Azure Cloud Wings

After Chu Yang helped Yun Yun treat her injuries, although Yun Yun still could not bring herself to act intimately with him on the surface, her heart had already opened up to him.

After that, Chu Yang shamelessly stuck to her every day, and she unexpectedly could no longer drive away a man who casually approached her as she had before.

Chu Yang did not delay. He immediately made his stance clear to Yun Yun: he had originally wanted to persuade her to return to the Misty Cloud Sect. The Amethyst Winged Lion King's strength was no small matter, and if Yun Yun insisted on fighting it, she would be courting disaster. With his current strength, he could not help Yun Yun at all in battle. All he could do was try his best to stop this fight.

However, Yun Yun seemed determined to obtain the Purple Spirit Crystal from the Amethyst Winged Lion King and simply could not listen to Chu Yang's suggestion that he help her find a substitute.

In the end, Chu Yang had no choice but to agree on the surface to accompany her there. At the very least, if anything happened, they could look after one another.

With Chu Yang's level of strength, if he had not been a highly promising alchemist, why would Yun Yun have allowed him to tag along and get in the way?

But just as Yun Yun was preparing to set off and challenge the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Chu Yang told her that he needed to refine some medicine, then secretly slipped away.

He was not trying to leave Yun Yun. He was secretly going to find the Amethyst Winged Lion King himself.

Chu Yang wanted to have a talk with the Amethyst Winged Lion King. On one hand, it was naturally to prevent Yun Yun from getting hurt. On the other, he had a little selfish motive of his own—

Chu Yang knew that the Amethyst Winged Lion King possessed another treasure: the Companion Purple Crystal Source. It was an excellent treasure. If the future plot truly turned the Desert Queen, Medusa, into the infant form of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, then the Companion Purple Crystal Source would hold boundless temptation for that young Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, just like candy to a child.

Chu Yang thought that if he ever became entangled with Queen Medusa in the future, then when facing that gorgeous yet vicious woman, he would at least have something sweet to offer her so she would not simply swallow him whole.

Chu Yang followed the information Yun Yun had told him about the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair.

Even Yun Yun, a five-star Dou Huang, could not defeat the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Was Chu Yang going there to die?

Of course not. He wanted to negotiate terms with the Amethyst Winged Lion King and make it his friend in exchange for refining a Strength Advancement Pill for it.

It was said that only seventh-tier alchemists could refine a Strength Advancement Pill. Even Gu He, famed throughout the Jia Ma Empire, could not refine one, because Gu He was merely a sixth-tier alchemist.

Although Chu Yang himself knew that his current pill-refining ability was only comparable to that of a five-tier alchemist, the Medicine Emperor System was so mysterious and extraordinary that it could turn all impossibilities into possibilities!

Over this period of time, Chu Yang had already experienced this firsthand. For example, did the Qi Gathering Pill not surpass Gu He's Qi Gathering Powder?

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair was located atop a mountain deep within the Monster Mountain Range.

Yun Yun could spread the wings of a Dou Huang and fly there in no time.

But Chu Yang could not possibly walk there on his own two feet.

Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair was only a few mountain peaks away from where he was, the route was extremely dangerous.

When Chu Yang first secretly left Yun Yun, he naturally traveled on foot. But after walking for a while, he suddenly thought of the system shop!

He abruptly wanted to take a shortcut through it.

He knew that Xiao Yan would later obtain the Purple Cloud Wings, a flying tool. Although the Purple Cloud Wings could not compare to the Dou Qi wings formed by experts above the Dou Wang level, they were still far better than walking on two feet!

No matter how swift one was on foot, it could not compare to a light flap of wings in the sky. Even the greatest walkers had to use boats when they encountered rivers and other bodies of water, and they would be helpless before ravines.

But for someone with wings, none of that was a problem!

The system shop had every kind of treasure, and Chu Yang remembered that he currently had three thousand check-in points.

A flying tool like the Purple Cloud Wings should not be absurdly expensive, right? With that thought, Chu Yang immediately sent his consciousness into the system shop.

After searching around, he quickly found a flying tool similar to the Purple Cloud Wings: the Azure Cloud Wings.

The Azure Cloud Wings were azure-colored feathered wings, resembling the Dou Qi wings formed by Yun Yun, who cultivated wind-attributed Dou Qi.

There was no need to think about it. Chu Yang knew that this flying Dou artifact, the Azure Cloud Wings, was definitely better than the Purple Cloud Wings Xiao Yan would obtain in the future.

Azure Cloud Wings: two thousand check-in points.

His "budget" was enough. He currently had three thousand check-in points. After buying them, he would have one thousand left.

Although check-in points were far more valuable than Gold Coins, if he traveled on foot to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair, Chu Yang would not only have to endure hardship, but might also be unable to handle the dangers along the way.

After being abducted to the Monster Mountain Range by that mysterious cloaked man, Chu Yang had not had the chance to refine a batch of Dou Spirit Pills to raise himself, as though swallowing a Strength Advancement Pill, to the peak of the Dou Practitioner realm—seven-star Dou Practitioner.

After all, even with the Yellow Demon Puppet, the two of them might not be able to defeat magical beasts above the third tier. At most, they could defeat third-tier magical beasts comparable to human Dou Masters.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was a sixth-tier magical beast comparable to a human Dou Huang. Its combat strength even surpassed Yun Yun, a five-star Dou Huang. As the ruler of this region, not to mention the third-tier and higher magical beast underlings beneath it, Chu Yang would not dare provoke even those lesser beasts.

Therefore, Chu Yang feared that if he went to find the Amethyst Winged Lion King on foot, he would be killed by one of its lower-tier magical beasts before he even got to see it.

Thus, Chu Yang had to fly directly to meet the Amethyst Winged Lion King and use the condition of refining a seventh-tier medicinal pill, the Strength Advancement Pill, to persuade it.

Xiao Yan might have Old Yao to help him fly, but Chu Yang had to rely on himself for everything.

He immediately spent two thousand check-in points to buy the Azure Cloud Wings from the system shop. He had one thousand check-in points left, while he still had quite a few worldly Gold Coins obtained from the Xiao Clan and the Nalan Clan.

Chu Yang quickly learned how to use the Azure Cloud Wings.

Like the Purple Cloud Wings that shrank into Xiao Yan's body, the Azure Cloud Wings eventually shrank into Chu Yang's body as well.

When he needed them, the wings could spread open and turn him into a great flying bird. When he did not need them, they automatically shrank into something like a tattoo and appeared somewhere on his back. They were even more convenient than birds using their own wings.

Before long, Chu Yang spread the Azure Cloud Wings and flew toward the mountain where the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair was located. It was his first time flying, and he found it incredibly thrilling and novel.

It truly was much faster than walking, because traveling overland required so many detours: water had to be bypassed, ravines had to be bypassed...

But when flying, he could pass straight over all of them.

Very soon, Chu Yang's Azure Cloud Wings appeared in the skies near the mountain where the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair was located.
