Li Qi is still applying medicine to He Yuxiu, just a little bit at a time, to ensure the dosage is sufficient and that He Yuxiu won’t get hurt.

After taking the Piercing Heart Pill, He Yuxiu’s vitality is strong, and her sense of pain is very sensitive. She is a strong-willed person, trying to endure as much as she can, but when she really can’t, she only lets out two sounds.

Those two sounds were heard by He Haiqin.

He is standing on the clearing outside the woods, ready to enter the forest at any moment.

He Haisheng transformed into a puff of smoke, blocking He Haiqin’s path.

Looking at the smoke, He Haiqin, slightly angry, said: "Our sister is moving above the clouds. I’ve experienced it once and know the difficulties here, I want to help her, why are you blocking me here?"

He Haisheng maintained his smoke form and replied: "Brother, can you first tell me how you found this place?"

He Haiqin retorted: "How did you find this place?"

He Haisheng said: "No need to worry about how I found it. I’m here, not to plot against our sister or this territory. I’m here to find you!"

He Haiqin said: "Why are you looking for me?"

"Brother, since you returned to Puluo State, I’ve been watching you. You’ve wandered around Greenwater City for several days, haven’t returned home, met the family, or asked about them.

You’re searching everywhere for Li Qi. Others don’t know, would think you’re related. Knowing Li Qi was in Greenwater City, you rushed here first. What’s the reason within? Can you tell me?"

"I don’t need to tell you! My matters aren’t for you to worry about! Move aside!"

He Haisheng concentrated the smoke into a ball: "No, brother, as long as I’m here, you won’t touch our sister."

He Haiqin laughed: "Aren’t you just pathetic? Has our sister ever looked at you properly? Among siblings, doesn’t she dislike you the most?"

He Haisheng never thought like this: "I don’t feel that sister dislikes me. When I was bullied as a child, sister stood up for me."

He Haiqin laughed aloud: "Whoever among us was bullied, she stood up, was it any special for you?"

He Haisheng replied: "I never asked for anything special, she treated me well, I remember."

He Haiqin clenched his face: "Move aside!"

The smoke hovered, He Haisheng said: "No!"

"Third brother, don’t blame me now, you brought this on yourself!" As the words fell, He Haiqin opened his mouth, his mouth stretching from below his nose to ear roots, his chin drooping to his navel.

Food Cultivator Ninth Layer Technique, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers.

This move naturally restrains Smoke Cultivation, Water Cultivation, and Fire Cultivation in the Taoist Sect, if He Haisheng stays in smoke form, He Haiqin can swallow him whole.

He Haisheng quickly showed his figure, yet some of the smoke was swallowed by He Haiqin.

"Move aside!" He Haiqin roared.

"No!" He Haisheng twisted his fingers, producing a flame. He Haiqin hadn’t figured out what this meant, but suddenly felt a burning sensation inside.

This was a method He Haisheng specifically devised against Food Cultivation.

Part of his body had been eaten by He Haiqin, this part couldn’t be reclaimed, so he simply burned it. Now, a part of He Haisheng’s body was already set ablaze inside He Haiqin.

For ordinary people, He Haisheng could burn them until their intestines were ruined, yet this move clearly wasn’t enough for He Haiqin.

The higher Food Cultivation level, the coarser and thicker the intestines and stomach. He Haiqin rubbed his stomach, burped out some smoke and fire, and laughed: "Is that all you got?"

"Not over yet!" He Haisheng twisted his fingers again, the smoke quickly expanded, causing He Haiqin’s stomach to swell.

This technique called As if Falling into a Sea of Smoke, mostly creates mist and illusionary realms, now used inside He Haiqin’s stomach, filling up his intestines and stomach.

Overfill the Food Cultivator, preventing them from eating more, a good tactic.

He Haiqin rubbed his belly and laughed: "Third brother, your Smoke Cultivation Techniques aren’t used rightly, they’re always against me. Are you always thinking of the Family Head position?"

He Haisheng shook his head: "I’ve never wanted to be Family Head. Food Cultivation restrains Smoke Cultivation, I trained this for self-defense, big brother, don’t force me, just leave."

And with that, He Haisheng twisted his fingers again, and He Haiqin felt a piercing pain in his gut.

This is Smoke Cultivation Technique, Smoke Disperse Cloud Vanish, where He Haisheng can disperse the smoke or cause the enemy to fragments along with it.

This ferocious technique surprisingly didn’t frighten He Haiqin, he rubbed his belly twice, his stomach shrank, and he digested all the smoke.

He Haisheng was amazed, He Haiqin’s prowess improved immeasurably. Before he could recover, He Haiqin suddenly transformed into dense smoke, surrounding He Haisheng.

Food Cultivation Technique, Hundred Swallowing Hundred Transformation.

He Haiqin, having consumed a part of the Smoke Cultivator’s body, gained the Smoke Cultivation techniques in a brief duration.

He Haisheng wanted to transform into smoke but refrained from doing so.

Transforming into smoke now would be serving himself to his brother.

The smoke materialized, He Haiqin transformed into a giant hammer, slammed into He Haisheng’s chest, crashing him into the forest.

He Haisheng struggled up, and He Haiqin again transformed into a hammer, slamming at He Haisheng’s head.

There was no choice but to turn into smoke, for not doing it meant certain death.

He Haisheng turned his head into smoke, but slightly slower, taking more than thirty percent of the force, knocked down unable to rise.

He Haiqin reverted to human form, originally wanting to finish off He Haisheng, but he heard He Yuxiu’s breathing.
