"Little friend, don't be so unruly."
Lin Feng chuckled as he watched Mister Scarlet Leaf fight the Geng Metal Tiger Demon in midair. He wondered if he should move a stool and a bag of melon seeds to slowly watch the battle.
Mister Scarlet Leaf was still equipped with treasures. Several Golden Elixir Period artifacts complemented each other, giving him extraordinary combat strength.
Moreover, he specialized in physical abilities, which made him nimble. The Geng Metal Tiger Demon tried to engage in close combat several times, but he nimbly dodged its attacks.
Back then, Daoist Tie Mu and his gang had set up an immortal trap to trick Mister Scarlet Leaf. However, in order to make the act more realistic, Daoist Tie Mu had to use his best skills when fighting against Mister Scarlet Leaf.
Even so, he suffered a crushing defeat. Even his natal Golden Elixir artifact, the Five Elements Yin Wind Sword, was broken.
Therefore, with his superb equipment, Mister Scarlet Leaf indeed had the ability to defeat an early Golden Elixir Period cultivator.
However, against the Geng Metal Tiger Demon before him, he was obviously struggling.
At this moment, the Geng Metal Tiger Demon's entire body was covered in glittering metal. It was as if he was wearing a flawless, refined armor that shone dazzlingly under the moonlight.
The layer of armor on his body was like an exoskeleton. It had beautiful lines and perfectly fit the tiger demon's body, not affecting its movements at all.
His defense was astonishingly high. With his Golden Elixir Period artifacts, other than the Seven Evils Dragon-Slaying Sword, which could make the tiger demon wary, Mister Scarlet Leaf's other attacks were completely nonexistent.
Countless metal spikes grew out of the joints of the armor. It looked ferocious and lethal.
However, that was not the most important thing. With his superb equipment, even if he could not break through the tiger demon's defense, Mister Scarlet Leaf could still protect himself.
However, during the battle, metal blades would form in the empty air from time to time, stabbing at Mister Scarlet Leaf from unexpected angles, just like the flying swords of human sword cultivators.
These metal blades were completely untraceable. They would often appear out of nowhere and slash at Mister Scarlet Leaf.
Furthermore, it wasn't just one or two of them. Every time they appeared, there would be more than ten of them. Then, they would surround and attack from all directions, forming a death trap.
When Lin Feng saw this, he smiled. "This tiger demon's strength is equivalent to a human cultivator's mid-stage Golden Elixir realm."
When a cultivator forms the Golden Elixir, they can overcome the difficulties of life and death and live for thousands of years.
Besides transforming his unwavering conviction into great courage to overcome the fear between life and death, his body had attained the advanced stage.
Looking inside himself, he could sense the slightest changes in his body.
Not bones, internal organs, muscles, and meridians, but even the tinier blood vessels and acupoints.
Metal was immortal and immortal. It didn't mean that the body was as hard as steel and wouldn't be damaged even after being chopped by knives or axes. Instead, once the body suffered even the slightest damage, the person would be able to sense it and come up with countermeasures to repair and recuperate.
The slightest damage might seem insignificant, but it was actually the root cause of the human body's aging and decay. It was precisely because the slightest damage wasn't easy to detect that people didn't pay much attention to it.
If someone cut their arm with a knife, everyone knew that they had to stop the bleeding, apply medicine, and treat it.
As long as they put in the effort, they would recover one day.
However, if the hidden acupoints in the body were injured and the capillaries were cracked, cultivators below the Golden Elixir period wouldn't be able to sense it and could only let it go.
As a result, the damage couldn't be treated in time and would eventually lead to death.
A slightest damage didn't matter, but when accumulated, it would eventually lead to the end of the human body.
Cultivators who formed the Golden Elixir could look inside their body and sense the slightest damage so that they could treat it in time.
Advanced stage meant immortality. Advanced stage immortality was the early stage of the Golden Elixir.
When Lin Feng first formed his Gold Core, he also went through a similar process. He wouldn't have known if he hadn't seen it, but he was shocked when he saw it.
If his body was a thousand-mile-long dike, then there were already many tiny cracks in the interior of this dike.
It was like an ant's nest that couldn't be any smaller.
However, a thousand-mile dam could collapse because of an ant's nest. If this went on for a long time, no matter how strong the dam was, it would still collapse one day.
If an early stage Golden Elixir cultivator could survive the Yin Fire Tribulation, he could advance to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
The characteristic of the middle stage of the Golden Elixir was Advanced stage.
Advanced stage meant comprehending the endless mysteries of the universe and the truth of heaven and earth, truly communicating with heaven and earth.
At this stage, cultivators could freely control the spiritual energy in the world to a certain extent. They could also separate the spiritual energy they needed and use it.
The Geng Metal Tiger in front of him had separated the metal-attributed spiritual energy in the air and condensed it into a sharp blade. Under the control of his mind, it freely attacked Mr. Red Leaf.
Advanced stage immortality. Advanced stage immortality was the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
Because cultivators could freely control the spiritual energy in the world within a certain range and use it as their own, if a middle stage Golden Elixir cultivator were to fight with an early stage Golden Elixir cultivator, the latter would completely crush the latter in terms of the total amount of magical power, let alone other factors.
From the smallest to the largest, after comprehending it, the cultivator could try to pass the Yin Wind Tribulation and advance to the late stage of the Golden Elixir.
Mr. Red Leaf's strength could surpass an early stage Golden Elixir cultivator like Daoist Tie Mu, who had a shallow foundation.
But when facing a middle stage Golden Elixir cultivator, he had to take it easy. Not to mention that this Geng Metal Tiger was also one of the best in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir.
However, the two of them had made a big noise. It was impossible to hide a battle in front of the Hundred Herbs Sect from the Hundred Herbs Ancestor.
For the Hundred Herbs Ancestor, who was in the Yuanying stage, the strength of these two was not worthy of his attention. But now, the Renyuan Jindan was about to be refined, and the news had been leaked, so the Hundred Herbs Ancestor had to be careful.
Suddenly, a white mist flew out from the top of the Eternal Spring Peak. It was hazy and hard to see clearly in the night sky, but everyone could feel the horrifying power contained in it.
The white mist was like a whip, fiercely lashing at the Geng Metal Tiger.
Before it got close, it had already brought up a gust of wind. The wind was filled with the fragrance of herbs, making people dizzy after smelling it.
The Geng Metal Tiger Demon's expression changed drastically. When he said that the Hundred Herbs Ancestor was not good at fighting, he meant that he was a Nascent Soul cultivator at the same level as him. For the Hundred Herbs Ancestor to take care of an opponent at the Golden Core stage was a piece of cake.
The Geng Metal Tiger was indeed the nemesis of the Hundred Herbs Sect. But to restrain the Hundred Herbs Ancestor, only the Geng Metal Tiger King could do it.
Seeing the white mist coming, Sir Scarlet Leaf frowned, as if he was dissatisfied that the opponent had interrupted his fight with the tiger.
But soon, his frown relaxed, "Forget it. This is the Hundred Herbs Ancestor's territory. I'll just do him a favor."
"But since Xiao Man wants this tiger as a pet, I'll have to help her get it after this is over."
Thinking of this, Sir Scarlet Leaf put away his ritual implement and retreated to the side, watching the Hundred Herbs Ancestor capture the Geng Metal Tiger.
Facing the Hundred Herbs Ancestor's attack, the Geng Metal Tiger did not dare to hesitate. He took out something that looked like a bone stick and injected his monster power into it. The bone stick immediately shone with a golden light.
The golden light shot into the sky, carrying the Geng Metal Tiger far away in an attempt to avoid the whip of mist.
"So it's a monster of the Geng Metal Tiger Tribe. How dare you behave so atrociously in front of the Hundred Herbs Sect? Don't even think about running away." The calm voice of an old man came from the top of Eternal Spring Peak. It was the Hundred Herbs Ancestor.
The white mist whip made a turn in the air and chased after the golden light. It seemed to be very far away, but with a shake of the whip in the air, it traversed dozens of miles in an instant, catching up to the tiger's back and lashing out at its face.
The women on Sir Scarlet Leaf's Azure Thunder War Chariot all gasped at the sight. "Is this the Hundred Herbs Ancestor's ability to travel through space?"
"That's right." Sir Scarlet Leaf nodded and said calmly, "But it's nothing special. As long as I succeed in forming my Gold Core, I'll have a way to cultivate a secret technique. By then, traveling through space won't be a problem."
Xiang Lanying sighed, "You're amazing, husband."
Sir Scarlet Leaf smiled, "I still have many tricks up my sleeves. You'll find out about them one by one in the future …"
As he was speaking, in the distant sky, the Hundred Herbs Ancestor's white mist whip suddenly shook for no reason, and then it disappeared right in front of the tiger.
In the next moment, the whip reappeared in the air, but the tiger had already taken the opportunity to flee on the golden light, disappearing into the horizon.
Xiang Lanying asked in surprise, "Husband, what's going on?"
Sir Scarlet Leaf was tongue-tied. He didn't understand what just happened.
The white mist whip couldn't catch up to the tiger, and the Hundred Herbs Ancestor couldn't leave the mountain to chase after the tiger for the sake of the Renyuan Jindan. He could only watch as the cooked duck flew away.
With the tiger running away, Sir Scarlet Leaf couldn't fulfill the promise he made to his woman. He was in a bad mood.
"Where's that person?" Only then did he remember Lin Feng, whom he had chosen as his coachman. He glanced around, but found Lin Feng gone. Sir Scarlet Leaf held his breath and became even more depressed, "What a bunch of unappreciative fools. Every one of them is against me."
In the grand hall at the top of Eternal Spring Peak, the Hundred Herbs Ancestor also looked gloomy, "Who on earth interrupted my spell and traveled through space to chase after that monster?"
Beside him, Qu Bin looked worried, "Could it be that there's a Yuanying cultivator spying on us and interfered with your spell?"
The Hundred Herbs Ancestor frowned slightly, "I don't know, but this person isn't simple. His timing was perfect, and he was decisive. He disappeared in a flash. I almost thought that my magical power was unstable, and I missed."
"The key now is, how much does the Geng Metal Tiger know? Does he know about the Renyuan Jindan? " The Hundred Herbs Ancestor said slowly, "If he reports it to the old monster of the Geng Metal Tiger Tribe, we'll be in trouble."
Qu Bin also looked serious. Although the Hundred Herbs Ancestor didn't say it, he knew clearly that the Hundred Herbs Ancestor was no match for the Geng Metal Tiger King even with the help of the Mountain-protecting Formation.
"My master is in closed-door training and can't come here in a short time. If he reports it to the other elders in the sect, the news of the Renyuan Jindan will be exposed." Qu Bin said worriedly.
The Hundred Herbs Ancestor said, "It doesn't matter. I remember that your master has a celestial device called the Desolation Element Nine Smelting Heavenly Thunder Net. With the help of this treasure, I can defeat that evil tiger. Go back to the mountain quickly and ask your master to lend this treasure to me."
Qu Bin nodded and left the Eternal Spring Peak on his sword without saying goodbye to his fellow disciples. He rushed back to the Wilderness Sword Sect.
Outside the Eternal Spring Peak, on the top of a barren mountain, Lin Feng watched Qu Bin's red sword light flying away and thought, "Should I call for help?"
