And just like that, Xiaolan became a member of the courtyard.
Normally, while Su Yun was training in the courtyard, Xiao Yixian would fly around with Xiaolan in the sky.
However, the beast and the human wouldn't fly too far, after all, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was nearby.
There were other flying Magical Beasts in the sky, and if they encountered a flying Magical Beast of Level 2 or above, there was no escape.
Because of this, Xiao Yixian was even scolded by Su Yun.
A month later, Su Yun was at the Mitel Auction House.
Yafei pulled a magic core from her ring.
"Master Han, this is what you want. A Level 2 Blue Eagle Magic Core. Level 3 ones are simply out of stock,"
Yafei said respectfully to Su Yun.
Su Yun nodded and stored the magic core in his system space.
Magical Beasts like the Blue Eagle typically only reach Level 2 upon reaching adulthood. Reaching Level 3 requires exceptional talent.
Reaching Level 4 is even more difficult, requiring a bloodline mutation or the consumption of rare treasures. Otherwise, it's simply impossible.
During this time, he had only managed to obtain a few first-tier Blue Eagle Magic Cores through the help of the Xiao family, the Jialie family, the Mitel Auction House, and Luo Qianchen.
After all, this required a specific magical beast, and the timeframe was only a month.
A first-tier magical beast wasn't guaranteed to produce a magic core, and the Blue Eagle was a flying beast, making it difficult to kill.
Su Yun produced a card, paid Ya Fei his reward, and left the Mitel Auction House.
Ya Fei watched Su Yun's retreating figure, her beautiful brows furrowed into a deep frown.
During this time, she had established a firm foothold in Wutan City through her extraordinary skill.
She had observed the situation in Wutan City closely, and it was clear to her that Han Li was the city's most powerful local tyrant.
He had strong connections with every force in the city that mattered, and those without connections had already been annihilated.
Han Li was not only powerful but also ruthless. With two fourth-grade elixirs, he mobilized the Xiao and Jialie families to exterminate the Oba family.
Elder Kuang Tang was a seasoned veteran, a shrewd man, yet even after two years of unsuccessful attempts to win him over,
she had been brimming with confidence before arriving in Wutan City. But now, even she had to admit that Han Li was a formidable opponent.
However, giving up on her was impossible. A fourth-grade alchemist was immensely valuable,
especially one capable of refining peak-grade fourth-grade elixirs.
Given more time to grow... a
fifth-grade alchemist, that would put her on par with a Dou Huang.
A flicker of envy crossed Ya Fei's face. If she could achieve that level, she might be able to control her own destiny.
Although she was a direct descendant of the Mitel family, large families could be ruthless. For a
woman like her, lacking any talent for cultivation and possessing stunning beauty, the most likely outcome was an arranged marriage...
Ya Fei's expression was filled with reluctance, a flicker of struggle evident in her face.
If she had a fifth-grade alchemist standing behind her, even a powerful clan like the Mitel family wouldn't dare to touch her.
Control her own destiny...
A flicker of determination crossed Ya Fei's mind.
Su Yun returned home and stood before Xiao Lan.
He often had to explore the system's functions on his own.
Scanning and recycling were easy enough
, but fusion was a different matter. This thing had a lot of room for maneuver, and correspondingly, it took considerable time to master it.
When he first met Xiao Lan, he'd wondered if he could fuse the magic core with her.
He'd tried many times this month, and unsurprisingly, every attempt had failed.

But he didn't give up. As time went on, he came up with a feasible plan.
Using the magic core of the same magical beast as Xiaolan, the Blue Eagle, might be possible.
Some time ago, he had obtained several first-level Blue Eagle magic cores, but he failed again.
But that failure was different.
With previous failures, the system always displayed, "Ding, solution detected as unfeasible, fusion failed."
But with the Blue Eagle magic core, it was different. "Ding, fusion solution detected.
Three first-level Blue Eagle magic cores, one second-level Blue Eagle magic core, and a first-level Blue Eagle.
Can be fused into a second-level Blue Eagle, consuming one second-level magic core."
Su Yun stroked Xiaolan's azure feathers.
If Xiaolan could reach the second-level strength, he would feel more at ease.
He was now not far from Dou Ling. After the breakthrough, he would set out to the Tagor Desert to obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. He
would definitely not bring Xiao Yixian with him then. The Tagor Desert was no match for Wutan City.
Mercenaries were gathered there, snakemen were lurking, and there were many powerful Douling and Douwang masters. He couldn't guarantee Xiao Yixian's safety.
Therefore, it would be best to leave her in Wutan City.
Thinking of Xiao Yixian, Su Yun couldn't help but recall her happy, silly smile every time he returned home.
This silly girl.
A trace of worry crossed Su Yun's face. The Evil Poison Body...
He hadn't yet decided when to let Xiao Yixian activate it.
He already had a plan for the three strange fires, but the other ingredients were still unavailable.
Su Yun let out a long sigh, clasped his hands, and didn't dwell on it any further.
Instead of worrying all day, he should fill his schedule and strive for growth.
"System, fuse three first-level Blue Eagle Magic Cores, one second-level Blue Eagle Magic Core, and Xiaolan."
"Ding, a fusion solution detected. One second-level magic core is required. Do you want to fuse?"
"Fuse!"
With Su Yun's command, three first-level Blue Eagle Magic Cores, one second-level Blue Eagle Magic Core, and one second-level magic core quietly vanished from the system space.
A strange energy merged with Xiao Lan's body, causing her form to undergo visible changes.
Xiao Lan's entire body stretched out, her azure feathers becoming more lustrous, and her talons lengthened and sharpened.
Feeling the transformation, Xiao Lan let out a long, high-pitched cry, a voice filled with soul-stirring power, and her eagle eyes grew even sharper.
Su Yun reached out again to stroke Xiao Lan's feathers. Xiao Lan lowered her head and nuzzled Su Yun's cheek,
chirping softly twice in his ear.
Although a second-level magical beast wasn't particularly intelligent, Xiao Lan had a vague feeling that her transformation was due to Su Yun.
"Ah, how did Xiao Lan become like this?"
Xiao Yixian, who had been staying in her room, heard the noises from the courtyard and came out, asking in surprise and astonishment.
Xiao Yixian, her skirt lifted, trotted over to Su Yun.
"Brother, did you do this?"
Xiao Yixian's face was filled with admiration. In her eyes, her brother Su Yun was omnipotent, capable of anything.
Su Yun pinched Xiao Yixian's cheek with his fingers. It was very soft and elastic, exuding the unique body fragrance of a young girl.
Su Yun smiled, not admitting it, but not denying it either.
