Chapter 10: Spiritual Herb

"Miss, I can't believe you're getting married in a few months! Do you really want to marry a cripple?"

The maid, Xia Dongling, said while looking at her beautiful young lady, she couldn't believe that such a woman would marry a crippled man with no cultivation, that was inconceivable even for a maid like her.

"Xia Dongling, I already told you this is just to pay off the debt to his parents, it's no use saying anything." An indifferent voice suddenly rang in the ears of the maid, Xia Dongling, as a charming woman came into view of her.

She had a pair of indescribably magnificent eyes, as if the essence of the world was deep inside them. Her two quiet pupils, clear as crystals, were like the glow of a flowing dream, her two black eyebrows thin and curved, like a pair of crescent moons. Her jade skin and creamy face were white as snow in the dim room lights. Her lips were like the most delicate petals in the world and her nose was the finest carved white jade, tall and proud with an innate nobility. Her soft, glossy black hair fell softly behind her shoulders.

Her figure was wonderfully moving and delicate in the extreme. Looking from afar, her physique was so graceful it was just too hard to describe. Beneath the long blue skirt, one could dimly see a pair of slender, exquisite legs. Her dress floated in the wake of her slow walk and her jewelry occasionally sparkled on her delicate feminine figure. The perfect arcs of her waist, breasts and buttocks were indescribably beautiful. She radiated an incomparable soul-shaking charm and had a proud look and demeanor that transcended this world.

Why do I feel like something is approaching?No, I must be thinking too much, I have to prepare myself as it won't be long before master arrives. She thought, shaking her head slightly, thinking that she was thinking too much about this feeling, which she shouldn't have because of her cultivation method.

Looking at her beautiful young miss, Xia Dongling couldn't help but sigh helplessly. How could a cripple marry such a beauty? His ancestors are probably jumping out of the grave right now, Xia Dongling thought. Xia Dongling couldn't help but gasp about the supposed cripple who was going to marry her beautiful miss. She was already used to her miss's indifferent attitude, it wasn't something that only happened a few times, but yes, that was how she really was, it also gave her a charm that was sole to her, in other words unique. After coming out of her stupor, she quickly followed her slender miss.

....

"It's about time to get out of this shitty forest," thought Yuan Tianzhu.

Yuan Tianzhu breathed in the forest air, feeling very happy and peaceful. He was really bored of not talking to anyone, after all he was a being with emotions, being alone without having anyone to talk to, clearly he would feel alone even if he wasn't a human.

Yuan Tianzhu didn't know where he was supposed to go, because he didn't even know where he was either, that god didn't even bother to tell him where he was, it pissed him off a little, but what could he do since the milk has already been spilled?

Pah!

Yuan Tianzhu slapped himself twice on his snow-white cheeks, turning them reddened. It was no use standing here complaining, I have to quickly find my way out of this shitty forest before nightfall, Yuan Tianzhu thought.

With that in mind, Yuan Tianzhu began to wander over the sand-filled ground, not as if he cared, the most important thing at that moment was to leave this shitty and haunted like forest and find a civilization in this new world he found himself.

Even knowing that it wouldn't be easy to find the way out of a forest, which you don't even know where it was, let alone where he was at that moment in that great forest.

After walking for a few hours, Yuan Tianzhu felt dissatisfied with his own travel speed, he felt it was too slow, he should be faster if he wanted to get out of the forest before nightfall.

With that thought in mind, Yuan Tianzhu opted to use the Steps of the Thunder Dragon, his body immediately filled with black lightning around him, taking a step and traveling ten miles away. Noting his speed, Yuan Tianzhu was quite pleased and continued just as quickly as he needed to get out of the forest before nightfall, he already felt goose bumps on his scalp just walking in that shitty and haunted like forest.

When he was running through the forest with his Steps of the Thunder Dragon, he suddenly heard sounds of battle, amazed and surprised, he decided after a long time of reflection, see who it is why they were fighting, maybe if they were some humans they could saying where the exit from this forest was located and that would be faster and more efficient than searching for himself without even knowing where it was.

He kept running, climbing and running over trees so as not to be discovered by profound beasts, not like if he stayed in the trees he would be free of being discovered, even though the chances of that happening were slim, Yuan Tianzhu chose to be cautious. Along the way he could hear more and more the sounds of battle, making his heart flutter with excitement. I can finally get out of this fucking haunted like forest!

However, when he reached the source where the sounds drifted, his face immediately darkened like a withered flower. What the fuck! I was so excited to see a fight between a red leopard and a three-eyed panther profound beast!

Yuan Tianzhu's red blooded eyes glowed brightly, it looked like he would murder anyone in his path, while his body would shudder furiously, his veins almost burst because of so much fury he couldn't take it out, because that red leopard and the three-eyed panther were true profound beasts, a great realm above him, not something he could defy just because he was furious!

However, when he saw why these profound beasts of that level were fighting each other, his red blooded eyes glowed brightly.

Foundation Consolidating Herb!

That's right, the True Profound Beasts were fighting for a spiritual herb! Yuan Tianzhu was quite surprised to see a spiritual herb in this world, let alone a Foundation Consolidating Herb, as with the information he had in his mind, he could tell that there were no spiritual herbs in this world, but medicinal plants.

It may just be two different names, but the effects of the herbs could be quite different, for example a poison-type spiritual herb could be a healing-type medicinal plant here in this world in which he found himself.

Foundation Consolidating Herb was the main ingredient to refine the Golden Consolidating Pill! The Golden Consolidating Pill served to consolidate the cultivator foundation, something Yuan Tianzhu was needing, as he had broke through several levels at once, he was afraid it would affect his foundation, that's why he had to get that herb at all cost!

Yuan Tianzhu decided not to make too many sudden moves, as those true profound beasts could easily detect him, he decided to wait for these true profound beasts to kill each other so that he could reap the fruits without having to sow them. So, he decided to watch the fight between those true profound beasts very well and wait for the right moment to attack and harvest that Foundation Consolidating Herb.

The Bloodthirsty Red Leopard was red as fresh blood, its acrimonious fur followed the breeze of the wind like fire, its claws looked quite sharp as a sword, after all it was a 7th level True Profound Beast.

The Three-Eyed Panther, who was also a 7th level True Profound Beast, was pitch black, its fur looked quite soft as a field breeze, its face was contorted with rage as it exchanged fierce blows with the Bloodthirsty Red leopard.

Yuan Tianzhu immediately saw the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard raising its right paw, striking the Three-Eyed Panther's chest.

The Three-Eyed Panther, seeing the vicious attack of the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard, responded immediately by jumping back six feet, but it wasn't fast enough as the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard's attack tore into its eyes, staining them scarlet red.

The Three-Eyed Panther immediately screamed in pain as blood ran down its face, making it impossible for it to see from its left side. However, the Three-Eyed Panther was a profound beast, with this painful attack it suffered, it lost itself in the rage and went into a state of total frenzy and unconsciously launched itself at the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard.

Bloodthirsty Red Leopard wasn't a vegetarian, seeing the Three-Eyed Panther surrendering with open arms to King Yama, how could it not accept the cow surrendering to be slaughtered? Without further ado, the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard opened its mouth, while an orange and reddish light appeared in its mouth, illuminating every place where they were.

At the speed of light, a ball of flame fifteen times the size of a normal soccer ball shot out of the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard's mouth, burning everything around it as if it had been exposed to oil.

The Three-Eyed Panther didn't have time to dodge when the fireball engulfed it in full, burning its exteriors and interiors horribly.

There, hiding in a tree Yuan Tianzhu shivered slightly, if it were a normal beast it would probably have been incinerated alive with no chance of screaming in pain! If in a profound beast's body was already so terrifying, imagine in the body of a human? That thought made shivers run through Yuan Tianzhu's scalp.

Yuan Tianzhu shook his head, it was no use thinking about it, it was his chance to kill the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard, as he had used that technique after an uphill fight, surely he would have most of its profound strenght reserve depleted.

Profound force was guided into Yuan Tianzhu's right arm as he curled his fists, while golden scales appeared on his arm, quickly spreading across his right arm like a plague, his right arm was encircled by a golden flame that made with that the temperature of the surroundings drastically dropped.

Disappearing in tiny particles of black ightning, Yuan Tianzhu suddenly appeared behind the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard who had its guard down after killing the Three-Eyed Panther.

Yuan Tianzhu immediately struck with all his strength, even though it was a wounded true profound beast, Yuan Tianzhu didn't dare underestimate it, who knows if it didn't save some profound strength to protect itself.

The Bloodthirsty Red Leopard was stunned by Yuan Tianzhu's sudden appearance, but its surprise was short-lived when a heavy punch landed on its skull, splitting it into pieces, while a blood bomb exploded in Yuan Tianzhu's face, staining him of blood as if it were a picturesque painting.

Yuan Tianzhu didn't care about that, as soon as he verified that the Bloodthirsty Red Leopard had died, he immediately moved towards the Foundation Consolidating Herb, looking at the spiritual herb he had gone to so much trouble to obtain, the red blooded eyes of Yuan Tianzhu glowed with happiness.

ROARRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Just as he was about to take possession of the Foundation Consolidating Herb, a raging dragon roar rang in his ears, nearly blasting his eardrums to smithereens.

"Who dares to remove the medicinal herb that this king has waited so long to ripen?!"

"Oh, Fuck!..." shouted Yuan Tianzhu with a pale face.
