36: From now on, I can help you with any elixir you want.

“Alright then, prepare yourself these next few days. We’ll leave together when the time comes.”

Gu Fei reached out and stroked Xiao Yi Xian’s head, his eyes showing a tenderness he had never displayed since his divorce from Xun'er in the Ancient World.

[Xiao Yi Xian feels shy, emotional value +100]

She secretly glanced at Gu Fei, her eyes filled with a radiant smile… In the border region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

“Eight Extremities Collapse!”

In a dense forest, a large black ruler, at a tricky angle, fiercely struck the waist of a Gale Wolf.

Suffering such a heavy blow, the Gale Wolf let out a mournful howl and collapsed completely to the ground.

The one fighting was Xiao Yan. In this border area of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he honed himself daily in combat, growing through life-and-death battles.

This time, the Gale Wolf Xiao Yan faced was a second-tier Demonic Beast, known for its speed, making it quite difficult even for high-level Dou Master experts to deal with.

If not for the training during this period, which greatly increased his combat experience, Xiao Yan would not have been able to kill the Gale Wolf in such a short time.

However, although Xiao Yan defeated the Gale Wolf, his arm was also wounded, and blood was continuously flowing out.

“Damn beast…”

Xiao Yan cursed under his breath and walked towards a nearby cave. He did not choose to put away the Gale Wolf’s corpse, but instead intended to let its aura deter surrounding Demonic Beasts, allowing him a moment of relaxation.

On the other side, Xun'er and Ling Ying were already very close to this location.

Xun'er’s eyes moved, and as if sensing something, she stopped at the entrance of a cave.

Ling Ying exchanged a glance with her, and his aura cautiously probed into the cave.

He sensed a familiar, weak aura.

“Young Miss, we found him.”

After searching for two full days, Xun'er and Ling Ying finally discovered Xiao Yan.

Xun'er and Ling Ying quickly entered the cave.

Seeing Xiao Yan sitting cross-legged, cultivating with his eyes closed, Xun'er was very pleasantly surprised.

But as her beautiful eyes shifted, she noticed the almost dried bloodstains and wounds on Xiao Yan’s arm.

“Xun'er?”

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and was greatly surprised to see Xun'er suddenly appear.

“Brother Xiao Yan, are you alright?”

Xun'er asked with concern, tenderly bandaging the wound on Xiao Yan’s arm.

As the two reunited, Xiao Yan did not ask where Xun'er had been during this time.

He understood in his heart that Xun'er was an existence he currently could not catch up to, and he could not hope for her to always stay by his side.

He needed to Cultivate even harder.

The two sat down, and Xun'er gently wiped the bloodstains from his arm, her movements extremely soft.

She bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, “Brother Xiao Yan, I’m sorry…”

Xiao Yan looked up, gazing at her with a puzzled expression.

“Someone wanted to kill you before, and it was because of me, because of my Family… I’m sorry.”

Xun'er lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Xiao Yan.

But Xiao Yan gently stroked her head.

“It’s alright, how could I blame you?”

Immediately, his eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness appeared on his still-young face.

“Can a powerful Family take lives so casually?”

Xiao Yan’s words inevitably carried anger. He hadn’t yet learned how to control his emotions. Thinking of the Old Yao who was still unconscious in his storage ring, Xiao Yan frowned tightly.

Previously, Gu Yao had merely spoken a casual sentence, and his subordinates traveled thousands of miles to the Northwest Continent, immediately attempting to kill him upon meeting.

Xiao Yan, of course, could not contend against the experts of the Gu Family, ending up in a near-death situation.

If not for Old Yao seizing the critical moment to intervene and save him, he would probably be dead.

Therefore, Xiao Yan was still furious at this moment. Of course, he wasn’t blaming Xun'er.

Xun'er’s background was mysterious; she was likely not in control of her own circumstances.

Afterward, Xiao Yan stated his plans.

“Xun'er, I need to train in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. While improving my Cultivation, I also need to search for Spirit Medicine to heal Soul injuries.”

Even now, Xiao Yan still hadn’t mentioned Old Yao’s existence to Xun'er.

Xun'er understood him and didn't ask why he suddenly needed medicine to heal Soul injuries.

She recalled the mysterious powerful person beside Xiao Yan earlier, and feeling very guilty about the previous incident, she earnestly said, “Brother Xiao Yan, don’t worry, I will find the medicine to heal Soul injuries for you as soon as possible…”

Upon hearing this, a trace of emotion flashed in Xiao Yan’s eyes, and he agreed. He closed his eyes again, seizing the time to recover his depleted Dou Qi.

The cave fell silent… Mist Valley.

After continuing to live in the Small Mountain Valley with Xiao Yi Xian for two or three days, Gu Fei was finally ready to leave.

That day, he brought Xiao Yi Xian onto the Lion King’s back, intending to traverse the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Gu Fei embraced Xiao Yi Xian’s slender waist and leaped onto the Lion King’s broad back.

[Xiao Yi Xian feels reluctant, emotional value +100]

After getting on, Xiao Yi Xian looked back at the Small Mountain Valley with longing eyes.

“Big Brother Gu Fei, can we come back here in the future?”

Gu Fei stroked her fluffy head.

“Of course. Whenever you want to come back, I’ll bring you back.”

Only then did Xiao Yi Xian reveal a sweet smile.

Subsequently, a transparent energy shield appeared on the Lion King’s back.

This was to protect the people inside from the strong winds caused by high-speed flight.

The Magical Beast Mountain Range, which was extremely dangerous for the people of the Jia Ma Empire, had no effect on Gu Fei.

Those low-tier Demonic Beasts, sensing the Lion King’s aura, all prostrated themselves on the ground. How would they dare to block their path?

Gu Fei’s purpose for this trip was to traverse the Magical Beast Mountain Range and head towards the Eastern Border of the Jia Ma Empire. The Eastern Border, close to the Tagor Desert, held the exotic fire Gu Fei needed and the second demon fire remnant map.

When the Lion King had been flying for a while, Gu Fei took out a Medicinal Pill from a jade bottle, intending to feed it to the Lion King to restore his strength.

“So this is a Medicinal Pill? It really can’t compare to the crude way I fuse medicinal ingredients with ordinary flames.”

Looking at the smooth and lustrous surface of the Medicinal Pill, Xiao Yi Xian expressed her admiration.

“Not everyone needs to perform Alchemy. In the future, with me by your side, whatever Medicinal Pill you need, I can refine it for you!”

Gu Fei spoke softly. He knew that Xiao Yi Xian’s dream was once to become an Alchemist, but unfortunately, her attributes were not compatible.

[Xiao Yi Xian feels touched, emotional value +100]

Listening to Gu Fei’s words, Xiao Yi Xian nodded obediently, her eyes full of smiles.

She had also come to terms with the fact that she couldn’t become an Alchemist.

After several days of flight, the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally arrived at the edge of the desert.

Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here was quite dry and hot, and the scorching air made passing travelers sweat profusely.

The blazing sun poured down from the sky, baking the ground below, which continuously emitted a stifling heat.

That heat slowly rose, causing one’s vision to become somewhat distorted and blurry.

Looking from afar, the entire desert seemed somewhat distorted.

One more chapter will be added, and two chapters will be updated on time at midnight!
