"Brother Lin Yun, this is bad. The Lei and Xie Families have put out a bounty looking for clues about the Fire Python Tiger."
Qing Tan and Lin Dong rushed into the courtyard, saying anxiously.
"It's been over two months, and they still haven't given up." Lin Yun frowned. The Lei and Xie Families had been searching for over two months without finding the Fire Python Tiger. He had thought they would give up, but he didn't expect them to directly issue a bounty.
Lin Dong said, "Yeah, and the bounty reward is quite generous."
"Just providing information about the Fire Python Tiger can get you a Third-Grade Spiritual Medicine."
"If you can find the location of the Fire Python Tiger, they are even willing to offer a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine."
"Many hunters heard this news and have entered the forest to search."
"Oh!" Lin Yun's eyes suddenly lit up.
He felt this was an opportunity to fleece them.
Besides him, no one else could see the Fire Python Tiger.
Just in time, as the three little ones grew up, Lin Yun was preparing to take them out for some training. Demonic beasts definitely needed to see blood to maintain their wildness and grow better.
He also needed some actual combat to improve. Long periods of arduous cultivation were also boring and suppressive, which was not conducive to breaking through realms.
"I have an idea..."
Lin Yun and Lin Dong immediately began discussing.
The next day, Lin Yun put the Tiger Ying family into the alchemy furnace, then went to the Martial Arts Hall and picked out a Second-Grade spear technique martial art, the Prairie Fire Spear Technique.
The Lin family didn't have many spear technique martial arts; this was the best one they had.
Taking the martial art, Lin Yun entered the back mountain of the Lin family.
Qingyang Town was surrounded by mountains on all sides. Lin Yun entering from here could also circle around to the forest where the hunting activity took place.
Entering the depths of the forest, Lin Yun began his mental probing.
Using this process, he cultivated the Beast Taming Art.
There were still some Soul Nourishing Pills left from before, so Lin Yun wasn't worried about the consumption of mental energy.
When he probed a suitable target, Lin Yun would release the Tiger Ying family and let them go hunt.
The three little ones had grown up and could be allowed to move freely.
Those in the Body Tempering Realm were left to the three little ones.
Those in the Earthly Yuan Realm were left to Lin Yun.
Those in the Heavenly Yuan Realm were left to Tiger Ying.
However, Heavenly Yuan Realm demonic beasts were rare, so Tiger Ying basically had no chance to strike.
None of the hunted demonic beasts were wasted. Those with good meat were roasted and eaten, and the leftovers were given to Red Spirit to be refined into Blood Pills before being eaten.
Besides demonic beasts, spiritual medicines were also swept up. Red Spirit could sense the aura of spiritual medicines, so any spiritual medicines within a few hundred meters of where Lin Yun passed all went into Lin Yun's Cosmos Sack.
Five days later, Lin Yun arrived at the area near the hunting activity and encountered an Earthly Yuan Realm White Wolf.
"Prairie Fire Spear Technique!"
Lin Yun held the Mountain Piercing Spear and quickly thrust it out. A cold light shot out, like a spark of fire, rapidly spreading like a prairie fire, as fast as lightning. The heavy and sharp spear tip directly pierced through the White Wolf's body.
[Task: Cultivate Prairie Fire Spear Technique to perfection. Reward: Spear Technique Talent (Beginner). Completed, claim?]
"Claim!"
As the spear technique talent integrated, Lin Yun felt different holding the Mountain Piercing Spear in his hand. The spear felt like it had become a part of his body, very familiar.
"Cultivating Second-Grade martial arts is indeed much faster now," Lin Yun sighed. Reaching perfection in five days, besides him, probably no one in the entire Qingyang Town could do it.
The Mountain Piercing Spear was powerful and heavy, possessing an exceptionally good defense-breaking effect. It could easily pierce through trees and stones. Combined with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, its power multiplied several times.
Lin Yun used it to deal with demonic beasts. Within the Earthly Yuan Realm, he had almost no opponents, basically killing them with a single spear thrust.
Throwing the White Wolf into the alchemy furnace, Lin Yun sat down to swallow pills and rest.
"Calculating the time, Lin Dong should be about to set off, right?"
...
Qingyang Town! Lin Dong arrived at the shop set up by the Lei and Xie Families to receive information about the Fire Python Tiger.
"I saw the Fire Python Tiger. It appeared in the northern mountain forest, the same Fire Python Tiger that killed Lei Li and Xie Yingying."
"Is that true?" The manager of the Lei family's shop immediately brightened up.
"Absolutely true. You can go and see for yourselves. It's in the northern mountain forest. You'd better hurry. I saw it hunting there two hours ago," Lin Dong said confidently.
His words immediately attracted the attention of the Lei family's higher-ups.
Immediately, a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert rushed to the shop, scrutinizing Lin Dong and saying, "You are Lin Dong from the Lin family, aren't you? You were also present when the Fire Python Tiger killed Li'er."
Lin Dong nodded, "Yes, so I am very sure I didn't see wrong. You'd better hurry over."
"Nephew Lin Dong, can you lead the way for us?" The Lei family elder said.
Lin Dong was silent, a hesitant look on his face.
Seeing this, the elder from the Lei family gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you lead us to the Fire Python Tiger, we'll add another Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine."
"Alright!" Lin Dong readily agreed.
The people from the Lei and Xie families immediately set out, each sending a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert to accompany Lin Dong first.
The group hurried into the northern forest.
Deep within the forest, Lin Yun released his mental energy to probe. His mental energy had grown again, capable of detecting a thousand-meter radius.
As soon as the Lei family's people entered, he would be the first to discover them.
Soon, Lin Yun detected Lin Dong and the people from the Lei and Xie families.
"Only two Heavenly Yuan Realm experts came?"
Lin Yun's mouth curved into a smile. He patted Hu Ying's head and said,
"Hu Ying, go take a stroll."
"Roar!"
Hu Ying immediately got up excitedly and ran outside.
He had already instructed Hu Ying beforehand to only show himself and not get too entangled with the other party.
They were just two Heavenly Yuan Realm experts, not late-stage Heavenly Yuan Realm like Lei Bao and Xie Qian.
Even if Hu Ying couldn't defeat them, escaping wouldn't be a problem.
"Lin Dong, are you sure you saw the Fire Python Tiger here? You'd better think carefully and not lie to us," the Xie family's Heavenly Yuan Realm expert said coldly.
They, the Xie family, also had to contribute to the Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicine given to Lin Dong.
"Absolutely certain. That Fire Python Tiger couldn't have been waiting here for us all this time. You guys search this area again," Lin Dong said with full confidence.
"Look, that's the Fire Python Tiger!"
Suddenly, a fiery red shadow appeared in the forest, and someone immediately shrieked.
"It really is it, that Fire Python Tiger."
"It found us."
"Uncle Lei Pi, Uncle Xie Yu, can you take it down?"
The Lei and Xie families were both surprised and panicked.
"Very good, Lin Dong, thank you this time. Two Fourth-Grade Spiritual Medicines, our two families will keep our word. You can go back and claim them," Lei Pi said to Lin Dong, slightly agitated.
Their two families had searched for so long, their hatred for the Fire Python Tiger had seeped into their dreams.
Neither family would be content without killing this Fire Python Tiger.
"Thank you, and I wish you a successful hunt!" Lin Dong said with a smile.
Xie Yu quickly arranged, "You guys go back and inform the family heads. The two of us will hold off this beast first."
He and Xie Yu charged towards the Fire Python Tiger.
To avoid suspicion, Lin Dong didn't look back much. Instead, he pretended to be scared and followed the messenger back to Qingyang Town to collect his reward.
It was a bit short today, I'll try to make it longer tomorrow!
