The successful establishment of the task allowed Lin Yun to breathe a sigh of relief.
Especially upon seeing the reward was a fifth-grade Returning Spring Pill, Lin Yun became even more excited.
The effect of the Returning Spring Pill is healing and recovery.
Reaching the fifth grade, the effect is even better.
Currently, this Fire Python Tiger's injuries are severe, with excessive bleeding, coupled with the exhaustion from giving birth. It's basically very difficult to save it through conventional means.
But the Returning Spring Pill can do just that.
However, he needs to first subdue the Fire Python Tiger.
At this moment, the Fire Python Tiger stood at the entrance of the rock cave, its tiger eyes staring intently at Lin Yun, full of vigilance.
It seemed to have some reservations. Even though Lin Yun was right in front of it, it didn't charge over again, only trying to force Lin Yun back with roars.
"Come on!"
Lin Yun provoked, adopting an offensive stance.
Time was pressing now and couldn't be delayed. He had to subdue the Fire Python Tiger before other participants arrived here. Although he was trying to save the Fire Python Tiger family, he didn't understand tiger language. Coupled with the Fire Python Tiger having just given birth and being full of defenses, reasoning with it was impossible. He could only persuade it through physical means.
"Roar!"
The Fire Python Tiger lowered its body. There were hideous wounds on its abdomen, seemingly torn by some powerful demonic beast. Large patches of blood flowed out.
A mother tiger is not weak, and as a mother, she is even fiercer! Whoosh... The Fire Python Tiger pounced over, its eyes scarlet, its mouth wide open, its stark white fangs flashing with cold light. Claws extended from its paws, and its massive body was about to engulf Lin Yun.
This attack movement was full of flaws for Lin Yun, whose Flowing Wind Movement Technique was already close to perfection.
If he wanted to kill it, he only needed a slide tackle, attacking the Fire Python Tiger's already injured abdomen, making its injuries worse and accelerating its bleeding. It wouldn't take long for the Fire Python Tiger to weaken and die.
However, Lin Yun's goal was to save it, so his attack couldn't be so ruthless.
Combining the Flowing Wind Movement Technique with Eight Steps Catching Cicadas, Lin Yun's body quickly moved to the left, dodging the pounce. At the same time, his feet scraped against the rock, using the terrain to leap high, grabbing the Fire Python Tiger's neck and flipping onto its back.
"Roar!" The Fire Python Tiger rolled and arched back, its claws spread, trying to scratch Lin Yun off.
However, Lin Yun was like a nimble monkey, switching hands to grab the Fire Python Tiger's scruff, sometimes up, sometimes down, continuously dodging the Fire Python Tiger's attacks. At the same time, he used the Eight Desolations Palm, slapping the Fire Python Tiger's head.
The Fire Python Tiger's tail was a burning python. The snake's mouth opened and suddenly struck out with a whoosh, biting in the opposite direction, making it impossible to guard against.
Lin Yun was startled. The snake's mouth was about to bite his shoulder. He immediately flipped over, falling off the tiger's back, dodging the attack.
"That was close. Looks like I need to show you some color," Lin Yun thought to himself.
Gentler methods wouldn't work. This mother tiger was in a state of protecting her cubs, fighting desperately, the kind that wasn't afraid of death.
Moreover, it was originally a Heavenly Yuan Realm demonic beast, but now it could only exert the strength of the middle to late Earthly Yuan Realm.
The threat was not small.
Fortunately, Lin Yun's movement speed was exceptional. Even a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert might not be able to compare with Lin Yun.
The injured Fire Python Tiger, facing the agile Lin Yun, simply couldn't react.
The initiative in the attack remained in Lin Yun's hands.
*"Mountain Shocking Fist!"*
Lin Yun seized the opportunity and delivered an uppercut to the Fire Python Tiger's lower jaw. The powerful shockwave unleashed by the fist technique directly sent it flying, making it dizzy.
This strike was enough for the Fire Python Tiger to suffer, making it even difficult to stand up.
Lin Yun didn't give it a chance. He directly took off his two-hundred-jin heavy black Iron Clothes and put them over the Fire Python Tiger's head, blocking its vision while also applying a "weakness" to its head.
Then, Lin Yun took off his one-hundred-jin heavy iron shoes and smashed the tiger's head twice.
After enduring the impact of the gravity shoes, the Fire Python Tiger was directly knocked out.
"To avoid hurting you, this is the only way," Lin Yun said faintly. The damage from his fists was too high. The shoes had cushioning, and with the gravity impact, the stunning effect would be better.
Seeing that the Fire Python Tiger no longer had the strength to resist, Lin Yun sat on the tiger's body and put on his shoes.
"Now that I've entered the Earthly Yuan Realm, it's time to get a weapon to protect myself. Using shoes is always inappropriate," Lin Yun thought while putting on his shoes. "I hope the system is sensible and arranges a weapon in the subsequent task rewards."
After putting on his shoes, Lin Yun stood up and took out the Alchemy Furnace.
"Red Spirit, put this Fire Python Tiger into the furnace," Lin Yun instructed.
"Master, are you going to refine it into a pill?" Red Spirit transmitted its voice, looking ready to start working. "This guy is too big, refining is very troublesome. I need the master's Origin Power to help refine it into a pill."
"Hiss~ Demonic beasts can also be directly refined into pills?" Lin Yun took a sharp breath. This was too brutal.
Fortunately, Red Spirit didn't act on its own initiative, otherwise the Fire Python Tiger he had worked so hard to save would have been directly killed.
Red Spirit explained seriously, "Of course you can. People can also be directly refined into pills. Refining pills is just a process of extracting, merging, and solidifying energy. Anything with energy can be used to refine pills. It's just that materials like demonic beast corpses are too troublesome to process, the extraction process is complex, and it requires continuous long-term refining with alchemical fire."
"Alright, as expected of a divine-grade alchemy furnace," Lin Yun praised admiringly. "But don't touch this Fire Python Tiger. I want to save it, it's useful. You can try using your alchemical fire to help stabilize its injuries first."
After putting the Fire Python Tiger into the Alchemy Furnace, Lin Yun entered the rock cave.
He immediately saw three little cuties.
"Ying ya! Ying ya! Ying ya!"
The three little tigers whimpered and cried. They seemed to have been startled by the fight outside just now and were crawling around aimlessly. Since they had just been born, they still had bloodstains on their bodies, and their eyes weren't fully open yet.
"Little guys, from now on, I'm your daddy."
Lin Yun walked over, picked up the three little tigers, and threw them all into the alchemy furnace.
With Red Spirit present, the intensity of the pill fire inside the alchemy furnace could be controlled. The pill fire itself was a form of energy, and this warm aura was enough for the family of four to stay in the alchemy furnace for a while.
[Task: Rescue and adopt the Fire Python Tiger family. Reward: One bottle of Fifth-Grade Returning Spring Pill, Expert-grade Mental Secret Manual "Beast Taming Art". Completed, claim reward?]
"Claim!"
Lin Yun raised his hand, and a familiar white light flashed. A bottle of Returning Spring Pill appeared in his hand.
The information about the Beast Taming Art also integrated into his mind.
After receiving the reward, Lin Yun wasn't in a hurry to go out. The hunting activity would last for a long time, and he planned to solve the Fire Python Tiger problem first.
The Beast Taming Art rewarded by the system could be used to subdue the mother Fire Python Tiger.
The mother Fire Python Tiger was a Heavenly Yuan Realm demonic beast, and her intelligence was fully mature. It would be very difficult to cultivate a relationship with her, and it wouldn't be successful in just a day or two.
If he wanted to keep her by his side, he had to completely tame her, otherwise, there would be hidden dangers.
Lin Yun immediately created a task to learn the Beast Taming Art.
[Task: Read the Beast Taming Art 10 times. Reward: Beast Taming Art Beginner-level comprehension experience +1.]
The content of the Beast Taming Art was much simpler than the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. Lin Yun only spent half an hour reading it 100 times, reaching the familiar level of comprehension.
The Beast Taming Art controlled demonic beasts through mental power. It required imprinting one's mental power into the demonic beast's mental sea of consciousness to gain control.
Lin Yun hadn't started cultivating mental power yet, but he had 17 points in mental attributes, so his innate mental power surpassed that of ordinary people.
He began cultivating the Beast Taming Art, mainly focusing on condensing the mental power imprint. Lin Yun succeeded after only two attempts.
As expected, he was exceptionally talented.
Now he could create a task.
[Task: Cultivate the Beast Taming Art 1 time. Reward: Beast Taming Art proficiency Beginner +1.]
Another half an hour passed.
[Beast Taming Art Beginner (+10) — Beast Taming Art (Minor Accomplishment).]
Lin Yun successfully cultivated the Beast Taming Art 10 times, reaching Minor Accomplishment.
At this point, the mental power imprint he had condensed was very stable and could be controlled and released.
"Now I should be able to give it a try."
Lin Yun prepared to enter the alchemy furnace to subdue the Fire Python Tiger.
"Let's try creating a task first."
[Task: Use the Beast Taming Art to tame the Fire Python Tiger. Reward: One bottle of Fourth-Grade Soul Nourishing Pill.]
