15 Chapter 015 - Back to the Black Fores

It is night time and in front of the Black Forest, stood Ba Yue with her "luggage". Her luggage is really just a few sets of clothes, wrapped in a big piece of fabric and carried on her shoulder.

I'm back for more training though Ba Yue. I can't train in the mountains because I have to cultivate and train my element powers. Ever since my body has gotten healthy, I can use all the martial art skills that I have learned when I was Li Hei Yi so there's no need for me to specifically to train martial art.

It was here that I felt the energy and have awakened my wood element since then I have been cultivating and absorbing more energies. I was finally able to felt another energy not too long ago and it was the energy for fire this time. I felt like that the fire element was most likely awaken after the battle with the black boar beast since it's a fire element beast.

I was so happy! I have the same elements as when I was Li Hei Yi. With these 2 elements, I can definitely refine high-grade pills! And what's the best way to train my element power other than to come here and get in a battle with the spiritual element beast!

Ba Yue has refined pills before without any element powers, but that can only be done for low-grade pills. Doctors and pill refiner is different, just like a martial artist and an element user. An element user can also be a martial artist, but a martial artist might not be able to become an element user if they can't cultivate and absorb energies.

Same thing for doctors and pill refiners. Doctors know medicine and can treat patients and make herbal medical but they won't know how to refine pills. A pill refiner can refine pills and also learn medicine at the same time. The knowledge of the medicine known by pill refiner depends on the person. Most pill refiner will concentrate on learning herbs because they need to know what kind of herb goes with what and what it uses are.

Pill refiner does not have to be element users, because lots of low-grade pills can be refined with a fire starter that can be brought in the store. But higher grade pills can only be refined by element user because the fire starter brought in the store is not strong enough to refine those pills, so they need the fire element.

Fire element user can refine high-grade pills, but element user that have both fire and wood element has a better advantage than just fire element user. With the wood element, they can control plants and can communicate with the plants. That way they can easily understand the usage of the plant and herbs. Some special wood element user can even enhance the plant with their energy if they are strong enough.

It's dark and it's night time, Ba Yue will be staying in the forest for a while so has to find a place to stay. She remembered that there was a hidden cave inside a big baobab tree. On her way there, she didn't forget to hunt for her dinner. She had lunch but still haven't had dinner yet. She needs the food to convert into energy for her since she's going be training hard now. Well, that's what she's trying to convince herself!

"Dinner, Dinner, come out wherever you are!" said Ba Yue in a very low voice. She didn't want to scare her dinner away! And Just as she said that she has spotted a rabbit.

"Dame it, why do you have to be so cute! Said Ba Yue still in a low voice as she approached the rabbit. Even though you might look cute, but I can make you look yummy!

Soon, Ba Yue got her hands on her cute dinner and got to the cave that she wants to stay. She cleans up the cave a little and then starts a fire with her newly awaken fire element. The cave got warm up in no time and Ba Yue starts to make her cute dinner into a yummy dinner!

After dinner, Ba Yue wants to rest for the night and starts her training in the morning. As Ba Yue drifts to sleep inside the cave, she didn't notice a pair of blue eyes is watching her from afar.

"Litte Yue, it's not nice to try to run away from me, but I'll forgive you. " Said the man with the blue eyes in a very low voice to himself. He then turns around and disappears into the night, leaving two of his men behind to stay watch.

"Gao Sing, How long are we going have to stay here to feed the mosquitos?" asked one of the men.

"As long as that young miss is here, we'll be here''. Answered the other men whose name is Gao Sing.

'What's so special about girl anyway, I don't get why Master is paying so much attention to her. She looks so weak," said the other men.

"Junzhi, you just came back from your mission so you weren't here when Master and I met this young miss. We saw how she look before and we saw her hard work and progress. She's one very interesting lady that can give you many surprises," said Gao Sing.

That's right, Gao Sing was the guard that was with the masked man when Ba Yue was training here at the Black Forest before.

"I still don't get it, but I will stay here and watch as I was told by Master. But I won't get rid of the wild animal or spiritual beast for her. I also won't save her unless it's life threating, because if she can't even handle the danger of this tiny Black Forest, she has no place to be with our Master!"

"That's not up for you to decide, Junzhi. The only thing we can do is to listen to Master's order," said Gao Sing.

The next morning, Ba Yue woke up very early, she went to the lake to wash up and tries to catch fishes for breakfast. Ba Yue is very familiar with the Black Forest and to cook outdoors since she had trained here often before with her grandfather with she was still Li Hei Yi.

As Ba Yue happily eats the fishes she has just barbequed, the 2 men that were watching her since last night is speechless. She has caught and barbequed 6 fishes and those fishes were big!

The more they watched the more unbelieved they get. They weren't here when Ba Yue ate her dinner last night because their Master found her first and then called them over. Even Gao Sing never saw Ba Yue ate before because when Ba Yue used to train here at the Black Forest, she only comes a few hours every day and goes back home afterward. She had never eaten in front of them before until now.

As they watched her finished her last fish, their jaw drops to the ground. Let's not talk about the way she looks when she eats. But just as a young miss, able to fish 6 big fishes by herself is crazy enough. They are martial artists and element users too, so they do eat allot too. But they can probably eat about 4 fishes of that size and they are men.

Where does all that food good in her tiny body? Does their Master know how much she eats?

Somehow, Gao Sing thinks he knows why Ba Yue looks the way she looked before now. He knew she was the young miss of the Ba family and she doesn't train before. With the amount of food she eats, no wonder she looked like that before.

After finishing her breakfast, she starts her morning training. She made a list of things to do for her morning training, which is 3X as much as before when she was training here. While she was training, she didn't forget to look out for a spiritual beast and of course, her lunch too!

It's nighttime, Ba Yue finished all her training for the day and is back at the cave. She already ate her dinner and is now getting ready to cultivate in her meditate state to absorb energies around her to strengthen her element powers.

The two men that were watching her all day can finally rest a bit for now. If they were surprised by the amount of food she had eaten all day, they were actually even more surprised by the way she trains herself and the amount of hard work she had done. Somehow, they understand why she needs to eat that much now.

As an element user themselves, they understand that as a low-level element user, they have to eat a lot of food to absorb the energy from the food into their bodies. As the element user grew to become stronger and goes up in levels, they could consume less and less food because their bodies can absorb energies around them much easier.

Some high-level element users have even completely stopped consuming food because they want to absorb the purest energy around them. And also because they would sometimes cultivate in their meditate states for a long period of time, even years at a time.

Time passes by very quickly, it's almost 2 months since Ba Yue has been training here at the Black Forest. During that time of training, she had killed many wild animals and of course, they all have become her food.

She had also managed to encounter 3 spiritual element beast. For the first one she encountered, it was too strong for her to fight, so she sneaks away before the beast manages to spot her.

Her second encounter was with a Javan tiger beast with wind element. The level of this tiger beast is a little higher than Ba Yue, but she decided to take a chance and battles with the tiger beast. After hours of battling the tiger beast, she somehow manages to beat it with a combination of power, skills and of course her poison! She didn't want to use poison, because then she's won't be able to eat the beast afterward. Eating a spiritual element beast is 10X better than eating those wild animals since their body is full of their powers. But she had no choice because the tiger beast was too strong.

And finally, she had encountered an unknown beast if that one fluffy ball count as one. She doesn't know what kind of beast this one is since she never seen one of these before. He has a white fluffy fur coat with very pretty golden eyes and a hint of red color at the end of the tail. He's the size of a puppy, but she won't mistake him for one because she can sense a very fainted spiritual energy from him. It's not strong, but she did feel it.

She was going to be nice and walk away from it since she's all tired and injured from battling the tiger beast earlier. But that little fellow wouldn't leave her alone. He follows her around and wouldn't stay away from her. Finally, she gave up and pick up that cute little fellow and take him home with her as her pet.

It is not unusual to have a spiritual element beast as a pet if you have found a beast tamer to make a contact for you with the beast, or if the beast willingly agrees to the contact themselves. But most beasts would not willingly want to get in a contact with a human, so that's when a beast tamer comes along.

She's not worried about this little fellow since he willingly follows her. She names him Little Red because his tail has a hint of red at the end. Of course, our little fellow here isn't too happy with the name but he can't change his new Master's mind and have to just accept it.
