Chapter 361: The Purple Crystal Winged Lion Clan!
The item Jiang Lin had dropped was the Purple Crystal Broken Horn that he had originally picked up from the ground—something no one wanted.
Purple Crystal Winged Lion King: That was clearly mine!!!
Jiang Lin: Nonsense! It was on the ground, so it was discarded!
Initially, Jiang Lin had planned to use this broken horn to try to refine a sealing-type Dou Qi weapon, but he had never found the right opportunity. Additionally, refining sealing-type Dou Qi weapons was a bit premature for Jiang Lin at his current stage.
At this point, Jiang Lin's fist was still the simplest and most efficient weapon.
If Jiang Lin wanted to refine a truly suitable sealing-type Dou Qi weapon that would match his combat rhythm, he would have to wait until he mastered the power of space before he could refine a useful sealing weapon.
So, this Purple Crystal Broken Horn that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had discarded, after a long journey, had ultimately returned to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's side.
Of course, you can always trust Jiang Lin's character—he would never suffer a loss.
At this moment, the Purple Crystal Broken Horn had no particular use for Jiang Lin, but using it to provide a comprehensive service to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was a rare opportunity.
Someone might ask, what if fixing the broken horn is difficult?
Well, isn't it obvious? Didn't you see Jiang Lin didn't say for sure that he could do it?
Of course, Jiang Lin felt confident in his success rate because, in his view, repairing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's broken horn was as complex as repairing a Sixth-Grade Mystic Weapon. It was no small task.
Jiang Lin could now view a living being as a more advanced form of biological technology. As for the special energy organs on magical beasts, Jiang Lin saw them as biological Dou Qi weapons.
Once it involved Dou Qi weapons, things became very simple.
Whether it was the original three stages of Dou Qi weapons (Dou Qi weapons, Mystic Weapons, and Spirit Weapons), or the new four stages (Dou Qi weapons, Mystic Weapons, Super-Class, and Spirit Weapons), the most fundamental thing in both systems was always the unchanging "Dou Qi Weapon"—the "principle of Dou Qi energy."
Understanding the characteristics and principles of Dou Qi energy was the core of the Dou Qi weapons system. This fundamental core was like basic arithmetic for a Refining Master. It seemed simple, but it would carry through all subsequent related research. Mystic Weapons, Super-Class Mystic Weapons, and Spirit Weapons were just various functions and higher-order formulas derived from the foundation of Dou Qi weapons.
Repairing the Purple Crystal Broken Horn for the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was like solving a high-level math problem. There might be high-level functions Jiang Lin wasn't familiar with, but as long as he had enough time, he could use the simplest arithmetic to gradually deduce the correct answer. Also, he didn't just know "low-level algorithms." The Purple Crystal Broken Horn had been in his hands for over a year and had essentially been thoroughly researched by Jiang Lin.
For Jiang Lin, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's situation was like solving related practice problems after learning a unit formula in a math textbook.
Moreover, repairing the Purple Crystal Broken Horn wasn't too difficult. A typical Third- or Fourth-Grade Refining Master would have the knowledge to repair the broken horn, but having the knowledge didn't guarantee success. It was like how, in middle school math, you study the same old formulas, but not everyone can solve the problems.
Jiang Lin wasn't necessarily much deeper in his refining knowledge compared to those veteran Fifth- and Sixth-Grade Refining Masters, but he had a pair of eyes capable of seeing through illusions and directly reaching the essence of the problem. Coupled with Jiang Lin's unique thought system, he had become what he was—a madman.
"Repair... the broken horn?!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's expression changed drastically as she seriously questioned whether she had heard wrong!
"Human! Do you know what you're saying?!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared to the sky. "Are you insulting me?!"
Facing the questioning of the "wild beast" Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, Jiang Lin understood, but that didn't mean he had to empathize. He responded with a slight smile of disdain and said, "I understand your feelings, but that doesn't mean I will keep tolerating your ignorance."
It was natural that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King didn't believe Jiang Lin's words, because the world's understanding of "life itself is a form of technology" was very shallow. Only a few people had walked this path, and they were from forces that outsiders couldn't easily understand, like the Spirit Clan's "Sacred Weapons" and the Soul Clan's Soul Devices.
However, Jiang Lin was lucky. He had encountered similar existences within the Gama Empire, such as the Mo family, and also the Purple Cloud Wings he had discovered in the cave of the Magical Beast Mountain. These were all beings that unknowingly walked the path of "life as technology," and Jiang Lin was just walking this path with more clarity.
"I came to you with the intention of cooperation. Telling you I could attempt to repair your broken horn is meant to make our communication more harmonious. Now, our attitude is clear. If you insist on being stubborn, we will have to spar in other ways."
Jiang Lin's eyes gleamed with brilliant red-golden light as he spoke. While speaking, with the thunder stirring in the sky and his red-golden six wings propelling him, Jiang Lin moved step by step toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King below!
Jiang Lin's actions immediately alerted Yun Yun and Hai Bodong behind him, who became extremely cautious. Jiang Lin, stepping over them and directly pressuring the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, was too dangerous! If the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King made the slightest move, Jiang Lin could easily be in danger!
Ultimately, with Yun Yun and Hai Bodong's nervous tension, Jiang Lin stepped through the air toward the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, who was glaring down at him with fiery rage and wariness. As he got closer, the powerful stench of the lion king's aura attacked Jiang Lin like a blast of fire, but he remained unperturbed, looking down at the giant lion with a calm gaze.
Despite being nearly two meters tall, Jiang Lin's massive body contained terrifying power but was often overlooked by others.
With the strength of a mid-stage Fourth-Grade, Jiang Lin wasn't the kind of weakling that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could injure so easily.
Moreover, knowing the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King well, Jiang Lin understood that this Sixth-Grade magical beast, who still had cubs to protect in the cave, wouldn't rashly put itself at risk.
