On the peak of the Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain, mist and clouds swirled, resembling a fairyland.
On a protruding black rock at the edge of the cliff, Nalan Yanran, dressed in a moon-white robe, was closing her eyes to Cultivate while feeling the mountain evening breeze.
When the clouds were light and the wind gentle, Nalan Yanran stopped her Cultivation, gazed at the vast and majestic Magical Beast Mountain Range far beyond the Cloud Mist Sect's back mountain, and let her thoughts drift.
Seven days ago, Nalan Su ascended the Cloud Mist Sect and reprimanded her, informing her that Xiao Yan had become a Five-Star Dou Practitioner within a year and a half, and that Xiao Zhan of the Xiao Family had achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Ling, instructing her to go to the Xiao Family and apologize.
Stubbornly, she didn't believe she had done anything wrong. Moreover, when the engagement was broken off, she had compensated everything she should have. She had even had a huge falling out with her Family over it. If she went back now to apologize, wouldn't Nalan Yanran lose Face? Wouldn't the Cloud Mist Sect lose Face? Wouldn't Yun Yun lose Face?
"There is still over a year left until the Three-Year Agreement. I am currently a One-Star Dou Master. By the time of the Three-Year Agreement, I might have already become a Great Dou Master."
"I Cultivate the Cloud Mist Sect's Superior Cultivation Technique, learn the Dou Technique that only the Sect Master is qualified to study, and have a Sixth-Rank Alchemist refining Medicinal Pills for me."
"Xiao Yan, what do you have to compete with me!"
Clearly, Nalan Yanran was also shocked by Xiao Yan's Cultivation speed, going from nothing to a Five-Star Dou Practitioner in just a year and a half.
At this moment, she kept comforting herself, hoping to stop thinking about those vexing matters.
"Swoosh!"
Just then, a cyan figure flew quickly across the sky. Nalan Yanran looked up, immediately delighted, and quickly got up from the boulder and waved: "Teacher!!!"
From far away, Yun Yun, whose mind was still focused on Chen Yang, suddenly saw her Disciple. Thinking of Xiao Yan's cultivation level in the Magical Beast Mountain Range at the moment, Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh. With a flutter of her Dou Qi Wings, she drifted down in front of Nalan Yanran.
"Teacher!"
"Why did you take so long to return? Did you encounter any danger?"
Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun, who had retracted her Dou Qi Wings, and asked with some concern.
"No..."
"The Amethyst Winged Lion King was quite difficult to handle. Fortunately, I met someone, which allowed me to successfully obtain this purple spirit crystal."
Yun Yun reached out and touched Nalan Yanran's Face, speaking with a gentle smile.
"It's good that Teacher is fine."
"But the person who could help Teacher should at least be a Dou Wang expert, right?"
Nalan Yanran breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and asked curiously.
"You will know later..."
Yun Yun looked at Nalan Yanran. She wanted to tell her Xiao Yan's current true strength, but she was afraid that Nalan Yanran would be disheartened and lose her Dao Heart upon hearing it.
She was even more afraid that Nalan Yanran might make some drastic move because of Xiao Yan's current strength, so she said: "Yanran, you don't need to be too diligent in your practice; occasionally relaxing is also beneficial."
Nalan Yanran shook her head immediately upon hearing this: "Teacher, you don't know, a few days ago Father came up the mountain and told me that Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family had quietly become a Five-Star Dou Practitioner! If I slack off with such speed in a year and a half, I'm afraid I will lose Face for Teacher during the Three-Year Agreement!"
Seeing Nalan Yanran's stubborn look, Yun Yun couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it. Make your own decisions regarding your matters. Even if you lose the Three-Year Agreement, don't let it ruin your Cultivation resolve."
Because of Chen Yang's interference and Xiao Yan's open-mindedness, this time the two did not have any agreement about becoming a slave or maid, and she had also received the marriage contract.
This Three-Year Agreement was actually a battle for Xiao Yan to reclaim his Face. If Xiao Yan won, or if Nalan Yanran won with difficulty, Nalan Yanran would merely lose some Face, proving she had misjudged the person and lacked discernment.
Only if Nalan Yanran won beautifully, crushing Xiao Yan in a rout, could it prove that what Nalan Yanran did back then was correct.
However, due to fate, the Xiao Yan who ascends the Cloud Mist Sect this time will probably no longer be a mere One-Star Great Dou Master.
Nalan Yanran didn't notice Yun Yun's strangeness. At this moment, she was looking forward to the purple spirit crystal Yun Yun brought back helping her accelerate her Cultivation speed... Magical Beast Mountain Range!
Amethyst Winged Lion King Immortal Cave.
After Yun Yun left, Chen Yang came all the way here and found the Amethyst Winged Lion King, whose injuries had healed.
"Master!"
Seeing Chen Yang arrive, the Amethyst Winged Lion King respectfully whispered.
"I heard that when your Amethyst Winged Lion King race gives birth to a cub, there is a chance it will produce accompanying purple crystal source, is that true?" Chen Yang looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King dared not lie, but it was also fighting for its child's future. "When I gave birth, I did produce some accompanying purple crystal source, but Master may not know, this accompanying purple crystal source relates to my child's future. If it consumes it while a Fourth-Tier Magical Beast, it can directly ascend to Fifth-Tier..."
Chen Yang did not stop the Amethyst Winged Lion King from speaking. The reason this great lion submitted to him was half due to its child.
"I must indeed take that accompanying purple crystal source!"
"However, are you sure you want to give up a Seventh-Rank Alchemist and choose that purple crystal source?"
Chen Yang put his hands behind his back and said to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Seventh... Seventh-Rank Alchemist?"
"Master, are you a Seventh-Rank Alchemist?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King was extremely shocked.
"I bear the Family Legacy, and I will definitely become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist within two years!"
Chen Yang said.
"Since that is the case, Master, please take this accompanying purple crystal source!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not doubt Chen Yang's honesty in the slightest.
It possessed intelligence no less than that of a human.
Chen Yang could have directly seized it, but he was currently discussing it with the beast.
This Master gave it the most basic respect and did not treat it as a mere beast. If its child could receive help from a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, its future might surpass its own. Most parents hope their children will be more outstanding than themselves.
After taking the accompanying purple crystal source, Chen Yang looked at the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King, then compiled a list, asking the Amethyst Winged Lion King to search for the relevant medicinal herbs.
"Your luck is quite good. I happen to have a Medicinal Pill formula for a fourth-grade pill refined using accompanying purple crystal source. If you can gather the necessary Medicinal Pills, I guarantee that your child will steadily advance to a Fourth-Tier Magical Beast within a month, and it only requires three drops of accompanying purple crystal source!" Chen Yang said with a smile, looking at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was overjoyed and immediately went out to instruct its subordinates to search for the relevant medicinal herbs.
Seeing this, Chen Yang took a small bottle of accompanying purple crystal source and found Xiao Yan.
At this moment, Xiao Yan was Cultivating in a mountain valley. The xuan heavy ruler was swung with powerful force, indicating he had been deeply focused on Ruler Technique for a long time.
"Brother Yang!"
Seeing Chen Yang descend from the sky, Xiao Yan smiled, wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the huge ruler behind his back, and called out to Chen Yang.
"Not bad, a Seven-Star Dou Shi. Is the goal your Teacher set for you to Break through to Great Dou Master before leaving the Magical Beast Mountain Range?" Chen Yang retracted his Dou Qi Wings, glanced around the valley, and praised Xiao Yan with a smile.
"Hehe, I luckily achieved a Breakthrough while performing Alchemy yesterday!" Xiao Yan still felt fortunate. "The Cultivation plan set by Teacher is indeed like that. My daily practice is very fulfilling now."
Chen Yang smiled noncommittally. The Medicinal Pills worth over a million gold coins he sold to Xiao Yan would at most support him in Breaking through to Great Dou Master, so it was normal for Elder Yao to set relevant plans for him.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang waved his hand and pulled out the accompanying purple crystal source: "I obtained a bit of accompanying purple crystal source from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. This item should be of great help to your Cultivation."
Saying this, Chen Yang threw it to Xiao Yan: "After refining this bottle of purple crystal source, you might have the chance to refine the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Flame. This will be greatly beneficial whether for fighting enemies or for Alchemy in the future."
Xiao Yan looked at the jade bottle in his hand with surprise, thanking Chen Yang while secretly asking Elder Yao in his heart.
After receiving Elder Yao's affirmative reply, Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang with even greater gratitude.
"Don't rush to thank me. This bottle of purple crystal source is three million gold coins, or something of equal value!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and chuckled.
"Three million???"
Xiao Yan was instantly dumbfounded.
He had only managed to acquire a little over a hundred thousand gold coins from that mysterious Immortal Cave a few days ago. It seemed this three million would have to rely on Teacher.
At this moment, Elder Yao also looked miserable. After checking his inventory, he finally took out a scroll containing a sixth-grade pill formula.
Just as Chen Yang received the pill formula, the System mechanism successfully triggered. The bottle of accompanying purple crystal source in Xiao Yan's hand allowed Chen Yang to obtain a barrel of accompanying purple crystal source produced by a Seventh-Rank Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Xiao Yan might have made a small profit, but Chen Yang would never lose...
