Seeing Li Mu Yang's tiger-like, menacing eyes, the Kaiming Beast grew tense once again and hurriedly explained, "Don't let those storytellers outside deceive you. Think about it—how can you trust what scholars say? They claim that the Kaiming Beast's Crystal Soul can dispel Netherworld Cold Qi. That's complete nonsense, fabricated out of thin air..."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Li Mu Yang looked thoughtful as he gazed at the Kaiming Beast. "Quite a few immortal scrolls and secret scriptures outside mention your existence. They say that the Kaiming Beast's Crystal Soul is the purest and most numinous thing in the world..."
"They all say that about me?" All nine of the Kaiming Beast's heads lit up with delight as they asked anxiously.
"They also say you possess an innate fire attribute, making you the natural nemesis of the Netherworld Qi beneath the earth. Eating it can neutralize the Dragon-Smiting Nails."
The Kaiming Beast became furious again and shouted, "Nonsense! It's all nonsense... Think about it. Those people who compiled the books have never eaten my Crystal Soul, and some of them haven't even seen me. How could they know that my Crystal Soul can dispel the Netherworld Cold Qi? If you believe their drooling nonsense and kill and eat me, only to discover that my Crystal Soul can't dispel the Netherworld Qi in your body, you'll regret it too late... By then, there won't be anyone or any animal left who can help you cleanse your marrow and exchange your blood."
Li Mu Yang wore a contemplative expression.
The Kaiming Beast cautiously observed Li Mu Yang's expression, afraid that if the man's heart hardened, he would kill it on the spot.
For a long, long time.
"Then we'll proceed according to your method," Li Mu Yang said.
