Medical Sage

Damn it, who is this human, and why is he here? Could it be...

As Chen Fei gradually closed his eyes to start healing, the bull-sized Silver Grey Wolf Demon was also studying him with a slight change in expression, a look of panic emanating from its bell-like pupils.

Their race was endowed with exceptional talents, extraordinary from birth. Once they reached adulthood, they directly became Third-Level Demon Beasts, and that was just the beginning—who wouldn’t be envious? At least within the Eagle Gorge Area, this was certainly the case.

If given a choice, who wouldn’t want to raise a Demon Pet guaranteed to become a Third-Level Demon Beast?

A Third-Level Demon Beast was equivalent to a Cultivator of the Human Race at the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm. That was the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm! What an incredible concept that was.

Once he reached adulthood, he would undoubtedly be able to strut around the Eagle Gorge Area without fear of provocation. Who would dare to trouble him?

But now, he was still a long way from adulthood. That was a path that might take only a few years to complete, or it could take decades! In other words, he was still in a perilous juvenile phase.

If any expert or powerful being discovered him and set their sights on forcibly taking him as a Demon Pet, his fate would be sealed.

Their race’s habitat was not in Eagle Gorge, but extremely far from here, so there was no one who could stand up for him. This was also the reason he chose to hide in such a remote and wild forest, hoping to survive until adulthood. Only then would he have sufficient strength for self-preservation and a chance to return to his race’s habitat.

Moreover, in such a secluded and desolate region, the knowledge of both other races and humans was undoubtedly limited. It was unlikely they would recognize his race’s origins and identity. And indeed, this had been the case.

He had been cultivating in this area for at least a few years. The people and various races nearby only considered him a wolf demon with a solitary nature; no one had suspected him or thought otherwise. But now, this human had managed to identify his origins and identity at a single glance...

At this thought, the Silver Grey Wolf Demon felt a chill deep in its bones, its body weakening as if laden with an immense weight! If this human intended to target him or sell the news of his presence... The wolf’s gaze uncontrollably filled with panic and madness as he stared intently at Chen Fei.

If that happened, his future would be unthinkable! He didn’t want his freedom to be taken away, to be turned into a Demon Pet—why else would he hide in this dense forest, painstakingly refining his bloodline day after day, all for the sake of maturing as swiftly as possible to gain the power to protect himself?

”Don’t look at me like that... I know you’re hiding in these wild mountains to reach adulthood and avoid being captured as a Demon Pet, right? Relax. I’m not interested in you, nor will I sell the information about your presence here. I just need to heal my injuries for a while. That’s all,” a calm voice suddenly said. It was none other than Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, speaking indifferently with his eyes still closed.

The Silver Grey Wolf Demon trembled upon hearing this. The panic and madness in its eyes gradually subsided, giving way to skepticism.

It wasn’t that Chen Fei’s casual remark convinced him, but rather that the circumstances were out of his control. Chen Fei was far stronger, so even if the wolf demon didn’t believe him, he had no choice but to hold his tongue for now.

Time flew by. After a full day and a night, Chen Fei gradually awoke from his healing meditation. His eyes opened, shining brightly, and his body radiated a faint light that exuded an immense, unconscious pressure. He had, indeed, fully recovered.

”As expected of the Cultivation World; it’s so much more comfortable than Earth.” After rousing himself from his meditative state, Chen Fei checked his body and was momentarily lost in thought. A keen light flashed in his eyes as he exclaimed with admiration.

The Cultivation World was truly different. Just by meditating for a day and a night, he had gone from being injured to completely recovering his peak strength! He even felt vaguely stronger than when he had just made his breakthrough.

”This is probably because you successfully endured the Four Layer Thunder Tribulation Spirit Qi Baptism! The sheer richness of the spiritual energy in this environment alone can’t account for such an exaggerated effect. Under normal circumstances, your injuries would have taken at least ten days to heal, but now...” Zhen Jingkong’s voice sounded from within Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness, his tone particularly solemn and astonished. He knew there had to be changes after the baptism of the Thunder Tribulation Spiritual Qi. Is this one of them? His recovery ability has reached a terrifying level, more than ten times faster than an ordinary person’s.

”Is that so? Well, that’s quite good...” Hearing this, Chen Fei was momentarily stunned, but the corners of his mouth quickly curled into a faint, excited smile. If this incredible recovery ability is truly a benefit of successfully enduring the Four Layer Thunder Tribulation Spirit Qi Baptism, then this is amazing. It’s a unique advantage, after all. If others knew, they’d surely turn green with envy, right? Hahaha.

After his silent chuckle, his gaze once again fell upon a corner of the cave. The Silver Grey Wolf Demon was curled up there, its huge body lying motionless. If one didn’t look closely, the dim light made it difficult to spot, like a statue hidden in the darkness. Only its cold, cruel eyes would flicker occasionally, sending an involuntary shiver down one’s spine and causing a deep sense of unease.

Even now that Chen Fei had awoken, it remained in the corner like a statue, not moving or speaking, showing no intention of communicating with Chen Fei.

Seeing this, Chen Fei gave a wry smile and slowly said, ”Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Chen Fei, and I think we could have a chat...”

”I have nothing to talk about with you!” Before he could even finish, the Silver Grey Wolf Demon coldly interrupted him.

The wolf demon fixed its cold, cruel eyes on Chen Fei, its attitude extremely unwelcoming. ”Human, isn’t it time for you to leave!?”

Clearly, despite what Chen Fei had said, the wolf demon still couldn’t believe he truly had ’no interest’ in him. Therefore, he just wanted Chen Fei to disappear from his sight as soon as possible. Then, he too could swiftly leave this place to find a new, safe haven.

”You really are quite vigilant. But, do I need to be more forceful before you’re willing to cooperate?” Hearing this, Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, could only shake his head helplessly. He looked toward the Silver Grey Wolf Demon and waved his hand.

WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH...

Thirty-Six Paths of Sanyang True Fire Sword Qi appeared once again, instantly suppressing the creature with overwhelming power.

BANG!

CRACK, CRACK...

A terrifying force instantly slammed its enormous body to the ground with a dull thud. The rock beneath it fractured, and crevices spiderwebbed across the floor as its Demon Qi surged chaotically, rendering it immobile.

”I have some things I’d like to learn from you. So now, I’ll ask, and you’ll answer. If you refuse to cooperate again, don’t blame me for punching a few holes in your head... Honestly, I didn’t want to do this,” Chen Fei said, slowly shaking his head as he looked at the now somewhat fearful Silver Grey Wolf Demon. This time, the wolf demon didn’t dare utter another ’no’. It had become much more compliant.

Following that, the cave echoed with the sound of questions and answers between Chen Fei, Young Master Chen, and the Silver Grey Wolf Demon.
