My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 381 - 61: Companions

Ye Tingwen’s perseverance was indeed as Nan Hua had imagined. Even though he was battered by the Long-armed Spirit Ape, he did not give up.

His swordsmanship was considered quite decent among the many people Nan Hua had seen, and although his understanding of swordsmanship was not as profound as Si Lin’s, he was still formidable amongst his peers.

Although he was battered by the Long-armed Spirit Ape, the ape wasn’t any better off, with blood streaks marring its white fur.

The eyes of the Long-armed Spirit Ape had turned from their original black to red, teetering on the brink of madness.

Meanwhile, Ye Tingwen was already reaching his limit, struggling to hold on.

Just as Nan Hua was about to intervene, Ye Tingwen suddenly erupted.

A whirlpool of Immortal Qi suddenly formed with him at the center, drawing in the surrounding Immortal Qi and rapidly infusing it into his body.

His body quickly absorbed the Immortal Qi, and his aura was climbing rapidly, soon reaching the limit of the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But this wasn’t the end; the immortal power in his body surged forward, directly breaking through the barrier between the Heavenly Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Realm, achieving a breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm!

The injuries he had sustained earlier were greatly healed due to the breakthrough, and his whole demeanor was different, his aura appearing much sharper.

Then, as he looked at the Long-armed Spirit Ape again, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

With a treasure sword in hand, he charged directly at the Long-armed Spirit Ape.

The Long-armed Spirit Ape naturally sensed the difference in him from before. Fear and reluctance flashed through its red eyes. It hesitated for a moment and decided not to confront him directly, instead, turning around to escape.

Would Ye Tingwen let it escape?

In mid-air, holding the treasure sword, he swung horizontally, a powerful Sword Qi rushing towards the back of the Long-armed Spirit Ape.

Sensing the danger from behind, the Long-armed Spirit Ape hurriedly rolled to the side, the Sword Qi grazing its body and leaving a deep mark on the ground beside it.

Knowing it couldn’t escape, the Long-armed Spirit Ape hesitated for a while, then had no choice but to turn back and continue fighting with Ye Tingwen.

The situation completely changed. It became Ye Tingwen pressing the Long-armed Spirit Ape, and due to its severe injuries, the ape was powerless to retaliate.

Resisting stubbornly for less than a quarter of an hour, it fell unwillingly under Ye Tingwen’s sword.

Ye Tingwen landed on the ground, coughing into his hand as he looked at the corpse of the Long-armed Spirit Ape in front of him.

Clearly, he wasn’t as strong as he appeared; although he had broken through, there were still some injuries from earlier affecting his performance.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Suddenly, a round of applause sounded, and Ye Tingwen immediately looked over nervously. Seeing it was Nan Hua, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he felt a little relieved at heart.

"Senior Brother Nan?" he asked cautiously.

Since joining the Langya Immortal Sect, they referred to each other as senior and junior brothers. Nan Hua was older, so even though they were all under the Peak Master, Ye Tingwen still called Nan Hua Senior Brother.

"Junior Brother Ye, long time no see." Nan Hua had always had a good impression of Ye Tingwen. After witnessing Ye Tingwen’s battle just now, his fondness for him increased even more, and he was not as aloof as usual.

"Long time no see! When did Senior Brother Nan arrive?" Ye Tingwen asked Nan Hua, recalling the anomaly he felt when he broke through earlier.

"Oh, I’ve been here for a while. I just saw that Junior Brother Ye was about to make a breakthrough, so I didn’t reveal myself. I hope Junior Brother Ye doesn’t blame me?" Nan Hua hurriedly explained to avoid being misunderstood by Ye Tingwen.

"Of course not," Ye Tingwen said hastily, waving his hand. Even if Nan Hua hadn’t explained, he wouldn’t blame him; moreover, Nan Hua’s explanation made sense. If Nan Hua had appeared earlier, he might not have been pushed to the brink and used it as an opportunity to break through. "Senior Brother Nan, don’t overthink it."

"That’s good," Nan Hua smiled, "How did you encounter the Long-armed Spirit Ape?"

"My luck wasn’t good. I accidentally disturbed it while it was eating, and it held a grudge against me, chasing me all the way, unable to shake it off." Ye Tingwen gave a bitter smile and explained briefly.

"That’s indeed quite unfortunate." Seeing Ye Tingwen’s state, Nan Hua returned a sympathetic look, "Judging by your condition earlier, you should still be injured. Heal yourself first, and I’ll watch over you here."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Nan." Ye Tingwen agreed directly.

Although he hadn’t interacted much with Nan Hua, Ye Tingwen trusted Nan Hua’s character. He indeed had injuries that hadn’t healed. Since Nan Hua suggested it, he sat cross-legged on the ground, put a few elixirs into his mouth, and started cultivating to heal his wounds.

Seeing Ye Tingwen trust him so much, Nan Hua was taken aback, his mouth twitching slightly, wanting to tell Ye Tingwen not to trust him too much. What if he suddenly attacked him?

Of course, he only thought this in his mind, shook his head, and stood beside him dutifully guarding Ye Tingwen.

Fortunately, it didn’t take Ye Tingwen long to heal, just half an hour before he opened his eyes. Seeing Nan Hua with his back turned, diligently guarding him, a touch of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He applied healing medicine to his wound, and soon the bleeding stopped, and some minor wounds were already scabbed.

"Senior Brother Nan, I’m done." He stood up and softly called Nan Hua.

Upon hearing this, Nan Hua turned around, seeing his complexion had indeed improved from before and some wounds had healed, he nodded.

"Then let’s move on together. It’ll be safer." Nan Hua thought about not having found Gu Qingqing and the others yet. With dangers lurking in this secret realm, it was better to have a familiar, trustworthy companion, so he invited Ye Tingwen.

"I was thinking the same." Ye Tingwen had the same thought, only that Nan Hua beat him to it.

"Then let’s go." Nan Hua and Ye Tingwen exchanged smiles, and started walking first, "Let’s look for the herbs required by the sect’s mission."

Ye Tingwen quickly followed, and they headed in one direction together, discussing which herb to search for first.

...

Gu Qingqing and Rong Ye ventured out together to search for water. After walking for about an hour from where they started, they finally found a river. After a careful search nearby, they discovered a patch of White Frost Spirit Grass, roughly a dozen stalks. Delighted, the two hurriedly picked them.

"Alright, this is enough for me to complete the task." Rong Ye collected the White Frost Spirit Grass, dusted off his hands, and said to Gu Qingqing.

"That’s good. Let’s rest for a bit before looking for the Fire Cloud Mushroom." Gu Qingqing nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Rong Ye.

"Okay, as you say." Rong Ye naturally had no objections, as whenever he was with Gu Qingqing, he would always defer to her.
