Full-Time Magister: My Elements Evolve Infinitely

Chapter 56: A Promise of "A Lifetime"

"It really is a totem creature!"

After listening to Bai Suwei's story, Lin Yu came to his senses and couldn't help but sigh.

Before humans became powerful through magic, totem beasts protected their reproduction and growth.

Just by listening to Bai Suwei's story, Lin Yu was able to empathize with the helplessness and weakness of humankind in that ancient era.

"So you do know something!" Bai Suwei suddenly grabbed Lin Yu's shoulder. "Tell me, do you know where this tiger is right now?"

Bai Suwei looked very excited, her face flushed and her eyes filled with anxiety as she looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu snapped out of his daze, looked at Bai Su, and sighed slightly. "I'm sorry, teacher, I really don't know where this tiger is, and it may have disappeared into the river of time."

"I just know that these amazing creatures really exist in this world."

Bai Suwei released Lin Yu's shoulder upon hearing his words, her expression turning dejected. "You should have realized it by now. I am a descendant of the woman who once raised that tiger."

Lin Yu nodded; it was obvious.

Bai Suwei opened the slightly intact book and continued speaking in a very low voice, "According to records, two or three hundred years ago, one of my ancestors saw that tiger."

Later, in order to follow in the footsteps of that tiger, our ancestors kept moving around the country.

According to my mother, my maternal grandmother did not grow up in Shanghai. She brought my mother to Shanghai to continue searching for the tiger and our hometown.

My mother told me that the reason my grandmother came to Shanghai was because a strange person told her that she might be able to meet someone in Shanghai who could help us find our hometown and the tiger.

At this point, Bai Suwei looked at Lin Yu again, "Do you know why I'm telling you all this?"

Lin Yu was a little embarrassed. "You don't actually think that I'm the one who can help you find your hometown and totem beast, do you?"

Bai Suwei nodded. "I know the tiger is definitely not dead, and you will definitely be able to lead me to it."

"Why are you so sure?" Lin Yu pointed to himself, looking puzzled and confused.

"Actually, every generation of us who have inherited the Xun has a special ability." Bai Suwei tilted her head and looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression. "As long as we play the Xun, we can feel its presence."

"As for why I'm sure you can help me, it's because I sensed something similar to it from you, or rather, from your contracted creature. Although it's still very faint."

Lin Yu believed Bai Suwei's explanation.

There is indeed some subtle connection between totem guardians and totem beasts.

But it's strange that Xiao Lan has this ancient totem feel to her.

Xiao Lan has a very strong true dragon bloodline; even Lin Yu himself doesn't know the limits of her achievements.

A tiger that is comparable to or even stronger than Little Blue.

tiger??!!

Suddenly, Lin Yu thought of a totem.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.

White Tiger!! It's a tiger too!!

Could it be that what Bai Suwei inherited was a totem of the white tiger?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Suwei, "Teacher, is there any record of what color that tiger was?"

Seeing Lin Yu's excitement, Bai Suwei also became excited. "It's white! That tiger is white. According to records, its teeth and claws can split mountains and crack rocks, and even process meteorite iron. Our surname, Bai, is derived from its color."

Hearing Bai Suwei's words, Lin Yu took a deep breath.

A white tiger, extremely powerful, and has lived for thousands of years.

All of this aligns with the information about the "White Tiger," one of the Four Sacred Totems.

Could it be that I've found the White Tiger totem?

"What's wrong? Do you know anything about it?" Seeing Lin Yu's shocked expression, Bai Suwei quickly continued, "If you do, please tell me. I'll agree to any condition, anything!!"

After saying that, she grabbed Lin Yu's arm, her eyes full of anticipation.

Seeing Bai Suwei's appearance, Lin Yu sighed deeply, and his earlier excitement subsided considerably.

Even if the tiger Bai Suwei mentioned is the White Tiger, one of the Four Sacred Totems, so what? It only confirms that the White Tiger is still alive.

Finding it is almost impossible; even the guardians who possess the totem have not seen it for over 200 years.

In the original work, the White Tiger never appeared from beginning to end; only a descendant with a similar bloodline appeared.

"I'm sorry, teacher." Lin Yu shook his head with a wry smile. "What I know is just a guess. I really want to find it, but..."

"It's alright," Bai Suwei interrupted Lin Yu. "I'm not in a hurry, and you don't need to search for it deliberately."

"I believe what my grandmother passed down: you must be the one who can help me find the tiger."

After saying that, Bai Suwei rummaged through the wooden box again and finally pulled out something that looked like a dagger.

The exposed section looked like a bone, while the other section was encased in a dark sheath.

She carefully handed the object to Lin Yu, saying, "Take this. This is the tooth used to carve the 'xun' (a type of ancient Chinese wind instrument). I think you'll definitely need it in the future."

"It will also react when it gets close to a tiger."

"This..." Lin Yu looked at the tooth with some excitement. If he wasn't mistaken, this was very likely the White Tiger's tooth, which was one of the Four Sacred Totems. He swallowed and looked away. "I'm sorry, teacher, it's too precious for me to accept. Besides, I might not be able to find one again."

"I'm not giving it to you, I'm lending it to you." Bai Suwei directly stuffed the bone knife, or rather, the tooth, into Lin Yu's arms. "You can return it to me when you or I die."

"We've waited so many years, I'm willing to wait a lifetime for you."

Looking at Bai Suwei's serious expression, Lin Yu felt a sense of receiving a token of their love.

After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to accept it anyway, just in case. What if he really did run into it?

That's a 'White Tiger'!

Lin Yu snapped out of his daze, put away the tooth, and looked at Bai Suwei seriously, saying, "I'll keep it. If I find it, I'll definitely tell you."

"No matter how many years have passed."

"Okay!" Bai Suwei seemed to have finally fulfilled a long-held wish, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

I checked the time; it was already 3 a.m.

Without lingering, Lin Yu made an excuse to leave Bai Suwei's house and headed towards the Male Scaled Demon residential area.

Although encountering Bai Suwei, who is suspected to be a descendant of the guardian of the White Tiger, one of the Four Sacred Totems, made Lin Yu very excited.

However, the 'White Tiger' is too far away, and I may never find it in this lifetime.

As for the Scaled Demon Mother, that's twenty million.

After leaving the area of ​​Bai Suwei's apartment, Lin Yu began to draw a star map of the summoning system.

I'm still too slow at walking. The little dragon has so much debt, I have to pay it all back.

A rift in the contract space has opened.

Xiao Lan immediately crawled out, looking fierce, as if she wanted to settle the score with Lin Yu for forcibly taking her back earlier.

Before Lin Yu could even begin his PUA tactics...

The originally aggressive Xiao Lan was taken aback. As if it had discovered something, its huge head approached Lin Yu and began to search around.
