In a primeval forest with towering ancient trees, two Saint Realm demon beasts were locked in a fierce battle over a sacred herb.
One of them was an Azure Light Great Eagle, its entire body radiating intense azure light as it spat out an azure silk-like energy, aggressively charging towards its opponent.
Its opponent was a gray Wasteland Giant Wolf. Facing the Azure Light Great Eagle's attack, it howled towards the sky, its fur standing on end, and shattered the azure energy with its giant claws.
Both sides were evenly matched, and in the back-and-forth exchange, both sustained injuries to varying degrees.
While the two demon beasts were engaged in a life-and-death struggle, others had already set their sights on them.
On a mountain peak a hundred miles away, two figures, one tall and one short, stood side by side. The tall figure was eight feet tall, while the short figure barely reached the tall one's knees.
"Little Min'er, you are five years old this year, and it's time to start cultivation. Today, your teacher will teach you the first lesson in cultivation."
Li Beifei said to Wei Min.
Wei Min was the daughter of Wei Suo and Alan, the Chaos Body born five years ago.
"What is it?" Wei Min asked.
"When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits!"
Li Beifei wore a profound look, but in reality, he was just being a sly old fox.
Having been able to understand human speech since birth, hopping and skipping around, and communicating smoothly with people at just one month old, she was now five years old and even more knowledgeable and had a good memory. She understood the meaning of "when the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
But she still had doubts.
"Master, can't you beat those two demon beasts?" she asked.
"Not at all, not at all." Li Beifei shook his head and said, "Your teacher can crush those two demon beasts with a flick of a finger, but the main reason I want them to fight to the point of mutual destruction before making a move is to tell you that the world is incredibly treacherous, and you must be careful in everything you do."
"Sometimes, don't assume you have a sure chance of winning just because the other party's cultivation is lower than yours. There are too many people with sinister hearts in this world. They are very strong, but they deliberately suppress their cultivation to play the part of a pig eating a tiger. These people are the most insidious."
Wei Min looked up at Li Beifei, a trace of doubt flashing in her innocent eyes. She said, "I feel like Master, you are talking about yourself?"
"Huh? Is that so?" Li Beifei asked without batting an eye.
"Isn't Master also deliberately suppressing his cultivation in the Extraordinary Realm? Aunt Yanran and Aunt Yuran have already broken through to the Carefree Realm," Wei Min said.
"Well, look, their battle has already entered a fever pitch. We can make a move in a little while."
Li Beifei seamlessly changed the subject, pointing to the two great demon beasts a hundred miles away.
The two demon beasts were now covered in blood. Although their aura was still overwhelming, in Li Beifei's view, their strength was not as good as it was at the beginning.
"Master, isn't this what Grandmaster calls being a sly old fox?" Wei Min asked abruptly.
Li Beifei's eyes darkened, and he looked down at Wei Min, asking, "Don't listen to that old guy, your grandmaster, talking nonsense. He's just senile."
"Master, aren't you afraid of Grandmaster beating you if he finds out you're calling him senile?" Wei Min asked curiously. She had seen her master beaten by her grandmaster more than once. Every time, her master would say crazy things and contradict her grandmaster. Every time he was beaten, her master would shout that he was wrong, but after being beaten, her master still didn't change.
"If you don't say anything, how will that old guy know?" Li Beifei raised his eyebrows, glancing around with a guilty conscience. He felt relieved when he found that Gu Changsheng was not around. As long as that old guy shielded his perception of him, he wouldn't know he was scolding him behind his back.
And according to the old sly fox's previous statement, the old guy had already shielded his perception of him, so he dared to be so unscrupulous.
Li Beifei continued, "The reason I'm doing this is to tell you that no matter what, you must ensure your personal safety. If you can win with one point of strength, don't use two points of strength. Although you are a Chaos Body with an incredibly powerful physique, there are always some individuals who cannot be viewed in the conventional way. This kind of person doesn't have any special physique, but somehow got lucky and either pioneered a new cultivation system or developed new limits in the existing realm. In front of this kind of person, any physique is just a cloud, so be careful in everything."
Li Beifei's words were filled with resentment towards someone.
"Master, do you mean there's always someone better?" Wei Min summarized.
"Well, you summarized it very well. As expected of my disciple." Li Beifei laughed heartily, inwardly feeling ashamed. In terms of literary talent, he was actually being outdone by a five-year-old girl.
"Master, I understand. I will be careful in the future," Wei Min nodded. Although she was young, she was very sensible.
"A promising child!" Li Beifei was overjoyed.
"Master, is it time to make a move?" Wei Min said.
At this time, the two demon beasts had already separated. They glared at each other, but did not fight again because they had suffered serious injuries.
Seeing this, Li Beifei nodded and said, "Watch your teacher."
With that, Li Beifei was about to make a move, but someone was faster than him.
"Boom!"
A figure suddenly appeared and attacked the two demon beasts without saying a word. His weapon was a long sword, and with a single slash, two sword energies struck the two demon beasts respectively.
The two demon beasts were obviously frightened by this sudden attack and hurriedly moved their huge bodies to dodge, not even seeing clearly what strength the attacker possessed.
However, the sword wielder's strength was obviously inferior to the two demon beasts. Even though the two demon beasts were now mutually injured, he did not dare to engage in a prolonged battle. After forcing the two demon beasts back, he flashed to the side of the sacred herb, snatched it with lightning speed, and then flashed away, fleeing into the distance.
His speed was very fast, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye.
By the time the two demon beasts reacted, the person had already disappeared without a trace, and they could only roar angrily at the sky.
"Good kid, actually stealing my sacred herb right under my nose."
The matter happened too quickly, only taking two breaths of time from beginning to end, leaving him unable to react.
"Master, what should we do now? A sacred herb can sell for at least five million high-grade source crystals," Wei Min stretched out five round, short fingers, looking like a little money grubber.
"Don't worry, he can't escape."
Li Beifei picked up Wei Min, took a step, and chased after that person.
He had already seen the person's cultivation level, the Third Level of the Saint Realm, while the two demon beasts were both at the peak of the Saint Realm. No wonder he was thinking of偷袭 (tōuxí - stealth attack/surprise attack).
The Third Level of the Saint Realm, no matter how fast he is, he can't be faster than him!
......
Northwest Desert, Banrong City.
Li Beifei chased after that person with Wei Min.
"Master, aren't we going to chase anymore?" Wei Min asked in confusion, because her home was in Banrong City, and her mother, Aunt Yanran, Aunt Yuran, and Grandmaster were all in the city.
Li Beifei was also ashamed. He didn't expect that person's speed to be so fast. Even though he used Shrinking the Earth to an Inch, he couldn't catch up for a while. Obviously, the other party was quite accomplished in the art of escape.
However, part of the reason was that his own cultivation was lower than that person's.
"That person has already entered the city. We'll drag him out."
Li Beifei said.
"Isn't this bad?" Wei Min hesitated.
Wei Min was, after all, not Li Beifei. She didn't have Li Beifei's thick skin to regard the wild sacred herb as her own. Now, going into the city to rob someone else's sacred herb, wouldn't that be regarded as a villain?
"What are you afraid of? No one in the city is your teacher's opponent," Li Beifei said confidently. Banrong City was Wei Suo's hometown, a city with extremely scarce resources. The strongest person was only at the peak of the Carefree Realm, not his opponent.
"Grandmaster is also inside!" Wei Min reminded.
"He's not human."
Li Beifei's face darkened.
