Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

Not long after, they finally arrived at the mouth of the cave, the Purple Crystal Lion King's lair. In front of them, several Magic Beasts were standing guard, appearing vigilant despite not yet being aware of their presence.

Without hesitation, El and Xiao Yan immediately moved, but more cautiously this time.

They slipped between the shadows of the rocks, holding their breath whenever the guards approached, making sure there was no sound that could attract attention.

Moreover, El also avoided using Shinra Tensei, as Xiao Yan was nearby, which could have been affected and it was not yet the time for him to use all his abilities.

On the other hand, Xiao Yan was thinking of playing smart. Otherwise, the Purple Crystal Lion King would realize that something was wrong and the mission could end in disaster.

Upon entering the mouth of the cave, Xiao Yan and El were immediately greeted by a blast of hot air, as if they had just stepped into a giant furnace.

The walls of the cave were filled with glowing red cracks, revealing the magma flowing deep within. The heat grew more intense as they walked deeper, making sweat begin to soak their bodies.

However, the two remained focused on the main goal.

As Xiao Yan proceeded further, he took out a green glowing crystal from within his ring. This was not just any crystal, it was a signaling device for the whereabouts of the Purple Crystal.

The closer they got to the crystal, the brighter the green glow it emitted.

On the other side, El received a system notification. With a flat expression, he kept running while reading the contents of the notification, as if he was used to this kind of interruption.

Further exploring the deepest part of the cave, El and Xiao Yan were greeted by an extraordinary sight.

Purple crystals clung to the walls of the cave, emitting a soft glow that illuminated the darkness with a mysterious sparkle.

Some are stalactites, dangling from the ceiling like frozen droplets, while others grow from the ground like glowing pillars.

Golden-purple light bounced off the surface of the magma that flowed slowly in the crevices of the rocky floor, creating an exotic picture of the underground world.

The air felt thick with Dou Qi energy, as if this place had been absorbing the power of nature for centuries.

Every step they took echoed, a subtle reverberating sound down the narrow passages.

The smell of sulfur mixed with the heat made their breathing a little heavy, but the beauty of this place was still breathtaking, as if it transported them to another world.

However, these crystals were not the Purple Crystals Yun Yun was looking for. Instead, they were rare stones created from the Purple Crystal Lion King's Dou Qi energy, which had cultivated over a very long time.

Although not major treasures, these crystals still held tremendous value in Dou Qi practice.

Each piece can be sold for 200 Gold, making it a source of wealth that cannot be ignored.

Still, the true treasure was hidden deeper, waiting to be discovered.

Before them lay the deepest chamber of the cave, where the Purple Crystal Yun Yun desired was located.

However, before they could move any further, the two immediately hid behind the rocky wall, their eyes fixed on the figure guarding the room.

A young Purple Crystal Lion was asleep in the center of the room, its body slightly smaller compared to the Purple Crystal Lion King that was fighting outside.

Despite his youth, his aura still felt menacing, showing that he was not an opponent to be underestimated.

"Ugh, there is one more..." Xiao Yan complained while sighing.

At the same time, Yao Chen's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's mind, his tone full of wisdom and calmness. "Do not be afraid. That is the Purple Crystal Lion King's child. Only a Rank 3 Magic Beast."

Xiao Yan was about to respond in his mind, but Yao Chen continued in a serious tone. "However, forget about that matter for now. Xiao Yan, take a good look behind him. That is the Accompanying Purple Essence."

While Yao Chen explained about the Accompanying Purple Essence to Xiao Yan, El tried to recall the information she knew about the rare object.

The Amethyst Winged Lion was a Magic Beast that possessed extraordinary natural talent. Without such talent, it would be difficult for it to reach the sixth level.

However, in very rare cases, when a Purple Crystal Lion gives birth, it may give birth to a rare essence along with its cub, the Accompanying Purple Essence, also known as the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence.

As this Birth Essence had been in its mother's womb for many years, it had absorbed a large amount of pure Dou Qi energy.

To an Amethyst Winged Lion cub, this Birth Essence is a priceless treasure.

If he swallowed it after reaching the fourth level, then his evolutionary process would be much faster, even jumping straight to the fifth level without any significant obstacles.

Other than that, the other effects were also very significant:

Amethyst-Winged Lions who ingested this Birth Essence would possess much stronger and purer purple flames compared to those who did not possess it.

As this Birth Essence has been in its parent's body for a long time, it also naturally absorbs the purple flames, making it an extremely powerful source of energy for the Magic Beast.

In other words, this Birth Essence was the key for the young Amethyst Winged Lion to achieve even greater power in the future.

Other than swallowing it whole, the only other way was to forcefully destroy this Amethyst Lion Birth Essence and take the Amethyst Essence within.

However, for some reason, it was difficult to destroy it with external force. That meant the other shell of this thing had some sort of swallowing ability.

Any attack would be swallowed by it.

Just relying on brute force would not be able to open this thing. There was only one thing that could reach it.

That was the Purple Spirit Crystal.

After hearing Yao Chen's explanation of the Accompanying Purple Essence, Xiao Yan squinted, trying to see more clearly in the intended direction.

Behind the young Purple Crystal Lion, there was a natural structure in the shape of a square table about one meter high, formed from a pile of Amethyst stones that shone dimly in the center of the cave.

On top of it, there was a purple-colored crystal ball the size of Xiao Yan's head.

Upon staring at it for a while longer, Xiao Yan began to feel something strange. He soon realized that the heat that filled this cave did not come from the magma underground, but rather came from this object.

His eyes widened in shock. He had not expected that this crystal ball contained such great energy, even more powerful than he had imagined.

"Xiao Yan, it seems that a crystal ball the size of your head is very precious," El said, patting Xiao Yan's shoulder while pretending not to understand much about it.

"Yes," Xiao Yan nodded slowly. "Its name, if I am not mistaken, is Accompanying Purple Essence. I read about it in a book once."

El only smiled faintly. He knew Xiao Yan was lying, this information clearly came from Yao Chen, not from any book.

"Other than the Purple Crystal that Dajie wanted, this thing is also a very precious treasure," Xiao Yan continued, trying to be convincing.

However, his expression immediately turned serious. "But, the Lion King's son is a Rank 3 Magic Beast. If I fight him, I could die. We must find another way!"

While grinning, Xiao Yan took out something from his pouch. "My plan is to use the Purple Smoke Fruit that I have mixed with a laxative."

El chuckled softly. "It seems like the heat in this cave is dehydrating my friend, lowering his concentration and focus."

Xiao Yan turned his head, beginning to understand the meaning of El's words, and smiled faintly as well.

El then stepped forward, approaching the Purple Crystal Lion King Child casually. "Only Da Dou Shi? That is not a problem for Ji," he said in a calm tone.
