Dawn broke.
In an open clearing on the mountain behind them.
Yun Ling held a Junior Soul Crystal, testing her attribute and form.
"Your attribute is lightning and fire, your Soul Sea has the form of crimson sun thunderclouds, and your initial soul force is sixty-three points. Not bad," Xiao Tianhao said with a nod.
He searched his mind carefully and found a suitable cultivation technique.
"Sister Yun, the Crimson Sun Heavenly Thunder Art is just right for you."
With that, he touched a finger to Yun Ling's forehead and transmitted the technique into her mind.
A vast, majestic voice rang out in Yun Ling's mind.
The phantom of a peerless expert appeared within it, cultivating while reciting the incantation.
Crimson flames refined the meridians; heavenly thunder tempered the dantian.
Where yin and yang joined in harmony, light arose within the violet palace.
Qi flowed in the winding forms of dragons and serpents; the spirit joined the ringing stars.
One thought shattered the cloud barrier, leaving the nine heavens free to roam...
Yun Ling's consciousness involuntarily sank into her mind, and she began cultivating along with that peerless expert.
Before long, a layer of red light rose over her body, then shifted to blue. The two energies alternated and fused together.
Seeing that Yun Ling had entered a cultivation state, Xiao Tianhao hopped onto a nearby boulder, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating.
As for Xiao Ning'er and the others, Xiao Tianhao had sent them to gather purple smoke stones.
Once refined, these stones could raise the rank of Gold-rank Demon Spirit Masters, though Xiao Ning'er was currently the only one who could use them.
Still, they could collect them and bring them back to Glory City to strengthen quite a few of its mid-level fighters. It took little effort anyway,
