Starting with the awakened Poison God: I choose the Master Thief.

"Um...do you need my help? If you can't find it, I can find someone to help you," Chu Ci asked.

It's not far from Olin City. You can ask a shady merchant for help, or if all else fails, you can buy information from the Thieves' Tavern. You should know that there are countless eyes watching the surrounding area all over this continent.

Although rumors of the emergence of alien races like the Saint Forest Clan are not widespread, there are certainly some rumors circulating. There are no secrets in this world.

"Hehe, no need for that. You know, the Holy Forest Clan was created by the Holy Tree, which is my true form, using the most concentrated life essence. I can sense the existence of each of them. As for Yali's location, I actually found it a long time ago. That guy isn't in any danger."

"However, outside that space, I vaguely sensed an aura that was not much weaker than mine. Just to be on the safe side, I didn't go in yet and kept trying to figure something out from outside, but I didn't make any progress. Just now, I sensed your aura through that wreath, so I came over first," Beresa said, waving her hand.

A wreath? She must be referring to that piece of equipment. Well, the branches used to weave the flowers are part of Bellesa's true form, so it's not wrong that she can sense it.

But that aura... could the other party also be a demigod? This sounds like things are getting a bit troublesome.

"Alright, I can tell. You're still in trouble, aren't you? Let me help you." Chu Ci patted his chest and said.

He couldn't solve the problem of the demigod, but that didn't mean he couldn't help Bereza scout ahead. Besides, he still had a rule avatar of Chief Mayne, which he was going to use anyway, so he could use it if necessary.

"Hehe, I knew you would help." Beresa chuckled mischievously.

"Alright, since you've agreed, I won't say any more. It's about time these two woke up."

She turned to look at Fei Yan and Xue Ming lying on the ground, then pointed at Chu Ci, and a coordinate appeared in front of him.

"Here, this is where I am now. Come find me here after you're done. I'm leaving now, bye-bye."

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, all the branches and trees of the entire mountain range disappeared, like a dreamlike reflection in a mirror.

"Tsk, is this the method of a demigod? Influencing reality without destroying it, it feels like a dream."

As he spoke, Chu Ci opened the system map and began to compare the coordinates.

"Hmm, let me see, this location is... um? Within the territory of the southern kingdoms?... Wait, it can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Chu Ci seemed to have thought of something and continued searching.

After comparing it several times over a minute, he finally confirmed it.

"Good heavens, it really is Elias!"

Chu Ci looked at the red dot on the map and was speechless.

Considering the aura that Bellesa mentioned was not much weaker than hers, the answer is already quite obvious.

But now there's a question: why is Yali there again?

"Could it have been done by the royal family of Elias? After all, they are nobles, so it wouldn't be surprising if they did something like this." Chu Ci pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

Just then, Fei Yan and Xue Ming slowly opened their eyes and sat up.

Fei Yan: "Where is this? Hmm? Little one?"

Meanwhile, Xue Ming, who was standing up, quickly pulled out an ice sword and looked around warily.

"Watch out! A Saint-level expert has appeared here! Chu Ci, run! This could be a trap!"

Um... He looks so energetic, he seems to be alright.

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and then explained what had just happened to the two of them.

As for Belleza, he presented her as a senior, powerful figure he knew, since she didn't seem to like revealing her identity to others.

"Really? I see. Thank goodness for you, little guy. Otherwise, if we had really fallen into the hands of that Saint-level expert, we would probably have been in real danger." Fei Yan said with a wry smile.

Xue Ming nodded in agreement.

In a world where the strong prey on the weak, the strong can kill the weak without even a reason; this is the cruel reality.

"Oh, let's not stand on ceremony. Here, Fei Yan, this is what I found inside. Didn't you need this?"

Chu Ci handed over the large piece of Moon Jade that he had snatched from the man in the blood-robed robe.

"This is!"

As a well-informed pharmacist, Fei Yan recognized the item immediately.

"Moonlight Jade, the only material you're short of for making the new potion, is perfect for settling the debt, isn't it?" Chu Ci said with a smile.

"But this value is too... sigh... never mind, I won't say anything sentimental. Just consider it something I owe you. Remember to send me a message if you need any help in the future." Fei Yan put away the Moon Jade and said seriously.

"Haha, no problem, no problem. Don't forget, Sister Feiyan, you are one of the Federation's top alchemists. I'll definitely need your help in the future. Just give me some extra help then," Chu Ci said half-jokingly.

"Alright, you two, everything's settled. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be going now. Take care."

Swish!

Chu Ci transformed into a streak of azure light before their eyes, soaring into the sky and eventually disappearing into the horizon.

"This little guy... is indeed very mysterious." Fei Yan sighed as she watched the fleeting streak of light in the distance.

"Yes, he actually managed to rescue us unharmed from a Saint-level expert. Now, his level is so high that we can only look up to him."

"He's only been awakened for less than a year, yet he's capable of contending with a Saint-level expert... Hah, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would never have believed it was true." Xue Ming said with a wry smile, rubbing his forehead.

"Hehe, who says otherwise?" Fei Yan laughed along.

"Oh, by the way, let's split this Moonlit Jade. We can't let you come with us and then go back empty-handed."

As she spoke, Fei Yan looked at Xue Ming.

The other party quickly waved their hand.

"No, I don't need this thing. It's more valuable for you to keep it. Besides, I'm not entirely without any benefit. You can see that from my attribute panel."

Ok?

Fei Yan opened her panel following Xue Ming's instructions.

She froze on the spot after just one glance.

"What?! My health has almost doubled! How did that happen? Wait, could it be the little guy's doing?"

"Hahaha, besides us, he's the only one left here. But it's most likely left by that senior friend he mentioned. Speaking of which, my life points have increased by almost half. Most importantly, that power is faintly remaining in my body. I might be able to use it to comprehend a trace of the rules ahead of time, greatly shortening the time it takes to break through to the peak of the King level. This is an incredible opportunity!"

A smile, rarely seen on Xue Ming's face, revealed that he was in a very good mood.

Although his main cultivation rules are sword and ice, it's like someone groping in the dark. Without a good teacher and good opportunities, figuring out the rules on your own is harder than climbing to heaven. There might not be a genius among millions who can do it.
