"An accident? A loss is a loss. Let me see the injury." The old man walked forward unhappily, placing his palm on Tantai's wrist, his brow slightly furrowing.
"So strong a chill, this is the power of the Great Freezing Hell Prison? Did you encounter the grandson of the Great Freezing Hell King?" the old man said to Tantai.
"No, it seemed to be someone from the Snow Clan." Tantai shook his head, causing the old man to look up at him: "Members of the Snow Clan have also arrived in the Holy City?"
"Yeah, a few young clansmen, extremely arrogant." Tantai said somewhat displeased, a look of recollection appearing on his face: "But the Snow Clan girls are quite lovely, as if you could squeeze water out of them."
As he spoke, Tantai revealed a simple-minded smile, causing the old man to roll his eyes: "You're starting to think about women now, are you? The Snow Clan's women are naturally beautiful, but don't go provoking them for me, lest you bring trouble upon yourself. As for this injury of yours, it's somewhat troublesome. I'll go back and brew some medicine for you. You know what to do yourself."
"Don't worry, old man. I trust you to heal the injury. At most, give me some better medicine, and I'll devour this cold force and make it my own." Tantai grinned, as if being injured was a very joyful thing.
Lin Feng had been standing by without speaking, but he paid close attention to Tantai's words. There were also members of the Snow Clan in the Holy City Province.
"Little one, come along too." The old man said to Lin Feng. Lin Feng nodded slightly, and the group left the area, arriving at a simple cottage. This was also a small world, but it was completely different from the small worlds Lin Feng had seen before. This small world had no pavilions or towers, no small bridges or flowing water. It seemed like a very desolate primeval forest, but medicinal herbs could be seen everywhere, untended, allowed to grow freely. As for the dwellings of the people here, they were also very simple—thatched huts and earthen houses.
This gave Lin Feng an illusion, as if he had returned to the ancient tribal era, especially with Tantai's image making it even more fitting.
Arriving at the cottage, the old man began to light a fire and brew medicine, using simple flames, a simple stove, no special cauldron, and no exotic flames.
"Lin Feng, does it feel strange?" the Great Pest asked, sitting casually on the ground with Lin Feng. Tantai also sat nearby, the big man appearing as if he were standing even while seated.
"It is somewhat strange." Lin Feng nodded slightly.
"I felt the same when I first arrived, but I got used to it later. These ancient tribesmen seem to still live like people from the barbaric era. Even when treating those at the Spirit Martial or Mysterious Martial Realm, they are very meticulous, always relying on brewing medicine to heal them. Later, I learned that this is related to the tribe's heritage. They all cultivate the Medicine Scripture, something left by their ancestors from ancient times. By combining various medicinal herbs, they can produce all sorts of miraculous effects. Healing is never simple healing; they can turn injuries into their own power, gaining benefits instead. It's very strange."
The Great Pest explained to Lin Feng, leaving Lin Feng speechless. Truly, every ancient clan had its own peculiarities. This seemed to be an extremely ancient tribe as well.
"So they deliberately seek to be injured?" Lin Feng said, but to his surprise, the Great Pest actually nodded: "You're right. The people of this tribe fight every day. They are born a battle race. They heal and fight again, their battle blood burning. And unlike outsiders who take pills to directly step into the Heavenly Martial Realm at a young age, the people of this ancient tribe prefer to cultivate slowly at the beginning, constantly developing their potential. Only when their potential reaches a certain level do they unleash their cultivation, at which point their cultivation advances by leaps and bounds, a thousand miles in a day."
Hearing the Great Pest's words, Lin Feng glanced at Tantai beside him. No wonder he was so robust.
"But how is this potential developed? Also through medicine?" Lin Feng asked.
"En. How great an achievement a person of our tribe can make depends on their cultivation state at the age of fifteen. These fifteen years are the most important fifteen years for our tribe. Using medicine to nourish the body, no matter your birth conditions, you can reshape your physical body, bloodline, and even will and soul within these fifteen years. Our tribe's Medicine Scripture says that the body of a martial artist, whether blood, meridians, or soul, is composed of endless particles. At birth, if these particles are like a weak infant, they possess infinite potential for growth. By fully developing the potential of the particles, the infant can become a giant, and the human body composed of countless giants can achieve divinity."
"From birth to fifteen years is the period of nurturing strength, accumulating full energy for future breakthroughs. When the potential erupts, one possesses terrifying power."
Tantai explained to Lin Feng, shocking Lin Feng's heart. In this era of pursuing martial arts, there were actually people in ancient times who had already understood such profound principles. The particles mentioned in the Medicine Scripture were none other than every cell of the human body!
"Injury is the same. Injury is actually external particle force trying to erase the particles within the body. Taking pills or using life force to heal is naturally possible, but the people of my tribe prefer to use medicine to regulate. Not only does it cure the root cause, but it also disperses the energy that harmed me throughout my body, turning it into a trace of energy for my endless particles, which instead benefits us."
Tantai spoke clearly, smiling at Lin Feng: "But I haven't fully understood these ancestral teachings either. I'm just speaking casually. Lin Feng, don't take it too seriously. Of course, I think the ancestors had their reasons."
"I think so too. Your ancestors' wisdom is extraordinary." Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
"You can understand what I'm saying?" Tantai looked at Lin Feng curiously. Although he knew the principle, he himself couldn't fully comprehend it. He just followed the ancestors' cultivation methods.
"I can understand some of it." Lin Feng said with a smile. Coming from another world and having learned the civilization of another world, it was naturally easier for him to understand Tantai's words.
"Lin Feng, the medicinal techniques of this tribe are indeed formidable. My body has been reformed by the seniors. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have become an emperor so quickly." The Great Pest grinned. That battle with Tantai back then was also a kind of fortune, allowing him to enter this tribe, which suited him very well.
"By the way, Lin Feng, you haven't told me about yourself. How have you been these years? How did you end up here?" the Great Pest asked Lin Feng.
"Just like this, stumbling along the way. I arrived at the Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital not long ago. This time, I'm heading to the Holy City Province. I happened to pass by here and was carried in by those little fellows." Lin Feng smiled casually. The events of these years were not something that could be explained in a few words.
"You're going to the Holy City Province too? That's perfect. Wait until this guy's injury heals, and we'll set off together for the Holy City Province. But you need to cultivate hard and try to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm. There are many freakish people there, especially in the academies. There are numerous prodigies, and some young people directly dare to call themselves kings. The heart of the Qingxiao Land gathers the geniuses from all directions of Qingxiao. I feel my cultivation is too weak."
The Great Pest's eyes gleamed with sharpness, his barbaric dragon blood boiling: "Lin Feng, this place is much more powerful than the small world. I like this feeling."
"The Qingxiao Continent has endless territories and countless people. The Holy City Province, as the central city of the eighteen heavenly main cities, naturally gathers the most monstrous group of people from Qingxiao. How could it not be powerful?" Lin Feng said with a smile, his heart also filled with anticipation. Being in a world surrounded by geniuses allows for faster growth. If he, the Great Pest, or others had stayed in the small world, there would only be a handful of Martial Emperors. That kind of environment couldn't cultivate strong individuals—no environment, no opportunities.
In a great era of competition, heroes emerge!
"En. Those few from the Snow Clan are all very formidable. But the women are truly beautiful, just a bit cold. As for the men, they are detestable—as handsome as women, each one arrogant and haughty." The Great Pest said somewhat displeased.
"I'll blast that bastard sooner or later." Tantai, sitting nearby, spoke up.
"You shut up." The old man brewing medicine shouted at Tantai: "Stop causing trouble for me. Have you forgotten the lesson from before?"
"Hmph." Tantai snorted unhappily: "No one outside knows I'm from here. If I cause trouble, it won't implicate the tribe. As for the matter with Ling Tian, I remember it well. That bastard proclaimed himself king, putting on an air of dominating the world. One day, I'll kill him."
"Nonsense." The old man seemed truly angry this time, saying: "Tantai, weigh yourself properly. Don't do impulsive things. Not implicate the tribe? Have you forgotten the matter with Ling Tian? Do you want me to watch you die without doing anything?"
"Old man, it's not as serious as you say. Don't worry. Before I can kill him, I won't clash with him." Tantai said very dejectedly. But it was too difficult to deal with that person. In the past, Ling Tian's talent had shaken the tribe, but he still lost to that person. Now, that person had already been enfeoffed as king, dominating the masses, how majestic he was.
