After a while, Huang Fu finally reached the abandoned mines. Cobwebs spread all over it while screeching bats can be heard from the inside.
'It really does look abandoned'
Huang Fu pondered for a while before proceeding inside, even though he knows that there are two people following him that came from the group he saw earlier, he ignored them since they still didn't make a move on him.
"Elder Binyamin, even though you are at saint realm, are you sure you can take him down? He killed a killed a peak nascent soul spirit beast!"
100 meters away from Huang Fu, Fan Tong whispered to the old man beside him who is furrowing his forehead.
"I'm sure that I only felt that his aura his only at core formation, the only explanation for him succeeding to kill that spirit beast is that he used a one time talisman"
Despite saying that, Binyamin still felt hesitant because he himself wasn't too sure about it.
"Nevermind that, let's just follow him, we'll jump for it if we see the opportunity"
"....Okay"
Binyamin shook his head then they both continued to tail Huang Fu from behind.
After a few hours...
"What the hell is he doing? He's just been collecting odd materials! even though he will gain a lot of gold if he sold all of that, it's still useless for a core formation!"
Fan Tong and Binyamin were both infuriated tailing him for so long only to see him collect materials that are no use for cultivators while avoiding every spirit beast he sees, leaving both of them to continuously fight the ones he left behind.
'Why the hell do they keep following me even though spirit beasts kept beating them up?'
Huang Fu was curious as to why these two idiots are still following him even after all that happened. Nevertheless, he was still happy looking at all the materials he gained.
'Even though this materials aren't that strong, it's still stronger than wood'
'Hmm? What's that?'
He squinted his eyes looking at a figure surrounded by many shadows. As he went closer and closer, he was shocked to see that the figure was a boy aging around 9-10 years old with sharp fangs while the shadows are all spirit beasts.
As soon as the child saw Huang Fu, he kept growling and glaring at him while the spirit beasts around him did the same.
Huang Fu was shocked to see this, despite being only at the body tempering, he obviously survived here for a long time judging from the way he act, he may have even been born here.
'System, why are the spirit beasts not attacking him?'
Ding!
'The child has a unique constitution which makes the spirit beasts feel affectionate towards him'
After pondering for a while, he decided to talk with the lad.
'I can test something with this, system, can you give me something that can make us both communicate each other?'
Ding!
Telepathy communication pill- works for one hour 100 points
Purchase yes/no?
'Yes'
He then flicked his fingers, throwing a pill towards the lad without him even noticing. He also swallowed the other pill.
"What's your name?"
The lad suddenly heard a voice inside his head, looking around, he didn't see the person in front of him even move his mouth.
"It's me, the person in front of you, I'm just talking to you in telepathic way"
He then glared at Huang Fu even more but with fear this time while backing up.
"I-Its Kuo Lim"
He responded in his head with the only thing he knows about himself while feeling confused.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to hurt you, I just wanna give you something"
Before Kuo Lim could respond, countless amount of information came crashing inside mind. qi path and body path Cultivation (heaven's grade), beast taming, language, managing a city, manners, etiquette....
After a few minutes that felt like hours, Kuo Lim finally regained consciousness, looking around, he didn't find the person he was talking awhile ago.
Despite not seeing him, Kuo Lim kowtowed without any hesitation towards the entrance of the cave with teary eyes.
"Thank you master!"

Outside the cave, Huang Fu glanced at his back with the corners of his mouth slightly upwards, despite not knowing the other person, he still decided to help him stronger. He didn't decide do it after a long time of thinking, he just did it only because of impulse. Despite that, he doesn't regret doing it.
'With a system, I can become the strongest person in this world for a short period of time, for some, it might be exciting, but what's wrong with a free and easygoing life like this?'
Huang Fu smiled while walking through the forest.
A surge of qi suddenly appeared with pressure that's shaking the trees around him. Without even looking back, Huang Fu slightly raised his arm then clenched it before moving forward.
Behind him, the trees and spirit beasts he passed through earlier vanished, leaving only a huge crater devoid of any sound.
