The Great Battle in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Yun Yun's Misfortune (Seeking Follow-up Reads, Seeking Monthly Votes)

Looking at the gold coins piled in the corner of the stone chamber.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up.

She took light, brisk steps and began to wander around the room.

Finally.

Her graceful figure stopped in front of a flower bed.

"Purple Blue Leaf, Hundred Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Snow Lotus Seed..."

"And Ice Spirit Flame Grass!"

Gazing at the stalks of rare, high-grade medicinal herbs in the flower bed, her rosy lips parted involuntarily, her eyes filled with astonishment.

In particular, the red and white alternating blade of grass in the center of the bed made Little Fairy Doctor's pupils constrict, a sharp intake of cold air hissing through her teeth.

As a physician, she had absolutely no resistance to these herbs.

The moment she saw them, she couldn't suppress her restless heart and began to dive into the flower bed to dig and harvest them.

"Do these herbs really have such great appeal?" Seeing this scene, Xiao Ze couldn't help but grumble a few words.

He paid no mind to Little Fairy Doctor.

Instead, he cast his gaze upon the withered skeleton.

"Purifying Lotus Demon Flame remnant map..."

"This thing is a good item; I'll take it first."

"Whether I sell it later or give it to Xiao Yan to earn Trust Points, it's a solid choice."

Xiao Ze stepped forward.

After searching for a brief moment, he spotted the ancient, simple scroll wedged between the bones.

"Found it!" He reached out and pulled the ancient scroll out, took a glance, couldn't make heads or tails of it, and tossed it into his storage ring.

"Hey, stop worrying about those useless herbs."

"Hurry over here and see what good things are here!"

Xiao Ze turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor and, finding her still tirelessly digging up herbs, frowned and called her over.

"What is it! Can't you just take these things yourself?"

Little Fairy Doctor muttered a few words before reluctantly walking over.

Upon seeing the three stone boxes in front of the skeleton, she immediately became interested.

"Xiao Ze, open them quickly and see what good things are inside!"

Good things?

What kind of good things could there be?

Xiao Ze, who already knew what was inside, opened the stone boxes one by one.

A scroll of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.

A Xuan-tier high-grade flight Dou Technique: Eagle Wings.

A Xuan-tier high-grade Dou Technique: Mad Lion Roar.

"It's all trash, useless to me. You take them," Xiao Ze glanced at them indifferently and lost interest, instructing Little Fairy Doctor to pack them all away.

"This is... a Xuan-tier high-grade Dou Technique?" Little Fairy Doctor's eyes widened. "Xiao Ze, this is a Xuan-tier high-grade Dou Technique! And you don't even think much of it?"

She had lived in Green Mountain Town for so long and had only ever heard of the three major mercenary groups possessing Xuan-tier low-grade Dou Techniques—and even then, they treated them like precious treasures.

Not to mention a Xuan-tier high-grade Dou Technique; she hadn't even heard of such a thing.

"Look at how unambitious you are!" Xiao Ze said with disdain. "Do you even know what grade of cultivation technique the Heaven and Earth Poison Canon you are practicing is?"

"What grade?" Little Fairy Doctor asked casually.

"Heaven-tier intermediate!" Xiao Ze replied calmly.

"What?" Little Fairy Doctor's eyes widened, her mouth agape. "Hea, Heaven-tier?"

"You're saying the Heaven and Earth Poison Canon I'm practicing is a Heaven-tier technique?"

Her eyes were filled with shock, and she remained immersed in the astonishment of it being a "Heaven-tier technique."

"That's right!" Xiao Ze glanced at her and said, "Do you know how high a price I paid to get my hands on this technique?"

"Now that you know how precious it is, practice hard and strive to become a powerhouse!"

"It wouldn't be worth all my painstaking efforts for you otherwise!"

Xiao Ze raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, looking as if he were frustrated by her lack of drive.

"Hmph, I know!" Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her forehead, pouting in dissatisfaction.

"Alright, we've taken everything worth taking, so it's time to go."

The stone chamber was not large, and after the thorough looting, the room that had once been piled high with treasure and gold coins was now left with nothing but an empty, withered skeleton.

After taking everything that needed to be taken, Xiao Ze and Little Fairy Doctor left the cave dwelling and began their journey back to Green Mountain Town.

Green Mountain Town.

Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Ze returned from the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

After this round of harvesting, Little Fairy Doctor would likely not have to worry about medicinal herbs for a very long time.

Having safely escorted Little Fairy Doctor back, Xiao Ze set off once again, heading toward the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Five full days had passed since he last taught the Amethyst Winged Lion King a lesson; by his count, it was time to give it another one.

Just as he was heading toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range in high spirits, a thunderous boom suddenly erupted from the depths of the mountains, followed by two surging ripples of energy and the faint, violent roar of a lion.

Xiao Ze gazed toward the horizon and discovered that the sky over the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was saturated with cyan and red Dou Qi, creating a scene as spectacular as the destruction of the world.

Is this... the aura of the Amethyst Winged Lion King?

And the one fighting it... is another Dou Huang powerhouse?

Xiao Ze frowned, a look of gravity appearing on his face.

He had not expected a stranger of the Dou Huang level to be here.

Without further thought, he immediately flew toward the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was still useful to him; it could not die just like that!

Rushing as fast as he could, he finally arrived at the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

There, he saw the human and the beast confronting each other in the azure sky.

"Lion King, let's talk this over. Why must we resort to killing?"

"I merely wish to borrow a Purple Spirit Crystal. If the Lion King is dissatisfied, we can certainly negotiate!"

High in the sky, a stunningly beautiful woman stood with calm indifference.

A simple dress clung to her voluptuous frame, the exquisite curves revealing an air of grace and nobility that could not be concealed. Her beautiful face was serene, and her raven-black hair was styled into an elegant phoenix ornament.

She had cyan feathered wings sprouting from her back and held a sword radiating a cyan glow. A formidable aura spread across the mountains, causing countless magical beasts to flee in panic.

Hm? This is... Yun Yun? Xiao Ze was somewhat surprised. Why would she come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range?

According to the timeline, she shouldn't have appeared this early.

That was right!

The Dou Huang powerhouse appearing in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was none other than the current Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Yun.

Just as Xiao Ze wondered why Yun Yun was here, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, currently facing off against her, flew into a rage: "Damned human, you go too far! You want my Purple Spirit Crystal?"

"In your dreams! Today, I shall teach you a proper lesson!"

It roared, and from its hideous, massive maw, it spewed a ball of scorching purple flames. It glared at the woman in cyan, its sharp beastly eyes flickering with angry fire.

Do you really think that just because a lion doesn't show its might, I'm a sick cat?

Why does every single person dare to come and trouble me?

I couldn't beat that man, but surely I can handle a woman like you?

It was extremely furious. The beatings it had endured over the past month had suppressed a great deal of rage within it, and Yun Yun's appearance provided the perfect outlet for its frustration.

What? You say you only want to trade with me?

I don't care!

You'll let me vent my anger first!

"Damned human, take this!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King opened its massive mouth and spat a purple fireball toward Yun Yun. The temperature was so high that even the surrounding trees were vaporized.
