Ye Tian lay on the bed, recalling the events of this evening, feeling an immense sense of satisfaction.
After defeating Li Li, Ye Tian did not pursue them aggressively but chose to hold back, understanding the principle that a small concession can prevent greater chaos.
Ye Tian was self-aware; if the younger generations of the Xu and Leng families had dealt a heavy blow to the Li Brothers, the worst outcome would be financial compensation, as they had the backing of the Cold Family and Xu Family. However, if he, Ye Tian, seriously injured the Li Brothers, he would likely not live to see the next sunrise, as he had no support—only a thatched hut that leaked in summer and winter.
Thus, although the Li Family was merely a third-rate family, it would be easy for them to eliminate a drifter like him without anyone noticing.
"It’s likely that the Li Brothers are uninjured and embarrassed to mention being defeated by a drifter among their family. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any trouble from the Li Family. My current concern is Wang Hu. Those two fools will definitely seek help from Wang Hu. With Wang Hu being a fifth-tier martial artist and his group of lackeys, I might not have the upper hand if I encounter them."
Ye Tian thought this way but was not worried. Based on today's minor test, as long as he could break through to the fourth tier of martial arts tonight, he would have the strength to fight against Wang Hu and all his gang members.
Ye Tian reached into his bedside and fumbled for a moment before taking out something wrapped in a handkerchief. As he slowly unwrapped it, there lay three Beneficial Herbs, which he had always regarded as treasures.
The Beneficial Herb was entirely tender green, looking indistinguishable from ordinary wild grass, making it extremely difficult to find. Moreover, its quantity was scarce. If it weren't for the deep autumn season when other flowers and plants were withering, leaving this Beneficial Herb still vibrant as if newly sprouted, it would have been impossible for Ye Tian to find it.
Looking at the Beneficial Herb, which had been pulled from the ground days ago but was still full of vitality, Ye Tian murmured to himself, "No wonder it's a fifth-tier herb; it's truly different from those first and second-tier spiritual medicines. Just don’t let me down with your effects!"
After saying this, he placed it into the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace.
As usual, the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace first emitted a faint glow, followed by the fragrance of herbs wafting out. Once everything settled down, the Vitality Pill was successfully refined.
Ye Tian took out the pill from the furnace and opened his palm to examine it closely.
"It really didn’t let me down! It looks vastly different from the pills I’ve refined before."
Every day, Ye Tian refined pills; most of what he had previously made were basic first-tier yellow rank spiritual medicines. Even second-tier medicines left behind tiny granules on their surface after refinement. According to the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, those granules were useless impurities expelled by spiritual medicines during the refining process. Of course, such impurities only existed in first to third-tier yellow rank medicines.
Looking at the Vitality Pill being refined, Ye Tian quietly held a pill that was pure in color, a light green hue emanating a strong fragrance. Upon closer inspection, the surface of the pill was as smooth as a mirror, without any impurities, and it radiated a faint luster like that of pearls.
"This is what a Yellow Rank Five looks like; that Nine Rank Danyang Grass must be even more remarkable!"
"I need to secure it quickly..."
Ye Tian was filled with excitement. He wrapped the Danyang Grass in the handkerchief that had originally contained the Beneficial Herb and carefully placed it in a brocade box. Only then did he turn around and pinch the Vitality Pill between his fingers, slowly bringing it to his mouth.
As the Dan Pill entered his mouth, he first experienced an extremely rich and fragrant sensation. However, as the pill slid down into his abdomen, this feeling gradually transformed into a wave of heat. Initially, the warmth was bearable, but as the medicinal power began to release, the temperature of that heat surged rapidly. In the end, Ye Tian felt as if he had swallowed a piece of burning coal, causing beads of sweat to pour down his forehead as he tossed and turned, unable to sit still. At that moment, the heat that had gathered in his abdomen began to surge through all his meridians until it spread throughout his limbs and bones. Under this intense medicinal impact, Ye Tian gradually lost consciousness.
He did not know how long he had been unconscious when Ye Tian finally woke up. He reached up to touch his forehead; the temperature had returned to normal without him noticing.
"The potency of this Beneficial Herb is too powerful. It seems I should only use one spirit herb to refine one Dan Pill in the future..."
Indeed, Dan Pills refined from multiple spirit herbs were too potent for Ye Tian, who was merely a Three-Stage Martial Artist. The three herbs he used tonight had already caused him to faint; if he had added even one more, he might have met with disaster.
Of course, risks are proportional to benefits.
"Four-Stage Martial Artist!"
Ye Tian felt a strength several times greater than before from his clenched fists. The power generated when he tightly gripped his fists seemed to burst forth, and when he swung his fists vigorously, he could even faintly hear the sound of breaking air.
"Haha! Compared to the Three-Stage, this is indeed much stronger!"
"However, I've exhausted all three of my Beneficial Herbs during this breakthrough. Given my current physical capabilities, I probably still can't digest the potent effects of Yellow Rank Nine Danyang Grass. Therefore, my immediate priority is to gather more Beneficial Herbs; that's most important!"
Having just broken through to the Fourth Stage of martial arts, Ye Tian was extremely excited. Although it was already midnight, he felt no sleepiness at all and tossed and turned in bed but could not fall asleep.
"Ah... I'm so excited that I can't sleep... Given the situation, it seems I've not only broken through to the fourth stage, but I might have even reached the later part of the fourth stage!"
"By the way! I've been so busy gathering herbs and cultivating these days that I completely forgot about the Spiritual Treasure Compendium. Since I can't sleep anyway, I might as well take a look at the Martial Arts Section."
With that thought, Ye Tian opened the Spiritual Treasure Compendium. Although the room was pitch dark, the golden letters on the compendium shimmered with light, and this light was quite peculiar—bright yet not at all blinding.
"Martial Arts Section..."
Ye Tian flipped to the Martial Arts Section and began reading in order.
'Yellow Rank First Grade Martial Arts—Exploding Palm'
'Yellow Rank First Grade Martial Arts—Heavenly Leg'
'Yellow Rank First Grade Martial Arts—Heart-Piercing Claw'
...
Ye Tian initially intended to skim through casually to pass the time. However, after reading for a while, he was pleasantly surprised to find that while the Spiritual Treasure Compendium did not record any cultivation methods for martial arts, it provided very clear explanations of their strengths and weaknesses along with countermeasures!
'Yellow Rank First Grade Martial Arts—Frenzied Tiger Fist'
When he saw these words, a sense of familiarity suddenly flashed through his mind.
He repeated the name of this martial art in his mind several times. Although he still couldn't recall the specifics, he was certain that he had heard about the Frenzied Tiger Fist somewhere or seen someone use it.
Thus, Ye Tian calmed himself and began to read carefully.
After reading through it, Ye Tian gained a general understanding of the Frenzied Tiger Fist.
The Frenzied Tiger Fist is known for its fierce and powerful techniques. When fully executed, the movements are expansive and forceful, resembling a frenzied tiger, showcasing great strength and ferocity. Moreover, when practiced to an excellent level and enhanced with elemental energy, the fist technique can produce the sound of a tiger's roar, and the flowing fist energy can even manifest a tiger shape.
However, as with yin and yang, its shortcomings are also quite evident. There are many openings between the techniques, making it easy for enemies to counterattack. During full-on assaults, numerous critical vulnerabilities become exposed. If an opponent can accurately seize the opportunity, they could easily deliver a fatal blow. Additionally, this fist technique demands a significant amount of elemental energy and physical stamina, making it unsuitable for prolonged combat.
With a snap, Ye Tian abruptly closed the book and began muttering to himself.
“Frenzied Tiger, Frenzied Tiger...”
“Wang Hu!”
“I remember now; this Frenzied Tiger Fist is the entry-level martial art of the Wang family. Wang Hu once said, ‘Do you believe I can kill you with the Frenzied Tiger Fist?’”
As Ye Tian thought of this, a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
With a fourth-level martial artist and Jujutsu, combined with an understanding of the weaknesses of the Frenzied Tiger Fist...
“Heh heh, Wang Hu! It’s time for us to settle the score!”
