Departure and Refinement

The night was quiet and peaceful; the moon was round and bright.

Moonlight filtered through the thick fog above the valley, making the three figures below appear rather hazy.

"Lin Ming, I..." Yun Yun looked at Lin Ming and said, gazing at the moonlight in the sky.

"Alright, let's just let this matter rest!" Lin Ming said in a calm tone, looking at Yun Yun who seemed hesitant to speak.

Lin Ming knew that what Yun Yun wanted to talk about was the matter of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King from today.

Lin Ming himself bore half the responsibility for this matter, so he couldn't entirely blame Yun Yun. Furthermore, Lin Ming was in a rather pleasant mood because of his deal with the Old Yao, so Lin Ming chose to let the matter pass.

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Yun Yun looked at Lin Ming and saw Lin Ming sincere expression. Knowing that Lin Ming words weren't sarcastic but genuine, Yun Yun's anxious expression gradually relaxed. Then, looking at Lin Ming, Yun Yun said, "Lin Ming, thank you so much this time!"

"Sect Master Yun, if you truly wish to express your gratitude, then grant me ten or eight scrolls of Earth Tier Cultivation Method! Of course, Dou Technique will suffice too!" As soon as Yun Yun finished speaking, Lin Ming's joking words rang out.

Upon hearing Lin Ming's words, not only was Yun Yun stunned, but even Xiao Yi Xian had the same expression as Yun Yun.

After all, Earth Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills are already extremely advanced within the Jia Ma Empire. Even Xiao Yi Xian, who has little cultivation, knows this, let alone Yun Yun.

So much so that Yun Yun rolled her eyes at Lin Ming and said with a playful tone, "Why don't you sell me and see if you can get an Earth Tier Dou Technique in return!"

"Haha! You are the Misty Cloud Sect Master. Even if I wanted to sell, there would have to be someone willing to buy!" Lin Ming said with a laugh upon hearing Yun Yun's words.

Lin Ming's words made everyone in the valley feel much more relaxed.

After a moment, Yun Yun casually asked, "Lin Ming, what are your plans for the future? Are you going to stay in the Monster Mountain Range or return to your family?"

"I will be returning to my family later, but I have some other matters to attend to right now." After Yun Yun finished speaking, Lin Ming looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said.

Upon receiving Lin Ming's reply, Yun Yun felt a pang of melancholy. However, with her Yun Yun Dou Emperor self-control, this melancholy didn't show on her face at all. So, after Lin Ming finished speaking, Yun Yun said calmly, "I've been out for quite some time now, and I'm going back to my sect tomorrow."

After Yun Yun finished speaking, Lin Ming said, "Alright! See you in the Imperial City then."

"Okay! See you in the Imperial City." Yun Yun replied immediately.

The night gradually faded away as the three figures shifted their positions.

As the first rays of sunlight shone down in the morning, one of the three adjacent figures suddenly sprouted wings on its back, and then, under the watchful eyes of the other two figures, instantly took off from the ground.

Reaching the lower edge of the clouds, Yun Yun turned her head to look down, then with a sigh, disappeared into the valley and among the clouds.

"Xiao Yi Xian, let's go! Let's cook!" Lin Ming said to Xiao Yi Xian after watching Yun Yun leave.

After Lin Ming finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian looked at Lin Ming and said, "Lin Ming, Sister Yun Yun gave me this yesterday before you returned, saying it was to thank me for treating her. But I think it would be more appropriate to give it to you."

After Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, Ju took out a piece of sea-blue scale soft armor from his Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Ming.

"This thing is useless to me. Besides, Yun Yun gave it to you, so Xiao Yi Xian, you should accept it! It's perfect for providing protection at this stage." Lin Ming said to Xiao Yi Xian, looking at the sea-blue scale armor in front of him.

"But..." Xiao Yi Xian spoke again upon hearing Lin Ming's words.

"Alright, take it! I'm hungry, I'm going to cook!" Lin Ming interrupted Xiao Yi Xian she spoke again.

After saying that, Lin Ming didn't give Xiao Yi Xian a chance to speak again, and got up and headed towards the wooden house.

Watching Lin Ming leave, Xiao Yi Xian had no choice but to retract her sea-blue scale armor. Afterward, Xiao Yi Xian headed straight for the wooden house.

After Yun Yun flew away, in a cave in a mountain stream in the Monster Mountain Range, a Black-robed Youth sat cross-legged on a stone platform with a furrowed brow.

Between the knees of the cross-legged youth lay a Black Scroll. Suddenly, the scroll extended automatically, revealing a pair of Purple Eagle Wings that appeared to be real.

Once the Purple Eagle Wings appeared, they resembled a soaring eagle, causing the scroll to float upwards until it stopped at the young man's shoulder.

After the scroll floated in mid-air, a faint connection was suddenly established with the young man in front of him. Under this connection, the Purple Eagle Wings on the scroll gradually detached from the scroll.

The moment the Purple Eagle Wings completely detached from the scroll, they burst forth with light. Then, carrying this light, the Purple Eagle Wings instantly disappeared into the young man's body.

"Out!" After the Purple Eagle Wings entered the young man's body, the young man, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his tightly closed eyes instantly, and a powerful voice rang out.

"Bang!"

As soon as the young man finished speaking, a whooshing sound rang out from behind him, and a pair of enormous Purple Eagle Wings instantly extended from his back.

Seeing the outstretched wings, the young man was overjoyed. Then, under his control, the huge eagle wings flapped, and he saw himself lift off the ground and arrive at the top of the cave.

Seeing the wings on his back pull him off the ground, the young man burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Haha, teacher, I've refined these Purple Cloud Wings!"

As the young man with wings on his back perched atop the cave, a phantom figure inside the cave also appeared with a satisfied smile.

After all, with these wings, whether for traveling or avoiding danger, they are far more effective than legs. Moreover, the next step is to go to the Snake Person Queen to seize the Heavenly Flames; with these wings, leaving after successfully obtaining the Heavenly Flames will be much more convenient.

So, after a long while, the illusory figure spoke in an aged voice, "Alright, come down! With your current amount of Dou Qi, you've almost reached your limit by now!"

Upon hearing the illusory figure's voice, the young man's figure instantly descended.

As the young man landed, his enormous wings gradually shrank. In just a moment, they shrank to the size of a palm, clinging to his back like a tattoo.
