"Eightfold Collapse!"
Su Yun shouted angrily, his elbow striking the Raging Wind Tiger's waist, and eight layers of Hidden Force instantly surged into the Raging Wind Tiger's body.
"Aaah!"
The Raging Wind Tiger let out a mournful howl, its body flying back two meters.
Just as the Raging Wind Tiger hit the ground, Su Yun detonated the Hidden Force inside its body.
"Explode!"
A muffled sound erupted from within the Raging Wind Tiger's body, its limbs twitched once, and it fell to the ground, lifeless.
Su Yun let out a long breath.
What a relief!
A hint of satisfaction flashed across Su Yun's face.
The perfected *Eightfold Collapse* was indeed terrifying. The detonation of eight layers of Hidden Force was comparable to the power of a Low-Rank Earth-Class Martial Technique, ending the battle directly.
Not to mention a Raging Wind Tiger, which was not known for its physical prowess, even a powerful beast with a robust physique would likely suffer serious injuries or death if the eight layers of Hidden Force inside its body were detonated.
Su Yun approached, storing the Raging Wind Tiger's corpse in the system space for a feast tonight.
That night, Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy enjoyed their meal thoroughly.
After the meal, Su Yun ended his cultivation in the room, looking at Little Medical Fairy lying on the bed with a hint of helplessness.
It was currently the hot season, and Little Medical Fairy was only wearing a thin undergarment, her slender waist exposed to the air.
Ever since that night when Little Medical Fairy, afraid of the dark, had burst into his room, they had been sleeping together.
It was still fine now, but who knew what would happen in a few years.
Su Yun lay down on the bed, deliberately keeping some distance from Little Medical Fairy.
After all, they had just eaten Raging Wind Tiger tonight...
The night passed without incident. In the morning, Su Yun woke up to find Little Medical Fairy already gone.
Su Yun went to the kitchen.
"Brother is up, just in time for breakfast," Little Medical Fairy said with a smile, wearing an apron.
"Mm-hmm," Su Yun nodded and then began to wash up.
What Su Yun didn't notice was that Little Medical Fairy, standing behind him, had a slightly flushed face.
Brother Su Yun is so bad! All men are big bad guys!
Hmph.
Little Medical Fairy seemed to have thought of something, a hint of shyness flashing across her face.
...
Two months later, Su Yun went to the Xiao Family, handed over the first-grade pills he had refined to Xiao Zhan, and then visited Xiao Yan.
After encouraging him further and giving him the second-grade pills he had refined, Su Yun left the Xiao Family.
He had taken away their resources and would make them risk their lives for him in the future.
And what he had to pay was just some insignificant pills.
Capitalists were no different from this, Su Yun mused. Leaving the Xiao Family, Su Yun went to the Mittel Auction House.
According to their agreement, Kuang Tang should have already prepared the herbs and beast fires.
Arriving at the Mittel Auction House, Su Yun and Kuang Tang sat in the VIP room.
Sure enough, not long after they sat down, Kuang Tang took out a Storage Ring.
"Master Han, the herbs and beast fires you requested are all inside."
A glint of joy flashed in Su Yun's eyes, but his face remained expressionless as he took the Storage Ring.
Kuang Tang asked cautiously, "Master, when do you think you can refine the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill?"
Su Yun glanced at him.
This guy is getting a bit impatient.
But he could understand. If he could break through to the Spirit Fighter level, his status in the Mittel family would undoubtedly rise.
A Spirit Fighter was already quite impressive in the Jiamai Empire. After all, even some Battle Kings made it to the top ten strongest in the Jiamai Empire.
"What's the rush? I'm still in Wu Tan City; I'm not going anywhere," Su Yun said.
Hearing this, Kuang Tang realized he had been a bit too hasty and hurriedly apologized.
"Yes, yes, please forgive me, Master."
Kuang Tang smiled bitterly.
"Mm-hmm."
Seeing that Kuang Tang understood, Su Yun nodded. It was necessary to set the terms.
"Rest assured, you'll have it next month."
Su Yun took a sip of tea, giving him a reassurance.
Kuang Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
To help Su Yun gather these herbs and beast fires, he had no idea how many favors he had owed and how much influence he had used.
The gold coins spent on just collecting the herbs alone amounted to 300,000.
If Su Yun ran away, he wouldn't know where to cry.
With the items in hand, Su Yun had no interest in staying any longer.
Returning home, Su Yun did not immediately start refining pills.
Instead, he took out the two beast fires from the Storage Ring.
Both were extracted from the bodies of fourth-grade fire attribute beasts.
Su Yun was not disappointed. Given Kuang Tang's connections, being able to obtain two fourth-grade beast fires was already a great effort.
Su Yun made his preparations, taking the second-grade pills, Pulse Guard Pill and Ice Heart Pill, before starting to refine the beast fires.
With his Great Martial Master cultivation, refining two fourth-grade beast fires was not a problem.
It took no more than half an hour to succeed.
Su Yun opened his eyes, stretched out his hands, palms facing up, and an orange-red and a pink flame appeared in his palms.
Su Yun nodded in satisfaction. After all, they were fourth-grade beast fires, and refining two at once had still improved his cultivation somewhat.
Not much, but it saved him seven days of hard cultivation.
However, the *Burning Cold Technique* did not evolve.
Su Yun was not surprised. He hadn't expected the *Burning Cold Technique* to evolve into an Earth-Class Technique just from two beast fires.
Su Yun pondered for a while and did not immediately start refining pills.
Absorbing two beast fires was easy for him now, but absorbing Strange Fires in the future might be different.
Perhaps he should find some body-strengthening techniques to practice.
This thought flashed through Su Yun's mind.
He remembered the vivid descriptions of Xiao Yan absorbing Strange Fires in the original story. Each time, it was a matter of life and death. With the protagonist's luck, Xiao Yan could absorb them without much trouble, but he was different.
Reality was not a novel. The risk of refining Strange Fires was in a completely different league compared to beast fires.
Every bit of preparation counted, and if he failed, it would be the end of the story.
Su Yun made up his mind to put more effort into body-strengthening techniques, as this concerned his life.
With this thought, Su Yun took a moment to rest before preparing to start refining pills.
The first pill he planned to refine was not the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, but the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
This pill, like the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, was a Peak Fourth-Rank Pill.
It could enhance a Great Martial Master's strength by one star and could be taken twice.
The Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, on the other hand, could enhance strength by three stars at once.
According to his plan, taking two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills and one Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill would, if everything went smoothly, directly increase his strength by five stars, bringing him to the level of a six-star Great Martial Master!
Su Yun had Kuang Tang prepare three sets of herbs for the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, as he was not completely confident that he wouldn't fail.
More herbs meant more room for error.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After refining two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills, Su Yun still had one set of herbs left.
A smile appeared on Su Yun's face, and he decided to use the remaining herbs.
Even if he didn't need them himself, he could sell them. Gold coins were always welcome.
