"A second-tier spirit beast, the Earth Steel Blood Bear?" Ye Lou exclaimed in shock.

Suddenly, the monkey's gaze sharpened, and its anger surged. "After the Earth Steel Blood Bear advanced to the second-tier spirit beast three years ago, it has bullied us for years, monopolizing the Twin Heart Lotus Grass, causing many of our companions to die from the venom of the Hundred Poison Scorpion."

"We thought we could find Double Heart Lotus Grass elsewhere within three days, but we didn't expect that we really couldn't find a single one around here."

It's hard to believe that the Siamese macaque possesses any extraordinary abilities. It's already incredible that it can understand human speech, but its demeanor is almost indistinguishable from that of a human.

Ye Lou could easily see the disappointment in its expression. It seemed that it had really tried its best. It seemed that this Heart Lotus Grass was indeed in the territory of the Steel Blood Bear.

However, a second-tier spirit beast requires at least a martial artist at the fifth level of the Spirit Guiding Realm to fight against it. Moreover, the Earth Steel Blood Bear had already broken through to the second tier three years ago, and it might even require a stronger martial artist to contend with it.

According to the Tongbei Monkey, there wasn't a single Double Heart Lotus Grass nearby, so no matter what kind of den the Earth Steel Blood Bear's cave was, he was going to venture in.

"You don't need to be so discouraged. Since I promised to help you refine the Hun Tian Pill, I won't go back on my word. Not every human is as bad as you imagine," Ye Lou said calmly.

Since we're going to deal with the Earth Steel Blood Bear, the Tongbei Monkey and the group of spirit beasts it leads are quite powerful, so we'll have a better chance of winning.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." The Siamese monkey felt guilty and lowered its head.

Ye Lou didn't want to waste any more time arguing with it. He didn't have much time left, so he took the medicine and headed straight for the room.

"Give me another half day. After you finish refining the Hun Tian Pill, take me to the Earth Steel Blood Bear's cave."

After the door closed, the monkey with the long back showed a grateful look, and then screamed a few times at the group of spirit beasts behind it. After receiving the command, the spirit beasts immediately came to Mu Wanrou's side and untied her.

This is enough to prove that they have truly begun to accept Ye Lou and his companion.

Inside the room, Ye Lou sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a pill cauldron from his Qiankun bag and placed it in front of him. He threw in the simple medicinal herbs, seemingly casually, but in fact, the purification and cleansing process was already completed when he held it in his palm. Now he no longer needed half an hour.

After all, these were just some extremely ordinary medicinal herbs, and coupled with his level of second-grade alchemist, his control over spiritual power and his proficiency in techniques were much more refined than before.

However, the broken root and the heartless fruit need some time to be cleansed and refined. These two are the main ingredients for refining the Hun Tian Dan, and they are relatively scarce. This is his first time refining a two-star pill, and in order to ensure the success rate, he dares not be careless in some aspects.

Moreover, he really didn't have much time left. Mu Wanrou was waiting for him, his father was waiting for him, and the Ye family was all waiting for him.

Ye Lou then took out the severed root and the heartless fruit, and skillfully performed the technique, which even many second-grade alchemists admired. Half an hour later, the two medicinal materials were finally purified and cleansed.

After placing them inside, the entire cauldron began to change. Ye Lou's eyes became clear, and with a flick of his hand, the Ice Soul Divine Seal suddenly flew out, hovering in the air, emitting brilliant light, and the temperature of the entire room dropped again.

With a thought, Ye Lou unleashed a surge of immense energy that enveloped the cauldron from above, instantly transforming into a streak of light that darted into its interior, where the energy surged and churned like a raging torrent.

Such a magnificent scene caught Ye Lou's eye. This was not only the first time he had used Earth Guidance, but also the first time he had personally witnessed the shocking effect of Earth Guidance. He couldn't help but marvel at the spiritual power of Earth Guidance, feeling a surge of vitality filling the entire room.

"With you, it seems I won't even need half a day; two hours will suffice."

Although it was his first time refining a two-star pill, with the help of the Ice Soul Divine Seal, Ye Lou was able to control it more easily. It was as if the seal was full of intelligence and could know Ye Lou's thoughts in advance.

Just two hours later, the Hun Tian Dan was already refined. Moreover, Ye Lou had a bold idea in mind. The Ice Soul Divine Seal was so cold that it was unbearable for ordinary people and difficult for ordinary martial artists to withstand. Perhaps it could be used as an offensive magic weapon.

Of course, these are just his thoughts, and there's no time to verify them now.

squeak!

The door opened, and Ye Lou walked out of the shop. He threw the Hun Tian Dan directly towards the Tongbei Monkey. The pill flew out of his hand, and its pattern could be seen even in the void. Its fragrance filled the entire area.

Mu Wanrou ran towards him, and Ye Lou quickly asked, "Have you been alright these past few days?"

"It's alright, it's just that the fainting is becoming more and more frequent." Mu Wanrou shook her head.

"Don't worry, we'll go find the Earth Steel Blood Bear right away. Once we get the Earth Lotus Twin Heart Grass, I'll refine the Water Jade Profound Ice Pill." Ye Lou didn't want to waste another second and looked at the Tongbei Monkey, saying, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take it, then take me to find the Earth Steel Blood Bear."

"Good, good!" The monkey nodded repeatedly. The internal injury in his body had been a heartache that had troubled him for many years. Now that he could finally recover, how could he not be excited? Moreover, his strength would be restored, and with Ye Lou's help, perhaps one day he could really kill the Earth Steel Blood Bear.

As soon as it took the pill, it cried out excitedly, straightened its bent body, and its complexion became much rosier. Its strength was slowly recovering, which made the other spirit beasts cheer.

Now, in their hearts, Ye Lou is no longer a despicable human, but simply their savior.

The Tongbei Monkey quickly led a group of spirit beasts to accompany him and clear the way. Along the way, the Tongbei Monkey pointed out the rare and exotic herbs it had discovered, which greatly surprised him.

He came to this mountain range not only to improve his strength but also to improve his alchemy skills. He didn't expect that they knew the coordinates of so many precious herbs. Although they weren't very valuable to Ye Lou, having such a group of spirit beasts would put this territory under his control.

As Ye Lou walked, he casually picked some nearby herbs. Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the Earth Steel Blood Bear's cave. The spirit beasts, who had been bullied all day long, finally had the courage to start barking at the entrance.

boom! boom! boom!

The continuous impacts made the spirit beasts tremble with fear. They had never challenged the authority of the Earth Steel Blood Bear, and they couldn't help but feel afraid whenever they heard the sound of the Earth Steel Blood Bear stomping its way in.

Suddenly, a giant beast, about two meters tall, emerged from the cave entrance. It wielded a spiked club, had thick hide and a ferocious face, and roared directly at the group of spirit beasts. The sound waves rippled outwards, and some of the weaker spirit beasts were blown away.

The Earth Steel Blood Bear chuckled and patted its spiked club, causing the nearby trees to sway.

"As expected, it is a second-tier spirit beast. It probably requires the strength of the seventh level of the Spirit Induction Realm to deal with it. With my current strength, I have at most a 40% chance of defeating it. I wonder how well this monkey has recovered its strength."

As for the other spirit beasts, they were just cannon fodder, and he didn't even consider them.

"Ice Soul Divine Seal!"

As Ye Lou shouted, the Ice Soul Divine Seal burst forth from his chest, perfectly aligned with his own thoughts and intentions. "Tongbei Monkey, since this Ice Soul Divine Seal enhances your strength, I will now boost it. When the battle begins, you wait for your opportunity. Only in this way can we join forces to kill the Earth Steel Blood Bear."

Finally, a beam of light appeared above the head of the macaque. Bathed in this light, the macaque was rejuvenated in a short time, its condition instantly improving several times over, even more so than before!

The monkey touched its head in disbelief, jumping up and down with joy. After all, this was the refined Ice Soul Divine Seal, enhanced by Ye Lou, so its effects were absolutely obvious.

The Tongbei Monkey is currently at its peak in terms of physical strength, intelligence, stamina, speed, and so on. Moreover, its current strength is such that it only needs a tiny opportunity to break through to the second-tier spirit beast level.

Ye Lou's body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the monkey next to him helped him up and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Ye Lou shook his head with a forced smile. He hadn't expected that the enhancement to the Tongbei Monkey would require so much of his energy, and this was only a small portion of his power. He would probably have to be even more careful in the upcoming battles.

boom! boom! boom!

Earth Steel Blood Bear slammed his spiked club against the rock wall next to him a few times. He was also shocked by Ye Lou's broken hand, but seeing that the Tongbei Monkey was only a first-level spirit beast, he mustered his courage.

"I'll see just how capable you are, you beast!" Ye Lou said seriously. "I'm ready to go, you support me from behind! Today we will slay this Earth Steel Blood Bear!"

The Earth Steel Blood Bear roared so loudly that it seemed to shake the earth. Some of the trees behind it were even broken by the roar, while the magical beasts that were only at the first level covered their ears and rolled on the ground in agony.

Even Ye Lou felt a domineering force coming towards him, but fortunately his foundation was stable, so he didn't need to worry about this level of roar even in his weakened state.

Needless to say, the macaque was in excellent condition, and the roar had no effect on it. Instead, seeing its companion in such pain, it became enraged, leaped up a tree about eight meters high.

The speed was so fast that it happened almost in the blink of an eye.

Back then, the Mandarin Monkey could barely even climb this tree, let alone jump over it. Now that its strength has increased, it's eager to make its move.

The gibbon monkey kept darting back and forth among the nearby spirit trees. After a while, all that could be seen were its afterimages. However, these afterimages were created by increasing its speed, and they were indeed just shadows.

Even so, the Earth Steel Blood Bear was already clumsy, and being toyed with by the Tongbei Monkey made it even more irritable. At this moment, Ye Lou was also preparing to make a move.
