"Tell me the location and I will go directly. Later, I will have someone deliver the pills to the academy."
Xiao Ting looked at Su Qian. Su Qian must have the most detailed map.
"This is the most detailed map of the Black-Corner Region, showing the locations of major factions, their spheres of influence, and geographical positions of varying importance." Su Qian did not disappoint Xiao Ting's expectations and had indeed prepared a very detailed map for him.
Demon Flame Valley was located in the western part of the Black-Corner Region, while Jia Nan Academy occupied the central part of the Black-Corner Region. Lu Wanli had mentioned that the location was at the border between the central and western parts, which could be said to be the frontline of conflict between the two factions.
"Then I will take my leave. If you need anything, call me in Purple Sky City."
As Xiao Ting took one step forward, space automatically distorted and swallowed him.
"Take me with you, take me with you, I want to watch the show." Zi Yan instantly disappeared and chased after him.
Xun Er smiled faintly and said to Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin, "Get ready. Let's go to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower."
During these three months, while Xiao Ting was focused on refining pills, he had spent his free time eating with them and guiding them in battle techniques and methods. They had spent quite a lot of time together.
They might need to be apart for a while, but as long as their training speed was maintained, there would be no problem at all.
[Han Yue]: Xun Er, what about Xue?
[Xun Er]: It's simple. Just go to Purple Sky City and wait. Tell them you're asking Brother Xiao Ting to refine pills as the representative of the Han family. You'll get along quickly.
[Han Yue]: This is the only way. She has a slightly sentimental side, so I'm worried she won't be able to endure it without me by her side.
Seeing this, Xun Er smiled inwardly.
Was Han Xue born with a gentle personality?
Indeed, it was a little difficult to get along with them, but they were also very easy to talk to.
But in reality, she looked gentle on the outside but was strong on the inside. Once she decided to do something, she would do it with all her might. She was more persistent than Han Yue, who looked cold and strong. You could even say she was stubborn.
Regarding Xiao Ting's matter, Han Yue would need to learn from Han Xue in the future.
…
"Shing!"
Outside Jia Nan Academy, a crack appeared in the void.
Xiao Ting walked out, followed by Zi Yan, whose Battle Qi had transformed into wings.
"You reached the Dou Ancestor level?" Zi Yan asked curiously.
"No, I am still a seven-star Dou Emperor. I can only sense space by mobilizing Battle Qi." Xiao Ting smiled faintly. "However, my physique is quite strong, comparable to a seventh-rank magical beast, so I can easily manipulate spatial power."
Xiao Ting was actually being quite modest. In his current state, he was not merely comparable to a seventh-rank magical beast, but rather at the same level as the Ancient Void Dragon when it reached the seventh rank. However, whether he could reach the seventh rank together with Purple Flame was uncertain.
After all, Purple Flame carried the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon clan. Even if the body-tempering method created by the Lei Clan Dou Emperor was not qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with her at the same realm.
But the situation would be different if Xiao Ting cultivated it. He possessed Purple Beast Flame, and the power of lightning and flame was extraordinary, so the result would naturally be the same.
"Your spatial perception ability is quite excellent. Once you reach the Dou Emperor level, you will definitely be able to do it."
Xiao Ting glanced down at Zi Yan and guided her toward Purple Sky City.
…
Not long after, Xiao Ting arrived at the center of Purple Sky City.
There used to be a bamboo forest here, and in the middle of the bamboo forest was a bamboo building.
Han Feng had lived in seclusion there while cultivating.
However, when Yun Yun arrived, she changed it into a lake with an island in the middle according to his request. The surrounding area of the lake still had bamboo forests planted, and special plants lived there.
On the island in the middle of the lake stood a six-story tower. On the fifth floor, Xiao Ting sensed Yun Yun's training aura. It exuded sharp sword intent and sword Qi.
"Who!?" Yun Yun suddenly opened her eyes.
When she saw that the arriving person was Xiao Ting, her expression softened.
During these three months, she had always felt that someone was secretly watching Purple Sky City, but since they did not take unnecessary actions, she had been unable to act and had remained in a state of tension.
Now that Xiao Ting had returned, she could relax a lot.
"You finally decided to come back?" Yun Yun said with a slightly resentful tone.
"This is a rare opportunity." Xiao Ting chuckled. "It must have been hard for you to garrison Purple Sky City alone. Now that I have advanced to 6th-rank, after this mission is over, I will begin refining the Soul Purification Pill for Senior Yun Shan."
"I'm glad you remembered." Yun Yun was not angry. She was not the type to make unnecessary fuss.
"Since you helped guard Purple Sky City, I naturally have no intention of treating you unfairly," Xiao Ting said. "I happened to have a good opportunity. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to raise you to the Dou Ancestor level."
"Really!?" Yun Yun suddenly stood up.
Although she had inherited Yun Po Tian's legacy, she still needed a lot of time to reach the Dou Ancestor level.
If she polished her sword intent and raised her soul realm, reaching the Dou Venerable level in the future would not be a problem.
Reaching Dou Venerable in thirty years versus reaching it in three years had different meanings.
To accelerate cultivation, resources were needed.
Xiao Ting was a symbol of infinite resources, but that did not mean everyone could take whatever they wanted from him.
Now that he had decided to let her use them, at least he had not treated her unfairly.
"Cai Lin," Xiao Ting called gently.
"I will help guard Purple Sky City."
A seven-colored light flashed, and the Queen Medusa in a long red dress appeared.
With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she exuded an overwhelming aura. From the slightly slit skirt, her long, slender legs were faintly visible.
"I'll leave Zi Yan to you too. Don't let her cause trouble." Xiao Ting tossed Zi Yan to Cai Lin and took Yun Yun's hand. "Let's go."
Space distorted, and Xiao Ting and Yun Yun instantly disappeared.
"Ah!" Zi Yan finally realized she had been left behind and immediately tried to catch up.
However, Cai Lin placed her hand on Zi Yan's shoulder and pressed her down. "Don't go with me. It's troublesome."
"What's troublesome? There's no need to share benefits with her." Zi Yan pouted angrily.
"What opportunity did Xiao Ting use on Yun Yun?" Cai Lin patiently and gently asked Zi Yan.
"Isn't it just the Yin-Yang Heavenly Spirit Flower?" Zi Yan pouted. "A seventh-grade heavenly spiritual herb. What's so special about it?"
"You already knew you couldn't go?" Cai Lin asked, somewhat confused.
"Do you know why I can't go?" Zi Yan blinked and showed a puzzled expression.
Cai Lin: "…"
Just as Xiao Ting said, Zi Yan was still young in many ways.
…
Meanwhile, Xiao Ting guided Yun Yun to Yang Spring Valley and soon arrived at the center.
"You came at the perfect time."
Using his soul power covering a ten-mile radius, Xiao Ting instantly understood the situation.
The Yin-Yang Heavenly Spirit Flower was almost mature and would ripen in another three to five days.
On the two mountain peaks hid a one-star Dou Emperor and an eight-star Dou King. Their target was clearly this Yin-Yang Heavenly Spirit Flower.
The one-star Dou Emperor was an elder from Demon Flame Valley, while the eight-star Dou King emitted a cold aura that seemed to blend with the surrounding environment. If Xiao Ting had not been at the Spirit realm soul level, even ordinary cultivators would not have been able to sense him.
"This mysterious person seems to be from the Ling Clan?"
