Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Inside the cave, Yunzhi's body radiated a blue light, ultimately breaking through the already depleted amethyst seal.

The moment the seal shattered, her battle qi surged into every part of her body within her vortex.

Yunzhi regained her Douhuang strength, and her temperament became slightly colder.

"Has your strength been restored?"

Although they had spent several days together and Xiao Yan had gotten used to Yun Zhi's presence, he still felt that time had passed too quickly when she finally regained her Dou Huang strength.

The opponent standing before him was like a walking sun, emanating a dazzling aura that made it impossible to look directly at him.

Fortunately, Yunzhi did not release this aura specifically at Xiao Yan, so Xiao Yan did not feel too much pressure.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days. I owe you a huge favor. Here are a few things for you."

After saying that, Yunzhi took out two red scrolls and a warm jade pendant from her storage bag.

"This jade token is my token. Go to the Yunlan Sect and show it to Pill King Guhe. He will then accept you as his disciple and teach you how to refine medicine."

In addition, these two scrolls contain a high-level Xuan-rank fire-type cultivation technique and a mid-level Xuan-rank fire-type movement technique. They were originally intended for use in a trade with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, but since they are no longer needed, I'll give them to you.

Yunzhi immediately presented several priceless treasures.

"Oh, and this inner armor is for you too."

As she spoke, Yunzhi also gave her personal inner armor to Xiao Yan.

This surprised Xiao Yan. He knew that this thing was the treasure that had saved her from being torn apart by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and now it was given to him so easily.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

Xiao Yan's lips curled up, and instead of refusing, he asked questions.

His question actually made Yunzhi blush slightly.

Then Yunzhi turned her head to the side and stopped looking at Xiao Yan: "Don't think too much. It's because you promised to help me steal the Purple Spirit Crystal. Although I will lure away the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, its cave will definitely be guarded by other magical beasts."

This inner armor is called the Heart of the Sea Armor. It's forged from a special metal found inside the body of a sixth-tier magical beast, the Three-Tailed Blue Whale. It can greatly enhance your survivability. I don't want you to die here because of me."

Xiao Yan sensed concern in Yunzhi's words, but since she was shy, he didn't feel comfortable pointing it out.

He gently sniffed the inner armor, which still carried Yunzhi's faint body fragrance. The image of her body when he first treated her resurfaced in his mind, lingering there for a long time.

"What filthy things are you thinking about now!"

Yunzhi noticed Xiao Yan's expression and said in a tone of shame and anger.

"No way! I was thinking about how to steal the Purple Spirit Crystal, I had absolutely no other intentions!"

Xiao Yan naturally denied it to the death, and the matter was thus glossed over.

"Alright, there's no need to say anything else. Stealing the Purple Spirit Crystal is of utmost importance. Take this. When you enter the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave, if you encounter the Purple Spirit Crystal, it will emit a faint light to help you identify it."

Yunzhi handed over another pendant, a pendant made of amethyst crystal, specifically designed to resonate with and sense other amethyst crystals.

"Alright, if you're ready, we can set off now."

Yunzhi spoke indifferently, seemingly deliberately distancing herself from Xiao Yan.

"Are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yan accepted the two scrolls and the jade token, and asked somewhat helplessly.

"I've already spent too much time away from the sect this time, so I don't have much time left. Once I get the Purple Spirit Crystal, I will return to the sect immediately."

Yunzhi sighed softly. The ordinary woman in the cave had disappeared, and now standing in front of Xiao Yan was still the Dou Huang powerhouse.

"Alright, let's get going."

Xiao Yan chuckled, then opened his arms and embraced Yun Zhi.

His appearance made Yunzhi's eyes widen, and she quickly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Ah, of course I'll go to that cave with you. You can't expect me to just run there, can you? What if we encounter fourth or fifth-tier magical beasts on the way? Wouldn't I be doomed before I even get there?"

Xiao Yan's words made sense, and Yun Zhi could only helplessly agree: "I'm warning you, don't touch me inappropriately, or I'll definitely throw you down!"

"Okay, okay, I've already touched all the places I was supposed to touch."

After saying that, Xiao Yan hugged Yun Zhi and pressed his head against her body.

Although Yunzhi reacted to this, she still resisted the urge to throw Xiao Yan down.

Then Yunzhi released her fighting spirit, and a pair of emerald green wings formed from her fighting spirit appeared behind her.

This is the standard equipment for Dou Wang and Dou Huang powerhouses: Dou Qi wings!

Only those who reach the Dou Wang level can transform their Dou Qi into wings, break free from the earth's constraints, and soar through the sky.

Of course, if one masters flight combat skills in advance, even a mere fighter can fly.

Yunzhi moved extremely fast, and in no time she arrived at the outer perimeter of the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave again.

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King's lair is just ahead. I'll attract its attention as we get closer, then you sneak in and steal the Amethyst Crystal while it's away. Once you've got it, leave immediately. I'll be waiting for you outside. Understand?"

"Understood, leave it to me."

Xiao Yan nodded, and then took the opportunity to hide in a secluded place.

Then Yunzhi flew into the air again, a cyan longsword appearing in her hand. With every move she made, countless wind blades burst forth.

The magical beasts guarding the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave were all third or fourth tier beings, but they were no match for Yunzhi's attacks.

Several magical beasts struck head-on by the wind blades were instantly sliced ​​into pieces, while other magical beasts nearby were terrified and scattered in all directions.

"Human woman, how dare you cause trouble in my cave! Today I will avenge the loss of your horn!"

With a roar, a beam of purple light shot out from the cave, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King once again engaged Yunzhi in battle.

Yunzhi deliberately distanced herself from the battlefield, keeping it away from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cave.

Sensing that the time was ripe, Xiao Yan made his move decisively. His eagle wings unfurled, and he glided down from above to the entrance of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave.

Then, with all his might, he struck the head of the last remaining trembling third-tier magical beast, instantly sending it to its death.

Before he could even extract the demonic core from its head, Xiao Yan shot out and headed straight for the cave.

Upon entering the cave, Xiao Yan saw a large amount of purple ore.

These ores contain traces of fire power and shimmer with a faint purple light. In the human world, they would be considered very expensive ornaments, but they are not the Purple Spirit Crystal that Xiao Yan is looking for.

Xiao Yan continued to venture deeper, but before long, he discovered as many as seven or eight branching entrances inside.

Xiao Yan's scalp tingled; with so many forks in the road, how long would it take him to find his way?
