In the cave, Yu Chen hugged the wild boar meat and ate it in big mouthfuls, with a look of enjoyment on his face. Unexpectedly, You Yue actually had such good craftsmanship, he had eaten countless mountain delicacies and seafood, but none were as delicious as this wild boar meat!

  He poked at the toothpick, and Fatty was intoxicated with the delicious food. Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the nine heavens, and the birds outside the cave "fluttered" away in an instant.

  Yu Chenhus body shook, a mouthful of wild boar meat stuck in his throat, and his round face turned bright red. He threw down the food in his hand and clenched his fist to heavily pound his own chest.

  "Cough! Cough cough!"

  Yu Chens eyes flowed with tears, her white eyes rolled back, and she coughed for a long time before finally swallowing the wild boar meat that had been killed that day.

  What a close call! He almost died young because of a piece of wild boar meat!

  Wiping away a bitter tear, Yu Chen stood up and walked out of the cave, intending to investigate. Suddenly, her small eyes widened as she gazed into the distance.

  Not far away, a black fog was moving swiftly towards this side. A vast expanse of dark clouds filled the sky with an aura of resentment. Yu Chen even saw a pair of crimson eyes in the black fog, staring at him with a gloomy gaze.

  Misty grass! What is that?!

  Thunderbolt? Spirit beast? Ghost? Soul?

  He swallowed hard and was about to make a run for it when he caught sight of the dark fog, his footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

  She turned her neck slightly and looked at that resentful aura, her mouth slowly opening wide in shock.

  "Ghost, ghostly moon?! How is it you?!" His voice was shrill, his face shocked.

  Feng Youyue strode forward with large steps, her anger soaring to the heavens as she approached. Her jade-like face was shrouded in dark clouds, and sparks seemed to fly from her eyes. With a gaze that seemed to burn everything in its path, she exuded an aura of dominance.

  She walked up to Yu Chen and gave him a faint glance.

  "Whats wrong?" Yu Chen frowned and asked, "Didnt you go take a bath? How..."

  Its better not to mention it, but as soon as the bath is mentioned, Feng Youyues temples throb violently, her lips curl up, and a sly smile appears.

  "I dont know which bastard stole my clothes!" she squeezed out from between her teeth.

  "Has my clothes been stolen?!" Yu Chen shrieked again, the fat on her body trembling slightly as she carefully glanced at Feng Youyues brand new red dress. It was obvious that this was what she had stored in her storage ring for backup.

  Looking at Feng You Yues face, which was shrouded in dark clouds, Yu Chens heart skipped a beat. Since Feng You Yue became smart, she had been the epitome of being tough and reserved in his eyes. Whoever provoked her would definitely get their comeuppance. Feng You Luo was like this, even the spoiled child of the Feng family, Feng You Xue, couldnt get any special treatment from her.

  And now, someone has actually stolen her clothes in broad daylight! If she hadnt had a spare set, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

  Yu Chen shuddered, Ah Niang, which heroic road has eaten the leopards gallbladder? Its really... admirable!

  "What about him? Did you catch him?" he asked again.

  Feng Youyues face sank even further, and she gritted her teeth fiercely. "Escaped! I didnt even see a shadow!"

  Damn it! Wait for her! If she finds out who it is, shell chop him up and feed him to the big yellow dog!

  The big yellow dog in the backyard of Feng Fu: "......"

  "Cough, that might be a flower thief? Youmo dont get angry, come on, eat some pork, well continue on our journey."

  Feng Youyues face slightly cleared, and she nodded, following Yu Chen as he turned around and walked into the mountain cave. The two of them tidied up a bit and headed deeper into the Blood Punishment Forest.

  ……

  Time passed quickly, the sun rose slowly from the east and soon reached its peak. The scorching sunlight poured down, baking the earth to a boil. Fortunately, Feng Youyue and Yu Chen were both cultivators, so their bodies didnt feel uncomfortable.

  Along the way, the two didnt encounter too much danger, but instead encountered many mysterious and ferocious beasts, all of which were cleanly and efficiently dealt with by them.

  Feng Youyue was unscathed thanks to her rich combat experience. On the other hand, Yu Chen and Xiao Bai were slightly injured.

  "Eat this." Feng Youyue took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage ring and tossed it to Yu Chen.

  Yu Chen caught it, leaned against the big tree and sat down, opening the porcelain bottle. Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance wafted up to his nose. He raised an eyebrow, poured out the contents of the porcelain bottle, and surprisingly, it was a bright yellow dan medicine.

  "Youxue, this is..." The Yu family had many excellent elixirs, but he had never seen this one before.

  "I cultivated it myself, for healing injuries." Feng Youyue said nonchalantly as she sat down with a plop.

  Yu Chens eyes widened in shock, staring at Feng Youyue as if she had seen a ghost. Her voice trembled, "Did you practice it yourself? Did... did you refine it?!"

  Feng Youyue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised at Yu Chens reaction, but still replied truthfully, "Just messing around, got a problem with that?"

  Do you have a problem?

  Not just problems! But big ones too!

  Yu Chen dragged his chubby body over to Feng Youyues side and whispered, "Do you know that in the Wanlan Kingdom, or even on the Jiuyou Continent, alchemists are the most supreme existence?"

  Feng Youyue was shocked, she knew that alchemists were in high demand, but she didnt expect it to be... supreme.

  "What did you say?"

  "An alchemist is not something that just anyone can become. Not only must one have a strong spiritual sense and cultivation, but they must also have the innate talent to be an alchemist." Yu Chen said slowly, "Youmo, I know you have the Chaotic Flame. But in this world, there are many people with strange flames. Among 100 people with fire attributes, its already quite good if one of them can become an alchemist. The other day, you beat up Clock Gonggong who was beside the Third Prince, do you know why the Emperor didnt come to bother you? One reason is because your grandfather is a Dual-Attribute Great Master, and another reason is that the Second Elder of the Feng family is an alchemist!"

  "You know, in the entire imperial palace, there are only two second-level alchemists! The number of alchemists in Wanlan Country can be counted on ten fingers. And theyre all below third level!" Yu Chen waved his chubby fingers and said mysteriously.

  Feng Youyue was truly astonished this time, she didnt expect that the alchemist would have such a lofty and supreme status. Its really true that rarity is precious!

  Suddenly, Yu Chen seemed to have thought of something, and his face changed color.

  "Young Moon, who else knows about your alchemy?"

  Feng Youyues eyes widened slightly, and then she immediately understood Yu Chens concern. She patted his shoulder and smiled lightly, "Dont worry, only you know about it. I just learned how to refine the elixir too, and I havent planned on telling anyone else yet."

  "Thats good, thats good!" Yu Chen let out a sigh of relief. Feng Youyue being an alchemist was a good thing for the Feng family, but it was bad news for the other three major families. If she had already reached her full potential and her strength was something to be feared by everyone, then her identity as an alchemist could be made public. However, a small, sixth-rank alchemist would definitely suffer endless pursuit and killing from other forces.

  Yu Chens expression was etched in Feng Youyues eyes, remembered in his heart, and moved beyond measure. She nudged him with her elbow, "Dont worry, before I become a Xuan Shi, I wont say anything. Hurry up and take the medicine, it will be good for your injuries."

  Yu Chen nodded and swallowed the elixir, starting to sit cross-legged in meditation.

  Feng Youyue sat to the side, propping up her chin and sinking into deep thought. The "Dan God Scroll" in the chaotic space recorded countless precious alchemy formulas. However, due to her insufficient strength, she could currently only browse the formulas for first-grade elixirs. She had attempted to refine them before, but after failing multiple times, her technique became increasingly skilled. Nevertheless, relying on her current cultivation and spiritual awareness, wanting to refine higher-grade elixirs was still far from enough.

  It seems that "Dan Shen Juan" also took into account her insufficient strength to protect herself, which is why she was not allowed to browse high-level Dan medicine.

  Feng Youyue shook her head, forget it, whats the point of thinking so much? Getting stronger is the only way to go!

  Yu Chen caught his breath quickly, and after that, the two of them continued walking deeper into the forest...

  Towering trees stood upright, with weeds growing wildly, and dappled light spots sprinkled on the ground, but still couldnt cover up the bloody atmosphere of the Blood Punishment Forest. Along the way, there were corpses of mysterious beasts or humans everywhere. Some had just rotted, while others had become white bones.

  As the corpses appeared more frequently, Feng Youyue knew that they had entered a dangerous area.

  "Fatty, cheer up, we..."

  "Ahhh!" A thunderous howl cut off Feng Youyues words.

  "Aaaaooo——! Aaaaooo——!" The death-filled roar echoed through the Blood Punishment Forest, causing the ground to tremble faintly.

  Yu Chens face suddenly turned white, and even his lips lost their color. "You Yue! This is... Lei Yue Xuan Lang!"
