After seeing what Yao Chen could do, Xiao Yi Xian immediately became deeply interested and hopeful.
She murmured to herself, "If I could become Mr. Yao's disciple..."
"Perhaps my strength would improve greatly."
"Then I wouldn't be all alone like I am now, constantly living with danger."
Xiao Yi Xian envied Xiao Yan.
He had a Dou Zong expert for a teacher, who was also a Rank 7 Alchemist.
Xiao Yi Xian was extremely envious.
Yao Chen was one of the top Alchemists on the Dou Qi Continent.
And as a teacher,
there were few people across the entire Dou Qi Continent who could be more responsible than Yao Chen.
He was on a completely different level from that Yu Xiaogang next door.
One only knew how to talk theory, while the other was genuinely willing to give his students valuable things.
After taking over Yao Chen's body, he had also obtained Yao Chen's System Panel.
His top priority was naturally to become stronger.
But if he relied on his own efforts to cultivate, one step at a time,
then at the Dou Sheng level, it would be extremely difficult to keep improving.
However, he could earn system rewards and improve through system missions.
That made things much easier.
Helping his disciple Xiao Yan improve his strength
could also earn him system rewards.
If he took on other students as disciples, too,
could he earn twice the rewards for being a renowned teacher?
Yao Chen was thinking about all this.
Xiao Yi Xian suppressed her astonishment.
"Now that we've successfully taken the treasures from the cave..."
"We should leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"It's a dangerous place, after all. We can't stay for long."
"I heard there's a Sixth-order Magical Beast in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King."
"It's said to be as powerful as a Dou Huang expert."
Xiao Yi Xian was extremely nervous.
Although Yao Chen was there, a Dou Zong expert,
there was no need to worry, even if they ran into the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
But a Magical Beast of this level was always troublesome and difficult to deal with.
Besides, he would have to spare a hand to protect her and Xiao Yan.
As soon as Xiao Yi Xian made her suggestion, Xiao Yan nodded and chimed in.
"Teacher, we've been out for a while, too. It's time to head back to Green Mountain Town and get some rest."
After the two of them had spoken, Yao Chen nodded.
He was just about to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range with them
when they disturbed the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had been sleeping.
"Humans again! Last time, a woman came here and stole the Purple Spirit Crystal."
"It hasn't even been long, and now more humans have come to our Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"If I don't wipe out every one of you humans here today..."
"More of you will come here in the future!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared furiously.
The Dou Qi radiating from its body shook the surrounding mountains.
"So this is the strength of a Dou Huang expert? This beast is incredibly powerful."
"No wonder it's a Sixth-order Magical Beast," Xiao Yi Xian said in amazement.
Xiao Yan was equally astonished.
He had never imagined that a Magical Beast could possess power on par with a Dou Huang expert.
If someone could tame this Magical Beast, that would be incredible.
Just then, Yao Chen looked at the System Panel.
A line of text appeared on it.
"Subdue the Sixth-order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and make it your mount."
"Earn the high regard and praise of student Xiao Yan."
"Complete the mission to receive 1,500 points and one red treasure chest."
"Accept this mission? The host must choose."
Seeing the message displayed on the System Panel, Yao Chen smiled.
He accepted without hesitation.
"System, I accept the mission." Yao Chen made his choice at once.
Not only could he earn 1,500 points by completing the mission,
he would also receive a red treasure chest.
Most importantly, the Sixth-order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King—
having it as his mount would be quite nice.
Yao Chen stepped forward and walked through the air.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was instantly shocked.
Though it was a Magical Beast, at its level,
it could already speak and had gained intelligence.
It was in no way inferior to humans, whether in strength or wisdom.
Seeing that Yao Chen could walk through the air,
without relying on Qi Wings, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was utterly astonished.
"A human expert at the Dou Zong level?"
"I never expected you to be a Dou Zong expert, sir."
"I've lived in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so many years..."
"Yet I've never seen a Dou Zong expert appear in these mountains."
"Good, good! I'll gladly test your strength."
"Let's see just how powerful a Dou Zong expert among you humans really is."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King threw its head back and laughed.
Then it launched the first attack.
But in less than one exchange, Yao Chen sent it flying.
For the first time, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt utterly suppressed.
Its expression was filled with terror.
It feared that Yao Chen would kill it in an instant and take its Sixth-tier Magic Core.
It was consumed by fear.
"Human—no, no, sir! If you spare my life..."
"I'm willing to submit to you."
Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed in amazement.
"I never thought the Amethyst Winged Lion King could be so thoroughly suppressed."
"Dou Zong experts really are terrifyingly powerful."
"Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King is this afraid of him."
Before long, Yao Chen had completely subdued the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
A moment later, the Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke.
"My lord, I submit to you. If you need anything from me in the future, just call."
Yao Chen was very pleased with its words.
After the Amethyst Winged Lion King submitted to Yao Chen,
as they left the Magical Beast Mountain Range and walked down the mountain,
Xiao Yan wore an expression of amazement and admiration.
"I never thought the Sixth-order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, whose strength was comparable to a Dou Huang expert..."
"Would be so easily subdued by you, Teacher."
"As expected of you."
An hour later,
Yao Chen, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yi Xian
arrived at Green Mountain Town, the small town at the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Once they arrived, Yao Chen turned his attention to the System Panel.
He had just completed the mission by subduing the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Now it was time to claim his reward.
He looked at the System Panel.
"Host completed mission: subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King."
"Received 1,500 points and one red treasure chest."
After claiming the points, Yao Chen looked at the inventory on the System Panel.
He had just obtained a red treasure chest, so he immediately chose to draw a reward.
He opened the red treasure chest.
"Obtained the poison-type High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique, Nine Poison Saint Hand."
"Added to the System inventory."
