Chapter 12, The Advantages of the Human Body Secret Realm Method [New book, please read!]
The outer area of the Monster Mountain Range.
The nearby trees began to thin out.
The terrain gradually became flatter, and even the stench of monsters in the air faded considerably.
This means it's approaching the boundaries of human activity.
At this moment, a third-tier demonic flame wolf was lying in wait behind a pile of rocks thirty feet away.
It was nearly three zhang long, its dark red scales gleaming with a metallic sheen in the morning light, its spinal spikes protruding outwards, and sparks flickering between its mouth and nose.
This magical beast was resting within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, but it was awakened not long ago by a pure, almost pungent, spiritual energy.
This unique scent is unlike any other prey in the Monster Mountains.
It was like some kind of rare and precious treasure, or like some kind of flesh and blood that I had never tasted before.
Su Ye had already sensed the violent fluctuations of battle aura from a hundred feet away.
Under his divine sense, the Demon Flame Wolf had nowhere to hide.
A third-tier magical beast does not pose much of a threat to him.
Su Ye remained calm and continued walking, even deliberately releasing more spiritual energy.
Since we're going to test the knife anyway, why not let it come to us?
With its prey right in front of it, the lowly Demon Flame Wolf could no longer contain itself.
With a powerful kick of its hind legs, it streaked out like a dark red blur amidst the flying debris.
Then it opened its gaping maw, spewing out a blazing pillar of fire that shot straight toward Su Ye.
Su Ye did not dodge, but instead channeled his divine power and struck out with his palm. The attack of the Demon Flame Wolf instantly dissipated under the divine power of the Nine Yang Scripture.
Immediately afterwards, his right palm, imbued with divine power, struck out with a movement so simple it was almost casual, the powerful palm striking the side of the Demon Flame Wolf's head.
Half of the Demon Flame Wolf's head was smashed by a single palm strike, and its massive body crashed to the ground.
The embers of fire in the huge wolf's mouth were still burning when it exhaled its last breath and died completely.
From the sneak attack to death, it took less than three breaths.
The moment he killed the Demon Flame Wolf, Su Ye activated the Nine Yang Scripture, drawing a wisp of pure battle qi energy from the Demon Flame Wolf's still-dissipating body and incorporating it into his Bitter Sea.
This energy was converted from the third-tier fire-attribute magic core inside the Demon Flame Wolf.
It is completely different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Shrouding the Sky system, and has a clear "fire attribute tendency", which is unusually violent and frenzied.
Compared to the spiritual energy in "Covering the Sky," the battle qi in "Battle Through the Heavens" is far too low-level, but it has the advantage of extremely high purity of a single attribute.
This gave Su Ye a preliminary assessment.
Cultivators in this realm specialize in developing a single or dual attribute, following a path similar to Qi cultivation compared to the cultivation system in Shrouding the Heavens.
The Secret Realm Method is neither simply about physical training nor simply about cultivating Qi, but rather about "refining oneself."
The human body is viewed as a universe containing endless potential, comparable to heaven and earth, and is explored and cultivated accordingly.
At the same level, the combat power of the Battle Qi system is far weaker than that of the Secret Realm Technique of Shrouding the Sky by one major realm!
In the distance, a girl dressed in a plain white, belted long dress was half-squatting in front of a dark purple herb.
The hoe in her hand froze in mid-air, and she stood there, completely still.
She had originally come alone to collect a herb called Bone-Eating Grass.
This grass only grows in the damp crevices of rocks in this valley, and she sneaked into the mountain before dawn.
She saw Su Ye's battle with the magical beast very clearly.
The third-tier magical beast, the Demon Flame Wolf, possesses flames capable of melting rocks and scales that can withstand the full force of a Grand Master's attack.
Last winter, a ten-man squad of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group encountered a group of Flame Wolves that were hunting in the outer reaches of the Monster Mountain Range, resulting in the complete annihilation of the squad.
At this moment, the third-tier magical beast that had caused the Wolf Head Mercenary Group such a heavy price was lying at the feet of a young boy.
He was swatted to death by that boy with a single palm strike, like swatting a fly.
Her pupils contracted slightly, and her heart almost stopped beating for a moment.
In Qingshan Town, the Dou Shi level is already considered top-tier. Mu She, the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, is a Dou Shi in his thirties.
The boy looked no more than eighteen years old, and his face was so clean that he didn't seem like someone who had ever lived in the Monster Mountain Range.
He wasn't wearing the coarse cloth shorts common in Qingshan Town, nor the leather armor of a mercenary, but a gray-blue Taoist robe.
She had never seen this kind of clothing in the Gama Empire before.
Who is he?
Little Fairy Doctor subconsciously pressed the colorful line on her abdomen.
Calamity-inducing poison.
Her innate poisonous constitution prevented her from cultivating battle qi normally, and the toxins in her body accumulated deeper and deeper, which would eventually backfire on her.
The boy in front of her had what she had always dreamed of.
Strength, talent, and a clean and pure path of cultivation.
Envy and sadness welled up in my heart.
Little Fairy Doctor quickly suppressed her emotions.
A strange young man appeared in the Monster Mountain Range. His purpose was unknown, and his strength was unfathomable. Whether he was friend or foe, no one should make contact with him rashly.
She held her breath, put the hoe back into the cloth bag at her waist, pressed her back against the rock wall, and moved backward under the cover of the bushes.
The movements were extremely light; each step was tested with the toes beforehand, so as not to crush a single dead leaf.
Having spent years gathering herbs alone in the Monster Mountain Range, these skills were earned at the cost of his life.
Every step Little Fairy Doctor took was under the coverage of Su Ye's divine sense.
From beginning to end, from the moment her hoe stopped in mid-air to every step she carefully took backward, even the fine layer of cold sweat seeping from the back of her neck, he saw it all clearly.
Su Ye didn't expose her immediately; he wanted to see how long this girl could remain calm.
Little Fairy Doctor turned around, preparing to disappear into the dense forest behind her.
Su Ye, who was originally standing dozens of feet away beside the corpse of the Demon Flame Wolf, had silently appeared less than three feet in front of her.
She froze completely.
It appeared out of thin air!
At least that's how she sees it.
Little Fairy Doctor felt as if she had been doused with ice water. Her back slammed against the tree trunk, and all the color drained from her face.
Her right hand swiftly pressed onto the brocade pouch at her waist, her fingertips already touching the rope tying the pouch opening.
The brocade pouch contained the "Bewitching Powder" that she had spent two years developing. Its effects were enough to knock out second-tier magical beasts, but its effectiveness against third-tier beasts was greatly reduced.
She had no confidence whatsoever that the young man in front of her could instantly kill a third-tier magical beast.
But this was her only support.
Su Ye's gaze swept over her hand that was pressing the brocade pouch, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
He said with a hint of mockery, "Your sleeping pills and poisons have no effect on me."
"If you take it out, you are choosing to be my enemy."
Su Ye paused, her tone turning cold, and added a sentence.
"Those who lay a hand on me will always pay the price."
There were no threatening words, but each word felt like it was filled with lead, making Little Fairy Doctor's fingertips numb.
The Little Fairy Doctor's hand froze on the brocade pouch, her brain racing.
This young man... had no murderous intent, no lewdness, and no greed in his eyes.
Unlike any of the strangers she had met in the Monster Mountains.
The ferocity of a mercenary, the snobbery of a herb gatherer, and the arrogance of a lone strongman were all absent in him.
That calmness wasn't feigned; it was a genuine indifference that didn't require him to care about anyone.
Looking at Su Ye's handsome and charming face, Little Fairy Doctor inexplicably felt that he might not be a bad person, and loosened her fingers from the rope.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and with her red lips slightly parted, asked, "Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
The vigilance remains, but beneath it lies an added layer—curiosity.
Just as Su Ye was about to answer, the World Tree sapling in the Bitter Sea trembled slightly.
A sense of destiny emanated from Little Fairy Doctor, and the World Tree reacted noticeably to this destiny.
Although it doesn't possess the overwhelming grandeur of Ye Fan's physique, it's still something that ordinary people can't achieve.
What's most peculiar is that this aura is intertwined with a dark "misfortune" aura, entwined with the vibrant vitality, like a venomous snake coiled among the flowers and vines.
Su Ye secretly deduced that near Qingshan Town, there was a stunningly beautiful girl in white, around sixteen or seventeen years old, skilled in poisons, with a special constitution that even the World Tree was touched.
When this combination of punches lands on one person, there's only one answer left.
Su Ye was already 80% confident...
She is Little Fairy Doctor!
The "Heavenly Poison Woman" in the original work, who was burdened with a body of calamity and poison!
However, Xiao Qing did not point it out directly.
Calling someone by their name upon first meeting will only increase their wariness; it's unnecessary.
Establishing contact should be the priority.
Su Ye didn't answer her question, but instead turned his gaze towards the distant Qingshan Town and asked, "Are you from Qingshan Town?"
"You came here alone to gather herbs, aren't you afraid of monsters?"
Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for two breaths.
She judged that the other party was not hostile for the time being, and if he really wanted to fight, he would not need to waste words with his strength.
Little Fairy Doctor hesitated for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Yes."
"The bone-corroding herb only grows in this valley; I need it to make medicine to save lives."
She emphasized the words "rescue people".
Su Ye nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.
He noticed that she deliberately concealed her identity, but he didn't care.
It's abnormal to expect someone to open up completely on the first meeting.
If they can put down their secrets and are willing to talk, that's a good start.
He withdrew his gaze, his tone still calm, but less oppressive: "Su Ye."
"Passing through the Monster Mountain Range, on our way to Green Mountain Town."
The name has been given, and the direction has been given.
Whether you believe it or not is up to you.
When Little Fairy Doctor heard the unfamiliar name "Su Ye" and the words "is on his way to Qingshan Town," her vigilance lessened somewhat.
A person with a name and a destination is much safer than a mysterious expert of unknown origin.
Little Fairy Doctor stared at him for a few moments.
The boy's profile was clearly defined in the morning light.
The sleeves of the Taoist robe swayed gently in the mountain breeze.
Standing there, he seemed completely out of place in the rugged and dangerous environment of the Monster Mountain Range, yet he didn't appear fragile at all.
After hesitating for a while, Little Fairy Doctor finally straightened up from the tree trunk.
"It takes half a day to get from here to Qingshan Town by mountain road."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "There's a shortcut that avoids going around two mountains."
Su Ye glanced at her.
"Let's go."
He didn't ask her why she wanted to lead the way, and Little Fairy Doctor didn't ask him what he wanted to do in Qingshan Town.
Little Fairy Doctor shouldered her medicine basket and took a step forward.
She still had a hundred questions in her mind.
Who is he?
Which family's young master is he?
Which sect's disciple?
Why did it appear in the Monster Mountain Range?
But for now, these questions can only be kept to themselves.
