Cooperating with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Making Friends!

Lin was speechless.

It had not been easy for him to cultivate a wisp of soul power, yet the moment she opened her mouth, she wanted it from him.

This was going to be difficult.

If you'd waited until my cultivation was higher, I might have agreed.

But now, I'd only just cultivated it.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion rested her chin on her paws, seeming to contemplate something.

Lin took the opportunity to communicate with Lao Yao. "Lao Yao, can you kill that Three-Eyed Golden Lion?"

"What level is he roughly equivalent to?"

Lin quickly asked.

Lao Yao replied in a calm but domineering tone, "If I attack, I can kill him."

"But if I attack, I will also fall into a deep sleep for several months."

"That golden lion—no, that Rui Beast—is probably around Devil King seven to nine stars. Since he has not attacked, I cannot make an accurate judgment."

Hearing this, Lin fell silent. As he had guessed, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed to have around three hundred thousand years of cultivation, nearly equivalent to the strength of a level ninety-seven Soul Master.

In other words, even a level ninety-seven Soul Master might not necessarily be at the Devil King level.

It seemed rather troublesome.

In that case, it was only natural for the Rui Beast to want his soul power.

The higher the grade of soul power, the better. Since the power he had cultivated himself was his own, it was acceptable to give her some.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion would find it very easy to refine it, mainly because the energy level was high.

Now, Lin understood completely.

But he would not stupidly attack directly. Making Lao Yao sleep for months was not worth it.

Especially since he was a Devil King. If he fell asleep, waking him up would cost far too much.

Even if it was only a few months, it would still be unbearable.

Roar! Roar!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared once more.

Lin's gaze fell on Red King. Red King translated, "The Rui Beast says that since you are unwilling, then she will take the lives of those low-level Soul Beasts."

After saying that, Red King was about to make a move, but the thought was extinguished by a single glance from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Red King: Didn't you say you wanted to kill them?

Lin's heart skipped a beat. He had almost urged Lao Yao to attack, but Red King did not seem to truly intend to fight.

He looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then at Red King.

This fellow was threatening him.

Lin pondered for a moment, then said, "Giving you some is not impossible, but not now."

"First, tell me my conditions. If you agree, then we can cooperate."

"What conditions?"

Lin looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded her little head, agreeing.

Roar! Roar!

Red King translated, "The Rui Beast says to state your conditions."

Lin immediately stated them.

"First, I need medicinal herbs that can restore soul power. I know the Star Dou Great Forest has them, and you must not refuse."

"This is a necessary condition."

"Second, I need a golden core."

"For the first condition, if you can provide medicinal herbs that restore soul power, I can give you a portion of the energy I cultivate."

"One herb in exchange for one portion."

Lin spoke slowly. The conditions he proposed were not harsh; they could even be called very generous. For Soul Beasts, herbs were like something that could simply be given away.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion agreed without hesitation. In any case, she could not use the Rui Beast's herbs, but they would be useful now.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion called out happily, "Roar! Roar!"

Red King translated, "The Rui Beast says to wait here. We will return to get the herbs."

After saying that, Red King left the place with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

After Red King left, Lin finally let out a sigh of relief.

Lao Yao's voice emerged from the ring. "Kid, when the time comes, use the soul power in the ring to trade with them."

"With this month of conversion, plus what you cultivated, there is still some left over."

That had been Lin's plan all along. He had finally cultivated it himself; how could he simply give it away?

With ample soul power, there was no need to worry.

"Lao Yao, that was exactly what I intended."

"Is there any difference between the soul power I cultivated and this?"

Lin asked aloud.

Lao Yao said, "There is no difference. It is just that the former is yours, so it is somewhat more compatible. The soul power exchanged from others does not have that compatibility."

Hearing this, Lin was completely relieved.

This time, he was going to make a fortune.

Not long after, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Red King returned. As soon as Red King came back, he tossed out a storage pouch full of herbs.

Thud, thud!

A huge pile of herbs appeared before Lin.

"Isn't this too much? Does this kid want to drain all his soul power?"

Lin could not help complaining. He knew Soul Beasts were rich, but he had not expected them to be this rich.

Now, the soul power in his ring was completely insufficient.

"Rui Beast, I do not have that much energy."

"How about this? I will trade with you in fixed amounts. From now on, we will exchange once every three months at this place."

"What do you think?"

Lin looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and presented his idea. Next, he needed to go elsewhere to hunt Rui Beasts.

Since he had formed a partnership with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it would not be appropriate to openly hunt Rui Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought for a moment, then nodded. This human did not seem willing to take advantage of her and appeared to be a good person.

As expected of a friend approved by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion extended her paw. "Roar! Roar!"

Lin did not understand and looked at Red King.

Red King scratched his three heads, equally confused. How could this human be capable of becoming friends with the Rui Beast?

"So, Red King, what is the Rui Beast saying?"

Seeing Red King's awkward expression, Lin asked curiously.

"The Rui Beast... the Rui Beast says she wants... she wants to be friends with you."

Red King stammered out the sentence word by word.

Hearing this, Lin froze. Was this an energy extractor with a long-term supply?

Once they became familiar with each other, he could obtain soul power without using herbs.

Then again, once they became familiar, he could perhaps take advantage of her too, right?

This plan was feasible!

Before Lin could answer, Lao Yao's voice entered his mind. "Kid, agree to her. We can take advantage of her in the future."

Lao Yao, you old bastard. It was one thing for me to think about taking advantage of her, but you wanted that too.

That was perfect!

Lin extended his hand and gently placed it on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's little paw. "From now on, we are friends. My name is Lin!"

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded proudly. They had officially become friends.

Lin smiled faintly. Becoming friends with a Rui Beast did not seem bad.

Lao Yao in the ring chuckled. This kid had a bright future.

"Kid, the ten herbs beside the Rui Beast are the best herbs for restoring soul power. Take those first; the rest can be exchanged slowly later."

Lao Yao's voice sounded again, guiding Lin.

Lin was secretly delighted. The quantity would lead to qualitative change. There truly was no harm in having a few more backup plans.

Lin immediately picked up the ten herbs Lao Yao had mentioned and looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "Rui Beast, my energy currently only amounts to five portions, so I only want these ten."
