Before heading off to the Scarlet Mist, Tolly planned to get himself some food.

‘Perhaps I’ll soon have a big fight tonight, so I have to be armed to my teeth. No matter what will happen later, it’s always right to have enough food around. If I have to die tonight, I’ll have to die with a filled stomach.’ Tolly told himself.

Hence, he walked towards a stall where he could buy some food for himself. The owner of the stall was a young woman in her forties with a freckled face and two pigtails. She looked like the kind of woman whose youth’s proud livery had already turned into tottered weeds of small worth. She was sitting behind her stall, eating Red Rose.

‘What’s going on? Red Rose again? Red is the color of blood. Does it forebode that my trip tonight might be a bad one?’

While Tolly was thinking, the woman gawked at him without saying anything. The silence reigned between them for a short while. Finally, the woman asked,

“How can I help you, young man?”

“Hello, I’d like some fo

    It was getting darker and the Osher grove was filled with the more blood-colored mist. However, Tolly was not plunged into darkness completely, for a reddish moon, almost as big as the sun, crept into the sky slowly, accompanied by two little moons on each side of it. The big moon in the center, like a noble lady with four maids beside her, was drop-dead gorgeous but mysteriously strange. A cold breeze blew through, sending shivers down his spine. Except for the whispers of the trees, the only sound that could be heard at the moment was coming from their footsteps. The big moon glowed on the top of the trees, turning them reddish, making the grove more eerie and scary. It was not until that time that Tolly realized why this grove was also called the Scarlet Mist. ‘If these smugglers are not greedy, they must be all in big trouble with their lives. Otherwise, no one would be willing to step into such a dangerous place.’ Tolly thought to himself. Casting a glance at these smugglers b

    Tolly hummed his little soft tune happily, thinking he would soon be able to catch something he wanted to finish collecting the herbs, but he did not notice that the old man on the same tree was gaping at him in disbelief. “Damn it! What are you doing here?” the old man asked. “Nothing. I’m singing, you know. The song is called ‘Health’. I bet you’ve never heard of it before. I learned it when I was back on another planet.” Tolly began to sing again, “Circle three times left; circle three times right. I’ll shake my head and I’ll move my hips. Please come together for exercise…” “Are you nuts? Stop singing that silly song! I’ve never seen such a stupid guy like you before. Your bait has already gone, but you haven’t even noticed it yet. What’s the point of your coming here?” the old man said angrily in a husky voice. The old man was telling him the truth. Tolly had been busy with his singing that he had ignored the black leaf worm pierced through on the hook had gone. ‘That’s funny

    Tolly made a face and stuck out his furred tongue, showing that he was fully amazed by the difficulties they had in their cultivation.But Tolly also felt he was lucky, for he had always been able to eat like a horse, which might help with his cultivation according to Michael. And above all, he had Universe Golden Cauldron to his advantage.‘As the old saying goes, if you want to do an excellent job, you must get your tools improved first. When it comes to my cultivation now, the keyword is upgrading. If I can upgrade to a higher level, I’ll best them as easy as pie.’ Tolly thought to himself, curving his lips up to a confident smile,‘Of course, at the moment, I’ll have to get those two important herbs to help me get rid of the Rotten Throat Wind.’Time was cracking.Most of them, one by one, had all got something for their hunting except for Tolly and the one-eyed man. They decided to call it a day and some of them even took Red Rose out of nowhere and started eating them while chat

    Soon, half of the Fried White Duck was gone, and surprisingly, Tolly saw from the screen that his vital energy went from 174 to 194 points. How could it be like that? He remembered that a White Duck only contained 30 points of vital energy. Not thinking too much, he had another piece of the Fried White Duck. He saw that his vital energy turned to 200 points. He did not know that while he was eating, not only could he absorb the vital energy from the food itself, but also the vital energy that escaped into the air if he could get himself into an extremely relaxed state. Then he stood up and threw the rest of the Fried White Duck onto the ground below the Magic Carpet. He decided to wait for what might happen next quietly and patiently. As a part of his plan, he hoped that it would work. In the distance, the moon seemed to grow brighter. It was quite like a beautiful and graceful lady, whose lips curved up into a happy smile, admiring the Tolly’s smarts high above in the sky. Stan

    About five or six minutes later, the noises coming from the carpet finally faded away. It seemed that the animals on the carpet had already jumped back onto the ground.Tolly asked his shield to have an eyehole in each of the four directions so that he could have a thorough view of the carpet.After confirming there were no dangerous creatures on the carpet, only then did Tolly dare to sneak out of the box to the carpet.“I want to get out!” He said to his shield.“All right, my master, I’ll get a door in the box for you.”The same AI voice rang out. Suddenly, a door appeared in front of Tolly. Tolly pushed it gently and walked out of the box.When on the carpet, he found it was a big mess. Several brown squirrels and grey hares had been sliced off into small pieces, their flesh going almost everywhere. And there was even a Sword Swan that had been cut in halves.On top of that, the carpet was also covered with a lot of brownish-red rocks, all thrown by Needle Scorpions obviously, bec

    Tolly removed the lid from the wok gradually.He then visualized the picture of an embroidery needle in his mind again, which soon made his lid-like Stone Turtle Shield turn into a tiny needle. Once again, Tolly put it in his ear.After that, his eyes fell on the nine shiny golden pellets swirling around in the wok. Needless to say, they were the Golden Throat Pills that he had just made to counteract the poison of the Rotten Throat Wind.‘Well, finally!” Tolly exclaimed, very excited.Without any further delay, Tolly immediately picked up three of the pills and threw them into his mouth. He had no idea whether three pills were enough or not to detoxify the poison in his body. It was just that he had always been fond of the number three.Back on Earth, he had used to read a book called ‘All About Taoism”, which had been written by a famous oriental philosopher named Lao Tzu. In the book, it said:Tao gave birth to the One; the One gave birth successively to Two things, three things, u

    “How can the Golden Dragon Gang be compared to us?” the old man said, annoyed,“They are just a bunch of bandits who only know how to collect protection money everywhere. Everyone hates them.”“Indeed!” Tolly replied.“We Nine Voice Sect are quite different. We all bank on ourselves by looking for niche markets to make profits. Though some of our businesses might be illegal, we never do anything bad to harm other people.“Really?” Tolly said in disbelief.“Yeah. Our mission is to work for the well-being of our families and friends. As for our vision, we strive to be the best smugglers in the world of Goldearth…”“Okay, okay, I get it,” Tolly cut in on him, “Do you need me to be your helper?”“No, you don’t need to do anything. We’re pros, you know.”With that, Old Peter pulled out what looked like a glow stick.‘It must be used to send signals.” Tolly thought.Sure enough, Tolly saw the old man press a small button on it gently. In a minute, something shiny was flicked into the air, a

    “Three low-grade feather coins!”“I can take it for four.”“Seven.”“Nine.”“Nine! Is there anyone else who can bid higher? Okay, one…two…gone!”The auction lasted for about an hour and went very well. Michael and his men sold all the animals and the people who participated in it were all excited, for they thought they had picked up some bargains by chance.Michael and his men were also excited because the animals they had sold provided them with a total of over three hundred low-grade feather coins.Overjoyed, Michael and Old Peter decided to give half of them to Tolly.“Here you go! Thank you for your gift. We’re honored to have had this great opportunity to do the job for you.” the old man said to Tolly gladly.“You’re welcome.”Tolly was happy, too. However, he didn’t take half of the money. He added,“I should thank YOU. I really appreciate your help. Without your help, I would have never been able to sell all of these animals in such a short time.”“Whatever you say, but we’ve b

    Tolly saw the terror in Sally’s eyes. He knew he had to do something to protect them from the possible harm.Though there was no method to deal with the powerful attacks from Abu, who was employing his hellfire sword—himself with fire all over, Tolly knew that all he could do now was to strengthen his Upside-down Five-element formation.Without any hesitation, he took quite a few Red Spirit Stones from his Infinite Space Pack as quickly as possible and then in a flash they were thrown straight at his formation.In a minute, his formation was glowing brighter with red light.Sally stared at it and murmured with her widened eyes, “It’s beautiful. Is it going to protect us like a solid ball-like shield?”“I don’t know, Sally,” Tolly replied, keeping hurling more Red Spirit Stone at his formation. “Yet I know my Red Spirit Stone will help strengthen our formation.”“I’ll break it into pieces!” suddenly said Abu, who leapt high up into the sky like a fire ball and came down onto the format

    Sally was right—before Tolly was able to jump into his formation, Tolly soon found himself caught in the rain of fire swords coming from Abu, taking a direct hit. Apparently, the move named Blood Soul Slash was truly powerful since the protective luminous ball formed by Everbright Pearl was quickly shattered like glass. Before Everbright Pearl was able to form a new protective ball, those swords continued to try to land on Tolly’s body. Luckily, Tolly whisked himself quickly enough to his formation just in the nick of time, sparing him from harm. Finally, all Abu’s powerful swords landed on the surface of Tolly’s Upside-down Five-element formation, which was strong enough to hold the assaults of the swords for the time being. “Damn it,” seethed Abu, “that was so close. You are lucky, little punk!” Tolly turned around, staring at Abu with a smile, “If there’s one thing I’m known for, it must be my ability to get good luck. Now, it looks like your so-called Blood Soul Flash cannot pe

    When the ten swords of various shapes and colors went flying toward Tolly from different directions, Tolly did not worry about it at all. he knew the powerful Everbright Pearl that wrapped around him was going to protect him. Sure enough, when the sharp swords from Abut landed on the light ball formed by the Everbright Pearl one by one, they just could not penetrate it. 'I've heard Everbright Pearl is known for its defensive ability, but I never expected that it would be so powerful, ' thought Abu, who stared at Tolly furiously. "Why are you keeping gazing at me? " Tolly mocked, "You think I'm the most handsome guy in this world, huh? ” "Nonsense!" fumed Abu, who had never failed to kill anyone with his invincible swordsmanship. This time, he did not want to blow it, either even though his rival had the protection of the fantastic pearl. "Be careful, Abu," a rough voice came from the ship of death. "I've heard Everbright Pearl has the most powerful defensive ability in this world

    Sally waited for her demise in despair. Yet, that sharp drill did not land on her body. Instead, suddenly, she heard a cry from Ana.Sally immediately opened her eyes to find out what was going on. To her surprise, she saw Tolly was standing in front of her. It turned out that Tolly had acted on time, throwing a heavy punch at Ana, who was sent far away from Sally and now landed hard on the ground.“I won’t allow anyone to bully my dear Sally,” seethed Tolly, who turned around and gave Sally a smile. “Are you Okay, Sally?”“Tolly, I’m all right. I just thought I couldn’t see you anymore!” replied Sally, whose eyes suddenly were filled with tears. She was so glad that she was still alive.Tolly immediately wiped the tears streaming down her face and reassured, “Don’t worry, Sally. I promise when I’m beside you, no one could hurt you.”“Bastard! You’ve finally gotten out of your little shell and face my punishment,” fumed Ana, who started to send toxic gas through her tentacles again.

    “If you don’t want me to pinch you, now work on the antidotes.” Sally shot him a hard glare, arching her eyebrow. “See, time slips like water. Come on!” “Okay. I’ll embark on my journey to the higher level of my cultivation,” replied Tolly with a wide grin. “Don’t worry, I’ll make it.” Totally ignoring the wicked Ana outside his formation, Tolly sat down on the ground and started to mediate cross-legged, squeezing his eyes shut. “What are you doing, little punk? Do you think I run out of my means to attack you? You’re so naïve. I’ll figure out my way to fight against you soon,” shouted Ana, waving her tentacles wildly. “By the way, your friends only get forty-five minutes to live. I can’t wait to see them die before me.” “Shut up, hag!” shouted Sally, who stared at Ana furiously inside the formation. “What did you call me?” Ana went crazy, waving her long tentacles faster. If possible, she would like to tear Sally into pieces. The word ‘hag’ was simply more than she could bear.

    “Ouch! Stop! I promise I’ll take out the book now!” begged Tolly with a smile. “All right, do that now, Tolly!” Sally smiled behind her hand, “Then I’ll let go your ear!” “There’s no need for you to treat me like this, Sally. I was just kidding!” In a fraction of a second, Tolly mumbled something in his mouth. And suddenly, a book suddenly flew out of his Infinite Space pack and started spinning itself unceasingly. After that, the book got bigger until it was as large as a normal book in the modern society. “Catch it!” said Tolly to Sally, “I’m sure we can find a way to make antidotes that can help David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion.” Sally leaped into the air and held it tight in her hand. When she was back to the ground, she glanced at the cover of the book where three big words greeted her eyes warmly: Core Pot Sutra. “Core Pot Sutra!” Sally blurted out in surprise, staring at the book unblinkingly. “It looks like you’ve heard about this book before!” said Tolly while star

    Sighting that David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion would soon be wrapped up and dragged away by those tentacles around their bodies, Tolly gathered some of his vital energy to his hands. In an instant, two balls of fire appeared on his hands. Without any hesitation, he immediately pushed them toward Ana. “Pheonix Strike!” shouted Tolly. Those two torrents of fire turned into two flying phoenixes, which opened their mouths and tried to devour Ana. However, Ana was not scared. She just let them pass over her. Instantly, the fire was all over her. Yet, it could not hurt her whatsoever. “Useless fire!” sneered Ana, but her tentacles were going back a little because of the fire from Tolly. From every passing moment, Tolly quickly initiated his Upside-down Five-element Formation. He knew it was a good way to protect David Dragon and the Five-headed Lion from any further deadly harm from Ana. “The guide of my powerful runic formation, come on, try to protect all of us!” said Tolly calm

    “Stop calling me the ugliest beauty, bastard!” bellowed Ana, her big ,thick tentacle raising higher, ready to attack its enemies at any time.She stopped scratching her head. Although having no idea which lion she should attack, she decided to attack the one right in front of her first.However, as her diamond-hard tentacle landed on it, she felt it was just like landing on nothing. In a minute, Ana realized that most of the lions shown before her was not real ones.“Damn it!” she fumed with indignation. “You’re a coward! Why are you playing such a trick? I know most of the lions before are just like your shadows.”Suddenly, all the lions before her raised their heads and roared once more. The roaring was so loud that it would crack the sky above their heads.Obviously, the Five-headed Lion launched a new round of roaring attacks. Presently, Ana felt her stomach was churning and she felt like puking. She tried to control herself, but finally she lost control and spat another mouthfu

    Chapter 151 A Great Helper

    In a few seconds, a creature with five headed leaped out of Tolly’s Infinite Space Pack. The creature turned out to be the Five-headed Lion, the spiritual beast that had used to belong to Mary, who had died a short while before. “Let me fight against the creature before you, Tolly,” said the Five-headed Lion in a rough voice. With that, it tilted its five heads up to the sky and roared, whose thunderous roars shocked Ana so much that she instinctively took a few paces back. She sized up the creature with five lions before her and then fumed, “Who are you? How could you call me a creature? Hey, I’m a human, and my name is Ana!” Yet, the Five-headed Lion roared into the sky again as if it had been laughing at Ana. “Human? You should look at yourself in the mirror. With tentacles crawling out of your belly, how could you call yourself a human? Even if you are a human, you are the ugliest one I’ve ever seen!” The same rough voice came from the five-headed Lion.
