After triggering the System mechanism, Chen Yang was happy, but also somewhat puzzled.
This thing had clearly been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a long time. Why did it only trigger when it reached Xiao Yan's hands? Having this doubt, Chen Yang immediately asked the System.
The System replied—the accompanying purple crystal source in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's possession was essentially its household food storage. But once in Xiao Yan's hands, it became Xiao Yan's equipment. Food cannot trigger mechanisms, but equipment can!
Seeing the System's explanation, Chen Yang roughly understood. The blood lotus essence from last time was probably the same case. Sitting in a shop, it was just merchandise; in Xiao Yan's hands, it became equipment.
To be precise, even if it didn't reach Xiao Yan, reaching anyone else's hands would also make it equipment.
As for the purple spirit crystal not triggering the System mechanism when it reached Yun Yun, that was because Yun Yun was not a native of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. In other words, within the entire Magical Beast Mountain Range, items would only trigger the mechanism when they reached Xiao Yan's hands. Otherwise, Chen Yang would have to take the items outside, and even then, Xiao Yan would need to 'light up the map' first.
'Sounds a bit troublesome, but it's still manageable!'
Chen Yang chuckled, then gave Xiao Yan a few more instructions.
'Your Physical Body is now formidable. Before reaching the Dou Ling level, you don't need to worry that rapid power increases will affect your foundation. After using this Purple Crystal Source, have your teacher help you consolidate. You might even Breakthrough to Great Dou Master in one go!'
Chen Yang said, looking at Xiao Yan.
'Brother Yang, Xiao Yan, thank you!'
Xiao Yan tightly gripped the jade vial containing the accompanying purple crystal source, gently tilted his head back, used his fire-attribute Dou Qi to evaporate the moisture gathering in his eyes, then bowed deeply.
'Speaking of thanks, I actually have something I'd like to ask your teacher!'
Chen Yang suddenly thought of Xiao Yi Xian, who was still in Qingshan Town, and looked at Xiao Yan with a serious expression.
'Teacher...'
Hearing this, Xiao Yan called out to Venerable Yao in his mind. Venerable Yao indicated it wasn't convenient for him to appear at that moment and asked Xiao Yan to answer on his behalf.
'Brother Yang, please go ahead!'
Chen Yang nodded, took out his small stool, and sat down opposite Xiao Yan. 'Ask your teacher if he knows any information about the Netherworld Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the strange fire ranking list.'
'A Strange Fire???'
Xiao Yan was immediately shocked upon hearing this. Strange Fires were what he needed most right now, but he never expected Chen Yang was also inquiring about Strange Fire information?
'That Netherworld Poison Flame is an extremely poisonous fire. Even a Dou Zong expert would be poisoned to death upon contact without protection. What does this kid want with that thing?' Venerable Yao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.
'Teacher, do you actually have information about this Netherworld Poison Flame?' Xiao Yan, hearing Venerable Yao's tone, hurriedly asked in his mind.
'During my travels across the continent searching for Strange Fires in the past, I once heard information about this Netherworld Poison Flame. Rumor has it, it once appeared in the hands of a possessor of the Calamity Poison Body. I once fought against a Calamity Poison Body possessor, and she also seemed to be searching for that Netherworld Poison Flame, apparently to solve the issue of controlling the Calamity Poison Body...' Venerable Yao started rambling off-topic.
'Teacher, just tell me, do you know where that Netherworld Poison Flame is?' Xiao Yan was speechless. Having an elder was indeed like having a treasure, but if that elder was a chatterbox, it could get a bit annoying.
'Ahem... Don't interrupt... I only know some rumors, the information isn't exact. But you also need Strange Fires. Do you intend to give this information to that kid Chen Yang?' Venerable Yao asked, puzzled.
'Brother Yang has shown me great kindness. Not only does he just need information about the Netherworld Poison Flame, even if I had already devoured it, if Brother Yang needed it, I would give it to him!' Xiao Yan said with unwavering determination.
