In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 88 Damn it! This king knows he was wrong!

But at this point, the matter is already settled, and there's nothing that can be done about it, even if one wants to go back on their word.

The lion's head, which had always been held high, now drooped somewhat dejectedly.

Xiao Ran smiled slightly and reached out to grab it.

Immediately, streaks of white light, resembling tiny white particles, seeped out from the body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

In an instant, it condensed in the air into a white flame just like the previous one.

With a single wave of his hand, Xiao Ran withdrew the Taiyin True Fire and discovered that both his fighting spirit and soul power had increased significantly.

This is indeed a new application of the Taiyin True Fire.

Then Xiao Ran smiled and said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King that it had landed on the ground.

"Rest assured, Lion King, from now on, we are all one family."

"As long as you don't have any disloyal intentions towards me, I won't easily activate the Soul Seal."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King snorted coldly.

"How dare you! I will never let you be my mount."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes helplessly and silently activated his soul imprint.

The seven- or eight-meter-long Amethyst Winged Lion King was in so much pain that it rolled around on the mountainside.

"Oh dear! Damn it, damn it! I know I was wrong!"

"Stop doing that thing! It hurts like hell! I know I was wrong, okay?"

Xiao Ran discovered that the Soul Imprint was indeed useful; with just a thought, he could cause the Lion King unbearable pain.

At this moment, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, lying on the ground, roared angrily, its tongue lolling out.

"Despicable human, it's not that simple to make me completely submit. You need to agree to one more condition."

"What are the conditions?"

Xiao Ran put away the Soul Imprint and was in a great mood after subduing the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King turned its enormous head toward the cave and said...

"My son is very talented. I hope you can find him a Transformation Pill in the future to help him transform into human form and cultivate."

"Furthermore, you are forbidden from using such methods to enslave my son!"

"Otherwise, I would rather be killed by you right now!"

I never imagined that fatherly love could be so great in the animal kingdom. This cowardly lion actually had such a side, which made me admire him even more.

Seeing that Xiao Ran remained silent, the Amethyst Winged Lion King assumed that Xiao Ran was not going to agree to its conditions.

He was immediately enraged.

"Despicable human! I've already been marked with your soul seal. Can't you even grant me such a small request?"

Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.

"One Transformation Pill is certainly not enough."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately bared its teeth, about to attack.

But then they heard Xiao Ran say,

"With the Transformation Pill, your son can naturally accelerate his cultivation speed."

"But what about you, Lion King? Don't you want the Transformation Pill?"

"I?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was taken aback upon hearing this.

He never expected that Xiao Ran would say such a thing.

Although his heart warmed, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who insisted on suffering in the lion's face, still turned his head and said rather arrogantly,

"I, the King, will never accept food offered in contempt!"

"Moreover, I am already a fifth-level Douhuang expert, and it won't be long before I advance to the seventh level."

"When the time comes, it will naturally take human form, so there's no need to waste it."

Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, saying,

"What the Lion King said makes sense, but what you mean by 'not long' is at least several decades, and could even be several hundred years if you're unlucky. Can you really wait that long?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's enormous eyes narrowed.

Looking at Xiao Ran with considerable surprise,

"Do you really intend to give me a Transformation Pill?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I told you, we are friends."

"friend?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyelids twitched.

Whose friends fight to the death the moment they meet?

He added extra ingredients to his barbecue, threatened his son, and planted a soul mark on it.

Instead, he looked at Xiao Ran with suspicion and asked,

"Do you really think you can produce a Transformation Pill?"

Xiao Ran said with a smile,

"You saw my flames earlier. To be honest, I am an alchemist."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was overjoyed upon hearing this.

The enormous lion's mouth split open, revealing pale white, sharp teeth.

"Haha, that's great!"

"Very well! Since you, this despicable human, are so agreeable, then I, the king, will agree to cooperate with you and be your friend!"

He was speechless. He had said earlier that he was a high-level alchemist who could produce a Transformation Pill.

I will immediately bow down and pay my respects. Why would I need to fight you?

In the end, I even had an extra soul imprint in my soul. What a huge loss!

"Lion King, I hope you remember this: if you ever call me a despicable human again, don't blame me for treating you to another barbecue feast."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King shrank its head.

"Fine, I won't tell you then. I don't care anyway."

"By the way, Xiao Ran, when can you give me the pills?"

Looking at the somewhat lion-like Amethyst Winged Lion King, such a gentle tone made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Xiao Ran was somewhat speechless.

"Lion King, I still prefer your previous unruly self. Please try to revert to your former self."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was slightly taken aback, then proudly raised its head.

He roared at the fourth and fifth-tier magical beasts surrounding the mountain peak.

"What are you all doing here? Waiting for me to treat you to a lavish meal? Get out of here!"

The group of monster minions trembled with fear and turned to run away.

All that could be seen across the mountains and fields were the rumps of monsters running away.

……

Qingshan Town.

Xiao Yan, carrying the heavy ruler on his back, finally arrived at Qingshan Town.

"Teacher! I did it!"

The voice of the old man resounded in Xiao Yan's mind.

"Very good! I knew you could do it!"

"I'll buy some common medicinal herbs here, rest for a day, and then head into the Monster Mountain Range for intensive training tomorrow!"

Xiao Yan asked weakly,

"Teacher, I can..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old doctor.

"Of course not! If you could do anything, what would be the point of ascetic practice?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just stay at the Xiao family's place?"

"Think of your fiancée, think of her still waiting for you at the Yunlan Sect to defeat her and possess her!"

Can you be content with the status quo?

Upon hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan, who was originally exhausted, immediately perked up.

With a gritted teeth.

"Absolutely not!"

Finally, Xiao Yan arrived at the largest pharmacy in Qingshan Town, Wanyaozhai.

After looking at everything on the counter, Xiao Yan shook his head in disappointment.

Although there were quite a few intermediate-grade medicinal herbs among them, they were of little use to Xiao Yan at the moment.

Just then, Xiao Yan's eyes inadvertently fell on a pale yellow object in the corner of the counter.

His eyes lit up, he licked his lips, walked to the counter, and lowered his head.

After carefully examining the pale yellow object, I confirmed it in my mind.

He smiled at a shop assistant who walked over.

"Could you please take this out for me?"

The shop assistant glanced at Xiao Yan, who was dressed in ordinary clothes, and then looked at what he wanted and found that it was just a piece of the lowest grade Coptis chinensis extract.
