Chapter 67: Yun Yun
At the cave entrance, Xiao Tian asked, "Little Doctor Immortal, are you planning to go back to Qingshan Town?"
"Where else would I go?" she replied.
"That Mu Li guy is dead, but the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will surely seek revenge," Xiao Tian said with a smile. "Why don't you leave with me? My master is an alchemist."
"An alchemist?" Little Doctor Immortal had intended to part ways, but hearing that his master was an alchemist changed her mind. Her dream was to become an alchemist herself, even though she knew it was unlikely. She still wanted to be close to one.
"Alright," she nodded.
Xiao Tian extended his hand to her, saying, "Come, I'll take you with me!"
"What are you doing?" Little Doctor Immortal took a few steps back. "No need, I have my own flying beast."
She took out a short bamboo flute and began to play it. A strange sound wave emanated from the flute, spreading far and wide.
Xiao Tian asked, "Little Doctor Immortal, is there a quiet place nearby? I want to stay here for a while."
"There's a valley that's perfect for seclusion," she replied.
"Great, take me there," Xiao Tian said.
"Okay," she nodded.
"Caw!" Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry echoed in the sky. Xiao Tian looked up to see a giant blue eagle swiftly flying towards them. In no time, the blue eagle reached the cliff.
"Let's go!" Little Doctor Immortal said, leaping onto the eagle's back. The eagle flapped its wings, creating a gust of wind, and soared into the sky. Xiao Tian followed, his Dou Qi wings fluttering slightly.
…
A short while later, Xiao Tian followed the blue eagle to a basin.
"What a nice place!" Xiao Tian remarked. The basin had a natural spirit-gathering formation, making the energy here far more abundant than elsewhere.
"This place was discovered by Xiao Lan. The area above is filled with mist, and Xiao Lan stumbled upon it by accident," Little Doctor Immortal said, pointing to the herbs below. "I transplanted all these herbs myself!"
They landed in the valley, and Little Doctor Immortal led Xiao Tian to a corner.
She pointed to a grass hut not far away and said, "That's my old dwelling. We can stay there for now."
"We?" Xiao Tian looked at her with a teasing smile. "Are you planning to live with me?"
"Pah!" Little Doctor Immortal's face turned red. She glared at Xiao Tian and said, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're stronger. If you try anything, you'll wake up as a eunuch."
"You're so fierce!" Xiao Tian took a step back, pretending to be afraid.
"Pfft!" Little Doctor Immortal couldn't help but laugh.
And so, Xiao Tian and Little Doctor Immortal began their life in this secluded valley. Xiao Tian started refining and absorbing high-level herbs he had obtained earlier, enhancing his cultivation. In the original story, these herbs were taken by Lin Langtian and others, but this time, they belonged to Xiao Tian. Although herbs weren't as potent as elixirs, the sheer quantity was enough.
After refining these herbs, Xiao Tian's cultivation improved by two stars, reaching the Seven Star Dou Wang level. During this period, he also occasionally refined elixirs, including the Blood Lotus Elixir, which he prepared to help him absorb the Sea Heart Flame in the Black-Corner Region, where he would encounter Han Feng and the Sea Heart Flame.
Xiao Tian's actions gradually earned Little Doctor Immortal's trust, and they became friends.
…
One day, while Xiao Tian was cultivating, an unexpected guest arrived in the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range. It was a noble and elegant woman, clearly at the Dou Huang level based on her aura.
"Boom!" Sensing her presence, a purple streak shot into the sky, transforming into a massive, fierce magical beast—the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
The woman spoke softly, "Lion King, I've come to borrow your Amethyst Spirit Crystal."
"Human, die!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King, harboring deep hatred for humans, attacked immediately. Brilliant amethyst light flared from its body, and a torrent of purple flames surged forth, forming a massive purple pillar that shot towards the woman. The scorching heat was intense, even from a thousand meters away.
"If the Lion King won't comply, Yun Yun will have to take it by force," Yun Yun said, raising her hand. A cyan whirlwind appeared in the sky, initially only two meters wide, but quickly expanding to several dozen meters.
"Boom!" The cyan whirlwind clashed with the purple flame pillar, unleashing a terrifying destructive force. The shockwaves rippled through the void.
"Hmm?" The intense energy fluctuations caught Xiao Tian's attention, making him open his eyes.
Xiao Tian flew into the air, looking towards the distant battle. The deep purple and cyan lights split the sky. "That's the aura of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Could it be Yun Yun?" With this thought, Xiao Tian summoned a spatial gate and entered the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Soon, Xiao Tian arrived near the Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair. He saw a woman fighting the Lion King. Dressed in a plain skirt that accentuated her curvaceous figure, she wielded a strange, cyan-glowing sword. Her hair was styled in a noble phoenix hairpin, and her beautiful face remained calm despite her formidable opponent.
Recognizing her, Xiao Tian confirmed, "It must be Yun Yun."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King fought fiercely, even risking injury, which soon put Yun Yun on the defensive.
"Human, die!" The Lion King roared, its body glowing with intense amethyst light. The light overshadowed the setting sun.
"Amethyst Seal!" The purple light condensed into a deep purple beam, only half a foot wide.
"Splitting Wind Dance!" Yun Yun formed hand seals, and dozens of massive dark cyan wind blades appeared, intertwining into a vortex that charged towards the Lion King.
