Chapter 168: The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!
"This Four-Leaf Wing is indeed a good thing."
After Xiao Yan tried flying for over ten minutes, his Dou Qi was completely exhausted, and he had to land. At that moment, Yao Chen entered Xiao Yan's body and used his power to activate the Four-Leaf Wing.
Whoosh!
With a swoosh, the tail of the Four-Leaf Wing shot out a dazzling white light, and the "Xiao Yan Machine" shot into the sky!
"Master! Master! Slow down, slow down! This is my body!" Before Xiao Yan could react, he suddenly felt himself plummeting rapidly toward the ground. Seeing that he was about to crash, Xiao Yan hurriedly shouted in his mind.
He wasn't ready to join Yao Chen in becoming a ghostly master and disciple yet!
He was still young! He wasn't ready to become a ghost!
He still needed to inherit the Bone Spirit Cold Fire!
Whoosh!
Just as Xiao Yan was about to crash, the white wings opened up at the moment of impact, and a powerful downward air current whipped up a violent gust of wind around them. Yao Chen piloted Xiao Yan's "Xiao Yan Machine" and gently landed, admiring, "This thing will make it much easier for me to save you in the future. At least I won't have to worry about exposing Dou Wang and Dou Huang power right away, which could raise suspicions."
"Though this Four-Leaf Wing is ranked second-tier, that little brat Jiang Lin's rating standards are well-known. As the prototype, this Four-Leaf Wing has plenty of material in it. He even optimized it later, and it can handle Dou Qi strength at levels three and four. It's enough for you to show off in front of a Dou Wang."
Yao Chen emerged from Xiao Yan's body, a look of satisfaction on his face. It was clear he was very pleased with Jiang Lin's Four-Leaf Wing.
This well-crafted Four-Leaf Wing allowed Yao Chen to use his power to provide Xiao Yan some assistance in dangerous situations.
For now, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi cultivation couldn't fully unlock the potential of the Four-Leaf Wing prototype, but Yao Chen could. He found it amusing, even enjoying the process as he piloted the "Xiao Yan Machine," doing dangerous stunts and experiencing the thrill of youth again.
The feeling of flying with mechanical wings was entirely different from using Dou Qi wings in the air.
After all, Yao Chen was a ghost, and not just any ghost—he was a ghost playing with fire. As a ghost fire old man, flying with Xiao Yan, he could experience that incomparable youthful thrill of flying recklessly at high speeds, also known as Ghost Fire Youth!
Yao Chen: ???
Screech!
While Xiao Yan was recovering his Dou Qi and bickering with Yao Chen, a Lan Eagle quickly flew toward them from the distance.
The Lan Eagle, which had previously scattered when being pursued by the fourth-tier Stormwind Wyvern, had returned to the Refiner Valley. That was Jiang Lin's instruction—if it encountered danger and fled, it should return to the Refiner Valley and wait for him. When he had time, he would go and find it.
"Lin Ge! What a huge bird!" Xiao Yan looked up and saw the Lan Eagle and Jiang Lin descending. He stood up and exclaimed.
"..." Suddenly being praised like this, Jiang Lin found himself at a loss for words. He quickly chose to ignore it, "Have you packed up? We're about to set out. Let's collect some things and then head to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's lair."
After speaking, Jiang Lin led the Lan Eagle from low altitude, while the Lan Eagle flew at low altitude through the forest, with Jiang Lin sitting on its back, constantly scanning the forest below.
Xiao Yan jogged behind them. Occasionally, he would glide for a short distance using his Four-Leaf Wing and then continue running.
As Xiao Yan ran, he began chatting with Yao Chen in his mind: "Master, is the perception of the Spirit Tribe really that strong?"
"Don't believe it? Take a look yourself. Have you encountered any magical beasts on this path?" Yao Chen replied indifferently in his mind.
"Good thing our opponent's cultivation isn't too high, otherwise, their perception would surpass even mine." When it came to perception range, Yao Chen was still much stronger than Jiang Lin. However, in terms of detail and depth, Yao Chen might not match Jiang Lin's exceptional spiritual sense talent.
"Indeed, Lin Ge is like a treasure hunter!" Xiao Yan nodded as he continued following Jiang Lin. Before long, he had gathered a fourth-tier herb, his first fourth-tier herb collected in the Beast Mountain Range.
"Alright, stop talking and focus on collecting. You're quite lucky." Yao Chen dismissed Xiao Yan's chatter.
"Got it!" Xiao Yan nodded eagerly.
One week later, in a certain cliff of the Beast Mountain Range, Jiang Lin, Eagle Sauce, and Xiao Yan all crouched there.
At this moment, Xiao Yan, with the help of various pills, had reached the Seven-Star Dou Master level, while Jiang Lin, with the Crystal Pill and pills refined by Yao Chen, had reached the Six-Star Dou Master level.
On the mountain ahead, a lion the size of a small mountain was crouched on a slope, napping. Its massive body was covered in purple crystal armor, with a purple-gold single horn growing on its forehead. It had dual purple wings on its back, exuding a powerful aura. Just a glance from afar could make one feel the terrifying pressure it emitted.
Sixth-Tier Magical Beast: The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!
Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan had finally found the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King. However, there was a problem: the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King didn't have a habit of strolling around. Instead, this creature preferred to sleep near its cave, which made things difficult for the duo.
"Lin Ge, what now? That big lion is too terrifying! It's a sixth-tier magical beast, one sneeze and we'd be dead," Xiao Yan whispered after taking a quick glance at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King on the other side of the mountain, quickly lowering his body, his heart pounding.
He was still a Seven-Star Dou Master! And now he was being urged to approach the Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King! It was insane!
"How about you lure the big lion away?" Jiang Lin suggested to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan gave Jiang Lin a look of disbelief, rolled over, and lay on the ground, staring at the clouds in the sky, muttering, "We're just small fry, we're not even worth a gap in its teeth. We might as well take a nap here and see if we can outlast the big lion in sleep."
"Or..." Jiang Lin chuckled and lay down on the ground as well, gazing at the clouds in the sky. "You could try to charm the big lion. There's a small lion in the cave, and the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King is female. You could charm her, and from there, you'll rise to the peak of life. You'll have the power to destroy the Yun Lan Sect with the help of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!"
"Ha! Lin Ge, stop joking. You go do it yourself, this kind of good thing is for you," Xiao Yan glared at Jiang Lin, thinking to himself, "Why does this guy always try to push me into dangerous situations? Does he not care about my life?"
However, when Xiao Yan looked at Jiang Lin, he found that the latter had already closed his eyes, laying down on the ground and starting to rest.
"Lin Ge, do you think the Yun Lan Sect's sect leader is a woman?"
"Mm." Jiang Lin replied softly, eyes still closed, not particularly familiar with the topic.
"Then she must be just as rude as Nalan Yanran!" Xiao Yan immediately assumed.
"I'm not sure, don't know, just heard she has a... simp." Jiang Lin, knowing nothing about the matter, casually shared some gossip.
"A simp? A simp?!" Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Lin in disbelief, his expression full of uncertainty. "Where did Lin Ge hear this term?"
"In the Refiner's Guild, someone mentioned it. It describes someone who acts like a dog and is overly affectionate. It's a very fitting description," Jiang Lin explained calmly.
"Oh..." Xiao Yan felt a little complicated inside, unsure whether to feel disappointed or something else.
"Lin Ge."
"Hmm?" Jiang Lin didn't understand why he was being asked, and he felt like something bad was coming.
"Run!"
Boom!!!
A violent explosion of Dou Qi suddenly erupted from the other side of the cliff, accompanied by an angry lion's roar!
"Human Dou Huang? Seeking death!"
