Chapter 145: Primordial Era World
After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Zhao wiped the corner of her greasy mouth as she said to Fike.
“Fike, you should also be an immortal cultivator, right? Which sect are you from? Did you descend the mountain as well to gain experience?”
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was asking about him, Fike took a while to search for a reply.
“I don’t have a sect, so I guess I can be considered a wanderer cultivator!”
Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully before she continued.
“Although I don’t know the original god that you mentioned just now, it sounds like a very powerful character!”
Fike nodded in agreement.
“The original god is the strongest character in this world, so I’m looking for him to try and learn a move or two!
“Xiao Zhao, is there anything else you can tell me about this place?”
Fike asked, showing his interest.
Xiao Zhao thought for a moment.
“This current world is composed of three major forces. They are the Donta tribe in the north, the Xi Ling tribe in the south, and the Tutu tribe in the west.
“In the east, there are no forces from any of the three tribes at all, because the East Immortal Sect is established there! Although these tribes may be somewhat powerful, they are not strong enough to contend with immortal cultivators!”
Fike nodded after hearing this.
“I see!”
“We are now at the border of the Donta tribe. The Gufa town we’re headed to is located at the border between the Xi Ling tribe and the Tutu tribe.”
Hearing this, Fike asked.
“Then, Xiao Zhao, why are you going to the town?”
“I heard from my master that Gufa town has recently excavated a huge stone tablet, which contains insurmountable magic power! If they were to immerse themselves in that magical field for a while, even the constitution of ordinary people will change.
“It could grow magic power in their bodies!”
“Stone tablet…”
Fike muttered to himself.
“The main purpose of my trip down the mountain, in addition to training, was to head to Gufa town to investigate this matter as well.
“Oh right! Fike, there’s something I need to tell you!”
Fike raised his head to turn to the girl, shooting her an inquisitive look.
“What is it?”
Xiao Zhao looked at Fike with a grave expression.
“Your power is very strong indeed. Your current strength could be said to rival even those of the elders in our East Immortal sect. Therefore, I’d recommend you try to keep a low profile in the future.
“If your strength is discovered by the leaders of the three tribes, it would definitely lead to battles!”
Fike nodded calmly at her caution.
“Don’t worry! Even if you didn’t say that, I wasn’t planning on simply putting my abilities on full display in front of ordinary people!
“In any case, let’s rest for now, and we can wait until tomorrow morning before setting off! What do you think?”
Fike suggested.
Xiao Zhao nodded before asking.
“Where will you sleep tonight?”
At this time, Xiao Zhao was sitting on Fike’s simple handmade bed. Fike looked awkwardly at his own bed, then to Xiao Zhao, who was cradling her sprained ankle.
“Ah, forget it. I’ll sleep on the ground for the night!”
Seeing him care so much about her, Xiao Zhao’s face blushed slightly red as she thanked him.
“Thank you, Fike!”
After that, Xiao Zhao lay down peacefully.
Seeing that the girl had already fallen asleep, Fike turned around helplessly before sitting cross-legged to cultivate.
…
It was another night of hard work, and Fike had a hard time surviving.
As the first rays of sunlight shone into the cave early in the morning, the heavy rain outside had already ended.
The entire forest was filled with the sound of dripping dew.
Fike tiptoed to Xiao Zhao’s side to wake her up.
“Xiao Zhao! Xiao Zhao! It’s morning! Quick, get up!”
Xiao Zhao rubbed her sleepy eyes as she slowly opened them.
Looking closely at the girl in front of him, Fike was suddenly hit with a sense of familiarity, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen this familiar face before.
Seeing Fike staring at her in a daze, Xiao Zhao said in embarrassment.
“Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?”
Hearing her words, Fike snapped back to his senses and tried to explain himself.
“Ah! I’m sorry, I just felt that you looked like an acquaintance, but I can’t remember who it is at the moment…”
As he spoke, he showed her a medicinal pill in his palm.
“This is something I refined last night. It may help alleviate the pain on your feet.”
Xiao Zhao stared at it in slight disbelief.
“You can also refine medicine?”
Looking back at her confused, innocent face, Fike asked.
“What’s wrong? Is that so strange?”
“Do you know how rare alchemists are? Here, even if you accidentally catch a cold, it’s very easy to die!”
Fike squeezed out an awkward smile with difficulty after hearing this, and said perfunctorily.
“Is that so… Hahahaha…”
Xiao Zhao took Fike’s pill and swallowed it.
Almost at the instant she did, her sprained foot emitted a golden light as all her pain from before disappeared.
Xiao Zhao stood up, and gawked in surprise.
“What kind of medicine is this? How could I have recovered so quickly?”
Fike smiled and tried to brush it off.
“It’s just a small trick, it’s not worth mentioning!”
Seeing Fike being so modest, Xiao Zhao continued to elaborate.
“I’ve seen medicinal pills refined by the best alchemist of Our East Immortal Sect, but even those are completely incomparable to yours!
“Other than ones that heal bone injuries, do you know how to refine any other medicines?”
Fike nodded, but did not speak further.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao’s eyes lit up as she took the initiative to grab Fike’s hands excitedly.
“After we leave Gufa town, could I trouble you to make a trip to the East Immortal Sect with me?”
Fike asked, puzzled.
“Why? If you want other pills, I could just give them to you directly! Why bother?”
Xiao Zhao explained as she gazed back at his dumbfounded face.
“The first elder of our East Immortal Sect was severely injured in a battle against the Donta tribe. He still hasn’t fully recovered yet.”
“But I still have to find the original god. I’m afraid…”
Xiao Zhao suddenly protested loudly.
“The second elder of our East Immortal Sect knows everything. When you go back with me, we can ask him. Maybe he’ll give you some clues about the original god!”
When Fike heard this, his mood immediately improved.
Ever since he had been transported 3,000 years back to the primordial era by Atlas’ Time Mirror, he had been at a perpetual loss, with no leads.
After hearing Xiao Zhao’s offer, Fike immediately felt as if he had finally gotten one step closer to finding the original god.
“Alright! Then I’ll agree to it!”
