Symbiotic Amethyst Source—Please Bookmark and Recommend

Beast Mountain Range.

Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

After delivering all the invitations, Niu Meng had returned and reported everything that had happened to the Pavilion Master.

Li Xiao could not help but sigh after hearing this. As expected of a Dou Zong expert—their swagger was on another level. If he became a Dou Zong expert someday, perhaps he would be even more arrogant.

All that remained was to adapt to whatever came and wait for the Auction seven days later.

At this moment, Li Xiao could hardly wait to see the reward the system had given him. On the Dou Qi Continent, the strong were revered and the weak were humiliated—this was an unchangeable truth. Only by becoming stronger could one earn respect!

Right now, he was merely a lowly Dou Zhe, not even having touched the threshold of a Dou Shi. Beyond that were Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, and Dou Huang. Every realm buried countless geniuses.

The purity of one's bloodline determined one's future fate. The reason the great families of the Central Continent produced so many geniuses was primarily because they possessed their ancestors' Great Emperor bloodline.

Any expert who broke through to the Dou Di Realm would alter their descendants' bloodline inheritance, making their future generations even stronger.

However, over the past thousand years, Dou Di Bloodlines had gradually faded, eventually becoming something ordinary people could scarcely hope to match. In the end, countless experts accumulated over generations had all been cut off at the Dou Sheng realm.

It was like the most popular saying of the day: Yao Lao was in the Endless Fire Territory, but Yu Xiaogang was nowhere to be seen in the Divine Realm.

Character was still very important.

Li Xiao shrugged and said softly, "Go prepare the Auction items. From today onward, no one is allowed to leave the Beast Mountain Range, including the Amethyst Winged Lion King."

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Just then, Linglong entered carrying a tray. Several porcelain bottles and a purple crystal rested upon it.

"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, the Symbiotic Amethyst Source and Amethyst Spirit Crystal have both been obtained. They are now submitted for your disposal."

With that, Linglong presented them with both hands, her expression blank.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was an extraordinarily gifted magical beast. Otherwise, it could not have become a Sixth Rank Magical Beast. Whenever such magical beasts gave birth, there was a tiny chance that this Symbiotic Amethyst Source would be produced alongside their cubs.

Because the Symbiotic Amethyst Source remained within the Lion King's body for an extremely long time, it contained exceptionally pure and immense energy. Once a cub reached the Fourth Rank Magical Beast level, it only needed to devour this Symbiotic Amethyst Source to directly become a Tier 5 Magical Beast. Furthermore, the Purple Flame in its body would be far more tyrannical than that of Purple Crystal Winged Lions that had never consumed a Symbiotic Amethyst Source.

It was also immensely beneficial to experts who cultivated fire-attribute techniques.

Back then, Yao Lao had raided the dens of eight Amethyst Winged Lion Kings without finding a Symbiotic Amethyst Source. One could imagine just how precious these few jade bottles were.

The benefits provided by the Amethyst Spirit Crystal were not especially great. The main reason Yun Yun had gone to the eastern Beast Mountain Range in search of one was for her disciple, Nalan Yanran. Yet she had unexpectedly been struck by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's sealing technique, or she would not have ended up in such a state.

Li Xiao picked up a bottle of Symbiotic Amethyst Source and inspected it closely. The moment he removed the stopper, a wave of scorching air swept out. With merely one breath, he felt as though he could not get enough of it.

As expected of a supreme treasure of this age, the Symbiotic Amethyst Source! Li Xiao smacked his lips. He did not cultivate a fire-attribute technique, so naturally, he could not use it. Otherwise, the violent power produced by the Symbiotic Amethyst Source would be enough to destroy his meridians.

By then, even if a Dou Di expert were present, they likely would not be able to save him.

After putting everything away, Li Xiao reminded them, "In seven days, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion Auction will officially begin. From today onward, no one is permitted to slack off. Guard against thieves. Without my command, no one may enter Ascending Heaven Pavilion in advance. Those who disobey will be killed!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two Dou Zong experts simultaneously clasped their hands and bowed in salute.

They did not dare defy the Pavilion Master's orders. After arranging the upcoming Auction items, the two men and four magical beasts sat outside Ascending Heaven Pavilion, waiting for the appointed day several days later.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King curled up miserably in a corner. The Symbiotic Amethyst Source had been reserved for its cub, yet that bastard had taken it away.

What rotten luck.

However, Li Xiao had also promised it that if its cub truly advanced to the Fourth Rank Magical Beast level, he would personally reward it with a Transformation Pill, allowing it to cultivate normally just like a human.

Naturally, the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not refuse. Instead, it was as happy as a child. If it could truly obtain a Transformation Pill, that would be far better than the Symbiotic Amethyst Source.

A Tier 7 Pill was not something one could eat whenever one wished. Moreover, the ingredients needed to refine one were exceedingly precious.

Although the pill's grade was not particularly high, to magical beasts, it was even more precious than a Ninth Grade Pill. Magical beasts were born with long lifespans, but their cultivation talent was not as good as that of humans.

After using a Transformation Pill to take human form, with their long lifespans and humanity's cultivation talent, even a pig could become one of the continent's strongest after cultivating for several thousand years.

This was why magical beasts' obsession with the Transformation Pill had far surpassed even the heavenly treasure that was the Symbiotic Amethyst Source.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Of the Jia Ma Empire's ten greatest experts, aside from Yun Shan, who remained in seclusion, and Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who had disappeared for decades, nearly all had arrived.

They were all experts who had received the notice. They had come merely to take a look and see just how profound Ascending Heaven Pavilion's foundations were, for it had actually sent a Dou Zong expert to deliver invitations. What a waste of talent.

Yun Yun wore a thin veil over her face, beautiful beyond compare like a fairy maiden from the nine heavens. A faint fragrance of rose petals wafted from her body, while her flawless white thighs were exposed, leaving Gu He beside her already drooling.

Pill King Gu He had always secretly loved Yun Yun, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. Yet Yun Yun was indecisive. If not for Xiao Yan, she likely would never have sought her other half in her lifetime.

"Yun Sect Master, it has been a long time. Your strength has grown again."

Yun Yun slowly turned around. "Pill King, you flatter me. Did we not meet just a month ago?"

Gu He chuckled. "One day apart feels like three autumns. A month apart feels like several autumns."

Hearing this, Yun Yun did not speak again. Though Gu He held considerable status in the Jia Ma Empire, he still fell short compared to her, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Th-this... this is... a... Sixth Rank Magical Beast... the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

Someone cried out in shock, drawing everyone's gaze. Even Yun Yun, Jia Xingtian, and the others, all esteemed Dou Huang experts, looked over in stunned disbelief.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was lazily sprawled beneath the steps of Ascending Heaven Pavilion, taking an afternoon nap. It did not care at all that many experts from the Jia Ma Empire had gathered around it.
