28: Yun Yun: Young people, don't be too arrogant. You are fighting

Chapter 28 Yun Yun: Young man, do not be too arrogant... You, are you a Dou Zong?

"Thank you for saving me just now..."

A sincere word of thanks came from Yun Yun's mouth.

However, Yun Yun was still curious as to why a young man like Gu Fei would enter the dangerous depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone for training.

At this moment, Gu Fei had restrained his aura and had not revealed his strength.

If Yun Yun were to know, she would probably drop her jaw in shock.

Yun Yun sized up Gu Fei from head to toe, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.

[Yun Yun feels doubt, emotion value 100]

"Strange, what is his Realm? Why can't I see it at all?"

Yun Yun rubbed her forehead, her brows slightly furrowed.

She guessed that it might be due to the Seal, which caused her discernment ability to decline.

"Are you an Alchemist?"

Yun Yun asked, having heard that her injuries had recovered after taking a Medicinal Pill.

"Mm..."

Gu Fei nodded, directly admitting it.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun immediately became interested. So young, and an Alchemist! He definitely has a boundless future!

"Little one, you saved me. In the future, I can introduce you to a Great Master Alchemist, which will surely be of great help to you..."

Yun Yun thought of Pill King Gu He, with whom she had a good relationship.

Today, she had received such a great kindness from Gu Fei, and she would repay him in the future.

Introducing him to Pill King Gu He would be a way to repay this kindness.

One must know that Pill King Gu He was a sixth-Rank Alchemist, considered top-tier in the Jia Ma Empire.

"No need!"

Gu Fei shook his head with a smile.

With Yun Yun's knowledge, the highest-Rank Alchemist she knew was none other than the sixth-Rank Alchemist known as Pill King Gu He.

However, Gu Fei was already a seventh-Rank Alchemist. Why would he need Gu He's guidance?

If Gu He knew of his alchemy abilities, he would be the one requesting guidance from Gu Fei.

Seeing Gu Fei refuse, Yun Yun did not press the matter further but changed the subject: "By the way, I forgot to ask your name..."

"Gu Fei..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun was stunned. She had not expected the young man before her to share the same surname as Pill King Gu He!

"Gu surname?"

Through this surname, she wondered if Gu Fei had some connection to Gu He.

After all, both were Alchemists; it seemed unlikely they were unrelated.

"What is your relationship with Pill King Gu He?"

Yun Yun asked curiously.

"No relation at all..."

Gu Fei said indifferently.

"Alright, it seems I was overthinking it!"

Yun Yun smiled, a little embarrassed.

"I overheard from a distance that you came for the Lion King's purple spirit crystal. You must intend to refine some Medicinal Pill with it, right..."

Gu Fei asked.

"Mm, but the Lion King was unwilling to exchange, so I had no choice but to seize it by force. However, I was caught off guard and injured by the Lion King's innate Seal technique."

Yun Yun nodded, her body still throbbing faintly.

Mentioning the purple spirit crystal, he, who was familiar with the original work in his previous life, naturally knew about it, so he casually said:

"If I'm not mistaken, purple spirit crystal can generally be used to refine Amethyst Pill, which enhances the Realm of a Great Dou Master. Are you refining Amethyst Pill?"

"Indeed..."

Yun Yun was startled. She hadn't expected Gu Fei to know so much.

[Yun Yun feels shock, emotion value +100]

She was indeed going to refine a Spirit Pill for her disciple, Nalan Yanran.

"You are so young, what is your purpose in coming to the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

Yun Yun finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked.

Gu Fei didn't play coy and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

"Actually, I came here this time to subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount... The purple spirit crystal is very important to the Amethyst Lion King lineage. If he is unwilling to exchange it, you should not seize it by force. Moreover, with your strength, you cannot defeat the Lion King..."

Next, Gu Fei's words left Yun Yun somewhat stunned.

She couldn't believe what her ears had heard.

"This young man actually said he wants to subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King as a mount, I didn't mishear him, did I!"

Yun Yun was greatly shocked in her heart. That was a sixth-Rank Yao Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

[Yun Yun feels shock, emotion value +100]

Yun Yun's shock was well hidden, but Gu Fei easily detected it through the System prompts.

He smiled faintly.

"Heh heh, just a sixth-Rank Demonic Beast, what's there to be so surprised about?"

Gu Fei wasn't surprised by Yun Yun's astonishment, but responded with a faint smile.

At this moment, Gu Fei habitually restrained his aura, and coupled with the fact that he hadn't revealed his cultivation aura because he found it troublesome to avoid the Amethyst Winged Lion King's pursuit earlier, Yun Yun felt that he was exaggerating a bit.

How could this young man's tone be so arrogant?

However, Gu Fei was too lazy to explain further and slowly walked towards the outside of the cave.

Seeing Gu Fei walk out, Yun Yun, whose injuries had recovered somewhat due to the Medicinal Pill, also followed him out.

At this moment, outside the cave, there was chaos, filled with the roars of Demonic Beasts.

Just now, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, unable to find Yun Yun's whereabouts, had its beast horn half-severed and was still in pain. His terrifying roar echoed throughout half of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Many low-Rank Demonic Beasts trembled in fear at his roar, wishing they could hide back in their nests, but they were forced out by the Lion King and had no choice but to search the surroundings for Yun Yun's whereabouts.

In the original work, after Xiao Yan rescued Yun Yun, he was unable to shield Yun Yun's aura in the cave due to his lack of strength.

In the end, he could only scatter some odor-masking medicinal powder outside the cave.

And because those low-Rank Demonic Beasts did not search diligently, they managed to muddle through and cover it up.

However, Gu Fei didn't need to do any of that. His strength allowed him to directly shield Yun Yun's aura from leaking out.

But now that he was out, he did not help Yun Yun conceal her aura.

Therefore, shortly after Yun Yun came out of the cave this time, her aura attracted a large number of Demonic Beasts.

Yun Yun then reacted, her expression slightly changing: "Oh no, these Demonic Beasts are the Lion King's subordinates. They've smelled my aura. It seems I'm going to implicate you... I'm truly sorry."

[Yun Yun feels guilt, emotion value +100]

In her opinion, Gu Fei was very weak. Although she was a Dou Shi (Battle Master), she hadn't fully recovered and might not be able to protect Gu Fei well.

Clearly, at this moment, Yun Yun still thought Gu Fei was boasting just now.

However, in the next moment, Yun Yun watched as Gu Fei directly soared into the air.

There was nothing behind him.

Unlike Yun Yun, who had to rely on Dou Qi wings to fly, Gu Fei stood in the sky like this, his expression calm, without needing any leverage whatsoever.

Yun Yun was stunned.

[Yun Yun feels shock, emotion value +100]

"This is, a Dou Zong?"

Such an incredible term popped into her head, and a rare look of surprise appeared on Yun Yun's usually calm face.

Could a young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old actually possess such strength?

Even if Yun Yun was considered exceptionally talented in this Jia Ma Empire.

She was an existence many looked up to.

But Gu Fei's extremely powerful talent far exceeded her imagination.
