If he wasn't mistaken, inside this thing should be the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence.
This item only had a minuscule chance of being produced alongside the cub when a Rank 6 Amethyst Winged Lion King gave birth.
And because it stayed inside the Lion King's body for an extremely long time, the pure energy it contained was truly astonishing.
Once the cub grew to the Rank 4, as long as it swallowed this Amethyst Lion Birth Essence, it could directly advance to the Rank 5.
Moreover, the Purple Flame within its body would be even stronger than that of other Amethyst Winged Lions who hadn't consumed a Amethyst Lion Birth Essence!
This Amethyst Lion Birth Essence could elevate a magical beast from early Rank 4 to Rank 5. For humans, that was equivalent to pushing a one-star Dou Ling directly to the Dou Wang realm.
Its value was self-evident.
Stretching out his hand, Lin Feng had just touched the sphere when he felt a scorching pain, making him suck in a sharp breath and immediately retract his hand.
However, being burned also jolted him back to reality—he needed to secure the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence as soon as possible.
Taking out the Amethyst Spirit Stone he had picked up earlier, he knew that only this item could break through the sphere's protective barrier.
Of course, if one had enough strength, they could also forcefully break through it.
But Lin Feng obviously wasn't at that level yet.
Gripping the Amethyst Spirit Stone tightly, he suddenly realized he hadn't prepared a container.
Taking out a jade bottle, he then fiercely smashed the Amethyst Spirit Stone against the purple sphere.
"Crack—"
After the Amethyst Spirit Stone struck the sphere, there was a brief silence before a crack appeared on the surface.
A moment later, the crack spread, and with a bang, a hole burst open.
As soon as the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence's protective barrier shattered, purple liquid immediately began to flow out.
Lin Feng, reacting swiftly, extended his jade bottle and steadily collected the Birth Essence.
Although the exterior of the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence was scalding hot, Lin Feng quickly noticed something peculiar—
The liquid inside was unexpectedly cool.
Just as he had collected half of it, Lin Feng suddenly felt the Xiao Cai on his arm disappear.
The next moment, it floated into the air, its eyes blazing as it stared at the purple liquid in front of it.
"Xiao Cai, don't mess around! I'll give you some later. Right now, I need to collect the Birth Essence—if it spills, it'll be wasted."
Seeing the Heaven Swallowing Python, Lin Feng worried it would try to snatch the Birth Essence, so he quickly whispered a warning.
"Ying-ying~"
Hearing Lin Feng's scolding, Xiao Cai let out a spoiled whimper.
Its small body circled excitedly around the purple sphere.
Though the sphere appeared large, the amount of purple liquid inside was limited—Lin Feng only managed to fill six small jade bottles before it stopped flowing.
Seeing that nothing more was coming out, Lin Feng quickly stored away the Birth Essence and placed more than a dozen jade bottles filled with fourth-tier pills on the ground.
These could serve as a small compensation for the young Amethyst Winged Lion.
After all, without the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence, its growth would definitely slow down significantly.
With these pills as an energy supplement, at least it could still advance a few stars within the fourth rank.
"Bang!"
Just as Lin Feng put down the pills, he suddenly heard the sound of something breaking behind him.
Turning around, he saw that Xiao Cai had violently severed the connection between the sphere and the Purple Spirit Stone Platform.
At this moment, Xiao Cai was joyfully wrapping its slender body tightly around the sphere, rolling around in the air.
"Damn! Xiao Cai, why did you take this thing down?"
Seeing this, Lin Feng hurried over.
Holding the floating sphere, he peeked inside through the opening—and suddenly understood.
Although no more purple liquid had been flowing out earlier, there were still some remnants inside.
No wonder Xiao Cai was so eager to get it!
"I'll hold onto this for now. Once everything is settled, I'll give it back to you."
After saying that, Lin Feng directly pulled Xiao Cai off, placed it in his arms, and stored the sphere into his storage ring.
Scanning his surroundings to confirm that he hadn't left anything behind, he dashed toward the cave exit.
At the same time, the young Amethyst Winged Lion had also regained consciousness.
Just as it tried to stand up, it suddenly realized—it couldn't muster any strength at all!
It immediately attempted to roar to alert its mother and stop the thief who had stolen the Birth Essence.
However, to its despair, it discovered that its throat wasn't working either—no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't make a sound!
One disaster after another, the young Amethyst Winged Lion was so anxious it was about to cry.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng continued sprinting madly.
When he saw the light up ahead, he remembered that there were still two third-rank magical beasts guarding the entrance.
Immediately, he activated the Dou Qi in his body—
Behind him, a pair of purple wings slowly unfolded!
As the exit came within ten meters, Lin Feng pushed off the ground with all his strength.
As his body lifted off, his legs bent, and he hugged his knees with his arms.
In the instant he soared past the cave entrance, his Purple Wings suddenly became fully extended!
Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of the two third-rank magical beasts at the cave entrance—
Lin Feng flew into the sky!
"Yun Yun, let's go!"
Flying high into the sky, Lin Feng shouted towards Yun Yun, who was with the Amethyst Winged Lion King in the distance.
"Dou Qi Wings? No… it's a flying Dou Technique!"
Yun Yun was startled when she saw the pair of purple wings.
But considering Lin Feng's current strength, it was impossible for him to use Dou Qi Wings. She quickly realized it was a flying Dou Technique, and her face immediately darkened.
This guy had clung to her the entire way here, pretending to be scared.
Now it seemed that this bastard had been taking advantage of her on purpose.
"Despicable human! You actually lured me away from my cave!"
Seeing Lin Feng flying out of its lair, the Amethyst Winged Lion King instantly realized it had fallen into their trap. Its massive jaws opened wide, and a deafening lion's roar exploded out, shattering several nearby mountain peaks.
"Holy shit!"
Lin Feng, who was in the distance, felt a powerful shockwave rush toward him.
His entire body spun in the air like he had fallen into a vortex, tumbling backward for an unknown distance before he barely managed to stabilize himself.
"You dare steal from me? Then leave your life behind!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King had no intention of letting Lin Feng escape. It opened its mouth wide, and a searing purple flame surged forth.
The extreme heat caused the air to distort wherever the purple flames passed.
"Wind Thrust!"
Seeing that Lin Feng was in danger, Yun Yun's cyan wings flashed as she appeared in front of him.
With a soft yet crisp voice, a violent gust of cyan wind coiled before her, then roared forward, colliding with the massive purple flames and stopping them in their tracks.
"Amethyst Winged Lion King, you should go check on your son. He doesn't seem to be in good condition."
Seeing the purple flames blocked, Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief and shouted loudly toward the Amethyst light.
"What?! Bastard! If anything happens to my son, you two will die with him!"
Hearing Lin Feng's words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King roared furiously. It immediately dispersed its purple barrier, ignoring the two, and rushed off to find its son.
Seeing that it had been successfully distracted, Lin Feng quickly grabbed Yun Yun from behind, dispelling his purple wings. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "Let's go!"
"Don't you have wings?"
Feeling the man's breath behind her, Yun Yun rolled her eyes helplessly at the shameless Lin Feng before flying toward the distance.
"Hehe, how can my speed compare to yours?"
Lying against her soft back, Lin Feng wrapped his arms tightly around her slender waist and laughed.
Yun Yun shot him another glare but didn't argue. Instead, she accelerated like a shooting star, speeding away from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
After a while, once they had completely left the dangerous area, she found a secluded spot and slowly descended.
"Swoosh!"
As soon as they landed, Yun Yun released a bit of her Dou Qi, flinging Lin Feng a few meters away.
"You bastard, you actually dared—"
Her delicate voice carried anger, her cheeks flushed crimson as she thought about what this shameless man had done along the way.
She immediately drew the long sword at her slender waist and pointed it at Lin Feng.
"Yun Yun, don't be rash! I'm the only heir of my family in this world—you can't do this! Besides, who told you to be so beautiful? If you were ugly, I definitely wouldn't have done that!"
Lin Feng raised both hands, trying to pacify her.
Hearing this, Yun Yun's already blushing face turned an even deeper shade of red. With a mix of shame and anger, she scolded, "So according to you, this is my fault?"
Even as she spoke, her sword flicked in an elegant arc before being sheathed once more.
Turning away, Yun Yun couldn't help but secretly blame the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
If that beast hadn't sealed her before, none of this would have happened.
During that time, every morning, she had woken up in this bastard's embrace.
Now, she had gotten so used to it that every time he held her, she couldn't push him away.
And that time when he treated her wounds… as someone who had never experienced such things before, how could she ever forget?
"Sigh…"
After a long moment of contemplation, Yun Yun let out a soft sigh and finally asked, "Did you get the Purple Spirit Crystal?"
"Oh, right here."
Lin Feng took out the Purple Spirit Crystal from his storage ring and tossed it over.
Catching the crystal, Yun Yun gazed at Lin Feng's deep black eyes. Thinking about the intimate way he had treated her during the healing process, she unconsciously placed her jade-like hand over the spot where she had been injured.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly asked, "Do you… want to return to Yun Lan Sect with me?"
"I'll pass. I still have a lot of things to deal with right now."
Lin Feng had too many matters weighing on him, so he naturally couldn't go to Yun Lan Sect with her. He rejected her offer outright.
More importantly, if he went to Yun Lan Sect, when Xiao Yan arrived for the Three-Year Agreement, he would likely sense the Green Lotus Core Flame's presence.
That would cause a lot of trouble.
"…Alright, since you don't want to go, I won't force you. From what I can tell, your Dou Qi technique should be at the High-Grade Black Class. I don't have anything higher than that, but your movement technique seems to be only at the Low-Grade Black Class. I happen to have an extra Mid-Grade Black Class movement technique—take it and use it."
Seeing Lin Feng refuse, a trace of disappointment flashed in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes. However, she quickly retrieved a scroll and flicked it toward Lin Feng with a gentle movement of her jade-like fingers.
