From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 297 Practice
Jiang Yao walked a few steps to the bonfire and used a small wooden stick to search around and check for a long time.

He could only be sure that the bonfire must have existed for some time, and not just in the last one or two days.

"Who left this thing behind? A hunter? Or a herbalist?"

"Since there are traces of human activity near this pond, it means that there should be a human settlement near this forest."

"If I just want to practice martial arts, I can live alone in the mountains until I can master the Wild Dragon Fist. But if I want to know what medicinal herbs in this world can increase my lifespan, I must communicate with the people in this world!"

……

Jiang Yao frowned slightly and thought to himself.

Now, he only has nine years left to live.

After the martial arts realm is improved, his life span can be extended. This is just his guess. As for the natural treasures like the three-striped wild fruit, they can directly increase one's lifespan. This is a fact that he has already confirmed.

Compared with the two, the latter is definitely more reliable.

If possible, he would definitely want to go into places where people gather and interact with the people of this world.

To be honest, he also considered going back home and returning to the real world.

However, as soon as he thought about the little bit of life he had left, he immediately denied the thought.

After all, traveling through the Forest of Ghosts requires him to maintain his evil body state. If he goes back once, he might have to consume a few years of his life.

By that time, the little life he has left might not be enough to support him returning here.

Although staying in the real world is much more comfortable and relaxed than here, his life span is short and he will die before he can enjoy a few years of peace and quiet.

I finally got in touch with my mother once, but after one phone call, I disappeared again without any news. This might make my mother Yuan Xiuhua heartbroken, but it is better than seeing a young person die before an old one, isn't it?

"Given the time difference between the two worlds, one year here is ten years in the outside world."

"I hope I'll be lucky enough to increase my lifespan quickly."

"I don't need too much. A remaining twenty years of life will be enough for me to cross the Ghost Forest and return to the outside world."

Sighing, Jiang Yao swore secretly.

He was already extremely dirty and had long wanted to find a place to wash himself.

After checking the bonfire beside the pond, he ignored it, stripped naked, and dived into the pond in front of him.

The water in the pool was not very deep, just up to the waist. Soaking in the cool water, Jiang Yao felt extremely comfortable.

Lying flat in the water, he looked up at the sky.

It was just dusk and night had not yet completely fallen, and the sky was still a fiery red.

Compared to the ghost forest, the sun outside seems to be much brighter.

Suddenly, Jiang Yao saw a ray of azure blue light streaking across the sky and flying towards him.

This ray of light not only did not feel bright, but instead made him feel a little dim.

The azure blue color cut through the sky at the same slow speed, neither fast nor slow.

"Could it be that woman?"

“It’s been several days. If that light in the sky was really her, she must have been seriously injured by those monsters.

"Otherwise, the light wouldn't be so dim, and the speed wouldn't be so slow."

"You're already injured, why are you still flying? Hurry up and get down."

……

Jiang Yao, who was originally lying flat in the water, now stood up straight and looked up at the sky. If a toad wants to eat swan meat, the best way is to wait for the swan to fly over the sky and then fall from the sky.

At this moment, Jiang Yao was staring at the azure light that flashed across the sky, and he was almost drooling.

In the real world, he had heard people talk about picking up corpses at the door of a bar, but he had never tried it himself and had no experience in this area.

In this unknown alien world, if the azure light in the sky was really the cold and beautiful woman in the ghost forest, and she happened to be seriously injured and fell nearby, he really wouldn't mind experiencing what it felt like to pick up a corpse.

It was just a pity that although the azure light was crooked and not fast or slow, it did not actually fall. Instead, it quickly disappeared from his sight.

"It's only been a short time, and I've already met her twice. This is called fate."

"It's just a pity that although she and I are destined to be together, we are not destined to be together. Otherwise, she would definitely fall from the sky and roll with me."

"Forget it, stop imagining it. As a human being, you still have to rely on yourself."

Jiang Yao sighed and said with emotion.

After soaking in the water for a while and washing off most of the dirt on his body, he jumped out of the water.

The clothes he was originally wearing were already dirty and messy.

Fortunately, after the experience of almost running naked last time, he had several sets of spare clothes stored in his storage space.

After changing into a pair of jeans and a simple T-shirt, he did not run anywhere else, but started practicing the Wild Dragon Fist by the pond.

There are prey in the forest and there is water here. There are also a lot of medicinal herbs in Jiang Yao's storage space that can assist in his cultivation.

With such conditions, he naturally wanted to make himself as strong as possible and transform the resources in his hands into strength.

As for going to places where people live, although this matter is important, it cannot be rushed.

After all, although he guessed from the campfire that there were human settlements near the forest, he had no idea of ​​their exact location.

Relying on the spiritual marks left on the big trees, he traveled through the mountains and forests. Although he could ensure that he did not deviate from the direction to a certain extent, he did not know the location of the target. If he ran around like this, who knew where he would go?

Staying near the pond, he could still patrol the area during his daily practice to see if anyone came here again.

"A 150-year-old Polygonatum odoratum can only support my cultivation for more than three hours and help me improve my cultivation progress in the Bone Tempering Realm a little bit?"

"Is it because the medicinal herbs are not strong enough? Or is it because after reaching the Bone Refining Stage, I want to improve my cultivation progress a little bit, which is much more difficult than the Skin Refining Stage?"

"Tomorrow, let's take a ginseng to assist in our practice and see how it works."

A few hours later, Jiang Yao stood up with his fists clenched. He stopped practicing and his eyes fell on the light curtain panel.

Looking at the data displayed in the realm column, he was very dissatisfied and muttered.

In the real world, he used wild ginseng that was more than a hundred years old to practice. When one ginseng was used up, his practice progress would often increase by ten or eight points.

Originally, he thought that with the nearly thirty medicinal herbs in his storage space, it should not be a problem for him to cultivate the Bone Tempering Realm to perfection, let alone break through the realm.

But now, after actually starting to practice with the help of these herbs, he discovered that reality could be so cruel.

"If I only practice normally without the help of medicinal herbs, even if I have already practiced the Wild Dragon Fist to a minor level, it will still take about eighteen days to make a slight progress in my practice."

"That 150-year-old Polygonatum only helped me improve my cultivation progress a little bit. Although it was a little less, it only took me one day."

"From this perspective, with the help of medicinal herbs, my cultivation efficiency has increased by more than ten times. This is already good enough. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

……

As the saying goes, only when you are content can you be happy. When this thought appeared in Jiang Yao's mind, his tightly furrowed brows finally began to slowly relax.

In a corner of the pool, near the cliff, he found a flat and relatively clean place, restrained his breath, closed his eyes and began to rest.
