Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"If you want to kill, you must be prepared to be killed."

With a casual wave of his hand, the light shield instantly disappeared at Mater Magi\'s command, and the impatient Ref immediately pierced through the Azure Flame Lynx\'s paw and throat with a single claw.

This Azure Flame Lynx was only a third rank intermediate Novice and was clearly no match for Red.

Furthermore, in the eyes of spiritual beasts, the spirit master they formed a contract with was more crucial than their own lives. Thus, the Azure Flame Lynx, seeking Regret\'s life, received no mercy from the Red. With a single strike to kill, there was no room for hesitation.

Watching the Red devour the Azure Flame Lynx\'s core, Regret turned his gaze towards the front of the forest, where the purple mysterious leaves and moon ink flowers grew.

In the dense forest, a thin mist lingered in the air, providing a cool and viscous sensation upon contact with the skin.

Under a tall tree, Regret carefully collected the herbs on the ground. His bag already contained a good amount of Purple Xuan Leaves and Moon Ink Flowers. The Purple Xuan Leaves were easily identifiable purple in color with four leaves, while the Moon Ink Flowers were black with delicate patterns that seemed to show faint crescent shaped light spots.

After a while, Regret sighed with relief and leaned against the tree, feeling drained. Herb gathering was not an easy task, requiring prolonged concentration that easily led to fatigue.

Seeing Regret finish the tedious work, Red happily nodded, then lightly jumped onto Regret\'s shoulder.

"Next, we should gather the Azure Spirit Thorn Vine. However, around this herb, there are often creatures called Thorn Vine Snakes, so we need to be careful," the Master Magi floated in the air, waving his hand to dispel the protective aura within a three meter radius. Without this shield, Regret would not have been so at ease collecting herbs under the trees.

Regret nodded, scanned the surroundings for any danger, and then hoisted the bag onto his back, heading in the direction indicated by the Master Magi.

"When you have enough money, You\'ll have to buy a Void Stone. Otherwise, you might regret it if you find something good but have no way to carry it," the Master Magi glanced at the bag on Regret\'s back and muttered.

The Void Stone was a magical item used on the Beast Spirit Continent to store items. While it appeared as an ordinary rectangular stone on the outside, it contained a vast space within, capable of storing anything except living creatures.

"A basic Void Stone costs at least ten thousand gold coins. Where would I get so much money?" Regret helplessly retorted. In the entire Blaze family, there were only three Void Stones, one with his father and the other two held by the elders.

"As long as you become an alchemist, obtaining gold coins is just a piece of cake." Master Magi chuckled heartlessly.

"Well, it also depends on whether I have the talent for it." Regret muttered in his heart. Becoming an alchemist isn\'t that easy. Just the requirement of having Fire type spiritual power alone already eliminates the majority of spiritualists. Moreover, alchemy has strict requirements for talent. If it were easy, alchemists would be everywhere already, not as rare as they are now.

However, in the next moment, a firm determination flashed in Regret\'s eyes. Regardless of whether he had the talent or not, he had time and Master Magi\'s assistance by his side. He refused to believe that he would be weaker than that Kamal!

"We\'re almost there." Master Magi floated in front of Regret, gently lifting his chin. The azure spirit thorn vines grew abundantly on the mountain walls, making them easy to spot.

The closer they got to the mountain walls, the stronger the spiritual beasts they encountered. By now, third and fourth tier spiritual beasts were basically nowhere to be seen. Just a while ago, Regret even saw a seventh tier spiritual beast, but it quickly retreated under the intimidation of Master Magi.

The trees in front gradually thinned out, and the silhouette of the Ink Mountain appeared in their sight. Regret looked at the densely packed thorn vines on the mountain and felt relieved. He had been worried that there might not be this kind of medicinal herb on the mountain behind the Blaze family, but now it seemed that he had been overly concerned.

Regret was about to command Red to harvest the azure spirit thorn vines when Master Magi\'s voice, slightly hoarse, suddenly sounded.

"You go up there on your own."

Upon hearing this, Regret was visibly stunned, then looked at Master Magi in bewilderment. Was he kidding? How could he climb up such a steep mountainside!

The master Magi, upon seeing the situation, just chuckled lightly, "Do you know why you need to practice the Flame Step? Although this kind of body technique seems ordinary, in terms of explosiveness and speed, few spirit techniques can compare. Once mastered to perfection, not only mountains, but even lakes will feel like flat ground."

Regret\'s gaze shifted to the sword like mountain wall, covered with dense blue spirit thorns and occasional shadowy movements undoubtedly the thorn snakes.

"Let\'s go up. The worst that can happen is a couple of bites."

With a leap from his shoulder, Regret drew out the Flame Step hidden inside his clothes. With a touch of his finger, a massive amount of information flooded his mind, causing the flame Step technique to gradually dissipate from his hand. "Whoosh!"
