Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

"yue~"

Zhang Hao carried the kayak to the beach, fell to his knees, and spat out several mouthfuls of seawater, even including a couple of strands of seaweed.

By that time, Tao Yu and Cheng Lixue had already built a bonfire on the shore, skewering some fish over it and placing canned beef brought over in the kayaks.

Cheng Lixue's clothes were still somewhat damp and clung to her body in a manner that was subtly attractive. At that moment, she was close to the fire, seemingly intending to dry her clothes that way.

And the change of clothes she had brought were also hung to dry, placed close to the flames to roast.

Her clothes, drying as if a barrier, allowed Tao Yu on the other side to strip to his waist, similarly taking down some clothes for drying.

"Yo, Brother Zhang, you've arrived. Come and warm up by the fire. Take out the clothes from your package too," Tao Yu said while sending Little Black back to watch over the vehicle before he greeted Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao dared not stare too much at his senior sister in her current state, feeling as if his already beautiful and pretty senior sister had grown even more radiant over the past few days, shining brightly.

Bowing his head, he made his way to Tao Yu's side, and then started arranging his supplies.

One had to say that, ultimately, those with inner strength did recover fairly quickly.

After finishing the grilled fish and canned food, Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao had also regained their strength.

"Is this the Peach Blossom Island Master Tao spoke of?"

"I can't be certain, but there are indeed many peach blossoms here. At the very least, we can ascertain this is an island with fresh water," Tao Yu gave a minimal confirmation, ensuring their survival was possible.

If any problems arose later on, he would practice his boxing here while shuttling back and forth to the real world to bring over some materials.

A hovercraft was too expensive, but a small motorboat suitable for the sea should be alright, right? Controlling its size to make sure it could be brought over was sufficient.

And clearly, since this was the closest island they could spot, there was indeed a high probability it was the place the Sun siblings had found before.

Soon enough, some people followed the cookfire smoke to their location, two mute servants.

On seeing everyone by the fire, they started gesturing abruptly and emphatically.

"When Shiqing first found this place, she only discovered these mute servants as well. It wasn't until a fisherman was found that they learned it was Peach Blossom Island. The Pharmacist was likely not on the island back then. It's uncertain what the situation is now," Tao Yu thought to himself, recalling the information he had seen.

"It seems they are mute. What place is this exactly? Their clothes seem normal though," Cheng Lixue observed the two mute servants with surprise. However, seeing their traditional attire, she felt somewhat relieved.

He hadn't deceived her; this place indeed seemed closer to the world they originated from.

Nonetheless, Cheng Lixue had harbored some slight anticipation at first, hoping this world was the same as her own. Now, however, she felt a mix of fear and turmoil, caught up in internal conflict and self-accusation.

Tao Yu didn't understand sign language, and had no way to communicate with them, having no idea what they were trying to convey.

"I think they might be asking us to leave," Cheng Lixue said uncertainly.

The title of the Eccentric Huang was not wrongly attributed; although he had personal charm, his way of doing things was indeed controversial—his reputation in the jianghu wasn't that good.

But the Pharmacist himself didn't care about these reputations, so it wasn't the case that he would provide shelter to people who suffered shipwrecks—it all depended on his mood.

He wouldn't accept moral coercion.

According to the information Shiqing had made public last time, she hadn't encountered the island's master. It was uncertain whether he was on the island now or not.

At any rate, these servants didn't seem to be in charge.

"If it was in the early days, Zhou Botong would have been here, but it's completely unknown as to when that was. There's also the Qimen Dunjia on the island, which makes it easy to get lost," Tao Yu pondered.

However, at that moment, Tao Yu's mind grew tense as Spirit Perception detected a hint of threat, and he swiftly turned his gaze towards the interior of the island.

He saw a figure, tall and slender, elegant and distinguished, dressed in Ao robes with matching cloth wrapped around the head, who unknowingly had appeared under a peach tree, silently watching them—the person had a strange mask covering the face.

If it hadn't been for Spirit Perception alerting him, he would have not heard even the slightest rustle.

Upon seeing Tao Yu turn his head, the figure also lightly uttered, "Eh~".

"Interesting, he actually noticed me."

A slightly husky voice sounded, causing Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao, who were initially focused on the mute servant, to be startled and turn around together.

They were also people of the martial world. To have someone get so close without noticing was astonishing!

This even made the two of them instinctively grip their weapons.

"Don't move rashly. This is a senior martial artist of the jianghu. Show some respect."

Tao Yu scolded them when he saw their actions.

At the very least, his Spirit Perception had warned him that this pharmacist from the Five Greats was definitely capable of threatening him.

Inner Strength's powerful armor-piercing attribute might not seem as exaggerated in terms of physical damage, but its destructive power against the human body was not the slightest bit weak.

An attack from a master of the pharmacist's level was something he likely couldn't withstand.

But...

It wasn't certain he could handle Tao Yu's burst of power either...

Tao Yu, with confidence in his heart, didn't feel much pressure even though he had just entered this world and encountered a peerless figure of this realm. Instead, he carefully observed the person before him.

Although wearing a mask, the graying temples and the voice indicated that it was indeed the elderly pharmacist.

At least it was the time of Divine Sculpture, and very likely even the period of Divine Sculpture's later years.

If Huang Rong had already married and had children, then the current mood of the pharmacist would be much better compared to when Mei Chaofeng and the others had just fled.

Therefore, Tao Yu took the initiative to clasp his fist and say,

"I ask the senior to forgive us. We unfortunately drifted here after encountering a sea wave, so..."

"Strange, this time the transdimensional traveler learned Central Plains speech quite fast. Kid, put on your clothes before you speak."

The pharmacist identified Tao Yu's identity in one sentence, which didn't cause Tao Yu too much panic.

Since he had already fallen into the Abyss, the fragment of the world he was in must also have undergone some corresponding changes. The old pharmacist was known to be knowledgeable about heavens above and earth below in this era. If he had encountered extraterrestrial visitors before and had now seen the kayak, canned beef, and the clothes Tao Yu put up, jumping to conclusions would be normal.

"Ahem, you misunderstand, senior. Although we come from beyond this realm, we are not any demon from beyond. I wonder if the senior has seen any Pioneer companions of ours?"

Tao Yu tried to probe a little with his response.

It was clear that the old pharmacist was aware of visitors from the skies, but it was unknown if he knew they came from other worlds or if there were Pioneers who had made their way here.

Such a long distance and having to cross the sea, when there were many interests to be exploited right next to the base, could there still be others traveling thousands of miles to compete for business?

However, it didn't rule out that some newcomers might have been thrown close by upon entering.

"You seem to have a good grasp of the situation at hand. Follow them later..."

The old pharmacist seemed unwilling to behold Tao Yu shirtless any longer. With a light tap of his foot, he drifted away like a falling leaf.

That elegant movement made Tao Yu's face show a hint of envy.

Lightness skills, he too must find a good one to learn!

Cheng Lixue and Zhang Hao next to him widened their eyes even more,

"How is this possible, that there is such lightness skill in the world!"

"Could this person have reached a divine state, becoming a heavenly immortal on land? Is this an overseas fairy island?"

For the two of them, who had average strength, just a casual display from the old pharmacist was shocking, beyond what they could even conceive of in their wildest imaginations about the usages of lightness skill...

This genuine and unfeigned 'admiration' caused the old pharmacist, who had drifted away, to also hang a slight smile on his lips.

He had a quirky temperament. If it were those who were sycophantic and fawning, he would have found it quite detestable.

But with his discerning eye, he could easily judge that the two were genuinely astonished, their emotions coming from the bottom of their hearts.

Such admiration was very pleasing to him as well...
