First Meeting with Yun Yun [Please Bookmark, Please Recommend]

"Is this really a Seventh-grade Transformation Pill?!"

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King swallowed hard. It had dreamed of obtaining a Shape Shifting Pill, a treasure that could completely free it from its beast form, granting it the long lifespan of a Magical Beast and the cultivation talent of humans. It was something every Magical Beast yearned for.

This human was actually willing to produce such a treasure. What a waste of heavenly gifts!

At the same time, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's resolve began to waver. Setting the facts aside, the Dou Ancestor Expert before it would make a decent protector. He might even prove useful when it broke through in cultivation later.

After pondering for a moment, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King raised its head and said, "Fine. This King agrees. From now on, you will be my Master. I only ask that you give me one more Shape Shifting Pill."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said without hesitation, "No problem."

Seeing the other party agree so readily, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King decided to do something that went against a Magical Beast's principles. For the sake of becoming stronger, what did this little humiliation amount to?

As a Silver White glow entered the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's spiritual sea, a fan-shaped totem faintly flickered on its forehead. From that moment on, it had completely become a human's mount.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the system mission. Capture a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast within the allotted time. Reward: Heavenly Tier Beginner Dou Technique, Green Lotus Sword Shadow!]

[Next mission time: three days later.]

Jiang Cheng slowly closed his eyes, feeling the violent energy within his body. The system had also successfully taught him this Heavenly Rank Dou Technique. This was precisely what he valued about it: he did not need to cultivate it himself and could learn it directly, saving plenty of time.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King said respectfully, "Master, I have a cub at home. May I bring it along as well?"

Jiang Cheng recalled the plot of Battle Through the Heavens. It had indeed clearly stated that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had a Third-Tier Cub, along with the rare Companion Amethyst Source.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was an Exotic Beast blessed with exceptional talent. Whenever it gave birth, there was a tiny chance that a Companion Amethyst Source would be produced alongside the cub.

Because the Companion Amethyst Source remained in the Lion King's belly for an extremely long time, the pure energy contained within it was extraordinarily abundant. Once the cub grew into a Fourth-Tier Magical Beast, it only needed to devour it to directly become a Fifth-Tier Magical Beast.

It could be considered one of the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures among Magical Beasts.

"Let's go."

Jiang Cheng had yet to obtain the Companion Amethyst Source, so he might as well take it and keep it as a collection.

Led by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, the two arrived at its residence. The place was incomparably desolate, with Magical Beast corpses scattered everywhere. Clearly, this Purple Crystal Winged Lion King enjoyed feeding on high-tier Magical Beasts to improve its strength.

When the surrounding Third-order Magical Beasts saw a human, they charged forward one after another, only to be frightened pale by the Lion King's furious roar.

"Get lost!"

Under the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's surging aura, this group of Magical Beasts that had only just developed intelligence fell to the ground and continuously bowed in worship.

At this moment, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, which had just reached the third tier, sensed its father's aura and anxiously ran over.

Yet when it saw the human, it too let out low growls, unable to understand why its father had brought a human into their home.

After the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King gave a simple explanation, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's temper eased somewhat, though it still watched him warily.

"Master, this is my son. Please forgive his offense."

Jiang Cheng merely nodded slightly and strode toward the cave. The Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King wanted to question its father, but was stopped by him. It only needed to obey.

Upon entering the cave, the first thing Jiang Cheng saw was the Companion Amethyst Source that every Alchemist dreamed of. Looking at the sphere emitting a faint golden glow, he revealed a smile.

Jiang Cheng's finger Slightly Moved, and the special stone encasing the Companion Amethyst Source shattered at once. Although Yao Chen had once said that brute force could not open the so-called Companion Amethyst Source, that did not mean a Dou Saint could not.

As drops of pure energy flowed from the cracks, Jiang Cheng unceremoniously took out jade bottles and filled them. Once the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King broke through to a Fourth-Tier Magical Beast in the future, he could simply give it a bottle.

Outside the cave, the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King suddenly widened its eyes. It had clearly sensed that its companion energy source had been smashed, and it was filled with indignation. Yet under its father's pressure, it could only lie on the ground submissively, letting out roar after roar.

After collecting the Companion Amethyst Source, Jiang Cheng also casually took away a piece of Amethyst Spirit Crystal that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King could only shed once every twenty years. In any case, they would not need it in the future. They might as well follow him into the deep mountains to cultivate.

Suddenly, Jiang Cheng's expression changed slightly. He sensed another Dou Emperor aura flying in this direction. From the ripples spreading through the air, he could determine that the newcomer was a human Dou Emperor.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King lifted its head high, its fierce gaze fixed on the woman speeding toward them. It immediately frowned, flew into mid-air, and shouted sternly:

"Human woman, you dare disturb This King's rest? You have quite the nerve!"

The newcomer was a voluptuous woman. She wore a form-fitting brocade robe of gold trimmed with purple, while her long black hair was pinned into the shape of a phoenix's cry, faintly revealing an unhidden nobility. Her features were tranquil and beautiful.

Behind her was a pair of azure wings. The wings were somewhat illusory, yet they gave off an irresistible sense of pressure.

The woman hovered in mid-air, holding a sword in one hand. In an even voice, she said, "I bear no ill intent today. I merely wish to borrow the Lion King's Amethyst Spirit Crystal."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King snorted coldly. "This Purple Crystal Winged Lion King can only shed a small piece once every twenty years. Do you think you can simply demand it and have it?!"

Yun Yun's delicate brows furrowed slightly. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King before her was far stronger than she had imagined. Especially that unusual aura around it—it felt as if a powerful expert stood behind it.

Ever since the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King became Jiang Cheng's mount, its aura had changed accordingly. The once dull Amethyst Crystal had become exceptionally radiant, as though it had evolved.

Just as the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was about to attack her, its Master's voice sounded from behind it.

"Stop."

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King Turned Sideways, its eyes filled with respect, and withdrew the claw it had just raised.

Yun Yun shifted her gaze to the White-Clothed Youth below, surprise appearing on her face. "Sir, why are you here?"

One had to know that this was the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's territory. Even as a Dou Emperor, she did not dare set foot here lightly. If not for the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, Yun Yun would not have risked making an enemy of a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast.

"My name is Jiang Cheng. This Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is my mount. Please do not take offense, miss."

"Your mount?"

Yun Yun paused inwardly and curiously examined the refined and courteous Jiang Cheng. He gave her such an elegant impression, like a close friend. Even the somewhat chilly tone in her voice earlier softened by several degrees.
