When the sun rose the next day and the first rays of sunlight shone into the mountains, Lufan finally came to his senses, realizing that he had unknowingly practiced the Lingbo Weibu for an entire night.
However, he did not feel any discomfort; instead, he felt a lazy warmth throughout his body. Not only had his blood vessels and muscles been thoroughly refined, but even the hidden injuries left from his previous forced breakthrough of the Iron Cloth technique had completely healed. He felt surprisingly good.
This surprised him; he hadn't expected Lingbo Weibu to have such a nourishing effect on the body, akin to a healing spell in the games he used to play.
If Iron Cloth was about rigidity, then Lingbo Weibu represented flexibility. Practicing Iron Cloth so forcefully before inevitably left some hidden injuries, but now with Lingbo Weibu, this problem could be effectively resolved. The combination of rigidity and flexibility was simply perfect.
Thinking of flexibility, Lufan recalled another martial art—Tai Chi. This was also an extremely gentle Fist Technique that should have a good nourishing effect on the body as well. Unfortunately, Tai Chi is easy to learn but difficult to master; one must reach a profound level to use it in combat, which did not suit his current situation.
While Lufan was lost in thought, Duanmu Xue came out from inside, holding a piece of Primordial Food.
"Good morning! Have you finished your training?" Lufan greeted her.
"Yes. Were you out here all night?" Duanmu Xue asked, handing over the Primordial Food.
Lufan took it and put it in his mouth, mumbling, "Yeah, I saw you all practicing and thought someone should keep watch in case any wild beasts disturbed you. I just didn't expect you to train for so long. Do you usually work this hard?"
"How could that be?" Duanmu Xue twirled a strand of hair around her finger. "We only do this when we go into the mountains to gather herbs since there’s more natural energy here. If we trained like this all the time, we wouldn't be able to handle it. But even while training, we remain vigilant; as soon as there's any movement, we'll react immediately."
Seeing Duanmu Xue's actions made Lufan feel a bit strange; she looked quite pretty at that moment.
Duanmu Xue noticed Lufan's gaze and blushed slightly. "What are you looking at?"
Lufan was startled and quickly replied, "Nothing! It seems I was being unnecessary."
He collected his thoughts; he couldn't be deceived by appearances—this girl could be troublesome.
Duanmu Xue also felt her actions were a bit unusual and quickly lowered her hand.
For a moment, neither of them knew what to say, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Fortunately, at that moment, Miko burst out excitedly shouting, "Let's go! Let's go gather herbs! I want to earn lots of money! Hurry up, big guy! Carry my stuff!"
"Alright, little sister, stop shouting. You might attract some Primordial Beasts," Milan said helplessly, and then the three of them emerged from the cave, with Rock holding Lufan's backpack.
"Since everyone is ready, let's set off," Duanmu Xue announced, seizing the opportunity to break the awkwardness and quickly ran ahead.
Lufan took his backpack and followed suit.
Miko watched from behind, blinking her eyes. Her intuition told her that the leader was acting strangely, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. However, she didn't dwell on it; just thinking about the big harvest they were going to have today made her happy—she was quite the little money lover.
The search for medicinal herbs went smoothly as well. After all, Lufan's skills in herb gathering were incredibly powerful. With his knowledge from another world and the convenience of a compass, their efficiency was many times higher than others.
The resources in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains were truly abundant. Lufan and his team gathered a large quantity of herbs; aside from some young seedlings that were not yet mature, everything else went into their bags.
The huge haul made everyone smile broadly, with only one regret: these were all ordinary herbs, and they hadn't found any rare herbs like the White Jade Mushroom again.
This shows just how rare those precious herbs are. Lufan's luck in finding a White Jade Mushroom on his first try was simply extraordinary.
As they continued searching for herbs, Lufan and his team gradually ventured deeper into the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. The number of Primordial Beasts increased significantly here. Despite Duanmu Xue leading the team to avoid them continuously, they eventually encountered a Primordial Beast.
Combat was unavoidable.
It was a gigantic Wild Boar—truly massive, about the size of an ordinary elephant on Earth. Lufan was taken aback when he saw it for the first time.
With its fierce tusks, wire-like black fur, enormous body, and blood-red eyes, it was clear that this giant Wild Boar was not to be trifled with and had a very aggressive temperament.
Sure enough, when this giant Wild Boar spotted Lufan and his team, it charged without hesitation, lowering its head and thrusting its fearsome tusks forward—combat was about to erupt!
Seeing the Wild Boar charging towards them, Duanmu Xue sighed and stepped forward helplessly.
This was Lufan's first time witnessing a Martial Cultivator in battle. He prepared to observe closely and experience firsthand the combat style of a Martial Cultivator.
Then he witnessed a scene that could shatter one's worldview.
As the Wild Boar approached rapidly, Duanmu Xue positioned her spear horizontally and took a horse stance. With a sharp shout and a powerful push from her legs, the ground beneath her could hardly withstand her strength and almost turned into mud. Then she swept her arm across; that thick spear forged from refined steel struck fiercely against the Wild Boar's head!
Boom!
Under the overwhelming and unreasonable strength of Duanmu Xue, the wild boar had no power to resist. Not only was one of its tusks brutally broken off, but its entire body was also sent flying, crashing into several plants. After hitting the ground, it twitched all over and couldn't get up for a while!
Damn!
Although the trials of recent years had made Lufan's personality somewhat calm and unflappable, he couldn't help but want to curse.
This is just too violent!
Can you imagine a girl barely over five feet tall sending a three or four-meter tall elephant flying? In Lufan's eyes, that was exactly the scene before him.
Even though he had always known that the fighting style of Martial Cultivators in this world was quite direct and brutal, seeing a delicate girl being so violent was still hard for him to accept; the impact was just too great.
He suddenly understood why the big guy and others called Duanmu Xue the "big sister." She was practically a human female Tyrannosaurus Rex!
If Lufan knew that Duanmu Xue was known as the "Violent Queen" at school, he would probably have a different reaction.
After sending the wild boar flying with one strike, Duanmu Xue walked over and casually stabbed it to death. Then she returned as if she had done something trivial.
However, when she saw the dumbfounded expressions on the faces of the big guy and his friends, as if to say "no one can help you this time," she couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what had happened. It was only when she noticed Lufan's expression that she came back to her senses, her face changing dramatically!
Damn it, my image!!!
