Chapter 175: Obtaining the Purple Crystal Source!

Due to Yun Yun's presence, the activities of the magical beasts in the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range became more active. However, this did not affect Xiao Ze at all.

From time to time, he covered his body with his illusionary power and went out to search for medicinal herbs. In this land rarely explored by humans, Xiao Ze found many medicinal herbs that left him satisfied.

Xiao Ze even accidentally discovered a small valley full of medicinal herbs, obtaining an abundant harvest. Meanwhile, Yun Yun focused on breaking the seal while Xiao Ze was out.

In the cave, Yun Yun looked at the rabbit that Xiao Ze had caught earlier. With a snap of her hands, she broke the rabbit's neck.

"Today, I'm going to roast the rabbit myself. I feel a bit bad for letting Xiao Ze always do it."

Yun Yun recalled Xiao Ze's preparation methods. Following his example, she clumsily prepared the rabbit.

"Now I have to light the fire..."

Looking at the campfire, Yun Yun tried to remember how Xiao Ze had roasted the rabbit the day before.

"It seems pretty simple, I can do it!"

Soon, a slight burnt smell reached Yun Yun's nose, making her a little nervous.

"Eh? Why did it burn?"

After a while, Yun Yun silently looked at the half-raw, half-burnt rabbit.

When Xiao Ze returned to the cave with an abundant harvest and in a good mood, he saw Yun Yun sitting in meditation, not trying to break the seal, just meditating.

Curious, Xiao Ze noticed the previous rabbit had disappeared... He observed the cave and understood what had happened.

"Did you try to roast the rabbit yourself and it went wrong?"

Xiao Ze spoke suddenly, making Yun Yun, who was meditating, slightly open her eyes.

Yun Yun looked at him and saw Xiao Ze's teasing smile.

"Ahem, I saw you make it look so easy, so I wanted to try, but..."

Hearing Yun Yun, Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh. This was a typical case of "looks easy but isn't."

"Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

Yun Yun, with an interested expression, nodded. Xiao Ze's cooking skills were not advanced, but he could easily teach Yun Yun.

The two started cooking together, creating a harmonious atmosphere. As a powerful Dou Huang, Yun Yun quickly learned the skill of roasting.

After several failed attempts with some fish, Yun Yun finally managed to prepare an edible roasted fish.

Tasting her roasted fish, Yun Yun smiled. Despite being a simple task, she felt happier than when learning a new battle technique.

"By the way, Xiao Ze, I think I'll be able to break the seal tomorrow."

Yun Yun said after finishing eating.

"That's great. That way, we can both achieve our goals."

Xiao Ze nodded.

"And then what will you do?"

"Return to the academy. This time I only asked for permission to return to the empire to resolve some issues."

Hearing this, Yun Yun showed a slight disappointment. Although she knew that Xiao Ze, as an elder of the Jia Nan Academy, could not stay long in the Jia Ma Empire, hearing him say he would leave immediately after completing his mission made her feel a bit sad.

"Really? Well, that will give me enough time to prepare a thank you gift. Next time you come to the Jia Ma Empire, I'll have a surprise for you!"

Yun Yun perked up, looking at Xiao Ze.

"No need, as I said before, it was just a small favor."

Xiao Ze said without giving it much importance.

"No, you saved my life. At least let me show my gratitude."

Yun Yun insisted, "Besides, we are friends, right? Friends don't owe each other anything!"

"Alright."

Xiao Ze petted the small multicolored snake's head and nodded.

After all, he wasn't sure when he would return to the Jia Ma Empire. Seeing Xiao Ze agree, Yun Yun smiled.

"Then it's decided. I'll break the seal!"

Yun Yun, excited, finally had a reason for Xiao Ze to come see her, or for her to go find him.

The next day, Xiao Ze slowly opened his eyes. Yun Yun had already changed into new clothes, looking noble and elegant. When Yun Yun turned and looked at Xiao Ze, she gave a slight smile.

"Let's go, Xiao Ze, today I will avenge my defeat from yesterday."

"Hope everything goes well today."

They both left the cave, Yun Yun turning her head to take one last look at the cave before leaving. In a few days, many places already showed signs of their stay. Although she shared the cave with Xiao Ze, only the first day of healing had a romantic hue.

But for Yun Yun, these days were unique.

Since she was young, Yun Yun had never lived like this.

From a young age, her life was always dominated by training.

Before becoming the leader of her sect, and even afterward.

Yun Yun knew she would always remember these days with her power sealed.

In the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a blue energy burst out, and with the power of dou qi, Yun Yun's voice echoed through the mountains.

"Purple Crystal Winged Lion King! I've come for a rematch!"

"Human! You are seeking your death!"

Two energies, one blue and one purple, collided and spread out.

Nearby magical beasts trembled, crouching without daring to move.

Xiao Ze, covered in illusory energy, watched as the two energies moved away.

"I didn't expect Yun Yun to be so persistent. It seems the defeat by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King left her very dissatisfied."

Xiao Ze shook his head and entered the lair of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

His spiritual energy extended, moving quickly through the cave, unnoticed by the guardian beasts.

Soon, Xiao Ze reached a purple crystal platform radiating intense heat.

On the platform was a purple sphere the size of a head.

"This is the Purple Crystal Source!"

Xiao Ze placed both hands on the sphere, trying to pull it off.

Crack!

"It seems that what Yao Lao said about only Purple Crystal being able to break this sphere wasn't entirely true."

"With enough force, any restriction can be overcome."

Storing the sphere in his storage ring, Xiao Ze began to search for the Purple Crystal, which should be near the small Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Following his spiritual perception, Xiao Ze found the small Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

Boom!

He knocked it unconscious and found a sharp, irregular purple stone nearby.

"Obtaining the Purple Crystal was easier than expected."

With the Purple Crystal Source and the Purple Crystal in hand, Xiao Ze notified Yun Yun that it was time to leave.

The depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range would soon fall into chaos.

Near the waterfall, a grateful Yun Yun took the Purple Crystal from Xiao Ze's hands.

"Xiao Ze, thank you. Not only did you save my life, but you also helped me obtain the Purple Crystal. Don't worry, the next time we meet, I will have a gift that will satisfy you."

"Then I'll look forward to it." Xiao Ze smiled. "Well, I'm off."

Yun Yun watched Xiao Ze's figure disappear into the distance, clenching her fists slightly, not knowing when they would meet again.
