Chapter 193

The first ray of morning sunlight spread over the earth, the fresh air was refreshing, and everything was so beautiful.

A handsome-looking youth lay on the stone bed in the cave, sleeping quietly.

When the sunlight shone on the youth's face through the cave entrance, the youth seemed to feel the warmth of the sunlight and opened his eyes.

The youth looked around and found that he was the only one in the entire cave, so he sat up slowly and began to look outside, but still did not find anyone.

"What are you looking around for?" Yao Lao turned into a mass of white light and floated out from the ring. Seeing Xiao Yan looking around, he said with a smile.

"Uh... Teacher, where is Yun... Yun Zhi?" Xiao Yan turned his head back and, seeing Yao Lao looking at him with a half-smile, said somewhat awkwardly.

"You mean that little girl! She left!" Yao Lao smiled slightly and said.

"Fortunately, I obtained knowledge regarding artifact refining before; otherwise, I'm afraid this Sea Heart Armor wouldn't be repairable." Xiao Yan smiled faintly and directly put the Sea Heart Armor into his storage ring.

After putting away the Sea Heart Armor, Xiao Yan cast his gaze toward the six small jade bottles placed neatly.

"Hehe, were you scared?" Yao Lao said with a faint smile.

"However, the test of devouring Exotic Fire on the physical body is truly too great. This time, just devouring the Beast Flame almost killed me directly. If it weren't for her helping me suppress it, I might have died long ago." Xiao Yan sighed and said.

Looking at the six small jade bottles in front of him, for some reason, his mood suddenly felt somewhat heavy.

Putting the jade pendant on his body, Xiao Yan picked up the Sea Heart Armor again. Looking at the five cuts on it, his brows first furrowed, then relaxed again.

"Hehe, you don't need to worry too much about this either. After three consecutive months of purple fire burning, your body strength has already improved a lot. As long as you continue to temper your body with Exotic Fire, I think it will be no problem to devour some low-level Exotic Fires then." Yao Lao said with a faint smile.

"Of course it was that girl who saved you! She suppressed the purple fire on your body every day so that you could slowly refine the purple fire; otherwise, you would have been burned to ashes long ago. And in these three months, that girl took care of you meticulously. It can be seen that she seems to have deep feelings for you!" Yao Lao said with a smile.

"The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King launched a desperate counterattack before dying, injecting all the purple fire in its body into your body. This is equivalent to a Dou Huang forcibly pouring all their Dou Qi into your body. You could be said to have been in critical condition at that time, ready to explode at any moment." Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan and said faintly.

"That little girl has been taking care of you for three months, what more do you want?" Yao Lao raised his eyebrows and said, looking at Xiao Yan.

Although these six small jade bottles were tightly sealed, Xiao Yan still felt that there was rich flame energy in these bottles.

"Now the cultivation method grade is estimated to have reached the Mysterious Tier Advanced, and it is already very close to the Earth Tier." Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"Come and practice!" Xiao Yan beckoned to the black giant ape and said with a smile.

Only to see that the Qi cyclone in the Qi sea was more than double the size it was before, and the diamond-shaped crystal at the center of the cyclone was also several times larger.

"Better wait until I reach the Tagor Desert to ask her in person!" Xiao Yan thought to himself.

However, the black giant ape was a Tier 4 magical beast, and Xiao Yan was only a Great Dou Master. Plus, the black giant ape was known for its defense, so it naturally wouldn't take Xiao Yan seriously.

"This... how would I know? Probably had some urgent matter! And didn't she leave you some things?" Yao Lao stroked his beard and said slowly.

"Did the cultivation method evolve?" Xiao Yan widened his eyes, somewhat unable to believe it.

Xiao Yan turned his gaze toward Yao Lao. Although he knew that Yao Lao might know the reason for Yun Yun's departure, he was clearly unwilling to say.

"And then?" Xiao Yan asked hurriedly.

"But why did she leave without saying goodbye?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.

In just a moment, a giant ape with a pitch-black body and a golden giant bird appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan held the jade pendant in his hand, stroking it gently, feeling the temperature on the jade pendant.

"Right! Before dying, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King sent all its purple fire into my body. With so much energy, I don't know to what extent the Yin Yang Dual Flames can grow." Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan didn't care about thinking about Yun Yun anymore, directly sat cross-legged, and sank his mind into his Qi sea.

Xiao Yan also discovered that the operation route of the cultivation method in his body was significantly more complex, and the speed was also much faster.

Xiao Yan sank his mind into the center of the diamond-shaped crystal. At the center floated something the size of a pigeon egg, similar to a Taiji ball, burning with flames and constantly squirming.

"Left!" Xiao Yan's brows furrowed slightly.

"With this Companion Amethyst Source, the Exotic Fire in your body can grow quite a bit again!" Seeing that Xiao Yan was in a bad mood, Yao Lao knew that Xiao Yan was thinking about Yun Yun, so he changed the subject.

"Yeah! But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that you can truly become stronger by devouring other flames. And although devouring Exotic Fire is dangerous, compared to the price others pay for devouring Exotic Fire, you are still a small witch compared to a big witch." Yao Lao said with a smile.

"No matter what, we spent such a long time together, and there wasn't even a farewell. How could she just leave like that?" Xiao Yan felt somewhat unhappy in his heart.

Xiao Yan walked out of the cave, found a spacious open space, and then whistled toward the sky.

"What? Three months?" Xiao Yan widened his eyes, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

Xiao Yan exhaled lightly, collected his mood, and cast his gaze toward the things Yun Yun left behind.

A pale cyan jade pendant, a deep blue Sea Heart Armor, and six small jade bottles.

"That's true. I really want to know what level my body strength has reached after three months of purple fire body tempering." Xiao Yan nodded and then walked toward the cave entrance.

Xiao Yan picked up a small jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and smelled it, only to find that the liquid inside was actually purple, which surprised Xiao Yan greatly.

"Hehe, didn't expect there to be such good things in the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave. Back then, I searched quite a few Purple Crystal Winged Lion King nests, wanting to find some Companion Amethyst Source, but unfortunately, I gained nothing. Didn't expect she would leave all the Companion Amethyst Source she obtained to you." Yao Lao said with a faint smile.

"The Exotic Fire seed has also grown several times larger!" Xiao Yan felt that the Exotic Fire in his body was significantly stronger than before. At this time, the Exotic Fire could be considered a true Exotic Fire. Although it still couldn't compare to Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame, the gap wasn't that big anymore.

The black giant ape's copper-bell-like eyes rolled, looking at Xiao Yan, feeling that the aura on Xiao Yan's body had increased quite a bit compared to before.

In the past, the black giant ape clearly held back quite a bit for the sake of roasted meat, but Xiao Yan hadn't roasted meat for it for a period of time recently, so its mood wasn't very good. Moreover, this obvious provocative action of Xiao Yan made it even more furious.

The black giant ape secretly decided in its heart that it must teach Xiao Yan a lesson, make him roast meat for it properly, and not always be with that skinny woman, although that skinny woman was very powerful and it couldn't beat her.
