When they arrived over the Magical Beasts Mountain Range, Xiao Yan asked, "Lion King, are you really not going to bring your son?"
When he was cultivating with Xun'er in the Magical Beasts Mountain Range, he had gone to see the Amethyst Winged Lion King once during his free time a few days ago...
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Yan." The Amethyst Winged Lion King glanced at the lush forest below and gritted its teeth. "There's no need. Only by going through a period of tempering can it truly become the king of the Amethyst Winged Lions."
"Moreover, there are not many powerful Magical Beasts in the Magical Beasts Mountain Range now. Having obtained the companion Amethyst Source specially refined by Young Master Yan, its aptitude is already much stronger than mine. If it still can't grow up like this, then it is not worthy of being the son of I, Zi Yan," the Amethyst Winged Lion King said resolutely.
Every parent has their own philosophy of education, and beasts are no exception. Xiao Yan did not say anything more.
After flying for a while longer, Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bo Dong, who was following a certain distance away from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. "Elder Hai, you don't need to follow me all the time on this trip to the Tagore Desert."
Hai Bo Dong turned his head slightly and smiled, "The seal on my body was able to be解除, and I have gained so much more strength, all thanks to you, little brother. As long as you have an order, I, Hai Bo Dong, will never refuse."
"It's nothing difficult," Xiao Yan waved his hand slightly. "I have two older brothers who established a mercenary group in the nearby Stone Desert City. I hope that Elder Hai can live there and protect their safety."
"Okay," Hai Bo Dong agreed without any hesitation.
Without Xiao Yan saying anything more, he could also understand.
The Xiao family and the Cloud Sect had a conflict. With Xiao Yan's mother in charge of the Xiao family, there would naturally be no problem.
If the Cloud Sect found out about Xiao Yan's brothers being outside, they would probably take some action...
What Hai Bo Dong was thinking was exactly what Xiao Yan was worried about.
Although his two brothers had always been very low-key and had not revealed their identities, the Cloud Sect had been established for many years. If they were to investigate with intent, they would naturally find some clues.
Xiao Yan did not think that the Cloud Sect's reach could not extend to a border area like the Tagore Desert.
The Jia Ma Empire had places similar to airports. By riding flying Magical Beasts, it would only take a few days to get from the imperial capital to the border area.
In a world with such strong power, distance within an empire was not a big problem.
Xiao Yan lowered his head, reached out and rubbed Qing Lin's little head, and said gently, "Qing Lin, when we get there, you'll also stay in Stone Desert City."
This little girl had grown so fast recently that she was almost up to his chest.
"Young Master Xiao Yan..." Qing Lin's jade-green eyes looked at Xiao Yan with reluctance. "Qing Lin can't bear to leave you."
"I have to go deeper into the Tagore Desert. That environment is not suitable for a little girl like you to follow me," Xiao Yan did not plan to keep the girl by his side all the time.
With the existence of the Magical Beast Storage Ring, if he encountered the Two-headed Flame Serpent, he could just put it in there.
There was absolutely no need to take Qing Lin down to the underground and experiment with the power of her Bi-serpent Three Flower Pupils on the spot.
"When you get there, you must also cultivate well," Xiao Yan said with a smile, looking at the three dots that were gradually becoming clearer in Qing Lin's eyes.
Although a hint of disappointment flashed in Qing Lin's jade-green eyes, she still nodded hard, "Young Master, I will cultivate hard and strive to become a maid who can always be by your side one day."
"There will be that day," Xiao Yan said with a smile, his words obscure.
The Bi-serpent Three Flower Pupils, the bane of snake-type Magical Beasts, can forcibly control them.
When the Bi-serpent Three Flower Pupils mature, a space can be formed within the eyes, and the controlled things can be stored within it.
As the strength increases, the limit of the space will expand, and the strength of the creatures taken into the space will be slowly absorbed and fed back to the wielder of the Bi-serpent Three Flower Pupils.
There were three powerful snake-type Magical Beasts near the Tagore Desert: the Two-headed Flame Serpent, the fifth-tier Magical Beast raised by Medusa, and the Eight-winged Black Serpent Emperor under the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
If Qing Lin could activate all the abilities of the Bi-serpent Three Flower Pupils and absorb the strength of these Magical Beasts, her growth speed would definitely reach a terrifying level.
Looking at the obedient Qing Lin, who was so attached to Xiao Yan, Hai Bo Dong turned his head to look into the distance. Including this one, he could no longer count them with one hand.
However, Xiao Yan was indeed very good. His aptitude and appearance were rare in his lifetime, especially his aptitude.
With the Amethyst Winged Lion King flying at full speed, a journey that would take an ordinary flying beast in the Jia Ma Empire several days to complete took Xiao Yan and his group only half a day to reach the location of Stone Desert City.
Eager to find the Green Lotus Core Flame, Xiao Yan did not stay long. He dropped off Qing Lin, gave her some instructions, and then left for the interior of the Tagore Desert.
With the yellow sand stretching as far as the eye can see, two figures were vaguely visible.
Stepping on this desert again, Hai Bo Dong felt a lot of emotion.
He thought back to how spirited he was as a Dou Huang rank expert back then. He did not expect that after being hit by Queen Medusa's Serpent Seal, so many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
However, all of that was in the past because of the young man beside him.
Hai Bo Dong sighed, "Among the three places where I discovered a Heavenly Flame might exist, this place should have the highest possibility."
"I didn't expect it to be near Stone Desert City. When I help you find the Heavenly Flame, I will go back."
Although Hai Bo Dong did not look into it in detail and just passed by in a hurry, looking at the establishment of the mercenary headquarters, Xiao Yan's two brothers were also quite capable and were vaguely the strongest existences in the city.
Xiao Yan knew that the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame was indeed near Stone Desert City, but he wasn't sure how far away it was.
Moreover, in addition to the location, he would need to go deep underground, a process that would require a lot of effort.
Therefore, Xiao Yan was studying a matter related to using a combined Dou Technique with Yun Yun.
This was something he had been thinking hard about recently and had already put in some effort. Only the last part was missing...
The sword-type Dou Technique that Yun Yun had mastered was the "Poet Immortal's Sword Sequence." Xiao Yan naturally thought of Li Bai, who was proficient in both poetry and sword. When he created Yun Yun's sword moves, he had also recalled some of Li Bai's poems.
Now that he wanted to create a complementary Dou Technique, Xiao Yan once again thought of him, and it was an even more famous one, "A Knight-errant."
The novel "A Knight-errant" with the same name as the poem also left a deep impression on him and felt quite peculiar.
[You deduce based on the Poet Immortal's Sword Sequence Dou Technique. You have a sudden realization and comprehend the Vertical and Horizontal Art.]
[Vertical and Horizontal Art: A blade-type Dou Technique that can unleash greater power when paired with the Poet Immortal's Sword Sequence.]
[Moves: Zhao's guest with a dangling tassel, Wu's hook bright like the frosty moon, a silver saddle gleaming on a white horse, dashing like a shooting star, kills one person in ten steps, travels a thousand miles without stopping.]
[Combined Move: Poet Immortal's Vertical and Horizontal.]
Just as Xiao Yan had his sudden realization and stopped in his tracks, Hai Bo Dong also stopped.
"This aura is... Queen Medusa!"
