"The True Sun Fire is complete. According to Elder Hei, there’s a Heavenly Demon Flower deep in Star Spirit Mountain." Ye Tian retracted the fla at his fingertips back into his dantian and said, "I need to hurry and get it before anyone else does."
Actually, Ye Tian’s concern was unnecessary. The Heavenly Demon Flower, being the most critical ingredient for the Calamity Spirit Pill, is of the third-rank and surely guarded by a third-rank Demon Beast. The entire Star Sect might not be enough to protect it from a single bite of the beast, so there was little chance of anyone getting there before him.
"Xiaozi, I’m going inside to pick a special flower. Please wait here obediently, okay?" Ye Tian gently patted Xiaozi’s head and spoke softly.
"No, no, I won’t let you go. There are Primordial Martial Realm beasts inside. You can’t beat them."
"I won’t let you go. You’re my only brother left. I don’t want you to die."
Xiaozi clung tightly to a corner of Ye Tian’s robe, her body trembling with fear. Her tone was full of pleading.
"Don’t be afraid, don’t worry, I’m really strong," Ye Tian felt a warm current flow through his heart, comforting the pure and kind Xiaozi.
"Fei Niu, take good care of Xiaozi. If anything happens to her, I’ll turn you into roast beef."
Ye Tian grabbed the horn of the Heavenly Blue Divine Bull with one hand and pulled it to Xiaozi’s side, causing it to moo in protest.
"I’m leaving now. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon."
Ye Tian didn’t want to bring her along, as there were too many dangers deep within Star Spirit Mountain. If things got too intense and she got hurt, it would be terrible.
"Little Bull, I know you’re strong. Please help Brother, okay?" Xiaozi said worriedly to the Heavenly Blue Divine Bull. "Why aren’t you going?"
"Moo~~~"
The Heavenly Blue Divine Bull looked around disdainfully, its steel-like tail slapping the ground, as if to say, "Little girl, don’t worry. The master alone can sweep through these mountains."
A blind girl’s sensitivity to emotions had long surpassed that of most Martial Artists. She felt the imnse confidence the Heavenly Blue Divine Bull had in Ye Tian, and her heart eased slightly.
...
"Rustle, rustle~~"
A young man in white erged from a dense thicket, holding sothing that resembled Earth’s lingzhi but was larger and of a yellow earth color. However, its spiritual energy was very rich; it was evidently a top-tier first-rank spiritual dicine, worth at least a thousand spirit stones at an auction.
"So this is Earth Ganoderma? Lucky that stupid bear couldn’t beat and gave it up willingly." Ye Tian’s lips curved into a small smile as he looked at the Earth Ganoderma in his hand, satisfied.
This Earth Ganoderma was guarded by a black bear of the Mortal Martial Realm. Fortunately, Ye Tian released just a hint of his aura, scaring it into offering the Earth Ganoderma.
From another direction ca booming sounds. The Demon Beasts on the outskirts were all looking in fear at the disturbance, where a giant black bear was furiously smashing a giant tree. Handprints were clearly visible on the trunk, and a trace of unresolved terror lingered in its eyes.
"Roar, roar, roar~~~"
The black bear scratched its head and then dove into a thicket, disappearing in an instant.
After a while, Ye Tian continued deeper into Star Spirit Mountain.
As he walked, suddenly, in the depths of the forest, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding trees shook gently. Occasionally, violent roars echoed.
Ye Tian stopped and, with a curious expression, headed towards the source of the sound. The tremors grew stronger until he finally saw an incredibly ferocious beast accompanied by several smaller Demon Beasts. It was huge, about seven or eight ters tall.
"What a coincidence, another encounter, and they’re all bears," Ye Tian leaped like a kangaroo and landed on a tree, observing from above.
"Bang, bang, bang~~~~"
"Help deal with this black bear; its strength is imnse."
"And there’s this giant lizard. At least it has Mortal Martial Realm cultivation. The ntor’s requirent is way too high!"
"They want us to kill these Demon Beasts! Ah! Soone save !"
Indeed, among those challenging Ye Tian earlier in the morning, Xiong Dali was now battling Demon Beasts alongside four other Heavenly Rank disciples, struggling desperately.
"The black bear’s strength and defense are formidable, but its eyes are its weakest point. You keep attacking its body and, in your fear, forget its vulnerability."
"This is a major taboo for Martial Artists. You disciples are far worse than the last batch."
Suddenly, a cold, jade-like voice echoed in their ears. With a waft of fragrance, like lightning, the black bear was struck down in an instant.
"Such a beautiful woman. Is she a Star Sect ntor?"
The disciples were stunned, and even the Demon Beasts were shocked by her beauty.
"It’s ntor Xun Yue. She’s so beautiful. Every ti I see her, I feel like I’m falling in love."
"Snap out of it! You’re in a fight, or you’ll face sect punishnt."
As the Martial Artists admired the woman’s beauty, she angrily shouted, releasing a surge of green spiritual energy.
"Yes, yes."
The male Martial Artists snapped back to reality, their faces flaming red, and quickly turned back to the fight.
The woman seed to sense Ye Tian’s presence. Her bright, star-like eyes were as cold and indifferent as the Jiuyou Ice Cave, devoid of emotion.
The woman, around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, wore a pure white gown. Her black hair cascaded straight down to her hips.
Her face was stunningly beautiful, dreamlike, with eyes so entrancing yet icy cold that one glance felt like being in a dream, reflective yet detached.
Why is she smiling at ? Could it be because I’m too handso?"
Ye Tian touched his face and muttered to himself.
Just then, a soft breeze gently lifted the hem of her skirt and her hair, making the mont feel suspended in ti, so peaceful and serene, with an ethereal beauty.
But one sentence shattered the beautiful scene. She glared sharply and said, "You there, get down here. Don’t even think about slacking off."
"Or I’ll deduct five hundred points from you."
Her voice was as cold as an ice cone, piercing to the bone, with a maturity that belied her age. Once she finished speaking, Ye Tian smiled faintly and slowly descended from the tree.
"It’s you!!!"
The first to shout was Xiong Dali. At this mont, he watched Ye Tian with respect, the morning’s lesson and the sense of helpless despair still fresh in his mind.
"What’s up, Xiong Dali, do you know him?"
The woman’s cold eyes fixed on Ye Tian, her brows furrowed slightly, wondering why the sect would send an Earth Rank Martial Artist to train with them.
"nto...ntor, he...he’s a newly admitted disciple."
