In the war between humans and demons, it's not unreasonable for me to absorb demonic energy, is

Fan Tong hurried along, wondering which direction to take, when suddenly the sound of fighting came from not far away. His eyes lit up, and he silently crept over.

"Bai Jie, what's going on? Why is the effect of the Bewitching Pill so much weaker?" Sui Shan's muscles were tense as he cautiously stared at the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger opposite him.

The plan was flawless. Taking advantage of the midnight effect of the Bewitching Pill, they lured the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger to devour it. They were supposed to kill the giant tiger by grabbing it with their bare hands, but who would have thought that the giant tiger would only sway slightly and then recover?

Faced with the provocation of five martial artists at the Human Spirit Realm, the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger was instantly enraged and launched a fierce attack on them.

Fortunately, the disciples of the Fengqing Sect have profound knowledge and skills. Even when facing a second-grade lower-level demonic beast, they can fight back and forth and have not yet fallen into a disadvantageous position.

"I...I don't know why either. Could it be that the Heavenly Twilight Tiger has strong resistance?" A hint of panic flashed in Bai Jie's eyes. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

"Hmph! Do you think I don't know? The Bewitching Pill is only effective when used whole. If the pill is missing even a little bit, its effect will be greatly reduced!"

Sui Shan's thoughts shifted, and he suddenly remembered something. He immediately began to question Bai Jie, "Bai Jie, don't tell me you sabotaged the pill and then framed Fan Tong, do you?"

"What are you saying, Senior Brother Sui? I have no reason to argue with that servant disciple! I really don't know why the medicine is working like this!"

"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and deal with the giant tiger. If you fail to complete the mission, someone will investigate the results. Hopefully, you won't be involved!"

After finishing his sentence, Sui Shan fell silent. His body swelled up dramatically, and he began to directly restrain the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger, creating space for the other disciples to attack.

Only his Dragon Elephant Skill could hold off the giant tiger for a while. The others would have lost their fighting ability after just one attack from the giant tiger.

Facing the giant tiger of the twilight, the five people cooperated and maintained their attack formation, and the situation immediately fell into a stalemate. However, as time went by, the five people's physical strength and spiritual power were soon running out.

"Senior Brother Sui, I can't hold on any longer! Shall we retreat?" A true disciple said in a hoarse voice, his body floating.

"Senior Brother Sui, I'm almost there too! We need to think of something quickly! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

"Everyone, cheer up! We'll fight and retreat. As long as we get out of the Heavenly Twilight Tiger's territory, we can get rid of it!" Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Sui Shan had no choice but to arrange a retreat.

"Senior Brother Sui, I have a talisman bestowed by our master that can cause some damage to second-grade demonic beasts. Maybe it can scare away the giant tiger and help us complete our mission! You guys hold this beast back for a bit."

Bai Jie, standing to the side, also turned pale. However, she was unwilling to give up the Spirit Gathering Grass and return empty-handed. With a determined effort, she took out the life-saving item bestowed upon her by Elder Mo Chou.

"Oh? It seems Elder Mochou really cares about you! Much better than my master, who only talks about honing my skills!" Sui Shan was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but complain about his master.

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, the other three disciples immediately perked up and exerted their full strength as if injected with adrenaline. Together, the four of them managed to subtly suppress the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger.

Upon seeing this, Bai Jie immediately activated the talisman and struck the giant tiger's forehead directly!

With a loud bang, the cold ice-attribute spiritual power instantly erupted from the talisman, directly causing the giant tiger to bleed profusely from its head, and even blinding one of its eyes with an ice spike.

The giant tiger let out a mournful howl, turned around and ran towards the cave not far away, fearing that another talisman would take its life.

Seeing the white tiger flee, the five men, except for Sui Shan, collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Alas! It's a pity everyone's spiritual energy is exhausted, otherwise it would have been a perfect opportunity to kill the giant tiger!" Seeing the four of them in such a state, Sui Shan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. "You all rest here first, I'll go and pick the Spirit Gathering Grass, so that you won't all leave empty-handed!"

After finishing his sentence, Sui Shan, relying on his powerful physique, strode towards the cave entrance where the Heavenly Twilight Tiger was located. There, a patch of lush, green spiritual herbs grew, swaying gently in the night breeze—the very herbs they were after: the Spirit Gathering Grass!

A moment later, Sui Shan returned. "Let's go, let's quickly recover our spiritual energy so we can try our luck elsewhere!"

Immediately, the other four stood up, distributed the spirit-gathering herbs, and then went their separate ways in different directions. Clearly, those who could become true disciples all possessed their own secrets.

Fan Tong stared at Bai Jie's graceful figure as she left, and was about to get up and chase after her. But then he thought again, gritted his teeth, and walked towards the cave of the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger.

The cave entrance was taller than a person, and the cave was deep and dark. A strong, fishy stench wafted over, almost making Fan Tong vomit.

"This giant tiger is really unhygienic!" Fan Tong cursed inwardly as he looked at the remains and bones of various animals in the cave, as well as the giant tiger's excrement.

He cautiously ventured deeper into the cave, and in just a quarter of an hour, he heard the mournful howl of the Heavenly Twilight Tiger.

Fan Tong held his breath, carefully took out the Taiyi Ancient Sword from the wooden box on his back, held it in his hand, put the wooden box aside, and then quickly walked towards the giant tiger.

When the giant tiger saw someone enter, it stood up abruptly. Ignoring its bleeding head, it paced back and forth nervously, let out a roar, and pounced on Fan Tong.

It knew its situation; only by quickly killing its prey could it save its life.

Seeing the giant tiger's actions, Fan Tong was secretly delighted. He closed his eyes slightly, gripped the Taiyi Ancient Sword with both hands, and recalled the insights gained from the exploding tree branches.

Just as the giant tiger's claws were about to strike him, Fan Tong suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with excitement, and slashed at the giant tiger with the Taiyi Ancient Sword in his hand!

The first move of the Taiyi Sword Technique: Qiankun Heavy Sword!

Boom!

The Taiyi Ancient Sword easily cleaved through the claws of the Heavenly Twilight Giant Tiger and smashed directly into its body. A violent explosion was heard, and a large hole was blasted into the tiger's body.

With a mournful howl, the giant tiger crashed to the ground, ending its tyrannical life!

Meanwhile, Fan Tong, on the other side, swayed, and the Taiyi Ancient Sword in his hand fell directly to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Alas! My cultivation level is still too low. Even with my full power, I can only maintain this one move! However, its power is indeed great, and I must use it as a trump card!"

Although he felt annoyed by his low cultivation level, he was very satisfied with the power of the Qiankun Heavy Sword.

"But it's not a loss. I didn't expect that this big tiger would leave the best things in the cave. It's a pleasant surprise!" Fan Tong looked at a Solomon's Seal fruit not far away and couldn't contain his excitement. He had only come in to try his luck, but he never expected to have such a great harvest.

The Polygonatum fruit is a mid-grade spiritual medicine, possessing pure spiritual power. If it is used as a material to refine pills, ten mid-grade pills can be obtained to enhance one's cultivation in the Human Spirit Realm.

"As long as I get the Spirit Gathering Grass and accumulate enough spiritual power at the fourth level of the Human Spirit Realm, breaking through to the fifth level will be just around the corner!" Fan Tong knew that no one would refine pills for him, but swallowing the Yellow Essence Fruit raw could also help him break through his cultivation level, although it would be a waste of resources.

As for where to find the Spirit Gathering Grass?

Bai Jie, I'm here!
