As a Tiger, it was already incredibly difficult for it to gain sentience, and without any Cultivation Technique, reaching this point was even more arduous.
It could be said that it was the most aware of the difficulties involved.
To increase its Dao, it constantly searched for various spiritual herbs throughout the mountains.
For spiritual herbs of lower age, it had some sentient lesser demons guard them.
For itself, the area to search was too vast, and it couldn't constantly guard these spiritual herbs that weren't old enough, so having these lesser demons guard them was the most suitable option.
If an accident occurred during the guarding and these lesser demons couldn't handle it, they could call it, and it would still arrive in time.
This time, it had also rushed over after hearing the Deer's cry.
Upon seeing the spiritual herb picked, it was naturally furious.
As for the people present, it decided to be merciful to He Xiuyuan, who had spoken up about putting the spiritual herb down, and let him go.
As for the others, they would naturally be killed as a warning to others.
Previously, it hadn't shown itself in front of these Mortals, thinking not to cause unnecessary trouble.
But now, the spiritual herb had been picked, how could it not be enraged!
One must know, this was its only chance to increase its Dao at the moment; these Mortals had essentially ruined its Dao!
What it never expected, however, was that among these Mortals, there was actually a Cultivator!
It had heard rumors before that these Cultivators were always high and mighty, cultivating in seclusion from the world, rarely showing themselves, and even less frequently appearing in the Mortal World?
Why, this time, did it see a Cultivator among these Mortals?
The Tiger felt curious, but at this moment, a strong sense of hope arose in its heart.
If... it could seek guidance from the person in front of it, wouldn't that mean it had hope for Cultivation?
If a demon like it hadn't gained sentience, it would have lived its life hunting and reproducing in the mountains, ignorant of everything.
But now, having gained sentience, it was naturally unwilling to stop there.
Nor was it willing to fail to find the Great Dao and then pass away in the mountains.
Thinking of this, the Tiger suddenly knelt down to He Xiuyuan, just like the Deer beside it.
The Deer, which had almost buried its head in the dirt, suddenly felt a strong Demonic Qi beside it.
Especially the Tiger's heavy breathing, which was practically blowing on its face.
This scene made the Deer tremble even more, and then it cautiously raised its head, wanting to see what the Tiger was doing.
But when it looked up, it almost fainted.
It saw that the usually powerful Tiger was also kneeling down at this moment, in a row with it.
The Deer's mind was in a chaotic mess at this sight.
It was afraid of the Tiger kneeling just now; why was the Tiger kneeling like this?
And Zhou Yong and the others in front felt even more numb at this sight.
After seeing the Tiger, especially after seeing it speak, they thought it was normal for the Deer to kneel.
But now, why was the Tiger kneeling like this?
Zhou Yong and the others held their breath, staring at the Tiger in astonishment.
After kneeling down, the Tiger spoke to He Xiuyuan.
"Sir, I have Cultivated in these mountains for many years; initially, my Cultivation could increase a little, but later, no matter how I Cultivated, my Cultivation would not increase at all."
"Only by eating some spiritual herbs can my Cultivation increase a little, but these spiritual herbs are truly too few, and waiting for them to grow to a sufficient age is even harder to wait for."
"May I ask Sir to teach me the Dao of Cultivation?"
By the end, the Tiger's tone was sincere, only seeking He Xiuyuan's guidance on Cultivation.
He Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment when he saw the Tiger kneel and heard its words, then his heart jolted.
This fellow had come to ask him for Cultivation methods.
But the problem was, he had only Cultivated for a few days, how could he know how to Cultivate?
As for guiding this Tiger, it was even more impossible.
From the Tiger's Qi, its Dao was higher than his; how could he, a person who had only Cultivated for a few days, guide a demon whose Dao was unknown?
He Xiuyuan was afraid that if he spoke, he would expose his low Cultivation.
If he spoke nonsense and this demon saw through him, wouldn't it just eat him directly and treat him as a supplement?
As He Xiuyuan thought this, he felt cold sweat about to flow down.
The kneeling Tiger, seeing He Xiuyuan remain silent for a long time, also became a little anxious.
Was this Sir unwilling to guide him?
Did he think it was a demon and was unwilling to guide it?
Thinking this, the Tiger's mind suddenly became chaotic.
"Please, Sir, teach me!"
The Tiger couldn't care less at this moment.
It was hard to encounter a Cultivator; if it missed this opportunity, finding a Cultivator later would be harder than ascending to heaven.
Moreover, it vaguely felt that this might be its only chance to seek the Dao.
"It's not that I'm unwilling to teach you, but my Dao is shallow, and I have nothing to teach you."
He Xiuyuan, hearing the Tiger's words, finally broke his silence and spoke truthfully with a helpless expression.
He had only Cultivated one Cultivation Technique so far; what could he use to teach this Tiger?
And the other party's strength was clearly stronger than his.
However, facing He Xiuyuan's words, the Tiger became anxious.
In its opinion, this was just He Xiuyuan's excuse.
As a Cultivator, He Xiuyuan clearly had a legitimate Dao of Cultivation, which was much stronger than its wild path.
How could He Xiuyuan, a legitimate Cultivator, not be able to guide it?
If He Xiuyuan didn't even have it, then its path to Cultivation would be cut off.
But why was this Cultivator in front of it unwilling to guide it?
The Tiger's eyes flickered, and after much thought, it suddenly seemed to realize something and instantly understood.
"Sir, I have been in these mountains for many years, but I have never harmed anyone; Sir can ask these Mortals if there has ever been a Tiger harming people in the mountains?"
"Today's incident was only because I saw the spiritual herb I had guarded for many years being pulled out, and my heart was filled with anger."
"Please, Sir, for the sake of me not having harmed anyone for many years, give me some guidance."
As the Tiger spoke, its tone was sorrowful, and its large Tiger head even knocked into the dirt, creating a deep pit.
This posture was solely to seek He Xiuyuan's guidance.
He Xiuyuan felt somewhat uneasy upon hearing this.
The Tiger's words were too sincere, making it difficult for He Xiuyuan to refuse.
But the problem was, he really didn't know how to guide the other party in Cultivation!
