In this secluded little valley, after more than ten days, it had gradually begun to feel inhabited.
Lei Qi had genuinely been cultivating these past few days. Although he had nearly crossed Cao Ying's twin peaks to assault her three caves, he ultimately stopped in his tracks.
There was no helping it. She was simply too immature.
Lei Qi felt that if he made even the slightest move, Cao Ying might break.
As for the Little Fairy Doctor?
That was even more impossible. Right now, she was gathering poison within her body. She was far too unstable at this time; if she received Lei Qi's output, she would definitely explode on the spot.
Thus, under these circumstances, he naturally cultivated instead.
With the boost from the Fallen Heart Flame, Lei Qi's cultivation speed had naturally increased by several times.
The Fallen Heart Flame truly deserved its reputation as a cultivation cheat.
Ever since the mutated Black Demon Lightning fused with the Fallen Heart Flame, it had become rather well-behaved, without releasing any major fluctuations. Moreover, as he cultivated, the toughness of his body continued to grow.
Compared to Magical Beasts, humanity's disadvantage lay in the toughness of their bodies. Clearly, Lei Qi's physique had already surpassed that of some Magical Beasts with middling bloodlines.
No matter how strong his output was, he still needed the chance to use it.
"Crackle, crackle."
"Crackle, crackle."
The Black Demon Lightning flickered irregularly around Lei Qi's body, appearing and vanishing, while his Dou Qi continued to rise.
At this rate, he believed that within one or two months, he would advance to a three-star Dou Huang.
The Heavenly Flame had not directly raised him to the next level, but the flame itself contained the energy of heaven and earth. Without a cultivation method like the Flame Mantra, which specifically absorbed Heavenly Flames, he could not obtain it all at once. Instead, he could only absorb it gradually in installments.
"Roar!!!"
In the quiet little valley, everyone carried on with their own tasks each day. But on this day, a violent energy fluctuation and a wild lion's roar suddenly exploded through the sky like muffled thunder.
As the violent lion's roar came from afar, Yang Ji and Zhang Yi paid it no heed.
Judging from the sound alone, they could tell that the other party was nothing impressive.
Yet at that moment, Lei Qi emerged from his room.
"Young Master." x5
When they saw Lei Qi appear, the five of them simultaneously clasped their fists in salute.
"Zhang Yi, come with me and take a look. Yang Ji, stay here and protect them," Lei Qi instructed after coming out.
"Yes." x2
Cao Ying had actually wanted to go as well, but Lei Qi did not even pause. After giving his orders, he spread his wings and left directly.
Zhang Yi followed closely behind.
Very soon, Lei Qi and Zhang Yi arrived in the azure sky. When they were not far from the area, Zhang Yi suddenly said, "Young Master, it seems there are other people here."
"Oh?"
Lei Qi paused. Naturally, he knew there were others.
They had to be Xiao Yan, possessed by Medicine Elder, and Ling Ying.
"There are two Dou Huang auras. One should cultivate a dark attribute, while the other's soul should be very powerful," Zhang Yi said.
"No need to mind them," Lei Qi said.
"Yes."
It was easy to hide themselves from Ling Ying, but as for Medicine Elder, who possessed a Heaven Realm soul, Lei Qi was not entirely certain.
Still, he had nothing to hide.
To put it bluntly, had he not come here for Yun Yun?
Meanwhile.
Several dozen meters beyond the aerial battlefield, Xiao Yan stood atop a towering tree, gazing into the sky.
At that moment, Medicine Elder's voice sounded. "Other powerful experts are approaching."
"Are they coming for us?" Xiao Yan froze, looking somewhat like he had a persecution complex.
"Probably not." Medicine Elder shook his head, then guessed, "They should be young masters from some great faction, training in the vicinity?"
In truth, Medicine Elder was already certain that their origins could not be simple. After all, there was a Dou Zun and a Dou Huang!
A Dou Zun!
Even in Central Plains, such a person could walk sideways.
What he could not understand was why they had appeared in such a "small place."
Lei Qi and Zhang Yi had already appeared not far from the aerial battlefield. Upon arriving, Zhang Yi used clouds and mist to conceal their figures.
Lei Qi also spotted the Magical Beast and the woman there.
Naturally, his gaze settled on the woman.
The woman in the sky wore a plain dress that wrapped around her curvaceous, delicate body. She held a somewhat unusual long sword that emitted a cyan glow. Her black hair was pinned into an elegant phoenix-shaped coiffure. Her beautiful, moving face was calm and serene. Even while facing the overlord of this Magical Beast territory, her emotions did not fluctuate much.
Thinking about it, without some strength, how would she dare come here?
On the woman's serene and beautiful face was an air of grace and nobility that even her plain clothing could not conceal.
Tsk.
For a Dou Huang from such a "small place" to possess this kind of bearing was not too surprising.
Lei Qi suppressed the stirring in his heart and did not reveal himself. Between a woman with the strength of a Dou Huang and a woman whose Dou Qi was sealed, the latter was clearly easier to win over.
He could have gone out and taken her directly. Setting everything else aside, just his identity and the faction behind him were enough that the tiny Cloud Sect would not dare resist. But doing so would seem rather tasteless.
After all, this woman truly existed. If he did that, he might only get a few satisfying meals out of it.
He was still rather greedy.
"Human woman, why have you come to disturb this King's rest?" In the sky, the enormous Purple Crystal Winged Lion King suddenly bellowed in human speech.
This big lion was extremely arrogant, clearly not taking a Dou Huang expert seriously.
But how could it know that, at this very moment, it was being broadcast live?
There were three locations waiting to watch the battle.
"I wish to borrow the Lion King's Purple Spirit Crystal!" Yun Yun's beautiful eyes stared at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. Her red lips parted slightly, and her calm voice was as crisp and pleasant as pearls falling onto a jade plate.
"Purple Spirit Crystal? Our Purple Crystal Winged Lion race can only shed a small piece from our bodies once every twenty years. Do you think you can simply ask for it and have it?" the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King mocked.
"I can offer something of equal value in exchange," Yun Yun said sincerely.
"Fine. Then use a Transformation Pill to exchange for it," the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King immediately stated his condition.
The moment Yun Yun heard the condition proposed by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, she understood that it simply did not want to give her the Purple Spirit Crystal and was deliberately making things difficult.
Not to mention that she did not have one—even if she did, how could she possibly exchange a seventh-tier medicinal pill for a piece of Purple Spirit Crystal?
And once negotiations broke down, a fierce battle was naturally unavoidable.
