I Can Give Talent

Leyvi's carriages had to make a few detours around a few rocky hills because there was no straight path to the area indicated by the radar.

After circling around the area for a while, Leyvi's spiritual sense found a visually hidden opening that led to an underground cave.

Leyvi then spread his spiritual sense into the cave. After reaching the range of 7 kilometers into the cave, Leyvi spotted a huge demonic lizard hiding behind a big rock concealing its presence. Leyvi wasn't sure what species this lizard was from however, he could tell that it was a high-level demonic beast.

"There's a high-level demonic lizard inside. Should we go?" Leyvi asked Anda. She was mad at him previously when he attacked the demonic gorilla alone but this time they have a team, so Anda probably wouldn't mind.

"Is there anything that could be a Qi-related treasure? The radar is pointing there." Anda answered Leyvi with another question.

"I only sense a pool of water near the demonic lizard," Leyvi said.

Anda's eyes brightened. "That must be the treasure!"

If what she guessed was correct, this water would be extremely beneficial for them! Therefore, they have to kill the demonic lizard guarding that place.

"Leyvi, we need to get that water. Plan how to kill the lizard now." Anda instructed.

"Right away General Anda!" Leyvi saluted Anda, acting like a soldier.

Lilian giggled. She knew that she would be included in the battle team because she was the only Core Formation expert here.

Lilian looked at her husband and she was still amazed at the range of his spiritual sense. After she entered the Core Formation realm, her spiritual sense could reach 4 kilometers away. It was already better than the average cultivator in the same realm.

However, Anda told her that Leyvi's spiritual sense reached 15 kilometers away as a middle-stage Foundation Building realm. Isn't this way too abnormal? Thankfully, Leyvi's abnormal spiritual sense had saved them from danger many times.

"Alright. Lilian, Anda, and Mr. Bison, the three of you will follow me and fight that Lizard." Leyvi decided the team.

"Boss! I'm just an intermediate-level demonic beast, how am I supposed to fight a high-level one?" Mr. Bison protested. 

"You don't have to fight, you just need to protect Anda. You've been slacking in training your ability, this time you become the punching bag." Leyvi refuted Mr. Bison's protest.

"Leyvi! I want to fight too!" Valenia volunteered as Mr. Bison complained in the background.

"No. You stay here with the rest. Your broadsword is not suitable to fight in the cave." Leyvi denied.

Valenia pouted. She wanted to fight too.

"If your body is as tough as mine, it wouldn't be a problem, but you aren't. Close combat with a high-level demonic beast isn't feasible for you." Leyvi continued his reasoning after seeing Valenia's unconvinced expression.

"Fine." She gave up. If she wants to be as tough as Leyvi, she has to break her body many times, which she doesn't have the willpower to do.

Long-range fight huh? Valenia wondered if there was a way for her to have a long-range attack. Other metal-attributed cultivators could manipulate their weapon using Qi, but she was horrible at it. Maybe she should attach a rope on the handle so she could throw her broadsword.

Leyvi scanned the area around them again and made sure that there were no other threats nearby.

"Alright let's go!" Leyvi immediately entered the hidden opening behind two overlapping flat rocks.

Anda, Lilian, and the still complaining Mr. Bison followed Leyvi's lead into the cave.

Along the way, Leyvi explained the battle strategy to them.

"Did you feel the change in spiritual energy here?" Anda asked.

"You're right. It's getting denser. Is it because of the water? I wonder what kind of treasure it is." Leyvi tried to guess but nothing came to his mind.

Anda smiled. She was 99% sure what it was now but decided not to tell.

Soon, they were near the place where the demonic lizard was hiding to surprise attack them.

"Remember, if possible, don't attack the cave or it might collapse." Leyvi sent a sound transmission and reminded them again.

"Husband be careful, that lizard is a Kodomo Dragon, don't get bitten by it, the poison is deadly!" Lilian cautioned Leyvi.

Leyvi immediately took out a top-grade Poison Repellent Pill and consumed it. It's a tier-2 pill that would repel most poisonous substances that tried to enter the body for a few minutes. However, it won't work if the poison is already in the body.

When Leyvi entered the area where Demonic Kodomo Dragon was hiding, it immediately launched a surprise attack from Leyvi's right side, trying to bite him.

"NOW!" Leyvi signaled. He held his right wrist with his left hand and started charging his Qi into the fist

Suddenly, multiple rings of fire appeared in the path of the Komodo Dragon's attack and trapped its mouth, preventing it from biting Leyvi.

Anda was sweating bullets trying to hold the fire rings together with her mental strength. A high-level demonic beast was too strong, she wouldn't be able to last longer.

The Demonic Komodo Dragon was struggling in pain from the heat, it suddenly bent its body and swiped its tail to Anda who was at the cave's intersection, however, Mr. Bison was there to intercept the attack.

He rammed the tail away, grew bigger, and blocked the way so the Kodomo Dragon could not attack Anda again.

"Lilian!" Anda shouted. She couldn't hold it anymore, it was Lilian's turn.

The fire rings disappeared, and the lizard roared after its mouth was freed.

ROOAAARR!!

It lunged at Leyvi who was still charging his fist.

Suddenly, a great pressure was exerted on its body and it fell flat on the ground.

The Kodomo Dragon felt like crying. Where were these attacks coming from? Its attack keeps getting interrupted, the tail hurts a lot from the ram, it's not fair, these humans and bison!

While it was being pinned on the ground, it saw countless thorned vines creeping their way towards its way.

ROOAAARR!!

The Demonic Komodo Dragon was now fully strangled by the thorned vines and roared from pain. It started bleeding from all over its body.

Leyvi who acted as the bait from the start, finally finished charging his Qi to the max. He leaped toward the giant lizard and aimed his fist at the eye.

At this time, Anda, Lilian, and Mr. Bison had retreated from this area so they wouldn't get caught in the final attack.

His fist went through the eye of the Demonic Komodo Dragon. When it reached further inside, Leyvi detonated his Qi.

BOOM!

Blood splattered on the wall, the floor, and the ceiling. Leyvi exploded its head from the inside. His body was also full of blood.

"Shit! The blood is poisonous too!" Leyvi realised. The blood felt like a corrosive acid trying to burn and melt his skin. Thankfully, the effect of the Poison Repellent Pill was still there, he cleaned himself from the blood and changed his clothes.

A moment later, Anda, Lilian, and Mr. Bison appeared at the intersection. Leyvi turned and looked at them, smiling.

"Hahaha! We beat a high-level demonic beast!" Leyvi laughed out loud. His laugh echoed through the cave.

Anda looked at the blood all over the place. "Careful, don't touch the blood. It's poison." She reminded Lilian and Mr. Bison.

"Why does it feel like a high-level demonic beast was not that strong?" Leyvi said what he felt.

"Leyvi, don't let this one win make you too cocky okay? If you fought it alone, do you think you can win?" Anda put her hands on her waist and glared at Leyvi with wide eyes.

"Ugh, no...." Leyvi admitted. He wouldn't have the time to charge his attack to the max if he was alone.

"Boss, look at my head. How can you say the lizard was not strong? If that lizard attacked again, I would have bled." Mr. Bison showed a large bump on his forehead.

Leyvi rolled his eyes. This guy looks very tough but he's so afraid of pain.

While Leyvi was interacting with Mr. Bison, Anda and Lilian walked further into the area and found the pool of water. Dense Qi fluctuation could be felt coming from the colorless water. Normal people would have thought it was just a pool of normal water, however, cultivators could instantly tell that it was special from the Qi fluctuation.

"As I suspected!" Anda was excited.

"Sister Anda, what is this water? The Qi is so dense!" Lilian was curious.

"This is a naturally formed Liquid Qi, Spiritual Energy Spring! This is one of the best cultivation resources for a Foundation Building cultivator! The effect is better than using middle-grade spirit stones." Anda explained.

"Wow! It looks like we could reach the Core Formation realm faster than expected. Hahaha!" Leyvi arrived beside Anda.

"So I can't use this?" Lilian started to get disappointed. 

"Sister Lilian, don't worry, a Core Formation can use this too. Leyvi, collect every single drop of this water!" Anda instructed.

"Yes, Madam!" Leyvi saluted. He then spread his spiritual sense around the spring and transferred it into his internal storage room.

"Huh? What is that?" Leyvi saw something at the bottom of the spring.
