The cold wind howled.

The post-rain wind took away the small amount of warmth, and the temperature dropped several degrees.

Fortunately, everyone in the group was a Martial Artist, with strong resistance to the cold.

Piles of campfires flickered in the cold wind, emitting strands of warmth.

When Lin Zheyu returned, the night was already quite late, and some had already fallen asleep.

In the wilderness, unlike in cities, safety is not guaranteed and various dangers lurk; someone needs to keep watch at night, rotating to allocate sleep time.

Before getting familiar with Liang Yunhui and her daughter, Xiaohei mainly kept watch at night, while Lin Zheyu meditated and rested, allocating some attention to the surroundings.

After getting acquainted with Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan, Xiaohei and Liang Yuhan took turns keeping watch, while Lin Zheyu meditated and rested, allocating some attention to the surroundings.

However, in most cases, Xiaohei would stay up all night on watch, while Liang Yuhan would sleep at midnight.

The little guy found traveling during the day boring and slept the whole way, leaving him too energetic to sleep at night.

If Lin Zheyu hadn't restrained him, he might have dashed into the forest to frolic and play.

Out of boredom, Xiaohei could roast meat all night, waking up the next day with a bulging stomach, comfortably sleeping in the carriage.

Crackle~~

The campfire burned, the wet firewood exploded from the flames' baking, echoing loudly in the silent night.

Tweet tweet——

Xiaohei excitedly roasted meat, which sizzled with oil under the campfire's heat.

Liang Yunhui also held a twig, skewering a piece of raw meat to help Xiaohei roast, occasionally sprinkling cumin and chili powder onto the meat she and Xiaohei were grilling.

Lin Zheyu sat cross-legged, practicing the Turtle Breath Skill in conjunction with the Soul Secret Skill from the Seven Evils Ghost Canon, silently reciting the Purifying Heart Spell in his heart.

Turtle Breath Skill also has a certain restorative effect on the spirit, but it is not as pronounced as the Soul Secret Skill.

"Mr. Zhao, the beast meat is prepared; do you need me to help you roast it?"

About twenty minutes later, Liang Yunhui's crisp and tender voice sounded beside his ear.

Lin Zheyu opened his eyes, filled with an exhaustion that even Liang Yunhui could notice.

"That would be great, thank you."

Lin Zheyu smiled and said.

"It's no trouble, Mr. Zhao, please wait; I'll help you roast the meat now." Liang Yunhui said happily.

The little girl loved to smile, and it seemed that no matter what she did, she was extremely cheerful.

Being around her, one would be infected by her joy, feeling very comfortable.

"Are you okay?"

Unusually, the usually taciturn Liang Yuhan came over, asking in a somewhat indifferent tone.

She too noticed something was amiss with Lin Zheyu.

Although Lin Zheyu typically showed fatigue after returning from trips at intervals, today's fatigue was more pronounced, seeming to emanate from the soul.

Clearly, something was wrong.

"I'm fine, just need some rest."

Lin Zheyu tugged at the corners of his mouth, forcing a somewhat strained smile.

He stood up, sat by the campfire, closed his eyes, and practiced the Soul Secret Skill and Turtle Breath Skill.

Liang Yuhan didn't ask further, grasping her longsword tightly, and stood alertly by his side.

Sigh~

Sigh sigh~~

Lin Zheyu's chest rose and fell as he practiced the Turtle Breath Skill, his breathing long and distant.

After a long time, in Liang Yunhui's crisp and adorable voice, he opened his eyes once again.

The severe headache eased a bit.

"Mr. Zhao, your meat is done roasting, would you like to eat now?" Liang Yunhui asked softly.

"Now, please, thank you, Yunhui."

Lin Zheyu took the roasted meat and said with a smile.

"You're welcome."

Liang Yunhui said happily, revealing two adorable dimples on either side of her cheeks.

Eating the meat roasted by Liang Yunhui, Lin Zheyu silently assessed his current state.

Although the severe headache had alleviated significantly, it remained quite serious, as if a hammer continued to pound against his skull.

This time, using Source Power to enhance the Blood Boiling Secret Skill drained his spirit more than he imagined, with his spirit severely overdrawn.

[Heavenly Dao Rewards the Diligent]

Name: Lin Zheyu

Source Power: 22

Skills:

Gale Slash (Perfection)

Blood Boiling Secret Skill (Perfection)

Golden Swan Skill (Tenth Layer 100%)

Hundred Refinements Treasure Canon (Third Layer 100%)

Turtle Breath Skill (Third Layer 100%)

He looked at the data in his consciousness; the Blood Boiling Secret Skill had been advanced to the state of Perfection.

However, given Lin Zheyu's current mental state, he dared not use it again.

His physique recovered to the peak, but his spirit was overdrawn and would take some time to recover to its peak.

"In the future, when using Source Power to enhance cultivation techniques, I must be more cautious, especially with techniques like the Blood Boiling Secret Skill, which greatly drain the spirit."

Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

This time, he was somewhat reckless.

Failing to consider thoroughly led to severe mental exhaustion.

It had been a long time since he let himself be in such a passive state.

"Mr. Zhao, I'll protect you tonight!"

Liang Yunhui approached, suddenly turning serious, and patting her chest as she said.

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but smile at this.

"No need. You can't even defeat Xiaohei; just get a good night's sleep." Lin Zheyu replied with a grin.

He turned his gaze to Liang Yuhan.

Even while eating roasted meat, Liang Yuhan's right hand gripped the sword hilt, vigilantly attentive to the surroundings.

"Mrs. Liang, if anything unexpected happens, just ensure your own safety; don't worry about me." Lin Zheyu said.

In the wilderness, dangers abound.

Lin Zheyu dared to push his limits and acquire Source Power precisely because he had his safeguards.

After every training session, he would drink high-concentration medicinal soup, slowly absorbing and recovering.

If danger arises, enhancing cultivation techniques that don't heavily deplete Essence, Qi, and Spirit using Source Power can instantaneously restore the body to its peak under ample medicinal replenishment.
