Seeing the Silver Dragon King Again

The Silver Dragon King, who had been sleeping, heard Di Tian's call and slowly opened her eyes. Those majestic silver vertical pupils made Ning Bei's heart tremble every time he saw them.

"Human, you have come. Have you reached the Soul Emperor stage?"

Ning Bei nodded. "That's right, Senior. Among my elixirs this time is one called the Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill. It can greatly restore a Soul Beast's injuries."

When the Silver Dragon King heard Ning Bei's words, joy appeared in her eyes.

"Is that so? It seems bringing you here back then truly was the right decision. Give me the elixir."

Ning Bei immediately summoned the Pill Pagoda. His sixth pitch-black Soul Ring flashed, and a dark golden elixir appeared in his hand.

Under Ning Bei's and Di Tian's expectant gazes, the Silver Dragon King inhaled toward the elixir, and the Bone Forming Pill entered the dragon's mouth like a silver needle sinking into the sea.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

The cavern at the bottom of the lake became exceptionally quiet. Di Tian, who was usually overflowing with domineering presence, did not even dare breathe loudly now. His pair of golden eyes stared fixedly at the Silver Dragon King, wanting to know whether the elixir was effective.

It was unclear whether it was an illusion, but a wave of energy seemed to come from the Silver Dragon King's enormous body.

After a long while, those silver eyes opened again, filled with delight.

"It works. It is much stronger than last time!"

Di Tian, standing to the side, also fell into wild joy.

"Truly? My lord."

"Yes, indeed. In roughly several hundred thousand years, as long as there are enough of these pills, I will be able to recover completely."

After Di Tian let out a joyous shout, he looked at Ning Bei again.

"Kid, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and make more of that Primal Chaos Bone Forming Pill."

Ning Bei was speechless at that. Do you think this is wholesale Napa Cabbage?

"Senior, my current strength is low. Making five elixirs like this per day is already my limit. If you count the Soul Power stored in my Spirit Bone, seven a day is the absolute maximum."

After hearing this, Di Tian looked at Ning Bei with disdain.

"How are you so weak at such a young age? Such tiny elixirs, and only seven a day?"

You're the weak one. Your whole family is weak!

Ning Bei ranted wildly in his heart, but his mouth had ideas of its own.

"Of course I can't compare with Senior. My ability is limited, after all!"

Before Di Tian could say anything else, the Silver Dragon King spoke and interrupted him.

"Enough, Di Tian. Do not make things difficult for this child. Right now, he only has six rings, yet he can already help me so greatly. Once his cultivation rises further, the effect will only be better. I can afford to wait this bit of time."

The Silver Dragon King's words almost moved Ning Bei to tears. He thought that Big Mother Dragon really was reasonable. Otherwise, judging by Di Tian's attitude, he would definitely keep him here making elixirs until the sky went dark and the earth dimmed.

After hearing the Silver Dragon King's words, Di Tian nodded respectfully.

"Yes! My lord, I understand."

"Mm. Go. Bring him to see me again when he reaches Soul Saint."

After instructing Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King's vertical pupils looked at Ning Bei again.

"Child, if you have any requests, you may bring them up with Di Tian. If he can do it, he will not delay."

"Senior, I understand."

After bidding farewell to the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian picked Ning Bei up again and appeared above the lake.

This time, it was much livelier than last time. Scarlet King, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Bear Lord, and Ten Thousand Demon King were all present, not a single one missing, appearing before him.

Clearly, after hearing Bi Ji's introduction, the first two were also very interested in Ning Bei, this human. After all, even Bi Ji had no solution for the injuries of the one at the bottom of the lake.

The purple-haired mature beauty looked at Ning Bei as he sized them up, and she was the first to speak.

"This is the child you mentioned? There doesn't seem to be anything special about him."

The fiery-red short-haired man at the side nodded, agreeing with the woman's opinion.

"That's right. No matter how I look at this kid, he doesn't seem like someone who can help my lord."

Ning Bei rolled his eyes at that. What use is looking? You've looked from above the lake for hundreds of thousands of years, and weren't you still helpless?

Seeing that the two of them had doubts, Di Tian looked at them with an unfriendly expression.

"This was personally acknowledged by my lord. Are you questioning whether my lord made a mistake?"

Zi Ji's and Scarlet King's expressions changed, and they hurriedly denied it.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"That's right. We would not dare question my lord's decision."

Ning Bei paid no attention to the two of them. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Ten Thousand Demon King at the side.

Arriving before him, Ning Bei greeted him respectfully.

"Senior, may I ask whether you have ever eaten any medicinal herbs?"

When Ten Thousand Demon King heard Ning Bei's words, his expression darkened.

"Kid, how do you know about this?"

"Uh, Senior, please don't misunderstand. When I was raising Yao Yao—that junior of yours, Senior—I discovered that there was quite a gap between his bloodline and those of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Man Faced Demon Spider."

"It wouldn't be hard for him to reach the hundred-thousand-year level, but if he wanted to enter a higher level like you, Senior, it would be almost impossible."

"And my father happened to have consumed an Immortal Herb, which caused his martial soul to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. So I guessed that you, Senior, must also have consumed some rare treasure of heaven and earth, allowing your bloodline to evolve and surpass that of an ordinary Demon Eye Magic Tree."

After listening to Ning Bei's explanation, the Ten Thousand Demon King's expression eased somewhat. He looked at Ning Bei and praised him:

"Kid, you do have some knowledge. Not bad. I did indeed consume a Blue-Purple Herb when I was young, but I don't know its name or medicinal effects."

Ning Bei felt slightly disappointed when he heard that. You didn't even know what properties it had and still dared to eat it? That's recklessly bold.

"Then, Senior, could you describe the herb's appearance? If I'm lucky enough to encounter it in the future, I could also help Yao Yao take another step forward."

As he spoke, Ning Bei released all four beasts, including A Bao.

The Alchemy Fragrance drifting from the Pill Pagoda also drew Zi Ji and the Scarlet King's attention.

"Hm? This little pagoda is rather strange!"

"That's right. It seems to have a miraculous effect on the Little Brats of our clan."

The Ten Thousand Demon King looked at Yao Yao's noticeably sturdier body and nodded in great satisfaction.

"Well now, when I handed him to you last time, he only had fifteen hundred years of cultivation. In less than three years, he's already broken through to the ten-thousand-year level?"

Zi Ji and the Scarlet King, who still didn't know the Pill Pagoda's effect, instantly widened their eyes.

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

Bear Lord, meanwhile, walked up to A Bao with a simple, hearty grin and patted its bear paw.

"Not bad, not bad. Another fierce general has appeared in my Dark Gold Clan. Hahaha, kid, you're quite good. This Little Brat only had four thousand years of cultivation last time, and now it's already close to fifteen thousand years. Looks like you raised it with care."

Bi Ji beside him, however, looked thoroughly displeased. Of the four beasts Ning Bei had released, only the Emerald Swan was still at the thousand-year level.

"Kid, are you looking down on my Emerald Swan clan? Why does my Little Princess have the lowest cultivation right now?"

Hearing Bi Ji's complaint, Ning Bei scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Well, Senior, my martial soul also has healing effects, so..."

"I don't care. Since she's been entrusted to you, you have to treat every beast equally."

Ning Bei nodded his head frantically.

"I know, I know. Now that my Pill Pagoda already has its sixth floor, it can bring Soul Beasts thirty-two years of cultivation every day. Once I go back, I'll arrange it for Chang'e."

"Chang'e? Is that the name you arranged for the Little Princess? Not bad. Then it's settled. I'll be checking next time."

"Yes, yes, yes."

After hearing Bear Lord and Bi Ji's words, Zi Ji and the Scarlet King had no more doubts. After all, Bear Lord was a one-track-minded existence; he would never lie.
