Just as Hu Le put away the spiritual root He Shou Wu, he heard the sound of a tiger roaring in the mountains.
He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ferocious white tiger suddenly pounce out from the depths of the forest.
The white tiger, enveloped in a foul-smelling demonic wind, pounced on him in the blink of an eye. Without a word, it opened its blood-red maw and bit down, as if it wanted to swallow Hu Le's head whole...
It had been guarding the Polygonum multiflorum in the mountains for many years, waiting for the day when the spiritual root would completely return to its original state and become a primordial spiritual root, before swallowing the medicine and seizing its destiny.
At that time, it will be able to undergo a complete transformation, shed its demonic form, refine the primordial chaos, and become a primordial deity.
But when Hu Le arrived today, he directly uprooted the Polygonum multiflorum, which is tantamount to ruining his future fortune. How could he not hate him to death?
However, although it had the ambition to steal the world, it lacked the luck to do so.
It was all because he met Hu Le.
Since this white tiger dared to attack him today, it means that it has already severed its own future.
The white tiger pounced down from mid-air, but Hu Le neither dodged nor avoided it. He simply raised his bamboo staff and flicked it under the tiger's chin.
Unable to withstand the force, the white tiger tumbled backward and flew out, finally crashing heavily onto a boulder.
With a deafening roar, the boulder was smashed into dust.
This fall left it dizzy and seeing stars.
Hu Le, however, was not about to let it go. He raised his hand and threw the bamboo staff in his hand.
The bamboo staff instantly transformed into a streak of purple light, piercing directly into the white tiger's forehead and pinning it firmly to the ground.
"roar……"
The white tiger let out a final roar, and then it breathed its last...
Hu Le reached out and the purple bamboo staff flew out from the white tiger's head, returning to his palm. It was still as smooth as jade, with a vibrant purple hue...
Hu Le casually dealt with the white tiger and continued flying up the mountain on the clouds, encountering some rare and precious treasures along the way.
However, compared to the Polygonum multiflorum he had just tasted, these rare and precious herbs seemed less appealing to him.
He had long since passed the age of digging three feet into the ground and leaving nothing untouched.
With his wealth, he wouldn't bother with anything less than a top-tier treasure...
Soon, he arrived at the mountainside. Just as he flew over a bamboo forest, a hundred-zhang-long azure dragon suddenly flew out from the mountain hollow ahead.
As the Azure Dragon appeared, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and then a torrential downpour began.
The dragon was enveloped in a cloud of white mist, bathed in clouds and rain, and flew leisurely through the mountains and forests.
When Hu Le saw the azure dragon, he frowned slightly, then stared intently at it.
It turned out that he had not sensed any dragon energy from the dragon.
After examining it closely, he realized that the azure dragon was not a pure dragon at all, but was transformed from a primordial spiritual herb.
Just as the Azure Dragon was soaring through the clouds and frolicking joyfully between heaven and earth, a cow's moo suddenly rang out from afar.
Immediately afterwards, a robust white bull emerged from the clouds and galloped towards them.
Upon seeing the white ox, the Azure Dragon seemed to have encountered its nemesis, its form shifting in the wind and transforming into a small green snake about a foot long.
The little green snake transformed into a streak of green lightning, flying rapidly down from the sky and disappearing into the grass. After a few rustling sounds, it vanished without a trace.
The white ox rushed closer, but the Azure Dragon was nowhere to be seen. It wasn't worried; it simply sniffed around in the grass where the Azure Dragon had disappeared.
Then it raised its head and charged towards the pine forest not far away, crashing through the trees with a thunderous roar.
Standing on the cloud, Hu Le saw the white ox's agile figure and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Nowadays, most cultivators in the prehistoric world have their own mounts.
Since he began his cultivation, he has mostly relied on escape light or auspicious clouds to travel, and has never found a suitable mount.
Of course, over the years he has seen many strange beasts, but he has never taken a liking to any of them.
Now that he has seen this white ox, it has finally caught his eye.
The Taoist Taiqing had the Taiyi Green Ox as his mount, while the Taoist Tongtian found the innate exotic species, the Kui Ox.
He was also Pangu, so of course he couldn't let them outdo him.
This ox is also a naturally unique species, seemingly created from a primordial white cloud. It is not a true demon, and sitting on its back does not make one feel inferior...
The white ox was completely unaware that it had been targeted and that danger was about to befall it.
It rushed out of the pine forest and came to a meadow. Finally, it circled around to the back of a boulder, where it saw a lush and verdant fairy herb growing quietly.
The herb is shaped like a dragon, with sword-like leaves, about a foot tall, and a cluster of yellow flowers the size of a bowl blooms at its tip.
At this moment, the immortal herb was spotted by the white ox and immediately trembled with fear. With a flash of light, it disappeared into the ground.
"Hahaha... You think you can escape now that I, Old Ox, have my eye on you?!"
The white bull laughed loudly, raised its front hooves high, and stomped its foot hard on the ground.
"Come out here right now!"
Before it finished speaking, the earth trembled violently. Several feet ahead, a blue light flowed on the ground, and the dragon-shaped immortal herb indeed sprouted from the ground.
As the white ox approached again, the spiritual light above the immortal herb transformed into a blue dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on the white ox.
The white bull snorted and revealed its two sharp horns, charging headlong at the Azure Dragon.
Bang!
The Azure Dragon let out a mournful cry as its body was smashed apart, turning into wisps of spiritual energy that re-entered the immortal herb.
The white ox smiled smugly, slowly walked up to the immortal herb, brought its head close, opened its mouth, and its rough tongue came out, wrapped around the immortal herb, and with a sudden twist, the immortal herb was uprooted.
The white ox swallowed the magic herb whole and then began to chew it with relish.
Just then, Hu Le descended upon it with auspicious clouds.
"Good ox! I'm in need of a means of transportation. Would you be willing to provide it?" Hu Le looked the white ox over with satisfaction and asked with a smile.
Startled, the white ox took several steps back. Upon hearing Hu Le's question, it quickly shook its head.
That makes sense. Unless it was forced to, or it was stupid, it would not give up its freedom to become someone else's mount.
"Hmph! You scoundrel! Who would want to be your mount!"
The white ox snorted coldly, and immediately clouds rose from its four hooves, carrying it up rapidly and flying away into the distance like lightning.
"Hey! Since I've taken a liking to you, there's no way you can refuse."
Hu Le chuckled inwardly, raised his hand and pointed, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and hit the white ox directly.
"ah……"
The white ox was in excruciating pain, a numbing sensation spreading throughout its body, and it plummeted from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground.
Hu Le walked up to the white ox and asked with a smile, "So, my little ox, are you willing to convert now?"
If he hadn't deliberately shown mercy to the bull in order to subdue it, the bull would probably have been reduced to ashes long ago.
The white bull was not about to give in so easily. Once the numbness wore off, it rolled over, revealed its horns, and charged at Hu Le with a bull charge...
