Feng Zhirou flew into a rage when she heard this. “Ye Yuan! Who do you think you are? Just your puny bit of strength isn’t even fit to carry shoes for this young lady. Isn’t it just a one-way route to hell if you go to the Crimson Summit Ridge?”
“Gorgeous, don’t flatter yourself. I don’t want to carry shoes for you. Also, just because you’re strong, it doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely be fine. My strength is not as great as yours, but I also won’t do something just to die in vain. Understood?”
“You! I’m not going anymore! I want to see just how you’re going to come out from the Crimson Summit Ridge!” Feng Zhirou stomped her feet angrily and then stopped.
Ye Yuan still did not turn his head back. He kept moving forward with gusto without the slightest intention of stopping.
Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan had mingled for some time already. They more or less understood a little of the other party’s temper and personality.
Regardless whether it was the great life and death battle with Lin Tiancheng or challenging the Nine Heavens Road later on, Ye Yuan never did anything he was not confident in.
And even though this Ye Yuan’s strength was not great, his various means were inexhaustible. She had never seen him suffer a loss.
Not that she had never seen Ye Yuan be at a disadvantage before. The only time she saw it seemed to be from her hands. That one sword nearly cost him his life.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s figure about to disappear from her line of sight, Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and displayed her movement technique to catch up.
“This fellow completely doesn’t know to give in to girls a little. Such a blockhead! Maddening this princess to death!” Feng Zhirou said huffily.
Ye Yuan’s pace was not quick. In a blink of an eye, Feng Zhirou caught up.
Without waiting for Ye Yuan to speak, Feng Zhirou said irately, “Don’t think too much into it, Ye Yuan! I just don’t want to be scolded by Aunty when I get back, that’s why I’m continuing to protect you! If you die in the Endless Forest, she will definitely not spare me when I return.”
Ye Yuan’s back faced Feng Zhirou as he simply smiled and kept mum.
If he could, Ye Yuan naturally did not wish to go to Crimson Summit Ridge either. But one of the core ingredients of the Essence Yang Pill, Crimson Soul Grass, just happened to be growing in the habitat of the Long-arm Stone Apes. He had no choice but to go!
The Long-arm Stone Ape was a demonic social beast. Furthermore, their strength was very great! Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists did not dare to freely intrude. No wonder Feng Zhirou’s reaction was so big.
. . . . . .
After four hours, inside a dense forest, a faint blue pretty figure suddenly swung a sword and killed a demonic beast opposite her.
The pretty figure landed on the ground panting daintily and her fragrant sweat dripping.
This was already the third Tier 2 demonic beast that Feng Zhirou killed!
Apart from these Tier 2 beasts, she even killed no less than ten Tier 1 demonic beasts.
After killing so demonic beasts, Feng Zhirou’s essence energy consumption was naturally enormous.
While at the side, Ye Yuan remained composed as he looked at Feng Zhirou who was dripping fragrant sweat without the slightest intention to come over and help.
“Do you still have humanity, Ye Yuan? I came to help you, but you’ve been standing idly by all this while!” Feng Zhirou currently wished that she could split Ye Yuan with one sword.
As for Feng Zhirou’s sword, Ye Yuan was not too concerned.
Although he was not Feng Zhirou’s match at the moment, it was no longer possible for Feng Zhirou to try and kill him with a sword like last time.
“My great missus, it’s you who are noble and refused to eat the Breath Concealing Pill. Now, you are blaming me for attracting demonic beasts? I have a lot of places I want to go, how would I have the energy to keep wasting time along the way like this? Let’s not talk about whether you will encounter powerful demonic beasts if you slaughter your way over or not, just the exhaustion will wear you out dead tired.” Ye Yuan said grumpily.
The Endless Forest was infinitely vast. The distance to the Crimson Summit Ridge from the borders was a thousand miles. To human martial artists, it was already a very deep place.
Even though Ye Yuan had a map of the outer regions of the Endless Forest and could do a detour to avoid some danger zones, it would take too much time.
He could afford to dawdle, but Lu-er could not!
So he could only walk in a straight line!
Consuming the Breath Concealing Pill could minimize trouble to the limits. Yet Feng Zhirou refused to eat it.
Ye Yuan also knew Feng Zhirou’s temper. Advising her was useless. Only by letting her suffer some hardship would she change her mind.
Indeed, now that Ye Yuan said that, Feng Zhirou suddenly had a revelation.
No wonder along the way, demonic beasts did not attack Ye Yuan and just pounced towards her vigorously as if they did not see Ye Yuan. So this was actually the reason!
Feng Zhirou knew Ye Yuan’s alchemy standards, so she naturally would not doubt his medicinal pills.
It was just whenever she thought of that unbearable stench, Feng Zhirou would just shrink back.
Seeing Feng Zhirou’s expression change several times, Ye Yuan fished out that medicinal pill again and said, “Senior Apprentice Sister, if you plan on following me forward, just swallow this medicinal pill in one breath. Otherwise, we can only part here. You’re also aware that I came to the Endless Forest this time because of important matters. Time is very precious. If we continue like this, you will only become my burden!”
Although she really did not want to admit it, it was just as Ye Yuan said. She would only become Ye Yuan’s burden if this continued.
Feng Zhirou was extremely competitive. She could not accept the fact of becoming a baggage that needed to be carried around.
Thinking up to here, Feng Zhirou reached out to snatch the medicinal pill in Ye Yuan’s hand, and swallowed it with her eyes shut,
The pill entered her mouth, and Feng Zhirou realized that it was not as nasty as she imagined it to be. In fact, it carried a faint trace of fragrance in the mouth which overflowed her entire body!
Looking at that smile of Ye Yuan’s like his scheme had succeeded, Feng Zhirou temper flared up out of nowhere.
She pointed her sword at Ye Yuan and said furiously, “Did you make fun of me on purpose? I’ll kill you!”
Ye Yuan hurried dodged and laughed out loud. “My great missus, can you be reasonable? Do you think that if I tell you right from the start, you would believe it?”
Hearing that, Feng Zhirou was stunned. What Ye Yuan said was really true.
Each person knew their temper the best. Even if Ye Yuan explained just how delicious that medicinal pill was from the beginning, there was no way she would have consumed it!

Feng Zhirou consumed the Breath Concealing Pill. There was no harassment from demonic beasts along the way, so the pair’s advancement speed increased significantly.
After half a day, the two people walked almost half of the journey. But Ye Yuan suddenly stopped.
“Why aren’t you walking?” Feng Zhirou asked.
“There’s good stuff!”
Finishing, Ye Yuan pranced forth and arrived in front of a cave. Feng Zhirou was also very curious as she tagged along.
Feng Zhirou was about to ask again when Ye Yuan gestured with his hand to keep silent. He transmitted his voice, “There should be a type of herb in this cave called the Goodwall Flower. However, this flower tends to have Iron-Paw Flying Bears guarding it.”
Feng Zhirou asked puzzledly, “Why do you know again?” 1
“Some precious herbs not only have associated beasts but also have associated plants. This stretch of blue sandalwood forest is the Goodwall
Flower’s accompanying plant. The blue sandalwood can secrete a type of liquid into the soil, and this liquid is precisely the Goodwall Flower’s nourishment!” Ye Yuan explained.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s explanation, Feng Zhirou was dumbstruck.
She felt that Ye Yuan was simply omniscient and omnipotent. Just merely passing by a stretch of blue sandalwood forest and he actually discovered the highly rare Goodwall Flower.
As an alchemist, Feng Zhirou naturally heard of the Goodwall Flower. It was a very rare Tier 2 medicinal herb.
Except that the Herbal Essentials did not describe the Goodwall Flower in detail. Clearly, the author Li Shizhen himself was unclear of the source and use of this flower. 2
Something which an Alchemy Sovereign did not even understand, yet Ye Yuan could enumerate it like his family’s treasures. Just what kind of heaven-defying existence was that teacher behind him?!
Ignoring that teacher, Ye Yuan himself was only 15 years old. What kind of genius could learn so many things when they were 15?
However, Feng Zhirou would only keep her astonishment a secret. Her mouth was condescending, and she said, “You know a lot huh?! In a while, if we can’t find these Goodwall Flowers, let’s see what you have to say.”
Ye Yuan smiled and did not clarify. He transmitted his voice to her, “Later, you lure the Iron-Paw Flying Bear away. I’ll go and retrieve the herb.”
Feng Zhirou immediately frowned heavily when she heard that and even forget to transmit her voice as she responded indignantly, “Are you mistaken, Ye Yuan? You are a grown man yet you keep making women do dangerous things! Go if you want, I’m not going!”
Ye Yuan gave an innocent look and said, “You came to protect me, Senior Apprentice Sister. Can you bear to watch me go and die? An Iron Paw Flying Bear is a Tier 2 demonic beasts with high speed and great strength. If I go, it’s equal to casting away my life!”
“I don’t care. Either way, I’m not going!” Feng Zhirou’s willfulness acted up.
“Roar!”
Right then, a huge roar sounded out. The pair’s arguing sounds startled the Iron Paw Flying bear inside the cave!
A colossal figure gradually appeared from the pitch black cave with a body full of fur. It was precisely an adult Iron Paw Flying Bear.
“Damn, we alerted the Iron Paw Flying Bear. Quickly run!” Feng Zhirou shrieked and turned around to run away.
After running a few steps, Feng Zhirou suddenly realized that something was wrong. Turning back, she found out that Ye Yuan did not even move!
“What are you standing stupidly there for, Ye Yuan? Quickly run! We aren’t a match for the Iron Paw Flying Bear!” Feng Zhirou yelled.
Iron Paw Flying Bears had very explosive tempers. Seeing Ye Yuan stand there without moving at all, it swiftly locked onto him.
Whoosh!
The Iron Paw Flying Bear roared again and pounced at Ye Yuan with lightning speed.
But Ye Yuan remained motionless right there like he was scared silly.
Feng Zhirou did not expect that this sort of situation would occur. The Iron Paw Flying Bear’s attack power was very strong. If its palm landed fully, how could Ye Yuan survive?
Although Feng Zhirou liked to bicker with Ye Yuan, it did not mean that she could really watch Ye Yuan die like that.
In a blink of an eye, the Iron Paw Flying Bear already crossed several dozen meters. That titanic bear paw already smacked down towards Ye Yuan.
Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth and shot towards Ye Yuan with her movement technique at full blast.
Ding!
The Iron Paw Flying Bear and Feng Zhirou’s sword had intimate contact and actually released intense metal scratching sounds with sparks!
The Iron Paw Flying Bear’s bear paw was brushed away, but Feng Zhirou retreated several steps in succession. A surge of blood swelled in her chest.
The name of Iron Paw of the Iron Paw Flying Bear was well-deserved. The strength of a pair of bear paws was actually comparable to magic artifacts!
Feng Zhirou’s sword was naturally a rare high-rank magic artifact. But it was actually unable to leave any injury on the bear paw!
Right then, Ye Yuan turned around to look at Feng Zhirou. He smiled and said, “Many thanks to Senior Apprentice Sister Feng for saving me. Since you’re already matched up, then I’ll have to trouble you to lure it away.”
“You! You actually made use of me!” Feng Zhirou was exasperated. Only now did she react to being tricked by Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was not unable to evade, but he deliberately did not dodge just to wait for her to come back and save him.
Now was clearly not the time to chat. The Iron Paw Flying Bear already arrived in front of their eyes. Wanting to run away now was useless.
Since it was named Iron Paw Flying Bear, it could be seen that it was big but not clumsy. It had extremely swift movements.
The Iron Paw Flying Bear seemed to be enraged. It howled again but disregarded Ye Yuan and pounced towards Feng Zhirou.
Feng Zhirou swept a cold glance at Ye Yuan and said, “I’ll settle the score with you later! Humph!”
Finishing, Feng Zhirou carried her sword and turned around, speeding out far away.
Ye Yuan chuckled and yelled at Feng Zhirou’s back, “Be careful, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng!”
After that, Ye Yuan walked over to the cave without hurrying at all.
The Iron Paw Flying Bear had an enormous build. The cave it chose was naturally very spacious.
The cave was not deep. Ye Yuan entered the cave and quickly found the Goodwall Flower. In fact, there were a total of several hundred stalks!
“Haha! With these Goodwall Flowers, I can nurture at least several hundred Crystal Formation Realm powerhouses! Such luxury!” Ye Yuan also did not expect that this cave had so many Goodwall Flowers inside.
The reason why Ye Yuan was unwilling to give up on these Goodwall Flowers was primarily because of the promise he made to Huyan Yong previously.
Back then, Feng Ruoqing guessed some parts. But she did not think that Ye Yuan could honor that promise so quickly.
The big gift Ye Yuan wanted to give Huyan Yong back then was to help him enter the Crystal Formation Realm!
Do not look at how Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was just that teeny bit away from Crystal Formation Realm. That little bit was so near, yet poles apart!
To the vast majority of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, the end point of their martial path was the peak Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm was absolutely like a thousand man army and ten thousand horses crossing a single log bridge. It was extremely difficult!
One had to know that it had already been over a dozen years since Su Yubai was stuck at half-step Crystal Formation Realm. Yet, he was unable to take that step. The difficulty of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm could be imagined.
According to Ye Yuan’s observations, Huyan Yong had the hope of breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm. It was just hard to determine the time.
With his help, Huyan Yong could shorten this step by at least 30 years!
Ye Yuan would naturally be using medicinal pills to aid Huyan Yong. The medicinal pill to help martial artists breakthrough into the Crystal Formation Realm was called the Crystal Formation Pill. An ordinary high-grade Crystal Formation Pill could increase the success rate of condensing crystal by 30%!
With Ye Yuan’s standards, as long as he broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, it would naturally be not just that!
And a Goodwall Flower was one of the core ingredients for the Crystal Formation Pill! With these Crystal Formation Pills, Ye Yuan could even create an army of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!
Such a force could virtually sweep across the Tranquil Cloud Ten Nations!

Placing these Goodwall Flowers inside h
is storage ring, Ye Yuan continued to search the deeper parts of the cave.
As an alchemist, Ye Yuan was very familiar with the living habits of all sorts of demonic beasts.
The Iron Paw Flying Bear was not just the accompanying beast for the Goodwall Flower. It also retained some habits of bears, for example, their love for eating honey!
Some honey was extremely precious. Ye Yuan just wanted to try his luck by going in.
This cave was very tidy. Clearly, that Iron Paw Flying Bear cherished this place greatly.
Before long, Ye Yuan saw a stone mound. The stone mound was slightly larger than that Iron Paw Flying Bear. It was clear that this was where it rested.
Ye Yuan surveyed the surroundings and went over to examine a lump of honey and could not help being thrilled.
“It’s actually Silver Sword Bee honey, and there’s so much! I really struck gold! Looks like that big stupid bear couldn’t bear to eat it and hoarded it here. Didn’t think that I would profit from this. Heh heh, with this thing, I can also justify to Feng Zhirou that lass later. Otherwise, she would definitely split me in half.”
Silver Sword Bee was similarly a Tier 2 demonic beasts. Furthermore, its attack power was very strong, and its sting was highly toxic. The average person dared not approach it.
Looks like that stupid great bear’s skin is really thick. To actually finish off a Silver Sword Bee’s beehive. Truly impressive!
Silver Sword Bee’s honey was extremely hard to come by. The effects of just directly consuming it was not inferior to a transcendent-grade Essence Qi Pill!
After Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, his cultivation would similarly require large quantities of medicinal pills.
The medicinal pill commonly used in the Endless World when cultivating at the Spirit Condensation Realm was called Essence Drop Pill. Ye Yuan obviously would not use such a low-level medicinal pill. He was prepared to refine a medicinal pill called Jade Water Pill. Its effect was more than a level stronger than the Essence Drop Pill.
And the Silver Sword Bee’s honey was precisely one of the core ingredients to refine the Jade Water Pill!
