Traveling through Uncle Xiao Yan, I got the Erlang Shen template

Chapter 106 Purple Spirit Crystal

With a flap of his wings, Xiao Yan transformed into a streak of light, darting through the dense forest. In the blink of an eye, the enormous cave entrance came into view.

However, what Xiao Yan found very strange was that there wasn't a single magical beast guarding the area around this huge cave.

"Teacher, something feels off!"

Looking at the deep, enormous cave, Xiao Yan felt a little uneasy. This Purple Crystal Winged Lion King was, after all, a king of magical beasts. Would he not send his subordinates to guard the gate for him?

"What are you thinking, kid? With the strength of that Amethyst Winged Lion King, does it need other magical beasts to guard the gate? Who would dare to venture into its cave? Stop dawdling. If you don't go in now, and Queen Medusa and the Amethyst Winged Lion King finish their fight, I won't be able to protect you and get you out of here safely."

Yao Lao urged him on, and under Yao Lao's urging, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated and openly flew into the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Once inside the cave, the view wasn't as deep as it appeared from the outside. The surrounding walls were inlaid with special purple crystals that emitted a faint glow, illuminating the cave with a dreamlike beauty.

However, Xiao Yan had no time to pay attention to these purple crystals, which were quite valuable in the human world. Compared to the accompanying purple crystal source, these were not even scraps.

Because of the presence of the amethyst winged lion cub, Xiao Yan walked very carefully. Even though the cave seemed to be empty, Xiao Yan did not act recklessly.

Along the way, apart from Xiao Yan's light footsteps, there was no other sound. This silence made Xiao Yan feel uneasy.

Soon, Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his whole body tensed up instantly as he warily stared at the cub lying on the ground sleeping peacefully not far in front of him.

Calling it a cub isn't entirely accurate, because this amethyst winged lion, while much smaller than the ferocious amethyst winged lion king outside, is still nearly ten feet tall.

Moreover, to Xiao Yan's surprise, the scales on the amethyst winged lion in front of him were not purple crystals, but rather shimmered with a purple-gold light, and the single horn on its head was a dazzling golden-red, like a mutated sun.

What made Xiao Yan's legs tremble even more was that the aura emanating from the somewhat unique amethyst winged lion in front of him had actually reached the level of a fourth-tier magical beast, equivalent to a human Dou Ling level expert.

Behind the amethyst winged lion are two forks in the road; whichever way you want to enter, you must pass the little amethyst winged lion.

"Gudong, teacher, what do we do now?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan realized that it was no wonder there were no magical beasts guarding the cave. The cubs inside were already fourth-tier magical beasts, so why would they need other weak magical beasts to guard the gate?
"What's the panic? This amethyst winged lion seems to have obtained some incredible opportunity. Although it has already reached the fourth rank, its bloodline should still be advancing, which is why it has fallen into a deep sleep. Be careful, kid, don't disturb it."

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately tensed up, because the young beast that had been sleeping in front of him actually moved.

However, to Xiao Yan's relief, the little amethyst winged lion merely wriggled its body and blocked the passage on the left.

Xiao Yan had no choice but to carefully observe the little amethyst winged lion, while lightly walking slowly towards the right passage.

Only after entering the right passage and no longer seeing the little amethyst winged lion did Xiao Yan breathe a slight sigh of relief and quickly head deeper into the cave.

After Xiao Yan's figure disappeared, the little purple crystal winged lion, which had been lying on the ground, suddenly opened its tightly closed eyes, and a trace of crimson-gold flame flashed in its eye sockets.

The next moment, the little amethyst winged lion swayed its body and walked towards the cave entrance. It made its way to the end of the right passage without any problems. After walking for a short while, Xiao Yan's vision opened up again, and what came into view was a cave that was almost entirely filled with amethyst stones.

However, the interior of this huge cave was completely empty, which made Xiao Yan feel disappointed.

"Teacher, could it be that the Amethyst Winged Lion King didn't leave its associated Amethyst Source in the cave?"

"What do you know, kid? The symbiotic amethyst source has been gestating in the Lion King's body for an extremely long time. It not only contains extremely pure energy, but also has some of the characteristics of the amethyst winged lion king. When the baby amethyst winged lion is born, this symbiotic amethyst source leaves the Lion King's body together. After it falls, its exterior will quickly crystallize and merge with the mountain rocks."

Yao Lao spoke leisurely, but Xiao Yan looked anxious. The fourth-tier amethyst winged lion outside was putting immense pressure on Xiao Yan.

"Teacher, if you're going to give me extra lessons, you can do it slowly when we get home. I'll definitely study hard. Can you please stop keeping me in suspense now?"

Xiao Yan was almost in tears. In his heart, he was gambling with his life. If the little purple crystal winged lion found out, the purple crystal winged lion king outside would probably block the door.

"Since the associated amethyst source isn't here, it must be in another passage."

The old doctor rolled his eyes, but didn't keep the little guy in suspense any longer, otherwise, the little guy would have gotten flustered.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately turned around, intending to head directly to another passage, but was stopped by Yao Lao.

"What's your rush, kid? Even if you find the accompanying amethyst source, does that mean you can open it?"

"This associated amethyst source, you can either learn from the Amethyst Winged Lion King and swallow it whole, or find the key to open it, or you can ask your uncle to dig the associated amethyst source directly out of the mountain and take it away, and then try to force it open."

As soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, Xiao Yan immediately responded.

"Teacher, what is that key?"

"The purple spirit crystal shed from the body of the Amethyst Winged Lion King is of the same origin as the external crystal of the Amethyst Source. So what you need to do now is to find the purple spirit crystal in the cave where the Amethyst Winged Lion King is resting as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan immediately stopped wasting words and began searching inside the cave.

Perhaps it was the immense pressure from the two amethyst winged lion kings, one large and one small, outside that made Xiao Yan's mind race. After a quick search, he realized that this was too slow.

The next moment, Xiao Yan activated the Flame God Technique within his body, and instantly, the scene inside the entire cave changed drastically in Xiao Yan's sight.

Inside the pale red cave, something so red it was almost purplish stood out conspicuously.

The powerful fire-attribute energy within the Purple Spirit Crystal had nowhere to hide under the influence of the Flame God Technique.
