Parting

"Who is he?" Yun Yun asked, looking at Xiao Yan, who had been scared unconscious from being carried through the air earlier and was still lying on the ground, not yet recovered.

"My good brother, Yan Xiao. I ran into him on the road just now, so I went into the cave with him to look for things. This is the Amethyst Spirit Crystal you wanted." Xiao Tian gave Xiao Yan's favorite little alias, then took out the Amethyst Spirit Crystal and handed it over.

Yun Yun reached out to take the Amethyst Spirit Crystal. Xiao Tian took the chance to stroke Yun Yun's soft, smooth hand. Yun Yun glared at him "fiercely," thinking, What a wicked little scoundrel. He takes advantage the moment he gets the chance.

"I've gotten what I came for, so I'm leaving. If you ever go to Gama Holy City in the future, you can visit the Misty Cloud Sect. Also, Jiang Feng, take this." Yun Yun's jade-like hand moved slightly, and a set of pale-blue Inner Armor appeared in her hand. It was precisely the Heart of the Sea Armor Yun Yun had worn before. "It was made from a strange metal produced inside the belly of a sixth-rank sea magical beast, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale. Its defensive power depends on its owner's strength."

"Since it's something you're giving me, and close-fitting Inner Armor at that, I'll accept it." Xiao Tian took the Heart of the Sea Armor.

"Then I'll give you something too. I picked it up in some ruins. It's Wind Attribute, so I can't use it. Take it." A green scroll appeared in Xiao Tian's hand. It was the Storm Art rewarded by the system. "This is a Wind Attribute Earth Rank Middle Grade Cultivation Method, the Storm Art. It also has a matching Dou Skill inside, Wind Blade Dance. Keep it."

"A cultivation method with a matching Dou Skill, and Earth Rank Middle Grade at that... it's too precious. I can't take it." Yun Yun refused with a wave of her hand without even thinking.

"No matter how precious it is, it's not as precious as you. This cultivation method will be very useful to you. By cultivating it, your strength will rise faster, and you'll be able to protect yourself better. I never take back what I give away. If you don't want it, then throw it away." Xiao Tian directly stuffed the scroll into Yun Yun's hand.

Xiao Tian's words, No matter how precious it is, it's not as precious as you, deeply touched Yun Yun's heart.

"Yun Zhi." Looking at Yun Yun in a daze, Xiao Tian stepped forward, directly hugged her, and kissed her on the lips.

Yun Yun came back to herself. She struggled symbolically for a moment, then let Xiao Tian do as he wished.

After kissing for a while, Xiao Tian let go of Yun Yun. "Consider this the interest on the cultivation method."

"You wicked scoundrel. I'm leaving." Yun Yun hurriedly displayed her Dou Qi Wings and flew away unsteadily.

Watching Yun Yun fly away, he shouted in her direction, "Although your injury has healed, it left a scar. Remember to find some Scar Removal Medicine when you get back. It'd be such a pity to leave a scar."

"Get lost! I don't need you to care!" Yun Yun's delicate shout came from the distance.

"Hahaha~~~"

"Tian Ge, she's already gone. Give me a hand. I'm still dizzy." Xiao Yan, at the side, suddenly spoke up and interrupted Xiao Tian.

"Xiao Yanzi, you're way too weak. You still haven't recovered even now?"

"You were flown while being held. I was flown while being carried like luggage. How can that be the same? Speaking of which, you're way too fierce, aren't you? You even dared chase a Dou Emperor, and you actually succeeded."

"Aiya, average, just average. Living off women is my specialty." Xiao Tian laughed smugly.

"Does Xun Er know?" Xiao Yan said with a face full of smiles.

There was a smack.

Xiao Tian slapped Xiao Yan on the head, letting Xiao Yan feel his older brother's love. "You know too much, Xiao Yanzi~"

"Tian Ge, do you have any other Earth Rank Middle Grade Cultivation Technique and Dou Skill? Di Tier Low Grade works too. Just casually give your little brother a few books, and I'll help you keep it secret." Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together and said.

Just as Xiao Tian was about to speak, Xiao Yan suddenly curled up in pain. His whole body turned black, and his mouth sprayed out scorching-hot air.

Xiao Tian reached out and touched Xiao Yan. "What tyrannical power. It should be the energy from the Amethyst Source he swallowed earlier."

Looking at Xiao Yan collapsed on the ground, Xiao Tian's own strength still wasn't enough to help him regulate it. "Mister Yao Lao, if you still don't make a move, your disciple might not make it through."

Hearing Xiao Tian's voice, Yao Lao appeared and looked at Xiao Tian in shock, a trace of danger flashing through his eyes. "How do you know about me?"

"Let's not worry about that for now. Deal with the energy in Xiao Yan's body first."

"Mm."

Xiao Tian took a few steps back, making room for Yao Lao.

Yao Lao used his own Soul Power to help Xiao Yan regulate the Dou Qi running wildly through him. After some time, Xiao Yan's Aura gradually stabilized, and his realm also broke through to Nine Star Dou Zhe.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who was still unconscious, Yao Lao came to Xiao Tian's side. "Now, let's talk."

"May I ask what guidance Venerable Yao has for me?" Xiao Tian asked with narrowed eyes and a smile.

"You know my identity? You're not afraid I'll kill you?" Yao Lao said threateningly.

"Yao Lao, there's no need for you to put on that look. As the dignified Venerable Yao, I still trust your character quite a bit. Besides, we have the same enemy. I believe Yao Lao also knows the general background of our clan. In the future, we'll have many chances to cooperate. I'll have to trouble Senior Yao Lao to take good care of Xiao Yanzi." Xiao Tian directly gave Yao Lao a reassurance pill.

"I'll believe you for now. My intuition tells me it would be very dangerous to attack you. I hope you can bring me a surprise. Your talent is very good. Don't waste it." Yao Lao took a deep look at Xiao Tian, left those words behind, then drilled back into the Storage Ring.

As for unexpectedly laying everything out and meeting Yao Lao ahead of time this time, Xiao Tian didn't feel anything much about it. They would have to meet sooner or later anyway, and judging from Yao Lao's style of doing things, he was not some evil person. Meeting earlier meant everyone could be clear with each other earlier.

Seeing that Xiao Yan still had not woken up, Xiao Tian sat down nearby and continued cultivating, waiting for Xiao Yan to wake.

At dusk, Xiao Yan woke from his coma. He stood up and shook his head, feeling a sense of fullness throughout his body.

"Since you're awake, I'll get ready to leave. Also, this is for you. Remember, you owe me again. If you get anything good in the future, remember to share some with me. Hahaha." Xiao Tian tossed a Black Scroll in Xiao Yan's direction, displayed his Thunder Peng Wings, rose into the air, and swiftly flew away.

Xiao Yan reached out and caught the scroll Xiao Tian had thrown down. Written on it were the words: Mystic Rank High Grade Flying Dou Skill: Eagle Wings.

Xiao Yan sighed. "I owe Tian Ge more and more. I might not even be able to repay it all in this lifetime. Something feels off. Very off. Nine parts out of ten are off."

"Yan Er, this is an extremely precious thing. Even Earth Rank Dou Skills may not necessarily compare to it. Your strength also turned misfortune into blessing because of the Amethyst Source," Yao Lao appeared and said to Xiao Yan.

After leaving Xiao Yan, Xiao Tian arrived near Green Mountain Town and landed, then put away his wings.

Walking once again through Green Mountain Town, it was still bustling with people. As he listened to the noise around him, he suddenly heard a conversation between two people. When Xiao Tian heard a familiar name, his steps paused.

"Have you heard? They say Xiao Yi Xian discovered a Cave Dwelling treasure, and there were Mystic Rank cultivation methods inside. Xiao Yi Xian took everything."

"I also heard that when the treasure was discovered, Young Wolf Head Leader Mu Li was there too, but he was killed by Xiao Yi Xian. Not a single person who went out with her came back."
