Soon, consumed by the vast number of red snakes, the deep purple light column was finally swallowed by them. Meanwhile, the still-astonishing number of red snakes attacked the Amethyst Winged Lion King, biting him!
"Roar!"
Perhaps unprepared for his Amethyst Seal to be blocked, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, unable to react, was overwhelmed by the red snakes. The bites and the accompanying burning effects caused him unbearable pain.
"No more fighting!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King's deep roar echoed through the mountains.
"Haha, good!" Liu Yu chuckled, and the red snakes covering the Amethyst Winged Lion King instantly dissipated.
Flying to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's side, Liu Yu observed the "wounded" flying lion, its teeth bared in pain, and fought to suppress his laughter. It was too funny!
But there was no other way; the burning effects of his fighting spirit couldn't be dispelled so quickly.
I had wanted to give the Great Flying Lion a fifth-grade Recovery Pill, but seeing that his injuries were mostly minor, and none serious, Liu Yu decided it was better to forget it. It seemed a bit of a waste...
"Lion King, have you considered my last suggestion?" Liu Yu asked.
"Hmph!"
The Amethyst-Winged Lion King let out a muffled groan, its huge beastly eyes fixed on Liu Yu, as if to say, "You've injured me so badly, and you won't give me some pills?
" Liu Yu was speechless. How could he not know that the Great Flying Lion was so shameless! A jade bottle appeared in Liu Yu's hand and he tossed it to the Great Flying Lion. "This is the fifth-grade Recovery Pill, specially used to heal serious injuries!"
The Amethyst-Winged Lion King stretched out his huge palm and took the jade bottle, not intending to consume it. After all, his injuries were not serious. Then he lowered his proud head, his huge mouth moved slightly, and he said with a submissive look: "Master!" "
Haha!" Liu Yu laughed. He was now a man with a mount!
At this moment, Yun Yun also flew to Liu Yu's side. She was also somewhat surprised by the stunning Amethyst Winged Lion King before her.
Before coming to the Monster Mountain Range, Liu Yu had told her that he wanted to capture the Amethyst Winged Lion King there as a mount. At the time, she had thought he was joking. Although Liu Yu possessed strength comparable to that of a peak Dou Huang, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, as the overlord of the Monster Mountain Range, was undoubtedly proud and would never willingly accept a human's mount, even if that person was stronger!
But unexpectedly, it actually worked! And it seemed that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was quite willing. Looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King fondly playing with the jade bottle in his hand, Yun Yun was silent. This was not like the king of the Monster Mountain Range!
"Do you have anything else to do next? Why don't you come back to Yunlan Sect with me?" Yun Yun asked, seeing that Liu Yu had achieved his purpose in coming to the Monster Mountain Range, the anticipation in her beautiful eyes was undisguised.
"Well... I still have some things to take care of in the Monster Mountain Range, and I have to go home later..." Liu Yu said apologetically. It was true that he had something to do, and he really couldn't go to the Yunlan Sect...
"When you're done, remember to come find me!" Yun Yun pursed her lips and stared at Liu Yu dimly. As the leader of a sect, she still had matters to deal with within the sect, and she couldn't stay out for too long. Nearly a month was already the limit!
"Yeah!" Liu Yu responded, but no one could tell what he was thinking...
After giving Liu Yu a deep look, Yun Yun transformed into a stream of green light and left the Monster Mountain Range.
Soul Palace... Liu Yu muttered, looking in the direction where Yun Yun disappeared.
Without further ado, Liu Yu looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked, "Besides you, what other sixth-tier monsters are there in this Monster Mountain Range?"
While the Amethyst Winged Lion King was the overlord of the Monster Mountain Range, strictly speaking, he was only the overlord of the eastern portion. As the largest mountain range within the Jiama Empire, the Monster Mountain Range was vast, even connecting to the territories of several surrounding empires!
Liu Yu's goal was to occupy the Monster Mountain Range within Jiama and use it as a relocation base for the Serpent People! This would inevitably involve contact with the other sixth-tier monsters within the range!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King had known him for some time, and only surrendered to him because of his "supply" of elixirs and his impressive strength. Liu Yu didn't have the time to waste with the other sixth-tier monsters. If they didn't surrender, they would die!
"I think I know of three!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King replied. The sixth-tier monsters in the Monster Mountain Range generally had their own territories and didn't invade each other.
"Take me to them!" As he spoke, Liu Yu stood on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't hesitate or ask further questions. Now that he had become Liu Yu's mount, he simply had to do his job. As for worrying? Those six-rank monsters were within a radius of eight taels. Even three of them combined wouldn't be able to defeat his master. This was his instinct as a monster! With its purple wings flapping, it flew off into the distance...
to the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.
"Hey, we've finished this job today, and we can go have some fun again!" a mercenary said to his companion with a smile.
"Yeah, that woman last time was really..." His companion's face lit up with enjoyment, as if reminiscing.
"Roar," "Roar"...
A terrifying roar echoed from the depths of the Monster Mountain Range, relentless! If you listened closely, you could sense the fear and pain woven into the roar!
The mercenaries on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, frightened by the roar, immediately stopped their work and fled in droves. A tide of beasts! Life is more important than money!
Somewhere deep within the Monster Mountain Range, a massive python, with wings on its back and roughly ten feet long, lay curled on the ground, its breath weak. Its body was icy blue, covered in shimmering scales. Though a python, it resembled a dragon. Sharp claws sprouted from its front and back, and two small bulges dotted its massive head. If it could advance to a seventh-level monster, it might even become a dragon.
"Ice Crystal Jade Python King, I give you one last chance! Surrender or die!"
A terrifying aura raged above the sky, seemingly distorting even the very air.
Liu Yu stood impassively in mid-air, holding a blood-red longsword. A ten-foot-wide aura of cyan flames hovered behind him.
Led by the Great Flying Lion, they located the sixth-level monsters in the Monster Mountain Range and unleashed their full force! Anyone who refused to surrender would be slain with a single strike. If one strike failed, another would follow!
The two sixth-level monsters ahead were practically no match for his three powerful strikes! The Ice Crystal Jade Python King in front of him was the same, but Liu Yu had a heart for talent. After all, it looked good, had the blood of the dragon clan, and had the potential to become a dragon dragon. If he trained it and took it out, it would be quite prestigious! So he gave it two chances!
"Roar!"
The Ice Crystal Jade Python King roared weakly, its huge ice-blue eyes full of indomitable spirit! With the blood of the dragon clan, it would never surrender to a human. This was its pride as an emperor! At the same time, it felt disdain for the Amethyst Winged Lion King behind Liu Yu. As a sixth-level magical beast, it had actually become a human's mount!
If the Amethyst Winged Lion King knew what it was thinking, it would definitely sneer. Could it be that magical beasts could not choose a wise master to serve?
"You have already found a way to die!" Liu Yu snorted coldly. Damn it, you are shameless!
He swung the blood sword in his hand three times fiercely, and three blood-colored sword beams covering the sky violently slashed at the body of the Ice Crystal Jade Python King.
"Boom boom boom!"
The immense force shook the mountains, and the place where the Ice Crystal Jade Python King had stood had already transformed into a slump! The pit was a bloody mess, and blood gurgled!
"Xiao Zi, you handle this next step!" Liu Yu said calmly. The name Xiao Zi was naturally chosen by Liu Yu; it was concise and fitting, and it suited the image of the great flying lion. How wonderful!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King behind him, upon hearing his master's command, immediately stepped forward to harvest the spoils, just as he had done the previous two times. Although the spoils had to be handed over to his master, it was still nice to feast his eyes on them. Just like before, he had collected two Transfiguration Grasses from the lairs of the two sixth-level monsters!
As an alchemist, would his master have the opportunity to refine Transfiguration Pills for her in the future? As for taking the Transfiguration Grass directly, he didn't consider it. It was risky. Even if successful, he wouldn't be able to transform back into his true form before breaking through to the seventh level! After all, a monster's greatest asset is its true form!
Taking the Transformation Pill grants one the ability to transform like a seventh-tier magical beast, allowing them to shift between human and beast forms at will, while possessing the cultivation talents of a human and the long lifespan of a magical beast! It's a true leap to heaven!
After collecting the Ice Crystal Jade Python King's magic core, the Amethyst Winged Lion King headed for its lair with great anticipation.
...
In an open space, Liu Yu had already begun barbecuing. After all, he had ingredients for a sixth-tier magical beast; he had to try them!
While grilling, Liu Yu mentally assessed his current strength. At full power, he should be comparable to a Dou Zong. Of course, this was with the aid of the Twelve Divine Wheels and the Thousand Machine Fan. But whether he could defeat a Dou Zong, Liu Yu wasn't sure. A lower-tier Dou Zong might be a match for him...
Just as Liu Yu was pondering this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King returned, placed the items he had collected in his arms beside Liu Yu, and leaned aside.
Liu Yu took a quick look. He saw a sixth-rank magic core, mostly medicinal herbs and exotic gemstones. But he noticed something interesting: some of these herbs were needed to refine the Transfiguration Pill. Combined with the herbs he'd found in the lairs of the two sixth-rank monsters, he could create a seventh-rank Transfiguration Pill!
Glancing at Xiao Zi, Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh, "What luck!"
He placed the meat, specially roasted for Xiao Zi, in front of him and began to savor it himself. He had to admit, the flavor of this sixth-rank monster meat was incredible. With every bite, he felt a warm current coursing through his body, nourishing it. The Amethyst
Winged Lion King beside him was also feasting on the food. He'd never tasted sixth-rank monster meat before; it was incredibly delicious!
After enjoying the barbecue, Liu Yu turned his gaze to the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked, "Xiao Zi, do you want the Transformation Pill?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was stunned for a moment, a human-like, flattering smile appearing on its beastly face. Its soft voice, belying its massive size, said, "Master, yes!"
"Ahem!" Liu Yu choked a little, then calmed his flustered thoughts and said, "You should know that this Transformation Pill is a high-level seventh-grade elixir. With only one ingredient, I'm not 100% sure I can successfully refine it in one go!"
Hearing his master's words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he spoke with certainty, "Master is wise and powerful, and has extraordinary talent. I believe you can definitely refine this Transformation Pill!"
Xiao Zi, be careful! CPU mastering is a big no-no! Liu Yu looked at Xiao Zi's expression. Although he was praising him, he felt the urge to slap him!
Ignoring Xiao Zi, Liu Yu went to an open area, retrieved the purple cauldron from his ring, and prepared to refine the pill!
Liu Yu was very confident in himself, but the first seventh-grade elixir he refined was a seventh-grade high-level transformation elixir, so he still felt a little "stressed".
The main problem for him was that the elixir-lightning attack caused by the seventh-grade high-level elixir was basically equivalent to the attack of an ordinary seven-star Dou Zong powerhouse! He didn't know if he could protect the elixir. If not, then it would be Xiao Zi's bad luck!
The steps of refining the elixir were the same as before, but this time Liu Yu was fully committed. After all, the seventh-grade elixir required a lot of medicinal materials, basically several times that of the sixth-grade elixir. The more medicinal materials needed, the more difficult it was to refine. In fact, the difficulty increased exponentially towards the end!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King beside him also consciously acted as a guard to prevent any ignorant monsters from disturbing his master's elixir refining.
During Liu Yu's elixir refining process, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed!
"Hum!" A crisp sound echoed out, and the purple cauldron suddenly trembled, elixirs gushing out. Liu Yu's narrowed eyes opened as he watched this scene unfold, his heart finally relaxed. Success!
This Transformation Pill was the most difficult elixir he had ever cultivated. Not only was it time-consuming, but the refining process required even the slightest distraction!
Following the humming sound, an exceptionally rich elixir energy erupted from the purple cauldron. Faintly, the source of this energy could be seen: a perfectly round elixir encased in a turquoise flame.
The gushing energy grew increasingly powerful, shocking the distant Amethyst Winged Lion King. Then, the elixir energy surged towards the sky. Attracted by this rich energy, dark clouds quickly gathered above, and soon, deep, muffled thunder suddenly echoed across the sky.
The thunderclouds rolled, then suddenly shrank. A bolt half a meter wide, like a descending thunder python, ripped through the clouds. Space seemed as fragile as paper to it, easily ripping through it. With a terrifying crackling sound, it plummeted towards the ground!
Liu Yu's gaze focused, and a divine wheel instantly materialized behind him. Dou Qi surged within him, and the surrounding fire energy instantly converged above him.
Within a few breaths, a cyan-blue sun appeared in the sky, emitting a destructive aura! The scorching heat instantly melted the trees below into nothingness!
The Amethyst-Winged Lion King quickly flapped his purple wings and fled. It wasn't because he was afraid of death, but the terrifying heat was too much for even a fire-attributed demonic beast to withstand!
"Burning Sky Palm!"
Instantly, a massive palm, fifty or sixty feet in size, swirling with cyan flames and swirling with destructive energy, emerged from the sun. The palm tore through space and instantly appeared before the thunderbolt.
"Boom!"
The giant palm collided with the thunder. After a moment's silence, a devastating explosion erupted from the sky. A blinding light transformed the world into a vast expanse of white!
Liu Yu closed his eyes, and with a single thought, a blood-red longsword materialized in his hand. In an instant, he swung out seven or eight blood-red sword beams with astonishing speed!
Although the Burning Heaven Palm, infused with the strange fire, was mighty and powerful, it was still no match for the elixir thunder!
As Liu Yu had predicted, the Burning Heaven Palm only consumed most of the elixir thunder's energy, allowing a trace of lightning to "escape." Unfortunately, it was met with a barrage of sword beams!
As the last trace of lightning faded, a blinding ray of light suddenly erupted from the purple cauldron, soaring into the sky and fleeing into the distance.
Liu Yu, prepared, had no chance of letting it escape. His immense soul power enveloped the Transformation Pill, pulling it back.
The next moment, the Transformation Pill hovered obediently in front of Liu Yu.
