Zi Yan, the Temptation of the Myriad Beast Blood Pill
The girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old. She was dressed in white, short and small, with long purple hair. Her height only reached Xiao Yan's waist.
Her cheeks were fair and delicate with a hint of pink, and her exquisitely beautiful appearance was endearing.
On the contrary, her large, dark, and bright eyes revealed an indifference that was not typical of a child her age.
"It smells so good..." she murmured unconsciously, looking at the three Myriad Beast Blood Pill that Xiao Yan was holding between his fingers.
Those three round pills exuded an irresistible allure in her senses, arousing her most primal desires.
So much so that she had just stopped secretly taking Medicinal Herbs from the Medicinal Herbs warehouse, almost putting Medicinal Herbs in her mouth, and rushed over as fast as she could.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yan asked, feigning ignorance.
From the moment the girl appeared, he knew that the girl in front of him was definitely the little princess of the royal bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, whom he had been longing for for so long, Zi Yan!
Zi Yan wiped the glistening drool from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, revealing an adorable expression. "If I tell you, can you give me those three especially fragrant pills you have?"
Xiao Yan laughed, and couldn't help but reach out and poke Zi Yan's forehead. "Do you know that these three Myriad Beast Blood Pill of mine are all Sixth Tier pills? Just one of them would be enough for an elder to give up his entire fortune."
"Sixth Tier..." Zi Yan looked at the young girl, but she seemed to understand many things.
Tier 6 Medicinal Pill is extremely precious even in the entire Black-Corner Region. The Medicinal Herbs she usually steals would take at least a month to gather enough for one Tier 6 Medicinal Pill- Tier 6 Medicinal Pill Medicinal Herbs, not even including the cost of refining it.
Thinking about it, Zi Yan immediately made a bitter face, pouting as she said, "But your pills smell so good!"
"Please, just give me one! Please!"
Zi Yan looked pleading, blinking her big eyes, which made Xiao Yan even have a fleeting thought of 'why not give her one?'
"I can let you eat it, but you have to give me something of equal value in return." Having unexpectedly attracted Zi Yan's attention earlier than planned, Xiao Yan patiently spoke slowly.
The three Myriad Beast Blood Pill, resembling three walnuts, were held in his palm, their medicinal fragrance being stimulated once more.
Saliva dripped from her mouth again; Zi Yan's eyes were fixed on the Myriad Beast Blood Pill, unable to look away.
Refined with the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, and made entirely from the corpses of magical beasts, this was far too tempting for a developing Ancient Void Dragon that fed on magical beasts.
Xiao Yan had no doubt that if it weren't for his [Myriad Beast] Heaven-Swallowing Talent taking effect, which made Zi Yan have a good impression of him from the start, she might have directly tried to snatch him away.
"What is something of equal value?" Zi Yan asked anxiously.
Xiao Yan didn't answer directly, but instead gave a non-sequitur. "You're a magical beast in human form, right or wrong?"
Zi Yan hesitated for a moment. She felt an inexplicable fondness for the person in front of her, which made her a little wary.
"How did you know?" she countered.
Xiao Yan raised the Myriad Beast Blood Pill: "This pill is Tier 6 Medicinal Pill that I refined using the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame from the corpses of magical beasts. For humans, it is just a normal pill that can improve physical fitness."
But for magical beasts, it is an incredibly tempting and nourishing food, and they will crave it immensely.
"You..."
Xiao Yan didn't continue, and Zi Yan understood that her drooling was far too obvious.
Her initial wariness subsided considerably, and she continued, "Who are you? I've never seen you before. Are you someone's friend? Are you here as a guest?"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "No, this is my residence."
As for those who haven't seen me before, that's normal. I only arrived at the Jia Nan Academy today and became one of its elders.
"Not to mention you, in the entire Jia Nan Academy, only Vice Dean Hu Gan and Great Elder Su Qian have formally met with me so far."
Zi Yan's eyes lit up upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, her focus turning strangely. "You know Old Man Su?! Could you give me the pills and then ask him for something of equal value in exchange? He'll give them to you!"
Considering the extent of Su Qian's affection for Zi Yan in the original novel, Xiao Yan felt that Zi Yan's words were not entirely impossible. There was a high chance that Su Qian would actually scold him a few times, and then helplessly offer him Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches as compensation.
However, what he wanted was not Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches, but to build a bond with Zi Yan, preferably developing a deep sibling relationship. Therefore, this kind of straightforward transaction was not his goal.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Yan said to Zi Yan, "Your empty promise won't make me give you this precious pill right away."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan put on a mournful expression, pouted, and muttered unhappily, "If you didn't look so pleasing to the eye, I would have just snatched you away."
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and said, "Judging from your appearance, your cultivation level is not high, and your aura is only comparable to Dou Wang. How can you be so arrogant?"
When the topic of strength came up, Zi Yan was full of skepticism. "Do you believe I can't beat you?"
Xiao Yan remained silent, only silently releasing his Dou Zong aura.
In an instant, all the defiance on Zi Yan's face vanished, and her body stiffened. "She's at the same level as Old Man Su!"
Zi Yan realized that even with her Heaven-Swallowing Talent, she couldn't escape Su Qian's grasp, and immediately understood that she was no match for Xiao Yan either.
Seeing Zi Yan's discomfiture, Xiao Yan finally revealed his true purpose.
"I sensed from the very beginning that you came from another dimension."
To possess the ability to create space during your growth period, your bloodline must be exceptional.
To be honest, the cultivation Cultivation Technique I practice requires the Heart Blood Essence of magical beasts.
Xiao Yan brandished the Myriad Beast Blood Pill, his voice seductive. "If you really want the Myriad Beast Blood Pill, you can exchange it for your Heart Blood Essence."
Zi Yan clutched her deflated chest and immediately moved away from Xiao Yan, her face full of vigilance. "Impossible!"
The Heart Blood Essence is one of the most precious things; giving it away will leave the beast weak for a long time.
She wanted to eat the pills because she needed to replenish her energy and wanted to grow up quickly.
If she were to give away her Heart Blood Essence, she would be weak for a long time, not only consuming a lot of her accumulated energy, but also being unable to find Medicinal Herbs for a considerable period of time, which would be a huge loss.
Seeing Zi Yan's resistance, Xiao Yan didn't press the matter and simply waved his hand, saying, "If you don't want to, then forget it. You can leave now; I need to refine medicine."
Zi Yan lowered her head and walked out of the courtyard, grumbling, "Fine, I'll go then."
Xiao Yan didn't even turn his head as he poured the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame into the Myriad Beast Cauldron.
If the Myriad Beast Blood Pill couldn't move Zi Yan, he didn't believe that a higher-level Myriad Beast Pill couldn't move her!
