19: Chapter 19 Purple Fire

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is a good thing... Whenever an Amethyst Winged Lion King gives birth, there is an extremely small chance of producing this. Because it spends a long time in the mother's belly, it contains considerable energy. You must know, when the young beast grows to the fourth rank, swallowing this will allow it to directly become a fifth-rank Demonic Beast!"

Yao Chen smacked his lips and sighed with emotion: "You little guy, your luck is truly Heaven-Defying; you always manage to stumble upon such good things. I searched through eight Amethyst Winged Lion King caves back then and never found one!"

"How do I get it out? Just smash it?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the sphere on the platform.

"It absorbs impacts and energy from the outside, so breaking it is not simple. You can only use purple spirit crystal. Go find some purple spirit crystal first." Looking at the eager Xiao Yan, Yao Chen reminded him.

Xiao Yan exited this cave and headed toward the previous fork.

In the cave at the other fork, a third-rank Amethyst Winged Lion King was sleeping.

Xiao Yan looked at the sleeping young beast, took down the xuan heavy ruler, weighed it in his hand, then lunged forward and slammed it down onto the young beast!

The poor young beast had just heard the commotion before being knocked unconscious by the strike.

After collecting a piece of purple spirit crystal the size of a fist, Xiao Yan immediately rushed back to the cave with the accompanying purple crystal source.

Having prepared the jade bottle in advance, he used the sharp edge of the purple spirit crystal to gently rub against the sphere. Slowly, the small ball cracked, and then the crack gradually widened, causing purple liquid to flow onto the stone platform.

"Quick, use the jade bottle to collect the purple liquid. This is the Purple Crystal Source!" Yao Chen shouted hurriedly.

Xiao Yan had been prepared. The moment the sphere shattered, he picked up the jade bottle and started collecting it. It wasn't until he had filled six and a half bottles that it reached the bottom.

"Phew! That was close." Xiao Yan exhaled, looking at the small amount of purple liquid flowing on the stone platform.

"Let's retreat!" Stowing the accompanying purple crystal source into his storage ring, he unfurled his Purple Cloud Wings and flew away rapidly, skimming the ground.

After leaving the cave, Xiao Yan glanced at the person and the beast still battling in the sky. Ignoring them, he quickly escaped into the distance. Only when Xiao Yan felt he was far enough away did he send a signal to the sky indicating he had safely retreated.

Before long, Yun Yun, having received the message, shook off the furious Amethyst Winged Lion King and arrived at the clearing where Xiao Yan was. Xiao Yan had already been waiting there for a long time.

"Thank you, Yao Yan." Yun Yun looked at the smiling Xiao Yan before her and reached out to take the purple spirit crystal.

"This is prepared for your disciple, right? What kind of person is she? She's actually worth you going to such lengths." Xiao Yan asked, looking at Yun Yun, whose sleeves were slightly disheveled.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun's gaze softened. She said: "She is a strong and lovely person, but..."

"A bit stubborn? I've heard of her, Nalan Yanran, a willful person who went to a fallen Family to force a marriage annulment. What do you think of her actions?" Xiao Yan interrupted Yun Yun and continued to ask.

Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. Had this matter really become common knowledge?

But then again, it was said that the youth hadn't lost his talent at all; instead, he had hidden it for three years, only revealing his terrifying talent when Yanran went to annul the marriage.

Rumor had it that when he left Wutan City, he was already a three-star Dou Master...

However, these were just rumors. Who could believe that a sixteen-year-old youth could become a three-star Dou Master?

In the entire Jia Ma Empire, no one had ever heard of someone with such terrifying talent!

Yun Yun looked at the youth before her, and a thought suddenly occurred to her. Could this person before her be the youth who was abandoned by Yanran, Xiao Yan!

Yun Yun carefully observed the youth before her. His mature temperament and mannerisms had caused her to overlook his youthful face. Looking at him now, he was indeed too young...

"Yanran has her own choices, and even I have no right to interfere... However, this matter was indeed a bit inconsiderate." Looking at the serious youth before her, Yun Yun hesitated for a moment before adding the rest of her sentence.

According to Yun Yun's original mindset, she would never care about the life or death of someone unrelated to her.

"Hmm." Xiao Yan nodded and spoke again: "By the way, I'm still missing a movement-type Dou Technique. Do you have one?"

"A movement-type Dou Technique? I do have one, a Profound Rank Intermediate Dou Technique: Explosive Steps." Yun Yun took a scroll out of her storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan stepped forward, took the Dou Technique, and looked straight into Yun Yun's clear, moving eyes, saying: "I'll take this scroll; consider it payment for saving your life."

"Heh, who would have thought that the life of the dignified Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect is only worth one Profound Rank Intermediate Dou Technique?" Yun Yun looked at the smiling youth and thought with a chuckle.

"My favor is not that cheap. If you encounter any difficulties in the Jia Ma Empire, you can come to the Cloud Mist Sect to find me, and I will help you once." Yun Yun looked at Xiao Yan and said with a smile.

Go to the Cloud Mist Sect, heh...

Xiao Yan also nodded with a smile, indicating he understood, then bowed to Yun Yun and turned to leave the clearing.

After parting with Yun Yun, Xiao Yan returned to the waterfall cave.

"Teacher, do I eat this directly?" Xiao Yan looked at the jade bottle in his hand with some concern; it was filled with the accompanying purple crystal source.

"Just consume a small amount and refine it. The pure energy inside is enough to last you until you reach the Dou Ling Realm." Yao Chen nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan no longer hesitated. He dripped out a few drops of the accompanying purple crystal source and began to consume and refine it.

The purple liquid entered his body, instantly releasing a vast amount of energy, which was slowly absorbed and refined by Xiao Yan.

As the massive energy was continuously refined by Xiao Yan, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. At this moment, the energy of heaven and earth swarmed in, and Xiao Yan had broken through again!

Relying on this pure energy, it actually directly triggered the arrival of heaven and earth energy, allowing Xiao Yan to break through to a two-star Great Dou Master!

Yao Chen floated behind Xiao Yan. Seeing Xiao Yan, who had just broken through to Great Dou Master a few days ago, starting to break through again, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"In my entire life, I have never been jealous of anyone, Little Yan, but you count as one now!" Yao Chen did not ask Xiao Yan to suppress the Breakthrough, because every one of Xiao Yan's previous Breakthroughs had been solid, without any opportunism, so his Foundation was very stable.

After the Breakthrough, Xiao Yan consumed another drop of the accompanying purple crystal source to stabilize his Realm and accelerate the speed of his next Breakthrough.

"Phew! At this rate, breaking through to the Dou Ling Realm by the three-year agreement will be a piece of cake. Heh, I'm looking forward to that scene." Of course, if he swallowed the Green Lotus Core Flame, his improvement would likely be even more outrageous; he might even break through to the Dou Wang Realm!

Heh, just thinking about the stubborn Nalan Yanran clashing with him as a Dou Wang while she was only at the Great Dou Master Realm, the scene was just too beautiful to imagine.

However, the top priority was to refine the purple fire within the accompanying purple crystal source and evolve the Flame Mantra a little bit.

"Teacher, there seems to be a strange flame in this accompanying purple crystal source." Xiao Yan transformed his Qi into flames, condensing real fire, revealing wisps of purple flame within it.

"Oh? Try refining it." It must have been that the purple fire merged into the accompanying purple crystal source while in the womb.

Xiao Yan poured his Soul power into the purple flame. The purple flame offered only a trace of resistance, but clearly, it could not resist at all.

Xiao Yan flipped his palm, and the purple flame instantly appeared in his palm, rolling continuously, and the entire cave was instantly dyed purple.

"The purple fire of the Amethyst Winged Lion King; this counts as... Beast Fire, which is better than Qi fire."

"Teacher, can this kind of flame be swallowed by the Flame Mantra?"

Yao Chen smiled slightly and said: "There is a way: refine the purple fire into an Origin fire seed, cultivate it, and then swallow it. That should have an evolutionary effect!"

"Good idea, Teacher, teach me!"

Yao Chen smiled lightly, tapped Xiao Yan's forehead with his finger, and taught him the method.

After carefully savoring it in his mind, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the stone platform and opened up a space in his Dantian to store the purple energy.

When the purple energy was balanced in the Dou Zhi Qi vortex, wisps of Dou Zhi Qi gradually entered the purple energy. As the Dou Zhi Qi was gradually poured into the purple energy, its color became deeper and deeper.

Until a critical point was reached, wisps of purple flame were converted out.

The purple energy emitted wisps of temperature, warming the Dou Zhi Qi vortex, and the Dou Zhi Qi vortex also accelerated its rotation with this temperature.

"This thing can also accelerate cultivation." Xiao Yan said with joy.
