Urban God-level Youth

Xian Yin's eyes showed some excitement: "Fiery Flame Herb?"

Qin Hao glanced at it, and the system automatically identified the name. Indeed, it was called Fiery Flame Herb, mainly used for refining the Innate Elixir.

The Innate Elixir is a miraculous Spirit Pill that can help a Postnatal Peak expert break through to the Innate Realm.

"It'll take a few more days to mature," Qin Hao said.

Xian Yin was stunned: "Mr. Qin, you know herbs too?"

Qin Hao: "I know a little bit, shall I give this herb to you?"

Xian Yin quickly shook her head. She indeed needed these things, as she had been preparing them since she broke through to the Postnatal Realm.

The Fiery Flame Herb was precisely one of the main herbs she was missing.

But she couldn't take it. If not for Qin Hao, she would have died long ago. How could she fight over things with him? She said, "Mr. Qin, you should use it. I don't need it right now."

"I have no use for it. Three days later is the best time to harvest without damaging its properties. You can pick it then." Qin Hao had no use for these things.

After speaking, he found a place to start cultivating, intending to absorb the demonic core of the Fire Lion Beast.

Qin Hao was well aware of his shortcomings. He had speed, but his attack wasn't sharp enough. When encountering truly skilled experts, though he could protect himself, his attacks were lacking.

The power of the space mecha could not be enhanced, so now he could only improve his own strength.

Qin Hao fully operated the Immortal Burying Skill and began to absorb the Fire Lion Beast's demonic core.

The demonic core of a Postnatal Peak Realm contained an immensely terrifying and abundant energy. It was the essence of a beast, with the energy inside being extremely pure.

Xian Yin saw Qin Hao cultivating and started chatting with Ling'er. The two talked a lot, Xian Yin shared her background, which brought tears to Ling'er's eyes, and she also shared her own background. Their fates were strikingly similar.

Three days later, the Fiery Flame Herb in the center of the pond matured. Qin Hao was still cultivating, so she had to pick that Fiery Flame Herb and store it.

"Sister Xian Yin, will those bad people catch up?" Ling'er felt concerned seeing Qin Hao still cultivating.

Xian Yin was stunned: "Probably not. We've already far outrun them."

Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Master is still cultivating, and it would be troublesome if they came."

Xian Yin glanced at Qin Hao, her beautiful eyes full of curiosity. Who really is he?

At this moment, Qin Hao suddenly emitted a strong and powerful aura, rippling out like waves.

Xian Yin hurriedly took Ling'er and retreated a distance.

Ling'er asked in confusion: "Sister Xian Yin, what's happening with Master?"

"Mr. Qin should have broken through to the Postnatal Realm," Xian Yin said with some surprise in her voice. "So quickly? Didn't he encounter any boundary obstacles?"

Boundary obstacles, as the name implies, are the barriers one encounters when breaking through realms.

Generally, every cultivator encounters boundary obstacles. Those with poor talent have stronger barriers, making it hard to break through. Those with high talent break through more easily.

Judging from Qin Hao's breakthrough speed, his talent should be very high; otherwise, he wouldn't have smoothly reached the Postnatal Realm.

In fact, Qin Hao didn't feel any boundary obstacles at all. Once he had absorbed enough energy, and with the support of the Immortal Burying Skill, everything happened naturally.

Seconds later, Qin Hao opened his eyes, with a flash of joy in them.

"Congratulations, young master, for breaking through to the Postnatal Realm." Xian Yin's smile was reserved and graceful, pleasing to the eye.

"Congratulations, Master. You're truly amazing." Ling'er ran over and hugged his arm.

Qin Hao, at this point, had no more Spirit Stones. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's go out and hunt some beasts for their demonic cores for cultivation."

He didn't plan to leave now because he still had a system task to complete. Once finished, he would leave Jiangping State.

Also, he needed to improve his strength, and hunting beasts during this period was the perfect opportunity to enhance his abilities.

The three of them exited the cave. There were too many beasts nearby, most of them at the Postnatal Peak Realm. Occasionally, they encountered ones at the Innate Realm.

They flew in the forest for a while and then discovered a Postnatal Late Stage beast—a Green-Eyed Demon Wolf.

The Green-Eyed Demon Wolf, seeing humans intruding on its territory, roared continuously, its pair of eerie green eyes staring fixedly at the three.

"I feel a little dizzy," Ling'er said.

Xian Yin quickly reminded: "Don't look at its eyes."

Qin Hao calmly said, "Xian Yin, keep Ling'er behind and watch." With that, he rushed forward.

This time, Qin Hao did not use the space mecha, battling the Green-Eyed Demon Wolf with his own strength.

He aimed to hone his practical combat skills and enhance the Ten Thousand Thunder Sword Skill.

In the forest, Sword Qi crisscrossed, dazzling light shining. After breaking through to the Postnatal Realm, Qin Hao's combat power surged, and even when fighting against a Postnatal Late Stage beast, he held his ground and was quite formidable.

From afar, Xian Yin noticed that Qin Hao's speed was not as monstrous as before. Was he battling the Green-Eyed Demon Wolf using only his strength?

If that was true, he would be terrifying. A Postnatal Early Stage cultivator versus a Postnatal Late Stage beast—she had never seen or heard of such a battle.

Normally, a Postnatal Late Stage beast's combat power far exceeds that of a cultivator of the same level—often, it takes four or five cultivators of the same level working together to slay a beast of the same level.

Beasts are naturally strong in combat, but their intelligence doesn't match humans. However, the top-ranked beasts possess intelligence comparable to humans.

The sounds of battle in the forest lasted a long time, and finally, Qin Hao decapitated the Green-Eyed Demon Wolf with one sword strike.

Qin Hao was only slightly injured, and after tidying up the wolf's carcass, he continued searching for more beasts without resting.

Xian Yin felt a bit worried: "Young master, won't you take a break?"

"It's alright," Qin Hao replied calmly.

Very soon, they encountered a second beast, a Postnatal Peak Realm beast stronger than the Green-Eyed Demon Wolf.

Qin Hao again chose not to use the space mecha and fought fiercely with this beast, facing danger several times, causing Xian Yin and Ling'er much concern.

However, Xian Yin could see Qin Hao's progress. His Swordsmanship became increasingly sharp, and its power grew stronger.

He was a combat genius, always finding his shortcomings in each battle and correcting or even improving them.

Xian Yin couldn't quite understand. With such high talent, how was he only at this realm?

Could it be that he hadn't been cultivating for very long?

After almost an hour of fierce fighting, Qin Hao finally slew the Peak Late Stage beast. However, his body bore over a dozen wounds, not lightly injured, and his Spiritual Energy was vastly depleted.

In Xian Yin's heart, waves of shock surged. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it.

A cultivator who just broke through to the Postnatal Early Stage had consecutively slain two Postnatal Late Stage beasts—what kind of combat power was this?
