Zi Yan's Imminent Breakthrough, Qin Yu Unbound

"Yes, I'll have someone prepare it as soon as possible."

Yun Yun accepted the Purple Spirit Crystal and nodded solemnly.

The last thing Qin Yu asked Yun Yun for was the ingredients for the Emperor's Extreme Pill.

Because he hadn't figured out what he could possibly want.

Or rather, what can the Misty Cloud Sect offer him?

"This time, I must thank Elder Hai for his help."

Yun Yun then turned to Hai Bo Dong and bowed slightly to thank him.

It has to be said, experience is the best teacher.

Although Hai Bo Dong's Dou Qi skills have not yet recovered to their peak, his combat methods and ruthlessness are clearly a notch above Yun Yun's.

"Haha, it's alright, it's a great fight!"

Hai Bo Dong casually waved his hand in response to Yun Yun's thanks.

After holding back for so many years, I finally got to relive that feeling again today.

"That old fellow Yun Shan is lucky to have a disciple like you."

"Elder Hai, you flatter me. It's a pity that my master has been in seclusion for several years and has not been able to meet with you to reminisce."

"Sister Yun Yun! What about me?! I also contributed!"

Just then, Zi Yan suddenly interrupted.

Yun Yun gently patted Zi Yan's head, a tender smile spreading across her face.

"Little Zi Yan is also very powerful; she managed to make the Amethyst Winged Lion King howl in pain."

Seeing Zi Yan, Yun Yun couldn't help but think of the little girl named Qing Lin.

It's been so long since I've seen him; I wonder how that child is doing now.

"Hehe, of course, my fists are very hard."

Zi Yan proudly raised her little fist.

Although they had only spent a few days together, Yun Yun's mature feminine tenderness was absolutely irresistible to Zi Yan.

Especially when Yun Yun was being unreasonable, the tolerance and doting she showed towards Zi Yan made Zi Yan want to call Yun Yun" Mom" if they hadn't spent so little time together.

It turns out that Zi Yan is also a junior from Wajia.

"Ugh... Sister Yun Yun, now that you're leaving, I'm going to fall into the hands of that devil Qin Yu again."

When it was time to leave, Zi Yan clung to Yun Yun with lingering reluctance, inhaling the refreshing fragrance emanating from her.

"Oh? So you have a lot of opinions about me?"

"No, how could that be! Everyone knows we're the best of friends in the world!"

Seeing Zi Yan standing at attention, Yun Yun couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"How about I prepare an extra dose of the ingredients for the Emperor's Extreme Pill for you, so you can take better care of Little Zi Yan?"

This was the first time in the past few days that Yun Yun had discussed an additional topic with Qin Yu.

Perhaps Yun Yun felt that what she had said a few days ago was too embarrassing, because these past few days Yun Yun has been hesitant when speaking to Qin Yu.

"Waaah... Sister Yun Yun, you're so wonderful! I want to be your sister for life!"

Yun Yun smiled gently and accepted Zi Yan's address of "elder sister".

She was completely unaware that she had unknowingly gained an incredibly awesome younger sister.

"I haven't been abusing you, why are you making such a fuss?"

Zi Yan and Yun Yun argued for a while longer before Yun Yun finally managed to break free and leave.

After Yun Yun left, Qin Yu and the others continued their journey towards Wutan City.

Qin Yu's purpose in returning this time was simply to hand over the information about the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils to Qing Lin.

So along the way, everyone was running at full speed, with the speed set to the highest gear.

"By the way, Qin Yu, could you perhaps refine a few more pills for me during this time?"

"What's wrong?"

Zi Yan hadn't mentioned the pills for a long time.

The fact that it was mentioned so suddenly today, could it be...?

"I feel like I should be able to advance to the Dou Emperor level soon."

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, both Hai Bo Dong and Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian is alright, after all, they've spent so much time together.

But the people of Hai Bo Dong were completely bewildered.

How could the Dou Huang Realm, which he had spent half his life trying to reach, be described by this girl as an ordinary threshold that she could cross at will?

Is breaking through to the Dou Emperor really that simple?

Hai Bo Dong fell into deep self-doubt.

"No problem, but it must take you quite a while to advance to the Dou Emperor, right?"

Qin Yu had just agreed when he suddenly remembered that in the original story, it took Zi Yan nearly half a year to advance to the Dou Emperor level.

Now that I've gotten involved, I've brought forward the timeline for this girl to advance to the Dou Emperor quite a bit, but it seems there's no way to avoid it for the next six months.

"That's true. I reckon it'll take at least six months."

"How about I stay?"

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward and said with a wry smile:

"Anyway, with my current strength, following you would only be a hindrance."

"With Senior Hai Bo Dong here, you can rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's eye twitched slightly, almost unnaturally.

"Zi Yan needs a quiet place to break through, doesn't she?"

"Besides, I haven't seen Qing Lin in a long time. She's started cultivating, so she needs someone familiar by her side, right?"

Xiao Yi Xian noticed Qin Yu's hesitation and pressed on, launching into a full-blown argument and spouting nonsense. Not only Qin Yu, but even Hai Bo Dong was completely bewildered.

So, in a daze, Qin Yu agreed to Xiao Yi Xian's request to stay.

"Now you're free to do whatever you want."

Qin Yu sighed and didn't say anything more, but gave Xiao Yi Xian a copy of the route he had planned in advance to Gemer Volcano.

"Alright, if you haven't returned by the time Zi Yan advances, we'll set off to find you, okay?"

The remaining time was for Qin Yu to explain the matter of Xiao Yi Xian to Hai Bo Dong.

When Hai Bo Dong learned that the seemingly delicate girl in front of him actually possessed Woeful Poison Body, he gasped in shock.

Who are these people surrounding Qin Yu?

Is one normal?

That's true; it seems like normal people wouldn't get along with Qin Yu.

"Don't worry, now that I've accepted your favor, I'll definitely take responsibility for protecting your people."

"Brother Dong is righteous!"

Qin Yu gave a thumbs up, saying that Hai Bo Dong was a decent person to work with.

Besides fearing Heavenly Flames, extreme cold can also effectively suppress the Woeful Poison Body.

However, it's not good to let it go on for too long, unless you're like the Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley, whose original Dou Qi is Ice Attribute and Woeful Poison Body is something he created later.

"Let me think..."

Qin Yu fell into deep thought.

Since you're leaving alone, you should take care of everything before you go.

"This is... the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower?"

Just as Qin Yu was searching through his collection in his Storage Ring, a familiar little flower caught his attention.

The Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower were medicinal herbs he obtained from the Jia Nan Academy's Medicinal Materials Vault. They could be used to refine a top-tier sixth-grade pill, the Yin-Yang Suppression of Calamity Pill.

However, at that time his Alchemy had not yet reached the sixth rank, so the medicinal herb remained in his Storage Ring.

Qin Yu later collected all the other medicinal materials for the Yin-Yang Suppression of Calamity Pill from the Jia Nan Academy's Medicinal Materials Vault.

Now it seems...

They can now come in handy.
