2: Chapter 2: Above are tigers, below are Sichuan and Chongqing tyrannical dragons.

[Looking at this stunningly beautiful woman, you feel a wave of trepidation and anxiety.]

[This is a world of cultivation, where strength is respected. You are merely a small Qi Refining Stage 3 Cultivator, yet the spiritual pressure she emits is even more terrifying than that of the Sect Elders!]

[Which Sect Elder isn't a powerhouse at the Golden Core Stage or higher? Could she be even stronger than the Golden Core Stage?]

[Thinking of this, your legs cannot help but tremble, and a chill runs down your spine...]

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

The cold and stunningly beautiful woman, seeing Su Fan decisively stop in his tracks and not dare to take another step forward, kept her beautiful eyes closed and asked coldly.

"Who are you, then?"

"Why are you here?"

Su Fan couldn't help but want to ask.

However, he ultimately suppressed the questions in his heart and honestly answered her question.

"Senior, I am a medicinal Disciple of the Jianren Sect. I was ordered by my master to go out and gather herbs. I did not expect to encounter a Middle Stage Red Sun Tiger. I was no match for it, and in my panic, I fell down here."

The First Stage of a Yao Beast is equivalent to the Qi Refinement Stage of a human Cultivator.

A Middle Stage First Stage Yao Beast is equivalent to a human Cultivator at about the sixth or seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage. However, human Cultivators are generally more intelligent than low-level Yao Beasts. Logically, a Qi Refining Stage 3 Cultivator should be able to defeat a Middle Stage Red Sun Tiger, or even if they couldn't, they wouldn't panic and fall off a cliff...

However, because he had not cultivated any good Cultivation Technique and didn't even know the most basic Sword Flight of the Jianren Sect, coupled with his young age of only sixteen and his lack of worldly experience, he was unable to defeat that Red Sun Tiger.

The woman in purple slowly opened her eyes again, glanced at Su Fan with cold eyes, and seeing the expression and wounds on his face, she seemed to believe him about seventy or eighty percent. She then closed her eyes again and said indifferently: "You may go. You are not allowed to tell outsiders that this Seat is here! Otherwise, this Seat will wipe the Jianren Sect off the face of the earth with a flick of a finger!!!"

"Wipe the Jianren Sect off the face of the earth?"

Hearing these words, Su Fan thought to himself, 'I'm afraid you don't have such great ability. After all, the Sect Master of the Jianren Sect is also a rare powerhouse at the Nascent Soul Stage. You speak as if you have reached the Soul Transformation Stage...'

'No, could she really be a Soul Transformation Stage Venerable?'

...

Thinking of this, Su Fan felt a chill run down his spine and a wave of lingering fear. He immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "Senior, I don't even know who you are, so how could I go out and talk nonsense? Please rest assured, Senior. I've made a fool of myself today. If I were to talk about what happened here, I would inevitably be ridiculed by my fellow Disciples..."

Before he could finish speaking, the woman's expression changed, and her beautiful eyes glared at him:

"Noisy!"

This glare carried three parts Killing Intent.

Su Fan immediately stopped speaking, did not dare to continue, and ran out of the cave...

Escaping with his life was what mattered...

If she really was a Soul Transformation Stage Venerable, destroying him would be a matter of a flick of a finger, and wiping out the Jianren Sect wouldn't be bragging either...

It's better to avoid provoking such a temperamental Venerable.

Thinking of this, Su Fan quickened his pace, following the light shining into the cave, and ran out with all his might, wanting to leave this place as quickly as possible...

As for any Opportunity, or becoming an apprentice, or even some romance, he didn't even dare to think about it; only web novels would write like that.

Although he knew very well that he was in a simulation, he wasn't afraid of dying in the simulation—it was just like playing a game, if you die, the simulation ends—but... he was afraid of pain!

He was afraid of dying after suffering all kinds of pain...

When he walked to the mouth of the cave, bright light shone in his face. Looking at the outside world, a look of relief appeared on Su Fan's face.

"Finally made it out..."

But this burst of joy lasted less than three seconds before a terrifying realization made him feel desperate.

He was shocked to discover that he was in the middle of a cliff. The opposite side was also a cliff, and beneath his feet, looking down, was a bottomless abyss, like a bottomless black hole, emitting a terrifying aura...

Looking up, there was still at least thirty zhang to go to reach the top. The steep cliff wall was as straight as if cut by a knife, as if split by the heavens with a giant axe, making one feel hopeless.

Just then, he faintly heard a beast roar.

Roar—woo—!

The beast's roar gradually became clearer.

"It's that Red Sun Tiger!"

"It's over, it's over! There's a Red Sun Tiger above, and a bottomless abyss below, and I don't know Sword Flight. What should I do?"

Su Fan rubbed his hands, his face full of anxiety, shouting in his heart that he was done for.

Standing in place and struggling for a long time, he looked into the cave, thinking, 'If only this beautiful Senior could take me up...'

Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Stage can master Sword Flight, and this Senior, looking at her, is above the Nascent Soul Stage; flying up would be a breeze for her.

But he had just witnessed the beautiful Senior's attitude.

It was already good enough that she didn't kill him.

Speaking rashly, he was afraid it would anger her.

...

[The more you think about it, the more anxious you become]

[Until nightfall, you still haven't made a decision]

[Cold winds blow against your body]

[The wind here seems to carry an Ice attribute Spell; it is very, very cold. Even your body, which is several times stronger than a Mortal's at the Qi Refining Stage 3, cannot withstand it...]

[You inexplicably think of things in the real world. Since you were a child, you have been afraid of the cold, but your family was poor and couldn't afford a down jacket, and the school uniform you wore was thin. You don't know why you would think of these things. In the cold wind, you keep shivering and letting your mind wander...]

[By late night, you feel more and more unable to bear it. In a moment of distraction, you subconsciously walk slowly into the cave...]

[You even forgot to consider the consequences of angering that Senior...]

Inside the cave, many torches had been lit at some point, presumably by that beautiful Senior. This not only made the cave as bright as day but also made Su Fan feel that it had suddenly become warmer.

"Cough, cough..."

Just as Su Fan walked into the cave, he saw a shocking scene.

He saw that the woman in purple was still sitting upright. After coughing twice, she actually spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood landed on the ground, and her lips were also stained red, adding a bit of bewitching beauty...

"Senior..."

Su Fan stood two zhang away from the woman and asked cautiously: "You seem to be injured?"

This sentence, clearly one of concern, seemed to have angered the woman instead.

The woman in purple suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Su Fan fiercely: "Why haven't you left yet!? Do you want to die!? This Seat will count to three. One, two..."

Su Fan ran out!

"Huff, huff..."

Running out of the cave, Su Fan breathed heavily, blowing in the cold wind.

He had run too fiercely just now. Even though he was at the Qi Refining Stage 3 and his physical fitness was several times stronger than a Mortal's, his breathing was still ragged...

It was mainly the spiritual pressure of the woman in purple; it was too powerful, having a feeling that made one want to kneel down and worship...

He had originally planned to hide in the cave to avoid the cold wind, but he didn't expect her to come out with a "I'm counting to three" threat...

As for the plan to beg her to take him up, it seems to have fallen through, as expected.

Sigh, what should I do?
