Ye Tian originally thought that Wang Hu would come today with the Li Brothers for revenge, but since that did not happen by the afternoon, he decided not to waste any more time waiting for them. After all, his current strength was already sufficient to deal with them, and as for when to take revenge, it was just a matter of time.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
The vine swung far away, and as it reached its highest point, the figure on it let go and flew out with the momentum. Just before landing, he firmly grasped another vine.
Ye Tian moved swiftly through the forest, his agility resembling that of a monkey. After stepping into the Four-Stage Martial Artist realm last night, he decisively left the area for gathering spiritual herbs at the edge of Great Void Mountain and chose to venture a bit deeper. This way, the chances of collecting higher-grade spiritual herbs increased significantly. Moreover, if any low-level beasts appeared, they would be perfect for practice. With Ye Tian's current speed and reflexes combined with Jujutsu, even if he couldn't defeat them, escaping from low-level beasts should not be a problem.
"Smack!"
As the vine reached its limit, Ye Tian released his grip and glided a distance before landing steadily on a thick tree branch.
"White Jade Fruit?"
A milky-white fruit was in Ye Tian's hand. After examining it for a moment, he swallowed it whole, only to be met with an extremely bitter taste on his tongue.
"This tastes terrible..." Ye Tian frowned as he spat out the remnants of the fruit.
However, he soon felt the benefits; after consuming the White Jade Fruit, the hunger that had been gnawing at him vanished instantly, replaced by a warm feeling of fullness.
"It really is an Earth-Level One Spirit Fruit meant to satisfy hunger; eating it immediately alleviates hunger. So practical! I should stock up on these in the future."
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian grabbed another vine and floated deeper into the forest.
Throughout this journey, Ye Tian moved effortlessly and collected spiritual herbs as expected. Although no higher-grade herbs appeared, gathering over thirty Yellow Rank first and second-tier herbs along with two Beneficial Herbs made the trip worthwhile.
Ye Tian looked at the bulging cloth bag with satisfaction and muttered to himself, "That's enough for today, time to call it a day!"
Just as he was about to head back the way he came, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a girl crying ahead.
Ye Tianxin was startled. Although he was still far from the depths of Great Void Mountain, this place could be considered deep in the mountains. How could there be a girl's crying here?
"Forget it, it's best not to get involved. What if it's some beast that has turned into a spirit..."
Thinking this, he turned to leave, but after taking a couple of steps, he hesitated again. Finally, after a moment, driven by intense curiosity, he forced himself to turn back and slowly walked toward the source of the sound.
Ye Tian tried his best to minimize the noise of his footsteps and, using some trees and bushes for cover, cautiously approached the direction of the sound.
The voice became clearer, and Ye Tian's gaze fell upon a girl who had fallen to the ground.
The girl appeared to be around twelve or thirteen years old. Her youthful face featured rosy lips and white teeth, with delicate features that made her look exceptionally charming. Her petite figure added an extra touch of vulnerability that made one feel protective.
"She’s so beautiful and cute; could she be a transformed beast?" This childish thought crossed Ye Tianxin's mind as he hid behind the bushes.
"Should I go out or stay hidden..."
Finally, after much hesitation, he stepped out from behind the bushes.
"Are you from Spirit Martial Town?"
The girl was startled by his voice, clearly not expecting anyone else to be here. However, she nodded in response.
"Are you lost or hurt somewhere?" Ye Tian asked gently, with a hint of concern.
"Woo woo woo."
However, in response to Ye Tian's worried inquiry, the girl not only did not answer but began to cry even harder.
"Please, don't cry..." Ye Tian, who should have been comforting her but had never been comforted himself, felt overwhelmed facing this helpless girl and didn't know what to say.
After crying for a while, the girl wiped her tears with her delicate hands and said softly, "I was bitten by a snake..."
Ye Tian was taken aback by her words and then disdainfully thought to himself, "I've been bitten by snakes countless times while picking herbs in the mountains! It doesn't hurt at all; even if it were a venomous snake, it would just swell for a few days. Why is she crying endlessly? She must be one of those pampered daughters from a wealthy family! Hmph!"
Perhaps due to his experience with Wang Hu, he generally held no good feelings toward people from wealthy families. So he casually said, "Come on, it's just a snake bite. You're not missing an arm or leg. You're being overly dramatic! Are you leaving or not? If you're going, it's on my way. If not, I don't have time to listen to your wailing."
Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes turned red again as she said pitifully, "But my leg is numb and I can't move it..."
Ye Tian showed an expression of disbelief and rolled his eyes dramatically, pretending to be fierce as he said, "What do you mean? Do you want me to carry you?"
Seeing his demeanor, the girl stopped crying. Instead, her big watery eyes revealed a stubborn look as she said with slight anger, "I never said I wanted your help! Why do you have to mock me like that?"
"Fine! I won't mock you anymore. But even if you beg me for help this time, I still won't assist you!"
With that, Ye Tian turned around and walked away, thinking to himself: "She clearly wants me to carry her but got exposed by me. Now she's flipping out; people from wealthy families really are no good! I won't fall for her tricks; I'm leaving now and we'll see if she begs me!"
The Sun Sets in the West, Red Clouds are scattered, and it is already evening.
“Whew...”
In the Forest Path, a young boy is slowly walking while panting, carrying a beautiful girl who has fainted on his back.
“Damn it, my luck is really terrible!”
Ye Tian glanced at the girl on his back, constantly complaining in his heart.
Originally, he had intended to leave the girl behind and go on his way, but after walking quite a distance, he noticed that she hadn’t followed him. At that moment, Ye Tian’s damn curiosity began to stir again, urging him to return and check if the girl was truly unable to move. So, Ye Tian turned back. When he returned to the spot, he found that the girl’s face was pale, clearly having been unconscious for some time. At that moment, Ye Tian also saw her injury; there were two faint blood marks on her delicate white ankle, and from those marks, all connected veins had turned a strange dark purple.
Initially startled, Ye Tian soon recalled information about such symptoms.
The girl had indeed been bitten by a snake, and it wasn’t an ordinary snake but a type called the Purple Blood Snake, a Yellow-Grade First-Rank Monster.
Speaking of the Purple Blood Snake, it wasn’t particularly fearsome; its attack capability was almost zero, and its toxicity was negligible compared to other snakes of the same rank. However, its only terrifying aspect was that if a person bitten by it did not receive timely treatment, they would fall into a coma. After falling unconscious, the venom would spread through their bloodstream for four hours before reaching the heart. At that point, the victim would awaken but would become bloodthirsty and ruthless, crazily attacking any living creature nearby.
Fortunately, curing the poison of the Purple Blood Snake wasn’t too difficult; one just needed to find a plant called ‘Coagulation Grass’, a Yellow-Grade Second-Tier Spirit Medicine, chew it up, and apply it to the wound while waiting for a moment to detoxify.
Of course, this Yellow Rank Second-Tier Coagulation Grass wasn’t easy to find!
However, fortunately for Ye Tian, he had gathered one while collecting herbs a few days ago and currently had it stored at home. But this also put Ye Tian in a tough spot; he certainly couldn’t just leave the girl who was unconscious from snake venom alone in the deep mountains to fend for herself. So...
“I’m so tired! I’ve been carrying you for an hour!” Although the girl couldn’t hear him at all, Ye Tian continued to complain non-stop along the way.
After walking for about half an hour, the trees ahead began to thin out, and the familiar outline of the market gradually came into view.
"Finally, we're almost there..." Ye Tian sighed in relief, but before he could finish his breath, a group of people suddenly rushed towards him from a distance.
"It seems to be over there!"
"What did that kid do to Second Miss?"
Accompanied by the noise, a dozen figures finally appeared in front of Ye Tian. Leading them was a beautiful young woman in her twenties dressed in white. Behind her were two young men, one strong and one slender, while the rest of the group wore similar clothing, all with an intricate character for 'Cold' embroidered on their sleeves.
"Jing Shuang!" One of the slightly taller and thinner boys showed a worried expression and shouted at the girl on Ye Tian's back.
"She fainted. Are you from the Cold Family?" Ye Tian replied calmly.
"Indeed!" The sturdier boy's face showed a proud expression, but he quickly questioned, "Tell me! How did she faint? Is it related to you?"
Ye Tian felt quite displeased at his words and was about to retort when the beautiful woman stepped forward, her icy gaze sweeping over the sturdy boy.
"Leng Yong! Do not be rude!"
Upon meeting the beautiful woman's gaze, Leng Yong immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, awkwardly smiling as he stepped aside.
"This young brother, my name is Cold Moon. I am Frosty's sister. My sister..." Cold Moon pointed at the girl on Ye Tian's back and said with a smile.
Ye Tian thought to himself, "So she is Cold Moon. I've heard her strength has already reached Five-Stage Warrior. She's truly remarkable for a woman."
"Oh, she was poisoned by the Purple Blood Snake, which is why she is unconscious."
"What!"
"Second Miss!"
Upon hearing this news, the crowd behind them erupted in an uproar, and even Cold Moon wore a worried expression. Within the Martial Sovereign realm, people knew very little about spiritual medicines, and their understanding of how to counteract the Purple Blood Snake's poison was still stuck on the extremely complicated method of forcing it out with elemental energy.
"What should we do! I heard that the Purple Blood Snake's poison is extremely difficult to resolve, and one must at least be a Sixth-Stage Martial Artist to force it out..."
"And I heard that if this snake venom is not resolved within four hours, the consequences could be..."
"Sister Ningyue, hurry and take Sister Frost to Uncle Bo Yuan!"
"Yes! Looking across the entire Spirit Martial Town, it seems only Uncle Bo Yuan can reach that level!"
Faced with her two younger brothers' urging, Cold Moon furrowed her brows tightly and sighed heavily, saying, "Father... has gone out on business and probably won't be back for at least five days..."
This news hit like thunder, leaving all the members of the Cold Family present dumbfounded, staring blankly as if they were puppets. The atmosphere in the room turned tense and oppressive.
Just when everyone felt helpless, a calm voice emerged.
"Follow me; I have a way."
As Ye Tian spoke these words, the crowd erupted once more, with the loudest voice belonging to the burly youth Leng Yong.
He spoke in a highly contemptuous tone, "Hmph, what arrogance! A mere street urchin dares to act all mysterious here!"
"Yeah! He should take a look at himself!"
"The young lady wouldn't dare say such things; this kid is truly too arrogant!"
"Look at him! At most, he's just a Three-Stage Martial Artist, yet he dares to claim he has a way for Second Miss!"
Under Leng Yong's lead, the group of guards began to chatter and criticize Ye Tian.
"Shut up!" A sharp voice came from Cold Moon.
"Life is at stake. Little brother, do you really have a solution?" After scolding everyone, Cold Moon turned to Ye Tian with some skepticism.
Ye Tian had been patient due to Cold Moon's politeness and had refrained from retorting. However, at this moment, he finally felt a bit impatient and coldly replied, "Believe it or not!" With that, he set down the Cold Frost on his back and turned to leave.
Cold Moon hesitated. After all, entrusting her sister's life to such a young boy seemed like an extremely unwise choice. But at this point, what other options did she have but to trust him?
"Sigh..." After letting out a soft sigh, Cold Moon called out to Ye Tian while thinking, "The situation is urgent; I can only treat this dead horse as a live one!"
