So you quickly asked Liang Dahu, "Which major region is this?"
Unfortunately, Dahu was just a commoner and had only heard of the Cangyun Sect by name.
The Nine Mystic Realm has several major regions, but he had no idea about such things.
Thus, you had to temporarily give up on determining which region you had arrived in.
In the days that followed, you stayed at Liang Dahu's home.
Of course, you didn't stay for free. Every few days, you would go out and bring back a large amount of game.
This made Dahu and his sister, Ye Xiaoqing, feel like they were the ones taking advantage of you.
In truth, you stayed here partly to help improve the lives of those who had shown you kindness.
The other reason was that you had been severely injured when Shen Wutian extracted a large amount of your blood and part of your soul.
At this moment, you could only exert the power of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Staying with Dahu and his sister at least ensured your safety and allowed you to slowly recover your strength.
Once you ventured far, you couldn't be sure what might happen!
After all, you were unfamiliar with this place.
You didn't know which areas might be dangerous.
You decided to wait until your strength recovered before making any plans. Your current power was too limited.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the fifty-fifth year, Dahu came limping back.
He knelt in front of you, begging you to save Ye Xiaoqing.
After years of living together, Dahu and his sister had long realized you were no ordinary person.
Now that Ye Xiaoqing was in danger, Dahu could only turn to you for help.
Seeing Dahu's appearance, you frowned slightly. You didn't want to get involved in too many matters; you just wanted to peacefully recover your cultivation.
But you still asked Dahu what had happened.
You thought that if it wasn't a big deal, you would help, considering you had lived in their home for so long.
Dahu didn't dare to hide anything and explained everything in detail.
It turned out that Ye Xiaoqing had been captured by some thugs.
Ten years passed in a flash.
In the sixty-third year, your cultivation had only recovered to the peak of Core Formation!
It could only be said that the damage Shen Wutian's Dark Arts inflicted on you was too severe.
You started to complain about the one-time talent Death Substitute Doll. It was supposed to save your life, so why did you still suffer such severe injuries? You wanted to give it a bad review.
During these ten years, Dahu's martial arts had also made progress, breaking through to the Condensing Core Realm, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Immortal Dao.
This was much faster than your initial progress.
This wasn't because Dahu's martial arts talent was better than yours.
It was because the area outside the Southern Regions was more suitable for cultivation, whether in the Immortal Dao or Martial Dao.
Even someone like Dahu, with mediocre martial arts talent, made decent progress with your help, eating demonic beast meat every day and using it to train.
After all, demonic beast meat was also a resource for martial arts cultivation.
This made you recall your earlier simulations, where you had to eat ordinary beast meat while training in the Southern Regions.
The rest had to be slowly honed using the unnamed techniques from the War God Art.
This made you realize the immense importance of cultivation resources, whether in the Martial Dao or Immortal Dao.
Of course, you also knew that Dahu's rapid progress was not just due to the demonic beast meat you hunted for him, but also his relentless training.
These years, you had seen with your own eyes how Dahu slept only two or three hours a day, spending the rest of his time training in martial arts.
One day, Dahu came to you and said he wanted to go to the Cangyun Sect to find Xiaoqing.
In fact, over the years, Ye Xiaoqing had sent letters home, and both you and Liang Dahu knew that she had been taken by a fairy from the Cangyun Sect.
You looked at Dahu and smiled, nodding without stopping him. Instead, you gave him dozens of Teleportation Jade Plates for his protection.
These Teleportation Jade Plates were made by you in reality and had never been used. Now, you gave almost half of them to Dahu.
Of course, you modified the Teleportation Jade Plates to activate with martial energy.
Dahu left, and the slightly shabby wooden hut was left with only you, the outsider.
Time flowed like water, and before you knew it, decades had passed.
In the seventy-ninth year, you finally regained the strength of the early Spirit Transformation stage.
That same year, you turned one hundred years old, and your Late Bloomer talent activated, doubling your cultivation speed.
