The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King lying on the ground was blasted away by the sudden attack. Much of the amethyst on its body shattered, and its flesh was torn open.

The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, caught off guard by the ambush, glared furiously at Xiao Tian with its beastly pupils. Purple light radiated from both its eyes and its body.

Its sharp claws raked hard across the ground, instantly leaving several cracks behind. The Little Amethyst Winged Lion King lunged forward, swinging its claws at Xiao Tian, while Xiao Tian circulated Ground Shrinking to an Inch and flashed aside.

Seeing Xiao Tian dodge, the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King turned back, opened its bloody maw at him, and shot a scorching stream of Purple Fire straight toward him.

"Thunder Lion!"

Xiao Tian threw out a Thunder Lion at the incoming Purple Fire. Dou Qi formed into a lion and collided with the Purple Fire before finally dispersing. The Mountain Cave trembled, and amethyst crystals kept falling. Fortunately, the Mountain Cave was sturdy enough. Even so, it made Xiao Tian afraid to use any powerful Dou Techniques, lest the Mountain Cave collapse and bury them all here.

Man and beast clashed at close range again and again. As Xiao Tian fought, he led the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King away from the center.

Off to the side, Xiao Yan saw Xiao Tian and the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King fighting farther and farther away. He hurried over to the spot where the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King had been lying. Feeling the crystal grow hotter and hotter, Xiao Yan lifted a stone slab and saw the Amethyst Spirit Crystal hidden inside.

Xiao Yan quickly put away the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and rushed toward the outside of the Mountain Cave.

"Eight Extremities Collapse!"

Arriving at the battlefield, Xiao Yan looked at the two sides locked in combat, quietly crept closer, and struck the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Tian saw Xiao Yan's Eight Extremities Collapse land on the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, and the Dark Energy erupted as well, interrupting its attack. Xiao Tian brought his Halberd down against its head, and it immediately passed out.

Looking at the unconscious Little Amethyst Winged Lion King on the ground, Xiao Yan prepared to step forward and kill it, but Xiao Tian stopped him. "We can't kill it. If we kill it, the Amethyst Winged Lion King will sense it. If it goes mad and rushes back, we'll be in danger. Do you have any medicine that can knock it out?"

"I do." Xiao Yan took out a Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring, walked to the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's side, and poured it into its mouth. Black liquid flowed from the Jade Bottle into the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King's mouth. "This is my Soul-Calming Liquid. It won't wake up for at least six hours."

"Good. Then let's go. I'll take you to find something nice." Xiao Tian beckoned to Xiao Yan.

They returned to the fork and headed into the Mountain Cave on the left.

"Tian Ge, this is what you wanted." Xiao Yan walked beside Xiao Tian and took out the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and the crystal, handing them to Xiao Tian.

"Hold on to the Amethyst Spirit Crystal for now. We'll still need it in a bit." Xiao Tian took the crystal and placed it into System Space.

The two walked for about five minutes and arrived at the end. In the center of the Mountain Cave's interior, amethyst stones over a meter high had been piled into a square platform, and atop the amethyst platform sat a purple spherical object the size of a soccer ball.

"Tian Ge, what is this?"

"This is the rarely seen Amethyst Origin."

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Yao Lao's astonished voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind. Immediately afterward, Yao Lao gave Xiao Yan a brief lesson on the Amethyst Origin.

After listening to Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up.

"Xiao Yanzi, wipe up your drool. It's about to hit the floor." Looking at Xiao Yan's money-grubbing expression, Xiao Tian teased him.

Xiao Yan hurriedly wiped the corner of his mouth, only to discover there was no drool. "Tian Ge, you tricked me again. Last time, you tricked me into going to the back mountain, and when I ran into that she-devil, I almost got chopped to death."

"Hahaha, wasn't that an accident? Here, I'll split what's here with you fifty-fifty. Fair enough, right?" Xiao Tian laughed.

"Fair enough. If there are good things like this every time, I don't mind getting tricked a few more times."

"Then use the Amethyst Spirit Crystal to crack open the sphere. That sphere can only be opened with the Amethyst Spirit Crystal."

Xiao Yan took the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and knocked it against the sphere. With a bang, the sphere immediately cracked open, and purple liquid flowed out from within, dripping onto the stone platform.

"Hurry and use Jade Bottles to store the liquid!" Yao Lao's anxious voice rang out in Xiao Yan's mind.

Seeing Xiao Yan collecting the Amethyst Origin, Xiao Tian silently recited in his heart, System Check-in.

[Ding. Check-in at the Amethyst Winged Lion King Cave successful. Obtained: Earth Rank Middle Grade Storm Art, Thunder Heart]

Storm Art: a Wind Attribute Earth Rank Middle Grade Cultivation Method, carrying the Earth Rank Middle Grade Dou Technique Wind Blade Dance.

Wind Blade Dance: formed many blades made from wind energy, which flew through the air to attack enemies. The blades could also be controlled to form a storm that wrapped around enemies and continuously cut them, making it impossible to guard against.

Thunder Heart: a heart of thunder condensed from pure thunder power, able to help the Host condense Spirit Thunder.

Xiao Tian looked at the Wind Attribute cultivation method. He himself could not use it, but it seemed someone else could.

The Thunder Heart was what he wanted most. Mainly, condensing Spirit Thunder was too slow.

While Xiao Tian was still deep in thought, Xiao Yan had already finished collecting all the Amethyst Origin. He walked over to Xiao Tian. "Tian Ge, it's all collected. Six bottles total. These four are yours, and here's the Amethyst Spirit Crystal."

"I'll take three bottles. We agreed to split it half and half." Xiao Tian took three bottles, accepted the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, and put them into System Space, then directly pushed the remaining bottle back.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan did not say any polite words and accepted it, thinking that he would repay Xiao Tian properly in the future.

(If Xiao Tian knew Xiao Yan was thinking that, he would probably say there was no need. This was just him compensating Xiao Yan a little, after all, he had taken a lot of Xiao Yan's things. Jie jie jie.)

"Then let's go. There's nothing else here." Xiao Tian looked around and said.

Hearing no response, Xiao Tian turned to look at Xiao Yan, only to see Xiao Yan staring at the Amethyst Origin spilled on the stone platform.

Just as Xiao Tian was about to snap Xiao Yan out of it, Xiao Yan suddenly threw himself onto the stone platform and licked all the Amethyst Origin on it into his mouth.

"Holy shit, you animal!" Seeing Xiao Yan's behavior, Xiao Tian cursed aloud, while Yao Lao in the Storage Ring speechlessly covered his face. How embarrassing.

"Ahem, wasting things is shameful. I firmly despise people who waste things," Xiao Yan said shamelessly.

"You're something else." Xiao Tian raised his thumb. "Time's about up. I don't know what's going on outside. To avoid getting trapped here, we'd better leave quickly."

The two broke into a sprint and rushed out of the Mountain Cave at high speed. After running out, they did not stop in the slightest and continued charging wildly into the distance.

Sensing Xiao Tian's aura, Yun Yun swung a huge cyan wind blade at the Amethyst Winged Lion King. After forcing it back, she flew toward Xiao Tian.

Arriving above Xiao Tian, she put away her Long Sword, dropped straight to his side, and hugged him, about to fly off.

"Take my brother too." Xiao Tian hugged Yun Yun tightly with one arm and pointed at Xiao Yan with the other.

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan, who had been sprinting after Xiao Tian the whole way, reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and flew away at high speed.

"Cunning humans! I, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, will not rest until this is settled with you!" Watching Yun Yun vanish without a trace, the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared in fury.

Yun Yun carried the two of them in a rapid flight the whole way. When they reached a safe place, she landed steadily on the ground, casually tossed the Xiao Yan she had been carrying onto the ground, and said to Xiao Tian, "Aren't you going to let go?"

Xiao Tian reluctantly released the hands he had around Yun Yun's waist. As he let go, he even took the chance to stroke her, making Yun Yun glare fiercely at him.
