Jiang Cheng was also quite interested in this book, *The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture*. He was getting tired of reading other books, so changing things up was quite nice.
The sun set, and the distant mountains were like dark eyebrows.
Jiang Cheng sat in a bamboo pavilion by the Huai River, enjoying the interesting stories the book presented. In his previous life, he didn't actually like reading, but after coming to this world and awakening the Confucian Sage System, he gradually developed an interest.
"A gentle breeze and a bright moon, a chance encounter, hehe, interesting."
Two small boats were moored on the lakeside, gently rocking in the shimmering orange waves.
Under the refraction of the moonlight, a bright moon suddenly appeared.
Little Fairy Doctor had already returned to her room to rest, leaving only the Amethyst Winged Lion King and his son, who were lying on the ground eating the third-tier magical beast they had just caught. Even so, they were magical beasts, and they still had a great interest in blood food.
The Dou Qi here is several times stronger than outside, making cultivation twice as efficient. In just a few days, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King broke through to the four-star Dou Huang realm. At this rate, breaking through to the Dou Zong realm is only a matter of time.
Jiang Cheng shrugged, put down the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile, "Sect Master Yun, you've finally come."
A flash of light, and Yun Yun, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect, suddenly appeared.
Beautiful scenery paired with a beautiful woman.
It's breathtaking.
Yun Yun took a deep breath. Clearly, she had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. As Yanran's teacher, she had sacrificed so much so that Yanran could successfully win in three years.
Now that she had finally found a way to improve Yanran's strength, Yun Yun naturally didn't want to miss it. If Yanran failed because of this, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.
Yun Yun carefully took off the pendant from her neck and, with a reluctant gaze, slowly handed it to Jiang Cheng.
"Sir, this is the pendant you requested... Where's the Purple Spirit Crystal?"
Jiang Cheng took the pendant, still retaining a trace of Yun Yun's warmth and a faint fragrance; even without getting close, one could smell its youthful scent.
"Yes, it's what I wanted."
Jiang Cheng nodded, and with a flick of his right hand, a Purple Spirit Crystal appeared in his palm.
"Sect Leader Yun, this is the Purple Spirit Crystal of the Purple Winged Lion King. Please take it."
Yun Yun readily accepted the Purple Spirit Crystal, and after confirming its authenticity, she bowed respectfully. Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Cheng stopped her.
"Hmm?" Yun Yun asked, puzzled, "Sir, is there anything else?"
Jiang Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the shimmering lake, and smiled:
"The scenery tonight is breathtaking. Wouldn't it be a waste not to enjoy a cup of fine wine?"
"But... I can't drink; I get drunk easily..."
"It's alright, just drink in moderation."
Jiang Cheng never offered to drink with others, and it would be a real pity not to enjoy such a beautiful scene. He casually took out two special porcelain cups, placed them on the stone table, then brought out a pot of wine, filled it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Yun Yun stared at the clear peach blossom wine in her cup, hesitant. But seeing Mr. Jiang Cheng drink cup after cup, wouldn't it be disrespectful if she didn't drink? However,
after drinking it, she felt an unbearable heat throughout her body, her face flushed, and she gripped the purple spirit crystal tightly. A strange power surged through her limbs, a feeling akin to engaging in sexual activity, making her moan softly with pleasure.
Yun Yun shyly covered her mouth and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to circulate her internal fighting spirit.
Jiang Cheng smiled calmly, "Hehe, I forgot to tell you, the peach blossom wine contains my fighting spirit. With your Dou Huang cultivation, you should have benefited greatly."
Peach blossoms fell in the wind, and a single sword stroke leveled Qingyun Mountain!
Half an hour later, Yun Yun slightly raised her eyebrows, exhaling a breath of pinkish-brown air from her cherry lips. Her cultivation had broken through to the four-star Dou Huang realm.
Looking at her hands, Yun Yun was deeply moved. She hadn't expected that just one cup of wine would cause her cultivation, which had stagnated for months, to break through…
" Unbelievable
!"
Jiang Cheng said, one hand behind his back. "I, Jiang Cheng, have only a handful of true friends in my life. Today, you are here to drink and sing with me, so you can be considered one of my friends. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to me, and I will certainly not refuse."
"Thank you, sir."
Yun Yun bowed, having developed a peculiar opinion of the person before her.
Why would such a powerful figure appear in the Monster Beast Mountain Range? Could it be that something is amiss?
"No need to be so polite."
[Random mission begins. Head to the Xiao family in Wutan City to obtain the key to open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave. Time limit: three days. Reward: ten experience points.]
Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Cheng's mind. Hearing the system's notification, Jiang Cheng became interested. He hadn't expected that this time he would be heading to the protagonist Xiao Yan's family.
He knew that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was the key to opening the secret realm of a Dou Di expert. If he obtained it, the time to break through to Dou Di would be shortened considerably.
Jiang Cheng naturally accepted anything that could improve his strength.
"Sect Master Yun."
"Ah?" Yun Yun, realizing what was happening, replied hastily, "What is it?" "
I will be going to the Xiao family in Wutan City another day. I wonder if you have time to come with me?"
"The Xiao family in Wutan City?"
Yun Yun murmured. Wasn't that the family that Nalan Yanran had broken off her engagement with? She asked curiously, "Why are you going to Wutan City?"
"For something."
"Something?"
"Yes, you'll know when we get there."
Jiang Cheng shrugged. He didn't care about the life or death of the Xiao family, but the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade couldn't fall into the hands of others, otherwise it would be a troublesome matter in the future.
Yun Yun nodded in agreement. Anyway, Wutan City was very close to the Yunlan Sect, and she could return to the Yunlan Sect after the matter was settled.
The two drank wine under the moon, talked about life, and were extremely happy.
They didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, the rooster crowed.
Jiang Cheng squatted on the ground, stretched out his hands, scooped up the cool lake water, and after quickly washing his face, he prepared to take Yun Yun to the Xiao family in Wutan City.
Because it was daytime, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King was too large, plus Little Fairy Doctor was still at home and needed protection, so he was asked to stay and take care of the little Amethyst Winged Lion King and Little Fairy Doctor.
Because she had been drinking, Yun Yun's cheeks were exceptionally fair and delicate, with a faint blush on her skin. Clearly, yesterday was the first time she had drunk so freely and happily.
"Sect Leader Yun, let's set off."
Yun Yun nodded and said, "Sir, please still call me by my name from now on. It always feels a little strange coming from you, Sect Leader Yun."
"Then I'll call you Miss?"
Yun Yun's pretty face flushed slightly. She had never used this form of address before, and hearing it from Mr. Jiang Cheng's mouth gave it a unique feeling.
