Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1417: Tempering

The mother and daughter did not stay on the outskirts this time; they went to the place they visited last time and continued from there.

"Mom, don’t you think the sect’s Trial Arena is even larger than the previous country’s?"

Yuanyuan nodded, "I also feel this place is very unusual."

During the day, the mother and daughter killed demon beasts and rested in the Array Plate at night.

Li Shaobai had been following them all along but had not been detected by them.

Now mother and daughter were about to enter the Golden Core Stage Trial Arena.

Watching their abilities along the way, Li Shaobai couldn’t help but marvel at how impressive they were, and mother and daughter truly had a solid foundation.

When day broke, the mother and daughter packed up the Array Plate. Su Yuanyuan had discovered Li Shaobai’s trace yesterday, and she felt a bit worried about what this person meant. Normally, he was an elder from the sect. But if this person harbors ill intentions, then they had to be cautious.

"Today, we’re entering the Golden Core Trial Arena. We have to be careful. We’ll go in and try; if we can’t manage, we’ll head back."

"Mom, wasn’t the last map here? Should we check it out?"

Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment, "Let’s see, we can’t be sure now." She wrote ’someone following’ in her daughter’s palm, making Qi Wen a bit nervous.

Mother and daughter stepped into the Golden Core Stage Trial Arena, where the demon beasts were of Sixth and Seventh Rank.

Su Yuanyuan found it really challenging to deal with them. That day, mother and daughter encountered a Seventh Rank Ice Flame Tiger.

"Mom, there really is an Ice Spirit Root."

"There definitely must be. Be careful, if need be, run."

"Mom, we really can’t outrun them."

With someone following them, they couldn’t enter the space, which was downright frustrating.

No time to discuss now, as the Ice Flame Tiger had already launched an attack on them.

Su Yuanyuan transmitted a message to Qi Wen, and they headed to the map location. It wasn’t that they couldn’t handle the Ice Flame Tiger—it’s just that the Nascent Soul Cultivator following them couldn’t see the Demon Suppression Tower.

Su Yuanyuan fought with the Ice Flame Tiger, while Qi Wen ran.

The Ice Flame Tiger didn’t care and just stared at Su Yuanyuan.

Now the Demon Suppression Tower in the space was restless and agitated.

The long-armed ape was so disturbed that it simply ignored it, anyway it couldn’t affect the master; otherwise, the master could take back its rights to communicate outside.

The Seventh Rank Ice Flame Tiger was incredibly formidable, especially its Ice Blade, which even tore through Su Yuanyuan’s vestment robe. It shows just how dangerous it was.

Su Yuanyuan’s Protective Shield couldn’t withstand its attack anymore; such a passive position was a first for her, and it was honestly very embarrassing.

She resented Li Shaobai angrily in her heart, what a lunatic, why follow them? If it really doesn’t work, she would have to use the Demon Suppression Tower, and then Li Shaobai wouldn’t survive either.

Su Yuanyuan was unwilling to attack sect members; after all, they held no grievances yet. She couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Su Yuanyuan supported her injured left hand, knowing this passivity was untenable. She threw out a Sixth Rank Array Plate, deciding to first control the Ice Flame Tiger.

This was a Sixth Rank Compound Array Plate, and she swiftly entered the array. Li Shaobai outside was a bit anxious, as his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate into this Sixth Rank Array Plate, not knowing the situation inside.

Once inside the array, Su Yuanyuan immediately began healing herself. She directly released the Demon Suppression Tower, "I’m telling you, don’t overdo it, don’t let others see."

"Master, you know, I just want its Demon Core."

"Collect the Demon Blood for me."

The Demon Suppression Tower happily went to work. Its appearance made the Ice Flame Tiger tremble.

The Demon Suppression Tower collecting it was simply a breeze.

Su Yuanyuan received a bottle of Seventh Rank demon beast blood.

"Master, I know the Ice Flame Tiger’s lair, shall we take a look?"

"Alright, I’ll send a message to Qi Wen."

Qi Wen was not far away; she too worried about her mom, although she couldn’t do anything and might be a burden.

Upon receiving the message, Qi Wen quickly returned, and mother and daughter rested together in the array.

Li Shaobai was finally relieved; he became all the more intrigued by Su Yuanyuan. He knew the Ice Flame Tiger inside must have been dealt with.

Honestly, even he would take some time to handle the Ice Flame Tiger. He hadn’t expected the woman he fancied to be so impressive.

After coming to an agreement, the mother and daughter then packed up the Array Plate. There was no more Ice Flame Tiger here.

They started running quickly toward the direction that the Demon Suppression Tower indicated—it was the Ice Flame Tiger’s territory. There wouldn’t be any danger for a short period.

Li Shaobai followed them, wanting to see what this woman was up to. Besides, she must have a valuable treasure; how else could a Foundation Establishment opponent best a Seventh Rank demon beast? Expertise alone wasn’t enough.

Mother and daughter ran for about two hours, almost reaching the Ice Flame Tiger’s lair.

"Is there danger inside?"

"Master, no."

After entering, Su Yuanyuan quickly deployed a Sixth Rank Array Plate.

Only then did the mother and daughter feel reassured, thoroughly annoyed by the person following them.

They didn’t hurry but sat down to rest first. Outside, Li Shaobai felt somewhat irritable, wondering what the situation was? Did they know he was following, or was it just an unconscious reaction?

The Sixth Rank Array Plate would be laborious for him to attack. The main thing now was that he didn’t want to affect his image in Su Yuanyuan’s mind; little did he know, Su Yuanyuan already despised him.

Mother and daughter rested in the array for a while, then began inspecting the Ice Flame Tiger’s lair.

"Mom, look, these are all Ice Attribute Spirit Plants, quickly collect them."

Su Yuanyuan waved her hand, and the whole patch of Spirit Plants was collected by her.

"Is Ice Spirit Root a mutation of Water Spirit Root?"

Su Yuanyuan didn’t know, confusedly shaking her head, "The usual explanation would be yes."

"Master, Master, there are Ice Spirit Veins inside."

At the mention of Spirit Veins, Su Yuanyuan was thrilled.

She concentrated on sensing them, excitedly moving over, "It’s best that we each take a section and nurture them inside slowly."

Tan Shaoting had already taught Su Yuanyuan the Spell for Collecting Spirit Veins.

About an hour later, Su Yuanyuan collected a section, Qi Wen collected one, and the remaining five sections were placed in a Jade Box.

"What else?"

"Master, I don’t know the rest; I don’t have a treasure-seeking function."

Hearing the Demon Suppression Tower’s grievances, Su Yuanyuan decided to ignore it. The mother and daughter searched slowly; after all, they weren’t planning to leave here any time soon, letting the fool outside wait.

They also found some Storage Bags, Storage Rings, which were from cultivators unable to defeat the Ice Flame Tiger; "Mom, did that creature actually know to collect these?"

"Indeed, the Seventh Rank surely develops thoughts?"

"Yes, in the Star Cloud Realm, Seventh Rank can Transform, but here Transformation requires Ninth Rank."

"Cultivating to Seventh Rank is indeed quite challenging."
