With a swing of his arm, Jiang Yuan sent Old Ma hurtling backward at a high speed.

He then took advantage of the momentum to abruptly leap forward.

The brown bear, seeing Jiang Yuan charging straight at it, had a flash of ruthless cold light in its eyes.

The next moment, it roared in anger, its paw raised high in the air.

When raised to the highest point, its paw as large as a round futon suddenly swiped down, its massive paw partly obscuring the sky.

At this time, Jiang Yuan still didn’t evade or dodge; he charged straight at the brown bear.

Seeing this scene, a trace of worry crossed Old Ma’s face.

He can’t take that blow head-on!

The bear’s qi and blood were so robust that even from tens of meters away, he could feel a massive pressure emanating from it.

In his assessment, judging by the Body Forging Realm, this brown bear was in no way inferior to a master at the blood replacement stage.

If factoring in the advantage of its size, even a master at the blood replacement stage wouldn’t dare to recklessly take its blow.

However, at this moment, it was clear that Jiang Yuan had no intention of dodging.

With this thought, he shouted right away, “Young Master, retreat quickly! You can’t bear this hit!”

At the same time.

The brown bear heavily swung its massive paw down.

It seemed to be visualizing that at the next moment, this tiny human would be turned into a puddle of blood under its paw.

Feeling this satisfaction, it wanted to howl in joy.

However, in the following moment, when they came into contact.

Thud!

A dull sound echoed.

Not as it planned, it found its paw firmly grasped by this human.

It looked baffled, a humanized confusion on its face.

From afar, Old Ma also looked equally baffled.

“How is that possible…”

His face was a picture of disbelief.

The next moment.

“Yah!”

Jiang Yuan roared, his right foot stomping on the ground.

The strength surged through his spine into his arm.

Underneath this force, the giant body of the brown bear was instantly lifted by Jiang Yuan.

Its hind legs slowly left the ground.

At this moment, the brown bear’s eyes were filled with terror.

Experiencing this force firsthand, it realized that it was no match for this seemingly fragile man before it.

Even at its peak, it could never have been a match for him.

In the face of this tremendous power, it was completely unworthy of being its opponent.

Especially since it had already lost too much blood, appearing strong but weak within, it had no power to resist at all.

Nearby, Old Ma stared in disbelief at this scene.

He muttered to himself: “How is this possible!”

“Die!”

Jiang Yuan roared, and with rounded arms, he slammed down.

Boom!

Stone-cracking sound echoed!

The ground shook, large chunks of rock fell from the cliff, and the earth quivered slightly.

The brown bear was smashed and its body went limp, lying on the ground unable to move.

At this moment.

Old Ma’s face was filled with incredulity, the brown bear powerful enough to rival a master of the blood replacement stage, was defeated by Jiang Yuan in an instant.

If this was told to others, no one would dare to believe it.

Who would believe that Jiang Yuan, who just one month ago was at the fourth level of the Body Forging Realm and was a dissolute young man, had become powerful enough now to compete with a blood replacement master at the seventh level of the Body Forging Realm.

If this news spread, everyone would just laugh it off, treating it as idle talk after meals.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan approached the brown bear and looked down at it.

The brown bear’s eyes revealed a pleading look.

Old Ma, seeing Jiang Yuan hesitating to deliver the final blow, walked over to him.

“Young Master, shall I do it for you?”

“No need!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head.

He lifted his leg and snapped his knee.

Boom!

There was a dull thud.

The bear’s head instantly exploded like a water bag, completely lifeless.

Jiang Yuan moved towards the fiery-red spirit plant and said: “There’s always a first time for everything. If I can’t even kill a mere bear, how can I grow stronger?”

“Young Master has truly grown up. The old master can now rest in peace in the heavens!”

Old Ma reassured him from behind.

…

“Uncle Ma, with your vast knowledge, can you identify this spirit medicine?”

Old Ma shook his head: “How would I recognize it? I’ve never encountered a living spirit medicine in my life.”

“Such things are usually found in the hands of immortals. If we offer it to one, the wealth and honor bestowed upon us would be inexhaustible for a lifetime.”

Jiang Yuan smiled without saying a word.

In his heart, he scoffed at the idea of wealth and honor. Even if it were thousands of pounds of gold, what of it?

This world was clearly not ordinary, without strength, so-called wealth and honor were empty.

With sufficient strength, wealth and honor would be within easy reach.

Furthermore, above the Body Forging Realm, there were other realms.

If his guess was correct, breaking through the Body Forging Realm would lead to the existence of immortals, greatly increasing lifespan.

Under such circumstances, what does wealth amount to!

This path leads to immortality!

In the history of his previous life, the word “immortality” led countless emperors into obsession.

Who in the world could escape the temptation of “immortality”?

Old Ma suddenly said, “Young Master, how did you know there was a spirit medicine here?”

“Intuition!” Jiang Yuan, lost in thought, answered absently.

After a while, he came back to his senses and looked at the spirit plant before him.

Old Ma anxiously said, “Young Master, stop daydreaming! Quickly consume and refine this spirit plant, it will surely increase your strength significantly!”

Jiang Yuan shook his head: “No rush!”

After saying that, he bent over and plucked a leaf from the spirit plant placing it in his mouth.

Old Ma watched Jiang Yuan nervously.

A few moments passed and he noticed no changes in Jiang Yuan’s state.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Young Master, how do you feel? Do you feel anything?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head and closed his eyes.

Then he slightly moved his lips and gently bit the surface of the green leaf.

In an instant, a burst of cool juice gushed out.

It spread from his tongue tip into his body, just as refreshing as a timely rain after a drought.

The cells in his body seemed enlivened.

Feeling the various changes within his body, Jiang Yuan was utterly astonished.

Recenty, his body seemed to be in a constant state of deficit.

With the medicinal power of the leaf, he noticed his body’s changes.

Upon reflection, he found it reasonable.

The strength of his physical body was increasing every day and his Bone Marrow Cleansing progress was also growing on its own. But everything conserved energy – it couldn’t be created from nothing.

The day his physical body strength got a leapfrogging promotion and he kept depleting his body without replenishing it, a deficit was obvious.

Luckily he realised early. If this continued, longer delay might even harm the roots of his body.

Thinking this, he felt relieved.

Then he swallowed the green leaf completely and opened his eyes.

The leaf instantly transformed into a surge of pure energy in his stomach, which was immediately absorbed and refined by his body.

However, this surge of energy could barely patch up his body’s deficit, instead it fully awakened his dormant physical body.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan could clearly feel a starving signal from within his body.

Seeing Jiang Yuan return to his senses, Old Ma hastily asked, “Young Master, how do you feel? Is it poisonous?”

Jiang Yuan shook his head: “No poison. It’s a true spirit plant.”

“That’s great!” Old Ma’s eyes lit up, “Young Master, quickly refine it. A complete spirit plant, this is a huge opportunity!”
