Sensing the dark aura emanating from the creature, Su Wen suddenly felt a surge of excitement.
"Aunt Ye, don't leave just yet. Let's capture that tiger."
"That is a Dark Demon Tiger, likely the very one we were looking for. Why capture it? You already have your Spirit Ring, and besides, it is indeed a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast."
"Let's catch it first. I have a plan that will overturn the theories of Spirit Masters."
Ye Yuan'er looked at him with a strange expression; this little guy was definitely cooking up some mischief again.
She did not refuse, transforming into a streak of flame as she charged toward the Dark Demon Tiger.
"Roar!"
Seeing the intruder flying through its territory and charging straight at it, the Dark Demon Tiger felt provoked.
It let out an angry roar, unleashing a powerful sonic wave.
"Heh, it even has mental-based abilities!"
The nine Spirit Rings on Ye Yuan'er's body lit up instantly.
As her fourth Spirit Ring flashed, hundreds of firebirds appeared in the void.
Chapter 38: Hunyuan Immortal Herb
The moment the hundred firebirds appeared, the entire sky seemed to ignite, casting a fiery red glow over the ground below.
The brilliant, crimson tail feathers of the firebirds burned with a terrifying, scorching heat.
A flicker of human-like fear appeared in the Dark Demon Tiger's eyes.
It seemed it hadn't expected the human who trespassed into its territory to be a Title Douluo.
It turned and fled.
The hundred firebirds swooped down upon it; as some landed on the ground, rolling waves of searing flames formed a sea of high-temperature fire at a terrifying speed.
The Dark Demon Tiger dodged the firebirds' attacks back and forth, but it could not withstand their overwhelming numbers.
As the firebirds slammed into its body, its fur ignited, followed immediately by a series of explosions.
The Dark Demon Tiger's body was blasted dozens of meters away.
It let out a shrill, miserable roar.
Just as it tried to drag its body up to stand, Ye Yuan'er arrived before it, stepped onto its back, and knocked it unconscious with a single punch.
"Aunt Ye, so cool!"
Watching Ye Yuan'er resolve the situation so cleanly and efficiently, Su Wen couldn't help but offer some flattery.
Ye Yuan'er proudly lifted her chin, but when she heard Su Wen add another sentence, an awkward expression appeared on her face: "Aunt Ye, the forest seems to be on fire."
Ye Yuan'er: "..."
Ye Yuan'er extinguished the surrounding flames. Having won the fight, her confidence swelled once more, and she prepared to spend the night in a tent with Su Wen before heading back the next day.
While Ye Yuan'er was setting up the tent, Su Wen took the opportunity to examine the Immortal Herb he had harvested.
Among them, one Hunyuan Immortal Herb was particularly special.
He had used the Silk Tulip to sense it while searching.
Whenever he was near the Hunyuan Immortal Herb, the Silk Tulip would emit a faint glow.
The greatest ability of this Immortal Herb was to enhance mental power and spirit power, but it possessed another ability not even recorded in the Immortal Herb Catalog: the power to assist in the condensation of a Spirit Core.
"I never expected to find something from tens of thousands of years in the future ahead of schedule. It's a good thing I recognize it; otherwise, consuming it casually would be a waste. It's just that there is currently no known method to condense a Spirit Core. If I could find a good-tempered Fierce Beast to ask, perhaps I could help Aunt Ye possess a Spirit Core of her own."
"Little Wen, it's set up, come... oh? What kind of Immortal Herb is that?"
Seeing Su Wen holding an Immortal Herb that was pure white like jade, Ye Yuan'er's eyes brightened slightly: "It's quite pretty."
"Aunt Ye, this Immortal Herb is very useful, but it cannot be consumed right now... You need to hurry up and cultivate."
"Later on, we will head to the Far North or the Lake of Life."
Su Wen put the herb away and patted her shoulder with a serious, earnest expression.
Watching him lecture her on cultivation like a little adult, Ye Yuan'er felt both amused and exasperated.
The world had turned upside down!
She grabbed Su Wen and ruffled his hair vigorously in her arms.
Then, she headed toward the tent.
"Just be your aunt's little pillow, be a good boy!"
As the morning sun rose on the second day, A Fire Phoenix burning with flames soared out of the Sunset Forest.
Before leaving this place, Su Wen had Ye Yuan'er grab a few more thousand-year fox spirits along the way.
"Senior Brother!"
Two days later, just as Su Wen and Ye Yuan'er walked out of the Elder Hall, they saw Hu Liena there as well.
Hu Liena trotted over, her pupils shining with light: "Senior Brother, have you obtained your Spirit Ring?"
Seeing Su Wen nod, Hu Liena clasped her hands together, her face full of joy: "Nana congratulates Senior Brother on becoming a Grand Spirit Master."
"Nana, why are you here?"
Su Wen patted her head, and she lowered it slightly, squinting her eyes with a look of enjoyment appearing at the corners of her mouth.
"I felt that Senior Brother was about to return, so I wanted to come and see. I didn't expect to run into you right as you got back; Nana is truly lucky."
Ye Yuan'er snorted softly from the side; this really was a little fox spirit, her voice sounding almost cloying to the bone.
"Aunt Ye."
Only then did Hu Liena remember that Lingyuan Douluo was also nearby, and a faint blush involuntarily rose on her pretty face.
Ye Yuan'er nodded casually and immediately walked toward the house.
Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly hugged Su Wen's arm, swaying it from side to side:
"Senior Brother, Nana went to find Teacher and wanted to go to the Spirit Master Academy with you, but Teacher won't let me go to the academy until I obtain my second Spirit Ring... But Nana has only just broken through to level eighteen. Senior Brother, could you go talk to Teacher for me, please..."
"No need to talk about it, Senior Brother will help you break through. Let's go inside and eat some treasure!"
"Senior Brother, I think I've become immune to the treasures; I feel like eating more won't have much effect anymore."
Hu Liena followed Su Wen into the room and closed the door behind them.
The matter of the treasures was a secret between her and her Senior Brother, one that even their teacher didn't know about.
Well, Aunt Ye knew.
Hu Liena watched Ye Yuan'er walk into the bathroom, and the sound of running water soon came from inside.
Joy appeared in the depths of her eyes.
Every time she was with her Senior Brother, as long as Ye Yuan'er was present, Hu Liena could always feel an invisible pressure.
With her gone, Hu Liena felt she could do many things.
"Today's treasure is different from the previous ones."
Su Wen took out an Immortal Herb, a combination of a red lotus and pink stamens; touching the petals, one could feel a burning sensation throughout.
"Nana, this is called a Cinnabar Red Lotus. It counts as an Immortal Herb. You suck on the stamens, then swallow the petals, and use your spirit power to refine it slowly. If all goes well, you might be able to obtain a Spirit Ring directly after absorbing it, or your martial spirit might even undergo a transformation."
"It's that powerful!"
Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she reached out both hands to carefully take it.
Such a powerful treasure—isn't this a great treasure!
And it's so beautiful, too!
"Hurry up."
Su Wen flicked her forehead.
"Nana knows!"
Hu Liena sat down immediately, without the slightest hint of suspicion.
She followed her Senior Brother's instructions and swallowed the Immortal Herb.
Once the entire Immortal Herb was consumed, Hu Liena felt a force flowing through her body.
She mobilized her spirit power and began to refine this energy earnestly.
"Heh, Xiao Wen, you really are generous!"
Half an incense stick of time passed, and Hu Liena had not yet finished absorbing it.
Ye Yuan'er walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing Hu Liena's situation, she knew exactly what was going on.
She pursed her lips, feeling somewhat displeased.
"Aunt Ye, there are plenty of Immortal Herbs anyway; they're just gathering dust with me!"
"Right, Aunt Ye, come over here for a second."
Seeing that everything was going smoothly for Hu Liena, Su Wen stopped paying attention to her.
He walked into the courtyard and took the Dark Demon Tiger out of his Soul Tool.
