Yun Yun: Young People Shouldn't Be Too Arrogant, Are You a Dou Zong?

Yun Yun: Young man, do not be too arrogant... You're a Dou Zong?

"Thank you for saving me just now..."

A sincere note of gratitude came from Yun Yun.

However, Yun Yun was still curious about how someone as young as Gu Fei had come alone to train in such a dangerous area deep within the Monster Mountain Range.

At that moment, Gu Fei had concealed his aura and did not reveal his strength.

If Yun Yun had known, she would probably have been utterly stunned.

Yun Yun looked Gu Fei over, a trace of confusion flashing through her eyes.

Yun Yun felt confused. Emotion Value +100

"How strange. What is his cultivation level? Why can't I see through it at all?"

Yun Yun rubbed her forehead, her brows knitting slightly.

She guessed that the seal had weakened her ability to assess others.

"Are you an alchemist?"

Yun Yun had heard that she recovered from her injuries after taking a healing pill, so she asked.

"Mm..."

Gu Fei nodded, admitting it directly.

Yun Yun was instantly intrigued. So young, yet already an alchemist—his future was bound to be limitless!

"Little fellow, you saved me. In the future, I can introduce you to a master alchemist. I'm sure he would be of great help to you..."

Yun Yun thought of Pill King Gu He, with whom she had quite a good relationship.

Having received such a great favor from Gu Fei today, she could repay him in the future—

By introducing him to Pill King Gu He, she could be considered to have repaid this debt of gratitude.

After all, Pill King Gu He was a Sixth Grade Alchemist, one of the very best in the Jia Ma Empire.

"There's no need."

Gu Fei smiled and shook his head.

Given Yun Yun's knowledge, the highest-ranking alchemist she knew was likely no more than Pill King Gu He, that so-called Sixth Grade Alchemist.

Gu Fei, on the other hand, was already a Seventh Grade Alchemist. Why would he need Gu He's guidance?

If Gu He learned of Gu Fei's alchemical abilities, he ought to be the one asking Gu Fei for guidance instead.

Seeing Gu Fei refuse, Yun Yun did not press the matter and changed the subject. "By the way, I forgot to ask your name..."

"Gu Fei..."

Yun Yun was stunned upon hearing it. She had not expected the young man before her to share the same surname as Pill King Gu He!

"The Gu surname?"

Based on that surname, she wondered whether Gu Fei might have some connection to Gu He.

After all, they were both alchemists. It seemed unlikely that they had no connection whatsoever.

"What is your relationship with Pill King Gu He?"

Yun Yun asked curiously.

"Not even remotely related..."

Gu Fei answered blandly.

"I see. Looks like I was overthinking it!"

Yun Yun said with a slightly awkward smile.

"I heard from afar earlier that you came for the Lion King's Amethyst Crystal. I suppose you intend to use it to refine some kind of pill..."

Gu Fei asked.

"Yes. But the Lion King was unwilling to trade, so I had no choice but to take it by force. I was simply careless for a moment and was injured by the Lion King's innate sealing technique."

Yun Yun nodded. Her body was still faintly aching.

At the mention of the Amethyst Crystal, Gu Fei, who was familiar with the original story from his previous life, naturally knew about it. He casually said:

"If I'm not mistaken, Amethyst Crystals are generally used to refine Amethyst Pills, which can raise a Da Dou Shi's cultivation. Is that what you intend to refine?"

"That's right..."

Yun Yun was startled. She had not expected Gu Fei to know so much.

Yun Yun felt shocked. Emotion Value +100

She truly intended to refine an Amethyst Spirit Pill for her disciple, Nalan Yanran.

"You're so young. What is your purpose in coming deep into the Monster Mountain Range?"

Yun Yun finally could not suppress her inner curiosity any longer and asked.

Gu Fei did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

"Actually, I came here this time to subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King as my mount... The Amethyst Crystal is extremely important to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's bloodline. If he is unwilling to trade it, then do not forcefully seize it. Besides, with your strength, you would not be able to defeat the Lion King..."

Gu Fei's next words left Yun Yun somewhat stunned.

She could hardly believe what she had just heard.

"This young man actually said he wants to subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount. Did I hear that right?"

Yun Yun was deeply shocked. That was the Rank 6 Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

Yun Yun felt shocked. Emotion Value +100

Yun Yun hid her shock well, but Gu Fei easily noticed it through the system prompt.

He smiled faintly.

"Heh, it's only a Rank 6 Magical Beast. What's there to make such a fuss about?"

Gu Fei was not surprised by Yun Yun's astonishment and merely replied with a faint smile.

At that moment, Gu Fei habitually concealed his aura. Moreover, since he had found it troublesome to deal with the Amethyst Winged Lion King's pursuit earlier, he had never revealed his cultivation aura. Thus, Yun Yun felt that he was boasting.

Why was this young man speaking with such arrogance?

However, Gu Fei could not be bothered to explain further and instead slowly walked toward the cave entrance.

Seeing Gu Fei head outside, Yun Yun, whose injuries had somewhat recovered thanks to the healing pill, followed him out as well.

Outside the cave, chaos reigned, with the roars of Magical Beasts echoing everywhere.

Earlier, unable to find Yun Yun, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's severed Beast Horn was still throbbing with pain. His terrifying roar spread through more than half of the Monster Mountain Range.

Many low-ranking Magical Beasts trembled in fear at his roar, wishing they could hide back in their nests. Yet the Lion King forced them out, leaving them no choice but to search the surrounding area for Yun Yun.

In the original story, after Xiao Yan saved Yun Yun, he had been unable to conceal her aura within the cave due to his lack of strength.

In the end, he could only scatter some medicinal powder outside the cave to mask their scent.

And because those low-ranking Magical Beasts had not searched very carefully, they had managed to muddle through and conceal themselves.

But Gu Fei had no need to do any of that. With his strength, he could directly block Yun Yun's aura from leaking out.

However, now that they had come outside, he did not help Yun Yun conceal her aura.

Therefore, not long after Yun Yun stepped out of the cave this time, her aura attracted a large group of Magical Beasts.

Only then did Yun Yun realize what was happening. Her expression changed slightly. "Oh no, these Magical Beasts are the Lion King's subordinates. They caught my scent. It seems I'm going to drag you into this... I'm truly sorry."

Yun Yun felt guilty. Emotion Value +100

In her eyes, Gu Fei was extremely weak. Although she possessed the strength of a Dou Emperor, she had yet to fully recover and might not be able to protect him properly.

Clearly, Yun Yun still believed that Gu Fei had merely been boasting earlier.

However, in the next moment, Yun Yun watched helplessly as Gu Fei rose directly into the air.

There was nothing behind him.

Unlike Yun Yun, who needed Dou Qi wings to fly, Gu Fei simply stood in the sky, his expression calm, without needing any support at all.

Yun Yun froze.

Yun Yun felt shocked. Emotion Value +100

"A Dou Zong?"

This unbelievable term sprang into her mind, and rare surprise appeared on Yun Yun's usually unruffled face.

A youth who looked only sixteen or seventeen actually possessed such strength?

Even though Yun Yun was considered exceptionally talented within the Jia Ma Empire.

She was someone admired by countless people.

Yet Gu Fei's overwhelmingly powerful talent far exceeded her imagination.
