Afterwards, Qin Yichen left briefly to carefully gather some medicinal herbs in the surroundings, then returned to begin refining Pills.

After just over a quarter hour, with a wave of his hand, an emerald green Pill burst out from the Pill Furnace and was caught by Qin Yichen.

“Take this.” Qin Yichen handed this Pill to the black-robed person.

The latter did not hesitate at all, taking the Pill and swallowing it immediately.

The Pill dissolved instantly in the the black-robed person’s mouth, becoming a stream of pure medicinal properties flowing into their body. The black-robed person’s expression changed. The black-robed person quickly sat down cross-legged and began meditating. It was only an hour later that this person’s tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and in that instant, their usually calm and cold eyes flashed with joy.

The black-robed person could feel that after taking that Pill, the black energy that had been constantly corroding their body had actually calmed down for the first time…

Though the black-robed person did not know how long it would last, this feeling still made the black-robed person feel incredibly relieved and satisfied.

“This Pill can protect you from Black Demon Energy’s corrosion for one month, but that’s assuming you don’t advance in your cultivation realm. If you break through to the Martial King Realm, the Black Demon Energy will immediately rebound. When that happens, I’ll refine another Pill for you.” Qin Yichen spoke with a serious expression. Using Pills to suppress Black Demon Energy was only the last resort.

Although Qin Yichen had a Secret Technique for cultivating Black Demon Energy, their relationship clearly had not reached the point of sharing Secret Techniques.

“So this thing is called Black Demon Energy?” Hearing this unfamiliar name, the black-robed person muttered, but did not continue asking how Qin Yichen knew about it.

“Thank you!” The black-robed person’s tone was unusually free of its typical coldness. After a pause, the black-robed person formally introduced themself, “My name is Lin Tianhui.”

“Qin Yichen.” Qin Yichen nodded, not concealing his name.

“Let’s wait until it’s convenient to refine the Seven-Coloured Flowers and Fruits.”

Qin Yichen scanned the surroundings. Refining the Seven-Coloured Flowers and Fruits would certainly cause quite a disturbance. In the end, he decided it was better not to take that risk. After all, he had not forgotten being chased by a group of fierce Demonic Beasts just hours ago.

“Um, Brother Lin, are we going to stay here until the three days are over?” Qin Yichen smacked his lips and asked.

Regarding the rules within the Twilight Tower, Lin Tianhui clearly understood more than him. If it were not for Qin Yichen causing the Beast Tide, Lin Tianhui would still be quietly hiding in his original spot.

“You can hide here for three days if you want, but then there’d be no point in coming here.” Lin Tianhui really wondered if Qin Yichen was pretending not to know. [Hadn’t the Noble who recommended you explained what to watch out for in the Twilight Tower?]

Qin Yichen had never been to the Twilight Tower before, so he naturally did not know about things inside. Even Liang Hongshen had never entered, and only knew some superficial details about the Twilight Tower.

However, seeing Qin Yichen’s bewildered expression, Lin Tianhui shook his head, gave him a sideways glance, and said. “There are too many dangers here, so people who enter the Twilight Tower usually hide for two days, then try their luck outside on the third day to see if they can find some rare spirit medicine. Even if they encounter danger on the third day, they just need to survive it.”

“This place isn’t as vast as you think. When everyone moves together, the Demonic Beasts will be more scattered.”

After hearing Lin Tianhui’s words, Qin Yichen finally understood much more. He had not expected the Twilight Tower to have such unwritten rules.

Still, this was good too. On the last day, if he was just a bit careful, he might not even encounter Li Aofeng. After obtaining a Noble title, with Noble privileges, he would not have to worry so much about pressure from the Li Family.

…

While in hiding, the first two days passed with some tension but no real danger.

On the third day, the previously quiet dense forest began showing signs of activity, clearly indicating that the others who had entered with Qin Yichen were beginning to search for spirit medicine.

Hearing those disturbances, several Martial Kings in various locations simultaneously began to move on their own.

Thus, the originally quiet forest became noisy, with occasional earth-shaking roars accompanied by powerful Yuan Energy fluctuations.

An hour later, in one part of the forest, Qin Yichen and Lin Tianhui stood side by side. In front of them were two fierce Demonic Beasts, both with auras at the Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm!

“I’ll take the one on the left, you handle the other one. Let’s finish this quickly.” Qin Yichen pointed at the two Demonic Beasts, his aura locking onto the left one as he spoke.

Lin Tianhui did not speak. He just stomped his foot and charged toward the right Demonic Beast.

[Man, he is so cold…] Qin Yichen commented in his mind, but did not comment further. He just quickly darted toward the left Demonic Beast.

*Bang! Bang!* In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, with two explosive sounds, Qin Yichen and Lin Tianhui almost simultaneously finished their battles.

“Hundred Year Old Ice Grass, not bad…” After dealing with the two Demonic Beasts, Qin Yichen pulled up the spirit medicine they were guarding, directly putting it in his clothes and throwing it into the Pill Furnace.

This left Lin Tianhui speechless. Others at most brought one or two jade boxes to store spirit medicine, but this guy threw everything into his clothes. He really could not understand how Qin Yichen could store so many things.

However, he had no idea that Qin Yichen’s unremarkable Pill Furnace had such a huge space inside of it. It could even hold a small mountain if needed.

“Why are you spacing out for? Quick, let’s go. More Demonic Beasts will come soon enough.”

Qin Yichen glanced at Lin Tianhui, observed for a moment, then darted off in one direction.

Looking at the ground where not even a hair remained, Lin Tianhui’s mouth twitched. Finally, after taking a deep breath, he chose to follow Qin Yichen.

This was not just because Qin Yichen had temporarily solved the pain from the black energy consuming his body. During these few days of interaction, he had also discovered that this guy had an extremely keen Spiritual Energy perception. He could perfectly avoid the encirclement of Demonic Beasts.

Afterwards, Qin Yichen and Lin Tianhui thoroughly searched a considerable area of the dense forest.

During this time, they encountered some dangers, but working together, they even managed to drive back a Demonic Beast that had just advanced to the Martial King Realm.

“Five Hundred Year Old Fire Lingzhi, not bad.”

Qin Yichen casually pulled up the spirit medicine from the ground and put it into his Pill Furnace. Just as he was about to look for the next target, his expression suddenly changed, because he sensed a somewhat familiar aura rapidly approaching his location.
