Ye Tian said, "If Earth Immortals are like strong, adult men, then Human Immortals are like toddlers just learning to walk."
Ren Ping gasped, "The gap is that big?"
Ye Tian asked, "You're in charge of the mysterious department. Do you have any detailed information on any Earth Immortals?"
Ren Ping shook his head. "No. Even information on Human Immortals is scarce. If there is any, it's just simple intelligence."
Ye Tian explained, "That's it. Human Immortals are both human and immortal, but they merely push the human body's capabilities to their limits. Earth Immortals, however, can truly be called immortals. They possess immense power that transcends species."
He gestured to the courtyard. "The power of a Human Immortal is like this courtyard, only this large. Earth Immortals are different; their power encompasses the vast area outside this courtyard."
Ren Ping inquired, "If Earth Immortals are so powerful, why haven't they intervened in the historical progression of humanity?"
Ye Tian chuckled. "Once you become an Earth Immortal, worldly power holds much less importance for you."
After a few more words, they sat in the living room. Ren Ping brought out a Go board, and they played a few games.
Time quickly passed to noon. Ye Tian put down a stone and said, "They're here."
He stood up and opened the door. A dark figure scaled the wall and dropped down. It was a North American man, about 1.78 meters tall, with tanned skin, long hair, and dressed in cowboy attire.
"You knew I was coming?" the North American asked. His eyes were light blue, emitting a faint glow under the light.
Ye Tian replied, "I also know you're here to kill me."
The North American stated, "Since you already know, there's no need for further discussion."
He suddenly pulled out a gun and fired.
As his gun pointed at Ye Tian, the latter tilted his head slightly. The bullet grazed his face and hit the doorframe.
The moment Ye Tian dodged, the man moved. A dagger flashed like lightning towards Ye Tian's neck.
Without even looking, Ye Tian punched the North American in the face. The man grunted, crashed heavily to the ground, blood pouring from his nostrils.
After the punch, Ye Tian stared at the man. After a few seconds, the man let out a roar, and his body began to mutate. His face contorted, resembling a wolf's, and claws grew from his fingers.
Ye Tian took out golden needles and quickly inserted them into the man's body. By the time the man fully transformed into a wolf-like humanoid, he was already pierced by dozens of needles. The giant wolf lay on the ground, unable to move, panting heavily.
Ren Ping also walked out, took one look, and exclaimed, "Is this a werewolf?"
Ye Tian took out a straw, pierced the man's artery, and the blood spurted out, collected in a basin.
After draining half a basin of blood, the werewolf became extremely weak. His body gradually reverted to human form. Due to the significant blood loss, his face was pale, and his eyes were vacant.
Ren Ping asked, "Leader, why are you draining his blood?"
Ye Tian dipped a finger in the blood and closed his eyes to sense it. After half a minute, he said, "When this werewolf transforms, his blood releases certain medicinal properties. This is good stuff."
Ren Ping blinked in surprise. "Good stuff?"
Ye Tian nodded. "Find a place to lock him up. Whenever he transforms into a werewolf, draw some of his blood."
Ren Ping nodded, called his subordinates, and had the werewolf confined for future blood collection.
After dealing with the werewolf, Ye Tian returned to Jiuhua Mountain Villa with half a basin of blood.
He poured the blood into another large basin and added half a basin of clean water. Then, he placed his palms into the blood and circulated his internal energy. Soon, all the blood cells broke down, releasing their cellular fluid.
Subsequently, certain special properties within the cellular fluid began to adhere to his hands. After about half an hour, he removed his hands and submerged them in a basin of clean water. He vibrated his hands a few times, washing away the adsorbed medicinal properties.
Finally, he boiled the water containing the medicinal properties in a pot. When the water evaporated, a light blue powder, about two to three grams, remained at the bottom of the pot.
Lin Ziyi looked at the powder and asked, "Tian Ge, what is this?"
Ye Tian replied, "It's a medicine that can stimulate the human body's potential. With this and other ingredients, I can develop a potion to temper the immortal body."
