**Chapter 34: Trade Again!**
"That's not the case.
From what I've observed, his cultivation hasn't reached the Dou Wang realm yet," Yao Lao's voice echoed in Xiao Yan's ear, tinged with amazement.
"Then why does Xiao Ning have wings of Dou Qi? I thought only Dou Wang experts could condense wings," Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.
Yao Lao responded, "Wu Tan City and the Jia Ma Empire are too small.
The people there lack experience,the wings you're seeing aren't Dou Qi wings; they're flying fighting skills."
Xiao Yan was confused. "Flying fighting skills? What are those?"
Yao Lao explained, "The sky is where the strong belong.
Flying fighting skills allow people to fly before reaching the Dou Wang level, they are incredibly rare and costly, often exceeding a million gold coins."
Xiao Yan was stunned and excited. "Teacher, do you have any flying fighting skills?"
Yao Lao fell silent, momentarily awkward.
Xiao Ning, sensing Xiao Yan's confusion, waited patiently.
He knew Xiao Yan's secrets and guessed what he might be doing offline.
After a brief pause, Xiao Ning crushed the red giant wolf he had defeated and greeted Xiao Yan,
"Long time no see. Your strength has improved."
Xiao Yan, coming back to his senses, shook his head in awe.
"No, it's obvious that you've made more progress. You could only kill a great Dou Shi with a sword before, but now..."
Xiao Ning explained about the Purple Cloud Wing, making Xiao Yan even more envious.
Xiao Yan's frustration turned into determination, motivating him to work harder.
After exchanging experiences, Xiao Ning got to the point.
"I found something in the cave that might be useful to you, but it's not to me."
He tossed an ancient black scroll to Xiao Yan, who caught it with a puzzled look.
"Open it and see."
Xiao Yan's eyes widened with excitement as he read,
"The Xuan-level advanced fighting skill, Mad Lion Song, which allows one to condense fighting spirit into a lion shape and launch powerful attacks."
Staring at the scroll, Xiao Yan was reluctant to part with it.
"This Mad Lion Song is too valuable, I can't accept it for free."
Xiao Ning smiled, appreciating Xiao Yan's sense of honor.
"I'm not giving it to you for free, I want to trade it for some body-tempering pills and spiritual liquids, preferably stronger than Xuanxue Spiritual Liquid."
He casually threw a pile of medicinal materials on the ground.
Xiao Yan, though heartbroken, agreed.
"Okay,how will I find you after preparing the medicine?"
Xiao Ning replied, "I'll be in the Mountains, after practicing, I'll come find you."
"Alright, it's getting late,I have other things to do. See you later, Cousin Xiao Yan."
Xiao Ning waved goodbye and, with the aid of the Purple Cloud Wings, flew off.
Xiao Yan, still admiring the wings, sighed at Xiao Ning's increasing strength.
Later, Xiao Yan extracted the magic core from the red giant wolf's corpse, reflecting on Xiao Ning's growing power.
