In the end, Lin Buzheng was chased by the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger for a full fifteen minutes before it lost interest and turned to leave.
Although Lin Buzheng's martial aura had fallen to the early stage of qi path, his life aura was incomparably vigorous, like a humanoid giant beast, causing the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger to instinctively fear him.
After the latter chased Lin Buzheng for a period of time, it realized that Lin Buzheng's strength was not below its own, so it did not wait for the final conflict and left first.
"I'm dead tired!"
Lin Buzheng ran wildly all the way and was so tired that he was panting and foaming at the mouth. He finally realized the importance of divine sense and martial qi to a martial artist.
In the evening, the sun was setting, dyeing tens of thousands of rays of red light, inlaid with strands of gold, sprinkling down on the forest land beside Lin Buzheng. It was sacred, tranquil, and had an otherworldly beauty.
However, Lin Buzheng was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him.
God knows how many dangers and how many demonic beasts were hidden in this beautiful scenery.
In the end, Lin Buzheng rested for a full fifteen minutes before he recovered his strength and continued on his journey.
Swoosh!
The golden-haired man who was standing in the distance suddenly moved.
He maintained the same speed as Lin Buzheng, moving forward at a moderate pace, leading the way.
With the lesson of being chased by the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger, Lin Buzheng was extremely careful on the rest of the journey, fearing that he would provoke other ferocious beasts if he was not careful.
"I'm thirsty …"
After a while, Lin Buzheng licked his dry lips and stopped his journey.
Before Lin Buzheng was chased by the Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger, his mouth was already extremely thirsty. After a quarter of an hour of running, his throat was even more parched, and he was so thirsty that he was about to explode.
Lin Buzheng had to find a clean water source to replenish himself before continuing on his journey.
But now, Lin Buzheng was in a dense forest.
As far as the eye could see, there were towering trees and endless green vines. The soil was dry, and there was no pool or spirit spring at all. Lin Buzheng had no choice but to continue moving forward patiently, looking for water as he walked.
Rumble!
Not only that, but while Lin Buzheng was looking for water, his stomach started to growl.
For a moment, Lin Buzheng was anxious and hungry. He felt that his steps were a little unstable.
Obviously, how to deal with physiological needs was also a part of the training.
Only by changing his old habits and completely merging with nature, tempering his fleshly body with the Dao of Nature, could Lin Buzheng's trial be considered a success.
Hualala!
After a while, with the sound of rolling water, a roaring river suddenly appeared in front of Lin Buzheng.
The river water was extremely clear. Countless fish of different colors and unknown names swam in the river.
Lin Buzheng was instantly excited. He had finally found a water source!
Furthermore, there were countless spiritual fish swimming in the river. As long as Lin Buzheng caught one, he could barbecue it or cook it to fill his stomach.
However, this river was like an underground river, sinking over a hundred zhang deep into the ground.
On both sides of the river, the river water washed out the banks of sand and stones.
If Lin Buzheng wanted to drink the clear and sweet river water and taste the delicious fish, he would have to climb down the cliff.
"This …"
Lin Buzheng stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down at the roaring river at the bottom of the cliff. He felt slightly apprehensive.
In the past, Lin Buzheng still had Qi in his body. With the protection of Martial Qi, he could jump down directly without getting injured.
But now, Lin Buzheng's Martial Qi had completely dried up. Even if he jumped down a fifty zhang cliff, he would undoubtedly be smashed into pieces, let alone jumping from a height of a hundred zhang.
Martial Qi was like a person's hands.
Normally, he could use it whenever he needed it, without feeling anything special. Only when he lost it would he realize how precious this ability was.
Lin Buzheng stood at the edge of the cliff and pondered for a long time. In the end, he rolled up his pants, took off his shirt, and tied it around his waist, revealing his muscular chest and calves. He then climbed down along the protruding part of the cliff.
Although Lin Buzheng's Qi Sea was sealed and the Martial Qi in his body was dried up, every time his cultivation increased, his body would undergo a baptism, and his abilities would become stronger in all aspects.
This strength would not disappear with the seal on his Qi Sea. It was Lin Buzheng's greatest reliance to pass the trial.
Rumble!
At this moment, Lin Buzheng's body tensed up. His head, shoulders, chest, waist, legs, and every other part of his body exerted force at the same time. His limbs were firmly planted on the cliff, and he climbed down the cliff like a monkey.
However, Lin Buzheng's movements were incredibly stiff. It was nowhere near as pleasant and agile as a monkey climbing the cliff. His every step was filled with danger, as if he could fall from the cliff at any moment.
"Shit, I can't hold on any longer …"
When Lin Buzheng reached the middle of the cliff, when he was still fifty zhang away from the bottom, he felt his muscles and bones turning soft. His body was completely drained, and he could no longer hold on.
His hands, feet, and entire body were firmly pressed against the cliff.
He slid all the way to the bottom of the uneven cliff that was covered in moss.
"Ouch!"
Following a loud thud, Lin Buzheng fell on his back and landed on his butt.
Although his body was fine, his butt was in extreme pain, causing Lin Buzheng to clench his teeth in pain.
Originally, with Lin Buzheng's strong body, even if he couldn't climb down the cliff as if it was flat ground, he could still climb down calmly and wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
The reason for this was that Lin Buzheng's Divine Abode and Qi Sea had been sealed, causing him to be unable to utilize his Divine Sense and Martial Dao True Qi. Every single move he made required him to adapt to his new body, so he was naturally limited in every aspect.
But as time passed, Lin Buzheng would gradually become familiar with his body, which was devoid of Divine Sense and Qi Sea. He would be able to use the most primitive force in his body to fight against nature.
Splat!
In the next moment, Lin Buzheng did a carp roll and stood up from the riverbank. He quickly ran to the riverbank and gulped down large mouthfuls of the clear river water. He had never felt that the river water was so sweet before.
After drinking the water, Lin Buzheng took off his clothes and jumped into the waist-deep river to try fishing.
The river water reflected the setting sun and the glow of the sunset.
Countless fishes swam in the depths of the river.
This region was a rare spiritual land, and the river water was also filled with Spiritual Qi. Therefore, the fishes swimming in the river were not ordinary fishes, but rare spiritual fishes.
Dragonization Fish, Thousand Star Fish, Fragmented Jade Fish …
Every spiritual fish was delicious and contained abundant Spiritual Qi. Their nourishing effect on a cultivator's body was comparable to top-grade spiritual herbs.
