First chapter, requesting subscriptions and monthly votes~~~...

While speaking, Qin Fang didn't have the luxury to carefully check what good stuff Ando Sasuke had dropped. He just grabbed the items and tossed them into the Props Box, then quickly got up and fled in a certain direction.

Almost immediately after, just as Qin Fang disappeared from sight, a small pig darted out from the jungle, becoming a black blur that quickly sped through the area…

Poor Ando Sasuke, even in death, had to endure this pig stomping on his face, almost sending his head flying…

However, this small pig clearly had no intention of noticing such things and swiftly dashed past the spot, disappearing at the place where Qin Fang had vanished, moving with extreme speed that made it nearly impossible for anyone to capture its shadow.

Roar~~

But, the pig had fled, yet a much larger giant wolf was still following it… growling deeply, it chased quickly, with violent energy swirling around it, shaking and splitting the surrounding trees quite a bit.

Bang~~

However, the giant wolf seemed to be provoked, its aura becoming quite violent. It moved very fast, but each paw step was quite heavy.

The spot where the small pig had just stepped on Ando Sasuke's head now suffered even more misfortune, as a huge wolf claw slammed down on it with a resounding crack reminiscent of a watermelon bursting, flattening Ando Sasuke's head into a pulp.

Roar~~

However, Ando Sasuke's head wasn't completely useless; at least the sudden noise gave the giant wolf a big scare, making it pause for a moment and instinctively look down beneath it.

After a glance, it forgot about pursuing the small pig because the corpse on the ground seemed more appealing than a pig too small to fill its teeth…

It naturally stopped pursuing and began to gnaw on Ando Sasuke's corpse… Life on this Little Island meant that various birds and beasts were scarce, or simply inedible, leaving the giant wolf possibly not having tasted meat for ages.

Perhaps this is why, upon spotting Qin Fang, it immediately leaped from the island's depths to hunt him… Unfortunately, the pig's appearance disrupted its appetite, leading to a relentless chase.

Now, with a fresh, tender body on the ground, the giant wolf no longer desired to chase the pig, stopping to feast instead… As for Ando Sasuke's head, it had long been crushed into pulp, dying an exceptionally gruesome death.

The pig that escaped, known as the lazy pig by Qin Fang, was naturally Qin Fang's pet, the Chrysanthemum Pig… But, this guy, who had been helping Qin Fang fend off the Yin Wind Wolf, had now unrighteously run away.

Although it escaped, the direction it took was straight toward Qin Fang… which seemed quite unfair.

If Qin Fang hadn't already killed Ando Sasuke, with the Yin Wind Wolf joining the fray, it would have been a big mess… Not to mention killing Ando Sasuke; Qin Fang might have been risking his own life.

Luckily, although the Chrysanthemum Pig was quite unreliable, the timing of its choice to run wasn't terribly unfortunate, as it at least emerged after Qin Fang took care of Ando Sasuke.

"Damn, you dead pig…"

Qin Fang was fleeing quickly ahead, and soon the Chrysanthemum Pig caught up, racing alongside him… This made Qin Fang furious, grabbing the pig by one ear and lifting it up, cursing vehemently.

"Snort snort…"

Yet, the Chrysanthemum Pig seemed rather smug, pointing behind it while its legs flailed in the air, apparently trying to convey something, though Qin Fang didn't quite get it…

"Not following?"

However, after some gestures from the Chrysanthemum Pig, Qin Fang also sensed that the Yin Wind Wolf's presence was no longer behind them, seemingly having not pursued.

Upon hearing this, the Chrysanthemum Pig nodded happily, a hint of pride in its eyes, as if awaiting praise and thanks from Qin Fang.

Slap~~

"You damned pig… almost got me killed! How dare you act so smug?"

Unfortunately, what followed was a harsh slap from Qin Fang, accompanied by his furious rebuke.

But nonetheless, after confirming that the Yin Wind Wolf hadn't followed, Qin Fang could somewhat breathe a sigh of relief... At least their safety was reasonably assured, and they wouldn't need to flee wildly anymore.

"Phew~~~ It's about time, we should head back!"

Qin Fang glanced at the sky, then looked into the distance, toward the depths of the Little Island, and finally shook his head helplessly, denying the longing in his heart.

It's undeniable, the deepest part of the Little Island is absolutely where the most treasures are. Looking at the dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in the sky, it's evident that there's more than one Spiritual Medicine there, or such dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi couldn't have formed.

Unfortunately, aside from Spiritual Medicines, there are also Spiritual Beasts present there… Among the Spiritual Beasts, at least one has reached the terrifying Supreme Realm, far beyond Qin Fang's ability to contend with. Recklessly venturing in would mean certain death.

"Hey, dead pig... what's that in your mouth?"

But just as Qin Fang was preparing to leave with the Chrysanthemum Pig, withdrawing from the core area of the Little Island, he suddenly noticed that the Chrysanthemum Pig seemed to have something in its mouth. He immediately asked in surprise and, disregarding cleanliness, reached out to retrieve the item from the Chrysanthemum Pig's mouth...

"This is..."

Qin Fang took out the item and examined it carefully, his expression becoming quite solemn. He vaguely felt that the thing before him seemed familiar, yet he couldn't recall it very clearly.

"Seven-Star Sword Grass?"

However, it didn't matter; Qin Fang still had his Scouting Skill to use, which soon revealed the origin of the item to him, astonishing him greatly… "Does this thing actually exist?"

This was a medicinal herb… It actually looked very much like a rock, both in appearance and texture, seemingly having nothing to do with grass. Yet, it was indeed an herb, an exceptionally rare one that had virtually vanished from Earth.

The Seven-Star Sword Grass, with an appearance akin to a rock, looked grayish and quite unremarkable, shaped like a sharp sword. On closer inspection, the sword hilt, blade, ridge, and edge of the Seven-Star Sword Grass could still be discerned...

What was particularly mysterious were the white speckles scattered across the ridge… Upon a simple count, it was found that each side of the Seven-Star Sword Grass bore seven speckles, varying in brightness and darkness.

Of course, this was merely the intriguing appearance of the Seven-Star Sword Grass. There was another crucial reason why it was so renowned… Legend had it that the Seven-Star Sword Grass inherently contained a certain Sword Intent, and mastering swordsmen who pondered upon it stood a chance of comprehending Sword Intent, with their prowess improving swiftly and the potency of their sword skills greatly enhanced.

However, this legend had been passed down through generations, to the point where truth and falsehood were indistinguishable. After all, the Seven-Star Sword Grass had almost vanished from existence, and truly skilled swordsmen were nearly extinct.

Consequently, the Seven-Star Sword Grass naturally became a legend…gradually fading into the annals of history.

Were it not for Qin Fang's Scouting Skill, the Chrysanthemum Pig grabbing it by chance, or Qin Fang coincidentally arriving on this Little Island… this Seven-Star Sword Grass might have met the fate of ordinary medicinal herbs, finally turning into a pile of manure from the Chrysanthemum Pig, disappearing and becoming extinct!

Holding the Seven-Star Sword Grass, Qin Fang slightly focused his mind, silently extending a trace of True Qi into this stalk of Seven-Star Sword Grass, wishing to feel and contemplate the Sword Intent it contained, witnessing whether this legend was real.

"Oh? It really contains Sword Intent..."

The result also astonished Qin Fang… As his True Qi had just entered this stalk of Seven-Star Sword Grass and before he could react, Qin Fang could clearly feel a very strange force effortlessly sever the connection between his body and the True Qi he injected...

This outcome made Qin Fang somewhat uncomfortable… After all, every trace of True Qi comes only after arduous cultivation and fusion; although acquired slightly quickly, the process was filled with hardships and dangers.

Such formidable True Qi was lost mysteriously like that, causing Qin Fang to feel a pang of heartache…

However, this mysterious and unpredictable force, Qin Fang could essentially confirm, indeed proved the existence of Sword Intent, and Qin Fang could also feel the sharpness and incisiveness of that force just moments ago… Such sensations Qin Fang had only felt from Flowing Shadow Divine Sword and other Divine Weapons.

"Perhaps, I can leverage this Seven-Star Sword Grass to comprehend Sword Intent..."

Grasping this mysterious Seven-Star Sword Grass, Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter in his mind.

The Seven-Star Sword Grass is an exceedingly rare herb. It isn't of Spiritual Medicine grade, nor does it hold any medicinal value, but its true value is unmatched by many other Spiritual Medicines...

Not only would others think so, even Qin Fang would agree, considering this stalk of Seven-Star Sword Grass… Qin Fang even regarded it as his greatest gain since setting foot on the island, surpassing those two stalks of Spiritual Medicine (To be continued.
