Besides curiosity, Yunyun also felt some gratitude towards Chen Yang.
As she herself said, if Chen Yang hadn't intervened, she would have been in danger today if she had been sealed by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Just as Yun Yun was about to thank Chen Yang, Chen Yang suddenly turned his head and looked at a giant rock several thousand meters away.
"Hello!"
"You brat, you've been watching for so long, aren't you going to say anything?"
Yun Yun was taken aback. Were there other people here?
Anyone who could hide from both himself and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King must at least be a Dou Wang expert skilled in concealment. And this young man is called a brat, so could he be another young Dou Wang expert?
When Xiao Yan heard Chen Yang call him, he smiled wryly and touched his nose: "Teacher, it seems that Brother Yang has discovered us."
The old man chuckled and withdrew his soul power: "Then why don't you just go out and see for yourself? What are you afraid of him doing to you?"
After speaking, the old apothecary pondered for a moment: 'At most, I'll just swindle you a little money, and overall you'll still make a profit.'
"All right!"
Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly, and Qingyan spread her wings and flew out from behind the boulder.
Yun Yun was shocked: "Battle Qi transforming into wings???"
Xiao Yan was not slow either. With his cultivation as a six-star Dou Shi, he quickly flew to Chen Yang's side using his Azure Swallow Wings.
"Brother Yang!"
Xiao Yan landed on the ground and bowed to Chen Yang with his hands clasped.
"Not bad, it's been two months, and you're almost a Seven-Star Battle Master. How's your training in the Monster Mountain Range going?"
Chen Yang landed with a smile, patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder, and asked him questions while praising him.
"Thanks to Brother Yang's pills, I am confident that I can break through to the Great Dou Master level before leaving the Monster Mountain Range!" Xiao Yan gritted his teeth secretly, feeling both heartbroken for his lost gold coins and grateful, his heart filled with complex emotions.
"I've had some inspiration for alchemy recently. Once I break through again, I'll tailor-make another batch of pills for you. Of course…" Chen Yang said, rubbing his fingers together. Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. In the Dou Qi Continent, was there such a gesture of counting money?
However, he didn't think too much about it, assuming it was just a saying in other places: "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I've made some gains in the Monster Mountain Range recently, and my alchemy skills have also improved, so I should... be able to afford it..."
Xiao Yan scratched his head, looking forward to Chen Yang's new pills while feeling sorry for his wallet that hadn't even warmed up yet.
It's truly shameful for an alchemist to be in this situation—so poor!
At this moment, Yun Yun also noticed that Xiao Yan was not using Dou Qi Wings, but a rare flying Dou Technique, which made her even more curious about Chen Yang's family.
Yun Yun landed on the ground with Chen Yang, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King had recovered somewhat after taking the pill.
"Okay, keep it up and make lots of money!"
Chen Yang encouraged Xiao Yan with a bright smile on his face.
Although Xiao Yan doesn't have much money, he has a lot of good stuff from Yao Lao.
There are countless prescriptions, fighting techniques, and cultivation methods; any one of them would be enough for the Gama Empire to fight over for a while.
Xiao Yan nodded shyly, then turned to look at Yun Yun with a complicated expression. After a two-and-a-half-second silence, Xiao Yan suddenly bowed to Yun Yun.
"This humble one, Xiao Yan, greets Sect Master Yun!"
Yun Yun: "???"
Chen Yang: "???"
The old medicine doctor: "???"
"You...you said...what's your name?" Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan in shock.
"Sect Master Yun, I am Xiao Yan from Wutan City, and I am also Sect Master Yun's disciple's... former fiancé!" Xiao Yan straightened up and touched his nose bitterly as he spoke.
In the original novel, Xiao Yan was blinded by hatred over the three-year agreement. Among the ten strongest people in the entire Jia Ma Empire, only Yun Yun, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, was worthy of the title of a young female Dou Huang.
Xiao Yan couldn't recognize her at first, but now, under Chen Yang's intervention, he is more composed and perceptive. Considering Yun Yun's Dou Qi attributes, the location where she appeared, and her age, Yun Yun's identity has become clear.
"How did you know... Oh..." Yun Yun originally wanted to ask Xiao Yan how he knew her identity, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The Jia Ma Empire, female, wind attribute Dou Qi, Dou Huang strength, she was the only one who fit the description.
"So you're the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect?" Chen Yang turned to look at Yun Yun, pretending that he had just met her.
"In the rush just now, I didn't have time to introduce myself. I am Yun Yun!" Yun Yun turned to Chen Yang and said apologetically.
"It's alright. I didn't introduce myself just now. My name is Chen Yang, from Zhongzhou!" Chen Yang looked at Yun Yun and gently cupped his hands in greeting.
"really!"
Upon hearing Chen Yang's words, Yun Yun and Yao Lao silently thought to themselves that such a young talent could only come from Zhongzhou.
"Mr. Chen Yang, Yun Yun needs the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it? I can exchange it for something!" Yun Yun stopped dwelling on Chen Yang's identity and changed the subject to the Purple Spirit Crystal.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan knew that Yun Yun and Chen Yang were trading the Purple Spirit Crystal for Nalan Yanran's use; otherwise, a Dou Huang powerhouse wouldn't need the Purple Spirit Crystal.
"Don't you care about Nalan Yanran's current strength?" Yao Lao's voice rang in Xiao Yan's mind.
"She and I are from two different worlds now. There's still more than a year left in the three-year agreement. If I can successfully devour the strange fire, I will be at least a high-level Great Dou Master by then. Nalan Yanran… Hehe…" Xiao Yan shook his head gently. The three-year agreement was never a big deal for him from the beginning.
What he wants to surpass is not Nalan Yanran or Chen Yang, but his past self.
As long as you are better than you are the day before, the future belongs to you.
"Haha, good lad, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Yao Lao's hearty laughter rang in Xiao Yan's mind. Xiao Yan smiled slightly, somewhat curious about what this Purple Spirit Crystal was that was so precious that Yun Yun would come to retrieve it personally.
"No problem!" Chen Yang laughed heartily. It was just a mere purple spirit crystal; the most precious thing about this Purple Crystal Winged Lion King wasn't the purple spirit crystal.
"That's wonderful!" Yun Yun was overjoyed upon hearing this, and then took out what she had originally prepared—three fifth-tier magic cores, a high-level Xuan-rank fire attribute cultivation technique, and a high-level Xuan-rank fire attribute combat skill! (The Explosive Step is a mid-level Xuan-rank technique, so it shouldn't be what Yun Yun prepared for the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King!)
Chen Yang waved his hand to put the items away, then turned to look at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded obediently, flapped its wings, and flew back into the cave. Soon, it flew back with a purple crystal in its mouth.
During this time, Chen Yang and the other two found a clean and tidy spot on the ground. Standing in that deep pit just now was indeed a bit inelegant.
"Master, this is the Purple Spirit Crystal!"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King placed the Amethyst Crystal on the clean grass, prostrated himself on the ground, and spoke to Chen Yang.
"Um!"
Chen Yang nodded, waved his hand to pick up the purple spirit crystal, and then handed it to Yun Yun...
