Jiang Cheng was also quite interested in this Seven-Colored Poison Manual. He was getting tired of reading other books, so a change of pace was quite nice.
Sunset, distant mountains like painted brows.
Jiang Cheng sat in the Huai River Bamboo Pavilion, enjoying the interesting stories the book brought. In his previous life, he didn't actually like reading, but after coming to this world and Awakening the Confucian Sage System, he slowly developed an interest.
"Clear wind and bright moon, chance encounters, hehe, interesting."
Two small boats were moored by the lake, gently bobbing in the sparkling orange waves.
Reflected by the moonlight, a bright moon suddenly appeared.
Xiao Yi Xian had already returned to her room to rest. Only the Amethyst Winged Lion King and his son remained, sprawled on the ground, eating the third-tier Demonic Beast they had just caught. No matter what, they were still Demonic Beasts, and they had a great interest in blood-meat.
The Dou Qi Cultivation here was several times that of the outside world, making Cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. In just a few days, the Amethyst Winged Lion King had Broken through to the Four-Star Dou Huang Realm. At this rate, Breaking through to the Dou Zong Realm was only a matter of time.
Jiang Cheng shrugged, put down the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, stood up, and said with a chuckle, "Sect Leader Yun, you still came."
With a flash of light, Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun, suddenly appeared here.
Beautiful scenery with a beautiful woman.
It was truly moving.
Yun Yun took a deep breath. Clearly, she had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. For Yanran to successfully win in three years, she, as a teacher, had sacrificed too much.
Now that she had finally found a way to improve Yanran's strength, Yun Yun naturally didn't want to miss it. If Yanran failed because of this, she would blame herself for a lifetime.
Yun Yun carefully took off the pendant around her neck and slowly handed it to Jiang Cheng with a reluctant gaze.
"Sir, this is the pendant you wanted... where is the purple spirit crystal?"
Jiang Cheng took the pendant. It still carried some of Yun Yun's body temperature and a faint fragrance. He could smell the fresh scent without even getting close.
"Hmm, it's what I wanted."
Jiang Cheng nodded, flipped his right hand, and a purple spirit crystal appeared in his palm.
"Sect Leader Yun, this is the Amethyst Winged Lion King's purple spirit crystal. Take it."
Yun Yun took the purple spirit crystal. After confirming it was real, she bowed her hands. Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Cheng stopped her.
"Hmm?" Yun Yun asked, puzzled, "Sir, do you need anything else?"
Jiang Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sparkling lake, and smiled:
"Tonight's scenery is like a painting. If we don't enjoy a good bottle of wine, wouldn't we be wasting this wonderful time?"
"But... I don't drink. I pass out with one sip..."
"No matter, drink in moderation."
Jiang Cheng never actively drank with others, but it would be a pity not to drink a cup with such beautiful scenery. He casually took out two special ceramic cups, placed them on the stone table, and then brought out a pot of wine. After filling a cup, he drank it all.
Yun Yun stared at the clear peach blossom wine in the cup, hesitating. But seeing Sir Jiang Cheng drink cup after cup, if she didn't drink, wouldn't she be rejecting Sir Jiang Cheng's Face?
But after she drank it, she felt a burning heat all over her body, her Face flushed red as she clutched the purple spirit crystal in her hand. A strange power filled her limbs and bones. This feeling was like doing 'that' kind of thing, so comfortable that she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
Yun Yun shyly covered her mouth, immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to circulate the Dou Qi within her body.
Jiang Cheng smiled calmly, "Hehe, I forgot to tell you, the peach blossom wine contains my Dou Qi. With your Dou Huang Cultivation, you should benefit greatly."
Peach blossoms fall with the wind, one sword levels Qingyun Mountain!
Half an hour later, Yun Yun's brows slightly relaxed, and a pinkish turbid Qi was exhaled from her cherry lips. Her Cultivation had also Broken through to the Four-Star Dou Huang Realm.
Yun Yun looked at her hands, feeling deeply moved. She hadn't expected that just one cup of wine would allow her Cultivation, which had been stagnant for several months, to Breakthrough... It was truly inconceivable!
"Awake?"
Jiang Cheng stood with one hand behind his back and said, "In my life, Jiang Cheng has only a few close friends. Today, for you to drink and sing with me, you can be considered a friend of mine. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come find me. I will certainly not refuse."
"Thank you, Sir."
Yun Yun bowed, developing a peculiar view of the person before her.
Why would such an Expert appear in the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Could it be for something?
"No need to be polite."
[Random Task initiated: Proceed to the Xiao Family in Wutan City to obtain the key that can open the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave Abode. Time limit: three days. Reward: ten experience points.]
Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in Jiang Cheng's mind. Hearing the System's prompt, Jiang Cheng became interested. He hadn't expected this time he would be going to the Family of the male protagonist, Xiao Yan.
He knew that the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade was the key to opening the Secret Realm of a Dou Di Expert. If he obtained it, the time to Breakthrough to Dou Di would be greatly shortened.
Jiang Cheng naturally welcomed all comers; he couldn't miss anything that could enhance his strength.
"Sect Leader Yun."
"Ah?" Yun Yun, startled, responded nervously, "What's wrong?"
"I will be making a trip to the Xiao Family in Wutan City on an auspicious day. Do you have time to accompany me?"
"The Xiao Family in Wutan City?"
Yun Yun murmured. Wasn't that the Family Nalan Yanran broke off the engagement with? She asked curiously, "Why are you going to Wutan City?"
"For an item."
"An item?"
"Yes, you'll know when we get there."
Jiang Cheng shrugged. He didn't care about the Xiao Family's fate, but the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade couldn't fall into the hands of others, otherwise, it would be troublesome in the future.
Yun Yun also nodded in agreement. Wutan City was very close to the Cloud Mist Sect anyway, so she could return to the Cloud Mist Sect after the matter was done.
The two drank wine under the moon, chatted about life, and were infinitely happy.
They didn't sleep all night.
The next morning, the golden rooster announced dawn.
Jiang Cheng squatted on the ground, cupped his hands, scooped up the cold lake water, and after simply cleaning his Face, prepared to take Yun Yun to the Xiao Family in Wutan City.
Because it was daytime, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was too large, and Xiao Yi Xian was still at home and needed protection. So, he was left to take care of the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King and Xiao Yi Xian.
Due to drinking, Yun Yun's cheeks were exceptionally fair and tender, with a faint blush on her skin. Clearly, yesterday was her first time drinking and having fun so unreservedly.
"Sect Leader Yun, let's depart."
Yun Yun nodded and said, "Sir, please call me by my name from now on. 'Sect Leader Yun' always feels a bit strange coming from you."
"Then I shall call you 'Miss'?"
Yun Yun's pretty Face revealed a hint of crimson. She had never been addressed this way before, and hearing it from Sir Jiang Cheng's mouth now gave her a unique feeling.
