Jia Xingtian did not pay much attention to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, instead, he surveyed the scene of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
There were signs of a very intense battle.
Jia Xingtian understood. The two Sixth-Rank Demon Beast auras that he had sensed a few days ago indeed came from here.
Seeing that Jia Xingtian was ignoring him, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was somewhat angry, but he did not dare to act out.
Now, the enemy was strong and he was weak. The intelligence of a Fifth Tier Demon Beast was already not inferior to humans, and a Sixth-Rank Demon Beast was even more so. Naturally, he knew how to be patient.
Jia Xingtian frowned at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Why is there only one?
The Jiamai Empire bordered the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and as a guardian of the royal family, he naturally knew the situation inside the mountain range.
Thinking about the intense battle that had taken place here, Jia Xingtian had a theory.
Although the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King looked rather weak, he was not injured.
So, the other Demon Beast in the battle should be the other Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
Jia Xingtian asked, "May I ask, where is the other Purple Crystal Winged Lion King?"
Hearing this, the already angry Purple Crystal Winged Lion King roared, no longer suppressing his anger.
"Human, if you push it too far, we might as well fight to the death!"
The roar of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was like a signal. The other Demon Beasts inside the Demon Beast Mountain Range all looked at Jia Xingtian with hostile eyes.
Numerous Demon Beasts released their auras, pressing towards Jia Xingtian. The aura of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was the strongest, followed closely by three Fifth Tier Demon Beasts.
They did not intervene in the battle between the two Sixth-Rank Demon Beasts earlier because it was an internal matter of the Demon Beasts. But now that a human powerhouse had come, they would not stand by idly.
The antagonism between humans and Demon Beasts was not just talk.
Jia Xingtian did not back down either. He emitted the aura of a Peak Nine-Star Battlemaster, a heavy and earth-like aura that countered the many Demon Beasts.
Although Jia Xingtian's personal strength was strong, he could not possibly match the entire Demon Beast group. He soon fell into a disadvantage.
Both sides stood off for a while, neither willing to yield.
Jia Xingtian stroked his beard and came to a conclusion in his mind.
He had merely wanted to test the attitude of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and did not really intend to start a fight.
He did not sense the aura of the other Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
The conflict was almost at the point of direct action, but the other one had not shown up yet.
So, either it was not here, or it was... dead.
Reaching this conclusion, Jia Xingtian's eyes turned dangerous as he looked at the group of Demon Beasts.
After a long time, Jia Xingtian abandoned this plan.
The Jiamai Empire had both external and internal troubles, not just the Demon Beast Mountain Range as an enemy.
Whether it was the Snake People Clan of the Tallgor Great Desert, the surrounding major empires, or the Yunlam Sect, they were all threats.
If someone took advantage of the situation, it would not be worth it.
Jia Xingtian shook his head.
In the end, he was still too conservative. If he gathered an army and launched a swift attack, he could possibly clear out the Demon Beasts inside the Demon Beast Mountain Range, ensuring decades of peace without the worry of a Beast Tide.
Jia Xingtian's Martial Qi surged, drawing on the energy of heaven and earth. He casually waved his hand forward, breaking the auras of the Demon Beasts and also withdrawing his own aura.
"King Lion, there's no need to get so agitated. If King Lion is unwilling to answer, I will not force it."
Jia Xingtian clasped his hands and said to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.
Seeing this, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King also heaved a sigh of relief.
Such a mutual destruction was something he did not want to do unless it was absolutely necessary.
Su Yun watched the situation in the sky. As expected, if Jia Xingtian had attacked the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King now, there would have been no place for Yun Yun later.
Jia Xingtian obtained the information he wanted and flew away from the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Seeing Jia Xingtian leave, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King let out a long roar, dispersing the many Demon Beasts and returning to his cave.
Su Yun stretched lazily. The spectacle was finally over, and it was time to go back.
Su Yun came out of the system space, and as usual, the Purple Cloud Wings and Phantom Step Technique were activated, and he began to fly out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Returning home, Su Yun recovered his Martial Qi, took out the ice snake's corpse, and held the Cold Jade Sword to extract the magic core from the corpse.
After putting the ice snake's corpse away, he took out the alchemy cauldron and various herbs and began to refine a pill.
A fourth-grade pill was not difficult for Su Yun now. He succeeded on his first try without any failure.
Su Yun held the fourth-grade pill in his hand with a calm expression, having become accustomed to it.
Unless he was extremely tired, or his Martial Qi was insufficient, or his soul power was severely depleted, he would generally not fail to refine a fourth-grade pill.
Su Yun slightly adjusted his state and then took out the Purple Fire seed from the system space.
Just as Su Yun was about to directly swallow the pill and refine the Purple Fire, his expression paused.
Su Yun seemed to have thought of something and put everything down, beginning to search his memory.
Body Strengthening Combat Technique!
The previous idea came back to him.
Body Strengthening Combat Techniques were difficult to cultivate, and the cultivation process was extremely painful. Not only did it consume a lot of resources, but it could also leave hidden injuries in the body.
Therefore, few people on the Martial Qi continent cultivated their physical bodies, focusing most of their energy on Martial Qi.
There were basically no human forces renowned for their physical strength, but Demon Beasts were a different story.
But for him, it was not the same. He had the system's fusion function, and he only needed a magic core to succeed in cultivation.
At first, he wanted to cultivate a Body Strengthening Combat Technique just to make the absorption of strange fire easier, so he wouldn't suffer too much.
But now, it could clearly serve as a significant means to enhance his strength.
The scene of his battle with the ice snake was still vivid in his mind.
If not for the power of the Buddha's Wrath Fire Lotus, he would have had to expend a lot more effort to kill it.
Actually, his current strength was already very strong, making him invincible at his realm in the Jiamai Empire.
But the strength of the ice snake, in human terms, was at the level of a Six-Star Dou Ling.
If it were a Three-Star Dou Ling, he could handle it easily, but a six-star jump in strength was still too much of a stretch.
Actually, there was a way to solve this.
Absorbing a strange fire or cultivating an Earth Rank Martial Technique could completely solve the problem.
Uh...
It could only be said that his current situation was still somewhat awkward.
He couldn't absorb the Bonespirit Cold Fire, and he was still planning to absorb the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.
As for an Earth Rank Martial Technique, without a fifth-grade magic core, he couldn't use the system's fusion function to directly achieve mastery.
As for cultivating it himself, he had not considered it. With such a convenient method, he did not want to waste time.
Using a sixth-grade magic core to directly achieve mastery in a high-level Earth Rank Martial Technique was not even worth thinking about.
The consumption of a high-level Earth Rank Martial Technique was far beyond what a mere Great Battlemaster could afford.
A low-level Earth Rank Martial Technique was more feasible.
The leap from low to mid and mid to high in an Earth Rank Martial Technique was not comparable to that of a Mystic Rank Combat Technique.
A single level difference was like the difference between heaven and earth, whether in power or consumption.
He had to admit that his current combat power was far behind Xiao Yan's, who was also a Nine-Star Great Battlemaster in the original story.
