Important Intelligence

With a flash, Xiao Yu carefully slipped through the blind spots of several magical beasts' vision and easily entered the Lion King's territory.

The moment he entered the mountain, Xiao Yu clearly sensed that this place was extraordinary.

Compared to other places, the temperature here was several degrees hotter.

Xiao Yu sensed it slightly. The fire-element energy in the air was unusually active. No wonder the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had chosen this place as his lair.

"The fire-element energy here is so dense. It seems this place was built above Earth Fire."

Based on what he knew, Xiao Yu analyzed the situation carefully.

So-called Earth Fire was formed where fire-element energy deep underground became exceptionally active, gradually giving rise to subterranean flames. After prolonged burning by Earth Fire, certain natural treasures might also be born. They were highly beneficial to fire-attributed magical beasts and cultivators.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough time. His priority this time was to obtain the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and complete the system mission. That would earn him an Earth Tier spear fighting skill, which was what Xiao Yu needed most right now.

Following the mountain path, Xiao Yu soon discovered the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair. The scorching aura emanating from within was even denser.

Knowing that the Lion King's cub was inside, Xiao Yu did not rashly charge into the cave. After investigating carefully and confirming there were no signs of magical beasts moving about, he took out some sleeping powder. He had found it among the items in the ring Medicine Elder had left behind.

It would not have much effect on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, but it was quite useful against Earth Tier magical beasts.

He blew it into the cave from the entrance, waited for a while, then stepped into the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair.

Inside the cave, Xiao Yu cautiously examined the routes around him.

The cave was deep, but it was not as dark as he had imagined.

Purple crystals were embedded in the surrounding rock walls. These were natural products of the mountain range, often appearing in the dens of powerful magical beasts. Their prolonged influence caused certain mutations.

In the human world, these mutated crystals were excellent decorative items. Since they were difficult to obtain, they were also rather expensive.

As Xiao Yu looked around the glittering cave, he could not help but marvel. The Lion King's living environment was actually quite beautiful, as though purple crystals adorned every corner. It really knew how to enjoy life.

He proceeded carefully, yet did not encounter any more magical beasts. Aside from his own footsteps, there was no other sound.

Before long, two branching paths appeared before Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu recalled the descriptions of this place. The Companion Amethyst Source was stored on the left, but he had no way to open it.

Once the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King advanced to the fourth tier, swallowing the Companion Amethyst Source would allow it to directly advance to the fifth tier. It was an excellent treasure for those who cultivated fire attributes.

However, it was contained within a massive purple sphere. Other than the Amethyst Spirit Crystal, every other attack would be absorbed by the sphere itself, making it impossible to break. Therefore, if he wanted the Companion Amethyst Source, he first had to obtain the Amethyst Spirit Crystal.

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, his heart hardening. A treasure like this was something one could only encounter by chance. He had to take it.

He carefully headed down the path on the right, holding his breath and focusing his mind. Soon, he reached the end of the passage.

Xiao Yu cautiously poked his head out from around the corner to inspect the area.

Ahead lay a vast space, where a Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was curled up. This should be the Lion King's child.

Xiao Yu frowned. After all, the original work described the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King as a third-tier magical beast, equivalent to a Da Dou Shi-level expert. Even with Yun Zhi's enhancement, he was only at the Dou Shi level right now.

If he could not win through force, he could only rely on wit.

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, you really did have a way."

Recalling Xiao Yan's method here, Xiao Yu smiled calmly.

He retreated into the passage and took out a pile of items from his ring.

"Appetite-Loss Flower and Purple Smoke Fruit—these are all things fire-attributed magical beasts love."

He then took out some potent laxatives he had concocted and injected them into the two fruits. He finished quickly.

Looking at the fruits filled with laxatives in his hands, Xiao Yu chuckled. "Luckily, magical beasts like you are clean. Otherwise, even laxatives wouldn't be much use."

He returned to the end of the passage and carefully tossed the fruits in his hand before the Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

The Little Lion King's nose twitched gently, as though it had smelled something delicious in its sleep.

It quickly opened its bleary eyes and stared at the fruits before it, falling into deep thought.

It seemed to be wondering why delicious food had appeared before it the moment it woke up. After hesitating for a while, it ultimately could not resist the temptation and swallowed them in one bite.

It soon felt the effects of Xiao Yu's laxative and hurriedly ran out of the cave.

Xiao Yu emerged from behind the boulder.

"Magical beasts may possess some intelligence, but they're still rather naive!"

Xiao Yu inspected the spot where the Little Lion King had been sleeping. He quickly noticed something unusual in a patch of amethyst crystal. When he tapped it lightly, a faint hollow echo came from beneath.

Xiao Yu's face lit up. He gripped the amethyst crystal with his right hand and opened it.

At once, dazzling purple light burst forth, forcing Xiao Yu to turn his head away.

Once his eyes adjusted to the light, Xiao Yu looked inside. A fist-sized, irregularly shaped purple crystal with sharp edges lay within. Light flowed across its surface, making it breathtakingly beautiful.

With the Amethyst Spirit Crystal in hand, Xiao Yu did not dare waste any more time. He swiftly ran toward the place where the Companion Amethyst Source was stored.

He understood the principle of avoiding unnecessary complications.

When he reached the fork in the road again, Xiao Yu carefully headed left this time.

He soon reached the end. After poking his head out and finding no danger, Xiao Yu stepped outside.

A massive amethyst platform in the center drew Xiao Yu's attention. Looking at the purple liquid flowing within it, Xiao Yu licked his lips.

"This should be the Companion Amethyst Source, right?"

Thinking of its powerful effects, Xiao Yu no longer hesitated. With a flip of his palm, the Amethyst Spirit Crystal appeared in his hand.

Gripping the Amethyst Spirit Crystal tightly, Xiao Yu fiercely swung it at the sphere.

Crack!

The purple sphere shattered in response, and the purple liquid inside flowed out through the cracks.

Xiao Yu took out several small purple bottles and carefully caught the flowing Companion Amethyst Source. This was good stuff; it would be a shame to let it fall on the ground and go to waste.

Xiao Yu soon finished collecting the Companion Amethyst Source. There were six full bottles.

He glanced at the Amethyst Source remaining in the pits and grooves of the stone platform. He did not lick it up like Xiao Yan had, but leaving it behind felt wasteful.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yu took out a smaller jade bottle from his ring. Using a small brush, he brushed the remaining Amethyst Source out and dripped it into the jade bottle.

Only after collecting all the Amethyst Source from the pits and grooves did Xiao Yu clap his hands in satisfaction and sigh. "I'm really frugal!"

Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion King: I really have to thank you.

After collecting the Amethyst Source, Xiao Yu raced toward the cave entrance, only to be blocked halfway by the Little Lion King.

"Damn it, how did I forget about it?!"

"It's connected to the Companion Amethyst Source. I shattered that sphere, so it definitely sensed it. I actually forgot such important intelligence."

Facing a third-tier magical beast, Xiao Yu also raised his vigilance to the utmost.
