The little white tiger also seemed to have sensed something. It whined mournfully as it came to its mother's side, wanting to prop up its mother using its small head. But the white tiger did not react in the slightest.
Nanfeng Zhirou's tears poured out once again when she saw the situation. The awe of a tiger presently earlier was all gone.
Such an emotional woman!
Ye Yuan sighed and directly sat down on the spot, swallowing a medicinal pill to begin recovering.
The sword driving technique was also a divine soul secret art with extremely powerful might. It was just that it was still somewhat forceful for the current Ye Yuan. Just using it for a round trip just now already severely overdrew his essence energy and soul strength.
After adjusting his condition for some time and waking up, Ye Yuan discovered that the little white tiger was currently circling around him.
Seeing Ye Yuan look over, the little white tiger wagged its tail and tunneled into Ye Yuan's bosom.
"I'm perplexed. You don't even want him, so why does this little white tiger stick to you so?" Nanfeng Zhirou said very defiantly.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is charisma! I was born with the demeanor of a sovereign and can attract countless others to follow me. Yii . . . This little white tiger . . . is not normal!"
Just as Ye Yuan was blowing his own trumpet, his expression changed.
Chapter 160. Divine Beast Progeny! |
"What is it? Is there something wrong with the little white tiger?" Nanfeng Zhirou's heart plummeted as she quickly asked.
Ye Yuan did not reply her and just turned the little white tiger all over to inspect several times and also used divine sense to investigate. His expression became increasingly solemn.
Nanfeng Zhirou was an anxious person. Seeing Ye Yuan mess around for so long and refusing to say anything, and his expression becoming uglier, she could not help asking anxiously, "Just what is going on? Talk! Seriously, you'll be the death of me! He won't die, right?"
Only now did Ye Yuan look at Nanfeng Zhirou as if he was staring at a retard. "What? Die? He couldn't be better!"
Nanfeng Zhirou finally let out a sigh of relief but immediately said huffily, "If he's fine, then what are you pulling that long face for? Deliberately scaring me? Why can't you finish saying everything in one go? Just what happened to him?"
"It can be counted as we picked up a treasure. This little thing has a huge background!" Ye Yuan kept away his serious expression and seemed rather excited as he said.
"Huge background? Isn't it just a little white tiger? What background can it have? If it has backing, then why would it be forced to such an extent by a big black python?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in suspicion.
She looked left and right and could not see just which aspect of this little white tiger was extraordinary.
Ye Yuan sighed and said, "How many times have I told you. Knowledge is power! Why don't you have any progress at all up till now? Without knowledge, even if you entered a treasure mountain, you'll also return empty-handed!"
Nanfeng Zhirou glared. "Are you telling or not? Why do you have so much nonsense?"
"Forget it. I already told you to educate yourself! It's true. That white tiger is just an ordinary white tiger, but this little white tiger is very different! Have you ever heard of the Four Phases Divine Beasts?"
"Of course I heard of that before. The eastern Azure Dragon, the western White . . ." Nanfeng Zhirou was in the midst of talking when she suddenly thought of something and said in astonishment, "This . . . You . . . You aren't about to tell me that this little white tiger is the White Tiger Divine Beast?"
Nanfeng Zhirou was stunned by Ye Yuan that even her words became stammers.
What kind of concept were Divine Beasts? They were the absolute sovereigns of this world!
Possessing the name of a Divine Beast, it was an existence that would surely step into the Deity Realm in the future as long as it did not die!
Ye Yuan casually picked up a little white tiger, and it was the Sovereign of the West, the White Tiger Divine Beast?
Are you kidding?
But Ye Yuan gave a laugh and said, "Of course he isn't a divine beast. However . . . he truly has the bloodline of the White Tiger Divine Beast! It's just that his bloodline is too thin. Wanting to become a divine beast . . . too difficult, way too difficult."
Ye Yuan naturally did not find it nice to say some things. In the Divine Realm, there were numerous demonic beasts that possessed divine beast bloodline. It was just that true pureblooded divine beast bloodline could no longer be found today.
Because in this stretch of heaven and earth, there was no longer the existence of Deity Realm. Naturally, there was also no existence of divine beasts!
Possessing a faint divine beast bloodline, future accomplishments would definitely be extraordinary.
As long as the strength of the bloodline is sufficient, stepping into the Demon Emperor realm was virtually guaranteed!
Demon Emperor realm was equivalent to the human Divine King realm.
Also, the majority of divine beast progenies possessed innate divine abilities. Once they stepped into the Demon Emperor realm, their power would become incredible.
In terms of the Divine Realm's pinnacle battle strength, there was actually not much difference between humans and the demon race.
"But, if he truly possessed divine beast bloodline, even if he doesn't become a divine beast, he should also be very amazing in the future, right?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked.
"Exactly! This little thing also has a name which belongs to itself, the Flowing Light White Tiger! A branch of the White Tiger Divine Beast's progenies! I truly did not expect that an ordinary white tiger could actually give birth to a Flowing Light White Tiger. Looks like this little fellow's ancestral origin is not simple!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.
"A Flowing Light White Tiger? No wonder when he wanted to kill this black python earlier, his speed was so fast. Really akin to a bundle of flowing light."
"En, the Flowing Light White Tiger is renowned for its speed. A mature Flowing Light White Tiger at the bare minimum has the strength of Tier 5, Taking Form! At that point, his speed can compare with flying profound artifacts!" Ye Yuan explained.
"So incredible? Then didn't we acquire a treasure?" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in surprise.
Above spirit artifacts were profound artifacts. The speed of flying profound artifacts was quick to the point it was inconceivable. The speed of Flowing Light White Tigers could compare to flying profound artifacts. One could see the extent of their speed!
Ye Yuan laughed and said, "You're thinking too much. A Flowing Light White Tiger, from newborn to maturity, need at least a thousand years. After he grows up, I'd have long reached the Divine King realm!"
Nanfeng Zhirou curled her mouth and said with disdain, "Keep bragging! Divine King realm even! I've never even heard of what Divine King realm. Utter bullshit!"
Not that Nanfeng Zhirou was ignorant, but because this place, the State of Qin, was too small.
Starting point determines one's horizons. How could the people of the Boundless World know how the realms in the Divine Realm were divided?
If they could rise to a certain realm, their horizons would naturally broaden.
Towards Nanfeng Zhirou's disdain, Ye Yuan just smiled but did not explain. He and Nanfeng Zhirou were simply not on the same level. There was naturally no way of communicating.
"But with me around, his realm might catch up to. Maybe even surpass Yuan Fei's within ten years!" Nanfeng Zhirou said with a smile.
"So fast? You aren't bragging again, are you?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in disbelief.
"When have you ever seen me brag? This little fellow's foundation is much better than Yuan Fei's. As long as I use medicinal pills to supplement, his future accomplishments definitely won't be low. Furthermore, this small fellow has already awoken its bloodline just now. Its future cultivation speed would be very rapid!" Ye Yuan explained.
About this point, Nanfeng Zhirou did not doubt Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan's attainments in the Alchemy Dao had already completely exceeded her understanding. He would frequently pull out medicinal pills that she had never even heard of.
Also, he dared to promise Yuan Fei to let him breakthrough to Tier 4. It was likely not spoken carelessly.
Then would it not be a very effortless thing for him to help a little white tiger?
"Fine, I know that you're amazing! The little white tiger is so adorable. How about we give him a name? Look how white and fluffy he is; why not call him Whitey?" Nanfeng Zhirou directly decided it.
"Roar!"
The little white tiger roared in a low cat-like tone to show its protest. Clearly, it disliked this name.
Nanfeng Zhirou fumed and said, "Humph! Even if you don't like it, you'll have to accept it! It's Whitey!"
"Hmm, when he runs, it looks like a beam of white light. I say . . . call him White Light, how's that?" Ye Yuan was asking the little white tiger.
The little white tiger arched in Ye Yuan's bosom. It was clear that it tacitly approved of this name.
"Haha, then in future, you're called White Light!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
"Humph! You ungrateful tiger! Just now, who was the one fighting hard before managing to keep you? This fellow was prepared to abandon you. He isn't a good person!" Nanfeng Zhirou said crossly.
"Roar!"
What replied her was White Light's angry roar.
"Alright, don't delay any more time here. We still have to search around this Blackwater Ravine. Perhaps there's good stuff! This Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python definitely discovered something to hang on here and not leave," Ye Yuan said as he interrupted Nanfeng Zhirou's provocation.
The pair found a place to bury the white tiger and also retrieved the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python's inner core, then brought White Light into the depths of the Blackwater Ravine.
Chapter 161. Blood Bodhi! |
The two humans and one tiger walked towards the deep parts of the Blackwater Ravine. Roughly after 15 minutes, an enormous cliff in front cut off their path.
"Yii, no path? There isn't even anything good on the way here!" Nanfeng Zhirou said dispiritedly.
Ye Yuan also halted his footsteps. Surveying the surroundings, he also failed to discover anything useful.
This whole road here, he had been paying attention to the surroundings. If there were any natural treasures, it absolutely could not escape his eyes.
But up until now, he also did not have any discovery.
"Could it be that the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python truly just took a liking to this place and wanted to have it to itself? That doesn't make sense! With that big black python's strength, it could totally go into the deeper areas to occupy even better territories. Why did it choose here?" Ye Yuan also remained puzzled after pondering over it.
"Hahaha . . . Didn't you boast that you're all-knowing? To think that you also have times where you stumble! What knowledge is power, now, knowledge has become a popped bubble, right?" Nanfeng Zhirou ridiculed relentlessly.
Towards Ye Yuan's repeated verbal attacks on her being brainless, Nanfeng Zhirou held a deep grudge against it.
Women bore grudges the most. Beautiful women harbored resentment even more!
It was just that every time, Ye Yuan's prediction was all very accurate. Nanfeng Zhirou kept being unable to get a hold of something, so she had no way of retorting.
This time, it was not easy for her to see Ye Yuan shrivel. Nanfeng Zhirou naturally chose to hit a person who is down!
The corner of Ye Yuan's mouth twitched. He had the sort of feeling like he dug a hole for himself to jump into.
However, he kept feeling that his judgment was not wrong. The problem was, where was the natural treasure?
"Ye Yuan, please, next time, don't you . . . yii, White Light, where are you going?"
Nanfeng Zhirou was currently reproving Ye Yuan, but White Light turned into a beam of white light and ran towards the cliff.
Ye Yuan's eye involuntarily lit up when he saw the situation. Could it be that this little fellow knew where the stuff was?
White Light came to the cliff and directly ran upwards, stepping onto a piece of rock, and then left jump, right leap as he scaled up like it was flat ground.
At an extremely high place, White Light's figure flashed, and suddenly vanished!
Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou looked closely and saw that there was actually a little cave there. White Light entered the cave!
"Could there really be something good?" Nanfeng Zhirou muttered to herself.
At this time, she clearly also guessed what White Light went over to do and could not resist quietly cursing, hoping that White Light just went to play. It would be best if it did not find anything.
Even though White Light did not come out yet, not knowing why, Nanfeng Zhirou felt that her face was somewhat burning hot.
"So, it's hidden in such an obscure place. No wonder I couldn't find it even after searching for so long. I didn't think that White Light actually had this sort of ability!" Ye Yuan was also very surprised by White Light's abilities.
Thinking about it, Ye Yuan was also relieved. Most likely, it was fruits or something similar, so White Light smelled it.
Before long, White Light's figure appeared at the entrance once again. Except that this time, his mouth held a tiny object.
White Light clamped down on that tiny object as it ran down the cliff, arriving at Ye Yuan's side.
White Light's mouth held a flower stem. A tiny fruit grew on it. It passed this thing over to Ye Yuan and even wagged its tail in a bid to garner likes, looking rather cute.
Ye Yuan smiled as he petted White Light's little head to show encouragement. He picked up that tiny fruit rather excitedly because he had already recognized this tiny fruit.
"It's actually Blood Bodhi! No wonder that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python is attached to this place. Turns out that it's for this!"
Nanfeng Zhirou was rather embarrassed. But she was unable to resist her curiosity and secretly sized up that tiny thing.
That was a tiny blood-red fruit which did not appear to be very eye-catching. If it were her, most likely when she saw it, she would have treated it like she didn't see it and directly pass it over.
Ye Yuan could not help finding it funny when he saw Nanfeng Zhirou wanting to speak but stopping and her furtive appearance.
Aware that girls are thin-skinned, Ye Yuan also did not agitate her anymore, but explained. "This Blood Bodhi is good stuff! This is a Tier 3 medicinal herb, and it's also exceedingly rare! If that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python swallowed this item, it would most likely directly breakthrough to late-stage Tier 2 demonic beast."
Nanfeng Zhirou saw that Ye Yuan did not have any intention to reverse checkmating her and could not help quietly letting out a sigh of relief. But her mouth still remained stubborn as she said, "I also didn't make you explain!"
"Fine, fine. It's me who likes to show off and just have to explain for you to listen, alright?"
Only then, was Nanfeng Zhirou pleased. But she immediately could not hold back her curiosity, so she asked, "Since this Blood Bodhi is so incredible, why did it not eat this for so long?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Also counts as that fellow being unlucky I guess. If what I predict is right, this Blood Bodhi was not yet ripe before. It maturing was also a matter of these two days. He had yet to eat it when he encountered the white tiger and us, which let us pick up a ready-made freebie. But it would be a reckless waste of God's gift to let it eat this thing like that. Using this to refine a Tier 3 medicinal pill, the Bodhi Pill, it can let Crystal Formation Realm martial artists rise a minor realm unconditionally! Furthermore, there's completely no side-effects!"
Nanfeng Zhirou could not help opening her mouth wide after listening to it all. Unconditionally letting Crystal Formation Realm martial artists rise by a minor realm, just
what kind of concept was this?
For Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, forget about breakthrough a minor realm, even if there were a tiny bit of advancement, it would require the accumulation of time!
Among the State of Qin's Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, apart from the Lord Dean and the Alchemist Association's Lord Wu Daofeng who were at the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm, the rest were all at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm.
Nanfeng Zhirou's father, Nanfeng Yi, who was also the ruler of the State of Qin, had already broken through to the Crystal Formation Realm for over twenty years. However, he still remained at the First Level Crystal Formation Realm.
It was clear just how challenging a matter it was for Crystal Formation Realm martial artists to want to advance a step forward!
There were two high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters in the State of Qin, but they were unable to refine medicinal pills which could allow Crystal Formation Realm martial artists to directly breakthrough a minor realm. Yet, Ye Yuan could!
If Ye Yuan displayed this medicinal pill in front of these people, there would only be two outcomes.
The first was that they kill Ye Yuan, then fight to the bitter end for this single medicinal pill. There was another, which was to follow behind Ye Yuan and hope to obtain his favor so that he would bestow that medicinal pill to him.
Even the two high-rank Alchemy Grandmasters would be unable to remain unperturbed when they see the Bodhi Pill, right?
In reality, when Ye Yuan said he could help Yuan Fei breakthrough to Tier 4, Nanfeng Zhirou still did not have much of a concept, because that was too far away from her.
But to help Crystal Formation Realm martial artists rise a minor realm, the shock this brought her was tremendous.
Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan with eager eyes; an appearance like she was holding back the words at the tip of her tongue.
Ye Yuan laughed out loud and knew what she was thinking of right away. He said, "Relax, this Blood Bodhi can refine at least ten Bodhi Pills. When the time comes, I'll save one for your father!"
