Persuasion
"Huh...you little boy, you're not afraid of us at all."
The Devouring Heaven Sparrow exclaimed in surprise, looking at the calm and composed Ye Feng with astonishment, and asked, "Tell me, what delicious food did you bring me?"
"We are all Ferocious Beast, and we each have one Mountain Treasure. It's indeed not enough to share, but Mountain Treasure aren't food. Why fight to the death? Why not sit down, cooperate, and learn the precious techniques within the sect together? Wouldn't that be better?" Ye Feng asked.
Upon hearing this, Willow God was taken aback.
She felt she shouldn't have listened to Ye Feng. She thought that if this was Ye Feng's plan, then they would definitely fail in this operation.
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! I actually listened to a little kid." The Devouring Heaven Sparrow laughed loudly.
"Little boy, you should leave with it." Vermilion Bird mocked Ye Feng in return, saying, "If other Ferocious Beast learn this treasure, how will we dominate?"
"To dominate, are you really willing to risk your lives?" Ye Feng shook his head slightly and continued, "You are all Four Great Ferocious Beasts, ancient and exotic species. I think you should have heard about the calamities that have befallen our world from your elders!"
"Catastrophe?"
The Vermilion Bird landed on the ground.
"Catastrophe?"
Even the Devouring Heaven Sparrow landed on the ground.
"Catastrophe?"
"Catastrophe?"
Qiong Qi and Zhu Yan were also staring intently at Ye Feng. The Four Great Ferocious Beasts suddenly realized that they seemed to have underestimated Ye Feng. Although Ye Feng was young, he already knew the meaning of the word "catastrophe."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The Devouring Heaven Sparrow's eyes flickered, but it forced itself to remain calm and asked, "What calamity is there?"
"Devouring Heaven Sparrow, don't play dumb with me. Your master is the Honghu. I think it must have told you about the cataclysm."
"How... how did you know my master was Honghu?"
"Devouring Heaven Sparrow, even if your master didn't tell you about the calamity of this world, I think you must have heard about it from your parents." Ye Feng didn't answer the Devouring Heaven Sparrow's question, but continued, "Every so often, the laws here shift. At that time, people from the Upper Realm will take advantage of this to descend upon our world. They have no concept of good or evil. In their eyes, we are all cultivation resources, things they can use to refine medicine or devour. They especially like Primordial Remnant and some powerful beings. Especially you, Devouring Heaven Sparrow, you devour everything, I don't think you want to be devoured in return, do you?"
"You little boy, you know quite a lot. Tell me, since you're saying all this, I think you're not just reminding us of the existence of the Cataclysm." The Devouring Heaven Sparrow showed interest in Ye Feng for the first time.
"Why are you risking your lives to fight for this Mountain Treasure... To put it bluntly, you just want to become stronger so that you can protect yourselves when the calamity comes, isn't that right?" Ye Feng asked. The Four Great Ferocious Beasts all chose to remain silent, which was considered an admission of Ye Feng's words. "Please forgive my bluntness, but even if you obtain the Mountain Treasure, you will not be able to protect yourselves in the calamity. Time is too short, and the power of the Upper Realm is beyond your imagination."
"Then... what's your plan?" Zhu Yan asked, intrigued.
"Transform into human form," Ye Feng replied.
"Transform into human form?"
"Yes. You possess the lifespan of Ferocious Beast, and if you also possess human intelligence, breaking through realms—is that still a problem?"
"Transform into human form? Your so-called method is to persuade us to transform into the form of humans who regard us as sacrificial spirits." The Devouring Heaven Sparrow laughed, it despised humans from the bottom of its heart.
"Don't forget, those beings in the Upper Realm that you're afraid of are humans," Ye Feng reminded him.
"Well!"
The Devouring Heaven Sparrow was speechless.
"I do think his method is feasible." Vermilion Bird pondered for a while and said, "Human beings' creative abilities are indeed commendable. However, after transforming into human form, will I become a human being from then on?"
"That's not it. Transforming into a human is just an added ability for you. You are still Vermilion Bird. If you wish, you can reveal your true form at any time and change between human and Vermilion Bird at will."
"That sounds like a lot of fun. Tell me, little boy, what's your plan to turn us into human form?"
"Transformation Pill," Ye Feng replied.
He has unlocked his memories of pills from his previous life. He is now capable of refining eighth-grade pills. Transformation Pill and Rank 7 Pill are within his capabilities.
"Transformation Pill... What kind of magical technique is this?"
"This is not a magical technique, but a kind of elixir. After consuming it, you will be able to transform into human form."
"Give it to me quickly!" the Devouring Heaven Sparrow exclaimed excitedly.
"That's not enough."
Are you kidding me?
The Devouring Heaven Sparrow was enraged.
"I'm not playing a trick on you. Although I have the formula for the Transformation Pill, my soul power is not strong enough. Before I refine the pill for you, you will need to use your priests to help me obtain the medicinal materials to enhance my soul power."
"You're here to reap the benefits!"
The Devouring Heaven Sparrow finally understood Ye Feng's intentions.
"Haha... I guess so. With so many priests, getting the medicinal herbs to help me enhance my soul power is just a matter of a word. Besides, you can provide the formula for the Transformation Pill yourself."
"Okay, I promise you."
Vermilion Bird was the first to speak.
"I promise you too."
Zhu Yan echoed Vermilion Bird's words.
"You..."
The Devouring Heaven Sparrow hesitated. Looking at the Zhu Yan and the Vermilion Bird, which seemed to have formed a united front, its gaze fell upon the Qiong Qi. It was inherently suspicious and didn't believe Ye Feng's words.
Can Ferocious Beast even transform into human form?
"Devouring Heaven Sparrow, why not give it a try?" Qiong Qi persuaded the Devouring Heaven Sparrow, looking at the Mountain Treasure shrouded in light, and continued, "Before I agree to your request, you have to tell me how you plan to deal with the Mountain Treasure."
"Naturally, it belongs to me..."
"What?"
"I haven't finished yet. What's the rush, you four? Mountain Treasure has four abilities that can be combined to unify various magical techniques. It also possesses the Six Paths of Reincarnation Divine Power, the Grass Character Sword Secret, and the Pure-Blooded Creature's Precious Technique. However, they are not very useful to you. I think none of you four would be satisfied if Mountain Treasure were entrusted to any of you for safekeeping. In that case, I will keep Mountain Treasure for the time being. Once you take human form, any of you can practice the magical techniques within it."
"How do you know all this so clearly?" Qiongqi asked Ye Feng Qiong Qi. Ye Feng not only knew about the catastrophe, but also what was inside the Mountain Treasure.
"Secret."
"Okay, I agree," Qiong Qi said.
"Since all three of you have agreed, do I... have any other choice?" The Devouring Heaven Sparrow reluctantly conceded.
"In that case, Willow God, retrieve the Mountain Treasure." Ye Feng instructed, waving his hand as four animal hides floated out. He said, "The animal hides contain medicinal herbs to enhance my Soul Power, as well as herbs for Transformation Pill. After you have prepared the herbs, come to Stone Village to find me."
