"System, open the Faith Store!"
Ao Yuan murmured softly, his eyes lowered.
As soon as he spoke, a golden light flashed before Ao Yuan's eyes.
A phantom screen appeared before him.
The screen displayed a dazzling array of items.
Transformation Pill: Enables any demon beast of any tier to transform and conceal its demonic aura.
Divine Bloodline Pill: Contains the bloodline of a certain divine beast. When used on any demon beast, it will match the most compatible divine beast bloodline.
Bloodthirsty Blade: Divine-grade weapon, capable of destroying all beings with a single strike!
However, without exception, these items were all astonishingly expensive!
After a brief glance, Ao Yuan immediately withdrew his gaze. Although he could afford these items with his current faith points, he felt it was completely unnecessary.
The cost-effectiveness was too low, far too low.
Moreover, purchasing these items would instantly deplete his stored faith points.
This made Ao Yuan very reluctant, very reluctant indeed.
Looking further down.
The required points were much simpler.
And many items seemed much more practical to Ao Yuan.
Grand Compendium of Formations: Covers the arrangement of all formations, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. (Note: Without profound insight, one cannot arrange powerful formations.)
Price: One hundred million faith points.
Profound Cultivation Techniques of the Demon Race: The ultimate learning of the demon race, cultivable by any demon beast.
Price: Two hundred million faith points.
Attribute Gift Pack: (Opening this gift pack will randomly increase one's attributes.)
...
Ao Yuan's gaze lingered on the items in the second row of the faith store.
His eyes showed a hint of eagerness.
Although these items were not cheap, he could afford several of them with his current faith points.
And these items were very, very practical for him.
At the very least, with these items, Ao Yuan was confident that the strength of his subordinate demon beasts would be elevated by a level.
"Should I buy them or not?"
He scanned back and forth between the few items he favored, Ao Yuan hesitated.
After all, if he bought all of them, his painstakingly saved faith points would be significantly reduced.
To say he wouldn't feel the pinch would be a lie.
But soon, Ao Yuan's resolve hardened.
Buy!
"System, I want to purchase the Profound Cultivation Techniques, the Grand Compendium of Formations, and the Spirit Calming Pill!"
[Ding, the host has consumed 500 million faith points and successfully purchased the items!]
The system's mechanical voice sounded in Ao Yuan's mind.
As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light suddenly appeared before Ao Yuan.
When the light dissipated, two books exuding an ancient aura and a pill emitting a faint fragrance appeared out of thin air.
"Profound Cultivation Techniques of the Demon Race, Grand Compendium of Formations!"
Ao Yuan picked up the two books, quickly flipped through a few pages, and then put them away. His gaze then fell on the pill.
Spirit Calming Pill!
As the name suggests, it enhances the mental strength of humans or demon beasts.
This was not very useful for Ao Yuan.
As for the Spirit Calming Pill, Ao Yuan intended to give it to his subordinate demon beasts.
And he already had a suitable candidate in mind.
Thinking of this, Ao Yuan suddenly waved his hand. Space distorted, and a figure appeared before him out of nowhere.
"This... where is this?"
The figure was stunned and first looked around.
Upon seeing Ao Yuan, she trembled and immediately knelt down, her voice shaking, "Dragon God Lord, I... I don't know... how I appeared... here."
"If... if I have disturbed you... please forgive me."
After speaking, Bai Ling trembled, lowering her head, not daring to look at Ao Yuan.
Honestly, she was completely bewildered.
She was clearly still diligently receiving the various Demon Kings who came to Mount Taibai, but in the blink of an eye, she had inexplicably appeared in the Dragon Palace.
And she had coincidentally appeared right in front of Ao Yuan.
If there was one person Bai Ling least wanted to see, it was definitely Ao Yuan.
Firstly, because of Ao Yuan's power, and secondly, because of some things she had done.
Although Ao Yuan hadn't said anything, she couldn't help but feel flustered.
"Look up," Ao Yuan said lightly.
"Dragon... Dragon God Lord." Bai Ling hesitated for a moment before stiffly raising her head and meeting Ao Yuan's indifferent eyes.
Her heart fluttered again, unable to calm down.
"I didn't deliberately use... use your name to brag or deceive, really... those Demon Kings are all very temperamental, if I don't suppress them."
"They..." At this point, Bai Ling paused, unsure of what to say.
Fortunately, she quickly spun her eyes and said, "They would definitely cause trouble on Mount Taibai."
Ao Yuan smiled, saying nothing.
This made Bai Ling even more panicked.
"Dragon... Dragon God Lord, I... I am telling the truth."
"With me here, would they dare to make a fuss?" Ao Yuan's lips curved into a faint smile, and he said calmly.
Bai Ling's body stiffened. She naturally knew this.
It was precisely because of this that she had used Ao Yuan's reputation.
Otherwise, what would be the point of using Ao Yuan's reputation?
Thinking of this, and recalling Ao Yuan's words, Bai Ling's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
No matter how she looked at it, Ao Yuan seemed to be here with ill intentions this time.
She was truly afraid that Ao Yuan would dislike her for using his name and would punish her for it.
"Dragon... Dragon God Lord, this is my fault, my fault."
"Please don't punish me... please forgive me this time!"
At this thought, Bai Ling quickly kowtowed to Ao Yuan, begging for mercy.
"Who said I was going to punish you?"
Hearing Ao Yuan's words, Bai Ling's body stiffened.
She stared blankly at Ao Yuan, somewhat at a loss.
Since Ao Yuan wasn't going to punish her, then her earlier...
Thinking of her earlier plea for mercy, Bai Ling felt an urge to find a piece of tofu and smash herself to death.
She was so embarrassed.
"Then... Dragon God Lord, you... you summoned me here because..." As if thinking of something, Bai Ling asked tentatively.
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Ling suddenly saw a tattered book and a fragrant pill appear in front of her eyes.
The fragrance was intensely pleasant; with just a gentle sniff, Bai Ling felt a bit lightheaded.
"Dragon God Lord, what is this?"
Seemingly sensing that Ao Yuan would not harm her, Bai Ling's nervousness eased considerably, and she asked curiously.
As she spoke, she looked at the pill and then at the old book beside it.
"Grand Compendium of Formations?"
Bai Ling looked up at Ao Yuan again, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
Ao Yuan offered no further explanation, merely saying, "Eat it."
"I..."
Bai Ling hesitated, clearly contemplating whether or not to eat it.
Although she knew Ao Yuan wouldn't harm her, her imagination ran wild.
However, upon meeting Ao Yuan's gaze, her hesitation vanished instantly.
She opened her mouth and swallowed it in one go.
"Strange!"
As she swallowed, Bai Ling seemed to feel something.
A sense of comfort spread across her face.
