"I'm not dead?"
Yue Ling'er slowly woke from unconsciousness, her first thought filled with confusion. Given what had happened, she should have been dead for sure.
But now she was conscious, which meant someone had saved her.
"Could my guards still be alive?" Yue Ling'er wondered instinctively.
But she immediately dismissed the thought.
Against a Top Ferocious Beast, her guards could not possibly have survived.
Opening her eyes, she found it somewhat dark around her but sensed someone beside her.
"You're awake!"
A slightly youthful voice came.
Though Yue Ling'er couldn't clearly see the person's face, she recognized the voice: "Ye Tian, was it you who saved me?"
She tried to stand but was too weak, managing only to sit up with effort.
"That's right. I happened to see you collapse and brought you to this small cave," Ye Tian said.
"Thank you for saving me!" Yue Ling'er expressed her gratitude.
"No problem, just a coincidence!" Ye Tian smiled slightly.
Actually, he had considered not saving Yue Ling'er—he could have taken her treasures and money. But that would have gone against his conscience.
Moreover, Yue Ling'er's nature was not bad. He saw that from her calm reaction after he refused to join Martial Pavilion.
If she had been someone like Mo Shaobei, he wouldn't have saved her and might have even made things worse for her.
Suddenly, a gentle light emanated from Yue Ling'er's hand. It was a stone, yet it shone like a lamp, illuminating the dark cave brightly.
"This is…"
Ye Tian was surprised.
He had carried Yue Ling'er here and never noticed the stone—if it had been there, he felt sure he would have sensed it.
"This is a Light Stone. It can store light and is very rare. Even in large bases, only a few people have one," Yue Ling'er explained without hiding anything.
She wasn't afraid Ye Tian would covet the Light Stone since it was rare but not valuable. If Ye Tian wanted it, she wouldn't mind giving him one.
Yue Ling'er placed the Light Stone on a nearby rock and then produced a bottle of healing liquid from her hand.
She drank it in one gulp and quietly waited for it to heal her wounds.
"That appeared suddenly!"
Ye Tian was certain Yue Ling'er had just produced that healing liquid. It couldn't have appeared out of thin air.
This meant Yue Ling'er must have some legendary storage equipment.
Also, her healing liquid was very high level, much more advanced than Ye Tian's Pure Source Liquid.
Ye Tian had given Yue Ling'er one bottle of his Pure Source Liquid while she was unconscious, but it only slightly alleviated her injuries, whereas Yue Ling'er's healing liquid visibly healed her skin wounds quickly.
Noticing Ye Tian's gaze, Yue Ling'er smiled: "You haven't seen a Storage Pouch before, have you? This item is made by refining the spatial pouch of a Space Kangaroo using a Space Talent Martial Artist. It can be used by Martial Artists."
"What is a Space Kangaroo?"
Ye Tian asked curiously.
From Yue Ling'er's explanation, Ye Tian learned that the Space Kangaroo was an Advanced Ferocious Beast—fast, powerful, intelligent, and difficult to hunt.
The pouch on its body had spatial attributes, able to store many items. It was called a spatial pouch. Once a Space Kangaroo was hunted, a Space Talent Martial Artist could refine the spatial pouch into a Storage Pouch.
Of course, not only spatial pouches could be refined into Storage Pouches; any item with spatial attributes could be. But the Space Kangaroo's pouch was the most practical and easiest to find.
"Learned something new!"
Ye Tian thought silently.
No wonder he hadn't known—he came from a small base like Seaside Base, while Yue Ling'er came from a large base and naturally had much more advanced knowledge.
For the next two days, Ye Tian stayed with Yue Ling'er. Since she hadn't fully recovered, he couldn't leave to search for the Lighthouse Jellyfish alone.
Though a little time was wasted, he gained a lot of knowledge from Yue Ling'er.
For example, the realm above Great Martial Artist.
In Seaside Base, Great Martial Artists were the strongest—only one or two openly, and a few more secretly. But in large bases, Great Martial Artists were only mid-tier. The realm above Great Martial Artist was called Grandmaster-level Martial Artist.
A Grandmaster-level Martial Artist could easily sweep through a group of Great Martial Artists and live much longer—about 200 years.
Ye Tian was stunned upon learning that Grandmaster-level experts could live 200 years.
So he added another goal—to reach Grandmaster-level.
Unfortunately, becoming a Grandmaster was extremely difficult. Even among High-grade Cultivation Talents, fewer than 10% could become Grandmasters. Only Top Cultivation Talents had a 100% chance.
"Ye Tian, I'm preparing to return to the large base," Yue Ling'er said when her injuries had mostly healed.
"Then be safe on your journey!" Ye Tian said.
Before leaving, Yue Ling'er tossed Ye Tian a package: "You should find this useful. It's for you."
Without waiting for Ye Tian's refusal, she left so fast he couldn't react.
Ye Tian could only smile helplessly.
Opening the package, he found a manual, ten bottles of Ferocious Beast blood, and ten gold cards!
"Wow—Intermediate-grade Yuan Force Body Tempering Method, ten bottles of High-grade Ferocious Beast Blood, and ten gold cards worth 10 million total! This gift is overwhelming!" Ye Tian was shocked.
Most valuable was the Intermediate-grade Yuan Force Body Tempering Method. He didn't know if the large bases had it, but ordinary Martial Artists couldn't obtain it, no matter how much money they had.
"With Intermediate-grade Yuan Force Body Tempering Method and ten bottles of High-grade Ferocious Beast Blood, I'm confident I can break into Elite Martial Artist within three months!"
Ye Tian was extremely confident.
He had planned to immediately go to Death Lake to find the Lighthouse Jellyfish but changed his mind. He would wait to reach Elite Martial Artist first, making the trip safer.
Actually, it wasn't a good time now anyway, since Yue Ling'er and her group had made a big stir at Death Lake. The Ferocious Beasts might be alert to outsiders. Going now would be suicidal.
Three months might be enough for Death Lake to calm down; that would be the best time to go.
So Ye Tian prepared to return to Seaside Base.
