Beneath Yun Yun's profound gaze, reflections of confusion flickered. A human actually living with Demonic Beasts? Who would believe that?
But when she heard the other party refer to the Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount, Yun Yun couldn't help but gasp.
A majestic Sixth-Tier Magical Beast willingly becoming a human's mount? This was truly inconceivable.
Moreover, since the other party could subdue a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, their strength was beyond doubt. They must have already Broken Through the Dou Huang barrier and Advanced to Dou Zong, right?!
Yun Yun pursed her alluring lips, landed steadily on the ground, retracted the wings behind her, and cupped her hands in a salute: "I am Yun Yun, Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect. Greetings, Mr. Jiang Cheng."
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and said: "Sect Leader Yun, there's no need to be so polite. It was being reckless just now, please forgive it."
As a Confucian Sage, he naturally had no airs, instead being amiable and approachable, giving people a sense of family.
As the two conversed, at the peak of a mountain not far away, a young man dressed in simple clothes smacked his lips and couldn't help but ask:
"Teacher, who is that person? He actually intimidated the Amethyst Winged Lion King and that Dou Huang expert in one go..."
The soul body beside the young man also stroked his small beard and murmured: "There is no aura of a strong individual on this person."
"What?" The young man's eyes widened in astonishment: "Could he be an ordinary person?"
"What are you thinking, you brat? If he were an ordinary person, do you think he could have come here alive?"
Hearing Yao Chen say that, Xiao Yan couldn't help but nod. Indeed, if he were an ordinary person, he would have probably become dinner for Demonic Beasts long ago, let alone reaching the depths of the Eastern Mountain Range.
However, his heart also grew curious. Could he also be a Dou Huang expert... or even a Dou Zong?!
Xiao Yan instinctively swallowed, his heart filled with dread. If he truly was a Dou Zong, that would be truly unbelievable.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the distant mountains, smiled faintly, then shifted his gaze to Yun Yun, Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect.
"I heard Sect Leader Yun desires a purple spirit crystal?"
Yun Yun pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes, sir. Due to a certain reason, I need a purple spirit crystal to refine Medicinal Pills. I hope you can intercede and ask the Lion King to give me the purple spirit crystal."
Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment: "I can give you the purple spirit crystal, but Sect Leader Yun, what do you plan to exchange for it?"
"Exchange..."
Yun Yun thought for a moment and said: "I am willing to offer a Profound Rank Advanced Dou Technique Cultivation Technique suitable for the Lion King's Cultivation. If you are not satisfied, I can also add some Medicinal Pills."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted. It cared more about this human woman than those things.
Demonic Beasts could also improve their cultivation by devouring high-level humans, but its master had no intention of letting it harm the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, so it could only curb its appetite.
Jiang Cheng stroked his chin and pointed at Yun Yun's chest.
Yun Yun's pretty face flushed slightly, and she unconsciously took half a step back, looking warily at Mr. Jiang Cheng in front of her, covering her chest with one hand.
"Mr. Jiang Cheng, I am not that kind of person..."
"Ah?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something and laughed:
"Sect Leader Yun, you've misunderstood. I meant the pendant on your chest, could you bestow it upon me?"
Hearing this, Yun Yun instinctively stroked the pendant on her chest. This was something her biological father left her before his death.
Even after so many years, the pendant on her chest still held significant meaning for her.
Yun Yun bit her lower lip lightly and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang Cheng, this is the only memento left by my biological father, and it holds extraordinary significance to me. I cannot give it to you."
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Jiang Cheng shrugged. He liked to collect treasures from all over the world, and the pendant Yun Yun wore was also a rare treasure, crafted from high-quality spirit crystal, clear and translucent, emitting a faint glow at night under the refraction of moonlight.
It was very beautiful.
It also made for a very good lamp.
Yun Yun took a deep breath, "Since that's the case, then I've troubled Mr. Jiang Cheng enough."
She hadn't come with the absolute determination to obtain it, and since Mr. Jiang Cheng was unwilling to exchange, she had no reason to forcefully take it.
Jiang Cheng patted the Amethyst Winged Lion King's head and turned to leave.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King let out a low growl: "Human woman, this is my territory, not a place where you can come and go as you please!"
Yun Yun, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped, turned sideways, and looked at the threatening Amethyst Winged Lion King. She instinctively summoned her weapon, preparing for a life-and-death battle with it.
Jiang Cheng, however, spoke to stop it, "Don't be rude. A guest has come, how can you be so ill-mannered?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King lowered its head deeply. Although 'Confucian Sage' was just a name, its meaning implied being gentle and refined, humble and sincere, knowledgeable and talented, an ancient sage and virtuous person, deeply benevolent and generous, and far-sighted.
The character 'Ru' (Confucianism) in the name means gentle and refined, humble and sincere, knowledgeable and talented; the character'Sheng' (Saint) in the name means ancient sage and virtuous person, deeply benevolent and generous, and far-sighted.
If he only knew how to plunder and rob, he couldn't be called a Confucian Sage.
"Sect Leader Yun, I live in a dense forest in the northeastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come, but it will require bartering."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yun nodded in acknowledgment, cautiously watching the Amethyst Winged Lion King. After confirming there was no threat, she summoned her wings, and the moment her crisp high heels touched the ground, she turned and left.
Jiang Cheng smiled without speaking, then sat on the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Since it had become his mount, he had to try out how it felt.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King slowly flapped the wings behind it, and its massive body rose into the air. Its powerful aura instantly made the surrounding Advanced Demonic Beasts bow down and kneel in homage.
Clearly, the fear the Amethyst Winged Lion King instilled in them was too strong; even when it left, they still had to bow and kneel.
The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King naturally followed its father, but also began to curiously observe this strange human, not understanding why its father was so subservient... Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to hide, staring warily at Jiang Cheng's position. This level of expert, even his teacher probably couldn't contend with him.
As the Amethyst Winged Lion King gradually disappeared into the distance, Xiao Yan emerged from behind the rock, panting heavily, and exclaimed in shock: "Too terrifying! The Sixth-Tier Magical Beast Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount, and a single word made that Dou Huang expert leave this place. Just that deterrent force alone is enough to annihilate a Great Dou Master, isn't it?"
"Indeed, that aura is terrifying, but there was no Killing Intent. It seems the other party isn't the kind of decisive and ruthless person."
Yao Chen also began to scrutinize Jiang Cheng. One should try to befriend such a powerful individual, otherwise, they might become a threat in the future.
