"Don't be afraid." Su Ming smiled. His voice was still calm as he crouched down and put his right hand into his bosom to bring out a few items.
His actions had not only affected Zi Che's heart and gaze, it had also made Hu Zi, who was by the side, incredibly curious. He quickly widened his eyes and watched.
A beast bone and a few herbs.
Once Su Ming brought out these normal items, disappointment appeared on Hu Zi's face. He mumbled a few words under his breath and did not want to look at them anymore, but when he saw the drastic change in Zi Che's expression when he saw the items, he was immediately surprised.
"What are you doing?!" This was the first time Zi Che spoke after he was captured. His voice was hoarse, but it was difficult for him to hide the fear contained within. He was indeed afraid, and this fear far surpassed the fear he felt when he was facing Hu Zi. This fear came from within his heart.
Because at the instant he saw the beast bone asking for medicinal herbs, he suddenly understood the meaning behind the word 'materials'. The beast bone was a material, the medicinal herbs were fodder, and Zi Che was actually seen as a material by the other party.
The fear born from this understanding and association forced him to speak.
"Hmm? Damn you, you can talk? Then why didn't you speak no matter what I asked you? Even when we were in the Dream, you still didn't speak!" Before Su Ming could say anything, Hu Zi widened his eyes and anger appeared on his face. He took a step forward and slapped Zi Che once again.
"How dare you lie to me? I hate people lying to me the most!" Hu Zi slapped Zi Che a few times in anger before he looked at the materials Su Ming brought out.
"Fourth, why are you taking the bones and herbs?" Hu Zi scratched his head with a puzzled expression.
"Third senior brother, you don't know this, but before I entered the ninth summit, I created many medicinal liquids myself … His body is very good, and he's very suitable for the medicine I want to create." Su Ming smiled faintly and picked up a herb. He swept his gaze across Zi Che's body, and the moment he opened his mouth to speak again, he crushed it and took out some of the medicinal seeds within. He pointed at Zi Che's chest and tore open his flesh. The moment blood flowed out, he pressed the medicinal seeds into his flesh.
Su Ming continued patting Zi Che's body a few more times before withdrawing his hand.
Zi Che did not feel much pain, but soon, his chest became numb. When he lowered his head, he saw to his terror that the medicinal seed in his chest was growing at a rapid pace in an incredibly bizarre manner.
As it grew, Zi Che's expression changed drastically. This change was not any weaker than when he faced Su Ming's second senior brother's Hand of Creation. He could clearly feel that the herb was absorbing his flesh and life force as it grew.
In fact, the roots of the herb were slowly spreading through his body. He could ignore the pain of having the herb crawling into his flesh, but the fear of the unknown made his breathing quicken. When he looked at Su Ming, there was a terror that had never appeared before in his eyes.
It was especially so when Su Ming took some of the blood from the carriage and dripped it on the beast bone. The terror in Zi Che's heart reached its peak, and he quickly spoke.
"What the hell are you doing!?!?"
"Making medicine." Su Ming lifted his head and cast Zi Che a glance before he spoke with a smile.
"What medicine?" Zi Che shuddered.
Hu Zi was completely focused by the side, but there was still a puzzled look on his face. However, when he saw Zi Che's expression, he could not help but admire Su Ming.
'Fourth, you're still the best. With just a few moves, you managed to make this guy so scared. Looks like your smart Grandpa Hu will have to learn from you.' Hu Zi nodded his head with a pensive look on his face.
"It's easy to describe this medicine. You need to plant some herbs in the body of a living dead and use his flesh and life force as nutrients. Once the herbs are fully mature, the living dead will become the main ingredient of this medicine. You can call it a Medicine Human.
"Then, you need to use the aura of death to refine it. When the medicine disappears, it'll be the moment the Medicine Human dies, and the death of the Medicine Human means the life of the medicine.
"Don't worry, I've done it once before, so I'm already familiar with the process. I promise you that you won't feel any pain." Su Ming smiled as he spoke. His words naturally had a strange tone to them. He even brought out a few more herbs and personally planted them on Zi Che's body. His actions were gentle, as if he was afraid of damaging the herbs and the material before him.
However, his actions fell into Zi Che's eyes, especially when Su Ming's seemingly casual words that were filled with determination echoed in his ears. Zi Che's face instantly turned pale, and his gaze as he looked at Su Ming could no longer be described as fear and panic. It had turned into shock.
Even Hu Zi sucked in a sharp breath when he heard it. When he looked at Su Ming, there was a strange look in his eyes.
'Eldest senior brother is a turtle. He's always in isolation … Second senior brother likes to farm and sneaks away in the middle of the night … As for Master, let's not talk about him … I thought that besides me, there's also a new youngest junior brother in the mountain …
'But I didn't expect him to have such a strange hobby. He treats people as ingredients and turns them into medicinal liquid, then drinks them …' Hu Zi shuddered and let out a long sigh.
He had already thought about how he would introduce his fourth to his fifth junior brother in the future.
"You … Your second senior brother said that he'll only restrict my freedom for three years. After three years, he'll let me go!" Zi Che cried out anxiously.
"It's fine. I can beg him to change the three years into a lifetime." Su Ming smiled as he spoke. He did not lift his head, but continued digging holes in Zi Che's body and placing the herbs inside.
"We're … We're from the same sect. You can't do this. You … You … My Master won't forgive you!" Zi Che looked at Su Ming's smiling face, and his terror reached its peak. To him, that face was practically the most terrifying sight in the world.
He suddenly understood why Si Ma Xin still wanted him to take away an item from Su Ming's body even though he was already on the way.
"It's fine. I have a Master as well." Su Ming still did not lift his head. He brought out another herb seriously, as if he was hesitating about where he should place it on Zi Che's body.
'Damn it, Si Ma Xin isn't asking me to return the favor, he's just harming me! This Su Ming might not have a high level of cultivation, but the terror I felt from him is definitely not fake. This person … This person is definitely not ordinary. I can't judge him based on his level of cultivation! 'In his terror, Zi Che gritted his teeth and sighed in his heart.
"It's Si Ma Xin. He's the one who asked me to come to you and take away your bell!" Zi Che quickly said.
Su Ming held the herb in his right hand and lifted his head slowly. His expression was still calm, but in Zi Che's eyes, it was like the calm before the storm, as if there was a storm brewing within him.
It was especially so for Su Ming's right eye. In Zi Che's eyes, there was a hint of red. That red was the murderous aura. That murderous aura did not explode outwards, but when it appeared, the cave abode instantly turned cold.
Zi Che's heart trembled. He had a feeling that he did not dare look at Su Ming's right eye.
Hu Zi also sucked in a sharp breath and shuddered. He could feel that at that instant, his youngest junior brother was completely different from before.
"Where is Si Ma Xin?" Su Ming asked unhurriedly. His voice sounded the same as before, but when it fell into Zi Che's ears, it was as if thunder was roaring. In fact, there were even some lightning arcs swimming around his body before they disappeared.
"He's on his way back to the school. Judging by the time, he should be back in two days … I owed him a favor in the past, that's why he sent me a letter. I couldn't refuse him. I offended him, and it wasn't my intention." Zi Che trembled and quickly spoke. He did not know why he had to say so much to explain himself, but he had a strong feeling that if he did not give a clear explanation for what happened today, then even if he did not die in the end after coming to the ninth summit, he would still leave behind a great disaster in the future.
This was his intuition. After spending some time with Su Ming, this intuition had suddenly grown in him.
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before a red light flashed in his right eye and he asked calmly, "What is Si Ma Xin's level of cultivation?"
"He's been away for many years. When he left, he had attained great completion in the Transcendence Realm. As for his current level of cultivation, I've never seen it before, so I'm not too sure … But if he can reach the Bone Sacrifice Realm, then he'll definitely think of a way to enter Freezing Sky Cave and understand the will left behind by those who came before him. Then he'll have a chance to complete the transformation of all the bones in his body from the initial stage of the Bone Sacrifice Realm and reach great completion in the Bone Sacrifice Realm!
"The possibility of this happening might be rare, and based on what I know, there were only three people who could do this in the past six thousand years. But if he really found the remains of the Ancestral Berserkers in Freezing Sky Cave, then there's still a chance that he could do it …
"He's the prodigy of Freezing Sky Clan and is known as one of the people who has the highest chance of becoming the fourth God of Berserkers. He has a lot of friends in Freezing Sky Clan. Besides the ninth summit, most of the other eight summits are his people.
"If he wants to become your enemy … then you'd better watch yourself …" Zi Che's voice echoed in the cave and lingered for a long time.
"Where's Freezing Sky Cave?" This was the first time Su Ming heard of this name.
"I don't know the specifics, but it's rumored that the Great Frozen Plains of Freezing Sky Clan was built on top of Freezing Sky Cave. If that's the case … then Freezing Sky Cave is located in the depths of the endless frozen water beneath us."
"The ninth summit is still within Freezing Sky Clan …" Zi Che said once again. Once he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and looked at the herbs on his body. He gritted his teeth and his voice suddenly became much softer.
"If I were you, I would definitely end the grudge between us before he enters Freezing Sky Cave, or else … it doesn't matter if he wins or loses. As long as he can walk out of Freezing Sky Cave alive, then he might enter Heaven Gate. Once he enters Heaven Gate, his status will be completely different from the Great Frozen Plains of Freezing Sky Clan.
"At that time, if he wants to kill you … then unless the ninth summit has the power to fight against Heaven Gate, then you'll definitely die!"
Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he asked languidly, "Heaven Gate?"
"Freezing Sky Clan is divided into the Great Frozen Plains of Freezing Sky and Heaven Gate. Only those who enter Heaven Gate can be considered as the core of Freezing Sky Clan … Besides inheriting the legacy, the only way to enter Heaven Gate is to obtain the heads of 1,000 Shamans and not die in Freezing Sky Cave.
