Ning Bei bid farewell to the grandfather and grandson and returned directly to the sect.
After releasing the small purple snake, he looked at it.
Its small eyes were slightly puzzled, not knowing where this was.
After looking around for a moment, it noticed Ning Bei in front of it, and immediately coiled its body into a ball and shrank back, seemingly wary of Ning Bei.
Ning Bei didn't mind and placed the Pill Tower directly in front of the little thing.
The little thing's eyes never left the Pill Tower again.
A few seconds later, it wrapped its body around the tower, its tongue constantly flicking, making "hissing" sounds.
Ning Bei nodded in satisfaction. Facing Soul Beasts, his Pill Tower had never been defeated.
"How about you live in here from now on?"
Soul Beasts nurtured by the fragrance of pills seemed to have higher intelligence than those of the same period. Or perhaps Medusas were inherently highly intelligent Soul Beasts. After Ning Bei finished speaking, the little snake hurriedly nodded, afraid that he would go back on his word.
Just like that, Ning Bei's Pill Tower had another tenant.
Thinking of that graceful figure in the neighboring continent, Ning Bei felt a little anticipation in his heart. When the Medusa reached ten thousand years of cultivation and he gave her a Transformation Pill, wouldn't he have another queen?
Half a year later, the giant egg that had been nurtured in Ning Bei's Pill Tower for a long time finally showed signs of movement.
Ning Bei couldn't help but feel a little excited. He slightly sensed the egg's cultivation and discovered that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation, which was originally negative, had grown to zero.
This also meant that the little lion was about to hatch.
He took it out of the Pill Tower and placed it on the ground. Ning Bei looked expectantly at the egg that had begun to shake slightly, soon he would be able to give A Bao and the others a double experience card.
As time passed, the egg shook more and more violently. The first crack quietly appeared on the eggshell, followed by the second and third. Before long, the eggshell was covered in cracks.
Some of the broken places had begun to move up and down, indicating that the little thing was not far from hatching.
After a while, a "crack" sound came, a piece of broken shell fell to the ground, and an eye peeked out from the eggshell, its gaze full of ignorance, curiously staring at Ning Bei in front of it.
Ning Bei poked the remaining eggshell: "Little thing, don't be dazed, come out quickly."
Seemingly understanding Ning Bei's words, the eye closed slightly, and the eggshell began to shake violently.
A few seconds later, a small beast that looked like a lion but had dragon claws, its whole body golden, and a third vertical eye on its forehead appeared in front of Ning Bei.
The little beast saw him, stuck out its tongue like a puppy, and then its four small feet fluttered and came to Ning Bei's side, rubbing its little face against his leg.
Seeing this, Ning Bei happily picked up the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. At birth, it was only the size of a small puppy.
"Whoa, this little thing is quite hot."
Each of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's four claws had a wisp of golden flame. Ning Bei understood that it was the Ultimate Fire, but the little thing had just been born and was not strong yet, so those flames only made Ning Bei feel warm.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was not afraid of being picked up by Ning Bei, and licked his face with its tongue, making Ning Bei giggle.
After a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook its slender tail and struggled slightly, seemingly wanting Ning Bei to put it down.
Ning Bei put it on the ground in confusion.
"Little thing, what do you want to do?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion grunted, then turned and walked towards its egg, opening its mouth to swallow the entire eggshell into its stomach, licking its lips with satisfaction after finishing.
"Good heavens, does even an Emperor Auspicious Beast eat its own eggshell?"
That wasn't the end of it. The aura on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instantly rose a notch after eating the eggshell. Ning Bei estimated that in just this short while, it had gained nearly a hundred years of cultivation, and couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.
After the little guy finished eating, it ran to Ning Bei's legs and rubbed against them, using a front paw to rub its belly and opening its mouth, its big eyes watery as it looked at him.
"This is, not full?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded, then continued to look at its poop-shoveling officer with a look of longing.
"Alright, you're quite the little foodie, but my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is all about being rich, so eat as much as you want."
Before long, Ning Bei instructed Xiao Tao to prepare some high-quality Soul Beast meat and bring it to the room.
The little guy drooled as it looked at the delicacies in front of it, and without waiting for Ning Bei to tell it to, it started eating, sticking its entire head into the plate.
Looking at the ravenous Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Ning Bei smiled with satisfaction, feeling like the director of the Panzhihua Zoo.
Without disturbing the little guy's meal, Ning Bei summoned Da Ming and Er Ming from the sixth floor of the Pill Tower.
The two looked at him with puzzled expressions.
"Brother Ning Bei, what's the matter?"
Ning Bei, hearing Da Ming's question, gestured with his mouth towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion who was currently eating.
"Feel the aura of this little guy."
"Hmm?"
The puzzlement on Da Ming and Er Ming's faces didn't diminish in the slightest. What could such a small thing have that was worth the two Soul Beast overlords feeling?
Da Ming closed his eyes and slightly sensed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aura, then immediately opened his eyes, looking at Ning Bei with a shocked expression.
"This, this... this is such a strong power of destiny! It's as if it was born to be the king of Soul Beasts, and it seems to be of great benefit to us."
Er Ming also opened his eyes at this time, his shock no less than Da Ming's.
"You're right, this is the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, born to be the king of Soul Beasts, which can speed up the cultivation speed of Soul Beasts by one time, and greatly increase the success rate of Soul Beasts passing through the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Really?"
"Is it true? Brother Ning Bei."
Ning Bei nodded, confirming the guesses in the brothers' hearts.
"You'll know when you two try it out later. I'll put it on the sixth floor later, and you can take care of it for me."
The two beasts nodded their heads. Indeed, as Ning Bei said, they would know everything once they tried it.
After sending Da Ming and Er Ming back to the Pill Tower, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's meal was coming to an end.
While eating, the little guy raised its buttocks to the sky, and its tail kept wagging, showing that it was in a good mood.
After eating, the little guy lay down with its four feet facing the sky, still hiccuping.
Ning Bei stepped forward and poked the little guy's round belly, causing it to shrink back, seemingly a little ticklish.
"If you can't finish it, just leave it. Why stuff it all in? You'll become the first Emperor Auspicious Beast to die of overeating. See if you won't lose face for the beasts."
Ning Bei didn't plan to change the little one's name either, just call her Qiu Er. As for the surname, forget it; if she were to have one, it would be Ning, after him.
After Qiu Er was full, she played with Ning Bei for a while, then started yawning. Before long, she was lying on the ground, snoring away.
Ning Bei picked up the tiny little thing, looking at her speechlessly.
"Sleep after eating, you should be a Three-Eyed Golden Pig."
The little one seemed to sense Ning Bei's disparaging words, kicking her hind legs in his arms, then fell still again.
