Su Yun took out two Jade Bottles from the System Space.
He had Xiao Yu hand them to Xiao Zhan and Jia Liebi respectively.
"Patriarch Xiao, the one in your hand is a Rank 4 Elixir, the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill. It can boost a Great Martial Master's strength by three stars.
However, if the refinement fails, there will be backlash, and there's a risk of a decrease in strength," Su Yun said, sipping his tea casually.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and Jia Liebi's eyes widened. The temptation of a three-star boost made them subconsciously ignore the risk of backlash.
Xiao Zhan quickly expressed his gratitude, a smile plastered on his face.
"Thank you, Master Han. I will accept this medicinal pill."
"Mm-hmm."
Su Yun nodded. He had already used this before, and it was just right as a reward.
While the Xiao Family's strength was not impressive to him, they still had their uses, like handling trivial matters such as exterminating small families, which was quite convenient.
Jia Liebi, standing to the side, looked at the medicinal pill in his hand and asked cautiously.
"Master Han, may I ask about the one in my hand?"
Jia Liebi's tone was careful, as his relationship with Su Yun was not as close as Xiao Zhan's.
"Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, also a Rank 4 Elixir. It can only boost one star in strength, but there is no backlash. Compared to the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, it is relatively stable," Su Yun explained. The Jia Family had contributed significantly this time, so it was appropriate to give them some benefits.
Jia Liebi's face lit up with joy. Although the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill was not as good as the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill, he was still content.
After giving them their rewards, Su Yun planned to leave. He had no intention of waiting for the three elders to return; with his status, he didn't need to.
Su Yun stood up and bowed to Jia Liebi and Xiao Zhan.
"I will take my leave first. The remnants of the Oba Family are left to your care."
Xiao Zhan and Jia Liebi quickly stood up, nodding in agreement. Su Yun left the Xiao Family amidst their grateful words.
He had been out for some time and needed to hurry back, or else the girl would worry.
As Su Yun walked, a smile appeared on his face, as if he was thinking of something.
In no time, Su Yun arrived near his house, the outline of the distant house already visible to him.
As he took a few steps forward, his brows suddenly furrowed.
There was a Beast's aura!
A hint of worry flashed through Su Yun's mind. He activated the Mysterious Shadow Step and sprinted forward.
Due to his concern, Su Yun did not enter through the front, but instead climbed over the wall.
When he returned to his courtyard, he saw Little Medical Fairy with a flying Beast, and it didn't seem like they were in danger.
Su Yun's frown eased. The flying Beast was a Blue Eagle with a body covered in blue feathers.
Recalling his past life, Su Yun vaguely understood what was happening.
He was somewhat moved by the whimsical nature of fate. He hadn't expected that in this world, Little Medical Fairy would still encounter this Blue Eagle.
Little Medical Fairy's back was turned to Su Yun, and his Mysterious Shadow Step was already at a high level. When he climbed over the wall, there was no sound, but the Blue Eagle noticed him and let out a few weak cries.
However, the sound was not loud and clearly indicated that it was severely injured.
The Blue Eagle turned its head and let out another cry. Little Medical Fairy, looking puzzled, turned around.
"Brother!"
Little Medical Fairy's voice was filled with surprise. Whenever Su Yun returned from an outing, Little Medical Fairy would always be this delighted.
Su Yun's face lit up with a smile, and he opened his arms. Little Medical Fairy ran over and threw herself into Su Yun's embrace.
Holding the warm and soft Little Medical Fairy in his arms, Su Yun buried his head in her hair, gently inhaling her scent.
After a while, they separated, and Su Yun finally asked.
"Xian'er, how did this Blue Eagle end up at home?"
"Oh, it came down from the sky shortly after you left, severely injured. So Xian'er bandaged it up," Little Medical Fairy explained. She seemed to remember something and quickly added, "Brother, don't worry. Xian'er only approached it after making sure I wouldn't be in danger."
Su Yun poked Little Medical Fairy's forehead.
"You, don't do that again."
Little Medical Fairy's face lit up with a sweet smile.
Brother is the best. Xian'er knew Brother wouldn't be upset with me.
Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy approached the Blue Eagle and squatted down in front of it.
Having a Blue Eagle around would be good for Little Medical Fairy. He was often busy with cultivation and alchemy, and Little Medical Fairy might get bored being alone.
Su Yun reached out to examine the Blue Eagle's injuries, but the Blue Eagle let out a long cry and retreated.
Little Medical Fairy extended her hand and gently stroked the trembling body of the Blue Eagle, speaking softly and soothingly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Brother just wants to help you heal, he won't hurt you."
Perhaps her words had an effect, and the Blue Eagle's body calmed down.
Seeing this, Su Yun extended his hand again to examine the Blue Eagle's injuries.
He removed the bandages, revealing a deep wound that was about three feet long. The wound was smooth and even, likely caused by a sharp weapon like a sword.
It was probably injured by a mercenary group in the area.
Su Yun completely removed the bandages, and Little Medical Fairy helped.
Previously, Little Medical Fairy had only applied some hemostatic medicine to the Blue Eagle. To fully recover, it would have to rely on its own healing ability.
Su Yun took out two Jade Bottles from his storage ring. He fed a pill to the Blue Eagle from one bottle and handed the other to Little Medical Fairy, instructing her to sprinkle it on the wound and re-bandage it.
After a while, Little Medical Fairy finished, and the Blue Eagle was once again wrapped in bandages.
The two stepped back, and under the effect of Su Yun's pill, the Blue Eagle regained some energy. It raised its head and let out a loud cry, its voice strong and no longer weak.
Little Medical Fairy watched the Blue Eagle regain its vitality and smiled happily.
Su Yun patted Little Medical Fairy's little head.
The Blue Eagle flapped its wings but didn't take off. Instead, it folded its wings and lowered its head, extending it toward Su Yun and Little Medical Fairy.
A hint of surprise flashed across Little Medical Fairy's face as she reached out to touch the Blue Eagle's head.
Su Yun's face also showed a smile as he extended his hand.
The Blue Eagle's action was like that of an ancient vassal expressing loyalty to a king.
In other words, the Blue Eagle had submitted to them.
In the Martial Arts Continent, there was no such thing as a Beast contract. To gain a Beast's loyalty, one had to capture a young one and spend a long time cultivating a bond with it.
Su Yun stroked the Blue Eagle's azure feathers, a different thought crossing his mind.
A flicker of contemplation appeared in Su Yun's eyes, but after a moment, he shook his head and said to Little Medical Fairy.
"Xian'er, give it a name."
Little Medical Fairy nodded, her small fingers tapping her head, seemingly in thought.
After a while, her eyes lit up.
"Let's call it Little Lan."
