Xiao Yan Greets Sect Master Yun!

Beyond her curiosity, Yun Yun also felt somewhat grateful to Chen Yang.

Just as she herself had said, if Chen Yang had not intervened and she had been afflicted by the Amethyst Winged Lion King's seal, she would have been in grave danger today.

Just as Yun Yun was about to thank Chen Yang, he suddenly turned to look at a Giant Stone several thousand meters away.

"Hey!"

"Brat, you've been watching for so long. Aren't you coming out to say something?"

Yun Yun was stunned. There was someone else here?

Someone capable of hiding from both her and the Amethyst Winged Lion King's senses had to be, at the very least, a Dou Wang skilled in concealment. Yet this Young Man had called him a brat. Could he be another young Dou Wang?

Over on Xiao Yan's side, hearing Chen Yang call for him, he gave a bitter smile and rubbed his nose. "Teacher, Brother Yang seems to have discovered us."

Medicine Elder chuckled and withdrew his Spiritual Power. "Then go out and take a look. Are you afraid he'll do something to you?"

After saying that, Medicine Elder pondered inwardly, At most, he'll swindle you out of a little money. Besides, overall, you're still the one profiting.

"Fine!"

Xiao Yan helplessly shook his head, spread his Green Swallow Wings, and flew out from behind the Giant Stone.

Yun Yun was startled. "Dou Qi Transformation Wings???"

Xiao Yan was not slow. With his Six-star Fighter cultivation, he quickly flew before Chen Yang after activating the Green Swallow Wings.

"Brother Yang!"

Xiao Yan landed on the ground and cupped his hands in salute to Chen Yang.

"Not bad. We haven't seen each other for Two Months, and you're nearly a Seven-star Fighter already. How has your training in the Monster Mountain Range been?"

Chen Yang landed with a smile, patting Xiao Yan's shoulder as he praised and questioned him.

"Thanks to Brother Yang's Medicinal Pills, I'm confident that I can break through to the Da Dou Shi level before leaving the Monster Mountain Range!" Xiao Yan secretly gritted his teeth, feeling both grateful and heartbroken over his Gold Coins. His emotions were truly complicated.

"I've recently gained some new inspiration in Alchemy. Once my Alchemy breaks through again, I'll custom-make another batch of Medicinal Pills for you. Of course..." As Chen Yang spoke, he rubbed his fingers together. Xiao Yan was Slightly Stunned. Did Dou Qi Continent have such a gesture for counting money?

Still, he did not think much of it and merely assumed it was an expression from elsewhere. "Don't worry, Brother Yang. I've gained a few things in the Monster Mountain Range recently, and my Alchemy has improved as well. I should... be able to afford it..."

Xiao Yan scratched his head, looking forward to Chen Yang's new Medicinal Pills while grieving over his wallet before he had even had the chance to warm it up.

For an Alchemist to end up like him was truly humiliating. He was poor!

At this moment, Yun Yun also realized that Xiao Yan was not using Dou Qi Transformation Wings, but a rare Flying Dou Technique. This made her even more curious about Chen Yang's Clan.

Yun Yun had landed on the ground alongside Chen Yang, while the Amethyst Winged Lion King had recovered somewhat after taking the Medicinal Pill.

"Mm, keep it up. Earn lots of money!"

Chen Yang encouraged Xiao Yan with a brilliant smile.

Xiao Yan might not have much money, but Medicine Elder had plenty of good things.

There were countless Pill Recipes, Dou Techniques, and Cultivation Methods. Any one of them would be enough to make the Jia Ma Empire scramble for it.

Xiao Yan nodded shyly, then turned around and looked at Yun Yun with a complicated gaze. After two and a half seconds of silence, Xiao Yan suddenly cupped his hands and bowed to Yun Yun.

"This Xiao Yan greets Sect Master Yun!"

Yun Yun: "???"

Chen Yang: "???"

Medicine Elder: "???"

"Y-you... what did you say your name was?" Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan in shock.

"Sect Master Yun, I am Xiao Yan of Wutan City, and also your disciple's... former Fiancé!" Xiao Yan straightened up and bitterly rubbed his nose.

In the Original Work, Xiao Yan's mind had been clouded by the hatred born from the Three-Year Agreement. Among the Jia Ma Empire's ten strongest experts, only the Misty Cloud Sect Master Yun Yun fit the identity of a young female Dou Emperor.

The original Xiao Yan had failed to recognize her, but under Chen Yang's influence, the current Xiao Yan was calm and perceptive. Considering Yun Yun's Dou Qi Attribute, the place where she had appeared, and her age, Yun Yun's identity stood out clearly.

"How did you know... oh..." Yun Yun had initially wanted to ask how Xiao Yan knew her identity, but upon thinking it over carefully, she realized that in the Jia Ma Empire, among women with Wind Attribute Dou Qi and the strength of a Dou Emperor, she was the only one who fit.

"So you're the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect?" Chen Yang turned to Yun Yun, pretending as though he had only just learned who she was.

"In the rush earlier, I didn't have time to introduce myself. I am Yun Yun!" Yun Yun turned to Chen Yang and said apologetically.

"It's fine. I didn't introduce myself either. I am Chen Yang, from Central Continent!" Chen Yang lightly cupped his hands toward Yun Yun.

"As expected!"

The moment Chen Yang said this, Yun Yun and Medicine Elder both thought to themselves. A Young Talent like this could only have come from Central Continent.

"Mr. Chen Yang, Yun Yun needs the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Would you be willing to part with it? I can exchange something for it!" Yun Yun stopped dwelling on Chen Yang's identity and changed the subject to the Purple Spirit Crystal.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan knew that Yun Yun's trade with Chen Yang for the Purple Spirit Crystal was most likely for Nalan Yanran's use. Otherwise, a Dou Emperor would have no need for such a thing.

"Aren't you concerned about Nalan Yanran's current strength?" Medicine Elder's voice sounded in Xiao Yan's mind.

"She and I have long since become people of two different worlds. There is still over a year until the Three-Year Agreement. If I can successfully devour the Heavenly Flames, then by that time, I'll at least be a High-level Great Dou Shi. Nalan Yanran... heh..." Xiao Yan gently shook his head. From At First, the Three-Year Agreement had never been anything important to him.

The one he wanted to surpass was not Nalan Yanran or Chen Yang, but his former self.

As long as he grew stronger every day than he had been the day before, the future would belong to him.

"Haha, good boy! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!" Medicine Elder's hearty laughter sounded within Xiao Yan's mind. Xiao Yan gave a Slight Smile, though he was rather curious about what kind of precious item this Purple Spirit Crystal was for Yun Yun to come personally and obtain it.

"No problem!" Chen Yang laughed heartily. It was merely a Purple Spirit Crystal; the Amethyst Winged Lion King's most precious possession was not the Purple Spirit Crystal.

"That's wonderful!" Yun Yun was overjoyed. She then took out the items she had Prepared For—three Fifth-order Magical Cores, a Mysterious Tier High-grade fire-attribute Cultivation Method, and a Mysterious Tier High-grade fire-attribute Dou Technique! (Explosive Step was Mysterious Tier Mid-grade, so it should not have been something Yun Yun had Prepared For the Purple Gold Winged Lion King!)

Chen Yang waved his hand and put the items away before turning toward the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King obediently nodded, flapped his wings, and wobbled back into the cave. Soon, it flew back out with a purple crystal clamped in its mouth.

During this time, the three of them found a clean patch of ground. Standing in that deep pit earlier had indeed been somewhat inelegant.

"Master, this is the Purple Spirit Crystal!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King placed the Purple Spirit Crystal on the clean grass, then lay prone on the ground as it spoke to Chen Yang.

"Mm!"

Chen Yang Nodded, waved his hand to draw up the Purple Spirit Crystal, and Handed To Yun Yun...
