This kid, is he really going to live off his rich girlfriend now?

Su Yun felt a twinge of envy.

To be honest, being a rich lolita is quite appealing.

If he had the surname Xiao, he might have tried to cling to a powerful leg when he was four.

But alas, there are no ifs in life, and he couldn't board that big ship.

Su Yun shook the thought out of his mind.

The progress in his cultivation over the years had given him some confidence. With his precognitive abilities and the System's power, he had the qualifications to reach the peak.

Being a rich lolita would only slow down his cultivation.

Su Yun flew back home, where his Martial Qi had been significantly depleted. He sat cross-legged and restored his Martial Qi to its peak, then entered the System space.

The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body was so massive that his small courtyard couldn't even contain a fraction of it.

For Su Yun, the System space was the safest place.

Extracting the Purple Fire seed from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body was a long and tedious process, and it couldn't be interrupted, or it would easily fail.

Therefore, Su Yun decided to extract it in the System space.

Upon entering the System space, the massive body of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King came into view, resembling a small mountain from Su Yun's perspective.

In comparison, Su Yun appeared quite insignificant.

Picking up the spoils of victory was indeed a delightful task. Su Yun nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the massive creature before him.

Su Yun prepared himself, sitting cross-legged. His Martial Qi surged, boiling within his body and producing a faint sound as it surged through his meridians.

Su Yun placed his palm on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's blood-soaked body, closed his eyes, and summoned his soul force.

Martial Qi and soul force worked together to direct the Purple Fire covering the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body in one direction.

A faint purple light emitted from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body, and its temperature gradually rose.

Su Yun's brows furrowed as he focused all his attention on the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, not daring to relax for a moment.

Su Yun gradually increased the transmission of Martial Qi and soul force. This was a considerable amount of work.

If it were a regular Great Fighter, they wouldn't be able to do it at all.

However, Su Yun, having lived two lives, had a naturally powerful soul force, and he had also cultivated a soul technique.

His soul force had skyrocketed, far surpassing that of a mere fourth-rank alchemist.

Additionally, he had the fire control experience of the Medicine Elder and the Pure Lotus Demon Sage, allowing him to fully utilize his Martial Qi and soul force without wasting a single bit.

All these factors combined allowed him to extract the fire seed from a sixth-rank magical beast with the cultivation of a Great Fighter.

As time passed, Su Yun's Martial Qi was rapidly depleted, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Su Yun clenched his teeth and swallowed the Qi Recovery Pills he had been holding in his mouth.

After some more time, the Purple Fire within the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body was almost completely gathered.

Su Yun gritted his teeth, knowing this was the final step. He had already successfully passed the previous stages, and he couldn't let all his efforts go to waste now.

"Condense!"

Su Yun shouted, increasing the input of soul force and Martial Qi. A light point with purple flames rose from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's body.

Su Yun was overjoyed upon seeing it. He had succeeded!

He carefully placed the fire seed into a specially crafted jade bottle.

Su Yun took a deep breath, his eyes filled with burning passion.

The realm of Spirit Fighter was not far from him.

At this level, he would be able to do much more.

Firstly, upon breaking through to Spirit Fighter, his Martial Qi would surge, and the increase in strength would be significant.

More importantly, at this level, he would be able to refine fifth-rank pills!

The Blood Lotus Pill, which he needed to prepare for the absorption of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, was a fifth-rank pill!

He had always planned to break through to Spirit Fighter before heading to the Tallgor Great Desert, and this Blood Lotus Pill was one of the reasons.

Although the System's fusion function could produce it, it would require a fifth-rank magical core, which was not easy to obtain in the Jiamai Empire.

Even if he had the financial means, it was uncertain whether such cores were available on the market.

Fifth-rank magical beasts, equivalent to human Great Lords, were limited in number in the Jiamai Empire.

Moreover, he had yet to cultivate any Earth Rank Martial Techniques and was still waiting for a fifth-rank magical core to fuse with one.

Placing the jade bottle aside, Su Yun swallowed more Qi Recovery Pills to restore his Martial Qi to full capacity.

After recovery, Su Yun began searching for herbs in the System space.

The beast fire extracted from a sixth-rank magical beast, even if it couldn't compare to a Heavenly Flame, was not something a Great Fighter could absorb without preparation.

The second-rank pills, Pulse Guard Pill and Ice Heart Pill, used to absorb the two fourth-rank beast fires were no longer effective, as their levels were too low.

He planned to refine a fourth-rank pill that would create a thin layer of ice within a fighter's body, which would be more than sufficient to refine the Purple Fire.

Su Yun carefully searched, but his face suddenly turned awkward.

He had enough herbs, but he was missing a magical core. Refining this pill required a fourth-rank ice-type magical core.

Fourth-rank magical cores were not hard to find, but ice-type ones were another matter.

Su Yun sighed. In the end, he still had to find a fourth-rank magical beast.

Life is a subject that takes a lifetime to complete. No matter how much he circled around, he always returned to the starting point.

Today's time was insufficient; it was already dark.

Su Yun cultivated all night, took a short rest, and the next day, he headed back into the Beast Mountain Range.

In the sky, Su Yun used the Phantom Shadow Technique to remain invisible and flew using the Purple Cloud Wing.

Su Yun frowned. Fourth-rank magical beasts were plentiful, but finding an ice-type fourth-rank magical beast was not easy.

Su Yun flew in the sky, searching for lakes and damp, cold areas.

Generally, magical beasts chose their habitats based on their attributes.

For example, fire-type magical beasts preferred living in volcanoes or hot regions, while earth-type magical beasts liked staying in caves or burrowing into the ground.

Ice-type magical beasts naturally preferred icy plains.

However, this was not a place like the extreme north, where it was cold year-round, so there were no large ice fields.

He had to settle for lakes and damp, cold areas.

The Beast Mountain Range was vast, and Su Yun had to maintain the Phantom Shadow Technique and the Purple Cloud Wing, which consumed a lot of Martial Qi.

Therefore, Su Yun had to return to the System space to recover his Martial Qi periodically before resuming his search.

After a day of flying and stopping, Su Yun still hadn't found what he was looking for.

But he didn't lose heart. He returned to his routine from his days in the Beast Mountain Range, searching during the day and cultivating in the System space at night.

This went on for three more days before things finally took a turn for the better.

In a damp, cold cave, two fourth-rank magical beasts were resting.

And Su Yun was now standing at the entrance of the cave.

He slowly stepped into the cave, making no sound, his form and aura concealed by the Phantom Shadow Technique.
