Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 26 Those who know, know.

"Sect Master, you overestimate me. It's just that my three close friends arrived at an extraordinary speed after learning that I was going to devour the strange fire, which truly exceeded my expectations. Now, I still need about a month and a half to refine the pills needed to devour the Nine Dragons Thunderfire. Therefore, during this period, I humbly request Sect Master Yun to allow my three friends to stay at Yunlan Sect for the time being, out of consideration for me."

Yun Yun's gaze slowly swept over the three of them, her cold aura as a Dou Huang scrutinizing them from head to toe.

"Isn't it said that Sect Master Yun cultivates wind-attribute battle qi? Why is her wind different from mine? Her wind is too cold..." Feng Li muttered to himself as he looked at Lion King Yan Shi.

Meanwhile, the snake king Kui She, who was a little further away from them, sniffed, but his expression was one of dissatisfaction, after all, his nose was still slowly bleeding.

"Approved. Go find Yun Ling for the specific arrangements," Yun Yun said calmly. "It just so happens that the Mittel family will send two kinds of medicinal materials for the Wind and Purple Spirit Pill in two months, and we will set off in a month and a half. I can also pick up some Purple Spirit Crystals on my way back."

Upon hearing this, Gu He quickly clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Yun." He then led the three people behind him away.

Although Kui She was unwilling, he had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being, since the difference in strength was too great and this place was Yunlan Sect territory, which was not a good location and the people were not on good terms.

After leaving the sect leader's mansion, Gu He led the three to find the Grand Elder, Yun Ling. Along the way, Gu He kept nagging Kui She: "Brother Kui, look at you! When will you ever get rid of this impulsive nature?"

"Oh dear, Master Gu, it's something I can't change. I've lived for forty-seven years, and this habit is deeply ingrained," Kui She said, gesturing beside Gu He.

Gu He suddenly turned his head, his gaze turning cold, and said coldly, "Can habit be an excuse? If someone is used to stealing, does that habit justify stealing? Let me tell you, apart from the 'Thousand Machine Poison Pill' that could save your life, the other two pills you mentioned, the 'Blood Wolf Frenzy Pill' and the 'Illusory Mist Concealment Pill,' are all gone now."

"Ah?! No, Brother Gu, I know I was wrong. Please don't take away my pills. I really need all three!" Kui She immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant and hurriedly begged Gu He in a low voice.

Gu He snorted softly, his hands behind his back, and slowly said, "If you can fully assist me in successfully devouring the Nine Dragons Thunderfire in this operation, I will consider giving you the 'Illusory Mist Concealment Pill.' Don't think I don't know your little scheme—trying to sneak into the Izumo Empire's royal harem. As for the 'Blood Wolf Frenzy Pill,' that depends on my mood. If you dare offend my Yun'er again, then go find Gouqi and see if it works for you."

"Ah... no, Brother Gu. How about this, I'll steal the Queen of Izumo and we can do it together?" Kui She shouted after Gu He. "Hey... Brother Gu, you go first, you go first."

Guhe remained silent, only slightly turning his face to give Kui She a knowing look.

……

Wutan City, the Xiao family.

"I am well aware of the matter of being a guest, it is merely a place of residence, which is not a difficult matter for my Xiao family." Xiao Zhan responded calmly with a smile to Zhongli's arrangements regarding Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor stood quietly beside Zhong Li, without saying a word. She looked just like a student being called to the office for a talk with the teacher, her posture both demure and obedient.

Zhong Li nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his lips, as everything before him was progressing smoothly as he had expected.

After being tempered by the Thunder and Lightning True Notes, Zhongli's skills in refining various elixirs have reached their pinnacle. However, this is quite contrary to the core values ​​of retirement life.

After all, in Liyue, even those who are retired and rehired can enjoy double the salary, but Zhongli seems to have nothing.

But as a master, how could he ignore his disciple and fail to fulfill his responsibilities? After much thought, Zhongli came up with a brilliant solution that could be considered the best of both worlds—to live with the Xiao family.

Although the cultivation resources possessed by the Xiao family cannot be compared with those of a renowned sect like the Yunlan Sect in the Jia Ma Empire, they are extremely abundant in terms of the cultivation resources required for Dou Zhe and Dou Shi, which can fully meet the resource needs of Little Fairy Doctor before she becomes a Great Dou Shi.

Anyway, even if Xiao Yan were given a rare treasure like the Purple Cloud Wings, he would most likely return it to the Xiao family. It would be better to use Little Fairy Doctor's help to bring about a happy union between Zhongli.

"Clan Chief Xiao, my intention here is that my disciple can enjoy the cultivation resources of the Xiao family, just like the other members of the Xiao family. Of course, my little disciple is by no means someone who will take advantage of others for free," Zhong Li said slowly.

After speaking, he gave Little Fairy Doctor a meaningful look. Little Fairy Doctor understood immediately and took out a purple-colored manual from her storage ring. Then, she walked lightly to Xiao Zhan and respectfully handed him the manual.

Xiao Zhan calmly took the manual and examined it carefully with focused attention.

Zhong Li spoke first, saying, "Clan Chief Xiao, consider this a gift as a contract for my disciple's stay at the Xiao family. This is a high-level Xuan-rank flying combat skill—the Purple Cloud Wings. It can be added to the Xiao family's library and will belong to the Xiao family from now on."

In the realm of flight combat techniques, their value is particularly evident in the uniqueness and exquisite craftsmanship of their wing-making skills. Each flight combat technique is closely linked to a specific method of crafting its wings, forming a unique correspondence. Although the Xiao family may find it difficult to acquire large quantities of the fifth-tier Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagles needed to craft the Purple Cloud Wings, they are not entirely unwilling to expend their resources.

Moreover, once you master this crafting technique, even if you put the Purple Cloud Wings up for auction in the future to exchange for huge sums of gold coins or other high-level martial arts techniques, it will still be a wise move that guarantees a profit.

"I will offer a high reward to the powerful forces of the three surrounding empires to see if I can purchase a fifth-tier Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle." Xiao Zhan could not hide his excitement and suddenly stood up.

Xiao Zhan seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to Butler Mo outside the door and instructed, "Old Mo, arrange a superior, clean guest room for the young apprentice of our guest master. Young ladies love cleanliness, so arrange the furniture and environment according to Xun'er's standards. I'll pay for it."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Yes," Butler Mo replied, slowly walking up to Little Fairy Doctor. "Miss, please come with me."

Little Fairy Doctor turned to look at Zhong Li, who nodded slightly in agreement.

"The Mo family is very reliable; feel free to make any requests you may have."

"Okay."

Now that we've resolved Little Fairy Doctor's problem, it's time to check on Xiao Yan's situation.

Zhongli's divine sense dissipated, instantly expanding and enveloping the entire Wutan City.

"Why are you playing with a big black ruler in the back hill?"
