Facing a Third Tier Magical Beast

Kuang Tang was overjoyed, and his attitude grew even more respectful.

Never mind that there were dozens of Fourth Grade Alchemists in the Jiama Empire; there truly were only a handful who could refine the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.

As a Fourth Grade Peak Pill, the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill could rival a Fifth Grade Pill.

To put it bluntly, a Fourth Grade Alchemist capable of refining a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill was not far from becoming a Fifth Grade Alchemist.

Xiao Yan had been able to refine one at the Alchemist Grand Meeting largely because of luck. Otherwise, with his attainments at the time, even with the aid of Heavenly Flames, he would not have been able to refine it.

Moreover, refining this pill was extremely demanding. It required the mutual conversion of three types of flame, and the alchemist had to possess extraordinarily strong fire control.

In the entire Jiama Empire, the number of alchemists who could refine a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill, including Gu He and Fa Ma, definitely did not exceed ten.

Kuang Tang gained a new understanding of Su Yun's Alchemy Technique.

For Su Yun to be able to refine a Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill at his current age, it might even be possible for him to break through to Fifth Grade Alchemist in ten years.

Kuang Tang felt extremely fortunate about his actions during this period.

Although he had failed to recruit him, a single Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill was enough to recoup the cost. More importantly, he had formed a bond of goodwill with this future Fifth Grade Alchemist. That was what mattered most.

Kuang Tang accepted the sheepskin scroll.

"Many thanks, Master Han."

Su Yun nodded. It really was convenient speaking with smart people.

With the matter settled, Su Yun did not linger long at Mitel Auction House and returned home.

"Brother Su Yun."

An ethereal, crisp voice echoed through the air.

Xiao Yi Xian wore a plain white dress, a faint smile on her cheeks. Joy rippled in her watery eyes, and her whole body carried a fresh, otherworldly air.

Although he had always treated Xiao Yi Xian as a younger sister, her actual age was one year older than his.

It was just that Su Yun was taller, so they had always addressed each other as brother and sister.

Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and hugged Su Yun.

Su Yun patted Xiao Yi Xian's little head, a trace of awkwardness flashing through his eyes.

Even in his previous life, twelve-year-old girls had already begun developing. On this Douqi Continent, with the nourishment of Dou Qi, that development came even earlier.

The current Xiao Yi Xian was already like a lotus bud just showing its tip.

In Su Yun's arms, Xiao Yi Xian carefully felt that warm aura and did not want to part for a long time.

Su Yun had overlooked one thing: girls matured earlier mentally as well...

The current Xiao Yi Xian was precisely at the stage where her first feelings of love were beginning to awaken.

A trace of reluctance flashed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, but she still left Su Yun's embrace.

"It's noon. I'll go cook first. Brother Su Yun, wait a little."

As she spoke, Xiao Yi Xian turned and ran off.

Su Yun watched Xiao Yi Xian from behind, and his gaze could not help drifting to her waist. Her slender, willow-like waist was bound by a green sash, so narrow it seemed barely enough to fill one hand, making one unable to resist wanting to reach out and feel its slender fragility.

Su Yun abruptly shook his head. This was way too criminal.

Before long, Xiao Yi Xian brought all the dishes over.

Xiao Yi Xian first filled a bowl for Su Yun, then served herself.

The two sat facing each other like that. The food was nothing more than ordinary home cooking, yet it gave one an indescribable warmth.

Su Yun was somewhat emotional. His days really were getting more and more prison-sentence-worthy.

That night, Su Yun had just finished cultivating and was planning to wash up and rest when his expression suddenly sharpened.

Something was coming.

He had been cultivating the Soul Art for some time now, so his Soul Power had naturally risen along with it, and his perception had become much more sensitive.

Su Yun told Xiao Yi Xian to hide herself and not come out, then walked out the front door alone.

His house was remote and close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so it was naturally unavoidable that Magical Beasts would occasionally run out from the mountains to cause trouble.

This had happened before, but they had all been First or Second Tier Magical Beasts. With Su Yun's strength, he had naturally let Xiao Yi Xian cook them all and eat them.

"Roar!"

A tiger appeared in Su Yun's line of sight. It was a Violent Wind Tiger.

Judging by its build, it should already be fully grown and had already become a Third Tier Magical Beast.

Su Yun was somewhat surprised. Third Tier Magical Beasts were extremely rare in the outer reaches of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. He had not encountered one even during the period he had stayed in the mountains before.

Let alone one running out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range to look for food.

Su Yun narrowed his eyes. But this was perfect. He could use it for practice.

After breaking through to Da Dou Shi, he had yet to fight anyone, so his hands were inevitably a little itchy.

"Roar!"

The Violent Wind Tiger let out an angry roar and charged toward Su Yun.

This type of Magical Beast excelled at speed. Its speed was even faster than that of a wind-attribute Dou Zhe. An ordinary Da Dou Shi, if they had not cultivated a Movement Dou Technique, would mostly only be left eating dust behind it.

Su Yun was clearly not among that number. Previously, he had consumed Magic Cores and mastered a tiny little number of Dou Techniques; naturally, there were Movement Dou Techniques among them.

The distance between man and beast grew closer and closer. The Violent Wind Tiger's foreclaws reached forward, and just as it was about to pounce onto Su Yun, Su Yun's figure suddenly vanished.

By the time Su Yun appeared again, he was already fifty meters behind the Violent Wind Tiger.

"Mysterious Shadow Steps" was a Mysterious Tier Middle Grade Movement Dou Technique.

After mastering it, it could significantly increase the cultivator's speed and was suited for dodging and shifting within a small area. Once cultivated to mastery, it was silent and soundless when used, and its speed could rise another level.

A longsword appeared in Su Yun's hand. It was the First Tier Magic Core sword Su Yun had used before.

Of course, it was now already a Third Tier Magic Core sword.

It had been created by Su Yun using the system's Fusion Function to fuse a Third Tier ice-attribute Magic Core with the longsword.

He had named it Cold Jade.

In his previous life, Su Yun had also had a wuxia dream: with a longsword in hand, roaming unhindered through the jianghu, what a joy that would be.

Now that he had the conditions, of course he had to fulfill that dream.

Ice Shattering Jade!

The instant Cold Jade Sword appeared in Su Yun's hand, Su Yun immediately poured Dou Qi into it and used a Dou Technique.

Nine icy sword auras attacked the Violent Wind Tiger from different angles, sealing off all its escape routes.

Cold light flickered over the sword auras, and wisps of white mist rose in the air.

Without a doubt, once the icy sword auras struck the Violent Wind Tiger, the speed it was so proud of would be greatly reduced.

The sword auras were extremely fast. Only after they entered within three feet of the Violent Wind Tiger did it react.

The Violent Wind Tiger let out another roar and, relying on instinct, charged in one direction.

Although Third Tier Magical Beasts did not yet possess very high intelligence, the instincts they had as Magical Beasts were already extremely powerful.

This choice was perfect. The nine icy sword auras had already completely sealed off its retreat, so no matter what, it would be hit.

Since that was the case, it was better to charge in one direction. That way, it could still dodge several sword auras, which was better than staying in place and being struck by all of them.

Sure enough, of the nine sword auras, only four struck it.

The Violent Wind Tiger howled in pain. Su Yun had already cultivated Ice Shattering Jade to mastery, and the power of each sword aura was extraordinary. The areas struck were left with wounds as deep as three feet.

Before the Violent Wind Tiger could even catch its breath, Su Yun vanished once more and appeared at its side.
