At that moment, Su Ming was far away from Fang Mu and was charging through the rainforest. His expression was as calm as ever, and not a single hint of emotion could be detected on his face. However, he was incredibly cautious in his heart. If there was even the slightest movement around him, he would immediately notice it.
In truth, he did not notice Fang Mu's father following him. His words and actions were all to prevent any trouble from happening. He had run into something similar when he was in Dark Mountain. He only saw Si Kong. He did not expect that a member of his tribe with such status would be able to chase after him under the watchful eyes of the powerful Berserkers after he caused such a huge commotion. After the incident, the elder pointed him out and reminded him of the things he had overlooked. But that was in Dark Mountain. With the elder watching over him, the danger was not great.
Yet now, in this unfamiliar environment, without the elder's protection, he had to rely on himself. He could not afford to make any mistakes.
He may not have noticed anyone following behind Fang Mu, but there were many suspicious points. With Su Ming's intelligence, a few months was enough for him to analyze everything thoroughly.
For a youth at the fifth level of Blood Condensation who was injured, how could he come to this rainforest by himself in just a few months' time? Furthermore, he had been completely safe each time. Even if he wanted to do this, his family would definitely have sensed it and secretly followed him. That was understandable.
Also, the boy's injuries had improved slightly and he had been kidnapped by Su Ming. Even if the boy did not say anything, the tribe members who had followed him into the rainforest would have reported it.
All these clues made it easy for Su Ming to guess that there was someone following Fang Mu, and that person's goal was to find him. It was because of this that Su Ming decided to wait for a few months before moving forward at a moderate pace.
The boy's gift of the blade and the extraordinary nature of the blade made Su Ming even more certain that Tranquil East Tribe was not a small tribe, but a middle-sized tribe. The boy's high status in this tribe made it impossible for him to come alone.
Su Ming was certain that there was someone observing him from afar. The reason why they did not act rashly was because when Su Ming took the blade, he used the souls of the Wings of the Moon to activate the power of fire, giving others the illusion that he had Transcended.
Besides, when he stepped on the souls of the Wings of the Moon, he used fine control to leave a mark on the tree and said that he had 15 breaths. His actions would be seen as a warning.
What Su Ming wanted was precisely this sort of warning that would make people hesitate. After all, the prerequisite for all of this was for the youth's injuries to gradually recover. Under this premise, he would have the complete initiative. Coupled with his unpredictable cultivation, he would be able to increase the youth's safety to a sufficient degree.
Su Ming's expression was calm. He did not immediately return to the cave. Instead, he walked around the area a few times, and only when the sky turned completely dark and the moon hung high in the sky did he return to the cave after he was certain that no one was following him.
Su Ming sat down cross-legged in the cave and swung his right hand forward. Immediately, some invisible souls of the Wings of the Moon spread out and surrounded the entrance of the cave. During the past year, he had been using this method to prevent any accidents from happening.
"If everything goes smoothly, it will soon be time for me to leave this place." A contemplative look appeared in Su Ming's eyes as he sat there. Once he thought about his previous actions carefully, he immersed himself in the circulation of his Qi. Gradually, a blood-red light shone on his body.
This sort of training and healing for a long period of time was boring, and not everyone could endure it. However, Su Ming had gradually gotten used to this sort of life during the past year or so. He was used to being alone in the quiet cave and healing his wounds without a single word.
He continued creating South Asunder and continued taking medicinal pills to heal his injuries, causing the injuries and hidden injuries in his body to slowly recover as time passed by.
A month later, a voice calling out to the senior appeared once again in the rainforest. This time, Su Ming also made the person wait for a few days before he left quietly one night.
Once he healed Fang Mu's injuries, he took back the Cloud Gauze Grass he needed, and at the same time, he asked for the amount of another herb.
Fang Mu's expression was incredibly respectful. He fulfilled almost all of Su Ming's requests and even told Su Ming many of the things that were not considered secrets of the three tribes, allowing Su Ming to have a more complete understanding of them, including the unique Berserker Arts of the three tribes.
After this, the two of them formed a foundation for their trade.
There may be a lot of herbs in the rainforest, but if they were used to create medicinal pills, it would usually be difficult to make all of them. However, with Fang Mu, this problem was solved. Su Ming's speed in creating medicinal pills also slowly increased.
Fang Mu even managed to get quite a lot of Night Glitter Branch from Han Mountain City with his father's tacit consent and gave it to Su Ming as a form of filial piety. The number of times he came to the rainforest also increased. Sometimes, he would even bring a lot of daily necessities, such as clothes that looked extraordinary.
Fang Mu's father was the one who thought of these clothes and reminded Fang Mu to prepare them. He also took into consideration Su Ming's habit of covering his face with the beast skin robe, that was why most of these clothes were the same.
There were three sets in total. The sackcloth clothes could not compare to them.
"Senior Mo, I spent a lot of effort to order these clothes from Han Mountain City. Only the Elder, the tribe leader, and a few other people in the tribe have them." Fang Mu's flattery did indeed make Su Ming's impression of him increase slightly. However, with Su Ming's cautiousness, he still appeared at random times every time Fang Mu came to look for him. He also never told Fang Mu where he lived.
Another half a year passed by in this manner. Su Ming had stayed in the rainforest for two whole years. His injuries had completely recovered a month ago. The moment 243 blood veins manifested, he immediately possessed the power of a seventh level Berserker in the Blood Solidification Realm.
Once Su Ming obtained the complete set of herbs, he created quite a lot of Mountain Spirit. When he ate them, his level of cultivation also started increasing at a steady rate once he recovered.
Now that he had enough medicinal pills, Su Ming fell into deep thought in the cave in the mountain crack. There were two types of medicinal pills in his hands – Mountain Spirit and South Asunder.
There were quite a lot of them. There were about a dozen pills in each of them. Su Ming looked at the medicinal pills in his hands and fell into a moment of silence. Then, a determined look appeared on his face.
'I should go and see what else will appear once I open the second door!' Su Ming put away the medicinal pills and touched the black stone on his neck that had accompanied him all the way to this place.
The mysterious black stone had given Su Ming several types of medicinal pills that allowed his injuries to recover and his level of cultivation to increase. Now, he had all the medicinal pills he needed to open the second door. Su Ming closed his eyes and used the method he used to enter the strange dimension. In the relatively safe cave in the crack, Su Ming's entire body instantly shone with a black light. The black light turned into a dark light and gradually enveloped his entire body. With a violent flash, it disappeared without a trace. Even Su Ming's body disappeared.
It was still the same world that was shrouded in fog. Su Ming soon got used to the darkness. He charged forward in the fog, and gradually, he saw the familiar mountain and the tunnel at the foot of the mountain.
As he looked at the mountain, Su Ming did not make a sound and walked into the tunnel. The pictures around him were still the same. There were no changes. He went through the first door and before long, he arrived at the second door.
Using the method he used to open the first door, Su Ming took a few steps forward and brought out South Asunder and Mountain Spirit from his bosom. He placed them into the small holes on the door.
Once all the medicinal pills were placed into the holes, Su Ming took a few steps back and focused his attention on the door.
All the small holes on the door gradually let out a strong light. As the light spread out, loud rumbling sounds reverberated in the area, turning into a large amount of echoes. Very soon, the second door slowly opened backwards. There was a small crack on the door, but it gradually opened completely. With a loud bang, the tunnel behind the door was revealed.
There was calmness in Su Ming's eyes. He did not act recklessly. Instead, he waited until the door was completely open before he looked inside. The tunnel was slightly red. The walls around him also shone with a red light. It was quiet.
After waiting for a while, Su Ming lifted his feet and slowly walked into the tunnel. He did not rush in immediately, but instead looked at the carvings on the walls around him. They were still carvings of people creating medicinal pills. When Su Ming opened the first door, he noticed that the carvings on the walls seemed to be teaching him the skills of creating medicinal pills. If he could master it, it would be of great help to creating medicinal pills.
He walked forward at a moderate pace and memorized the pictures on the carvings. He did not know how much time had passed, but when the pictures on the carvings were done, a small chamber appeared before him.
The third door was within the chamber.
There was only one picture of a medicinal pill on the door. Su Ming had seen most of the herbs required to create the pill before. His eyes sparkled and he looked at the small holes under the picture of the medicinal pill.
Su Ming, who had already experienced it twice, had already guessed that the number of medicinal pills required to open the doors in the strange Earth Mirror represented the difficulty of creating these medicinal pills through the creation of the three medicinal pills.
The higher the number, the easier it would be.
As he looked at it, Su Ming frowned. There were only two small holes under the picture of the medicinal pill!
'This pill … might be the most difficult to create besides the Welcoming of Deities.' Su Ming frowned and walked forward. He lifted his right hand and pressed it on the door. At that moment, the familiar swelling pain in his head appeared once again. As the door shone brightly, the pictures of Su Ming creating the medicinal pill kept appearing in his head.
After a long while, Su Ming's right hand trembled. It was as if he was bounced back by the force of the land. He took a few steps back and lifted his head. His eyes were filled with shock.
'Spirit Plunder!' Su Ming sucked in a sharp breath. This time, besides the method to create the pill and its name, there was also a description of the pill's effects in his head.
'Seize an Illusory Spirit and put it into this pill. If it disintegrates, it can injure others. If it gathers, it can nourish the soul!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Once he memorized the herbs needed to create Spirit Plunder, he closed his eyes and a complicated look appeared on his face.
"The herbs needed to refine this powder are very …"
I don't need a normal cauldron either. I need to use the body of a person who is about to die as a cauldron. Once I plant the herbs in the cauldron, I can then create it …
'I don't need to use normal fire to create it either. I need to gather the aura of corpses and summon lightning from the sky to create it. I can also avoid the strange phenomenon that will happen once the medicinal pill is created.' Su Ming fell silent for a moment and looked deeply at the stone door before he turned around and walked out.
'It may be difficult to create and the success rate isn't high … but once this pill is created, its power …' The description of the pill appeared in Su Ming's head.
'Seize an illusory spirit. This illusory spirit should be talking about the things created by Berserker Marks, like the blood bear of the tribe leader of Black Mountain Tribe and Shan Hen's blade … I don't think anyone below the Transcendence Realm will be able to fight against it … Even those in the Transcendence Realm won't be able to kill it. This isn't even a medicinal pill …' Su Ming's eyes flashed and he walked out.
Within the crack in the depths of the rainforest, a dark light shone and Su Ming's body slowly appeared. He sat there and touched the black stone on his neck as he fell into deep thought.
'I need 19 herbs in total. I know most of them. They exist in the picture book the elder gave me. There's only one that I'm unfamiliar with … But that's not the main point. The main point is that I don't need to create three out of the 19 herbs. I need to plant the bones of powerful wild beasts … and let them grow.
'According to the information I received, powerful wild beasts are equivalent to the bones of powerful Berserkers in the Transcendence Realm … 'If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.
