"Lion King, thank you."
Yan Qingshan accepted the Lion King's essence blood sealed in the purple spirit crystal. The essence blood of a sixth-rank magical beast was still too high-level for him. Even a drop could burst him.
Although the Lion Heart Baptism could absorb and fuse across ranks, the highest it could go was three ranks. In other words, he would have to be at least a Dou Grandmaster to perform the third baptism with this Lion King essence blood.
Suddenly, a lake-green figure flew across the sky. When Bai Ya discovered this person, it excitedly let out a series of hisses, attracting her here. The Amethyst Winged Lion King became more vigilant.
Although the transaction with Yan Qingshan went smoothly, it was not the naive little Amethyst Winged Lion. With a sixth-rank Eight-Winged Black Serpent Emperor and a fifth-rank Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake, it and its clan members could still cope. But adding a Dou Emperor would be too much to bear.
Lu Man looked at Bai Ya displeased and said, "Bai Ya, why did you bring them into the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range? I've been looking for you for a long time."
Bai Ya shook its head repeatedly and pointed at Yan Qingshan with its tail, indicating that it was all his idea. "Not me, it has nothing to do with me. This kid wanted to come here."
"Five-Star Dou Master! Sixth-rank Amethyst Winged Lion King! Your cultivation has progressed so rapidly. It seems that many things I don't know have happened these days!"
Lu Man looked at Yan Qingshan with a hint of surprise. Seeing the harmonious relationship between him and the little Amethyst Winged Lion and the group of high-level magical beasts next to them, a cautious look flashed in her eyes.
"Did you bring the things I asked for?"
Yan Qingshan had no intention of talking nonsense with her and went straight to the point. Lu Man was not as easy to fool as Bai Ya. Talking to her would only make him more tired and gain nothing else.
It was Lu Man who wanted to stay and look after them. There was no chance for Yan Qingshan to use her as a tool. However, Yan Qingshan had planned it from the beginning.
Lu Man and Bai Ya were just one person and one magical beast. Lu Man would definitely go to find someone to refine pills. Therefore, Yan Qingshan was relieved to use the tool snake Bai Ya to find the Amethyst Winged Lion King and operate for a while, achieving his goal.
"You're really direct and straightforward. Are you so eager to sell your little maid?"
Lu Man didn't forget to provoke him when she gave him the things. Unfortunately, these little tricks wouldn't work. In fact, she knew it, but she just wanted to disgust Yan Qingshan.
Thinking that she, a dignified Dou Empey expert, was actually running errands for others, she felt very unhappy.
"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have had the idea of letting Qing Ling go. Make it clear, it's you who want to take Qing Ling away from me."
Yan Qingshan glanced at Lu Man coldly and said, "If you think this is not good, you can try to kidnap Qing Ling again and see if you have a chance this time!"
While speaking, Yan Qingshan took the little lion king back, leaning against the direction of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Qing Ling and the others had already entered the group of high-level magical beasts with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.
"Kid, you want to go back on your word!"
Lu Man's face suddenly turned gloomy. If the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Yan Qingshan's group were added, it would be a sixth-rank, four fifth-rank, and many fourth-rank magical beasts. Although Lu Man and her partner could both fight sixth-rank magical beasts, fighting two against a group made her feel unsure.
Yan Qingshan said indifferently, "You're joking. You were the ones who forced us from the beginning. Besides, I only said we could talk at the time. How can you say I'm going back on my word?"
"Don't force me!"
Lu Man's body was surrounded by lake-green Dou Qi. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees showed a trace of green light and grew extremely fast.
"Heh, angry? So you, a Dou Emperor, can also get angry. Did you ever think how angry I was when you came to force and kidnap people?"
Yan Qingshan sneered and looked at Lu Man coldly. "If I hadn't reacted in time, Qing Ling would have been kidnapped by you. And I, a small Dou Master, even with the help of the fifth-rank Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent, it's still a question whether I could catch up with you."
"You... that matter was indeed my oversight. I apologize to you!"
Lu Man clenched her fists, and blue veins appeared on her smooth back. But she finally chose to apologize to Yan Qingshan because Yan Qingshan now had the qualification to talk to her.
When she first discovered the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, Lu Man naturally thought of the easiest way to kidnap people directly.
As for the opinions of Yan Qingshan and others, would anyone care about the opinions of ants? As a Dou Emperor expert, her breath could probably take Yan Qingshan's life.
However, she didn't expect that Qing Ling had a fifth-rank magical beast guard by her side. Coupled with Yan Qingshan's decisiveness and ruthlessness in letting Qing Ling destroy her eyes, she didn't dare to act rashly without full confidence. She could only agree to Yan Qingshan's conditions first.
But now, Yan Qingshan gave her another "surprise." With the sixth-rank Amethyst Winged Lion King as a backer and so many high-level magical beasts, it was really a force that made her hesitate. Only at this time did she take Yan Qingshan seriously.
Yan Qingshan looked at Lu Man and said in a deep voice, "Qing Ling's Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils can get better cultivation in the Heavenly Snake Mansion. But I know nothing about the Heavenly Snake Mansion. How can you guarantee that Qing Ling won't be wronged there?"
Lu Man felt relieved. It was good that things could be negotiated. She really didn't want to fight this group of magical beasts head-on and take risks. She hurriedly said,
"You don't have to worry about this. We in the Heavenly Snake Mansion have had ancestral instructions for a long time. Those who have natural Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils are the next generation saint or saintess of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. You don't have to worry about her being wronged at all.
Some special secret techniques in the Heavenly Snake Mansion are only effective for those who have natural Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils. You don't have to worry about anyone having the idea of stealing her eyes.
The current mansion master of our Heavenly Snake Mansion is a Dou Venerate expert who is famous in the Northwest. I have already sent out the news of this little girl. The mansion master said he would take her as his personal disciple, the saintess of the Heavenly Snake Mansion."
Lu Man didn't forget to point out that she had already sent out the news when explaining. Dou Venerate powerhouse can break through the space to create wormholes. With the speed of the Heavenly Snake Mansion Venerable, Yan Qingshan and others couldn't escape at all.
"I also know that the internal strife in such a big force as the Heavenly Snake Mansion is serious. Qing Ling will inevitably be involved in some bad things when she enters it. She, a little girl, is afraid that she can't cope. Therefore... I want you to arrange for Bai Ya to be her guardian."
Lu Man listened to Yan Qingshan's words quietly. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. If Yan Qingshan asked her to take care of Qing Ling, then she and the forces behind her could justifiably become the representative of the new saintess's forces in the Heavenly Snake Mansion.
But she didn't expect Yan Qingshan to say this in the end. Was she, the snake master Lu Man, inferior to a chattering magical beast?
Yan Qingshan certainly knew what Lu Man was thinking. This was a decision he made after careful consideration after getting information from Bai Ya.
Qing Ling could just focus on cultivation when she entered the Heavenly Snake Mansion. It would never be good to get involved in internal power struggles. Choosing Bai Ya as a representative was much better than Lu Man.
Among the magical beast forces represented by Bai Ya, many are snake-type magical beasts above the fifth rank. Yan Qingshan, through big data observation and analysis, taught Qing Ling a lot of knowledge about snake-type magical beasts. With her Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, she could easily get along with the magical beasts.
