Humanity’s Great Sage

ld not hold back and burst out laughing…

He walked past her and glared at her fiercely.
At first, he thought that riding a tiger would be a pleasurable experience.
However, the first day of his travels immediately taught him how naive he was.
The main reason was that the friction had chafed his thighs so badly that it was unbearable.
He was certain that his inner thighs were currently a bloody mess.
Furthermore, he could still remember the bumpy feeling of riding on the tiger’s back.
Forget about cultivating while riding, it was a miracle he didn’t fall off during the journey.

“You’ll get used to it,” she called out from behind him.

Walking into the natural depression, he nodded in satisfaction.
This was a great place to rest.
There were traces of a bonfire that had burnt out inside the depression.
It appeared to have been left by the travellers before them.

He rested for a while before he got up to gather some firewood and started a fire.
Then, he took out a section of the snake’s body, peeled the skin, cleaned out the innards, and sliced off a chunk of snake meat that was approximately 10 kilograms.
As for the rest, he tossed them to the tiger.
The tiger held several kilograms of snake meat between its paws and feasted on the meat, enjoying itself immensely.

The fire danced; a fragrance gradually permeated the air; hot oil splattered on the fire and made crackling sounds.
While roasting the snake meat, Lu Ye took out one of the Barrier Penetrating Fruits from his Storage Bag and motioned to Yi Yi.

Yi Yi looked at him suspiciously.

“There were two fruits.
I’m splitting it equally between us,” he explained.

She shook her head in response.
“This is only useful for you.
Both Amber and I are unable to use it.
You can keep it for yourself.”

He mulled over it for a bit before asking, “Does Amber eat Spirit Pills?”

She nodded.
“It also eats Spirit Stones.”

He was shocked to hear that.
“It can also eat Spirit Stones!?”

She explained, “Spirit Stones are the condensation of Spiritual Qi.
All Spirit Beasts can consume them.
Only Humans can’t since they can’t refine the Spirit Stones.”

He learned a lot from their conversation.
No wonder Yi Yi and the tiger began asking for Spirit Stones when they failed to get Spirit Pills from him during their attempt to rob him back then.

“Then… your share of the fruit will be converted into Spirit Pills…” He looked a little embarrassed.
“But, I don’t know how much these fruits are worth.”

She pursed her lips into a smile.
“Just give whatever you like.
Currently, Amber only needs two Spirit Pills a day.”

“That’s not much.”

The snake meat was soon cooked.
He sprinkled some salt to taste and began wolfing it down.
All of a sudden, he raised his head and glanced at her.
She was staring at him wistfully.
Thus, he handed the snake meat in his hand to her.
“Do you want some?”

She shook her head.
“I can’t eat.”

Afterward, he continued to eat.
The snake meat was truly very nourishing.
After wolfing down several kilograms of the snake meat, he felt warmth spreading throughout his body.
He was filled with energy.
Even the flow of his Spiritual Power seemed to be faster.

While refining his vitality into Qi, he took out his knife and walked over to the open space beside them.
He took off his shirt, revealing his supple upper body.
Then, he began making chopping motions in the air with a serious expression.

His previous battle with the fair-skinned man had shown him that his combat skills were a mess.
He could improve his cultivation by consuming Spirit Pills, but Spirit Pills were useless for things like combat skills.

Seeing as there was nobody who could teach him, he could only think of a simple idea.
And, that was to keep slashing and chopping away methodically.
He did not know if this method would work, but it was the only idea he could come up with.
In the future, he would surely meet more and more powerful enemies.
If he were to fight them personally, both his cultivation and combat skills would be indispensable.

Under the moonlight, the young man earnestly slashed away with sweat dripping down his back.
Not far away, a snow-white tiger lay on the ground and slept soundly with a hazy white light lingering around its body.
A black-haired girl sat with her arms around her knees, watching the young man quietly.
With the full moon hanging high in the sky as the background, it made a beautiful picture.
