Additionally, he felt that since Lin Yifan loved his woman so much, he probably wouldn't choose his martial sister after all, which was a good thing, as it meant no worries for the future.

"I simply did what I should have done, there is nothing to admire," Lin Yifan said modestly.

"Anyway, I admire what you did," Li Dafeng didn't want to say much more.

After resting, they continued on their way.

Seven days later at noon, as usual, the tired Lin Yifan and his three companions rested in a tree.

They took out the wild fruits they had picked and stored in their backpacks and swallowed them as if they were lunch.

During those days, they sustained themselves with the wild game from the forest, which included both meat and vegetables, so they were far from being starved and emaciated.

After eating a fruit, Lin Yifan sighed and said, "Ah! Boundless forest, thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, where are you really hidden?"

The days of searching had left him without any hope; the forest was simply too big, and looking for a medicinal herb here was like looking for a needle in the ocean, an impossible task.

With frustration and despair, Lin Yifan angrily threw the fruit pit down from the tree.

Perhaps his yearning for the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng had moved the heavens, giving him a chance to meet it.

So the next moment, a scream came up from below the tree.

"Ah! Who's the bastard that threw the pit?" a childish voice called out.

Hearing this voice, the exhausted Lin Yifan and his three companions instantly became alert; then they looked down the tree to see who was speaking.

However, after scanning the area below the tree, they saw no sign of any human being.

"Strange! There was clearly someone speaking just now. Why did they suddenly disappear?" Lin Yifan wondered.

"Could it be that we've seen a ghost?" Lin Yanping asked somewhat fearfully.

Even though it was broad daylight, the dense forest still had some dark areas, and the surrounding silence combined with an ominous atmosphere made it chilling.

"Ghosts only appear at night, and besides, there are no ghosts in this world, so don't scare yourself," Lin Yifan replied.

"Then how do you explain what just happened?" Lin Yanping asked curiously.

"We might have heard wrong," Lin Yifan answered.

"Could it be we're so tired that we're hallucinating?" Lin Yanping found it somewhat inconceivable.

If that were true, then there might be hidden dangers to their health.

"When people are weak, they often experience hallucinations. Otherwise how would expressions like 'a mirage' and 'fool's paradise' have come about?" Lin Yifan responded.

"Then we should rest more and eat more so as not to wear ourselves out," after speaking, Lin Yanping quickly finished the fruit in her hand, threw the pit down carelessly, then took out another fruit to eat, afraid of starving to death.

However, when she took out the second fruit, the same childish voice came from below the tree.

"Damn it! You dead monkey! Can you stop throwing pits down?"

"Hm?" This time, everyone heard it loud and clear; this was definitely not a hallucination, there had to be something down there.

Thus, they immediately leaned out to look down.

After looking for a while, they still didn't see any signs of human presence.

"How strange, could we really have encountered a ghost?" Lin Yifan said, puzzled, before suggesting, "Let's throw the wild fruits in our hands down and see exactly what kind of ghostly thing is talking."

Li Dafeng and the others thought this was a good idea, so they all tossed the fruits and pits they were holding.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fruits and pits fell like meteors from the sky, continuously crashing down.

The ancient Blood Ginseng felt it shouldn't stay here any longer, so it immediately emerged from the ground and dashed away.

Watching this scene, Lin Yifan exclaimed, "The ancient Blood Ginseng!"

He then leapt down first, completely disregarding whether he was able to use Qinggong or how high the trees were.

"Hey! Be careful!" Lin Yanping was extremely nervous, so she used her Qinggong and flew down, catching Lin Yifan as he rapidly fell.

On the other side, Li Dafeng and Li Xiaofeng followed suit.

The ancient Blood Ginseng had finally appeared; they absolutely couldn't miss this opportunity.

"Are you out of your mind? Jumping from such a height?" After safely delivering Lin Yifan to the ground, Lin Yanping scolded him.

"The ancient Blood Ginseng is more important than my life; I don't care." Having said this, Lin Yifan chased after it without looking back, leaving the deeply disheartened Lin Yanping behind.

Lin Yanping felt an inexplicable sadness, sensing she was in unrequited love, which was very painful.

After a moment's stupor, she also chased after them.

Seeing Lin Yanping's sad and lost demeanor, Li Dafeng felt that his junior sister had fallen for Lin Yifan, who had a girlfriend, which made him very angry; he couldn't believe that the brother-sister bond he had shared with Lin Yanping for over a decade couldn't withstand a mere two months of her time with Lin Yifan.

"Junior sister! Junior sister! You know there's no outcome, so why do you still harbor feelings?" Li Dafeng was quite helpless.

"Big brother! Don't just stand there! Hurry up and chase the ancient Blood Ginseng! Don't let it get away," Li Xiaofeng called from ahead before quickly catching up.

Li Dafeng snapped back to reality and chased after them as well.

Sensing humans chasing after it, the ancient Blood Ginseng immediately burrowed into the dense shrubs, making a swift escape.

If it were just a matter of speed, it most certainly couldn't outrun these humans; therefore, it had to rely on the wild and overgrown shrubs to evade their pursuit.

Seeing the ancient Blood Ginseng dash into the shrubs, Lin Yifan used his Cultivation Power to protect himself and, like a golden bull, charged into the thick of the shrubs after the ancient Blood Ginseng.

In the shrubbery, some weeds and bushes had sharp thorns that would surely leave anyone unprotected by Cultivation Power covered in scratches.

Watching this, Lin Yanping, who was closely following behind, was truly both worried and scared.

"Why are you pushing yourself so hard? Is her life really more precious than yours?" Lin Yanping murmured softly to herself, quite perplexed.

The way Lin Yifan was acting made her feel that he loved his girlfriend too much; at the same time, it made her desperately crave that kind of selfless love.

Seeing that even the overgrown shrubs couldn't stop the pursuit of these humans, the ancient Blood Ginseng had to look for help to stop them.

So, it quickly fled toward the territory of the Flying Continent Lions, seeking their assistance.

Amongst the red roots and green grass, the small figure wove through various weed-choked shrubs at a thief's pace.

Even though Lin Yifan was a Cultivator with great Cultivation Power, he still couldn't catch up to the small figure. The reason was simple; the dense shrubbery of the forest impeded his steps, making it difficult for him to move.

After chasing for a while, they suddenly entered the territory of the Flying Continent Lions; at that moment, fierce Flying Continent Lions started attacking them.
