A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

The most secluded forest is located behind a barren mountain in the northern part of Jiangcheng.

Because of its lush trees and the surrounding mountains that block out sunlight year-round, it appears eerie and terrifying, hence the name Zhiyou Great Forest.

We walked through the weeds and climbed over the barren mountains.

Chen Yue looked at the secluded forest before him, where only a few rays of sunlight fell from above, illuminating the forest so that the path was not obscured.

The place was eerie, with the occasional roar of wild beasts sending chills down one's spine.

Chen Yue shuddered as his body was enveloped in dark red source energy, forming a protective shield.

With this assurance, Chen Yue dared to step into the forest.

In the Zhiyou Great Forest, most of the spirit beasts are first or second tier, and it is very difficult to see spirit beasts of third tier or higher.

With Chen Yue's cultivation level at the Condensation Realm, he should be perfectly safe in the forest, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

But I'm afraid something might happen, so it's best to be careful.

Chen Yue searched for the Jade Green Grass in the forest.

Along the way, many first-tier spirit beasts flashed past Chen Yue's eyes.

The aura of the Condensation Realm emanating from Chen Yue terrified the little spirit beast, causing it to flee in panic.

After searching the forest for a long time, I couldn't find a single third-tier spirit beast, let alone any news about Jade Green Grass.

Just as Chen Yue was feeling disappointed, a deafening roar came from afar, catching his attention.

The ability to generate such a loud noise is something that only first- or second-tier spirit beasts could accomplish.

With a skeptical attitude, Chen Yue walked towards the source of the sound.

Soon, Chen Yue arrived at an open space.

One after another, huge craters appeared at the scene, trees were scattered everywhere, and dozens of wild animals caught in the blast died instantly, their blood staining the ground.

A gigantic spirit beast with wings on its back, a tiger's head, and a snake's tail attacked the sword-wielding youth in a blue robe with a frenzy.

The two fought fiercely, and even though they were covered in wounds, they showed no sign of stopping.

"A third-tier spirit beast, the Crimson-Winged Python-Tier Tiger. After searching for a long time, we finally found a third-tier spirit beast."

Chen Yue was both happy and worried. The strength displayed by this Crimson-Winged Python Tiger was far beyond that of an ordinary third-tier spirit beast.

Its aura is almost at the fourth level; it should only need a trigger to advance smoothly.

The sword-wielding youth fighting the Crimson-Winged Python Tiger was clearly not strong enough.

His movements slowed down, and his source energy grew weaker and weaker, not far from being completely exhausted.

Each attack was extremely difficult to deal with.

In contrast, the Crimson-Winged Python Tiger grew stronger with each battle, its aura constantly rising, as if it had no fatigue.

Chen Yue first observed the surrounding environment. According to the information he had gathered, the Jade Green Grass in the Zhiyou Great Forest was being guarded by a third-tier spirit beast.

If nothing unexpected happens, that third-tier spirit beast is the Crimson-Winged Python-Tiger.

Looking around, all that could be seen were the corpses of unfortunate spirit beasts and broken grass and trees scattered on the ground.

The cave not far away was very suspicious, its entrance covered by a lot of weeds and leaves.

Although they were well hidden, Chen Yue still managed to discover them.

This deliberate concealment attracted Chen Yue's close attention.

His intuition told him that this was the habitat of the red-winged python.

Conceal your presence and quietly leave the battlefield.

Chen Yue arrived at the cave entrance and confirmed that the Crimson-Winged Python Tiger was not paying attention to him.

Relieved, I cautiously slipped into the cave.

It was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen. The only way to make out the path forward was by the dark red light emanating from the body.

Chen Yue remained vigilant at all times, advancing slowly and heavily.

A moment later, a faint light appeared intermittently.

Chen Yue took a closer look and saw that it was a seemingly ordinary green grass.

If it weren't for the faint emerald green light shimmering on it and the faint medicinal fragrance emanating from it...

Chen Yue found it difficult to connect it with the Jade Green Grass, the main ingredient of the Clear Vein Pill.

"Yes, that's it!"

Chen Yue recalled the description of the Jade Green Grass in the book, which was exactly the same as the small green grass in front of him.

Pull it up by the roots and put it in a storage bag.

Before Chen Yue could even feel happy, a figure flew over and crashed heavily into the rock wall next to him.

The weeds and trees at the entrance of the cave were dragged several meters away.

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Chen Yue felt a sense of foreboding, thinking to himself, "Damn it, I can't escape now. How did the fight end up in my house?!"

"Red-winged Python Tiger, you don't cherish your little den, but I will cherish it for you!"

The sword-wielding youth was severely injured, with no part of his body intact, and blood was constantly flowing out, staining his blue robe blood red.

"Damn it, what bad luck! He ran into such a powerful Crimson Winged Python Tiger."

"It seems that I, the Holy Son, am going to fail here today!"

The sword-wielding youth had piercing eyes and adopted a look of fearlessness in the face of death.

A figure flashed through his mind, instantly igniting his will to survive.

"No! I can't die, I have to live!"

"This holy son hasn't even had a proper, passionate hand-holding with his senior sister yet, how can he just die here so hastily!"

"Little big cat! Just wait until I, the Holy Son, take the Holy Sword and plunge it deep into your big eyes!"

After making those harsh remarks, the boy felt much better.

However, his physical condition was not good enough to support him to continue fighting.

In the dim light, the boy seemed to catch a glimpse of a red light beside him.

Turning around, he found Chen Yue staring at him with an embarrassed expression.

"Holy crap!" The boy was startled and jumped at least two meters high.

"Holy crap, flying, fragrant legs, where did this living person come from?!"

The boy was still in shock, his heart pounding.

I'd rather get slapped by a Crimson-Winged Python Tiger than this!

In this pitch black, you can't even see how many fingers you have when you stretch out your hand.

Turning your head, you see a human face staring straight at you. Wouldn't you be startled and scared?

"Are you... a human... or a ghost?" The boy's voice trembled with fear.

Chen Yue made a ferocious expression and said in a low voice, "I am... a ghost!!"

"Ah!!" the boy shouted, stood up, and ran out of the cave.

Seeing this, Chen Yue grabbed him and said, "You're so badly injured, why don't you rest and recuperate? Do you want to die too soon?"

"Fellow Daoist, please release this Holy Son! This Holy Son is merely a handsome and dashing man, loved by all and admired by all."

"A peerless genius with unparalleled talent and a sword-wielding body, capable of defeating any ordinary person in the world!"

"Fellow Daoist, please don't try to possess me!"

The boy was terrified and quickly listed a bunch of his shortcomings.

He immediately realized that Chen Yue had grabbed his right hand, and both the touch and the temperature felt incredibly real!

It's clearly a living, breathing person, not some damn ghost!

Chen Yue was stunned, wondering if the boy had something wrong with his head.

He said he was a ghost, and the other person actually believed him. He didn't question what a stranger said at all.

Chen Yue said speechlessly, "Fellow Daoist, don't be afraid. I am a living person, not a ghost, and I cannot possess you."

The young man snorted and said arrogantly, "Of course I know you're human. You think you can fool me with that little trick? What a joke!"

Chen Yue was stunned. Could there really be such a stupid person in the world? Surely it couldn't be Chen Yue who was completely fooled just now.

To say that this boy is clever is not necessarily true.

Calling him a fool is an understatement; he's a truly idiotic fool.
