At this moment, the Fire Python Tiger raised by Lin Dong was pounded on the ground by the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python.
Its fiery red buttocks, due to the tail whipping of the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python, became even redder with each strike.
Accompanying each strike from the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python, the Fire Python Tiger raised by Lin Dong cried out in pain, sounding like a small injured animal.
"How is this possible?"
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao, who rushed over, naturally felt dumbfounded.
His mouth hung open wide, feeling as if he had seen a ghost.
He couldn't understand why a top-tier demon beast like the Fire Python Tiger, which had the strength of a Heavenly Yuan Realm powerhouse, was being beaten up by the snake raised by Lin Yan.
Even though the Fire Python Tiger hadn't fully grown up yet, it was still comparable to a martial artist at the sixth or seventh level of Body Tempering. So why was it losing so dramatically?
"Brother Lin Yan, is this snake of yours also a demon beast?"
Lin Dong remembered what he had said to Lin Yan earlier, about advising him to raise demon beasts. He didn't expect Lin Yan to already have one, and such a powerful one at that. So, Lin Dong couldn't help but ask Lin Yan.
"Yeah, she's a little beast I raised."
"Sorry, she may have a bit of a temper. I'll make her stop."
Lin Yan nodded at Lin Dong and then apologized with some regret.
He immediately shouted at the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python, and upon hearing Lin Yan's call, it obediently stopped its actions and climbed onto Lin Yan's shoulder, rubbing affectionately against his face.
Lin Yan looked at the little snake with some helplessness. This could be considered one of her flaws.
When she was in front of him, she was like a well-behaved baby, harmless to man and beast. But in front of others and other beasts, it wasn't the case.
Many times, this little snake would fight fiercely with other demon beasts in the Lin family's mountains, even killing them.
Before, Lin Yan hadn't paid much attention to it. After all, it was a Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python, proud and arrogant by nature.
But unexpectedly, this time it had targeted Lin Dong's Fire Python Tiger.
"Little brother Lin Dong, I'm really sorry. It's my fault for not disciplining her well."
Lin Yan could only apologize to Lin Dong.
Thinking from another perspective, if his own pet were suddenly bullied, he would definitely be very angry. So Lin Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with apologizing this time.
Lin Dong was taken aback by this and repeatedly replied to Lin Yan, "Brother Lin Yan, there's no need to blame yourself. It's normal for demon beasts to be difficult to discipline."
"And I've already checked Little Yan's injuries just now; they're just some superficial wounds, nothing serious."
Lin Yan expressed his gratitude to Lin Dong, saying, "Thank you, little brother Lin Dong, for being so understanding."
At these words, Lin Yan gave the little snake a helpless look, but seeing its eager-to-please appearance, he couldn't bring himself to reprimand it.
Lin Yan sighed and walked over to the Fire Python Tiger, quickly reaching its side.
The Fire Python Tiger wasn't afraid of Lin Yan, but it was afraid of the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python on Lin Yan's shoulder. So when Lin Yan approached, it trembled in fear.
Lin Yan instructed the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python to stay back and not come any closer. Only then did the Fire Python Tiger relax a little.
"Come on, Little Yan, take this."
Lin Yan took out a healing pill from his bag and fed it to Little Yan.
After swallowing the pill, the medicinal effects quickly took hold, and the external injuries on its body began to heal rapidly. Many of the marks left by the Nine-Colored Swallowing Sky Python's strikes gradually disappeared.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Feeling the recovery of its injuries, the Fire Python Tiger joyfully roared.
Both Lin Dong and Lin Xiao were amazed, "What powerful medicine! The effect is so strong!"
But after a brief astonishment, Lin Dong felt a bit embarrassed, "Brother Lin Yan, you've spent so much on this precious medicine."
Lin Yan shook his head upon hearing this, "After all, it was my demon beast that caused trouble. As its owner, it's my responsibility."
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yan quickly bid farewell to Lin Dong and Lin Xiao.
Neither Lin Dong nor Lin Xiao harbored any resentment over this incident.
After all, Lin Yan had deep feelings of gratitude towards them, and such a minor matter wouldn't affect their relationship.
Moreover, Lin Yan's handling of the situation just now was very appropriate.
So, after Lin Yan left, not only did Lin Dong have no complaints, even Lin Xiao couldn't help but say, "Lin Yan is truly a good person."
"Others might use their connections to avoid responsibility, but this kid willingly takes responsibility and acts generously. He's a real man!"
"I feel reassured leaving Qingtan in his care."
Lin Dong nodded in agreement with Lin Xiao's words, "Indeed, if it's Brother Lin Yan, there's really no problem at all!"
Meanwhile, at another place...
After returning home, Lin Yan resumed his cultivation.
And for the following period of time, he continued to do so.
After all, his cultivation technique had broken through, and now, with advantages from both the Battle Qi Continent and the Martial World, his cultivation speed had reached a new height.
So, during this time, Lin Yan was constantly immersed in intense cultivation.
And his cultivation efficiency was excellent.
After this intense period of cultivation, about half a month later, Lin Yan sensed that the energy in his body had reached a bottleneck.
He promptly activated his elemental energy to break through. After some collision, he successfully broke through that barrier.
As a result, Lin Yan's strength jumped directly from the mid Earth Yuan Realm to the late Earth Yuan Realm.
"Congratulations, young friend!"
"Your cultivation has advanced further."
The Medicine Elder appeared in a timely manner, smiling as he spoke to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled in response, "This is also thanks to the assistance of Senior Medicine Elder."
This time he wasn't being modest because during his cultivation, the Medicine Elder had indeed provided him with many auxiliary medicines, further accelerating his cultivation speed!
"If you can advance further and reach the Heavenly Yuan Realm, young friend's Eight Extremes Collapse might have a chance to reach perfection." The Medicine Elder stroked his beard and said to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan's Eight Extremes Collapse had been stuck at the Great Accomplishment Realm.
Mainly because his current realm was too low, and his elemental energy was insufficient to control the hidden force of the Eight Extremes Collapse.
If he could advance his cultivation to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, then it might be possible.
"Is that so?"
"Then I'll have to cultivate diligently."
Lin Yan's eyes brightened upon hearing this.
Although perfection and great accomplishment seem to differ by just one realm, in reality, they are worlds apart.
After all, the Eight Extremes Collapse, when perfected, with eight layers of hidden force stacked, could rival high-level fighting techniques of the Earth Grade.
Without the eight layers of hidden force, it would just be an ordinary advanced Profound Grade fighting technique.
Thinking of this, Lin Yan's desire to cultivate became even stronger.
However, this time he suppressed his urge to cultivate and quickly stood up.
"Do you have other plans, young friend?"
The Medicine Elder looked puzzled at this.
Lin Yan nodded with a smile.
"I do have something else to do."
