40: Fighting spirit restored - revenge!

Several days passed in a blink, everything was peaceful and harmonious, especially for Yun Yun.

Although she might not have realized it, as the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, it was naturally impossible for her to have simple relationships with most people.

The Elders of the Cloud Mist Sect schemed against her, and her Disciples revered her; only with her Disciple, Nalan Yanran, could Yun Yun experience a simple human relationship.

This was simply because Nalan Yanran's thoughts were equally simple; although some of her actions were not very appropriate, Yun Yun always tolerated her antics.

Even when the Three-Year Agreement was made, Yun Yun did not scold her; instead, she fully supported her, even fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King for it.

However, within the few days she spent with Xiao Lei and the others in the cave, Yun Yun successfully experienced that simple relationship with a second person.

Xiao Lei would not filter her based on her Dou Huang Cultivation and often made various jokes about her, amusing her.

Yun Yun was sometimes annoyed by his teasing but would inexplicably feel a warmth, feeling as if she was finally a living person!

And not just the Sect Master Yun, who was placed on the Sect Master's position!

...Inside the not-so-spacious cave, the three were busy with their own affairs, only Yun Yun leaned against the cave wall, bored, observing Xiao Lei and the other two.

The Qi on Xiao Yi Xian's body grew stronger, then boldly broke into the Realm of a three-star Great Dou Master.

Seeing this, Yun Yun merely glanced; she had gotten used to it over these days... As for Xiao Lei, he was refining Medicinal Pills, having been busy with these matters for the past few days.

Suddenly, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted through the cave, then the medicinal fragrance even materialized into a solid pink color, attempting to escape the cave.

"An anomaly, a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill!"

The experienced Yun Yun immediately recognized this strange phenomenon and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but thinking of Xiao Lei's Dou Huang strength, it wasn't so strange anymore.

Xiao Lei, who had been sitting for a long time, smiled in relief at this sight; sure enough, his Alchemy could also improve through self-exploration, not just copying whatever level it was. After all, he was now a Dou Huang, and his control over flames and Soul Strength were much stronger.

However, Xiao Lei was still quite happy to refine a fifth-grade Medicinal Pill, as it was a Breakthrough he achieved through his own exploration.

As for the Medicinal Pill, it was a Medicinal Pill Otto had prepared for his advancement to fifth-grade, a low-grade fifth-grade healing Medicinal Pill called 'Bone and Flesh Recovery'.

Seeing the medicinal fragrance tending to flow out of the cave, Xiao Lei's Dou Qi surged out, and purple flames completely burned away the medicinal fragrance.

The medicinal fragrance was strong; if it rushed out, it might attract the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and that would be bad.

After doing all this, Xiao Lei clapped his sleeves and stood up to stretch twice.

"The Seal is about to be lifted, right? How about it, are you still going to take that purple spirit crystal?"

"Mm."

Yun Yun was stunned by the words, and only after a long while did she manage to squeeze out an 'Mm' from her mouth.

Yun Yun naturally couldn't give up the purple spirit crystal; she had come for it, and it made no sense to give up before obtaining it.

However, after so many days, Yun Yun had also calmed down and analyzed her strength against the Amethyst Winged Lion King, finally realizing that although she knew its trump card, she could at most fight it to a draw and had no way to seize the purple spirit crystal.

But for Yun Yun to ask Xiao Lei... Yun Yun couldn't help but think of the boast she had accidentally made a few days ago... Now it was awkward!

Just as Yun Yun was feeling awkward, the purple mark on her chest, which had gradually faded over many days, suddenly vanished completely.

All the Dou Qi, which had been missing from her body for many days, returned, and Yun Yun once again experienced the feeling of power.

Yun Yun activated her Dou Qi, holding the long sword in her hand, and immediately, a wisp of ethereal Immortal Qi emanated from her.

Of course, Xiao Lei, who had seen Yun Yun that night, would not be affected by this ethereal sense of distance... "This purple spirit crystal is extremely important to me; I must take it, but..."

"Although I am slightly stronger than this Amethyst Winged Lion King, this is its home ground after all. If it incites the three surrounding fifth-rank Demonic Beasts to attack together, I might not be able to free my hands to seize the purple spirit crystal!"

Yes, that's exactly it!

Yun Yun raised her head.

She could defeat the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

Xiao Lei immediately couldn't help but laugh, but out of consideration for Yun Yun's face, he had to suppress his laughter.

"So?" Xiao Lei continued to feign ignorance; if Yun Yun didn't ask him for help, he wouldn't offer it proactively.

When someone hints for your help, it's already a pretense of ignorance, so why not pretend to be ignorant yourself?

"So I want to ask you to sneak into its cave and retrieve the purple spirit crystal while I fight the Amethyst Winged Lion King... I can pay you for it!"

Seeing Xiao Lei feign ignorance, Yun Yun had no choice but to actively ask for help, blushing greatly for the big words she had spoken a few days ago.

"Alright, but my help isn't cheap! You should think carefully about what to use as payment."

Xiao Lei said jokingly.

How could Xiao Lei be free labor?

"Then let's use this Dou Technique as payment!"

Xiao Lei casually took the Dou Technique and threw it into his storage ring. This thing was probably the Exploding Step, and he already had better Dou Techniques, so he didn't need this movement Dou Technique.

"Sigh, although it's just a Dou Technique, I'll reluctantly help you this once!"

Xiao Lei no longer lacked Profound Rank Dou Techniques. This was also because Xiao Lei had copied Yun Yun a second time; since other options were unsuitable, Xiao Lei simply decided to copy Yun Yun's Dou Techniques.

Xiao Lei originally thought he could only use some Dou Techniques that didn't require wind attributes, but he eventually discovered that the System directly intervened, modifying the original wind-attribute Dou Techniques into fire-attribute versions.

Xiao Lei exclaimed, "Six six six!"

It should be known that as the Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, Yun Yun's Cultivated Dou Techniques were quite comprehensive.

"Hmph, you're getting a bargain and still acting smug. I only need you to go and retrieve the purple spirit crystal."

Yun Yun said grumpily, but in her heart, she was considering whether to leave Xiao Lei a gift after she left, after all, he had saved her life.

"Who told you I was going to retrieve the purple spirit crystal!"

Hearing this, Yun Yun was full of questions. If you're not going to retrieve the purple spirit crystal, why are you taking my Dou Technique?

"Xiao Yi Xian, come here for a moment, and you, Qing Lin, call out Little Xuan."

Retrieving the purple spirit crystal and the accompanying purple crystal source could be left to Xiao Yi Xian; after all, she hadn't experienced any trials since she started Cultivating.

How could that be without battle?

Xiao Yi Xian had just broken through to a three-star Great Dou Master when she heard Xiao Lei call her, and she immediately skipped over to him.

"You take Little Xuan to retrieve the purple spirit crystal."

As he spoke, a telepathic message entered Xiao Yi Xian's mind.

"There is also a rare item in the cave called the accompanying purple crystal source, which is a huge crystal. After you find the purple spirit crystal, you can use it to smash open the accompanying purple crystal source."

After instructing Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Lei turned to Yun Yun, "Let's go, we'll meet the Amethyst Winged Lion King."

Saying that, Xiao Lei touched the clear wound on his left arm.

With his Alchemy, he could have removed this scar long ago.

No way, Xiao Lei was just that vengeful; he wouldn't get rid of this scar until he killed the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

However, Xiao Yi Xian fell into contemplation again upon hearing this. She understood Xiao Lei less and less. Wasn't he a Dou Ling before, and even injured by the Amethyst Winged Lion King? How did he suddenly gain the strength of a Dou Huang and could go fight it...?
