Sage of Humanity
The weak cry out with all their might, yet no one cares; The strong whisper softly, yet their words penetrate deeply into the heart.

Chapter 32 Big Tiger
By the remnants of a fire that had burned out, Lu Ye was feasting heartily on a big snake. It was over ten feet long and thick as an arm. The snake meat was fine, white, and tender, leaving a lingering fragrance on his lips.
It had been half a month since his supply of elixir pills was exhausted. Naturally, his progress in cultivation wasn't as good as before, but it was a bit better than he had expected. According to his current pace, he would be able to break through the barrier of the 9th Spiritual Orifice in another month.
