Battle Through the Heavens: Achievement System at the Start

Just then, Xiao Yao suddenly felt his soul storage ring tremble slightly. He smiled and comforted her, "Xun'er, even if your brother Xiao Yao isn't with you, you'll have people close to you."

After speaking, Xiao Yao raised the soul storage ring on his finger high into the sky. A huge figure engulfed in flames flew out of the ring and soared into the air, making a soft moaning sound.

After circling gracefully in the air a few times, it flew towards Xiao Yao. Just as it was about to approach Xiao Yao, its enormous figure finally shrunk to the size of a palm, gracefully resting on Xiao Yao's shoulder, affectionately nuzzling his cheek, and letting out a joyful chirp.

Xiao Yao gently stroked its delicate and soft feathers and said softly, "Little guy, you've finally woken up. Tsk tsk, not bad. You actually managed to digest the energy that Xun'er and I gave you and successfully reached the peak of the fourth rank."

Xun'er stood to the side, watching this scene with a joyful expression on her face, and softly called out, "Fengming, come here to Xun'er." Her voice was full of tenderness.

"Little guy, your mistress is calling you. She hasn't forgotten how you used to cling to her all the time." Xiao Yao gently tapped its little head after hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Fengming shook its little head, flew around Xun'er twice, occasionally making soft whimpering sounds, and finally landed on Xun'er's shoulder, affectionately emitting joyful sounds.

As Xiao Yao watched the sadness on Xun'er's face slowly fade and turn into a bright smile, he gently chuckled and said, "Xun'er, with little Fengming by your side, I can rest assured."

At this moment, Xiao Yao saw Xiao Yu and Instructor Ruolin approaching and asked, "Father, why did you all come here together?"

"We were sitting in the hall when we suddenly heard a loud cry, which sounded like a monster. We were worried that something had happened to you, so we rushed over. We were relieved to see that you were both alright."

Seeing that the two were getting along peacefully, Xiao Zhan's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his tone carried a hint of worry.

"Father, I'm sorry to have worried you. Actually, the chirping sound just now was made by this little guy."

Xiao Yao pointed to the little bird on Xun'er's shoulder and said with a smile.

Following Xiao Yao's gaze, everyone slowly moved to the little red bird on Xun'er's shoulder. Xun'er was gently stroking the bird's feathers, while the bird nestled quietly on her shoulder, chirping softly.

Xiao Yu and her mentor Ruolin were stunned when they saw this.

They had expected to encounter some dangerous situation, but they never imagined that it was such a cute little guy who caused the commotion.

Instructor Ruolin carefully examined the little red bird perched on Xun'er's shoulder; its fiery red feathers resembled burning flames.

At this moment, Instructor Ruolin's eyes widened, her mouth gaped open, and she let out a soft scream: "This...this is a peak fourth-tier magical beast, its strength is at least equivalent to a peak Dou Ling expert in humans."

Xiao Yu and the other women were speechless with shock after hearing what their mentor Ruolin said. They were also quite surprised to see the harmonious and pleasant atmosphere between Xun'er and the little bird.

Xiao Yu and the other women seemed to sense no danger and began to slowly approach Xun'er and the little bird, wanting to observe the adorable bird more closely.

They cautiously reached out, trying to gently touch its feathers, only to find that the bird showed no hostility whatsoever; on the contrary, it even moved closer to their hands.

"Wow, it's so cute!" a woman exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement and curiosity.

The others chimed in, gathering around Xun'er and chattering about how adorable the little bird was.

"Xun'er, what's the name of this little bird? It seems to understand what we're saying, it's so cute."

"As for its name, Xiao Yao and I named it Xiao Fengming. Isn't it a nice name?"

Seeing that they also liked the little guy Fengming, Xun'er felt even happier.

Xue Ni gently stroked its little head and said softly, "Little guy, your name is Xiao Fengming, which sounds like a soaring phoenix. It's really suitable for this little guy."

Under this dazzling starry sky, the clear and melodious laughter of Xun'er and her friends echoed along a quiet path.

It seemed to add a touch of warmth to this starry sky.

The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, making the room quite bright.

A handsome young man arrived at a courtyard, gently knocked on the door, and called out, "Xiao Yanzi, open the door quickly."

After a short while, the wooden door opened, and a boy rubbing his sleepy eyes slowly walked out, looking somewhat tired.

Xiao Yan yawned, then said softly, "Brother Yao, why are you here so early today?"

"Still early? The sun's already high in the sky. Forget it, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Yan, who looked sleepy, and said helplessly.

After a while, Xiao Yao sat in a chair and looked at Yao Lao floating in the air, saying, "Teacher, when do we set off?"

"Two days from now, we'll set off for the Monster Mountain Range. Let's go out and prepare some things: fresh water, dry rations, tents, insect repellent, low-grade medicinal herbs, and some healing and restorative pills. These are all essential for cultivation, so you must be fully prepared. After all, we might be spending quite some time living deep in the mountains," the illusory old herbalist said calmly.

After washing up and wiping the water off his face, Xiao Yan casually asked, "Brother Yao, shall we go prepare these things together later, or can I do it all by myself?"

"It's alright, I'll go with you. We can just go to Mittel's place to buy the medicine later. I also need to buy some medicinal herbs."

"Okay." Xiao Yan quickly put on his clothes and smiled.

Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan, whose dressing speed was slowing down, and said indifferently, "Little guy, apart from ensuring your safety, don't expect us to help you when the time comes. After all, only by successfully undergoing life-or-death trials in the Magical Beast Mountain Range will you truly undergo a transformation."

"Little Yanzi, when the time comes, Yao Lao and I will supervise your cultivation properly, so don't even think about having a chance to slack off. Back then, I was alone in the Monster Mountain Range, experiencing the scene of fighting monsters. There was no one by my side to ensure my safety, so you should be content."

Xiao Yan chuckled at the two of them and said, "Hehe, Brother Yao, Elder Yao, I never intended to slack off. Two years from now, I will definitely defeat Nalan Yanran in front of the Yunlan Sect and will not let you down!"
