Rencarnation Room {Other Story line}

The Lion King cub awoke, its eyes blazing with vigilance as it immediately caught sight of El. The Magic Beast growled lowly, baring its fangs angrily.

El stared back undaunted. The six tomoe on his Rinnegan rotated slowly, emitting a faint purple glow.

Instantly, it occurred to him to trap the creature in Genjutsu, solving the problem without the need for a fight.

However, the presence of Yao Chen and Xiao Yan made him think again.

With their sensitivity, especially Yao Chen, it was too risky to use this ability now. It was not yet time for El to show all his strength.

Before he could think of another plan, the Lion King cub leapt at him with its sharp claws ready to rip.

El clucked his tongue. "Take a nap," he said casually.

Without giving it a chance, he delivered a powerful blow to the creature's head. With a violent impact, the Lion King's Son was slammed hard into the cave wall, making the surrounding crystals tremble from the impact.

When the dust settled, the Lion King's son was lying on the ground. Unconscious.

El turned to Xiao Yan with a relaxed expression. "Xiao Yan, hurry up and find that Purple Crystal. And at the same time, I want Accopanying Purple Essence. Please provide a few jars of medicine, the more the better."

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, then nodded. "Alright. I will prepare it."

After which, he raised his right hand, revealing a detection crystal which slowly began to shine brighter, indicating that the Purple Crystal was near.

Meanwhile, El walked towards one of the towering purple crystal pillars, with crystal fragments scattered all around.

El took out White Fire, a white-colored sword derived from Sky Pearl Poison. However, as soon as she grasped it, El sighed softly.

"This sword is not a good mining tool," he muttered, realizing the inefficiency of his weapon to break crystals.

He turned his head toward Xiao Yan, who was not far away. His gaze immediately caught the figure of Xiao Yan who had managed to find the Purple Crystal that Yun Yun wanted.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, then raised his face, staring at the other object directly above him, the Accopanying Purple Essence, an even more rare and precious treasure.

Before Xiao Yan prepared to jump to smash the shell of the Accopanying Purple Essence, El's voice stopped him.

"Xiao Yan, lend me the big black on your back," El said casually.

Xiao Yan turned his head with raised eyebrows. "Huh? What for, don't you already have the little white one in your hand?"

El sighed, looking at Xiao Yan with a resigned expression. "Xiao Yan, please do not say anything that sounds ambiguous!"

Xiao Yan grinned. "You yourself started referring to my Heavy Xuan Ruler as 'big black'," he said in a joking tone.

El closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again and nodding slowly. "Alright, I admit, it was my fault." He sighed once more, this time with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan chuckled before asking, "Then, what exactly did you borrow my sword for?"

El raised his sword, White Fire, then sighed. "It's a good sword for fighting, but not suitable for mining."

Immediately, El pointed at the pile of Purple Crystals around him. "These crystals should increase the effectiveness of cultivation by at least 1 to 1.5 times."

Xiao Yan's eyes lit up slightly. "Woah, quite a valuable treasure. I think, one piece can reach 200 gold."

He thought for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, give me a few pieces later," he said before throwing his greatsword at El.

El caught the sword easily, despite its large size and heavy weight.

Even an ordinary Da Dou Shi would have a hard time lifting it without using Dou Qi.

However, to El, a peak Beyonder with a physical-focused Authority Level 5, such a heavy object was nothing.

El swung the Heavy Xuan Ruler with precision, smashing the Purple Crystal Stone into tiny fragments.

Without wasting any time, El immediately used Vacuum Hand, a technique she had learned from watching Xiao Yan, to suck all the fragments of the Purple Crystal Stone into the Sky Pearl Poison.

Not forgetting, El also set aside a portion for Xiao Yan and put it into the Space Storage Ring that he had.

This ring was the result of looting from the Wolfhead Mercenary, so El still had about three empty storage rings in his pocket.

On the other side of the cave, Xiao Yan had struck the shell of the Accopanying Purple Essence with all his might.

Cracks began to appear on its surface, and from the small cracks that opened up, a dense purple liquid began to slowly drip out.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan deftly took out a medicine jar and collected every drop that fell, ensuring that none of it was wasted.

Xiao Yan filled the jars one by one until they were full, a look of satisfaction on his face.

While remaining focused on his work, Xiao Yan spoke, "You know, Ji Lan, your demeanor now feels more relaxed. It is easier to talk to than before."

El, who was mining the Purple Crystal Stone, immediately got goosebumps hearing that.

El turned his head at a glance with a disturbed expression. "Xiao Yan. Ji told you not to say such ambiguous-sounding things! Ji got goosebumps hearing it!"

In a half annoyed tone, El added, "Ji is a real man! Ji is only interested in women!"

Xiao Yan immediately frowned and replied in an annoyed tone. "Damn it, that's not what I meant! I am also a real man! My heart is only for Xun'er!"

Suddenly, the sound of a lion's roar echoed within the cave, making the crystal walls tremble. El and Xiao Yan exchanged glances, both realizing the situation had begun to get dangerous.

On the other hand, through the vision of the Chimera Dog that he had left outside, El could see that Yun Yun was beginning to be overwhelmed by the Purple Crystal Lion King's attack.

Even worse, the Lion King seemed to realize that something was wrong in the cave.

"Xiao Yan," El said in a stern tone.

Xiao Yan nodded without hesitation, immediately storing all the medicinal jars in the Space Storage Ring. However, there were four jars that had not been stored, so he threw them at El.

In return, El threw the Heavy Xuan Ruler back at Xiao Yan, returning the greatsword to its owner.

El caught the four jars of medicine easily, immediately storing them in Sky Pearl Poison, while Xiao Yan caught the sword with one hand, directly placing it on his back.

They were about to leave, but suddenly Xiao Yan's eyes fell on a single droplet of Accopanying Purple Essence remaining on the Purple Crystal Stone.

Without thinking, Xiao Yan bent down and gulped down the purple liquid in one gulp.

Yao Chen was late in saying, "Xiao Yan, your body will not be able to withstand the Accopanying Flame Essence if you swallow it like that!"

At the same time, El was about to open his mouth, wanting to warn, but before he could speak... the liquid had already disappeared in Xiao Yan's throat.

El's eyes narrowed slightly, then finally let out a long sigh. "Huh... fate is indeed hard to change," he muttered. "After all, I am not my Master who can see fate..."

Xiao Yan turned his head, frowning. "Did you say something just now?"

El only smiled faintly. "It is nothing. Let's go before that Crystal Lion King gets in here."
