Consuming the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source

Chapter 108: Consuming the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source

"Ugh~~~~~"

Inside the cave, Xiao Yan sat up leisurely, stretching comfortably with a yawn.

He had been undergoing high-intensity training these days, and the only moments he felt truly relaxed were when he slept and woke up.

"Go wash your face and get ready for training~"

Xiao Yan pressed his neck, flipped off the stone bed, and his gaze fell on two items placed on the stone table.

"What's that?"

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and walked over to the stone table to take a look.

One was a letter, and the other was a light blue inner armor.

The inner armor...

Xiao Yan picked it up and couldn't help but sniff it, muttering softly, "It smells like Yun Zhi."

As soon as he said that, Xiao Yan slapped his forehead, his face showing embarrassment.

"Ugh, I'm really becoming more like Senior Yao…"

Just as Xiao Yan shook off that awkward thought, Yao Chen also appeared from the ring.

"This is the Sea Heart Armor. It's made from a rare metal found in the body of a six-star magical beast, the three-tailed blue whale. Its defensive power is extremely high," Yao Chen said, gently pinching her delicate chin. "Not to mention whether it's available for sale in the market, if it were, it could probably go for around a million gold coins."

"A million gold coins?!"

Xiao Yan was shocked, then calmed down and picked up the letter. He opened it to read the contents.

"Xiao Yan, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Don't worry about me, my strength has fully recovered."

"I have been really happy these days living with you. Thanks to you, I was able to lay down my identity and enjoy some peaceful moments."

"If it weren't for you, I would have died at the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's cave that day. These days when my strength was sealed, you've always been protecting me. This Sea Heart Armor is my possession. Please take it, treat it as a reward, and don't refuse it, unless you want to make me angry."

"Also, there's one thing I need to apologize for."

"My real name is not Yun Zhi. As for my true identity, you will naturally find out when we meet next time."

"So until then, let me remain a mystery~"

"Goodbye, Xiao Yan."

Looking at the elegant handwriting on the letter, Xiao Yan's expression gradually darkened, and a deep sense of loneliness filled his eyes.

"She's gone…"

Although Xiao Yan always told himself that there could never be anything between him and Yun Zhi, and he constantly reminded himself of that, he couldn't deny that Yun Zhi was indeed the first woman who had truly made him feel a deep affection.

However, Xiao Yan also understood that due to their differences in status, they would eventually part ways.

What saddened him the most was that he never had the chance to say goodbye to Yun Zhi in person.

As for Yun Zhi's true identity, Xiao Yan didn't care. The fact that she concealed her real name didn't make him angry.

No matter who Yun Zhi really was, in Xiao Yan's heart, she would always be the gentle and upright Yun Zhi.

"Xiao Yan, are you regretting it?"

Yao Chen teased from the side. Xiao Yan folded the letter and put it back in the envelope, laughing lightly.

"It's not regret, just a bit lonely. After all, I've gotten used to Yun Zhi's company these days."

Xiao Yan put the envelope into his storage ring, then looked at the Sea Heart Armor on the stone table.

If it were in the past, Xiao Yan would have kept such a valuable item and planned to return it to Yun Zhi when they met again in the future.

But perhaps Yun Zhi had anticipated Xiao Yan's plan, as she not only gave him a reason to accept the armor in the letter, but also clearly stated the consequences of rejecting it.

This subtly showed just how well Yun Zhi understood Xiao Yan.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh again.

If his status were a bit higher, and Yun Zhi's status a bit lower, he definitely wouldn't hold back and would actively pursue Yun Zhi.

But in the end, that was only a "what if." Overthinking such things would only bring unnecessary troubles.

"Alright, enough thinking about that!"

Xiao Yan temporarily put away the Sea Heart Armor and began stretching his body.

"Time to continue today's training!"

"Wait a moment, Xiao Yan."

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave the cave, Yao Chen called out to him. Xiao Yan looked at Yao Chen in confusion.

"Senior Yao, what is it?"

"Take out the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source. You didn't absorb it a few days ago because Yun Zhi was here. Now that she's gone, you should use it."

"Oh, right!"

Xiao Yan suddenly realized. If Yao Chen hadn't reminded him, he would have completely forgotten!

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan took out the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source from his storage ring. He stared at the purple liquid inside the bottle for a while, then looked toward Yao Chen with a puzzled expression.

"Um, Senior Yao, how do I use this?"

"I'm not really sure either. Just drink it and see what happens?"

Yao Chen shrugged lightly.

"Drink it directly?"

Xiao Yan stared at the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source for a moment, then no longer hesitated. He sat down cross-legged, opened the bottle, and swallowed all of the purple liquid.

Trusting the teacher is the disciple's duty.

Although Yao Chen said she wasn't sure, Xiao Yan knew well that Yao Chen wasn't all-knowing. There would be many things in the future that she wouldn't be able to predict. If he hesitated due to fear of danger, he wouldn't be able to follow the right path or absorb the different flames to refine Yao Chen's body.

To achieve results, one must be willing to pay the price—this was an absolute truth!

Yao Chen, watching Xiao Yan with his eyes closed in deep thought, couldn't help but smile wryly as she gazed at him with her ruby-like pupils, a gleam of light flashing within them.

Under normal circumstances, Yao Chen would never recommend that an eight-star Dou Practitioner directly consume the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source. The energy in it was far too violent, and even a Da Dou Shi might not be able to withstand it. Without external support, most likely, the person would be backlashed by the violent energy of the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source and die.

But Xiao Yan was different.

The more Yao Chen observed Xiao Yan's training, the more she realized how terrifying this body was.

Whenever Yao Chen tried to overestimate Xiao Yan's physical strength, she would find herself underestimating it every time.

After all, this body could even barely withstand Heavenly flames, let alone something as simple as the Accompanying Purple Crystal Source.

So how did this body even get trained to this level?

Yao Chen couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

What was even more terrifying was that Xiao Yan wasn't the only one with this terrifying physique. Even the younger members of the Xiao family, who had been trained under Xiao Yan's supervision, might not be able to compare to him, but they were definitely close.

Other families might only have one genius every few decades, but the Xiao family? Xiao Yan single-handedly brought up more than twenty monsters in one go. It was simply outrageous.

Yao Chen shook her head lightly and stopped thinking about it. She floated in the air, watching Xiao Yan and waiting silently for the result.
