When he cautiously approached and discovered Lu Wenwu still had a heartbeat and was breathing...

He was so scared that he directly sat down on the ground, almost bursting into tears.

Later, it’s not clear what the small farmer was thinking, but he huffed and puffed as he carried Lu Wenwu back to the small wooden house in the field, seemingly trying to bring him back to life.

The small farmer just used clean water to wipe him up slightly, and the Life Crystal along with Lu Wenwu’s powerful recovery abilities started taking effect.

His entire being visibly continued to heal at an incredible speed, replacing a large amount of damaged body tissues.

Thus, the small farmer felt relieved.

Every time he looked at Lu Wenwu, he always had a hesitant expression on his face.

Mao Mao didn’t have the Eye of True Sight and didn’t know what the other party was thinking.

But it knew, with the small farmer’s capabilities slightly above ordinary people, there was absolutely no possibility of harming Lu Wenwu.

At that, Mao Mao took the opportunity to return to the Spirit Heaven Cave Heaven to recuperate the body’s deficit.

Lu Wenwu, with a single disagreement, blasted with an Ascension God Powerhouse, severely injured himself, and Mao Mao was not completely unharmed, requiring some recuperation.

Now, both master and pet have regained their full strength, peak state!

Three days to recover completely from the severe injuries of a fully damaged body!

This terrifying recovery speed would likely frighten ordinary players to death.

This can be considered a perk of the Body Refining path, with quick recovery.

Approaching noon, Lu Wenwu was alone in the house.

According to Mao Mao’s description, this time was when the small farmer went out to work.

The other party lived a routine and simple life during these three days.

Wake up early to work until dusk.

After dinner, he practiced a basic martial art outside and meditated for a while when back inside, before sleeping for about three or four hours.

As Lu Wenwu pondered how to approach this mission, there was a sudden "clang" at the door.

He looked up to see a dark-skinned boy in rough short clothing standing at the door.

The boy’s body couldn’t be considered thin but wasn’t particularly strong either, his sinewy muscles solidified from years of farm work and martial arts, proving to be strong.

According to Lu Wenwu’s estimation, with that bit of basic Heaven and Earth Primordial Power and physical quality, this boy should have no problem taking down an adult man.

However, the boy’s panic-stricken eyes didn’t match his "strength."

[Liu Erniu (D-)]: 456/480

[Cultivation]: Qi Refining First Layer

[Current Status]: Panic, Mild Injury, Spiritual Power Depleted

[Analysis]: Mixed Spirit Root of Earth, Wood, Fire, and Metal attributes, Agricultural Apprentice of Wood and Earth Temple, Body damaged from excessive cultivation, Spiritual Qi depleted due to labor, feeling fear and anxiety towards your existence

Wood and Earth Temple?

This should be a Cultivation Sect, right?

It doesn’t sound very powerful.

Qi Refining First Layer...

Weak D- level, even unable to defeat slightly strong ordinary people.

Lu Wenwu internally concluded his assessment.

This is genuinely the weakest Transcendent he has encountered since embarking on the cultivation path.

But no matter, Brother Wu is here, and purity follows.

Lu Wenwu adjusted his sitting posture on the bed, putting his legs down and meeting Liu Erniu’s gaze.

The worryingly fragile wooden bed immediately creaked, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"You saved me? How should I address you?" Lu Wenwu displayed his signature cheerful smile.

Liu Erniu instinctively took a step back, bending his body without daring to lift his head, and whispered:

"Wood and Earth Temple...ag...agricultural apprentice Liu Erniu, me...met you, Senior. I...I don’t have the ability to heal you, just...just brought you back..."

"That doesn’t matter, let’s say you saved me. Kind-hearted people are rare these days." Lu Wenwu chuckled, "Thank you, Liu Erniu."

Better if left unsaid.

At the mention of "thank," Liu Erniu reacted as if a frightened bird, panicking and waving his hands.

"No...no no...Junior doesn’t deserve...doesn’t deserve Senior’s gratitude..."

Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows, laughing: "You’re doing quite poorly, kid. You’re a teenage lad, how are you more timid than a sheltered maiden?"

Upon being "rebuked" like this, Liu Erniu was startled into standing upright on the spot.

"Senior, I..."

"Have you eaten?"

"???"

Liu Erniu’s eyes showed evident confusion.

Lu Wenwu’s topic changed too fast, his muddled mind hadn’t caught up.

"...Have...haven’t eaten." He answered instinctively.

"Great, I haven’t eaten either, let’s eat together." Lu Wenwu chuckled, taking out his usual Big Black Furnace, "Mao Mao, ignite! Let’s roast a lamb today."

"Woof!"

Mao Mao suddenly leapt out of the Cave Heaven, responding excitedly as it carried the furnace with Spiritual Power and directly flew out the window.

Liu Erniu was scared into a jitter by the large black and golden dog.

But before he began to be frightened, he was plunged into a state of strong shock.

The Spirit Heaven Cave Heaven briefly opened and closed, the Spiritual Qi escaping from it was really too dense.

It was like a bucket of water pouring down, instantly causing Liu Erniu, who had been in a low-spirit environment for a long time, to react.

He instinctively operated the Cultivation Technique, breaking through the bottleneck previously unmovable for three years, directly advancing to Qi Refining Second Layer!

"I...I broke through just like that?"

When Liu Erniu came to, it felt like he was living in a dream, or he might have been dazed by the sun while working.

The rich Spiritual Qi that emerged at that moment, not even the sect’s core area had it!

It was like living in a house built of Spirit Stones!

This Senior is simply...simply...

Liu Erniu, lacking education, racked his brains, trying to recall anything from the teachings of the sect’s Transmission Brother, yet couldn’t think of a single word to describe him.

Ultimately he could only think bluntly: This Senior must be more powerful than the Observatory Master?

"Finished your breakthrough? Finish and come to eat."

Lu Wenwu’s voice promptly awakened the pondering Liu Erniu.

For a Junior Cultivator who just started on the Qi Refining path, it took him some time from operating the Cultivation Technique to breaking through.

Lu Wenwu and Mao Mao had already finished cooking the roasted lamb, serving it along with some egg-filled pancakes.

Delicious!

What’s so delicious!

Liu Erniu instinctively looked at the golden crispy egg-filled pancakes on the table, along with the aromatic lamb sliced into strips, drooling uncontrollably.

The flavor unleashed from the spices burned over the Fire of Huodou was unparalleled, far surpassing the products of this era.

Even True Immortals would be tempted by Lu Wenwu’s egg-filled pancakes surpassing All-Encompassing God Level, let alone Liu Erniu, this foolish boy?

He didn’t know how he accepted the roasted lamb and egg-filled pancakes.

He only knew, this taste was simply too fragrant.

There’s no stopping!

When Liu Erniu finally disentangled from that extremely delightful state, he found himself clenching a gnawed clean bone, lying on the ground completely tired.

His belly was so full he had difficulty breathing!

He struggled, laboriously crawling to his feet.

Instinctively operated Spiritual Power to aid digestion.

Liu Erniu just urged Cyan Wood Skill, but the drastically different Spiritual Power shocked him into falling back to the ground.

His own Spiritual Power, why is there so much!

Why so strong!

It increased three or four times, at least!

Ignoring the pressed stomach that felt slightly nauseous, Liu Erniu supported himself on a nearby table from Charles’ unknown origins, barely standing, looking at Lu Wenwu as if gazing at an Immortal.

He just ate a meal, and he’s already Qi Refining Fourth Layer???

I’m already at a mid-stage, can begin Body Refining???

It couldn’t be even an hour has passed!

What exactly did this Senior give me to eat!
