This is the onlypillhe can take right now, as for theGathering Qi Pill, it is used by disciples in theQi Refiningstage for cultivation.

Looking at thepillin his hand,Su Twelvehesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes and swallowed the pill.

As soon as thepillentered his throat,Su Twelveimmediately felt a warm flow spread throughout his body, like basking in the sun, it felt incredibly comfortable.

This sensation lasted for a whole hour.

When the warm flow dissipated,Su Twelveopened his eyes and saw that a thick layer of black, grimy impurities had unexpectedly seeped out of his body.

He quickly ran to the yard and washed away the impurities on his body. Then, after taking a few deep breaths, he felt no discomfort, but instead felt full of energy.

He let out a long sigh of relief and felt his anxious heart settle.

"It seems that thesepillsare indeed fine. Just like the book says, they can remove impurities from the body and enhance physical condition."

"With so manyEnhancement Pills, if I take them all, my body should become extremely strong."

"Then, if I encounter thattigeragain, I won’t be afraid!"

Su Twelvesilently thought to himself as he decided to stay in thewaste pill room, eating theEnhancement Pillsevery day.

He had no idea how extravagant his actions were. TreatingEnhancement Pillsas regular food—this was something unique not only in theCangshan Mountains, but even throughout the entireZhao Kingdom.

If other disciples found out, they would surely be envious to the point of jealousy!

In the world ofcultivating immortals, the success rate ofpill-makingwas extremely low. The entry-level disciples ofYun Song Sectonly received a fewEnhancement Pillseach month—at most ten, and usually only three.

For the next ten days,Su Twelvespent his time on edge.

Every night, thetigerwould appear. Knowing he was no match for it, he could only hide in thewaste pillsand use them to mask his scent.

One morning,Su Twelveswallowed threeEnhancement Pillsagain.

However, this time, there were almost no impurities expelled from his body. He felt no other changes, except for not feeling hungry anymore.

This situation madeSu Twelvefrown.

"It seems that theEnhancement Pillscan’t infinitely improve my body. This is troublesome! Thetigeris still a threat, and if I run into it one day, I’ll be finished."

"I need to think of another way. Even if it’s risky, I need to get rid of it as soon as possible!"

"My physical condition is no worse than those adults. If I could set a trap..."

AsSu Twelvethought, his eyes gleamed. With his enhanced body, his confidence surged, but he knew he wouldn’t engage in hand-to-hand combat with thetigerunless it was absolutely necessary.

Humans and animals have the greatest difference: the ability to think!

Without wasting any time, he immediately checked each room and quickly found a pile of farm tools.

He picked out ashoveland anaxeand began his work.

After a full day’s effort, he dug a pit about five or six meters deep in the yard and chopped down several tree trunks the size of his arms. He sharpened the trunks into points and stuck them upright at the bottom and around the pit.

By evening, a carefully crafted trap appeared in the yard.

He concealed the trap and then crouched in the corner of the yard, holding theaxe, patiently waiting.

He was determined to hunt down thetigerthat night.

Pressing his ear against the wall, he listened closely.

After consuming so manyEnhancement Pills, not only did his physical condition improve, but his senses were also enhanced. Now, he could hear many sounds from a hundred meters away with perfect clarity.

Based on his experiences from the past few days, thetigershould be arriving soon.

Sure enough, soon he heard the rustling of footsteps in the distance.

Hearing the noise, he instinctively gripped theaxetighter, pressed his back against the wall, and kept his eyes fixed on the yard.

"Thud!"

With a muffled sound, thetigerleapt over the wall like it was returning home.

Seeing thetiger,Su Twelveshivered, then immediately swung theaxe, stood up, and braced himself.

Even though he was prepared, facing such an opponent for the first time still made him instinctively terrified, his limbs feeling weak.

This creature’s massive size alone was enough to overpower him easily.

At the same time, thetigeralso noticedSu Twelvein the corner of the yard, sniffing the air for human scent, and its ferocity flared.

"Roar!"

Thetigerroared and opened its blood-red mouth, charging straight atSu Twelve.

Its sharp claws gleamed in the moonlight, and the stench from its mouth was terrifying.

The ground shook under its massive body.

Seeing thetigergetting closer,Su Twelvefelt his heart leap to his throat, his back drenched in cold sweat.

His gaze fell on the trap in front of him, and he felt a little more at ease.

But in the next second, an unexpected change occurred.

Just as thetigerwas about to step into the trap, it suddenly leaped into the air, seemingly about to jump over the trap and directly pounce onSu Twelve.

Su Twelvepanicked. If the trap didn’t work, he would be in serious danger.

"Ah!"

He let out a loud yell, disregarding his fear, and with all his might, threw theaxeat thetigerin mid-air.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, theaxestruck thetiger’shead, causing blood to spurt everywhere.

Now,Su Twelvewas as strong as an ox!

The moment thetigerjumped, it was struck by theaxe, its momentum disrupted as it landed awkwardly.

Upon landing, thetigergrimaced in pain, its eyes wide with fury. It roared and charged towardSu Twelveagain.

But just as it made its move, the ground beneath it suddenly gave way. Caught off guard, it fell straight into the pit.

"Splash~"

A spray of hot blood erupted from the trap as thetigerfell onto the sharp wooden stakes and let out an earth-shattering roar.

But after a few more roars, thetigerwent silent.

Su Twelvehurriedly grabbed theaxeand moved to the side to check.

As soon as he peeked his head out, a dark shadow flashed by—it was thetiger, still alive and leaping up despite its injuries.

Caught off guard,Su Twelvewas slammed aside, and theaxeflew from his hands.

As he hit the ground, he felt his whole body ache. If it hadn’t been for the long-term use ofEnhancement Pills, his enhanced body would have broken from the impact.

"Not good!"

He quickly regained his footing and rushed to stand up.

Just as he rose, he saw thetiger, blood dripping from its body, its bell-like eyes flashing with hatred, pouncing at him again, mouth wide open, its teeth gleaming with cold light.

In a moment of desperation,Su Twelvethrew a handful of dust into thetiger’seyes. Taking advantage of its moment of blindness, he kicked it hard in its wounded side.

With his current strength, the kick was heavy and powerful. Thetiger, in pain, staggered back, almost falling over.

Su Twelvetook this opportunity to roll out of the way and grabbed theaxethat had fallen to the ground.

He swung it with all his might at thetiger.

Now, with all the frustration and anger he had built up over the past few days, he fought fiercely. The feeling of rage coursed through his veins, and he was beyond concerned about whether the trap worked or not.

Thetiger, already injured, was slow and less agile, and it couldn’t even defend itself againstSu Twelve’sattack.

Half an hour later,Su Twelvehad some new wounds, but thetiger, covered in blood, collapsed to the ground, unable to rise again.

"I... I actually killed atigerwith my own strength?! Thepillsfrom those cultivators are amazing!"

Su Twelvestood beside thetiger’scorpse, his heart racing with excitement after the battle.

Hunting atigeron his own had greatly boosted his courage! The sense of accomplishment was hard to describe.

But soon, a wave of fear hit him.

"That was too close. I thought the trap was foolproof, but thetigeractually played dead, and I almost died because I got careless. I need to be much more careful in the future!"

Thetigerpretending to be dead and then counterattacking left a deep impression on him. It also reminded him that no opponent should ever be underestimated.

That night,Su Twelveslept more soundly than ever before.
