You Might Profit, but I'll Never Lose!

At the summit of Misty Cloud Mountain Back Peak, Cloud Mist swirled like an immortal realm.

On a protruding Black Rock at the edge of a cliff, Nalan Yanran, dressed in a Moon-white Robe, sat with her eyes closed, cultivating as she felt the Evening Breeze in the mountains.

When the clouds were light and the wind gentle, Nalan Yanran stopped cultivating. Gazing at the majestic Monster Mountain Range in the distance beyond Misty Cloud Mountain Back Peak, her thoughts drifted.

Seven days ago, Nalan Su had gone up Misty Cloud Sect to reprimand her. He had told her that Xiao Yan had become a Five-star Dou Practitioner within a year and a half, while Xiao Zhan of the Xiao Family had broken through to Dou Ling. He had also told her to go to the Xiao Family and apologize.

Stubborn as she was, she did not think she had done anything wrong. Back when she broke off the engagement, she had already compensated everything she was supposed to compensate for. She had even had a huge falling-out with her family over it. If she went back to apologize now, where would Nalan Yanran's dignity be? Where would Misty Cloud Sect's dignity be? Where would Yun Yun's dignity be?

"There's still more than a year until the Three-Year Agreement. I'm already a One-Star Fighter. By the time the agreement comes, I may already be a Da Dou Shi."

"I cultivate the Misty Cloud Sect's Superior Technique, learn Dou Techniques that only the Sect Leader is qualified to learn, and have a Sixth-grade Alchemist refine Medicinal Pills for me."

"Xiao Yan, what do you have to compete with me?"

Clearly, Nalan Yanran had also been shocked by Xiao Yan's Cultivation Speed, going from nothing to a Five-star Dou Practitioner in just a year and a half.

She kept consoling herself now because she did not want to think about those upsetting matters any longer.

Whoosh!

Just then, a cyan figure flew swiftly over from the horizon. Nalan Yanran looked up, and joy immediately filled her face. She hurriedly rose from the Giant Stone and waved. "Teacher!!!"

From afar, Yun Yun, whose thoughts were still lingering on Chen Yang, suddenly saw her Disciple. Thinking of Xiao Yan's current cultivation in the Monster Mountain Range, Yun Yun could not help sighing. Her Dou Qi Wings Flapped, and she drifted down before Nalan Yanran.

"Teacher!"

"Why did you take so long to return? Did you encounter some danger?"

Nalan Yanran looked at Yun Yun as she withdrew her Dou Qi Wings and asked worriedly.

"No..."

"That Amethyst Winged Lion King was not easy to deal with. Fortunately, I met someone, which allowed me to obtain this Purple Spirit Crystal smoothly."

Yun Yun reached out and touched Nalan Yanran's face, an Elegant Smile appearing on her face as she spoke.

"It's good that Teacher is all right."

"But someone who could help Teacher should at least be a Dou Wang, right?"

Nalan Yanran sighed in relief at her words, then asked curiously.

"You'll find out later..."

Yun Yun looked at Nalan Yanran. She wanted to tell her Xiao Yan's True Strength, but she feared that hearing it would damage Nalan Yanran's Dao Heart and make her Collapse.

She was even more afraid that, because of Xiao Yan's current strength, Nalan Yanran might take some Extreme Action. Therefore, she said, "Yanran, there's no need to cultivate too bitterly. Relaxing once in a while can be beneficial too."

Nalan Yanran shook her head repeatedly. "Teacher, you don't understand. A few days ago, Father came up the mountain and told me that Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family had silently become a Five-star Dou Practitioner. He achieved such speed in only a year and a half. If I slack off, I'm afraid I'll disgrace Teacher at the Three-Year Agreement!"

Seeing Nalan Yanran's stubborn appearance, Yun Yun could not help sighing. "So be it. Make your own decisions about your affairs. If you lose the Three-Year Agreement, don't let it damage your Cultivation Heart."

Because of Chen Yang's interference, and because Xiao Yan had taken things in stride, neither of them had made any agreement to become the other's Slave this time. Yun Yun had also received the Marriage Contract.

This Three-Year Agreement was, in truth, simply a battle for Xiao Yan to regain his dignity. Whether Xiao Yan won or Nalan Yanran won with difficulty, at most Nalan Yanran would lose some face and prove that she had judged someone wrongly.

Only if Nalan Yanran won beautifully, crushing Xiao Yan with Overwhelming Momentum, could she prove that what she had done back then was right.

But Fate had decreed that when Xiao Yan next ascended Misty Cloud Sect, he would likely no longer be merely a One-Star Da Dou Shi.

Nalan Yanran did not notice Yun Yun's unusual behavior. At that moment, she was eagerly anticipating how the Purple Spirit Crystal Yun Yun had brought back could help accelerate her Cultivation Speed.

Monster Mountain Range!

Amethyst Winged Lion King's Cave.

After Yun Yun left, Chen Yang made his way here and found the Healed Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Master!"

Seeing Chen Yang arrive, the Amethyst Winged Lion King respectfully whispered.

"I heard that when your Amethyst Winged Lion King Clan gives birth to cubs, there is a chance of producing Companion Purple Crystal Source. Is that true?" Chen Yang looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes..." The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not dare lie, but it still wanted to secure a future for its child. "When I gave birth, I did indeed produce some Companion Purple Crystal Source. But Master may not know that this Companion Purple Crystal Source concerns my child's future. If it consumes it while it is a Fourth-order Magical Beast, it can directly advance to Fifth-order..."

Chen Yang did not stop the Amethyst Winged Lion King from speaking. After all, half the reason this Great Lion had submitted to him was because of its child.

"I do intend to take the Companion Purple Crystal Source."

"But are you sure you want to give up a Seventh-grade Alchemist for that Purple Crystal Source?"

Chen Yang clasped his hands behind his back and spoke to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"A... Seventh-grade Alchemist?"

"Master, you are a Seventh-grade Alchemist?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was utterly shocked.

"I bear my Clan's Inheritance. Within two years, I will definitely become a Seventh-grade Alchemist!"

Chen Yang said.

"In that case, Master may take the Companion Purple Crystal Source!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King did not doubt that Chen Yang was lying in the slightest.

It possessed wisdom no weaker than that of humans.

Chen Yang could clearly have taken it by force, yet he was discussing it with the beast now.

This Master had given it the most basic respect. He had not treated it like a mere animal. And if its child could receive the help of a Seventh-grade Alchemist, perhaps it could surpass its parent in the future. Most parents hoped their children would be even more outstanding than themselves.

After taking the Associated Purple Gold Source, Chen Yang looked at the young Amethyst Winged Lion King, then made a list and instructed the Amethyst Winged Lion King to find the necessary Medicinal Materials.

"You're very lucky. I happen to have a prescription for a Fourth-grade pill refined using Associated Purple Gold Source. If you can gather the Medicinal Pills, I guarantee that your child will steadily advance to a Fourth-order Magical Beast within a month. It will only require three drops of Associated Purple Gold Source!" Chen Yang said with a smile as he looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King was overjoyed and hurried out to order its subordinates to search for the required Medicinal Materials.

Seeing this, Chen Yang took a small bottle of Companion Purple Crystal Source and went to find Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was currently cultivating in a valley. His Heavy Black Ruler whistled through the air as he swung it, clearly showing that he had spent a long time honing his ruler technique.

"Brother Yang!"

Seeing Chen Yang descend from the sky, Xiao Yan smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He flung the Giant Ruler onto his back and called out to Chen Yang.

"Not bad. You're already a Seven-star Fighter. Did your Teacher set your goal as breaking through to Da Dou Shi before leaving the Monster Mountain Range?" Chen Yang withdrew his Dou Qi Wings, glanced around the valley, and praised Xiao Yan with a smile.

"Hehe, I got lucky and broke through while refining pills yesterday!" Xiao Yan still called it luck. "Teacher's cultivation plan is indeed like that. My daily cultivation is quite fulfilling now."

Chen Yang smiled without commenting. The Medicinal Pills worth over one million Gold Coin that he had sold Xiao Yan would at most support his breakthrough to Da Dou Shi. It was only natural for Medicine Elder to make a corresponding plan for him.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang waved his hand and took out the Companion Purple Crystal Source. "I obtained some Associated Purple Gold Source from the Amethyst Winged Lion King. This should be greatly beneficial to your cultivation."

As he spoke, Chen Yang tossed it to Xiao Yan. "After refining this bottle of Purple Crystal Source, you may have a chance to refine the Amethyst Winged Lion King's Purple Flame. It will be immensely useful for both fighting and pill refinement in the future."

Xiao Yan looked at the Jade Bottle in his hand in surprise. While thanking Chen Yang, he asked Medicine Elder in his heart.

After receiving Medicine Elder's affirmative answer, Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang with even greater gratitude.

"Don't rush to thank me yet. This bottle of Purple Crystal Source costs three million Gold Coin, or something of equivalent value!"

Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan and grinned.

"Three million???"

Xiao Yan was instantly dumbfounded.

A few days ago, he had only obtained a little over a hundred thousand Gold Coin from that Mysterious Cave. It seemed these three million could only come from his Teacher.

Medicine Elder also wore a bitter expression. After rummaging through his reserves, he finally took out a prescription for Sixth-grade Pills.

Just as Chen Yang received the prescription, the System Mechanism successfully activated. The bottle of Companion Purple Crystal Source in Xiao Yan's hands gave Chen Yang a barrel of Companion Purple Crystal Source produced by a Seventh-grade Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Xiao Yan might have made a small profit, but Chen Yang would never lose...
