Seven-Colored Poison Sutra

A few days later, above the mountain ravine.

The peerlessly beautiful woman, her entire body flushed crimson, contentedly spread her Wings of Dou Qi. She cast one lingering glance back, rubbed her slightly bulging belly, and murmured, "It won't fit anymore, Little Husband. I'll let you off this time. In three years, don't forget our promise..."

Then, she flew out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Another full day passed before a young man slowly emerged from the ravine, supporting himself against an Ancient Tree.

Though the young man was exceptionally handsome, captivating with every gesture, his steps floated unsteadily. His face was pale, dark circles ringed his eyes, his lips were white, and his limp footsteps seemed unable to withstand even a gust of wind.

Little Amethyst Winged Lion, which had been guarding outside the ravine, was astonished to see that its master had become so visibly weak.

When that woman had abducted its master, he had been full of life and vigor. Why did he now look as if he had been injured? "Empress Mother, that woman really is a bad person! She hurt Master! I can sense that Master has become so much weaker! When the contract was formed, Master was clearly brimming with vitality, but now it has become so faint!"

Little Amethyst Winged Lion angrily complained to the Amethyst Winged Lion King. It was furious! Then it rushed to Su Qingyun's side, letting him lean on it and even ride it as he walked.

Its master was far too weak! "Master, are you all right? That woman..."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King also asked with concern.

"I'm fine. At least I won't die. I should recover after resting for a while. But what is this pile of stuff behind you?"

A bitter smile appeared on Su Qingyun's face. Though he had not died, if it went on for a few more days, that might truly be hard to say.

Knowing they would be separated for three years, Yun Yun had wanted nothing more than to devour Su Qingyun whole over the past few days, leaving him no room to breathe. As a result, the young Su Qingyun now felt completely hollowed out, with no interest in doing anything. Perhaps he had entered the legendary Sage Mode.

Su Qingyun let out a breath before noticing that the Amethyst Winged Lion King was guarding a pile of things covered by large banana leaves, prompting him to ask.

As the Amethyst Winged Lion King walked, its violet-gold lion paws left sunken imprints in the ground. It bit down on the stems of the banana leaves with its sharp teeth and flicked them aside!

The next moment, the scene beneath the banana leaves was revealed, radiating dazzling brilliance.

Su Qingyun looked closely. By rough estimate, there was a pile of Purple Spirit Crystals around three meters tall, with at least several hundred pieces.

Not only was it piled high with Purple Spirit Crystals, there were also dark-gold and crimson spirit crystals, along with rare herbs from the Magical Beast Mountain Range: Evergreen Flowers, Spirit Return Red Fruits, Blood Lotus Essence, Ice Spirit Flame Grass, Blue Rock Heart Stones, Seven Absolutes Flowers...

While in Su Garden of the Xiao Clan, Su Qingyun had studied herbal knowledge with Old Ya for a time, so he recognized most of the medicinal ingredients here. Seeing these things, even his body, depleted of vital essence, seemed to warm up somewhat. He asked in surprise, "Big Zi, these are?"

After completing the Amethyst Blood Alliance contract, Su Qingyun regarded the Amethyst Winged Lion King and Little Amethyst Winged Lion as his magical beast companions, so he called them by their nicknames: Big Zi and Little Zi.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King spoke in human language. Unlike its mighty, deep voice when battling Yun Yun, its tone was exceedingly gentle.

"Master, these treasures are the savings we accumulated over many years of living in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Some are crystal treasures we cultivated ourselves, while others are herbs we gathered throughout the mountain range. Now that we are leaving the Magical Beast Mountain Range, these things would be useless here. Giving them to Master may allow them to serve a greater purpose."

Su Qingyun circled the herbs and spirit crystals once, then suddenly spotted a book beneath the herbs.

Curious, he reached out and picked it up. The moment he looked at it, four large characters leaped into view. Su Qingyun's eyes widened in shock.

"Seven-Colored Poison Sutra? Big Zi, where did you get the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra?"

If Su Qingyun remembered correctly, the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra should have been hidden in the cave dwelling ruins of some expert.

Speaking of which, the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra reminded Su Qingyun of someone.

Xiao Yi Xian.

It was this Seven-Colored Poison Sutra that had delayed the onset of Xiao Yi Xian's Eroding Poison Body. After her Eroding Poison Body erupted, it had also allowed her to gain considerable strength through the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra.

But the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra had nothing to do with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, did it? The Amethyst Winged Lion King said at this moment, "Master, is there something wrong with this poison sutra? Over the past few days, when I went to the caves of those Three Stupid Beast Kings to look for treasures, I happened to wander past a secret place. I saw some herbs inside that barely qualified as decent, so I explored it and found some things."

"I didn't know whether books and such were useful, so I brought them back together with everything else."

Hearing this, Su Qingyun could not help but marvel inwardly. He had not expected Big Zi's luck to be so good.

But... if there was even the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra, then the Purple Cloud Wings and the fragment map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame should also be there.

Though the map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and the Purple Cloud Wings were not particularly useful to Su Qingyun.

Still, after searching, Su Qingyun truly found both items.

Big Zi's luck really was excellent. It had found the hidden place of the Seven-Colored Poison Sutra just by wandering around.

Su Qingyun stored all these things in his Storage Ring.

The Cloud Ring Yun Yun had given him possessed an enormous storage space. It differed from ordinary Storage Rings sold in auction houses, being far more precious and holding more than three or four times the storage capacity of ordinary Storage Rings.

"Phew~"

Su Qingyun softly exhaled. For an ordinary cultivator, the treasures Big Zi had brought him would likely be enough to reach the Dou Ling realm.

But for Su Qingyun, who possessed a full Soul Attribute and cultivated Immortal Qi, which was more advanced than Dou Qi, he would already be satisfied if these things could sustain him until he broke through to Da Dou Shi.

"Let's go, Little Zi. I'll take you home."

"It should be that way—Wu Tan City! Forward!"

"Big Zi, your sixth-tier strength is too formidable, and your body is too large. If you enter human villages or cities, you may frighten the local residents into panic. You can follow behind us and hide in the shadows. When I call for you, then appear."

Riding atop Little Amethyst Winged Lion, Su Qingyun shot into the air with a buzz.

He turned back and spoke to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

When Su Qingyun had left, Wu Tan City had already become a city of slaughter. He was also worried about the situation in the city, and about how Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others were doing now. It was time to return.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded.

"Very well, Master. If you encounter any danger, you can call for me through the Amethyst Blood Alliance contract. As long as we are within a hundred li of each other, I can sense it!"

And so, the young man rode the third-tier magical beast Amethyst Winged Lion through the Magical Beast Mountain Range, drawing astonished looks from several Mercenary Groups within the mountain range. They pointed at the Amethyst Winged Lion in the sky, dumbfounded. "Look, that seems to be an Amethyst Winged Lion! A third-tier Amethyst Winged Lion!"

"Damn? There seems to be someone sitting on it!"

"Who is that?! He actually tamed a third-tier Amethyst Winged Lion as a mount!"
