Chapter 234: Taking the Purple Crystal Pill! Five-Star Dou Master!
After Xiao Yan left, Nalan Yanran sat cross-legged on a large rock near the quiet mountain cliff, not more than twenty miles from where he had been.
"An elixir personally crafted by the teacher, I hope it can help me advance my strength!" She muttered to herself and took out a purple pill from her storage ring.
This purple pill was the Purple Crystal Pill, which had been personally refined by Gu He.
The main material used in the production of the Purple Crystal Pill was the Purple Spirit Crystal that Gu He had obtained from the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's den.
The Purple Spirit Crystal was a rare and precious treasure that the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King took twenty years to condense.
Therefore, the quality of this Purple Crystal Pill was already comparable to a fifth-grade elixir.
The purpose of this Purple Crystal Pill was to immediately boost the strength of someone who had just entered the Dou Grandmaster realm, granting them three stars of strength.
With a sense of anticipation, Nalan Yanran did not hesitate and directly pinched the Purple Crystal Pill in her hand before swallowing it in one gulp.
The Purple Crystal Pill dissolved instantly upon entering her mouth, turning into an energy that flowed into Nalan Yanran's abdomen.
Nalan Yanran could clearly feel a gradually intensifying burning sensation as the medicinal energy entered her abdomen.
Sensing this, Nalan Yanran didn't dare to be careless and quickly operated her cultivation technique to refine the medicinal energy.
As the medicinal energy flowed through her body, the surrounding natural energy began to fluctuate violently. Visible ripples of energy spread out from her body in waves.
Her long skirt drifted on its own without wind, and a faint purple radiance appeared on her somewhat solemn face.
As the surrounding natural energy continued to pour into Nalan Yanran's body, her aura began to rise gradually.
In just a few breaths, she had broken through from a two-star Dou Master to a three-star Dou Master.
And this breakthrough process was still ongoing.
Four-star Dou Master!
Five-star Dou Master!
Nalan Yanran never expected that the power of a single elixir could allow her to break through three levels in the Dou Master realm.
"Phew!"
After taking a deep breath, Nalan Yanran stood up from the large rock where she had been sitting. She turned to face the mountain wall behind her and swung her sword forcefully. Instantly, rocks shattered, and a large crack several meters long appeared on the mountain wall.
Seeing the power she had effortlessly unleashed with a single strike, Nalan Yanran's confidence in the outcome of this training increased even more.
...
At this moment, in the Tagore Desert.
In the vast desert, where sand and wind raged, a young man dressed in an alchemist's robe was walking against the wind and sand. The row of footprints he left behind was gradually covered by the blowing sand.
Behind the young man, a massive creature was following closely. Upon closer inspection, it was a demon beast covered in purple crystals, resembling a lion.
If mercenaries who often roamed the Demon Beast Mountain Range saw this demon beast, they would undoubtedly exclaim in shock, "Purple Crystal Winged Lion King!"
However, compared to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King, this demon beast was clearly smaller, at most, it could be considered a Purple Crystal Winged Lion King cub.
This Purple Crystal Winged Lion King cub followed closely behind the young man, occasionally lowering its head to sniff the desert ground and, at other times, gazing vigilantly in a certain direction and letting out a low growl.
This scene undoubtedly revealed the relationship between the two.
The Purple Crystal Winged Lion King cub was the young man's pet.
Choosing to walk instead of riding in this scorching desert was an unusual decision, one that left people puzzled.
"Should we be close to Stone Desert City now?" Suddenly, the young man took out a scroll of parchment from his storage ring and carefully examined it, murmuring softly.
This young man was none other than Liu Ling, who had been in the Tagore Desert for more than half a month.
He reached out to touch the sweat on his face, which resembled raindrops. Liu Ling couldn't help but exhale hot breath.
The environment in the Tagore Desert was undeniably harsher than he had expected.
The sand underfoot, exposed to the scorching sun, was almost as hot as small iron pellets, making every step excruciating on his lips.
While walking, the sandstorms that came head-on, mixed with fine sand, hit his face, causing slight discomfort. This forced Liu Ling to constantly activate his Dou Qi and create a faint Dou Qi membrane on his face to prevent his face from being damaged by the sandstorm.
However, despite the harsh environment of the desert, Liu Ling found solace in the abundant fire attribute energy it contained.
Perhaps due to the relentless exposure to the sun, the concentration of fire attribute energy here was even more significant than the renowned cultivation sites like Yunlan Sect.
Moreover, this fire attribute energy was particularly pure and dominant, making it extremely suitable for Liu Ling to practice his fire attribute Dou Qi.
Being in the Tagore Desert, under the scorching sun, Liu Ling could clearly feel that the fire attribute Dou Qi flowing through his body was more active and joyful than usual.
After walking for nearly a hundred meters again, Liu Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked his parched lips, and took out a bottle of water from his storage ring. He drank a few gulps before letting out a sigh of relief and said with a bitter smile, "Practicing on foot in the desert, Master, you really picked a great place for me."
For the past half a month, Liu Ling had followed Gu He's instructions.
Since entering the Tagore Desert, he hadn't ridden the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King cub for transportation. Instead, he chose to walk all the way.
The half-month of intense exposure to the sun had turned Liu Ling's fair skin into a deep bronze.
Walking in the scorching desert, to an outsider, would seem like an extremely foolish choice.
However, in Liu Ling's heart, he felt fulfilled.
This kind of feeling was bittersweet.
Although it was tough, he could clearly feel the growth of his cultivation level within his body, and Liu Ling was content with that.
At this moment, thoughts of Xiao Yixian and Nalan Yanran's training tasks crossed Liu Ling's mind.
The Empire of Jia Ma, the Demon Beast Mountain Range, these two places were fraught with danger, life-threatening challenges.
Compared to the two of them, Liu Ling's training task was undoubtedly much safer.
He was just experiencing a bit of hardship, nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking about Gu He's instructions when he left, a firm look appeared in Liu Ling's eyes.
"Keep moving forward."
"Master is right; for practitioners of fire attribute Dou Qi, even walking in this desert is a form of cultivation!"
With a silent encouragement, Liu Ling raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the desert sky. He licked his lips and muttered, "(End of this chapter)"
