Chapter 73

After Ye Feng arrived by Li Yuncun's side, he nodded to Huolie and the others, then took the herbs, made Li Yuncun swallow half of them, and crushed the other half to apply on his wounds, bandaging him up.

Although Ye Feng did not know what kind of poison was used by Wohu Mountain, he believed it was a type produced in the outer regions of the Tianlang Mountain Range, and in large quantities, otherwise they wouldn't be so extravagant, coating all their weapons with the poisonous herbs.

Knowing the nature of this poison, Ye Feng naturally found a way to detoxify it. However, he did not expect that after screening, it would turn out to be a common herb with mild toxicity. But after some thought, he understood the principle of using poison to counteract poison.

"Alright, let's find a place to camp!"

After finishing everything, Ye Feng looked at the sky and said.

Li Yuncun's severe injuries were not suitable for travel, so they settled in a nearby cave. This was originally the territory of a sixth-stage fierce beast, the Golden-feathered Hawk, so it was unlikely that any other fierce beasts would come here for a while, and the few of them felt more at ease.

Ye Feng and the others did not notice that after they entered the cave, a person staggered to his feet from the place where the Wohu Mountain people had been and ran off into the distance.

"Little brother, are you a pharmacist?"

After they were all settled, Guo Qianqian asked Ye Feng with curiosity.

Although the others were convinced, especially after seeing Li Yuncun's bleeding stop and his wounds showing signs of healing within a few hours, they still felt it was hard to believe without Ye Feng's personal confirmation.

After all, Ye Feng was not yet sixteen, a peak fifth-stage warrior, and also a pharmacist. How could they live with that?

Hearing Guo Qianqian's words, the others also looked at Ye Feng.

After hearing Guo Qianqian's words, Ye Feng did not say anything, just nodded.

For him now, revealing his identity as a pharmacist would not cause too many problems. At the very least, they already had the ability to protect themselves, especially after studying in the Tianbao Pavilion's library, which gave him a deeper understanding of the path of pharmacists.

Although he had not tested himself, according to the descriptions in the Fangzheng Book, he was not weaker than a mid-level pharmacist and even excelled in some areas. As for what level he had reached, there were no records in the Tianbao Pavilion or Fangzheng.

Even so, Ye Feng did not dare to be complacent. After all, this world was too mysterious, and there was still much for him to learn. At the very least, he recognized only a fraction of the countless herbs.

Moreover, there was the path of alchemy. Although it had many flaws, after thousands of years of inheritance, it must have its outstanding aspects. However, his current knowledge was still very limited, and this was a wilderness. He had to go further to see more and gradually understand this world.

Sigh...

Seeing Ye Feng nod, the others all drew in a breath, their eyes flashing with a strange light when they looked at him.

Although they had already guessed, it was different from Ye Feng's personal confirmation.

...

Two days later, Li Yuncun was almost fully recovered. Although he had lost a lot of blood, the flesh of fifth and sixth-stage fierce beasts was a great tonic. Ye Feng had once broken through from the first to the second stage of body training with just a piece of such flesh, showing how powerful it was.

If not for their high levels and the strengthening of their bodies, they would not dare to eat this flesh recklessly.

Even Huolie and the others, though not body trainers, had their physical strength enhanced to the fifth or sixth stage of body training due to the cultivation of spiritual energy and the nourishment of food and pills.

However, without pursuing the path of body training, the physical strength had a limit in absorbing spiritual energy. At this level, it was difficult to improve physically unless they changed to body training, consumed some rare treasures, or made a significant leap in cultivation.

Li Yuncun was different. Due to his injuries, his body was extremely weak, especially his blood and qi. The flesh of fierce beasts was more effective than anything else.

"Thank you for meeting Sister Qianqian and all of you. Ye Feng is leaving today!"

Seeing Li Yuncun recover, Ye Feng bowed and said.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, the others exchanged glances, a hint of reluctance in their eyes.

Although they knew this day would come, they were still unwilling to part with Ye Feng.

During the two days Li Yuncun was recovering, they also made great progress. Now all of them had reached the peak of the fifth stage, and breaking through to the sixth stage was just a matter of breaking the bottleneck.

This was not their greatest gain. The greatest gain was that the pill toxins in their bodies had been resolved by Ye Feng, making their future cultivation smoother.

At first, Ye Feng collected some herbs, boiled them into a soup, and made them drink it. Initially, they were hesitant, but due to their trust in Ye Feng, they drank it. If Ye Feng wanted to harm them, he had many opportunities and would not do so now. Therefore, they all drank the soup.

After drinking it, they knew what suffering was. They all had severe diarrhea, feeling weak and exhausted, and the excrement was extremely foul.

Initially, they were still doubtful, but when they thought of Ye Feng's identity as a pharmacist, they instantly realized that Ye Feng was helping them expel 'pill toxins.'

If they had been resistant to taking Ye Feng's medicine at first, now they were eager to take it, as they understood that expelling pill toxins was not easy.

Although other pharmacists could expel pill toxins, the drugs they used would develop resistance over time, making the effects weaker. Therefore, the number of times a person could expel pill toxins in their lifetime was limited.

Ye Feng naturally understood this, but his medicine was different. Other pharmacists expelled pill toxins based on the pills taken, while Ye Feng expelled them based on the human body, so his medicine had no limit on the number of times it could be used.

This was the fundamental difference between him and the pharmacists of this world.

Of course, he did not tell anyone this, as it would bring endless trouble if it were known.

Huolie and the others also mentioned the limit on the number of times one could expel pill toxins, but Ye Feng told them, "My medicine does not affect your ability to continue expelling toxins in the future."

Hearing this, Huolie and the others were very curious. When they asked Ye Feng, he only smiled faintly and did not speak, leaving them frustrated. They gradually realized that this might be Ye Feng's secret technique.

Secret techniques were fundamental for both warriors and pharmacists, so they gave up on further questioning.

After expelling the pill toxins, they felt their spiritual energy flow more smoothly, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy increased. The egg of the Golden-feathered Hawk was also shared among them.

Originally, they wanted to leave the egg for Ye Feng, but how could he accept that? After much persuasion, Ye Feng decided to share it.

Ye Feng only ate half of his share, leaving the other half for his younger brother, Ye Hao.

A sixth-stage fierce beast's egg helped them all reach the peak of the fifth stage. Huolie and Baiyu, who were originally in the late fifth stage, had already touched the threshold of the sixth stage and could enter it after some cultivation.

The egg of the Golden-feathered Hawk, which contained half the essence of a sixth-stage fierce beast, not only increased their cultivation but also widened and strengthened their meridians, making their breakthrough smoother.

As for Ye Feng, although he only ate half, he was already a peak fifth-stage warrior. The egg was the last straw that pushed him to the sixth stage.

However, due to the Concealment Technique, Ye Feng did not reveal his true strength, and to outsiders, he was still a fourth-stage warrior.

The breakthrough in spiritual energy further refined his physical strength. At this point, Ye Feng's physical strength was not inferior to any sixth-stage warrior, and his spiritual energy was more condensed than any sixth-stage warrior. At the initial sixth stage, his total spiritual energy was comparable to a peak sixth-stage warrior.

This further increased Ye Feng's strength.

In fact, Ye Feng's physical cultivation was now on track. As long as his spiritual energy nourished his body, his physical strength would increase. For others, they would need to train their bodies daily to reach their limits.
