Seeing the swift conclusion of the trade between the two, Master Jennifer cast a sidelong glance. For a martial artist, possessing a hundred Energy-Building Pills was equivalent to an ordinary person carrying millions in cash in the secular world.
Once all the dishes were served, Leo wasted no time and began to indulge in the meal.
Trading four Vitality Pills for a hundred Energy-Building Pills was undoubtedly a great deal for Leo. He was certain that he could refine one Vitality Pill with just ten Energy-Building Pills. With a hundred Energy-Building Pills in hand, he could produce ten Vitality Pills. It was a significant gain.
Due to the sheer variety of dishes, Leo sampled each one, and it was enough to satisfy his appetite.
On the other hand, Master Jennifer ate very little, mostly choosing vegetarian dishes.
After finishing their meal, the group left the restaurant together.
“Mr. Bloomer, Jennifer, we’re all going to Falling Sunset Mountain. How about we go together?” Henry’s attention was primarily on Master Jennifer, and there was a spark of enthusiasm in his eyes.
Through their recent interaction, Henry felt that he might have fallen in love with Master Jennifer. If he could marry her and practice their family’s extraordinary dual cultivation technique together, it would be the most wonderful thing in the world.
“Mr. Lynd, there’s no need,” Leo decided to park the car at the restaurant and then rode up the mountain majestically on the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
Leo looked at Master Jennifer and asked, “Do you dare to ride the tiger?”
Master Jennifer nodded.
Leo had the Saber-Toothed Tiger kneel down, and once Master Jennifer was on board, he joined her. When the Saber-Toothed Tiger stood up, Master Jennifer’s cold face turned slightly red because she was sitting in front of Leo, and when the Saber-Toothed Tiger moved, their bodies inevitably made contact.
Leo also felt a bit itchy because the fragrance emanating from Master Jennifer’s body in front of him was simply intoxicating. It was a scent that resembled perfume but not quite, and Leo suspected it was her unique natural scent.
Leo reached out and patted the Saber-Toothed Tiger’s body, giving the command, “Tiger, let’s go!”
The Saber-Toothed Tiger roared lowly and, carrying Leo and Master Jennifer, raced towards Falling Sunset Mountain like the wind.
Watching Leo and Master Jennifer’s rapidly disappearing figures, Henry folded his fan, his gaze slightly unfocused, and he said in a deep voice, “Elliot, I have to make that woman, Master Jennifer, mine.”
Elliot nodded in agreement, “That girl is indeed exceptional, and if you can marry her and practice the family’s dual cultivation technique together, it will be beneficial for both you and the family.”
After Henry and the others had left, Master Jennifer couldn’t help but ask, “Leo, what’s the story with this Saber-Toothed Tiger?”
“It’s not real; it’s just an advanced illusion I created,” Leo replied.
“An advanced illusion?” Master Jennifer wasn’t quite sure because she felt that the Saber-Toothed Tiger was very real.
Leo had to explain, “This Saber-Toothed Tiger is a projection created using the talisman and the art of materialization. In simple terms, right now, we’re riding on a talisman. In two hours, the Saber-Toothed Tiger will disappear, and the talisman will be totally consumed.”
“I see, that’s truly incredible,” Master Jennifer exclaimed. She knew that Leo was a spiritual cultivator, and they were in a different league from martial artists like herself.
The Saber-Toothed Tiger was incredibly fast, and in less than half an hour, they were already close to Falling Sunset Mountain.
Ahead of them lay a range of continuous mountain peaks. Most of the trees had turned a reddish-yellow hue, not from withering, but radiating a different kind of vitality.
The trees in the mountains were twice as tall as their counterparts outside, with dense branches and golden leaves reflecting a radiant glow in the sunlight.
Leo couldn’t resist making the Saber-Toothed Tiger stop, then he jumped off its back and scooped up a handful of soil for observation.
From the soil, Leo could distinctly feel the presence of the Fire elemental essence, and there was a faint hint of Fire elemental energy in the surrounding air.
Could it be that the legend about the Phoenix’s tail feather falling here is true? Leo couldn’t help but wonder, his curiosity about Falling Sunset Mountain deepening.
After sprinkling the soil, Leo leaped back onto the tiger’s back, using his thoughts to command the Saber-Toothed Tiger to continue their journey.
The two of them rode the illusionary Saber-Toothed Tiger into the forest.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of red and yellow fallen leaves that rustled underfoot.
It was nearing sunset, and the sun cast a golden hue over everything. The juxtaposition of the golden sunlight with the red and yellow trees on the mountainside created an extraordinary and breathtaking beauty.
In a forest teeming with life, a tree over twenty meters tall was the stage for two figures standing amidst the dense branches.
One of them had his upper body bare, showing off his well-built physique with eight-pack abs. He held a large black axe, and his rugged face bore a fierce expression.
Beside him, the other person was slimmer, wielding a harpoon-like weapon, and his eyes were somewhat small, with occasional sly gleams in his pupils.
“Boss, that beast should be nearby. Once we pick that Fire Spirit Grass, it will surely attack us,” the axe-wielding man said in a deep voice.
The guy with the harpoon squinted through the leaves, looking into the distance, and whispered, “Let’s hold off for now. I’ve already set a trap. If that beast doesn’t fall for it, you can go get the Fire Spirit Grass later, and I’ll signal the other brothers…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the harpoon-wielding guy suddenly stopped.
The axe-wielding man was puzzled, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
The harpoon-wielding guy put his finger to his lips, indicating silence, and whispered, “Don’t speak. It seems someone’s coming.”
The axe-wielding man immediately became vigilant, scanning the surroundings with his large eyes.
The ones who had arrived were none other than Leo and Master Jennifer.
They moved slowly, stopping along the way, and had some good luck, finding five decent herbs.
Of course, during their ascent, Leo and Master Jennifer also encountered other martial artists.
Some martial artists even fought fiercely for a single herb.
Some were interested in the herbs Leo had collected, but upon seeing the fierce Saber-Toothed Tiger by his side, they immediately gave up on any thoughts of robbery.
“Look, it seems there’s a Fire Spirit Grass over there!” Leo had excellent vision and spotted the Fire Spirit Grass. He quickly pointed in the direction to Master Jennifer.
Master Jennifer followed his gesture, and beneath a towering tree with red and yellow fallen leaves at its base, she saw a plant that resembled flames.
