Beast Tomb
Beast Tomb!!!! Xiao Yan's heart jolted, his pupils contracted. The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King actually knew where the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame was!!! Even Xiao Yan, with his composure, couldn't help but breathe a little heavier. If he hadn't been mentally prepared, he probably would have blurted out the question of its location.
Little Fairy Doctor was also very surprised. This was supposed to be a life-threatening crisis, but how did it suddenly turn into an Strange Flame being delivered to their doorstep! Xiao Yan quickly calmed himself down, lightly tapping the table with his finger, and looked at the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King with a solemn expression, saying, "I believe the Lion King understands the importance and attraction of an Strange Flame to an Alchemist."
"Undeniably, any Strange Flame possesses unparalleled attraction to an Alchemist, and I am no exception."
Xiao Yan immediately changed his tone, saying indifferently, "But ah, Lion King, the Transformation Pill is a high-level Seventh-Rank pill, known as the ticket to the Eighth-Order for Magical Beasts. Its value is enough to move a Dou Zong powerhouse. Not to mention that I don't have a Transformation Pill, even if I did, I wouldn't use it to exchange for a piece of information of unknown authenticity."
The Transformation Pill is a treasure that all Magical Beasts dream of, because it allows them to have the qualification to step into the Eighth-Order! All Eighth-Order Magical Beasts can transform, because transformation is a prerequisite for entering the Eighth-Order. For a Magical Beast to enter the Eighth-Order, it not only needs to break through the shackles of its bloodline and improve its physique and cultivation, but also needs to transform.
Just like an Eighth-Rank pill.
Low and mid-level Seventh-Rank pills will trigger natural phenomena, and high-level pills will attract Pill Lightning, while Eighth-Rank pills, in addition to these, also possess sentience! Having sentience is the mark of an Eighth-Rank pill; without sentience, it can only approach the Eighth-Rank.
The same goes for Magical Beasts. If a Magical Beast cannot transform and cannot obtain the same cultivation talent as humans, then it can only ever be a Seventh-Order Magical Beast.
There are many ways for Magical Beasts to transform, but the easiest way is undoubtedly the Transformation Pill. With a pill down the hatch, all problems are solved.
So, one can imagine the status of the Transformation Pill in the hearts of Magical Beasts.
But Xiao Yan wasn't stupid. Don't even mention exchanging it for the location of an Strange Flame; even if the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King directly used the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame in exchange, he might not agree.
The value of a high-level Seventh-Rank pill is between 70,000 and 80,000 Soul Points, which can be exchanged for an Earth Rank high-level Cultivation Method, or even directly replace the royal family of the Gama Empire with proper planning.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, ranked twenty-second, might not really be worth that price.
Of course, in Xiao Yan's heart, it was definitely worth it. If he had a Transformation Pill, he would definitely exchange it for the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame. But exchanging it for a piece of information was impossible.
As Xiao Yan's voice fell, the entire Thatched Cottage fell silent again, with only the sound of Little Fairy Doctor pouring tea and Xiao Yan drinking tea.
The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King had been completely misled by Xiao Yan and had already defaulted in its heart that Xiao Yan was actually on equal footing with it; otherwise, it wouldn't be so quiet now.
Xiao Yan took a sip of medicinal tea, put down the teacup with a snap, and said with a smile, "Lion King, as an Alchemist, I am very eager for an Strange Flame, and Lion King, you are a Magical Beast who desires a Transformation Pill. I can understand your feelings. I have a proposal; I wonder if Lion King is willing to listen."
Xiao Yan's words were impeccable, making Little Fairy Doctor wonder for a moment which was the real Xiao Yan: the one from the past half-month or the one now.
"What proposal?"
Xiao Yan smiled in his heart, knowing that it was time for him to truly turn the tables.
"Before I make this proposal, I am very curious. Logically speaking, Lion King, you are a fire-attribute Magical Beast, and your cultivation has reached the Sixth-Order. Why don't you refine the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame yourself?"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King frowned, but did not answer Xiao Yan's question.
But at this point, whether it answered or not was no longer important, because sometimes not answering was already an answer.
"I see, no wonder you only said you would provide me with the location. I'm afraid that for some reason, even the Sixth-Order Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King cannot refine the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame." Xiao Yan understood in his heart that, regardless of the reason, the answer was that the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King could not possess the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame.
Otherwise, after refining the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame itself, it might even have the opportunity to complete the transformation process, without needing a Transformation Pill at all.
"I was being presumptuous." Xiao Yan had a sincere apology on his face.
"Since Lion King knows the whereabouts of the Strange Flame, needs pills, and I am an Alchemist who needs an Strange Flame, why not do this? Lion King, help me obtain the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, and when I reach the Seventh-Rank Alchemist in the future, I will definitely offer a Transformation Pill with both hands." Righteously and sternly, Xiao Yan's eyes were as sincere as a child's.
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King couldn't help but sneer, as if it was being treated like a fool! Just kidding, there wasn't even a Seventh-Rank Alchemist in the entire Gama Empire! "Boy, you are really daydreaming. The most powerful Pill King Gu He in your Gama Empire is only a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. You don't even know if you can become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, yet you want to get something for nothing?"
Xiao Yan was not annoyed or flustered after hearing this, and said proudly, "Heh, Gu He is just calling himself Pill King. A mere Sixth-Rank Alchemist is worthy of the name Pill King? It's simply laughable."
"I, Xiao Yan, am only two months away from being eighteen years old and am already a Fourth-Rank Alchemist. If I can obtain an Strange Flame, in five years at most, three years at least, I will definitely become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist."
"Three to five years is just a nap for the long-lived Lion King."
Xiao Yan's face was full of arrogance, and this confidence was not feigned. Xiao Yan had been surrounded by the halo of genius since he was a child, and this arrogance had accumulated over the years. Even the Soul Palace's Soul Path, he dared to chuang a chuang [try to break through], and he dared to bargain with Hun Xuzi, finally completing the Soul Path challenge and obtaining the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire.
He even defeated Nalan Yanran with one punch when she came to break off the engagement. Confidence comes from strength and experience! The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King was really bluffed by Xiao Yan! After all, what Xiao Yan said did make some sense. Not to mention Xiao Yan, if Gu He could obtain an Strange Flame, he might be able to reach the Seventh-Rank Alchemist soon.
Seeing the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King silent again, Xiao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Meeting is fate. This is not only my fate, but also Lion King's fate. The relationship between humans and Magical Beasts is not harmonious. I think Lion King, you don't have many opportunities to obtain a Transformation Pill."
Magical Beasts have strong bodies, but weak Souls, so it is extremely difficult for Magical Beasts to become Alchemists.
"I can tell you where the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame is, but you need to give me a Transformation Pill within five years."
Hearing the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's words, Xiao Yan's mouth was about to split open with laughter! Don't look at the fact that he still exchanged the news of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame for a Transformation Pill in the end, but in reality, Xiao Yan was equivalent to getting it for free! Xiao Yan had mastered the concept of 'financing', and he was able to get other people's resources for free with just his mouth.
Five years, who knows what the situation will be in five years!
When Alchemists ask experts to take action, they often verbally promise to give pills first, and only pay after the matter is completed. But this requires the Alchemist to really have the ability to refine them for people to believe you.
Now, Xiao Yan doesn't have the ability to refine them, and he is using his future ability to refine them as a transaction.
Hun Tiandi would have given Xiao Yan a thumbs-up if he had heard that.
The Little Fairy Doctor, who had been listening from the side, was completely bewildered. The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King had come to find Xiao Yan to settle accounts in a fit of rage, but how did he end up giving Xiao Yan the location of the Strange Flame in a daze? And without getting anything in return? But both the Little Fairy Doctor and the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
Xiao Yan slowly stood up, extended his hand, and said, "Happy cooperation."
"Now, Lion King, can you tell me why you didn't refine the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame yourself?"
The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King still didn't realize he had been tricked and replied in a deep voice, "Because the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame is in the Beast Tomb."
"Beast Tomb? A graveyard for Magical Beasts?" This was the first time Xiao Yan had heard of a Beast Tomb in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Unexpectedly, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King shook his head. Even the Sixth-Order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, looked grim when that place was mentioned.
"That is a battlefield, a battlefield where Magical Beasts and humans once fought to the death."
