The flood dragon believed that the kid in front of him could not even defeat it. If it was not because of him manifesting the true dragon, it would definitely kill him. Now, the kid in front of him actually wanted it to accept him as it master?!
“I know that you feel that my current cultivation is too low. However, I am a pill master. I will be able to improve my cultivation at a very fast pace. Although the spiritual Qi here is very dense with a Spiritual Origin Tree here, the most you could eat is only one of the fruits. After that, your future cultivation progression will have to rely on yourself. If you were to follow me, I will pass on an even better cultivation method and in the future, I will also give you pills to promote your cultivation. This will be a lot better compared to you having to work hard in order to excel.”
Cheng Yu really wished to subdue the flood dragon. After all, this was the most powerful flood dragon he had met. Even though it was still immature, it was also ownerless. As long as it was willing, it would be Cheng Yu’s strongest helping hand in increasing the chances of upholding the safety of Lan Ya.
Hence, Cheng Yu took out a bottle of pills and threw it in front of the flood dragon. He threw a Soul Strengthening Pill at the flood dragon’s mouth. When the flood dragon saw the pills in front of it, its eyes shined. It sniffed the pill beside its mouth and glimpsed at Cheng Yu. Immediately, it swallowed the pills.
In an instant, the vitality of the flood dragon recovered. The long sword wound on its back also started to heal up slowly.
“How is it? Want to follow me? In the future, if I have the necessary herbs, I can refine even better pills to help you increase your cultivation. It will be a lot better compared to your current speed,” When Cheng Yu saw the flood dragon was tempted, he tried to entice it further.
The flood dragon looked at the piles of pills in front of it and the true dragon in the sky. It hesitated. However, after a while, it still shook its head. Although the pills Cheng Yu had given him just now were quite miraculous, it was not essential to the flood dragon. Even if Cheng Yu had not helped him to recover, with the dense spiritual Qi here, it would also recover itself within a few days.
Cheng Yu didn’t mind as this beast would not mature so quickly as well. After Cheng Yu had absorbed the efficacy of the Spiritual Origin Fruit, he would come back and force it to submit.
Cheng Yu walked to the front of the Spiritual Origin Tree and took a good look at it before plucking out a big fruit. When the flood dragon saw this, it quickly lifted up his head and howled in rage. However, the true dragon in the sky roared directly at it, causing it to tremble with fear once again.
Cheng Yu kept the fruit and was prepared to return. However, after walking for only a few steps, he turned around and looked at the flood dragon. He smiled and said, ”Xiao Jiao, since there are so many fruits growing on this tree, you wouldn’t mind if I take a few more would you?”
The flood dragon hissed twice to show its discontentment, but it did not show any reaction to Cheng Yu. However, when it saw Cheng Yu had plucked 10 fruits, the flood dragon ignored the true dragon above as it flew towards Cheng Yu to hit him away.
With 10 fruits in his hand, Cheng Yu felt that it should be more than sufficient, so he chuckled, ”Xiao Jiao, a few days later, I will be back to visit you.” After that, Cheng Yu boarded his flying sword and flew upwards.
Yao Na and Qiang Zi waited for a few hours at the top of the cliff. The sky was almost dark, but they still did not see any signs of Cheng Yu returning. They started to feel anxious. Even though Cheng Yu possessed lots of abilities, the place he dropped down was an abyss! What if he wasn’t careful and dropped all the way down?
“Uncle Qiang Zi, why is he not back yet? Could it be something bad happened to him?” Yao Na would occasionally walk over to the top of the cliff and look down. However, everything was covered by layers of cloud, so what could she possibly see? This made her feel more and more anxious as time passed.
“Xiao Na, don’t be worried. Mr. Cheng is so powerful, so there shouldn’t be a problem for him. Perhaps, he found a lot of rare and precious medical herbs down there. After all, no one had been to those places before. Since Mr. Cheng possess such mystical abilities, he will definitely be able to gather a lot of them. That’s why it is taking him such a long time.”
Although Qiang Zi had phrased it this way, his heart wasn’t agreeing with what he said. After all, they had been waiting for a few hours and those places Cheng Yu had gone to, no one had been there before. Would there be dangers? No one could possibly know.
“But it had already been so long. He should at least have reported back to us. This *sshole! He’s really so annoying!” Yao Na kicked at the big tree in front of her as she said furiously. It was as if the big tree was the *sshole Cheng Yu.
“Hehe! Am I not back?” Cheng Yu who had just returned managed to see Yao Na throwing a tantrum causing him to laugh.
When they heard Cheng Yu’s voice, they were surprised. Yao Na turned her head back and saw Cheng Yu was actually smiling at her. Immediately, she became enraged.
“Scoundrel! Why did it take you so long to return?! Don’t you know how much we worried for you?!” Yao Na kicked Cheng Yu twice ferociously.
Cheng Yu chuckled and did not care, ”There has never been a human habitat here before. Naturally, there were a lot of rare and precious medical herbs. After being too immersed in gathering all of them, so I lost track of time. Haha! I’m truly sorry about that.”
“Here! Uncle Qiang, this is for you,” Cheng Yu took out a ginseng and lingzhi that were about 100 years old and gave them to Qiang Zi.
This time, Cheng Yu managed to reap a lot of beneficial stuff, especially the Spiritual Origin Fruit. Although it can only be eaten once, it was still very beneficial to Cheng Yu if he wished to nurture talents. Furthermore, the Spiritual Origin Fruit was able to release a large amount of spiritual Qi. This was extremely good news to Cheng Yu.
Inside the storage ring, there were lots of other medical herbs. There was even two herbs that were older than a thousand years. However, it would have been a waste if he were to give it to Qiang Zi. Most mortals would need the medical herb to be around 100 years old. Of course, if they were to sell it, the price it would fetch would naturally be a sky high one.
“How is this appropriate? Mr. Cheng already granted us a huge favor. How can I possibly accept such an expensive gift from Mr. Cheng?” When Qiang Zi saw Cheng Yu take out two 100 year old medical herbs, he was startled. Although he was startled, Qiang Zi was not greedy, so he quickly rejected his offer.
“Uncle Qiang Zi, just keep it. To you, this may be very precious, but what I managed to gather was a lot more precious compared to what you are seeing now. This could also be counted as a form of gratitude,” Cheng Yu placed the two herbs straight into Qiang Zi’s basket.
“Mr. Cheng, this…” Qiang Zi tried to take the herbs out and return them to Cheng Yu, but he was stopped instead.
“Uncle Qiang Zi, stop being so calculative. He’s just someone who doesn’t wish to owe others a favor. For him to actually give you these two precious herbs, he must definitely have harvested quite a decent amount as well. You can just accept it. In any case, this kid is very rich, so he isn’t lacking in any of this,” This time, Yao Na voiced out her opinion.
“Hehe! How do you know that I don’t lack money?” Cheng Yu laughed.
“Of course. I am not a blind person!” Yao Na said with a confident look, as if she truly understood Cheng Yu very well.
“Then do you know what I lack?” Cheng Yu laughed once again.
“What?” Yao Na asked confusedly.
“I lack a wife! Why don’t you become my wife? Then I will not lack anything anymore!”
“Pei! Who wants to be your wife! It’s already late, so let’s descend from the mountains,” When Yao Na heard Cheng Yu’s words, her face reddened. Qiang Zi, who had been looking at them from the side, also started laughing. Yao Na turned around and walked down the mountain while she was blushing with shame.
“Snake!” Cheng Yu shouted. “Ah!” Yao Na shouted as she quickly ran towards Cheng Yu.
“Haha! Here! Let me carry you down the mountain. With you being like this, how are we going to descend from the mountains?” Cheng Yu turned around and squatted down with his back facing Yao Na.
Yao Na was filled with anger as she climbed onto Cheng Yu’s back. After that, she pinched Cheng Yu’s neck ruthlessly and wished to use this chance punish him for scaring her.
Cheng Yu did not wish to reveal too much in front of Qiang Zi. Otherwise, he would have long taken out his flying sword and flown down the mountain.
Once again, being carried by Cheng Yu, Yao Na’s heart felt a sense of security. She felt that as long as she was with him, her heart would definitely be at peace. Subconsciously, both her hands hugged tightly on Cheng Yu’s neck.

“What?! The Meng family also went to rely on Cheng Yu?! Why is it like this?! How did you guys handle this matter!” Inside the Kunlun discussion hall, Sect Master Xuan smacked the table as he yelled at Elder Yun and Elder Feng, who were below him, ferociously.
“I beg Sect Master for forgiveness. We did not expect the Meng Family to actually make such a choice. All these years, the Meng Family had always been pressured by the Lan Family. Now that there is such a good opportunity, the Meng family actually didn’t want it. They truly do not know how to appreciate someone else’s kindness,” Elder Yun clasped his fist together and said.
“How did you discuss it with them?” Sect Master Xuan was still very angry. Ever since he had heard the name “Cheng Yu,” whatever he wished to do was no longer smooth, causing him to feel extremely annoyed.
