The Heavenly Dao System-Chapter 78: Beast Pill

When Ye Ming expressed his intent, Tao Wang was rather speechless.

"The Fushang Territory is a bit far away," Tao Wang said softly, seemingly emphasizing that there would be danger.

However, she quickly paused herself when she noticed Ye Ming was rather nonchalant about it.

In fact, now that she had paid a closer look, she noticed Ye Ming didn’t even have any weapons equipped on him.

Although spatial rings exist, most cultivators tend to have their weapons by their side. After all, drawing their weapon in their side versus spatial ring was self-explanatory. The former was way quicker than the latter, which required more extra steps.

And in critical situations, any time wasted was a higher chance of losing one’s life.

"Enough nonsense and just guide me the way." Ye Ming coldly remarked. She had too much nonsense in her mouth.

Like did she not just witness how he commanded the Red Demon Tiger away?

Were there any monsters stronger than the Red Demon Tiger?

Seeing that her savior was quite discontent, Tao Wang nodded her head and began to take the lead. Along the way, she began to explain the situation.

"The Fushang Territory is controlled by the two major factions, the Tianwu Faction and Heaven Pardon Faction. Because the disappearance of spiritual qi emerged again and too many lives have been lost, it was decided that the Fushang Territory would become the central plain."

As she continued to explain, Ye Ming was starting to lose interest. Most of her information was something he had learned from Qing Lan already.

"Is there any exciting news?" Ye Ming cut her off and inquired.

Startled, Tao Wang was at a loss momentarily. What qualified as exciting news to him?

Although he had saved her, Tao Wang didn’t know anything about him, much less his name.

"Uhh—" She was about to ask what was considered exciting news when Ye Ming began to list out a few details.

"Exciting news such as seeking experts, valuable items appearance, or things that caught the attention of two major factions."

Upon hearing the term seeking experts, Tao Wang quickly recalled one thing.

"Ah yes, it’s been said that the Tianwu Faction is actively searching for a young man who could cure their princess. The rewards were abundant and many young men had tried, only to end up failing. Despite this, the Tianwu Faction never gave up and even quadrupled the reward for the young man." She explained, finding the situation rather peculiar.

All they sought was a young man with no other details.

Any young man would test their luck since it was a chance to meet the princess even if it meant being kicked out afterward.

Moreover, the resentment and hostility toward the princess had gradually lessened now that the Heavenly Dao seemed to have returned to normal.

There wasn’t a large intention of purging the said princess, especially when the Soul Transformation Realm cultivators declared that no innocent shall be slaughtered for the said cause anymore.

Just at this moment, Tao Wang realized her savior also happened to be a young man. Although age could be deceiving, she could tell from Ye Ming’s demeanor that his age didn’t seem to be that of an old man or an elder.

’Could he be the young man?’ Almost as soon as she had such a thought, Tao Wang shook her head. There were many times that she had thought one of them was it, but was proven wrong.

Time went by, and when they were near the borderline of the Fushang Forest, Tao Wang’s footsteps halted. Her facial complexion turned ugly as she spotted a familiar being.

"Red Demon Tiger." She swallowed a mouthful of saliva nervously.

She inspected it closer, and she could see a cloth fabric that was stuck in between its teeth. The cloth fabric was small, but she knew who it belonged to: Rong Bai.

As expected, the cries of agony from previously was Rong Bai, who had already become a meal for the Red Demon Tiger.

She didn’t feel pity or sad over the incident, only worried about the Red Demon Tiger’s presence.

At this moment, the Red Demon Tiger’s eyes landed on Ye Ming. It growled in a rhythmic manner, almost as if it was trying to communicate something.

Most people wouldn’t even understand the language, but Ye Ming understood it very well. Granted that he was lectured thoroughly by his Mother regarding Alchemy, one such subject was learning beast’s languages.

According to his Mother’s explanation, alchemists often sought rare herbs and materials. Therefore, they should know the beast’s languages to communicate with beasts who guarded such rare herbs and see if they could exchange items.

"If that person escaped, then so be it." Ye Ming calmly responded. He knew that the Fushang Forest was intended to be dangerous and orchestrated by the Soul Transformation Realm to ensure only qualified or lucky cultivators to access the Fushang Territory.

In other words, the Red Demon Tiger wouldn’t need to worry about being slayed by the higher realm cultivators as long as it remained in the Fushang Forest. Therefore, it didn’t dare to step outside to give chase.

The Red Demon Tiger also realized it had failed Ye Ming’s previous command and was waiting in the spot to beg for forgiveness. After all, its instinct was still screaming at them to be obedient and submissive.

This was further reinforced when it could actually communicate with Ye Ming—something that had taken it by surprise.

"Alright, stop being stationed here and go do whatever you want." Ye Ming snorted, but still retrieved a pill and threw it toward the Red Demon Tiger.

The pill was concocted by him out of fun, and it was only usable for beasts. He couldn’t feed it to the beast at his home because they had long surpassed the need for such.

And he didn’t want to keep storing it as the pill reminded him of being criticized by his Mother for failing the concoction.

Yes, the pill was initially intended for human consumption but because he got distracted while thinking about some food, the process went awry and turned into a beast pill.

’How could Mother scold me for thinking about eating some good food? Food is way better than just absorbing qi.’ He thought to himself.

Amidst his thought process, the Red Demon Tiger’s eyes beamed in delight as it could sense the pill was overwhelmingly powerful. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

As for Tao Wang, her eyes widened in complete shock as she could detect that the pill was of high quality. Just the pill aura had nearly caused her body to tremble.

Meanwhile, the Red Demon Tiger quickly growled in a manner that seemed to be thanking Ye Ming for such generosity.

"Stop growling and just leave. It can be considered a repayment because I stopped you from devouring this little lass." Ye Ming waved his hand and said dismissively.

Upon being called a little lass, Tao Wang didn’t know how to react or feel about it.

Nevertheless, the Red Demon Tiger didn’t even bat an eyelid at Tao Wang any longer. Compared to the pill it had just received, Tao Wang now looked no different than trash in its eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it still knelt its head down toward Ye Ming before dashing off to a far distance. Soon, its silhouette couldn’t be seen any further.

"Snap out of your daze and move along." Ye Ming casually said when he noticed Tao Wang was struck in a dazed by the situation.

"Yes, right away." Tao Wang regained her senses as she nodded.

’There’s no way he’s a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator.’ Having witnessed the kind of pill and the Red Demon Tiger’s behavior toward him, Tao Wang would be damned to believe he was a lowly cultivator.

Moreover, no Qi Refinement Realm cultivator could remain unscathed and appear so clean within the Fushang Forest.

As she had suspected initially. ’This person cannot be offended.’

Sometime later, the two exited the forest. Simultaneously, there were also numerous cultivators emerging from other parts of the forest.

The Fushang Forest was a large region, so it wasn’t surprising to see others coming from elsewhere.

"Is that you, Junior Sister Tao Wang?" Amidst the numerous cultivators, someone suddenly called out to her.

Startled, Tao Wang looked alarmed as she traced the source. Her eyes quickly spotted someone and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Senior Sister Ling." She responded with a look of delight.

Ling Qiwei rushed over and her face frowned once she noticed Tao Wang’s complexion. Her eyes were very unfriendly as she darted to Ye Ming who was accompanying her.

Afraid of her senior sister offending him, Tao Wang hurriedly explained the situation.

As for Ye Ming, he was honestly too lazy to even bother with Ling Qiwei.

Meanwhile, Ling Qiwei’s aura expressed a large killing intent.

"Chu Dong." She muttered the name while her lips curled upward. "If he dared to retreat to the Fushang Territory, then he could forget about living any further."
