Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

New author, new book. Welcome all readers.

"What kind of medicinal herb is this?"

Snapped.

At this moment, Bai Ze was already standing on Li Youan's shoulder. Upon hearing Li Youan's words, Bai Ze slapped the back of Li Youan's head with one paw.

"Ugh, I really don't understand, and I don't have the opportunity to learn." Li Youan lowered her head and said in a dejected tone, which was truly heartbreaking and brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it.

Bai Ze felt he had gone too far, so he took the initiative to extend a paw and gently place it on Li Youan's cheek, gently rubbing it clockwise as a gesture of comfort.

Li Youan's right hand, which was hidden to one side, shot out like lightning and grabbed Bai Ze's waving claw.

"Hehe, I caught you."

The naive and inexperienced Bai Ze was momentarily stunned and didn't quite grasp what was happening.

By the time Bai Ze realized what was happening, he was already in Li Youan's arms, his left arm wrapped around him, and his right hand was quickly tickling the itchy spot under Bai Ze's armpit.

"Serves you right for tricking me just now. I almost fed the fish and turned into fish poop."

"I'm going to show you what despair truly means."

Li Youan scratched rapidly with his right hand, his mouth never stopping.

"Coo coo coo!"

"Coo coo coo!"

Bai Ze's little body writhed wildly in Li Youan's arms, its big eyes narrowed into slits, and its mouth swung from side to side, trying to bite Li Youan's right hand that was scratching an itch.

Before long, Bai Ze gave up struggling, looking like he had been played with. He opened his mouth, his tongue sticking out, and rhythmically swung it in sync with Li Youan's right hand.

Li Youan also knew when to stop, so he stopped the movement with his right hand and used his left hand to put Bai Ze back on his shoulder.

Bai Ze paused on Li Youan's shoulder for a moment, then flashed above Li Youan's head, tearing at Li Youan's hair with his limbs and mouth.

"No, no, Brother Bai, Master Bai, don't ruin my handsome hairstyle."

Now it's Li Youan's turn to start jumping around.

After a lot of commotion between the man and the beast, they finally quieted down.

Who knows what it will be like for Li Youan, who has become an immortal martial saint, and the divine beast Bai Ze to recall their first encounter many years later.

Standing back by the pool, Li Youan pointed to the aquatic plants at the bottom of the pool.

"You mean, this is a medicinal herb?"

When Li Youan was catching fish before, he saw these aquatic plants and thought they were just ordinary plants.

Li Youan picked a water plant and held it in her hand. "What's this called? What's it used for?"

Bai Ze jumped to the ground to the side and quickly wrote on the ground with its front hooves.

"Green snail grass?"

"Wait a minute, why aren't you saying anything? 'When the marsh beast emerges, it can speak and understands the essence of all things.' You can speak, don't tease me."

Upon hearing Li Youan's words, Bai Ze rolled his eyes and wrote on the ground, "Special circumstances, and you're too incompetent."

Looking at the words Bai Ze had written, Li Youan was very puzzled. "You can't speak, what does that have to do with my cooking?"

Upon hearing Li Youan's words, a golden light flashed across Bai Ze's forehead.

By the time Li Youan realized what was happening, the golden light had already entered between his eyebrows.

"Huh? This is...?"

Li Youan felt as if a martial arts technique called "Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission" had appeared in his mind.

"Is this a method of exchanging vital energy? Do you have other techniques?"

Thinking of this, Li Youan immediately pounced on Bai Ze, hugged him in his arms, and began to coax and plead with him.

"Give me a cultivation technique, a Heaven-rank one will do."

"I'm not greedy at all. Besides, it would be too beneath Lord Bai Ze to use a cultivation technique below the Heaven Rank. I can't let Lord Bai Ze down."

Before Li Youan could even linger for a moment, Bai Ze broke free from her embrace and reappeared in the pool, splashing water with its two front hooves to wash its body.

"No, don't go too far, don't make me kneel down and beg you."

Li Youan gritted her teeth and spoke the softest words in the harshest tone.

With a flick of its little hoof, water droplets formed several words in the air: "Your strength is too low; you cannot learn my techniques."

"Reality"

"force"

"too"

"Low"

"study"

"No"

"了"

These words were like sharp swords, piercing Li Youan's heart.

"Fool, learn 'Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission' first, so we can communicate better."

The water droplets in the air, under Bai Ze's control, changed and combined to form a new sentence.

Li Youan deliberately ignored Bai Ze's arrogant face, placed the Green Snail Grass beside him, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate "Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission".

Fortunately, this technique was not difficult, and after a few tries, Li Youan was able to use it proficiently.

"Hey, can you hear me? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Fool."

"Hey, what are you doing..."

"Don't waste time, aren't you in a hurry?" Bai Ze interrupted Li Youan, who wanted to continue joking around.

Hearing this, Li Youan said no more, bent down to pick up the green snail grass from the ground, and looked at Bai Ze.

"The fish you just caught in this pool is called a green snail fish. Its flesh can help you absorb the components of the green snail grass. We can't extract it into a medicinal liquid, so this is the only way we can use it," Bai Ze explained in the water.

"But if you absorb it in this crude way, without combining it with other herbs, the medicinal effects of the Green Snail Grass will directly temper your body through pure vital energy. This is a very painful process, and once you start, you must persevere to the end."

Looking at Bai Ze's serious expression, Li Youan asked the question that had been bothering her, "What do I have that makes you want to help me like this?"

"Didn't you call me a fellow villager?" Bai Ze asked with a deliberately mysterious expression.

Li Youan froze on the spot.

"Yeah, I've already revealed my biggest trump card besides the panel. What an absolute idiot."

"I'll help you. Your so-called 'fellow townsman' is only a small part of the reason. The main reason is that you have the feeling of familiar old friends. Besides, it's not enough for me to leave this world alone."

"Leave this world?" Li Youan asked, somewhat confused. "You mean ascend to immortality?"

"Ha, what a laughable 'ascension'. You'll understand when you're strong enough."

"Stop wasting time, go eat your green snail grass."

Bai Ze gave a complicated "heh" and then changed the subject.

"All riddle tellers should die."

Li Youan mentally complained for a moment, then prepared to take the green snail grass.

After catching a few more green snails, Li Youan mixed the fish meat with green snail grass, didn't savor it, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it frantically, and then swallowed it directly.

Previously, when eating only fish, there was no particular taste, but now, mixed together, Li Youan felt a strange taste rushing straight to the top of his head.

Before the smell had even faded, a sharp pain from the deepest part of his body suddenly erupted. "Ugh!" Li Youan clenched his teeth tightly, enduring wave after wave of pain.

"ah!"

Li Youan drew his bone whip and charged into the river, hoping to distract himself from the pain through fighting.

thump.

Li Youan deliberately made a loud noise when he entered the water in order to attract the attention of the silver-scaled scorpion fish.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Youan entered the water, the fish gathered around him.

Whoosh whoosh.

The bone whip and the water arrows collided violently, and most of the water arrows that were aimed at Li Youan were scattered. The few that came close were also dodged by Li Youan.

"Oh, ah."

The essence of the green snail grass, after being mixed with vital energy, circulates through Li Youan's bones, meridians, and muscles, causing cell division, strengthening, and recombination.

Strong bones and muscles create resilient meridians, and resilient meridians can store more and better quality vital energy.

Waves of pain washed over him, but Li Youan gritted his teeth and persevered. He could feel his strength slowly increasing, so the pain was bearable.

At the same time, the number of Silverscale Scorpion Fish that gathered not only increased, but their strength also increased, forcing Li Youan to devote more energy to the battle.

Li Youan maneuvered and dodged in the water, constantly killing the silver-scaled scorpion fish that surrounded him.

The once clear river water was once again stained red with fish blood.

Meanwhile, Bai Ze was floating in the pool, humming an unknown tune, occasionally glancing at Li Youan in the water.

"This kid's got some skills after all."

The entire cave created a strange yet harmonious scene.
