56 Laune’s Determination (1/2)

Shadow proceeded to instruct Lilith on her cultivation method while she set up a wooden bath of water and plucked the petals of the violet jasmine herbs.

The storage bags she had collected contained many useful items which could be used for little tasks like storing water, wooden baths and other tools.

When petals were added to the water it began to give off an pleasant and enchanting smell while the water also turned a little purple.

Lilith entered into the pool to begin her cultivation, a moment after she began her eyes snapped back open after remembering something. ”I almost forgot, the young lady of the tiger clan is asking to speak to you.”

”Thank you, I will go see her now.” Shadow nodded and proceeded to go see what she was needed for.

Seeing the figure leaving Lilith shut her eyes once more and focussed on cultivation.

She slowly began to absorb the effects of the violet jasmine petals in the water which began to infiltrate her body.

Her body turned a little flushed at first under the effects of the herbs effects but grit her teeth and focussed on her cultivation.

As she had been warned by shadow, if she lost focus during cultivation she would suffer from after effects that would cause damage to her body.

Not only damage would be caused but she would fail the first part of the cultivation manual, as she absorbs the effects and integrates the effects into her body and spirit energy she will become immune to the effects herself after mastery.

Although she was not taught a cultivation manual she had been diligent in refining and tempering her spirit energy to be very pure and stable with Shadows instructions.

She circulated her spirit energy through her body and entered her beast core as it travelled back out it left tiny traces of the violet jasmine within the beast core.

If cultivated diligently the spirit energy in her beast core will gradually integrate with those traces and become purple spirit energy with their own unique characteristics.

Arriving back at the camp Shadow stood before the large group of tigers and was greeted by the new leader of the tigers and his wife.

The leader politely greeted Shadow as she appeared before him. ”Thanks for coming, the children have been begging to speak to you.”

”No problem, bring her to me and I will see what she needs.” Shadow nodded her head and waited patiently.

A short amount of time passed before a small but graceful looking female tiger appeared and blinked its eyes before setting them onto the figure before her.

Her nose twitched as she began to show hesitation but shortly afterwards her gaze turned firm and focussed on Shadow after coming to a decision.

Observing the actions of the little tiger Shadow could not help but approve of this brave little child.

Clearly the young tiger had strengthened her mind after facing the threat of her clan being exterminated, she was weak but fled along with several of her clan members but did not possess the strength to do anything to change the situation.

She did not care for fighting and the pursuit of strength but now she craved it more than anyone and her only hope to push herself further would be with Shadows help.

Shadow walked to a secluded space where they could talk and the tiger silently followed behind. ”Speak.”

”I have heard that you have taught many beasts to become stronger in a short amount of time, but after experiencing my clan almost being destroyed I have realised how weak and powerless I am. I want strength to protect my clan members from danger so I must surpass them if I wish to do so.” The tiger bowed her head before Shadow and grit her teeth.

She was the pride of her clan, beautiful, graceful and did not see much of the brutal side of how the world really is.

Not only that but tigers are naturally proud and arrogant creatures because of their noble bloodline being similar to that of a divine beast the white tiger so naturally it showed how much it meant for the little tiger to bow her head before another.

However what good was keeping ones dignity before survival?

No matter what existence it is, in the face of death they would choose whatever choice they were given in hopes of survival.

Now that Shadow saved the clan in their moment of despair she would resolutely follow Shadows wishes and put in every effort to be of help to her.

After a few moments of silence Shadow spoke up. ”Since you have shown your sincerity I will ask you some questions so answer me honestly.”

”I will do my best!” The tiger nodded.
