Minor Nirvana Golden Body

In the mountain forest not far away, Xiao Yan watched everything unfold, the corner of his mouth twitching. "It was gone in one punch? Isn't that Purple Crystal Winged Lion King way too fragile?"

"That brat's soul power rivals that of a Peak Dou Huang. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is, at most, a four- or Five-star Dou Huang. It's perfectly normal for her to be defeated in an instant," Yao Lao said calmly in his mind.

"Teacher, why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Xiao Yan said angrily. Hadn't everything he did been a complete waste of effort?

"It wasn't entirely wasted. Weren't you having quite a good time just now?" Yao Lao teased with a laugh.

Xiao Yan sighed helplessly. Without strength, even if you got angry, others would see it as nothing more than a joke.

"Forget it. I'll keep cultivating." Xiao Yan took a deep breath, suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, and returned to his cave.

In the cave next door, Yun Yun looked at Lu Bu hanging from her like a koala. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she said with a face full of black lines:

"Little Bu... do you think I'm stupid?"

Lu Bu was pale as gold paper and weakly clung to life, his head pressed tightly against Yun Yun's chest as he took in the perilous mountain peaks.

"If you keep this up, I'll... I'll just leave!" Yun Yun gritted her teeth.

"Uh..." Lu Bu raised his head to look... but couldn't see clearly. His view was blocked. Only after tilting his head slightly outward did he see Yun Yun's beautiful face, flushed with anger.

"Get down already!" Yun Yun snapped, her willow brows raised.

"Cough, cough..." Lu Bu coughed awkwardly and released Yun Yun with great reluctance. His face remained pale and his steps unsteady. Though he no longer looked as if he were on the verge of death, he was still seriously injured.

My acting was obviously that good. How did Yun Yun see through me?

Only after Lu Bu got down did Yun Yun finally sigh in relief. She helped him over to a stone chair and sat him down.

"What... happened just now?" Yun Yun asked softly. There was no doubt that Lu Bu was a Dou Shi, yet he had somehow unleashed an attack that sent the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King flying with a single blow.

"Uh... I encountered some opportunities before. Ones related to the soul." Lu Bu lied through his teeth. "I can erupt with power, but the aftereffects are pretty severe..."

"The soul..." Yun Yun's expression shifted slightly. She had never dabbled in such matters.

"Cough... I'll be fine after resting for a few days. Besides, I have pills." Lu Bu said, "Don't worry."

"Then... get some proper rest." Yun Yun bit her full lips and gently pulled Lu Bu over, letting him rest his head on her lap.

Lu Bu wriggled against her, chuckled, and gently closed his eyes.

Next door, Xiao Yan roared as the Mysterious Heavy Ruler smashed viciously into the rune puppet. After several days of training, he had finally caught up to its rhythm. He had finally hit it.

Yet Xiao Yan's face was dark, and he could not feel happy at all. It seemed he had done something stupid—he had given two people who had not been all that close a hard push, making their relationship even better.

Inside the cave, Lu Bu lay bare-chested on a stone platform, baring his teeth and occasionally sucking in cold breaths.

"Hiss... Sis, slower. I can't take it... Ah!"

"Enough! Shut up!" Yun Yun cursed through gritted teeth, her lovely face flushed red. Not a single proper word ever came out of this bastard's mouth.

"Your mind is really unhealthy," Lu Bu muttered. Burning Blood was already scorching hot. There was nothing wrong with what he said.

Yun Yun's jade hand trembled as she held a jade blade and spread Burning Blood across Lu Bu's... entire upper body. Feeling the fire-attributed energy continuously seep into his body, Lu Bu let out a comfortable moan, formed hand seals, and rapidly refined the energy into Dou Qi.

"This little bastard..." Yun Yun murmured softly, her eyes shimmering.

Before long, Lu Bu finished refining the energy, and Yun Yun applied Burning Blood to him once more.

"Little Bu..."

"Mm?"

"I'll be able to break the seal tomorrow..."

"Ah, that..." Lu Bu glanced at Yun Yun, then said somewhat gloomily, "Congratulations. You'll be able to get stronger again."

"Are you going to find the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King again?"

"Mhm... I need Purple Spirit Crystal." Yun Yun lowered her head as she slowly scraped on the Burning Blood.

"Fine, I'll help you." Lu Bu nodded. "You lure the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King away, and I'll search her cave."

"Mm... that works." Yun Yun looked at Lu Bu lying on the stone platform, an indescribable light flashing through her eyes before quickly dimming.

The next day.

Inside his cave, Xiao Yan, who had been immersed in cultivating Dou Qi, suddenly opened his eyes. A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lu Bu's cave next door, like a ferocious beast awakening. The immense presence instantly jolted Xiao Yan out of his cultivation state.

"Teacher, that woman has recovered?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.

"Most likely." Yao Lao nodded.

Not long after, Yao Lao sensed Lu Bu and Yun Yun leaving together, flying straight into the sky.

"Nalan Yanran will definitely obtain Purple Spirit Crystal..." Xiao Yan sighed. His opponents were growing stronger, time was growing shorter, and the pressure was mounting.

"Come on, Little Yan." Yao Lao took out a bottle of Burning Blood and lightly tossed it in his hand.

Xiao Yan's face fell, but it was soon replaced by determination. Gritting his teeth, he accepted the Burning Blood.

High in the sky.

"Sis, I'm scared of heights!" Lu Bu cried out in panic, clinging to Yun Yun like an octopus.

The Dou Qi Wings behind Yun Yun fluttered lightly, but her face was full of black lines. This little bastard was getting more and more outrageous.

"Little Bu, do you remember everything I told you?" Yun Yun ignored Lu Bu taking advantage of her. She really wanted to throw him down, but after thinking it over, she decided against it.

"Cough, cough... I remember." Lu Bu awkwardly loosened his hold somewhat. If Yun Yun had resisted, he could have continued shamelessly, but Yun Yun showed no reaction. That made Lu Bu suddenly feel embarrassed.

"Good. We're here, so let's begin." Yun Yun patted Lu Bu's shoulder. In the distance, the entrance to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave was already clearly visible.

"Fine." Lu Bu shrugged, released Yun Yun, and slipped away on his own, stealthily making his way toward the cave entrance.

Yun Yun's delicate body flashed as she shot into the sky. The long sword in her hand burst forth with a dazzling sword aura. The aura slashed through the void and instantly took the lives of the two fourth-tier magical beasts guarding the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave.

"Damned woman, you've got some nerve!" A roar from another woman immediately rang out from within the cave.

"Hand over the Purple Spirit Crystal!" Yun Yun abandoned her previous respectful attitude and shouted sternly.

"Die!" The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King ignored Yun Yun's words entirely. Dou Qi surged around her body as she pounced toward Yun Yun.

Seizing the chance, Lu Bu pushed off the ground and rushed into the cave. The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King had turned the cave into a place covered in purple crystal walls. It looked quite beautiful.

"It's so hot in here..." Lu Bu muttered. The heat here felt off. It was obviously far too hot.

"The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's Purple Fire shouldn't be this strong, right?" Lu Bu frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.

But Lu Bu had not come here to investigate. His soul power spread out, and he quickly found a square purple crystal platform in the center of the cave. On it sat a purple crystalline sphere the size of a head.

"Aha, found it!" Lu Bu's eyes immediately lit up. The Companion Purple Crystal Source—this was the target of his trip.

Cultivating the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was not so simple. Before that, Lu Bu planned to cultivate the Minor Nirvana Golden Body in order to strengthen his physical body.

But the Minor Nirvana Golden Body was not something that could be cultivated whenever one wished. Its principle was to imitate the true Nirvana Golden Body, using special energy to scour the body and combining it with a special method to achieve the effect of condensing a golden body.

But what if the body could not withstand the impact of that energy? After all, Lu Bu was only a Dou Shi right now. He did not even qualify as a rookie.

Therefore, Lu Bu first had to cleanse his tendons and marrow and strengthen his body. This Companion Purple Crystal Source was a rare treasure used for cleansing the tendons and marrow.

Clang, clang, clang~

After knocking on the Purple Crystal Source, Lu Bu raised a brow. He could break it open, but it would be troublesome. It would be better to use Purple Spirit Crystal.

Then he stamped his foot and rushed deeper into the cave. He was going to play with the little lion.
