I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

In the dog-eat-dog world of monsters, most monsters, when faced with an opponent they cannot defeat, will prioritize preserving their lives and flee far away if things turn bad.

A creature like the Crimson Flame Tiger, who knows it is no match but still fights to the death and refuses to retreat, even burning its life essence to desperately unleash its supernatural powers, is truly an anomaly.

Upon receiving the benevolent yet doubtful divine thought fluctuation from Lin Che, a clear look of surprise flashed in the Crimson Flame Tiger's eyes.

It clearly hadn't expected that this human was not only powerful but also possessed such peculiar abilities.

"Hmph! It was you... who invaded my... territory!" A weak yet still arrogant and ferocious divine thought came intermittently, showing no intention of admitting defeat.

Lin Che immediately understood.

For some extraordinary and naturally powerful demonic beasts, territoriality and personal dignity are sometimes more important than life itself.

The Crimson Flame Tiger is clearly of this type; its pride is ingrained in its bones and cannot be violated.

This unyielding pride, rather than surrender, stirred Lin Che's heart and made him appreciate the talent.

He said no more, turned and walked towards the Sun-Bathing Fruit Tree. "System, upgrade it."

As the thought settled, a familiar golden light emerged, enveloping the entire fruit tree like a warm tide.

Under the influence of the rules, the fruit trees began to undergo an astonishing transformation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The tree trunk grew taller and taller, rapidly increasing from one zhang to over three zhang, becoming even thicker and more gnarled.

As the light faded, the upgraded spirit tree revealed a completely new form.

The originally golden leaves transformed into an even more dazzling crimson gold, as if crafted from molten crimson gold, each leaf flowing with a rich fire spirit light.

The fruits that grow on the tree are larger, and their whole bodies are a deep crimson red. It seems that magma is slowly flowing under the peel, and they exude pure and powerful fire-attribute spiritual energy and solar essence.

This is indeed a mid-grade second-tier spiritual plant, the Crimson Sun Spiritual Tree!

Its fruit, the "Crimson Sun Fruit," is a treasure for Foundation Establishment stage fire attribute cultivators, enhancing their cultivation and tempering their physical bodies, far exceeding the value of the previous Sun Bathing Fruit.

If this entire mature Crimson Sun Spirit Tree were auctioned off, it would be worth up to 30,000 low-grade spirit stones, and a single Crimson Sun Fruit would be worth 1,200 low-grade spirit stones!

Lin Che carefully picked six of the plumpest Crimson Sun Fruits from the tree and returned to the Crimson Flame Tiger's side.

"Look, this Crimson Sun Fruit is far superior to the Sun-Bathing Fruit you were guarding, isn't it?"

Lin Che placed six Crimson Sun Fruits, each radiating an alluring aroma and pure energy, in front of the Crimson Flame Tiger's nose: "Consider these six fruits my apology for trespassing into your territory, how about it?"

The crimson, tempting fruit was reflected in the Crimson Flame Tiger's enormous pupils.

My mind was filled with doubts.

"Why...why didn't he kill me? That tree...how could it...?"

It was filled with confusion when Lin Che didn't kill it directly but instead went to the fruit tree.

After witnessing the illogical ascension, its shock was beyond measure.

"That power... is that the aura of rules? Who exactly is this human?"

It could clearly sense the immense energy contained within the Crimson Sun Fruit, which was far more beneficial to it than the previous Sun Bathing Fruit.

"This fruit... I really want it... If I eat it, I'm sure I can become stronger..."

I thought all of this was no longer relevant to my critically injured and dying condition.

But this human actually brought these precious fruits back to his side, and even said... this is an apology?

"Why...why didn't you kill me, and even gave me benefits?" The Crimson Flame Tiger's thoughts were completely in chaos, its huge tiger head filled with confusion and bewilderment.

That indomitable and fierce spirit dissipated most of its intensity amidst the confusion.

Sensing the drastic change in its emotions, Lin Che's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

He took out another item from the storage bag.

A second-tier, high-grade Blood Jade Dragon Marrow Fruit.

Inside the fruit, a winding, blood-dragon-shaped spiritual marrow slowly swam like a living creature, radiating a powerful aura of life and blood.

These are top-quality healing fruits. Lin Che has three in his hand, originally prepared for himself and his spirit beast, but unexpectedly this guy got them first.

"Here, eat this, and your injuries will heal." Lin Che handed the Dragon Marrow Fruit to the Crimson Flame Tiger's mouth.

"This...this is...such pure life force!" The Crimson Flame Tiger's pupils dilated suddenly.

The desperate need for life energy in a severely injured body is instinctive.

At this moment, it faces a choice: either wait silently for death here, or believe this strange but seemingly harmless human.

The stubborn arrogance in its eyes finally began to crumble under the pressure of the desire to survive and the series of shocks it experienced.

After hesitating for a moment, it finally opened its mouth slightly and swallowed the Blood Jade Dragon Marrow Fruit.

Once the fruit entered the stomach, it instantly transformed into a warm and powerful torrent of life. The dragon-shaped spiritual essence precisely swam to various wounds, repairing damaged meridians and healing torn flesh wherever it passed.

Lin Che simultaneously extended his hand, his palm covered with gentle wood-attribute true essence, and gently placed it on the forehead of the Crimson Flame Tiger to help it channel the medicinal power and accelerate its recovery.

In less than half an hour, with the help of the precious Blood Jade Dragon Marrow Fruit and Lin Che, the Crimson Flame Tiger was able to stand up again!

After stretching his body, he found that his injuries had mostly healed and his strength had recovered to about 70%.

It looked at Lin Che with a complicated expression.

The proud creature couldn't bring itself to repay kindness with enmity or ambush its savior, yet the other party had invaded its territory. Thus, it stood before Lin Che, filled with contradictions.

Through the Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts, Lin Che had been sensing the changes in its emotions, from rage and confusion to shock and now to the complex emotions it was experiencing, and knew that the time was ripe.

"Phew, all done." Lin Che clapped his hands and pushed the six Crimson Sun Fruits back in front of the Crimson Flame Tiger: "These are yours, as I promised."

"He really gave it to me? He wasn't lying to me?"

The Crimson Flame Tiger stared at the Crimson Sun Fruit before it, which radiated an alluring glow and energy, its eyes filled with longing and a hint of disbelief.

As a monster with a relatively low IQ, Lin Che's series of illogical actions were a bit too much for its simple and straightforward mind to process.

Lin Che thoughtfully took two steps back to indicate that he should eat.

The Crimson Flame Tiger then lowered its head, carefully picked up a Crimson Sun Fruit, and began to chew.

In an instant, the rich, sweet juice burst in its mouth, and a pure and gentle solar essence and fire-attribute energy instantly flowed through its limbs and bones, nourishing its body and blood.

"It's so delicious! And... my demonic power is increasing!"

The Crimson Tiger's eyes instantly shone with an astonishing light, and its face revealed an expression of extreme satisfaction and enjoyment. It even unconsciously let out a low, pleasurable hum.

After it had savored the flavor, Lin Che finally revealed his true intentions, smiling as he extended an invitation: "How was the taste? I'd like to invite you to become my companion, just like Sparrow. If you agree, you'll have plenty of these fire-attribute spiritual creatures from now on!"

"To become his...partner?"

Although he wasn't very intelligent, he roughly understood what Lin Che meant; he probably wanted him to be like that big bird.

Looking at the red figure behind the other party, even the guy who exuded such a strong aura of noble bloodline chose to submit.

Becoming his "spirit beast" is not unacceptable, and wouldn't I become stronger after becoming his spirit beast?

The allure of delicious food and the yearning for power ultimately triumphed over the last vestige of hesitation.

It let out a low whimper, walked up to Lin Che, and slowly lowered its huge head, which had once symbolized majesty and power, to cool the temperature of the flames on its body. It then gently rubbed its forehead against the back of Lin Che's hand.

It expresses his submissive and submissive attitude.

Seeing this, the Burning Heaven Sacred Sparrow turned its head away disdainfully and let out a soft snort: "Hmph, bowing down for a few fruits, truly disgracing us fire-attribute spirit beasts!"

Lin Che was in high spirits at the moment, not expecting to gain so much from this trip!

He struck while the iron was hot, immediately separating a wisp of his divine sense to condense a Beast Taming Soul Seal, which he slowly injected into the Crimson Flame Tiger's unresisting sea of ​​consciousness.

As the soul imprint merged, the Crimson Flame Tiger immediately felt a wonderful and incredibly intimate spiritual connection with Lin Che, and its gaze towards Lin Che became even more docile.

Lin Che vigorously rubbed the Crimson Flame Tiger's fluffy head. The texture was slightly rough, far less soft than the wings of the Burning Sky Sacred Sparrow or the fur of the Illusion Crystal Seeking Beast, but he was still very happy.

Immediately, he began to deal with important matters, transplanting the Crimson Sun Spirit Tree.

This is a delicate technical job.

He took out a second-tier jade shovel specifically used for transplanting spiritual plants and carefully began digging down along a three-meter radius around the fruit tree.

When encountering a tangled root system, avoid it if possible; if it cannot be avoided, use a sharp jade knife to cut it quickly and smoothly.

Finally, a huge earthen ball containing a large amount of native soil was created.

He carefully wrapped the earthen ball with silk soaked in sacred water to lock in the tree's essence, and then placed a "soul-soothing talisman" on the trunk to calm the spiritual shock that the relocation might cause.

After doing all this, Lin Che finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the entire Crimson Sun Spirit Tree into his storage bag.

"Alright, let's go." Lin Che was in a good mood. He took the newly tamed Crimson Flame Tiger, the Burning Sky Sacred Sparrow, and the Illusion Crystal Seeker Beast in his arms, and turned to walk out of the cave.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the cave, before he could even breathe in the fresh air, Lin Che's keen senses detected a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from not far away, indicating that a battle was taking place!

Almost simultaneously, a panicked woman's voice rang out: "What...what are you doing! Don't come any closer!"
