"Is this really a seventh-grade form transformation pill?!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King swallowed its saliva. It had dreamed of obtaining a Transformation Pill, a supreme treasure that allowed it to completely shed its beast form, gaining the long lifespan of a Demonic Beast and the Cultivation talent of a human—a coveted item for Demonic Beasts.
This human in front of it actually dared to take out such a treasure. Isn't this wasting Heaven And Earth Treasures?!
At the same time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's heart began to waver. Putting aside the facts, the Dou Zong before it was also a good source of protection. Perhaps it could rely on him later when attempting a cultivation Breakthrough.
After pondering for a moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King raised its head and said, "Fine, this King agrees. From now on, you are my master. I only ask if you could give me one more Transformation Pill?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said without hesitation, "No problem."
Seeing the other party agree so readily, the Amethyst Winged Lion King decided to do something against the principles of Demonic Beasts. To increase its strength, what was a little humiliation?
As a silver-white light injected into the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Spiritual Sea, a fan-shaped Totem faintly flickered on its forehead, proving that it had completely become a human's mount.
[Congratulations, host, for completing the System mission: capturing a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast within the specified time. Reward: Heaven Rank Elementary Dou Technique, Azure Lotus Sword Shadow!]
[Next mission time: three days later.]
Jiang Cheng slowly closed his eyes, feeling the restless energy within his body. The System had also successfully learned this Heaven Rank Dou Skill. This was the point he valued: learning it directly without having to Cultivate himself, saving a lot of time.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King respectfully said, "Master, I still have a cub at home. May I bring it along as well?"
Jiang Cheng recalled the plot of battle through the heavens. It was clearly stated that the Amethyst Winged Lion King had a Third-Tier cub, and also possessed the accompanying purple crystal source, a miraculous item.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King is an Exotic Beast of extraordinary talent. Whenever it gives birth, there is a tiny chance that it will produce this accompanying purple crystal source along with the cub.
Because the accompanying purple crystal source stays inside the Lion King's belly for an extremely long time, the pure energy it contains is quite magnificent. Once the cub grows into a Fourth-Rank Magical Beast, merely consuming this accompanying purple crystal source can directly transform it into a Fifth-Tier Magical Beast.
It can be considered a rare Heaven And Earth Treasure among Demonic Beasts.
"Let's go."
Jiang Cheng did not yet possess the accompanying purple crystal source, so he decided to take it for safekeeping.
Guided by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, the two arrived at its dwelling. The place was extremely desolate, with Demonic Beast carcasses everywhere. Clearly, this Amethyst Winged Lion King liked to devour High-Tier Demonic Beasts to increase its strength.
The surrounding Third-Tier Demonic Beasts rushed forward upon seeing a human, but were terrified and paled upon hearing a sharp roar from the Lion King.
"Get lost!"
Under the Amethyst Winged Lion King's surging Qi, this group of Demonic Beasts, who had just developed Sentience, continuously prostrated themselves on the ground in worship.
At this moment, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, which had just reached Third-Tier, sensed its father's Qi and anxiously ran over.
However, upon seeing the human, it also let out low growls, not understanding why its father would bring a human home.
After the Amethyst Winged Lion King offered a simple explanation, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's temper eased slightly, but it still watched him warily.
"Master, this is my unworthy son. Please excuse his offense."
Jiang Cheng merely nodded slightly and strode into the cave. The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King wanted to question its father, but was stopped by the latter, who implied it should just obey.
Walking into the cave, what greeted his eyes was the accompanying purple crystal source, coveted by all Alchemists. Looking at the sphere emitting a faint golden light, he revealed a slight smile.
Jiang Cheng's finger moved slightly, and the special stone wrapping the accompanying purple crystal source shattered instantly. Although Yao Chen had once said that brute force could not open the accompanying purple crystal source, that didn't mean a Dou Sheng couldn't.
As drops of pure energy flowed out from the broken fissures, Jiang Cheng unceremoniously took out a Jade Bottle to collect them. Later, when the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King Breaks through to Fourth-Rank Magical Beast, he could just give it one bottle.
Outside the cave, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly widened its eyes. Clearly, it had sensed that its accompanying energy source had been smashed. It was filled with indignation, but under its father's coercion, it could only grovel on the ground, letting out low roars.
After collecting the accompanying purple crystal source, Jiang Cheng also casually took the purple spirit crystal that the Amethyst Winged Lion King could only shed once every twenty years. In short, they wouldn't need them in the future; they might as well go into the deep mountains to Cultivate with him.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng's expression changed subtly, because he sensed a Dou Huang aura flying in this direction. Judging by the wave propagation in the air, he could determine that the newcomer was a human Dou Huang.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King raised its head high, its fierce eyes staring at the woman flying toward them. It immediately frowned, hovering in mid-air, and loudly shouted:
"Human woman, you dare disturb this King's rest! You have immense audacity!"
The newcomer was a voluptuous woman, dressed in a tight-fitting Brocade Robe, gold embroidered with purple. Her long black hair was styled into the shape of a Phoenix's cry, faintly revealing an undeniable nobility, and her face held a serene beauty.
Behind her was a pair of cyan Wings. The Wings were slightly illusory, yet they gave off an irresistible sense of oppression.
The woman hovered in mid-air, holding a sword in one hand, and said in a calm voice, "I bear no ill will today. I only wish to borrow the Lion King's purple spirit crystal for a short use."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly, "I, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, can only shed a small piece once every twenty years! How can you just demand it?"
Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly. The Amethyst Winged Lion King before her was much stronger than she had imagined, especially the strange aura emanating from its body. She had a feeling there was a powerful expert assisting it.
Since the Amethyst Winged Lion King became Jiang Cheng's mount, its aura had changed accordingly. The previously dull Purple Crystal Stones had become exceptionally bright, as if it had evolved.
Just as the Amethyst Winged Lion King was preparing to attack her, its Master's voice came from behind it.
"Stop."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King turned sideways, its eyes showing utmost respect, and retracted the claw it had just raised.
Yun Yun shifted her gaze to the white-robed young man below, showing a hint of surprise: "Your Excellency, why are you here?"
One must know that this was the Amethyst Winged Lion King's territory. Even she, who held the esteemed rank of Dou Huang, dared not easily trespass. If it weren't for the purple spirit crystal, Yun Yun would not have risked becoming enemies with a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast.
"I am Jiang Cheng. This Amethyst Winged Lion King is my mount. Please do not take offense, Miss."
"Mount?"
Yun Yun's heart skipped a beat. She curiously observed the well-mannered Jiang Cheng. He gave her an impression of refinement, like a close friend, and her previously somewhat cold tone softened slightly.
