Purple Crystal Lion Wing King

Beneath Chu Yang's feet, the roars of magical beasts began to rise, likely warning him that he had entered the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King's territory. Chu Yang guessed that these magical beasts were all subordinates of the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King.

They had not reached the strength of a human Dou Wang or above and could not fly into the sky to stop Chu Yang, so they could only roar from the grass, trees, and rocks below.

Chu Yang ignored them completely. His target was the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King. Even if some of these magical beasts could defeat him outright, they were helpless against him while he was in the air.

Some magical beasts could not tell that Chu Yang's Azure Cloud Wings were merely a flying tool and thought he was an expert above the Dou Wang level. They only dared to join the others in putting on a show, while inwardly fearing Chu Yang.

Chu Yang was about to fly directly toward the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King's cave on the mountain peak. With such a commotion outside, the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King would soon be alerted and come out.

When it first saw Chu Yang hovering in the air on his Azure Cloud Wings, the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King also mistook him for an expert above the Dou Wang level. It even thought that Chu Yang might not be weaker than Yun Yun.

Of course, it recognized at a glance that Chu Yang was not the human woman who had fought it before.

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King did not dare to be careless. It was about to spread its pair of fleshy wings and soar into the sky to face Chu Yang, but then it vaguely sensed that something was off—

The man flying in the sky did not seem as powerful as the woman who had fought it before!

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King's senses were extremely sharp.

By the time the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King rose into the air, Chu Yang had hurriedly opened his mouth. He was afraid that the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King would attack him without distinguishing friend from foe. He did not possess Yun Yun's strength and could not withstand it!

Chu Yang was truly afraid he would be finished the moment they exchanged blows.

Moreover, when magical beasts and humans were at the same level, magical beasts possessed greater combat strength! Yun Yun's defeat at the hands of the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King was proof enough.

"Wait—Lion King—I have a Transformation Pill!"

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King had intended to strike Chu Yang the instant it approached. Magical beasts naturally hated humans, and Yun Yun had already left it burning with anger these past few days.

Now another powerful human man had come to disturb it. Why would it show any courtesy?

But Chu Yang immediately threw out the trump card of a "Transformation Pill," making the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King force itself to halt in midair—its allure was simply too irresistible!

Ever since it had cultivated to the point of flight, ever since it had cultivated to the point of speaking human language, the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King had constantly longed for the day it could assume human form.

It knew of Transformation Fruits, and even some Transformation Grass could directly fulfill its wish, but it had searched every corner of its territory without finding such a treasure.

Perhaps the depths of the Monster Mountain Range truly contained the Transformation Fruits and Transformation Grass it needed. Yet even though it had already reached the rank of a sixth-tier magical beast, there were still places in the Monster Mountain Range it could not enter.

Stronger magical beast kings lived there. The moment it ventured in, it might lose its life.

Compared to that, exchanging for a Transformation Pill from a human alchemist was safer.

A few days ago, Yun Yun had come seeking a trade. Since she could not produce a Transformation Pill yet wanted its Purple Spirit Crystal, the two of them had fought.

Although the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King had seemingly been stunned by Chu Yang's words, its eyes soon shifted.

At the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King's level, magical beasts had already developed intelligence. They knew humans were more cunning than their kind, and that human words could not be trusted casually.

But... the temptation of the Transformation Pill was simply too great.

It desperately wanted to take human form and sneak into human cities. Not to eat people—merely going there to have some fun held enormous appeal for it.

"Human," the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King spoke to Chu Yang in human language. "You are not lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Chu Yang said. "I am a human alchemist!"

Chu Yang placed particular emphasis on the words "alchemist."

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King was indeed not ignorant. As expected of a beast king, it understood the importance of human alchemists. Was it not currently placing its hopes on human alchemists? Since it could not find Transformation Fruits or Transformation Grass, it hoped to trade with humans for the high-grade medicinal pill known as the Transformation Pill!

It could already fly and speak human language. All it lacked was a human appearance.

"Fine!" the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King said. "What do you want in exchange for this Transformation Pill?"

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King seemed to understand the human principle that there was no such thing as a free lunch. No one would simply give it such a precious Transformation Pill for nothing.

"No need," Chu Yang said something it could never have imagined in its dreams. "I only want to sincerely be friends with you!"

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King froze, utterly dumbfounded.

Cunning humans... Whether this instinctive understanding had been born with it or inherited from the experience of magical beasts from previous generations, the shared awareness among magical beasts was that they had always been irreconcilable enemies with humanity.

Nowadays, most magical beasts had been driven and confined within the Monster Mountain Range by humans. None of them knew when magical beasts would once again launch a powerful offensive against humanity.

The Purple Crystal Lion Wing King had once heard a legend from its elders. Long ago, an immensely powerful beast king had appeared in the Monster Mountain Range. It had led countless magical beasts and destroyed many empires near the Monster Mountain Range.

Seeing the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King's expression, Chu Yang, who had lived two lives due to transmigration, immediately understood its mentality.

In truth, if one wanted a magical beast to trust them completely, they could use a Soul Contract Scroll to subdue it and establish an equal Soul Contract with it.

Chu Yang had never considered subduing a magical beast, nor did he currently possess any Soul Contract Scrolls. As for establishing an equal Soul Contract with the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King, to be honest, he had no intention of having it follow him for the long term.

In the end, Chu Yang merely wanted to make a good deal with the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King for now. He could sincerely be friends with it, but he did not wish to keep it by his side forever or bind his soul to it in any way.

With the miraculous Medicine Emperor System, Chu Yang would certainly stand at the pinnacle of the Dou Qi Continent in the future. Although the Purple Crystal Lion Wing King was doing better than ordinary magical beasts for now, it might eventually be unable to keep pace with Chu Yang even if it flew.

In the years to come, Chu Yang was confident that this Purple Crystal Lion Wing King, which currently seemed so mighty in this region, might not even qualify to become his little brother.

"Human, you do not have any sinister schemes, do you?" Magical beasts spoke very directly.

Chu Yang smiled. "No. I love making friends, especially powerful friends like you! I can help you find a way to obtain a Transformation Pill. In the future, if anyone bullies me, you only need to help me beat them up!"
