Sixth-Order Blue Scale Python

Without any surprise, Yao Chen was promptly shut back away by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu had a clear objective and a well-defined plan.

He knew very well that the Central Plains was by no means a place he could set foot in at his current level.

Therefore, no matter how flowery Yao Chen's words were, he would not go.

With Yao Chen's voice gone, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Facing Xiao Yu's gaze, the Amethyst Winged Lion King pondered for a moment before speaking, "Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there is a deep pool. The water is icy all year round and emits a chilling aura, and the surrounding water-attribute Dou Qi is extremely dense."

"If you, Master, need to find water-attribute stones, I believe there is a high probability of finding them there."

As one of the overlords of the eastern Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King possessed intelligence no less than that of a human, and it understood the importance of rare treasures.

Thus, apart from cultivating in its cave, it would occasionally explore the mountain range.

That deep pool was something it had discovered by chance.

The water there was bone-chillingly cold; even when its purple flames descended upon it, the heat would be dispersed by the cold air before it could even touch the surface.

Dense water vapor permeated the area around the pool, and only at high noon on a sunny day would the white mist dissipate for a short while.

"There is such a place in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

After hearing the description, Xiao Yu found it somewhat incredible. "Are there any magical beasts guarding the vicinity?"

A hint of gravity appeared in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes, and its massive head nodded slightly. "A Blue Scale Python lives in the pool. Its strength is also at the sixth rank, slightly stronger than me."

"Sixth rank? No matter. Get ready; we shall depart shortly."

Xiao Yu stood up immediately.

He still had two Beast Taming Experience Cards left; as long as he didn't encounter a magical beast above the sixth rank, there would be no pressure at all.

Returning home, Xiao Yu informed his wives that he was about to head out.

"How long will you be gone?" Ya Fei asked.

Xiao Yu weighed it slightly and said, "Fastest, one day; slowest, a few days. Why?"

"I was thinking that if it's on your way, could you help Wutan City apply for an Alchemist Guild?"

After giving birth, with the aid of medicinal pills for recovery, Ya Fei was already able to walk freely.

Consequently, she had begun to immerse herself in business again.

Although the Mite'er Family had begun to acknowledge her, Ya Fei had not given up; she hoped to completely win over the family through her own performance.

However, upon reviewing the Xiao Clan's business during this period, she found that the location of Wutan City was still the limiting factor.

Because it was on the edge of the Jia Ma Empire, the foot traffic was not high. If they could apply for an Alchemist Guild to station in Wutan City, it would be ideal.

This would mean attracting alchemists as well as other commercial enterprises.

In the Jia Ma Empire, the standard for whether a city's rank was high enough was whether there was an Alchemist Guild in the city.

The Alchemist Guild often served multiple functions, such as conducting assessments and training, which could attract many people to the city.

Xiao Yu said, "I'll see how things go when the time comes. There's no rush. At worst, when I take you and the child to the Imperial Capital, we can just handle it directly with the Imperial Capital's Alchemist Guild."

Hearing this, Ya Fei nodded. That would also work; with the Mite'er Patriarch stepping in, and given it was the Imperial Capital, the application for a branch would certainly be faster.

"No need. You can take this to any city with an Alchemist Guild, and you can get it done directly."

At this moment, Yun Yun suddenly took out an object and shoved it into Xiao Yu's hand.

Xiao Yu was stunned. He looked down and discovered it was a token.

Something belonging to the Pill King Gu He?

Through Yun Yun's identity and the characters on the token, he quickly guessed who it belonged to.

"Sister Yun Zhi, you..."

Xiao Yi Xian, Li Qian, and Ya Fei all looked at Yun Yun in surprise. This was the first time Yun Yun had voluntarily offered to help Xiao Yu.

Such a situation had never occurred before.

"I am also a member of this family. Is it wrong for me to contribute?"

Being stared at, Yun Yun felt particularly strange, but considering her own affairs, she did not want Xiao Yu to return too quickly.

She said, "Ya Fei just gave birth to a child for you. Are you going to decline even this small favor?"

"Fine. When I return, I will definitely get the Alchemist Guild established."

Xiao Yu put away the token. He valued his wives' favorability highly.

And Yun Yun was right; it was rare for Ya Fei to take the initiative to make a request, and this matter wasn't difficult—it would only cost him a little effort.

Hearing Xiao Yu agree, a flash of secret delight crossed Yun Yun's eyes.

I have recently felt faint signs that I am about to break through. As long as I succeed in breaking through before Xiao Yu returns, the seal on the Amethyst Winged Lion King will collapse on its own. By then, as long as I capture Xiao Yu, even the Amethyst Winged Lion King won't be able to do anything to me.

Yun Yun thought to herself, a glimmer of anticipation slowly emerging in her eyes.

After the group finished lunch and Xiao Yu bid farewell to his father, he mounted the Amethyst Winged Lion King and flew toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

That deep pool was about half a day's journey from the original lair of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Therefore, by the time the Amethyst Winged Lion King arrived with Xiao Yu, the sky was already approaching darkness.

In the lush and dense forest, the towering trees had transformed into a vast expanse of shadows, and the roars of various magical beasts could be heard from time to time.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not descend, but instead hovered in mid-air, with Xiao Yu standing atop its head.

A hundred meters ahead and below them lay a wide area where the dense forest seemed to have been hollowed out.

At this moment, white mist was rising from that area, lingering without dissipating.

Xiao Yu strained his eyes to look into the distance, yet he still could not see the scene within clearly.

As the wind blew through the forest, carrying wisps of white mist toward Xiao Yu, he took a deep breath and felt waves of chill penetrate his lungs.

"Master, nighttime is my weak period. If we launch an attack now, I fear I am no match for it."

Faced with Xiao Yu's command, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had no choice but to explain.

The amethyst on its body possessed the ability to absorb sunlight; the stronger the sun, the more vigorous its purple flames would be, and its strength would receive a certain boost.

By the same token, after nightfall, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's strength would be weakened by ten to twenty percent compared to the daytime.

"Do not worry. As long as it is a Tier 6 magical beast, there is no danger whatsoever."

Xiao Yu said indifferently.

He stood with his hands behind his back, the mountain wind blowing and causing his clothes to cling tightly to his body.

Seeing Xiao Yu's attitude, the Amethyst Winged Lion King hesitated no longer.

It opened its mouth, and the surrounding Dou Qi was swallowed into its maw one after another.

At first, it was a faint purple light, but it instantly grew, transforming into a fireball covered in purple flames.

As the Amethyst Winged Lion King spat it out, the fireball dragged a long tail behind it, plunging straight into the white mist.

The high temperature burned a hole through the mist, allowing Xiao Yu to successfully see the scene inside.

Under the night sky, the calm deep pool was without a ripple; the water surface was like a black hole, seemingly capable of devouring everything.

The purple flame fireball struck the water surface and was completely extinguished in less than two seconds.

Everything was exactly as the Amethyst Winged Lion King had described.

The terrifying chill of the pool water had directly extinguished the temperature of its flames.

"Continue."

Seeing that there was no movement beneath the lake surface, Xiao Yu continued to issue orders.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bolts of purple flame were spat toward the water surface by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The calm lake water was struck by the force and immediately became turbulent, crashing against the shore like the sea.

The white mist in the surrounding area also gradually began to thin.

"Roar!"

As another fireball descended, the water surface suddenly surged with massive bubbles like boiling water, and immediately after, a cerulean figure charged out from within with a violent force.
