In the void, Yao Lao extended a soul force over Ye Chen, swiftly carrying him forward.
Ye Chen urged Yao Lao to go all out, and after half a day, they finally arrived at Qingshan Town in the afternoon.
On a small road outside Qingshan Town, Yao Lao put Ye Chen down and then entered the Soul Control Banner himself.
"Master, I just checked the area. There's no trace of Sect Leader Yun nearby. She probably hasn't arrived yet."
Fearing that Yun Yun might have already come, Ye Chen immediately asked Yao Lao to investigate. Receiving confirmation, he finally relaxed.
Refining the Purple Crystal Pill required other rare herbs.
Yun Yun was likely out gathering them and would only come to the Beast Mountain Range to seek the Purple Crystal Winged Lion after that.
Moreover, Yun Yun wasn't reckless; she wouldn't risk coming here to snatch the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion until absolutely necessary.
After all, it was a sixth-tier magical beast.
"Keep an eye on the surroundings. If the teacher appears, notify me immediately," Ye Chen instructed Yao Lao.
"Yes, Master," Yao Lao replied respectfully.
Then, Ye Chen proceeded along the small road toward Qingshan Town.
Qingshan Town was the closest town to the Beast Mountain Range and was also known as the Beast Town due to its proximity.
Once inside, the majority of people were mercenaries, constantly seeking danger.
They moved in groups, chatting loudly on the streets about which women were attractive, which alcohol was strongest, and which beasts were the fiercest…
Walking along the cobblestone streets, Ye Chen, dressed in a refined blue robe, stood out among the rough mercenaries, drawing many curious glances.
After all, few noble youths wandered into this mercenary town.
Ye Chen ignored the stares and calmly moved deeper into Qingshan Town.
Along the street were many shops, bustling due to the town's location.
His gaze lingered on a spacious herbal medicine shop. After a moment of thought, he entered "Wan Yao Zhai," remembering that Little Medic Fairy worked there.
Ye Chen had long admired the beautiful young woman, gifted yet burdened with the Poisoned Destiny Body, and now, since he was in town, he intended to make his move.
If he could win her heart, it would be even better.
Inside the well-lit shop, moonstone lamps illuminated everything like daylight.
The shop was busy, and no one immediately greeted Ye Chen.
Helpless, he stopped a passing male clerk and asked, "Hello, is Little Medic Fairy here?"
The clerk glanced at him. Seeing his elegant attire, he assumed Ye Chen was a suitor.
Little Medic Fairy was the idol of mercenaries in Qingshan Town, and many noble youths had come to court her over the years, all rejected.
Annoyed by outsiders attempting to take their goddess, the clerk impatiently said she wasn't in and went back to work.
Ye Chen was puzzled. He was just asking a question; why the impatience?
Reluctantly, he used his abilities to gather information.
Little Medic Fairy had gone into the mountains with a herb-gathering group and wouldn't return for three days.
"Fine, let's first head deep into the Beast Mountain Range."
Since she was in the mountains, there was no rush. Patience was necessary.
In the original story, Little Medic Fairy was suspicious by nature; rushing to her would make gaining her trust difficult.
Ye Chen never intended to use force. He wasn't a pervert.
Though not a saint, he wasn't cruel either. His harsh actions toward Yao Ye and Xiao Xun'er were merely in retaliation for their provocations.
Was that too much? Not at all.
But Little Medic Fairy was different: pure, uninvolved in any faction, and possessed the Poisoned Destiny Body with great potential.
Gaining her not only offered companionship but also a powerful ally.
"Yao Lao, let's find the Purple Crystal Winged Lion first."
At the entrance of the Beast Mountain Range, Ye Chen summoned Yao Lao.
"Yes, Master!"
A strong soul force enveloped Ye Chen as Yao Lao carried him deep into the mountain range.
If Yun Yun wanted the Purple Spirit Crystal, she would have to face the Purple Crystal Winged Lion.
Unable to stop her, Ye Chen decided to focus on the beast for her safety.
Flying recklessly over the mountains, any rogue flying beasts were immediately destroyed by Yao Lao.
With his current strength, Yao Lao was practically invincible in this area.
Once he located the cave of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion, they headed straight for it.
"Yao Lao, that should be enough. Call out the Purple Crystal Winged Lion."
From a distance near the cave, Ye Chen instructed Yao Lao.
"Yes, Master!"
Yao Lao nodded, releasing a massive soul force into the surroundings.
This was deep within the Beast Mountain Range, where most beasts were fourth or fifth-tier.
Under the terrifying soul pressure, they cowered, unable to move.
"Who dares cause trouble on my territory!"
