147: Eat even if you vomit blood, arrive at the main city!

"There's something good!"

Mo Fan's eyes lit up. He stepped forward and dug out a palm-sized, dark green token from behind a dark stone.

The token had an ancient style and emitted a faint cyan light. The front was engraved with the two large characters "Po Jun," and the back was carved with complex cloud patterns. It was finely crafted and looked quite aesthetically pleasing.

The "Po Jun" characters on the front were not the standard Chinese characters used on Blue Star; they were the same font as the one carved on the stone tablet in the backyard of the Sword Pavilion.

Mo Fan examined it carefully and realized it wasn't just similar—it was the exact same font as the one on the stone tablet in the Sword Pavilion's backyard.

"This thing is an antique; it should be valuable—"

Mo Fan focused his mind and began to observe the token closely.

It looked very new, forming a sharp contrast with the other items in the cave. This alone made it destined to be extraordinary.

Thinking this, Mo Fan focused and cast an Appraisal Technique on the token. A light blue Virtual panel flashed, and the identification information for the dark green token appeared.

【po jun token: An identity token of the Pojun Legion. With this token, one can enter the Military Camp and become a member of the Pojun Legion.】

Looking at the identification information, Mo Fan frowned slightly.

"po jun token? Pojun Legion... Is this the army stationed in the main city? If I become a member of the Pojun Legion, will I be able to obtain a great Opportunity?"

After pondering for a moment, Mo Fan did not put the po jun token into his system space but instead carried it with him.

"Hopefully, I'll be able to use it in the future!"

After putting the po jun token away, Mo Fan continued to explore the cave.

A few minutes later, he had turned the cave upside down. Unfortunately, apart from this po jun token, everything else was junk with no value at all.

Carrying his disappointment, Mo Fan left the cave.

At this moment, the beast-like spirit body was still circling the cave entrance, biting at the air one mouthful after another; it looked somewhat comical.

Mo Fan made a rough calculation.

The small Field he had repaired could likely last for forty-eight hours. The beast-like spirit body was too strong; Mo Fan had no way to deal with it for the time being, so he could only leave it to fend for itself.

He walked a straight line for a while and found Gu Shuiyue lying unconscious on the ground.

"How miserable—"

At this moment, Gu Shuiyue was covered in blood, breathing faintly, as if she could die at any moment. Mo Fan hurriedly took out a few Medicinal Pills, fed them to her, and checked her injuries.

"More than a dozen bones are broken, her internal organs have shifted, and her heart and kidneys are mostly shattered..."

Mo Fan looked up at the sky, speechless.

If it weren't for the vigorous vitality of a Transcendent Martial Artist, she would likely be beyond saving after suffering such heavy injuries.

However, at this moment, her body was filled with extraordinary secret power, slowly repairing her injuries and maintaining her life.

Mo Fan suspected that even without his Medicinal Pills, if he left Gu Shuiyue here for a day or two, she would recover on her own.

This was the nature of a Transcendent; their level of life had already far surpassed that of ordinary people. As long as there was a breath left, the extraordinary secret power would repair itself. No matter how serious the injury, as long as she wasn't dead, she would recover within two or three days.

Thinking of this, Mo Fan looked on with longing.

"When will I be able to advance to Transcendent?"

Just then, Gu Shuiyue's weak voice rang out.

"Jun... Junior Brother..."

"Hmm?" Mo Fan leaned down to listen.

"Jun... Junior Brother, are... are we dead?" Gu Shuiyue's intermittent voice came through.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We aren't dead. I've controlled that big guy; it won't be able to come out for a while!" Mo Fan said.

"That... that's good..." Gu Shuiyue tilted her head and passed out again.

Mo Fan smiled, picked up Gu Shuiyue from the ground, and carried her on his back as he walked out of the stone forest.

"Hiss, so flat, like a steel plate!"

Mo Fan gasped, feeling it was uncomfortable.

The stone forest was huge. Moreover, influenced by some mysterious power, Mo Fan's speed could never pick up. If he tried to speed up, he would even walk in the wrong direction!

This resulted in Mo Fan walking for five hours straight, yet he was still trapped in the stone forest, with a distance still left to the edge.

By this time, the sky, which was already somewhat hazy, had completely darkened.

As the sky darkened, Mo Fan felt countless eyes staring at him, making his hair stand on end and giving him goosebumps all over.

It was obvious that as soon as night fell, the spirit bodies became active immediately, and many ferocious spirit bodies had awakened.

Traveling at this time, he would likely be besieged by a large number of spirit bodies before he could get very far, and Mo Fan feared he wouldn't be able to handle it alone.

Frowning, Mo Fan took a large miner's lamp out of his system space.

With a whoosh, the darkness was illuminated, and Mo Fan immediately saw some black shadows retreating rapidly.

In an instant, he felt much more relaxed. Although he was still being stared at by some cold gazes, the number was much smaller than before.

After observing the surroundings, Mo Fan carried the light, with the still unconscious Gu Shuiyue on his back, and walked toward the southwest.

After a few steps, Mo Fan saw a giant rock three or four meters high and five or six meters wide. Walking to the front of the rock, Mo Fan gently placed Gu Shuiyue on the ground and slightly circulated his Golden Body Art.

In an instant, Mo Fan's hands glowed with gold, and he hammered away at the rock. Two minutes later, the rock was hollowed out and turned into a small stone chamber.

He placed Gu Shuiyue inside the stone chamber and casually set up a few Ice Arrays, causing the ground to immediately freeze with a thin layer of frost.

"Cold, cold—" Gu Shuiyue, in her unconscious state, curled up, shivering with cold.

Mo Fan focused and took a quilt from his system space to cover her. Soon, Gu Shuiyue stopped shivering and fell asleep quietly.

Shaking his head, Mo Fan put the miner's lamp on his head, climbed out of the stone chamber, and his ten fingers danced rapidly, outlining mysterious Array Patterns and imprinting them around the stone chamber.

Ten minutes later, the stone chamber lit up with a whoosh, and fierce flames rose, like a meteorite falling from outer space. The flaming stone chamber illuminated the surroundings like a burning sun.

With a flurry of whoosh sounds, the spirit bodies retreated rapidly and vanished in an instant. Only then did Mo Fan feel all the cold gazes staring at him disappear.

"Finally done!"

Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, so hot—" Gu Shuiyue's voice came again.

Mo Fan clutched his forehead, put the miner's lamp back into the system space, flashed into the stone chamber, yanked the quilt off Gu Shuiyue, and put it back into the system space.

In a short while, Gu Shuiyue was red-faced from the heat, sweating all over, and her clothes were half soaked. Fortunately, Senior Sister was as flat as an airfield, so nothing awkward happened.

The Ice Array inside the stone chamber balanced the fire array outside, keeping the temperature at just over twenty degrees, making it very comfortable to stay inside.

Thinking about it, Mo Fan took an iron pot containing a few large hairy crabs out of the system space. He casually grabbed a hairy crab from the pot and started munching on it.

The hairy crabs had been cooked before being put into the system space. After taking them out, they were still in the same state as when they were put in, steaming hot and fragrant.

"Phew, satisfying, but it's a bit too spicy!" Mo Fan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

Just then, faint sounds came from Gu Shuiyue's side.

Mo Fan was stunned and looked over: "Waking up? This is too fast..."

At the same time, Gu Shuiyue slowly opened her bright eyes.

"Jun... Junior Brother?" She mustered her energy, propped herself up, and sat up.

"Senior Sister, you're awake?" Mo Fan's face was full of surprise.

Such heavy injuries! Even with the help of Medicinal Pills, under normal circumstances, this girl wouldn't be able to wake up until tomorrow morning! Yet now—this was too outrageous! What kind of belief was supporting her? She could wake up so much earlier after suffering such heavy injuries!

"A-awake..." Gu Shuiyue nodded.

"Good that you're awake, Senior Sister, hurry and circulate your Cultivation Technique to repair your injuries!" Mo Fan said quickly.

Once she was awake, things would be easy! By consuming Spirit Stones and actively channeling the extraordinary secret power, the speed of injury repair could be ten times faster! Starting to repair injuries now, by tomorrow morning, Gu Shuiyue would be bouncing around again! At that time, she would be a great help again!

"Good, good..." Gu Shuiyue nodded again, focused, and operated her Cultivation Technique, channeling the extraordinary secret power in her body to quickly repair her injuries. Seeing this, Mo Fan smiled, ignored her, and continued to gnaw on the hairy crab.

However, soon, Gu Shuiyue's soft, sweet voice rang out again:

"Jun... Junior Brother..." She blushed, seeming to find it hard to speak.

"What's wrong?" Mo Fan looked at her.

"W-what are you eating?" Gu Shuiyue's pretty face flushed slightly.

"Hairy crab!" Mo Fan raised the half-eaten hairy crab in his hand.

"So, so big!" Gu Shuiyue's eyes shone, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"Yeah, yeah, I carefully selected them. The meat is fresh and delicious, the size is huge, plus my Transcendent cooking skills, it's simply delicious to the point of exploding! But it's a pity it's too spicy; it's making me sweat all over!"

"Spicy flavored?" Gu Shuiyue's eyes became brighter.

"Spicy and numbing!" Mo Fan said.

Hearing this, Gu Shuiyue paused, her body even trembling slightly.

Seeing her appearance, Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, and a bold idea appeared in his mind. At the same time, Gu Shuiyue hesitated for a moment, her pretty face flushed, and she said somewhat embarrassedly: "Jun... Junior Brother..."

"Hmm?"

"C-could you... share a crab leg with me..." Gu Shuiyue lowered her head, her face blushing to the roots of her ears.

Hearing this, Mo Fan was dumbfounded! It really was! So she had woken up early because she smelled the fragrance of the hairy crab! Was her belief actually a belief in food? This was too terrifying! A super foodie!

While complaining in his heart, Mo Fan directly took a fresh and plump hairy crab from the pot and threw it to Gu Shuiyue.

"Eat, eat as much as you want, if it's not enough, I have more!"

"Many thanks, Junior Brother!" Gu Shuiyue's eyes went straight. To be able to eat her favorite hairy crab in the Secret Realm! And it was spicy and numbing flavored! It was worth dying for!

"Mmm! This is too delicious! How did you do it! Your cooking is too good!" Gu Shuiyue said while munching on the hairy crab, her words slurred.

"Eh, practice makes perfect; I just learned it by doing it a lot!" Mo Fan waved his hand.

"Junior Brother, you are too humble!"

After saying this, Gu Shuiyue focused on eating the hairy crab and said no more.

Mo Fan shook his head, said no more, and continued to eat the unfinished hairy crab in his hand. As for why his cooking skills were so good? That was thanks to his unreliable father. He was often nowhere to be found day and night. Mo Fan was forced to have no choice; he started cooking for himself before he was even taller than the stove. He was only five years old then! After doing it a lot, plus Mo Fan's own talent, the taste became good.

"Hiccup—" After eating two hairy crabs in a row, Gu Shuiyue held her lower abdomen and made a satisfied sound.

"Junior Brother, your cooking is simply too good!" Gu Shuiyue couldn't help but praise.

"Average, average." Mo Fan waved his hand. Mere cooking skills, not worth mentioning!

However, at this moment, Gu Shuiyue's expression froze, and her face immediately turned pale. Then— Σ_ (」∠) Vomit. A large mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out of Gu Shuiyue's mouth, staining the ground red.

Mo Fan: "..." Gu Shuiyue: "..."

"Uh, sorry, I'll wipe it clean..." Gu Shuiyue smiled somewhat embarrassedly, took out a rag from somewhere, and carefully wiped it up. Mo Fan clutched his forehead. This was the first time he had seen someone vomit blood from eating hairy crab!

Before long, Gu Shuiyue wiped the floor clean. Then, she caught sight of another hairy crab in the pot that hadn't been eaten yet. At this moment, Mo Fan had also stopped and was cleaning up the crab shells.

"Jun... Junior Brother..." Gu Shuiyue bit her red lip, looking somewhat shy.

"What is it, Senior Sister?" Mo Fan was puzzled.

"C-can I... eat one more?"

Mo Fan: "???" You're already vomiting blood and you still want to eat? Shouldn't you be busy operating your Cultivation Technique to heal your injuries right now? Her heart was too big!

"Jun... Junior Brother..."

"Sure!" Mo Fan said with a dark face, handing the remaining hairy crab to Gu Shuiyue.

"Thanks, thanks!" Gu Shuiyue hurriedly took the hairy crab and started munching on it. However, halfway through eating, she wow-ed and spat out another large mouthful of blood.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I'll wipe it clean!" Gu Shuiyue carefully put the remaining half of the hairy crab to the side and took out the rag to wipe again. It was so skilled it made people's hearts ache!

Mo Fan looked up at the ceiling, speechless: "Is this the power of a foodie?"

After stumbling through eating the hairy crab, Gu Shuiyue lay on the ground with a satisfied look, not wanting to move.

Mo Fan took a bottle of iced cola from his system space and handed it over. "To cleanse the grease."

"Happy Water?" Gu Shuiyue was stunned, hurriedly took the Happy Water, sat up, and drank it.

"Hiss! Is it still iced?"

"Yes! I have an Ice Array in my storage space! If you have anything you want to freeze, you can give it to me to freeze for you!" Mo Fan said.

"No, I'm a Transcendent, I don't need to eat, I didn't bring anything..." Gu Shuiyue said in a low voice. Soon, she realized something was wrong, and said somewhat incredulously: "Y-you can carve an Ice Array inside the storage space?"

"A newly researched method!" Mo Fan said.

"Elder Xu's understanding of Magic Arrays is indeed beyond imagination, to have actually researched a method to carve Array Patterns in the storage space... But Junior Brother is also very amazing, having learned such profound Array Patterns not long after entering Chixia Peak. No wonder you were able to enter Chixia Peak; it seems that in terms of Magic Arrays, you are a one-in-a-million Genius!" Gu Shuiyue said with a sigh.

She finally understood why Mo Fan was admitted to Chixia Peak. This Magic Array talent—it was too outrageous! At this moment, she also noticed the Ice Array inside the stone chamber and the fire array outside. At the same time, she also thought about how Mo Fan had managed to rescue her from that super fierce spirit body.

Mo Fan: "?" Misunderstood. Forget it, let it be a misunderstanding. This is also quite good!

After drinking the iced cola, Gu Shuiyue tried her best not to vomit blood again. She focused, smiled somewhat guiltily, sat cross-legged, took out a dozen Spirit Stones from her storage space, and operated her Cultivation Technique to heal.

"Junior Brother, you keep watch first, I'll heal my injuries for a while—"

"Okay." Mo Fan nodded.

The next morning, the two climbed out of the stone chamber and continued their journey. By this time, Gu Shuiyue's injuries had recovered by more than half, and she was full of vigor again.

After walking continuously for six hours, and after solving wave after wave of powerful spirit bodies, a towering giant city slowly appeared before the two.

"Junior Brother, we've arrived, ahead is the main city!"
