As Xiong Zhan finished speaking,
the surface of the three-meter-long pool began to ripple, and soon a powerful aura emerged.
"Glug!"
A stream of bubbles burst out from the center of the deep pool, like boiling water.
"Splash!"
Then a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the deep pool, causing a flurry of splashes.
This black shadow was not long, only about two meters, and its entire body was covered in blue scales.
The patterns on the scales resembled tiger stripes, giving it a ferocious appearance. The ferocious giant mouth opened and closed, revealing sharp white teeth that glittered with a cold light.
Turning around, he saw Xiong Zhan standing by the pool with his arms crossed. A trace of human fear flashed in his eyes, and when he spoke, he was humble.
"Respected Bear King, what brings me to Tiger Dragon today?"
Xiong Zhan raised his chin, pointed to the boulder behind Tiger Dragon, and said, "I came to ask you for Danling Juice."
Tiger Dragon followed Xiong Zhan's gaze and saw that his own emerald green liquid was reflected in his eyes. His gaze darkened, and a slight sadness enveloped him.
This emerald green liquid was the basis for awakening his spiritual mind and successfully transforming into a seventh-level magical beast. It seemed like he couldn't hold it back any longer.
Tiger Dragon turned around, facing the overwhelming aura emanating from Xiong Zhan, and did not dare to resist. He lowered his head and said sadly:
"Since the Bear King has set his sights on me, Tiger Dragon will not dare to disobey…"
"Don't worry, it will not be in vain!"
With these words, Xiong Zhan turned around and looked at Liu Xi.
"Master, you can talk to him about the rest!"
Liu Xi slowly stepped forward, looking at the two-meter-tall Tiger Dragon. In combat, he could easily transform into a monster over a hundred meters tall in the blink of an eye.
His gaze was calm and indifferent, but Tiger Jiao did not dare to treat him like an ordinary person. Liu Xi's aura was no less impressive than Xiong Zhan's.
He emitted an incomparably scorching aura, instilling fear into this water-born demonic creature.
"Master!"
Liu Xi nodded. For a demonic creature, there was nothing more desirable than to assume human form. Not only would it have the lifespan of a demonic beast, but it would also have human abilities.
"A seventh-level Transformation Pill. I need two-thirds of your Danling Juice. It awakens the spiritual intelligence of demonic beasts. I'll leave some for you."
Liu Xi, who had traveled around the area for many years, had become a famous eighth-level alchemist in Zhongzhou. Although the Transformation Herb was rare, it was now easy to obtain.
He had originally intended her for Zi Yan, but given her current charming appearance, he decided that she should mature gradually.
Xiong Zhan looked at Liu Xi in surprise. He didn't expect that Liu Xi would exchange her for this pill that had an incredible attraction for demonic beasts.
One look at Tiger Jiao's current appearance would reveal the truth.
He raised his head high, his eyes were burning with passion, and he looked at Liu Xi with a fiery gaze.
"Master, Tiger Jiao is willing to bargain!"
With the Xuanshui Transformation Pill, Tiger Jiao was confident that he could even reach the eighth level of a magical beast, becoming an existence equal to the Bear King.
Seeing everything going smoothly, Liu Xi's lips curled into a slight smile, and his heart filled with joy.
He raised his hand and clenched it, revealing an exquisite jade bottle containing a rank seven Transformation Pill.
Liu Xi had already refined it when he had a soul from the Spirit Realm. Therefore, although this pill was not eighth-rank, its quality and medicinal properties were exceptional.
He casually tossed it to Tiger Dragon. With two Dou Zuns guarding it, there was no need to worry about Tiger Dragon refusing. If he did, even the Transformation Pill would be lost.
Tiger Dragon raised his paw to take the jade bottle, his long whiskers fluttering chaotically on both sides of his head, revealing his inner excitement. Then, with a quick reaction, Tiger Dragon quickly left.
With the Transformation Pill in his hand, the viscous liquid was someone else's. Tiger Dragon did not dare to plot anything bad, but fortunately, Liu Xi promised to leave him a third one.
Therefore, Tiger Dragon's initial sadness turned into joy.
In short, it was a good deal!
As for Liu Xi, how could he suffer a loss? Combined with this Spirit Juice Pill and the Tianma Jade Essence, it would neutralize the Earth Soul Essence and would definitely elevate the soul to a high-level Spirit Realm.
The benefits are countless, far greater than what a seventh-level transformation pill could provide.
Tiger Dragon stepped aside, and Liu Xi stepped forward, appearing in front of the boulder. Looking at the emerald green liquid, his smile widened.
He took out a jade flask and a jade spoon, and spoon by spoon, he filled the flask with the elixir until two-thirds were empty, leaving the flask half full.
Satisfied, Liu Xi took the bottle and the jade spoon, saying, "If you want to keep one third, then keep it." The two thirds in his hands were more than enough.
He gracefully turned around, walked towards Zi Yan, and picked her up. Zi Yan narrowed her eyes, pressed herself against Liu Xi's chest, and greeted him.
"Brother Xiong, let's go back to your cave. I'll borrow it for a while."
"Please, lord. We're just friends. Feel free to use the cave. I'll protect you and make sure no one bothers you."
Xiong Zhan turned around and followed Liu Xi, a smile beaming on his stern face, and confidently patted his chest.
Cao Ying: ...
I feel like I'm being targeted, but I have no proof. It seems like I'm the only one who feels like an outsider.
After Liu Xi left, the tiger dragon immediately swam up to the boulder. Sure enough, a third of the emerald green liquid remained in the hole.
Looking at the jade bottle in its paws, the tiger dragon smiled stupidly, as if the dragon was sitting at home and the medicine was falling from the sky.
Finally, with a splash, it dove into the pool, causing a huge splash, as if expressing some impatience.
Otherwise,
nothing unusual happened along the way. Liu Xi, Zi Yan, and Cao Ying followed Xiong Zhan to the cave dwelling in the mountains.
Frightened by Xiong Zhan, the two guard beasts remained prostrate on the ground the entire time, even wagging their tails, welcoming Xiong Zhan's return like loyal puppies.
"Oh my god! So many medicinal herbs, herbs from the Wanyao Mountain Range, were transported here."
Entering the hall, Cao Ying, who had just arrived, stared at the huge area of medicinal herbs with her beautiful eyes wide open and her mouth slightly open.
She then looked at Liu Xi, her eyes sparkling with a crystal shine, and said charmingly, "Master, I wonder if I can..."
Liu Xi glanced at Cao Ying, her eyes burning with desire. In this herbal garden, perhaps no alchemist will remain indifferent.
"All of this belongs to Brother Xiong. If you need any medicinal herbs, please contact Brother Xiong personally to exchange them. You are also a high-level alchemist, so it is a fair trade."
She then called Xiong Zhan, and under the leadership of Zi Yan, they went to her boudoir, where she was temporarily staying. Xiong Zhan guarded the outside, and Zi Yan guarded the inside.
Only then could Liu Xi completely calm down.
