After finishing the copying process of the Cyan Heart Lotus, his subconsciously shift his gaze to the bottom of the lake and focused intently on the lair of the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon.
Whether is was a snake, python, serpent, or a dragon, they were all born with the desire to possess treasures that emitted some sort of bright radiance.
A few days ago, he had jsut discovered a pile of divine weapons and a Storage Bag that were all emitting some sort of light in the lair of the Jade White Python.
Thus, he figured that there would be even more treasures of higher quality hidden within the lair of the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon. If he managed to get his hands on even a few of them, it would definitely end up as a huge boost to his strength and provide him with even more trump cards.
Staring at the surface of the lake for a dozen or so seconds, Chu Zhongtian hurriedly shook his head and thought otherwise to take such unnecessary risks.
He realized that he was being far too greedy at this point. Though it was not exactly a bad thing, he still had to act with his own abilities in mind.
The Seventh Grade Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon would undoubtedly have set up many means to protect its own lair. Thus, if he, a cultivator in the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Realm, were to dive down in an attempt to retrieve the treasures hidden within, would it not essentially be him giving up his own life voluntarily?
With such thoughts, Chu Zhongtian swam back to land immediately and rushed towards the outer perimeter of the Endless Forest.
Although there were still three days left before he planned on ending his training in the Endless Forest, he figured that he had already gained more than enough. Besides, with the massacre of the strange beasts by the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon just now, it would be nearly impossible for him to find even more High-Rank Strange Beasts for him to hunt within a radius of a hundred miles. Since it would be meaningless for him to stay here and continue training, he decided to return early back to Luolin Town.
After running a few hundred meters away from the lake, Chu Zhongtian suddenly came to a stop as he looked ahead with a complicated expression.
After all, right in front of him was... the princess of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, Donfang Yun'er, leaning against a tree. Since her clothes were tattered from being struck by the energy beam just now, the layer of armor she wore beneath was emitting a great sense of pressure.
Chu Zhongtian did not stop running because he was interested in her body, but rather, he saw that Dongfang Yun'er was still breathing, meaning that she was not dead yet.
It was precisely because of this woman's sudden arrivial in Qi Country that prevented him from continuing his cultivation in the Hidden Dragon Pavilion and forced to enter the Endless Forest for more training on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Logically speaking, Chu Zhongtian had every right to despise her, and it would not even be an exaggeration for him to kill her right then and there. But for some odd reason, his heart softened up when he saw her weak body and traces of blood flowing down her bleach pale face.
"Looks like I'm still not ruthless enough!" Chu Zhongtian sighed and walked forward after considering for a while. Bending over, he picked up the seriously injured Dongfang Yun'er before contuining making his way back.
When he carried her up, Chu Zhongtian found out that she actually had a very good figure despite his slightly slender appearance. Her voluptuous and marshmellow-soft buttocks especially aroused his lustful desires.
Feeling the slight change in his lower abdomen, Chu Zhongtian cursed at himself. How could he have such lustful desires for a heavily injured woman?
Nothing know any meditation spells, he could only silently recite Bodhi he had often used to calm his mind in his previous life to forcefully suppress his lust ful thoughts.
Since most of the High Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts had already been brutally killed by the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon, with his Peak Realm Movement Technique, he quickly arrived at the border between the Mid Rank and High Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts.
Upon arriving at that border, Chu Zhongtian paused for a moment and looked at Dongfang Yun'er with a complicated expression on his face. He then decided to change his direction and proceeded towards the lair of the Jade White Python.
If Chu Zhongtian was by himself now, he would definitely hurry on back to Luolin Town as soon as possible. However, he had many concerns about bringing Dongfang Yun'er back with him.
Firstly, there were still countless Mid Rank Tenth Grade Strange Beasts roaming around their territory as they were not close enough to the lake to be attracted to the Cyan Heart Lotus. Carrying a seriously injured woman with him would slow him down and prevent him from using his full strength.
Secondly, Chu Zhongtian did not know if all the experts sent by the three great families to hunt him down had died or not. If he encountered someone stronger than him, the severely injured Dongfang Yun'er would definitely end up being as a burden for him.
Thirdly, even if he did manage to arrive safely in Luolin Town, he would he explain this matter to the Grand Elder and manager? As such, he planned to help Dongfang Yun'er recover her strength for the time being. Only after she recovers some of her strength would he then leave the Endless Forest alone.
Having already marked the entire cave in the past, he did not speed too much effect to return to the lair of the Jade White Python.
After finding a relatively clean place, Chu Zhongtian placed Dongfang Yun'er down on the ground and took out a bottle of pills from his Storage Bag.
"How fortunate for you!" Chu Zhongtian said with a heartache as he looked down at the Low Rank Ninth Grade Healing Pill in his hand.
This bottle of Healing Pills was given to him by the Grand Elder when he left the Chu Family just in case he ever comes across as situation of life and death.
When he was carelessly stabbed by the Lion Scorpion previously, he was forced to take some of the pills, albeit reluctantly. Now, in order to save a complete stranger whom he despised, he had no choice but to use it on her too.
Since Dongfang Yun'er was currently unconscious and could not take the pill by herself, Chu Zhongtian had no choice but to open her mouth with his fingers, and feed the pill into her mouth.
Without any experiencing of treating people, Chu Zhongtian left her alone to recover with time after feeding her the pill.
Leaving the unconscious Dongfang Yun'er alone, Chu Zhongtian chose a relatively clean place to sit down with his legs crossed.
With that, he sat in meditation to recover his exhausted spiritual qi that he used to run for his life. After replenishing his spiritual qi, he then took out three Red Sages.
Now, he needed to break through to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm with all his strength.
Although he had reached the bottleneck of breaking through to the next layer for a while now, he was unable to break through previously due to the lack of Red Sages.
In order to avoid the attack of the Crimson-Eyed Flood Dragon just now, he forcefully broke through with his movement technique to its peak. At the same time, it had also loosened up his bottleneck. This was now the best time for him to break through.
Taking a glance at the unconscious Dongfang Yun'er, Chu Zhongtian took out a Red Sage and swallowed it down. As its energy melted into his body and began spreading out all over, he immediately circulated the Taixuan Heart Sutra and began absorbing the energy.
Time ticked away slowly.
By the time he had consumed the three Red Sage, the aura around his body had already increased dozens of times. At the same time, the surrounding spiritual qi in the vicinity rushed into his body, causing the weeds around him to sway back and forth.
Spitting out a breath of foul air from his chest, Chu Zhongtian opened his eyes, and a trace of fear flashed across his face.
According to his calculations, the spiritual qi contained in the three Red Sages was enough to guarantee his breakthrough to the Eighth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm. However, he had greatly underestimated his potential. Upon consuming the third Red Sage, he was indeed able to break through.
But upon doing so, the force within his dantian instantly consumed every single drop of spiritual qi he absorbed from the three Red Sages.
If it was not for the fact that the spiritual qi in this place was unusually abundant, he would definitely have suffered great damages due to his lack of spiritual qi.
