Ye Feng sat in front of the tree trunk bearing Jian Chen's sword mark, comprehending the sword's intent the mark possessed.
Ye Feng was advancing his sword intent by leaps and bounds. The air around him was flickering in an orange glow, and it was whistling.
If Jian Chen witnessed this, he would be shocked, as he had never witnessed anyone improve their sword intent so quickly.
_______
with Jian Chen
Jian Chen was sitting in front of the waterfall, close to the cave where Ye Feng and Fu were staying.
Jian Chen retrieved the cleansing marrow pill bottle that Ye Feng had given him from his space belt and started examining it.
"It is time for me to eliminate the hidden danger and stabilize my foundation. These pills are the perfect tools to help me do that. I read about those pills; they are quite rare. I don't know from where Ye Feng got his hands on them." Jian Chen thought for a few minutes, then shrugged his shoulders. "Regardless, I should be grateful to him for sharing these pills with me."
Jian Chen extracted one cleansing marrow pill from the bottle and swallowed it.
After a few moments, he experienced a burning sensation throughout his entire body, and his body began to expel a black, oily liquid, indicating the presence of impurities within his body.
Jian Chen noticed the hidden danger inside his body was weakening considerably; he was overjoyed at the result.
He then swallowed another cleansing marrow pill and continued working on eliminating his hidden danger.
________
with Fu and Ming Dong
Fu and Ming Dong arrived at the secluded cave where Ye Feng and Fu were temporarily staying.
When he saw Ye Feng sitting in front of a big tree, Fu raised his eyebrows in confusion. He and Ming Dong saw the air around Ye Feng flickering in an orange glow.
Fu and Ming Dong sensed the air around Ye Feng was extremely sharp, akin to a sword capable of cutting through anything in its path.
Fu walked to Ye Feng, and Ming Dong followed him.
Fu then said to Ye Feng, "Brother Feng, I am back; you will not believe what I found in the forest."
Ye Feng turned his head. He saw Fu and Ming Dong. He raised his eyebrows when he saw Ming Dong and asked Fu, "Fu, Who is this guy?"
Fu did not respond to Ye Feng's question. Instead, he smirked mischievously and summoned the silver-striped golden snake corpse from his space ring. When Ye Feng saw the corpse, he lost control of his emotions and yelled loudly in shock, "Holy sh*t, this is the silver-striped golden snake." "I can't believe it, and based on how big this snake is, I guess it is a rank four monster beast."
Ming Dong was surprised at how knowledgeable Ye Feng was.
Fu nodded his head happily and said, "You're right, brother Feng, this snake was very troublesome to deal with."
Ye Feng chuckled, then looked at Ming Dong and asked Fu, "You didn't answer my question, Fu. Who is this guy you brought with you?"
Fu rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and he introduced Ye Feng to Ming Dong: "His name is Ming Dong, brother Feng; he was the one who found the silver-striped golden snake first, and he was fighting the snake before me. "I made a deal with him, and that deal was that I would heal all of his injuries and give him the silver-striped golden snake monster core, and in return, he must give me the snake corpse."
Ye Feng nodded his head at Ming Dong and extended his hand to him.
Fu then spoke to Ming Dong. "Ming Dong, this is Ye Feng, my best friend and my sworn brother."
Ming Dong smiled, and he shook hands with Ye Feng. Then he said to him, "Nice to meet you, Ye Feng."
Ye Feng smiled at Ming Dong and nodded his head, then told him, "Nice to meet you too, Ming Dong."
Fu then took out one radiant saint pill bottle from his space ring and gave it to Ming Dong. He then informed Ming Dong, "This bottle contains rank three radiant saint pills." These pills will help you make full recovery."
Ming Dong's eyes widened in shock when he heard this and said, "These pills are so rare; how did you get them?"
With an arrogant smirk, Fu said, "We have our ways because I am and brother Feng are awesome."
Ming Dong sweat dropped when he heard this, and Ye Feng chuckled in amusement when he heard this. He then said to Ming Dong, "You can use the cave to heal peacefully there. You don't need to worry about any monster beasts, because I will be cultivating here."
Ming nodded his head and thanked both Fu and Ye Feng, then he walked towards the cave.
Fu turned his head to Ye Feng and asked, "Brother Feng, how can I gain the special physique from using the silver-striped golden snake corpse?" I remember back in the academy, teacher Li said in his lecture that by using the silver-striped golden snake corpse, someone can gain a special physique that is immune to most poisons."
Ye Feng acknowledged with a nod, "You're correct, I've read about a unique physique known as the Thousand Immunity physique." By gaining this physique, you will be immune to most poisons. To gain this physique, you will need to absorb the blood and essence of the silver-striped golden snake, then refine them."
When Fu heard this, he smiled widely. However, Ye Feng told him, "Fu, you should wait until we are in Wake City before you try to refine the silver-striped golden snake to gain the Thousand Immunity physique."
Fu frowned when he heard this and asked, "Why?"
Ye Feng sighed and started explaining, "We don't have any barrels." How are you going to absorb the blood and essence of the silver-striped golden snake?"
When Fu heard this, he widened his eyes in realization, sighed in disappointment, and stored the silver-striped golden snake corpse back in his space ring.
Fu then asked Ye Feng, "Brother Feng, is Jian Chen in the cave?"
Ye Feng was shocked and said, "No, he is cultivating near the waterfall, Fu. Can you make some food? I am hungry."
Fu nodded He summoned a couple of monster beast corpses, and he started grilling the monster beasts.
_________
with Ming Dong
Ming Dong entered the cave and sat on the ground, cross-legged. He took the silver-striped golden snake monster core and gently placed it on the ground before him. He placed it next to the bottle of Radiant Saint pills that Fu had just given him.
With a smile on his face, he thought to himself, "I am confident that with the silver-striped golden snake monster core, I will successfully breakthrough into the great saint master realm." I am really lucky that I met Fu in the forest. I might have lost the silver-striped corpse, but I am still alive, and that is what matters."
Ming Dong then glanced at the bottle of radiant saint pills and grabbed it. He extracted one pill from the bottle and swallowed it.
Ming Dong's injuries began to heal at a noticeable rate as a radiant white light enveloped his entire body.
Ming Dong started swallowing one pill after another and healing his injuries. After one hour, Ming Dong recovered completely from all his injuries.
________
After two weeks
With Jian chen
Jian Chen arrived again in front of the waterfall and smiled, "It took me only two weeks to eliminate the hidden danger, and my foundation became very solid now. The time had finally come for me to breakthrough into the great saint master realm."
Jian Chen summoned all the rank 1, 2, 3, and 4 monster cores he possessed and placed them before him. He then sighed, saying, "The Azure and Purple glow in my Dantian absorbed most of the energy from the monster cores. Whenever I use them to cultivate, I am confident that with this many cores, I will successfully breakthrough into the great saint master realm."
Jian Chen then started absorbing the monster cores one by one to make his breakthrough into the great saint master realm.
