Crouching Tiger Grass, named because it resembles a reclining tiger, is a very rare herb. Although it cannot be classified as spiritual medicine, it is only one step away from it.

Of course, this one step makes the difference between Crouching Tiger Grass and spiritual medicine as vast as heaven and earth; they are not on the same level at all.

Even so, the value of Crouching Tiger Grass cannot be denied...

In some cases, the value of Crouching Tiger Grass surpasses that of spiritual medicine... such as when refining a pill called the Tiger's Roar Pill.

The Tiger's Roar Pill is an extremely rare elixir, although the raw materials for its preparation do not reach the level of spiritual medicine, the effect of the refined pill is not weaker than that of spiritual medicine at all.

Especially in certain critical moments, the Tiger's Roar Pill can produce unimaginably miraculous effects... This is an elixir that functions somewhat similarly to the Berserk Potion that Qin Fang has used before.

It's just that the Berserk Potion is an incomplete strengthening potion with significant flaws, which are difficult for Qin Fang to overcome.

But the Tiger's Roar Pill has far fewer side effects than the Berserk Potion. After use, apart from a moment of physical weakness, there is basically no other damage.

Moreover, the strength unleashed by the Tiger's Roar Pill is much stronger than that of the Berserk Potion... This is due to the different enhancement properties they provide.

The Berserk Potion overdraws the body's potential, naturally causing greater damage, and in severe cases, it can cause irreparable damage.

The Tiger's Roar Pill, however, is different. It mainly stimulates the power of every bit of True Qi lying dormant in the body's cells.

Normally, this True Qi lies dormant within the body, not circulating with the True Qi in the meridians, akin to being in a "dormant state". It only unleashes its power when faced with a significant threat.

The efficacy of the Tiger's Roar Pill is to unleash this power of True Qi before the body encounters a threat, enhancing the body's True Qi reserves significantly without causing any harm...

The total amount of True Qi dormant in the bodies of some experts can even exceed the amount circulating in the meridians. Once stimulated by the Tiger's Roar Pill, the amount of True Qi could easily double or multiply several times!

The rarity of the Tiger's Roar Pill is mainly due to the extreme difficulty in finding the primary ingredient, Crouching Tiger Grass. Although some of the other auxiliary materials are also rare herbs, they are relatively easier to find.

And now, not far from Qin Fang, there stands a stalk of Crouching Tiger Grass. How could Qin Fang not be excited?

The Tiger's Roar Pill is a rare elixir that Qin Fang is eager to refine, offering considerable benefits to his safety and strength.

The benefits of consuming the Tiger's Roar Pill are not just limited to unleashing a burst of super strength temporarily. As the True Qi dormant in the muscles and cells is released, it surges into the meridians for a short time, expanding them.

The expansion of the meridians allows them to absorb and contain much more True Qi than before... The larger the amount of True Qi released, the more the meridians expand, resulting in greater overall benefits.

"This stalk of Crouching Tiger Grass is mine..."

It is precisely because of this that when Qin Fang saw the Crouching Tiger Grass, he immediately resolved in his heart that he must obtain it.

Currently, Qin Fang has officially stepped into the Grandmaster-level tier, though he remains at the Grandmaster-level Initial Stage. While his combat strength rivals that of a Grandmaster-level Mid-stage expert, he is still capable of contending with a Late Grandmaster Level Expert.

However, the enemies Qin Fang faces are becoming increasingly powerful... Nowadays, Late Grandmaster Level Experts are nothing outstanding, and Grandmaster Peak Strongmen are as common as dogs, with even Great Grandmasters emerging one after another!

Although Qin Fang personally possesses numerous skills that can effectively assist him in overcoming stronger experts... the risks are also becoming greater.

A couple of ventures might be manageable, gritting his teeth to persevere, but three times, five times, ten times? Whether he can continue to hold on is genuinely an unknown factor.

It's uncertain when a mistake might occur, and Qin Fang could lose the chance to start over.

Therefore, Qin Fang must exhaust all means to enhance his own strength, striving to narrow the gap between himself and those frighteningly powerful experts...

The Tiger's Roar Pill is a good avenue for this, and Qin Fang naturally won't miss the opportunity. Thus, giving up this stalk of Crouching Tiger Grass is out of the question for Qin Fang.

With this in mind, Qin Fang quickly moved along the corridor, proceeding cautiously in the direction of the Crouching Tiger Grass.

Unfortunately, the maze harbors hidden dangers everywhere, and any slight mistake, even for a Grandmaster-level expert like Qin Fang, could lead to demise here.

"Someone..."

Despite moving at a relatively fast pace, as Qin Fang approached closer to the Crouching Tiger Grass, he suddenly noticed a figure moving swiftly on the small map, causing Qin Fang's heart to tense slightly.

After roughly examining the route composition of the maze on the small map, Qin Fang couldn't help but furrow his brows, as this person was also heading in the direction of the Crouching Tiger Grass.
