A soft, almost inaudible sound entered his ears. He Yiming's feet abruptly stopped.
He put Yuan Lixun down and said, "Lixun, grandfather and the rest are right in front."
Yuan Lixun followed He Yiming's gaze and looked ahead. However, in her eyes, there were only trees. Not to mention the two elders, even the luggage they left behind was nowhere to be seen.
However, she had an almost blind confidence in He Yiming's words. She nodded lightly and tidied her clothes carefully. A beautiful blush appeared on her face again.
She gently pulled He Yiming and asked, "Young Master, what should we say if grandfather asks?"
"Just tell me the truth," He Yiming said in a puzzled manner.
Yuan Lixun's face turned even redder. She said, "We left for so long and our clothes are wrinkled. Do you think grandfather and the rest will …"
He Yiming could not help but laugh. He said, "Don't worry, they won't think so much."
With that, he reached out and pulled Yuan Lixun. She could not help but follow him around a few giant trees and finally arrived at the place where they left.
He Yiming's figure was like lightning. Only when he appeared and stood still did He Wude and the other two suddenly discover his figure.
"Yiming, where did you go?"
He Wude focused his gaze. He only relaxed when he saw He Yiming's face clearly. The old man furrowed his brows and asked in displeasure.
He Laibao smiled and said, "Old Master, it's rare for young people to come out and take a walk to relax. You don't have to care so much." He Wude looked at He Yiming and Yuan Lixun with a warm smile. From his tone, he seemed to think that they had left on their own, but were actually having fun.
He Wude shook his head slightly and said, "I know, but you should at least leave a message so that we don't have to worry."
The old man said that he was worried, but in reality, he and He Laibao were not worried at all.
He Yiming was now a Primordial expert. In this world, the status of Primordial experts was extremely revered, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Moreover, the strength of an Innate Expert was also far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
He Wude and He Laibao were able to walk through this place with their Inner Force Stage Ten cultivation. They didn't have to worry about any dangers. Then, when He Yiming left, they would have even less to worry about.
The only thing that annoyed the two elders was the fact that the young couple left without saying goodbye. They didn't even leave a mark behind.
He Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "Grandfather, I actually wanted to inform you, but the situation was urgent at that time, so I didn't have the time to explain."
At the same time, Yuan Lixun recalled how He Yiming left in a hurry, and she could not help but blush again.
He Yiming was worried about her back then, so he gave her the magical top in a hurry. If that wasn't the case, he might have had the time to explain.
In actuality, He Yiming did not leave any message because he was extremely confident that he could kill the spirit beast within an hour and bring it back.
Prior to this, he had the experience of killing spirit beasts twice, so he had a deep understanding of their strengths. He thought that an hour would be more than enough. According to his calculations, the two elders would not have returned by the time he returned with the spirit beast's carcass.
Who knew, not only did the spirit beast have two heads, but it was also ridiculously powerful. Moreover, they encountered the big rock, which was why they were delayed for such a long time.
He Wude finally had a grave look on his face. He glanced at Ou Yangming and Ou Yangming in shock. The elder was old, but he had sharp eyes, thus he could tell at one glance that the wrinkles on their clothes were unusual.
"Yiming, what exactly happened?"
He Yiming chuckled and said, "Grandfather, let me show you something."
Following that, he retrieved the large glaive and the two-headed spirit beast's carcass from his back.
Apart from the rattan, leather, and a thick long strip of cloth were wrapped around the glaive. The rattan and leather were still around, but He Yiming used the long strip of cloth to wrap the two-headed spirit beast.
He held a corner of the cloth strip in his hand and gently shook it. Immediately, the cloth was spread open, revealing the two-headed spirit beast that had been cut into two halves from head to tail with a single slash.
The looks in He Wude and He Laibao's eyes changed right away. Given their sharp eyes, they could tell that the spirit beast was unordinary.
Disregarding everything else, just the two heads alone were enough to shock people to the core.
He Wude strode forward and reached out his rough hand, which was full of calluses, to press the two heads for a while. Following that, he looked up and asked in surprise, "Yiming, is this a spirit beast?"
He Yiming nodded slightly and said, "Grandfather, please forgive me. Grandson suddenly discovered this spirit beast, so I acted on my own initiative and chased after it. Due to the beast's incredibly fast speed and the fact that I was pressed for time, I couldn't leave a message in time. "
He Wude laughed out loud and patted He Yiming's body hard. "It's fine, it's fine. Why would I blame you for such a small matter?"
He Yiming blinked and thought, 'Sure enough, as long as I hand over the spirit beast, my grandfather will be easy to talk to.'
Yuan Lixun covered her mouth and smiled. She said faintly, "Grandfather, Young Master spent a lot of effort to hunt this spirit beast, and he even encountered some dangers."
He Wude was surprised. "Yiming, you're already a Xiantian Master. Is it still difficult for you to hunt a spirit beast?"
He Yiming smiled bitterly. "Grandfather, this spirit beast seems to be different. Its most amazing part is that it can breathe out the auras of wind and fire from its two mouths. The exhalations are so powerful that I was almost hit when I wasn't paying attention."
When he recalled how the two-headed spirit beast had endured for a long time and only released its breath at the last moment, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.
If it was not for the fact that he had also held back and did not release his saber-light, as well as the fact that he had also comprehended the true essence of the Wind Power, the one who would be dead at this moment would not be the Two-headed Spiritual Beast, but himself.
Nevertheless, after hearing He Yiming's words, He Wude and He Laibao's eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise at the same time.
The elders looked at each other, then He Wude asked seriously, "Yiming, you're saying that this spirit beast has mastered the ability to exhale?"
"Yes."
He Yiming looked at the two old men in astonishment. He vaguely felt that the two old men seemed to be a little too excited.
He Wude suddenly said, "Laibao, one each."
He Laibao responded to him, then the elders went forward at the same time to pick up a piece of the carcass each. Subsequently, they reached out their hands and forcefully inserted their fingers into the spirit beast's two heads from its separated neck.
Both of them were masters in the Houtian Realm who had reached the tenth level of their inner strength. Although they were far from being comparable to He Yiming at this moment, when they applied their inner strength to their fingers, they were as hard as diamond and had infinite strength.
If the two-headed spirit beast was still alive, it would not be afraid because of its King Kong Bones. However, since it was already dead, and the two old men were digging upwards from the wound on its neck, it was naturally easy for their fingers to penetrate it.
Yuan Lixun's face instantly took on a ghastly expression. After witnessing the bloody scene, her abdomen twitched, and she felt nauseous.
All of a sudden, her vision turned black. When she looked in shock, He Yiming had appeared in front of her like a ghost and blocked her vision.
Yuan Lixun smiled sweetly. Half of the nauseous feeling instantly disappeared, and her heart was only filled with warmth.
After a brief moment, He Wude seemed to have touched something. He slowly withdrew his hand and gently opened it. Among the countless bloodstains, there was a shiny round pearl that was the size of an adult's thumb.
His body trembled slightly. Just as he was about to speak, He Laibao's surprised voice was heard. "I found it."
He Wude was surprised. When he turned around to look, he saw that He Laibao's hand was covered in blood, and there was indeed a similar item.
He Wude also extended his hand. The two round pearls on the elders' palms reflected each other's brilliance and gave off a peculiar color.
He Laibao widened his eyes. Even at his age and experience, he felt dizzy at this moment.
He mumbled, "Two pearls, there are actually two pearls?"
"Yes, there are actually two pearls." He Wude nodded and turned to look at He Yiming. "Yiming, you're really lucky."
He Yiming could tell that the pearls in the elders' hands were the spirit Neidan.
Nevertheless, from what he remembered, whether it was the Golden-crowned Python's Neidan or the Long-armed Raccoon's Neidan, they were similar in size, but they did not have such a light flow.
When Ou Yangming focused on the pearls, he instantly sensed the mysterious power from them. The power was unusually powerful, but it was hidden and not released. What surprised He Yiming even more was that when the two inner strength pearls left the two-headed spirit beast's body, they vaguely formed a mysterious connection with Heaven and Earth's Qi. Especially in his perception, the feeling of being one with the world was so obvious and clear.
A thought crossed He Yiming's mind, and he asked in shock, "Grandfather, is this a spirit beast that's more than 500 years old?"
He Wude nodded solemnly. "Yes, it's a spirit beast that's more than 500 years old." He Wude had a grave look on his face as he continued, "Regardless of the type of spirit beast, once it's more than 500 years old, it'll automatically grow into a powerful creature that can absorb Heaven and Earth's Qi. Its biggest feature is that it can condense Heaven and Earth's Qi in its body and release it through its breath. The breath's power is unparalleled. Not to mention Acquired Cultivators like us, even Innate Masters might not be able to deal with it easily. "
He Yiming nodded with lingering fear when he recalled the mighty power of the breath.
He suddenly had a whimsical thought, 'It would be great if I can grasp the breath's power too.'
He Laibao had long taken out a cloth and a water bottle to clean the blood on his hands and the Neidan. He said carefully, "Yiming, come and take a look."
He Yiming responded and went forward. He Laibao said seriously, "Spirit beasts that are more than 500 years old are different from ordinary spirit beasts. Not only are their powers different, but there's also a huge difference between the Neidan. These two Neidan pills contain the spirit beasts' powerful energies when they were alive, and they can communicate with Heaven and Earth's Qi. They're the best materials to refine Innate Golden Pills. "
He Yiming took the Neidan pills and played with them for a while, then he asked delightedly, "Grandfather, if we can refine Innate Golden Pills from these two Neidan pills, won't there be hope for two more Innate Powerhouses in our village?"
He Wude smiled bitterly and said, "Yiming, how can it be so easy to refine a Primordial Golden Pill? Even if I give it to my master, the Medicine Daoist, he might not be able to refine it successfully." He paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, if you want to refine a Golden Pill, it's not enough to rely on the inner cores of spirit beasts. At the same time, you also need a large amount of rare medicinal herbs. These medicinal herbs are almost impossible to grow in places where ordinary people live. Only a large sect like Hengshan, which has been established for thousands of years, can rely on its long history to slowly cultivate and grow them."
He Yiming's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Grandfather, you're saying that we should give these two Neidan pills to Hengshan?"
He Wude and He Yiming naturally couldn't forget about Hengshan, but He Yiming was different. To be honest, he didn't have much affection for Hengshan. When he heard that he had to give away such precious items, he felt a faint heartache.
Two five-hundred-year-old spirit beasts' Neidan pills were treasures that could be refined into two Innate Golden Pills. Even He Yiming couldn't bear to part with it.
He Wude glared at him, and said, "Yiming, you got these from hunting, but you have to know that the art of alchemy is broad and profound. Among the people we know, where else can you find a second Innate Alchemist who can make you feel assured aside from those from Hengshan? Also, where are you going to find so many precious herbs? "
He Yiming lowered his head and thought for a moment, and finally said, "Yes, I understand."
With He Wude's reminder, he suddenly remembered the question he asked the Xie family in the past. If he found a five-hundred-year-old spirit beast Neidan, they would be able to refine it.
But they flatly refused, and even Hsieh Chih-en said that he didn't have the slightest chance of success.
Even the thousand-year-old Xie family had such an attitude, so where could he find a powerful Innate Alchemist?
Although it was said that there were such masters in the three strongest countries in the northwest, it wouldn't be a good thing if he rashly went to them without knowing them.
He Wude nodded slightly, and comforted him, "Yiming, these two Neidan pills are in Master's hands, and he can refine at least one. But if he can refine both pills, then don't worry, Master will give one to you no matter what. "
He Yiming hurriedly waved his hand, and said, "Grandfather, that's yours."
He Wude let out a long sigh and said, "Yiming, I appreciate your good intentions, but Grandpa is too old. If I really take the Xiantian Golden Pellet, then the possibility of my body exploding and dying is far greater than the possibility of successfully advancing. I'm already a bag of old bones, and although it doesn't matter if I die, I still want to live for a few more years, so let's forget about it. "
He Yiming's face was slightly red, and he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Grandfather, it's said that when you're breaking through to the Innate Realm, if you can obtain the protection of a Innate Master, then the chances of success will be much higher, and the danger will also be reduced." He patted his chest, and said, "When the time comes, I'll help you strengthen your meridians, and you'll definitely be able to smoothly step into the Innate Realm."
He Wude smiled, and said, "When you step into the Innate Realm from the Houtian Realm, there is indeed such a saying, but it's only effective for cultivators who rely on their own strength to break through to the Innate Realm. If you take the Innate Golden Pill, then the other Innate Masters won't have the chance to intervene. " He let out a long sigh and said, "If Grandpa was a Level Ten Internal Strength Cultivator who cultivated the same attribute as Grandpa, and you cultivated the same attribute as Grandpa, Grandpa naturally wouldn't reject your good intentions. But … "He shook his head, and said regretfully," Cultivators who cultivate the Innate Golden Pill and Innate Golden Pill are extremely rare! "
He Laibao laughed, and said, "Old Master, don't sigh, Yiming is one of them."
He Wude smiled in relief, and said, "Yes, Yiming, not only did you cultivate the Mixed Primordial Force to the peak of the tenth layer, but you also cultivated the Ripple Technique, but you hid it from us so well, you're really …" He pointed with his finger, and finally scolded jokingly, "You're really unfilial."
He scolded, but his voice was filled with a strong sense of pride, and there was not the slightest hint of anger in it.
He Yiming was sweating profusely, and he finally understood why his grandfather and the others never asked him how he broke through.
It turned out that in their hearts, they had already determined that he relied on the Innate Golden Pill and Water Innate Golden Pill to break through.
The group continued to stay there for half a day, and the most important thing was that the two old men carefully disposed of the Two-headed Spirit Beast's corpse.
Naturally, the beast's fur was removed, and even its internal organs and bones were removed for other purposes.
To cultivators, a spirit beast's entire body was a treasure, and even its meat was stewed and eaten for a big meal.
He Yiming felt a chill in his heart when he saw the Two-headed Spirit Beast's end.
The Two-headed Spirit Beast did not provoke Ou Yangming at all, but because of its spirit beast, it ended up in such a horrible state.
Ou Yangming initially wanted to tell the two old men about the mysterious white stone, but when he heard that they were going to send the Neidan to Mount Heng, he suppressed the thought for the time being.
He Wude promised that if both Neidan stones were successfully refined, one of them would be his. What if only one of them was successful?
If Ou Yangming told his grandfather about the white stone, would his grandfather hide it from him, or would he directly tell his master, the Medicine Man? If the people of Mount Heng found out about the stone's wonders and asked him for it, would he give it to them or not?
He Yiming and Yuan Lixun looked at each other as they chewed on the Two-headed Spirit Beast's meat. Although they did not say anything, they could see the same expression in each other's eyes.
They looked at each other and smiled. It was enough for the two of them to know about the secret of the white stone. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com to read more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
