Small Valley

"Invite me to leave the mountains?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King's voice boomed through the sky like muffled thunder.

If not for the aura on this young man before it that made it deeply wary, it would have been unable to resist attacking long ago!

"Arrogant!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted as it looked at Jia He.

Jia He smiled. "Don't be so quick to refuse. If I invite you to leave the mountains, I'll give you some benefits. Name any conditions you want. As long as I can manage them, I'll make them happen!"

After sizing Jia He up, the Amethyst Winged Lion King asked, "Any condition?"

"As long as I can manage it. Could you not listen to only half of what I said?" Jia He rolled his eyes helplessly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King said, "Two seventh-tier Transformation Pills, and at least three beast flames above the fifth tier. What do you say to those two conditions?"

"Sure, of course. But I can't fulfill either of those conditions for the time being. Could you give me some time?" Jia He said in a negotiating tone.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes had initially lit up, but when it heard Jia He say he could not fulfill either condition right now, its vision immediately went dark!

It roared, "If you can't do it, why are you talking? Get lost!"

A violent aura exploded from the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

At that moment, the aura of a five-star Dou Huang abruptly spread from Jia He's body. The terrifying pressure sent the magical beasts throughout the entire mountain range scattering in panic.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King before Jia He took several steps back with its enormous body and stared at him warily.

"Don't be in such a hurry to bark. With your strength, you probably can't beat me," Jia He said calmly.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King narrowed its eyes at Jia He. "Don't go too far!"

Jia He said, "I'm trying to reason things out with you. I can agree to two seventh-tier Transformation Pills and three fifth-tier beast flames. Since I've agreed to it, I'll naturally make it happen!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King looked at Jia He. "How do I know whether you can do it? Besides, as far as I know, seventh-tier alchemists are extraordinary figures even in the human world, aren't they? Even if you're a five-star Dou Huang, a seventh-tier alchemist probably wouldn't think much of you, right?"

Jia He said, "That's true enough, but I don't need anyone else to think highly of me, because I'm an alchemist myself!"

Then Jia He took out his sixth-tier alchemist robe from his storage ring and put it on.

"See this? This is a sixth-tier alchemist robe, proof that I'm a sixth-tier alchemist. With my talent, reaching the seventh tier is just around the corner!"

"When that time comes, I can naturally refine Transformation Pills for you. As for beast flames, I'll have people search for them once we return. How does that sound?" Jia He asked the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Staring at Jia He's sixth-tier alchemist robe, the Amethyst Winged Lion King growled, "I don't know any damned sixth-tier alchemist robes!"

"Damn it!" Jia He's face darkened.

Little Fairy Doctor, who had been standing behind Jia He, had been shocked by his sixth-tier alchemist robe. But upon hearing the Amethyst Winged Lion King's words, she burst out laughing.

"Sister Ya Fei, he's actually a sixth-tier alchemist?" Little Fairy Doctor whispered to Ya Fei.

Ya Fei smiled bitterly. "He's just a little freak. This is all normal for him!"

Jia He looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King as flames surged from his palm. The heat radiating from those flames made even the Amethyst Winged Lion King feel frightened.

"How can this flame be so powerful?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared at the fire in Jia He's hand.

"This is a flame formed from my Dou Qi. Is that enough to prove I'm an alchemist? If not, then let's have a fight instead!" Jia He said helplessly.

"Don't!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its huge head. "No need. I believe you!"

Jia He's face immediately lit up. "So you agree?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King said, "If I don't agree, you'll probably beat me up anyway. It's better that I agree!"

Having lived this long, the Amethyst Winged Lion King possessed at least that much intelligence. Jia He was clearly much stronger than it, and it also felt that this young man's figure looked somewhat familiar!

Jia He looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "Then it's settled. You have half a month to prepare, and afterward, we'll head to the Imperial Capital together!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded. "All right!"

Jia He had originally thought there would be a great battle, but this sixth-tier magical beast was quite clever. He soon left the mountaintop with Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor.

Watching Jia He's retreating figure, the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly shuddered. Why does his figure resemble the person within that terrifying phantom I saw that night? Could they be the same person?

On the night Jia He fought Wu Ya, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had also flown high into the sky to watch. However, Wu Ya had eventually been forced to self-destruct, and after a burst of brilliant light, the figure had vanished!

The Amethyst Winged Lion King muttered, "They're probably the same person. Otherwise, why would so many Dou Huang powerhouses suddenly appear in the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Good thing I didn't provoke that guy. He's terrifying!"

On the way down the mountain, Jia He said leisurely, "Ah, that Amethyst Winged Lion King was pretty easy to persuade!"

Ya Fei covered her mouth and chuckled. "Was that persuasion? It looked more like it was afraid you'd attack!"

"Persuading with force is still persuasion!" Jia He shrugged with a smile.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Little Fairy Doctor's lips.

After a while, as though recalling something, Little Fairy Doctor said to Jia He, "We'll be leaving this place in around ten days. I want to go somewhere and see an old friend!"

Jia He nodded. "Sure. Do you mind if we come along?"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled. "It's fine. It's not some hidden paradise anyway. Let's go together!"

Energy wings spread from Jia He's back as he wrapped his arms around Little Fairy Doctor and Ya Fei's slender waists, then shot into the sky.

Feeling the wind whistling past her ears, Little Fairy Doctor leaned close to Jia He's ear with a faint blush on her pretty face. "I'll show you the way!"

Before long, Jia He brought Little Fairy Doctor and Ya Fei deep into a basin within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where there was a small valley.

Little Fairy Doctor said, "This is my secret base. Dense mist covers it from above, while thick forests and cliffs surround it, naturally blocking the attacks of magical beasts. Most importantly, the natural energy here is extremely rich, making it suitable for growing medicinal herbs!"

Jia He descended from the sky with the two women. The moment they landed after entering the small valley, they heard an eagle's cry.

A flying figure shot out of the valley like lightning.

Little Fairy Doctor happily waved at the flying eagle. "Xiao Lan!"

The blue eagle landed beside Little Fairy Doctor and affectionately rubbed its head against her shoulder.

Little Fairy Doctor led Jia He and Ya Fei deeper into the valley, introducing the place as they walked. "When I used to gather herbs in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I often rested here. There's a grass hut over there that I built before. We'll stay here for the next few days!"
