How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"My family uses high-grade medicinal herbs, while you're using inferior ones!"

"Come on, we got our medicinal herbs from the same place, okay?"

Hei Yang pondered, "It seems that this situation occurred after practicing the Qi-forging method of spiritual herbs given by the Medicine King Sect. Is it because the medicinal power was not fully digested?"

"Then I don't understand."

Hong Li shrugged: "But I've wanted to complain about the name of your technique for a long time. What the hell is this 'Breath-Severing Technique'? It sounds really nice."

"I've already complained to my parents about this, you just don't know it."

Hei Yang sighed: "It's because..."

"Master, be careful!"

"Beast!"

Two exclamations interrupted Hei Yang's words. A gray raptor swooped down, its sharp beak gleaming with metallic luster, and its claws aimed at Hei Yang's neck!

Looking at the enormous bird of prey, nearly two meters tall, Hei Yang had no doubt that it could easily crush the rocks.

Then, a flash of sword light appeared, and blood splattered.

"Paji"

The enormous bird of prey, now lifeless, crashed to the ground, its momentum leaving a furrow in its wake and raising a cloud of dust, which caused the sturdy horse to let out a long, startled neigh.

"Red Glass has a bad word to say, something's not right."

Hei Yang sheathed his sword, his expression grave as he gazed at the narrow roadside, where pairs of crimson eyes emerged from the darkness…

Chapter 53 Black Sun on the Tip of the Tongue

The frightened horse was quickly calmed down by Zhang San and Li Si, but it refused to move forward and just paced back and forth, looking very anxious.

The two men exchanged a glance, nodded, and flanked Hei Yang on either side: "Young Master, something seems amiss."

Along with the neighing of the horse, the chirping of insects and birds in the forest also disappeared, and an eerie silence enveloped the mountains and forests, sending chills down one's spine.

"Although this bird is fierce, it doesn't usually attack humans unprovoked..."

Hei Yang glanced at the giant bird's corpse on the ground, frowned, and looked ahead. He could sense much more than Zhang San and Li Si.

For example, the two of them only sensed something was wrong based on their years of experience, but he clearly sensed a series of malicious auras ahead.

The endless road led into the dark forest, as if to send them into the jaws of a monstrous beast that would devour them.

As time went on, Hei Yang noticed that the menacing auras gathering around him were increasing, and even behind him, beast shadows were appearing.

They were surrounded by birds and beasts in the mountains and forests!

Moreover, they are pressing closer and closer!

Soon, even Zhang San and Li Si spotted the attackers: wolves, jackals, tigers, leopards, eagles, falcons, wild boars, black bears...

Various ferocious birds and beasts, their eyes bloodshot and drooling, surrounded the three.

"Damn it, how did these beasts suddenly gather together!"

The two guards looked grim as the beasts that had come up into the way. They had traveled this road several times before, but had never encountered such an absurd crisis.

Well, according to the method of controlling variables, nothing happened when the two guards walked this road, but when the two guards and Black Sun came together, something happened.

With that in mind, it's obvious who the culprit is!

"So, is this all aimed at me?"

Hei Yang's expression was subtle. Why did he seem to have the constitution of a protagonist in a novel, causing problems wherever he went?

Wait, is it possible that he is the protagonist?

No, absolutely not. If any novel had a lazy dog ​​like him as the protagonist, it would be a disaster!

"Many of these guys are almost as strong as that tiger from back then..."

Hei Yang muttered, "They're all monsters on the verge of becoming spirits!"

Compared to before, if Hei Yang, who is now at the Qi Refining stage, were to encounter that tiger again, he would definitely not be as pathetic as before, but would be able to easily kill it.

This is why the surrounding wild beasts did not rush to kill them, because their keen senses told them that these three people, especially the youngest one, were not to be trifled with!

However, they did not want to let Hei Yang and his two companions go, which led to the current standoff. Perhaps the other side could easily kill any one of them, but their numbers could make up for it.

Clearly, Hei Yang must come up with a way to break this deadlock as soon as possible, otherwise, once these beasts swarm him, six fists will be no match for a hundred claws, and he will be dragged out tomorrow.

The way to break the deadlock, to break the deadlock...

Suddenly, Hei Yang's eyes lit up. He remembered that he hadn't claimed the gift box for advancing to the second level yet. With a thought, he claimed it and the information appeared in his mind.

Talent: Alchemy Master

Quality: purple

Effect: You possess superb alchemy skills and have a thorough understanding and control over medicinal herbs. As an alchemy master, you will be respected by any powerful force.

Introduction: Mastering a skill ensures you'll never go hungry, knowledge changes destiny, and learning brings me joy!

Purple quality!

Hei Yang was startled; this was the first time he had ever encountered something of this quality. In an instant, a wealth of knowledge flooded his mind.

Herbal knowledge, heat control, drug interactions, basic medicinal formulas...

A large amount of knowledge suddenly flooded his mind, but he didn't feel any headache. It was as if he had always been a master alchemist and had just suddenly remembered it.

In an instant, many questions that I couldn't understand before were easily answered, and even the path ahead in cultivation seemed to become clearer.

Just like the Qi-forging method with spiritual herbs sent by the Medicine King Sect, Hei Yang had only vaguely understood it before, but now he suddenly saw through its principles.

At the same time, he also realized why he was being besieged—this was a sign that the Spirit Medicine Qi Forging Technique had been perfected. The medicinal properties previously stored in his body were being slowly absorbed, thereby strengthening himself. During this process, he would emit a medicinal fragrance.

Once the medicinal fragrance dissipates, this Qi-forging technique will be considered complete!

But in the eyes of those wild beasts in the mountains and forests, Heiyang was like a walking treasure of nature.

Hei Yang's current situation is like an ancient ginseng running to a pharmacy, or a meat bun wandering into a doghouse; eating it will level him up!

As expected of a purple-quality talent, it instantly gave Hei Yang so many insights!

The only drawback is that it does not help the current situation at all.

If I have to say it...

Well, it can make Black Sun die more clearly, so he doesn't die without even knowing why he was eaten.

When he finally arrived at the underworld, Yama asked him: "Why did you die?"

Hei Yang replied: I was eaten by a wild beast.

The King of Hell asked again: Why did that wild beast eat you?

Hei Yang replied: Uh, I don't know, I just wanted to eat it... so I ate it?

Such an answer would make him seem uncultured and easily looked down upon by those in the underworld, causing him to lose face even in death.

But now, with the powerful talent of a master alchemist, he can say: "Ah, because my body was carefully prepared using eighty-three kinds of high-grade herbs, including fig, red snake grass, nine-jointed orchid, and white cloud flower..."

Therefore, my meat has a fragrant aroma and a crisp, delicious taste. Eating it can not only help with bowel movements and prolong life, but also enhance male virility and nourish the kidneys, blah blah blah...

See? Doesn't it instantly elevate the overall style?

His words immediately shocked the entire Yama Palace.

At that time, we'll make Yama wipe his mouth, the judge drool, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face rush forward.

With eight sedan chair bearers carrying the coffin, accompanied by gongs and drums, they threw Hei Yang into the boiling oil hell.

With Meng Po at the helm and Hei Yang as the main ingredient, let's create a breathtaking culinary feast, named "The Palace of the Underworld on the Tip of the Tongue"...

Purple talent, truly terrifying!

Yeah, right! Damn! Purple talent is completely useless!

Where did his good luck go? Could it be that he was infected by Hong Li's bad luck aura?

"call……"

He took a deep breath, gripped his sword, and looked ahead with a calm expression.

The surrounding area was filled with moisture, which dampened the fur of the beasts.

"Zhang San, Li Si, step back behind me. This is no longer a situation you can handle."

Almost at the same time that Hei Yang finished speaking, more than a dozen jackals, as if they had planned it, pounced on the three of them at the same time!

"Crash!"

The sword light flashed like water, and dozens of jackals were simultaneously cut in two, falling helplessly to the ground.

The stench of blood exploded through the forest, igniting the ferocity of the beasts and shattering the forest's silence!

Roar, howl, roar, wail...

The sounds of the beasts pouncing on their prey were mixed together, and although they were not in unison, they still created a great deal of pressure.
