"Thank you for rescuing me just now..."
A sincere word of thanks came from Yun Yun's lips.
However, Yun Yun remained curious about how a young man like Gu Fei could venture alone into the dangerous depths of the World of Warcraft Mountains.
At this time, Gu Fei concealed his aura and did not reveal his strength. If Yun Yun knew about this, she would probably be shocked.
Yun Yun looked Gu Fei up and down, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
[Yun Yun is feeling doubtful, emotion value 100]
"Strange, what is his cultivation level? Why can't I sense it at all?"
Yun Yun furrowed her brow, guessing that the seal might have impaired her ability to perceive.
"Are you a pharmacist?" Yun Yun asked, having noticed that he used healing pills to recover from injuries.
"Um..." Gu Fei nodded in acknowledgment.
Yun Yun became instantly interested. A young alchemist like him surely had a bright future!
"Little guy, you saved me. I can introduce you to a master alchemist in the future. It will be of great help to you..."
Yun Yun thought of Dan King Gu He, with whom she had a good relationship. Given the favor she received from Gu Fei today, introducing him to Dan King Gu He seemed like a fitting repayment.
Dan King Gu He was a sixth-rank alchemist, one of the best in the Gama Empire.
"No need!" Gu Fei smiled and shook his head.
Yun Yun knew only the sixth-rank alchemist, Dan King Gu He. Gu Fei, being a seventh-grade alchemist, didn't need Gu He's guidance.
Seeing Gu Fei's refusal, Yun Yun did not press further and changed the subject. "By the way, I forgot to ask your name..."
"Gu Fei..."
Yun Yun was taken aback. She hadn't expected the boy to share the same surname as Dan King Gu He!
"Gu?"
She speculated that Gu Fei might be related to Gu He, as both were alchemists.
"What is your relationship with Dan King Gu He?"
Yun Yun asked out of curiosity.
"We have no relation..." Gu Fei replied calmly.
"Okay, seems I was overthinking it!" Yun Yun smiled awkwardly.
"I heard from a distance that you came here for the Lion King's Purple Spirit Crystal. I assume you want to use it to refine some kind of elixir..."
Gu Fei asked.
"Yes, but the Lion King refused to trade it, so I had to take it by force. Unfortunately, I was injured by the Lion King's sealing technique in the process."
Yun Yun nodded, feeling some residual pain. Gu Fei, familiar with the original story, knew that the Purple Spirit Crystal was used to refine Purple Crystal Pills, which improved the cultivation level of a Great Fighting Master.
"Am I right in guessing that you're refining a Purple Crystal Pill?" Gu Fei asked.
"Yes..." Yun Yun was shocked that Gu Fei knew so much.
[Yun Yun is shocked, emotion value 100]
She was indeed planning to refine the Purple Spirit Pill for her disciple, Nalan Yanran.
"You are so young. What brings you to the depths of the Monster Mountain Range?" Yun Yun asked, unable to contain her curiosity.
Gu Fei didn't keep her in suspense and revealed his purpose. "Actually, I came here to subdue the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King as my mount. The Purple Spirit Crystal is crucial for the Lion King lineage. If he refuses to trade, taking it by force is unwise. Moreover, with your strength, you couldn't defeat the Lion King..."
Yun Yun was stunned. "This young man actually wants to tame the Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount? Did I hear that correctly?"
[Yun Yun is shocked, emotion value 100]
She hid her shock well, but Gu Fei easily noticed it through the system prompts.
He smiled faintly. "Haha, it's just a level six magical beast. There's nothing to be surprised about."
Gu Fei was not surprised by Yun Yun's reaction, responding with a faint smile.
At this time, Gu Fei habitually restrained his aura. Having been too lazy to avoid the Amethyst Winged Lion King's pursuit, he had not revealed his cultivation aura. Yun Yun thought he was bragging.
Why does this young man speak so arrogantly?
Gu Fei, however, was uninterested in further explanations and walked slowly out of the cave.
Seeing Gu Fei leave, Yun Yun, whose injuries had improved slightly due to the healing pills, followed him.
Outside the cave, chaos reigned, and monster roars filled the air. The Amethyst Winged Lion King, enraged by the loss of its horn, could not find Yun Yun and roared across most of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Many low-level monsters, frightened by the roar, trembled and sought to hide, but were forced by the lion king to search for Yun Yun.
In the original novel, after Xiao Yan rescued Yun Yun, he could not block out her aura due to his limited strength, and they had to use powder to cover the scent.
Gu Fei, however, could directly block the leakage of Yun Yun's aura with his strength.
Yet, he did not help conceal her aura when they emerged. Thus, a large number of magical beasts soon tracked Yun Yun's scent.
Yun Yun realized the danger and her expression changed. "Oh no, these monsters are the Lion King's subordinates. They detected my scent. I'm afraid I might bring trouble to you... I'm really sorry."
[Yun Yun feels guilty, emotion value 100]
In her opinion, Gu Fei seemed weak. Although she was a Dou Huang, she was not fully recovered and might not be able to protect him.
Despite her doubts, Yun Yun watched as Gu Fei soared into the air without any support.
Unlike Yun Yun, who relied on her fighting spirit wings, Gu Fei hovered effortlessly with a calm expression.
Yun Yun was stunned.
[Yun Yun is shocked, emotion value 100]
"Is he, Dou Zong?"
The incredible realization struck Yun Yun, and her calm demeanor showed rare surprise.
How could a boy who appeared only sixteen or seventeen possess such strength?
Even Yun Yun, considered an extraordinary talent in the Jia Ma Empire, was astonished by Gu Fei's immense power.
