Lin Xiao wasn’t greedy, mainly because he couldn’t give away all of his Dou Qi.
Converting it later would take time, and Lin Xiao didn’t want to spend every last drop of his Dou Qi.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn’t stop him either; she nodded in agreement and then stared at Lin Xiao with wide eyes.
Her expression seemed to say, “I want it, I want that energy.”
Lin Xiao smiled and looked toward the Scarlet King.
“Scarlet King, do you want to verify this energy of mine?
Just so nothing goes wrong.”
The Scarlet King paused, thinking with its three heads, and decided that the human had a point.
“Fine, I’ll verify it first.”
“You are the Auspicious Beast’s friend, so I trust you, but this is my duty.”
The Scarlet King explained.
Lin Xiao didn’t mind.
He feigned forcing a strand of energy from his hand, though it actually came from his Ring.
The Dou Qi condensed in Lin Xiao’s hand, confined by the energy within his body.
The Scarlet King sensed it and found no issues.
“This energy of yours is quite high-level, but there’s too little of it.
It’s useless to me.”
“If I were at your level, I’d think this amount of energy was useless too.”
Lin Xiao chuckled and handed the energy to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion patted its paws, and a brilliant golden energy was released from them.
A vertical eye opened at the center of its forehead.
The Dou Qi Lin Xiao handed over was enveloped by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s energy.
Seeing this, Lin Xiao provided four more strands.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion followed suit, enveloping these four strands of energy and happily tucking them away, looking at Lin Xiao with satisfaction.
“Awoo, awoo.” Looking at Lin Xiao, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke again.
The Scarlet King translated, “The Auspicious Beast asks what kind of spirit ring you need.
She’ll go catch one for you now.”
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was quite true to her word.
Lin Xiao nodded and carefully sensed his Spirit.
“A dark-attribute dragon-type Spirit Beast of around fifteen hundred years.”
“Is that possible?”
Lin Xiao wasn’t sure if he could absorb a spirit ring of such high cultivation, but he knew he needed to cultivate Soul Power.
During the conversion process, the amount of Soul Power flooding into his body wouldn’t actually be that much.
But there was a limit after all.
Fifteen hundred years was what Yao Lao had told him earlier; otherwise, he would have wanted to try two thousand years.
Dragon-type Spirit Beasts were of a very high grade.
A thousand-year one contained far more Soul Power than an ordinary Spirit Beast.
“You certainly aren’t polite, kid.”
“A dragon-type Spirit Beast…
you sure have the nerve to ask.
Aren’t you afraid Di Tian will come looking for trouble?”
The Scarlet King teased Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao chuckled.
“Didn’t you tell me to say it?
the great Scarlet King wouldn’t go back on his word with a Rank 10 Spirit Master, would he?”
“Hmph, how could that be?
Just wait here and look after the Auspicious Beast.
I’ll be right back.”
The Scarlet King snorted coldly.
To think a puny human dared to look down on it!
How hateful!!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a laughing sound, then leaped into Lin Xiao’s arms and curled up to rest.
It seemed she really liked the scent of the Dou Qi on Lin Xiao’s body.
In less than three minutes, the Scarlet King returned carrying a dark purple dragon.
“Kid, hurry up and absorb it.
Hmph!”
The Scarlet King was full of disdain.
But before Lin Xiao could kill the dragon, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stepped forward.
She walked proudly to the dragon, pointed at Lin Xiao, and let out a few howls.
Lin Xiao paused.
Was this little thing asking the dragon to Sacrifice itself to him?
“Wait a moment, Auspicious Beast.
Are you asking it to perform a Sacrifice for me?”
Lin Xiao hurriedly stopped her.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded.
Lin Xiao’s face lit up with joy, and then he shamelessly spoke up, “Um, well, can I change the Spirit Beast then?
Since it’s a Sacrifice, fifteen hundred years seems a bit low.”
“I say, kid, don’t push your luck.
Fifteen hundred years—don’t you know how rare dragon-type Spirit Beasts are?”
“Wanting an even higher age?
You’re dreaming.”
“No way!!”
The Scarlet King immediately spoke up to block him.
Humans were truly greedy; it didn’t know if it was a good or bad thing for the Auspicious Beast to befriend him.
Lin Xiao chuckled.
Fine, fine, there’s plenty of time in the future.
He’d scam them next time.
Lin Xiao also saw the Scarlet King’s displeasure and didn’t push his luck further.
Fifteen hundred years it is.
If he had known, he would have asked for a higher age from the start.
A tactical error, Lin Xiao thought with a face full of regret.
The next moment, the dragon obeyed the command and sacrificed itself to Lin Xiao.
Because of the Sacrifice, the Soul Power was much gentler.
Lin Xiao didn’t hesitate and immediately began the conversion.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion noticed that energy appearing again and immediately ran to Lin Xiao’s side, enjoying the rare warmth.
The Scarlet King watched closely, its eyes full of confusion.
Its three heads felt a bit itchy from trying to understand.
It couldn’t figure it out, so it stopped thinking; any more and it might actually grow a brain. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
After a long time, Lin Xiao finally woke up from his cultivation.
Lin Xiao’s body glowed with a dark purple light, and a purple spirit ring emerged beneath his feet.
“Auspicious Beast, move back a bit.”
Lin Xiao spoke, and the next moment, his voice rang out, “First Spirit Ability: Dark Feast!!”
As soon as the Spirit Ability was activated, the area within a three-meter radius centered on Lin Xiao was instantly shrouded in darkness.
Lin Xiao’s strength increased by thirty percent, and his attacks carried Dragon Might.
He felt that with his current self combined with the Eight Extremities Collapse, he could completely crush a thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Now, the speed of Soul Power conversion could be accelerated again.
The Scarlet King sensed the darkness and clicked its tongues.
“You brat, aren’t you afraid of being treated as an Evil Soul Master?”
“According to what you’re saying, Zi Ji and Di Tian are also dark.
Should we humans kill them?”
Lin Xiao retorted irritably.
This guy really didn’t know how to talk.
The Scarlet King scratched its heads.
That seemed to make some sense, but why did it sound so annoying?
“I can’t win an argument with you, hmph.”
The Scarlet King didn’t say anything more to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao retracted his Spirit Ability and Spirit, then gently picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
“I’m leaving now.
In three months, if I haven’t shown up…”
“…then this deal will be delayed.
Is that okay?”
Lin Xiao rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion’s head and spoke gently.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded.
“Awoo, awoo.”
The Scarlet King translated, “The Auspicious Beast says okay.”
“Also, stop hunting those low-level Spirit Beasts.”
Lin Xiao gave an embarrassed smile.
“Don’t worry.”
After handing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion back to the Scarlet King, Lin Xiao prepared to leave.
After taking a couple of steps, he turned back and said, “Auspicious Beast, if you ever take human form, I’ll come and give you a name.”
With that, Lin Xiao left.
The Auspicious Beast was lost in thought.
Taking human form?
Maybe it was possible.
“Bad brat, still trying to tempt the Auspicious Beast.
What nerve.”
“I must give him a good lesson next time.”
Before the Scarlet King could finish, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion glared over.
The Scarlet King awkwardly turned its heads away.
Once out of the Scarlet King’s range, Yao Lao spoke up, “Little fellow, that Auspicious Beast’s third eye contains the power of destiny.”
