"I was really scared just now, thank you for saving me." Tao Linger thought of the first thing she said and felt a bit embarrassed, lowering her head in shame.

  "Of course Ill save you, were friends," Zhang Ye said curiously.

  "Friend?" Tao Linger gazed at him, shaking her head after a long while. "I dont have friends, Im always alone in the mountains."

  "Youre really pitiful, I didnt have it before either, but now we do, dont we?" Zhang Ye said.

  "Hmm, were friends now." Taolinger smiled mischievously.

  She was about to say something more to Zhang Ye when she suddenly noticed a change in his demeanor. The gentle and calm disposition seemed to have vanished into thin air, replaced by an astonishing aura that was almost otherworldly.

  "Zhang Ye" slightly raised some heads, showing a kind of elegant arrogance that Tao Linger had never thought would have.

  Linger immediately changed her tone, "You..."

  "You go ahead, Im busy." Zhang Ye said softly.

  "Dont you want to talk to me anymore? Arent we friends?" Tao Linger said.

  "You dont deserve it, go away." Zhang Ye still looked up with his head raised.

  "Waaah, Linger hates you. I dont have any friends." She turned around and ran away as fast as her legs could carry her, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  @#￥。

  Zhang Ye showed a very unhappy expression, scratching his head and jumping up in anxiety: "Whats wrong with you? Why did you scare my friend away?"

  "Am I that scary? Was she scared away? She was inferior, shouldnt she be inferior in front of me?" Zǐ Yī slightly raised her face as sharp as a knife.

  Zhang Ye couldnt take it from her. This woman was always so sharp-tongued, so calm and collected, scolding people and making them angry, yet she always had such an elegant demeanor, it was infuriating.

  Zhang Ye left Shi Hai and said: "Brother really doesnt care about you anymore."

  "Its up to you." Zi Yi said and returned to Bihuagou to meditate.

  Sitting on the ground and resting, Zhang Ye suddenly slapped his forehead, oh no, I dont know if Xiaobao was poisoned to death or not?

  He hastily took Xiaobao out of the Seven Treasures Gourd. Looking over, this guy was still snoring, with no signs of anything being amiss.

  Just swallowed a lot of poisonous smoke, Xiaobao turned into a big fat man.

  It seems that the toxic smoke has been digested a bit, and Xiaobaos belly is not too bloated. Moreover, it looks like the little guy has grown up a bit.

  "Xiao Bao wake up." Zhang Ye shook him vigorously.

  Xiao Bao woke up, stuck out his tongue and licked Zhang Ye, then continued sleeping.

  "?" Zhang Ye was puzzled.

  Really, Xiaobao has indeed grown up a bit compared to before, and now looks almost like a big dog.

  In the past, Xiaobao grew very slowly. Ordinary dogs only take a year to basically look like adult dogs. But after five years, Xiaobao had taken away quite a bit of Zhang Yes food allowance and was still just a medium-sized dog.

  "Alright, Ill let you off this time, but dont eat randomly in the future."

  Zhang Ye couldnt find the reason and didnt bother much, stroked the fur of this guy again, and put it back to sleep in the seven-treasure gourd.

  Not far from the Tai Xuan mountain range, a valley, a small thatched cottage, Tao Linger sat in front of the door, looking at some place in the distance, thinking about her friend.

  Behind Tao Linger stood a young woman with deep and sharp eyes, and a hint of vicissitudes: Tan Siqin.

  Taolinger turned her head and saw it was not unexpected, calling out in a low voice: "Mother."

  Tan Siqins eyes flashed with a hint of kindness for an instant, but it was gone in a flash. She said lightly, "I told you, even when theres no one around, you cant call me that."

  "But I want to call out, doesnt Linger have any friends, cant even call out for her mother?" Tao Linger said stubbornly.

  Tan Siqin sighed softly and said: "The black smoke just now, I had a premonition that it was coming, but I couldnt find you in that place?"

  Tao Linger said: "A friend saved me, his name is Zhang Ye. A disciple of Tai Xuan Men."

  "Zhang Ye." Tan Siqin called out. After a moment of stunned silence, she came back to herself and said: "Lets go back with me, this place cant be stayed in anymore."

  。。。

  Zhang Ye sat quietly in meditation in the wilderness.

  Just a battle, seemingly short in time, but every move is perilous, almost all-out, and the consumption of energy and spirit is very severe.

  Whats more depressing is that the flying sword given by Master Xu Ying was almost taken away by the opponent in the first battle after leaving the sect, fortunately, the opponent lost the Wolf Poison Smoke and was distracted, seemingly neglecting their defense, only then was the flying sword retrieved.

  This incident planted a seed in his heart for the first time: the law treasure cannot be used recklessly, otherwise it would be a loss.

  Im sure the other party is also heartbroken that a lot of Wolf Poison Smoke was swallowed by Xiaobao. The Wolf Poison Smoke is also a treasure, and Zhang Ye doesnt know the specific method of refining it, but the purple-robed man definitely knows, but Zhang Ye doesnt want to ask him. He has never liked such evil things.

  It wasnt until late at night that Zhang Ye finally came out of his trance-like state.

  His meridians are different from those of ordinary people. Not only can he circulate more cycles than others, but also runs faster and recovers quickly.

  As a general cultivator, he had reached the sixth layer of Qi refinement, and his accumulation of true energy was not small. However, once he experienced intense battles and severe consumption, it was rare for him to recover on his own through meditation, as it took too long and there were too many variables. This was when the use of Gathering Origin Pills came in handy, which was why pills were so important.

  Just now, with just two Aggregating Origin Pills, its enough to recover the entire true energy of the sixth layer of Qi Refining.

  Of course, Zhang Ye was probably worth two and a half, because his true energy accumulation was thicker than that of people in the same realm.

  Thought about it for a moment. The first battle wasnt as difficult as I imagined, but instead was somewhat exciting and left me looking forward to the next one. Not sure where this subconsciousness came from, whether its inherited through blood or not.

  In summary, this time I didnt gain much, but for the control of true energy and the application experience of Pseudo Tai Xuan Palm, I gained a bit more.

  Zhang Ye was unwilling to waste this good opportunity. First, he practiced the Tai Chi Fist for a round, then the Xuan Kong Palm for another round. After considering for a long time, he finally decided to practice the combined Pseudo Tai Xuan Palm for one more round.

  This time I gained a lot, with a sense of filtering out the sand and revealing the true gold.

  The bodys muscles and bones were further tempered, and his understanding of the Xuan Kong Palm also became even more profound.

  Although he had modified it before and was diligent in practice, after all, it was just a paper talk. The arena is always the easiest place for people to understand, but many times, those who have understood the repairers do not have the opportunity to bring their experience and understanding back alive...

  Zhang Ye took it very seriously and after summarizing his first thrilling battle since debut, he gained a lot.

  He continued on his way. Without a sense of direction, Zhang Ye didnt even know what he was supposed to do on this trip. He didnt bother to think about it either and simply chose a random direction to head in.

  For this journey, Zhang Ye was still full of confidence, vaguely feeling that the next battle was just waiting in the not-too-distant future.

  "Hmm... Oh yeah..."

  After walking for a long time in the wilderness, when passing through a forest, Zhang Ye heard an eerie voice from a woman.

  "Theres a situation."

  Zhang Ye Lian rose into the air and stood on a treetop, like a little monkey, gazing out at the distance.

  Not far away, there was a pool of water, and under the willow trees by the pool, two people were fiddling with something.

  I dont know whats going on, but I saw a naked man pouncing on a woman, his buttocks rising and falling.

  "Good guy."

  Zhang Ye felt he had encountered a difficult problem, so he quietly moved closer and hid in another tree to observe.

  "Uh... damn it... spare me... ah..." The woman being pinned down by the man made this sound.

  After a glance, Zhang Ye found that the man began to exert his strength, as if a battle had entered its final stage.

  Zhang Ye clenched his fists, but still hadnt made a move. He needed to observe some more.

  In theory, Zhang Ye thought that the woman scolding the man was a "ghost" and yet pleaded for mercy, apparently being bullied by a monster. But upon closer observation, Zhang Ye also discovered that the woman did not have a hurt expression, but rather looked very pleased. This is troublesome.

  Zhang Ye continued to observe.

  This time, he decided to fight a beautiful battle and couldnt be careless. First, observe carefully what kind of tricks this bad guy has.

  Pfft pfft, oh yeah...

  Zhang Ye observed for a long time and felt that it was becoming more and more unreliable. The man seemed to have launched a fierce attack, but the woman who had begged for mercy earlier was also defending herself with ease, advancing and retreating freely.

  Zhang Ye decided to wait and see. Why not take action when the woman couldnt hold on anymore?

  Zhang Ye thought his plan was quite good.

  XXOO。

  The man launched a final fierce attack, then collapsed on the womans body, panting violently.

  He was defeated? Zhang Ye finally put his mind at ease.
