I Grind to Martial Saint

"Besides, with the great reward we’ve offered, they’ll naturally side with us."

The lean man said, full of confidence.

Hearing this, his subordinate also relaxed.

After all, there was nothing wrong with that logic.

After waiting for quite a while,

Liao Feng finally hurried over with Liao Tu.

"Are you the ones looking for someone?"

Liao Tu asked in a deep voice.

The lean man took one look at the other party’s demeanor and tone of voice and figured he must be the tribe’s leader.

He said solemnly, "That would be me!"

"Then there’s no mistake."

"I’ll take you to him."

Liao Tu nodded.

"Sir, you know where this person is?"

The lean man hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly.

"Of course. You’ll find out soon enough."

Liao Tu said with a slight smile.

The lean man instantly felt that something was wrong with his smile.

The next moment, countless young and strong members of the Wuhuo Tribe, wielding Battle Spears, rushed out from all directions and surrounded the lean man and his group.

"Sir, what is the meaning of this?"

The lean man’s expression became flustered.

He never imagined the other party would turn on them so suddenly.

’Weren’t we just having a good conversation?’

"What’s the meaning of this?"

"You’ll find out soon enough!"

"Tie these people up!"

Liao Tu shouted coldly.

"Who dares!"

the lean man yelled.

The men from his caravan all drew their Weapons from the wooden crates.

But soon, including the lean man, they all felt a wave of weakness, unable to muster any strength in their muscles.

"We’ve been poisoned!"

The lean man realized it instantly.

It turned out that while they were waiting, besides gathering his men, Liao Tu had also been spreading poison.

Soon, the lean man and the others felt their vision go black, and they collapsed to the ground.

Liao Gu stepped out from among the tribesmen. He looked at the unconscious lean man and his group, his gaze cold.

Evidently, he was the one who had administered the poison.

With a wave from Liao Tu, the Wuhuo Tribe members moved forward and securely tied up the lean man and his people.

"Priest, what should we do with these people?"

Liao Tu asked.

"Deliver their leader to Hero Han..."

"As for the others, we’ll lock them up for now!"

Liao Gu thought for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

After all, they had come for Han Yuan.

This information naturally had to be passed along to him.

"Understood!"

Liao Tu also felt there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.

...

「Two more days passed.」

Night had quietly fallen.

Inside a wooden hut in the farthest corner,

Han Yuan sat cross-legged on his bed.

For the past several days, he had been focused entirely on arduous Cultivation.

Suddenly, a deep black aura erupted from his entire body, surging wildly.

RUMBLE~~~

The sound of his qi and blood flowing was exceptionally turbulent, as violent as a rising tide.

A dozen or so breaths later,

Han Yuan took a deep breath, inhaling all the black aura back through his nose before finally opening his eyes.

He opened his system panel.

Host: Han Yuan

Innate Great Demon Skill: Fifteenth Layer (1/18000)

Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber: Great Success (263/8000)

Celestial Spirit Divine Fist: Minor Success (4867/5000)

Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Perfection (Invincible Vajra)

...

’I’ve finally broken through to the Fifteenth Layer.’

’Without a Spiritual Land, my Cultivation speed is still a bit slow.’

Han Yuan felt a bit nostalgic for the days he spent cultivating in the Spiritual Land.

In the past few months, besides his Innate Great Demon Scripture breaking through to the Fifteenth Layer, his Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber had also reached the Great Success Realm.

But Han Yuan was not satisfied with his current Cultivation speed.

After learning the cause of the turmoil during the Chaotic Ancient Era from Chunyangzi, he felt a great sense of urgency.

Because the Source Seed Shredded Meat within Taicang Mountain had shown signs of activity, the Source Seed Shredded Meat in other locations would naturally awaken as well.

If that happened, a situation similar to the Chaotic Ancient Era would surely occur again.

And while his current Cultivation speed was already considered lightning-fast among Martial Artists, time waits for no one. Han Yuan felt he didn’t have much time left.

’Looks like I need to figure something out.’

Han Yuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and stood up from the bed.

Come to think of it, he hadn’t stepped outside in several months.

Staying cooped up in this small wooden hut, no matter how good his mental state was, he was bound to feel a little stifled.

CREAK.

Han Yuan pushed open the door of the wooden hut and walked out.

He found that it was already late at night, the moon bright and the stars sparse.

That fellow Ding Zihu was still awake, drinking a local fruit wine at the stone table.

Meanwhile, that rascal the Orange Cat was lying on the stone table, gnawing on a dried fish.

When Ding Zihu saw Han Yuan walk out, he blinked his eyes.

At first, he thought he was drunk and seeing things.

But now that he looked again, it really was Han Yuan.

"You’re finally out of seclusion!"

"Come have a drink!"

Ding Zihu said with a laugh, tossing a jar of wine to Han Yuan.

Han Yuan slapped the wooden stopper off the wine jar with his palm and began to drink in large gulps.

In the blink of an eye, he had drunk the entire jar.

"Meow~ I don’t understand you humans."

"What’s so good about this wine?"

the Orange Cat muttered after finishing its dried fish.

"Drinking is one of the great pleasures of being human!"

"Of course a Fat Thief like you wouldn’t understand!"

Ding Zihu laughed heartily.

"I have no desire to understand."

"Dried fish is still the best!"

As it spoke, the Orange Cat produced another dried fish from who knows where.

And so, Han Yuan and Ding Zihu began to drink.

Just as they were drinking, a vast expanse of Purple Mist suddenly lit up the distant, dark sky.

This strange phenomenon immediately caught the attention of Han Yuan and Ding Zihu.

"What is this phenomenon?"

Han Yuan asked.

"Purple Mist descending from the heavens... This is a sign of great fortune."

Ding Zihu said quickly.

"Great fortune..."

"I once witnessed the emergence of a Spiritual Land before, and a phenomenon also appeared in the sky."

"I seem to recall it looked like the entire sky was on fire, but that seems somewhat inferior compared to this descending Purple Mist."

Han Yuan muttered to himself as he gazed at the purple hue appearing in the distant sky.

"Your guess is correct."

"This is the sign of a Spiritual Land appearing."

An old voice spoke up.

Han Yuan and Ding Zihu turned their heads at the same time.

They saw Chunyangzi standing in front of the wooden hut, looking up at the sky as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Daoist Master, what grade do you think this Spiritual Land is?"

Han Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

"Judging from the celestial phenomenon, it should be a Middle Spiritual Land."

"It seems the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is growing denser. Even a Middle Spiritual Land is about to emerge."

Chunyangzi sighed with emotion.

In his era, there was only one Middle Spiritual Land, and it was located in the Great Ling Capital.

But now, a Middle Spiritual Land was emerging just like that.

"A Middle Spiritual Land?!"

Hearing this, Han Yuan’s eyes widened.

Cultivating in a Lower-class Spiritual Land already made his Cultivation speed skyrocket.

If he could enter a Middle Spiritual Land to cultivate arduously for a while, he might even be able to charge directly into the Innate Realm!

"Mm, there should be no mistake."

Chunyangzi nodded.

"If it really is a Middle Spiritual Land, then I’m afraid I have no choice but to go."

Han Yuan’s eyes grew determined.

He didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

"A young man should indeed go."

"Since you’ve encountered a fortuitous opportunity, you must fight for it!"

"If you don’t fight for it, the opportunity will always belong to someone else."

Chunyangzi strongly approved of Han Yuan’s decision.

In his experience, all opportunities were won through one’s own struggles.

He had never encountered an opportunity that simply fell from the sky.

"Then I’ll go too!"

Ding Zihu didn’t want to pass up this chance either.

"Unfortunately, I have to watch over the Alchemy Furnace on Hive Mountain."

"Otherwise, I could have gone with you."

Chunyangzi said with a smile.

"We’ve troubled you, Daoist Master."

Han Yuan said, cupping his fist.

Chunyangzi’s dedication was truly moving.

"Alright... you two can set out tomorrow."

"Judging from the current celestial phenomenon, the Spiritual Land won’t emerge so quickly."

Chunyangzi said.

Han Yuan naturally trusted Chunyangzi’s judgment.

He and Ding Zihu returned to their respective wooden huts to rest.

「The next day.」

He was packing his belongings when he heard a commotion outside.

’What’s going on?’

Han Yuan wondered, pushing open the wooden door.

He saw Liao Tu approaching with several tribesmen, escorting a lean man.

Ding Zihu and Chunyangzi were watching the spectacle from the side.

"Greetings, Hero Han!"

Liao Tu said with a cupped fist when he saw Han Yuan come out.

"Liao Tu, who is this?"

Han Yuan asked.

He knew they wouldn’t have brought someone over for no reason.

Something must have happened.

"Hero Han, this man entered the mountains posing as a caravan and asked us about your whereabouts."

"I suspected he had malicious intentions, so I captured him."

Liao Tu said, cupping his fist.
