "I need to go to Wake City in order to break into the earth saint master realm; it would be unwise for me to make my breakthrough in this forest," Ye Feng then informed Jian chen.
Jian chen was surprised to hear that Ye Feng was planning to make his breakthrough to the earth saint master realm, and Ye Feng continued, "With the help of cleansing marrow pills, you will be able to breakthrough to the great saint master realm in a few weeks." You don't need to worry about food or anything else; just focus on breaking through to the great saint master realm. The faster you make the breakthrough, the quicker we leave the forest."
Jian chen smiled at Ye Feng and nodded to him, then Fu and Ye Feng exited the cave.

with Ye Feng and Fu
After Ye Feng and Fu exited the cave, Fu looked at him and asked, "Brother Feng, did you bring any monster beast corpses with you? We ran out of food."
Ye Feng was surprised when he heard this and said, "No, I thought we still had enough food."
Fu sighed and said, "That is fine. I will go and hunt some monster beasts; it is a good way for me to master my axe cultivation method."
Fu then turned around and walked away to hunt monster beasts.
After Fu disappeared from Ye Feng's sight, he closed his eyes and began to meditate.
"I finally stabilized my cultivation. I don't have to worry about hidden danger because I relied on the energy I absorbed in the Asura Sword Spirit World to enhance my cultivation, which is pure and gentle, unlike the energy from the monster-beast cores, which has a violent nature."
"I will solidify my foundation when I arrive in Wake City. For the time being, I will begin cultivating another sword cultivation method since I already mastered the Azure Heart Sutra Sword Arts."
After reaching a decision, Ye Feng removed all the sword cultivation methods from his space ring and began examining each one to determine which cultivation method he should start cultivating.
Numerous sword cultivation methods were in front of him. He was actively examining each of these cultivation methods. All of these cultivation methods interested him, but he couldn't decide which one he should start cultivating.
Abruptly, his gaze fell upon a blue scroll. He picked up the scroll and read the title, "Melody Sword Cultivation Method."
Ye Feng raised his eyebrows in interest, then he opened the scroll and started reading the cultivation method.
"The Melody sword cultivation method focuses on the sword rhythm, just like music has different rhythms. "Swordsmanship also has different rhythms."
"The Melody Sword Cultivation Method comprises five layers: the slow sword rhythm, the rapid sword rhythm, the heavy sword rhythm, the soft sword rhythm, and the flexible sword rhythm."
Ye Feng began carefully reading through the first layer of the Melody cultivation method. After memorizing it, he summoned his saint weapon (the blood dragon fang) and started practicing the first layer of the cultivation method.
As Ye Feng wielded his saint weapon (the blood dragon fang), he focused solely on practicing the first layer of the cultivation method, in accordance with the cultivation method's instructions.
While practicing the cultivation method, he forgot his surroundings and swung his saint weapon (the blood dragon fang) in a very slow rhythm.
Ye Feng didn't notice that the air around him started to whistle loudly again, just like when he first comprehended the sword intent.
Ye Feng's saint weapon (the blood dragon fang) was glowing purple due to his unconsciously applied sword intent. However, each time Ye Feng swung his saint weapon, it flickered between purple and orange.

With Jian chen
While Jian chen was cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the loud whistle sound of Ye Feng's sword intent. Jian chen was surprised. He thought to himself, "This is a sword intent. No doubt about it. However, the intent is weak. Who is using the sword intent?"
Jian chen emerged from the cave, curious and shocked to discover that Ye Feng was the source of the sword intent.
He watched Ye Feng's swordsmanship carefully and noticed Ye Feng's saint weapon was flickering from purple to orange constantly. Jian chen smiled when he saw this: "He is touching the second stage of the sword intent."
Jian chen then noticed Ye Feng's expression; he looked like he was lost in his own world, which shocked him. "This guy is fortunate to have reached the state of enlightenment." In my previous life, I learned about this state. It is so rare that only a few have ever experienced enlightenment."
Jian chen looked at Ye Feng in envy and started remembering what was said about enlightenment: "According to the old man, enlightenment can only be experienced through luck; the enlightenment state could last for hours and days; no one knows how long one could stay in the state of enlightenment."
"According to the old man in the ancient records, someone was meditating on top of the mountain for years when he entered the state of enlightenment. After he woke up from the state of enlightenment, he created a hole in the sky with his bare hand, then he entered the hole and disappeared; no one saw him ever again after that."
"The old man also said the state of enlightenment doesn't require talent; it requires a faithful and pure heart towards cultivation and luck."
Suddenly, Jian chen noticed Ye Feng's swordsmanship became smoother and was improving at an incredible speed. Jian chen also noticed that the whistling sound in the air had become louder, and Ye Feng's saint weapon was glowing orange instead of flickering like before.
When Jian chen noticed this, he smirked and thought to himself, "He comprehended the second stage of the sword intent."Things are really interesting. I wonder if me and him will become rivals in the future."
Jian chen sat on the ground, cross-legged, closed his eyes, and started cultivating.
