"Holy shit!"
Watching Gu Han soar into the air and vanish instantly before his eyes, Zhang Chuchen stared in shock, only snapping out of it after a long moment as he pinched his own arm hard.
"He actually flew!"
The pain confirmed it wasn't an illusion, making Zhang Chuchen question his own understanding.
Junior Brother Gu Han wasn't a Dou Fighter, but a high-level Dou King?
No, Gu Han couldn't be a Dou King—otherwise, he wouldn't have needed help dealing with the Violet Nether Flame Serpent.
"Flight Fighting Skill! It's a Flight Fighting Skill!" Zhang Chuchen finally realized.
He never expected Gu Han to possess such a rare Dou Skill.
"Probably a gift from that Dou Emperor senior. It seems Junior Brother Gu is truly highly regarded."
Though envious, Zhang Chuchen felt more genuine happiness and blessings for Gu Han.
Outside the sect, a powerful Dou Emperor from a Dou Venerable faction in Central Region saw potential in him.
Inside the sect, the sect master valued him as a trusted confidant.
Junior Brother's future was undoubtedly bright.
All he needed to do was contribute his modest strength while Gu Han was still growing.
And these matters—since Gu Han hadn't spoken of them himself—he absolutely must not overstep and publicize them.
Popping a Qi Recovery Pill into his mouth, Zhang Chuchen sat cross-legged and began meditating to recover.
Meanwhile, Gu Han pushed his Aura Concealment Technique to the limit to avoid attracting Magical Beasts' attention, silently flying to the mountain peak.
Guided by the opportunity information, he quickly located the hot spring where the Purple Wing Cloud Crane eggs could incubate.
"This hot spring is well hidden."
Scanning the surroundings, Gu Han noticed the spring was encircled by cliffs, accessible only by flying in from above.
Flapping his wings to land beside the hot spring, Gu Han focused his mind and returned to the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm.
Controlling the Essence Crystal Jade Marrow, he placed it near the tail of the Violet Nether Flame Serpent.
This was precisely where the Mu Kui Wolf King had implanted the Quewood Seal on the serpent. The seal autonomously absorbed worldly energy, especially wood-attribute energy, maintaining its effect continuously.
Normally, if the Violet Nether Flame Serpent hid in a fire-attribute-rich environment long enough, it could eventually erode the seal entirely.
But now, with the Essence Crystal Jade Marrow supplying power at close range, the seal wouldn't weaken—it would strengthen instead.
The Violet Nether Flame Serpent, still severely injured and unrecovered, would remain in deep slumber under the seal's influence, subconsciously mobilizing energy to resist it.
"Done."
After positioning the Violet Nether Flame Serpent in a corner, and with the Jade Spirit Fruit Tree on the other side, the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm felt somewhat cramped, but it still had enough space for people and items.
Gu Han drew his sword, cut an opening in the Purple Wing Cloud Crane egg's corpse, used Mystic Ice Finger to freeze the blood around the incision, and retrieved a warm, purplish-blue egg.
The egg autonomously absorbed wind-attribute energy from the surroundings, but the efficiency seemed to be declining, indicating its life force was fading.
Not daring to delay, Gu Han sliced his hand with the sword.
"Enlightened Beast Eyes Reflect Moonlight, Wind and Cloud Fur Claws Tread Cloud Sand..."
"Blood Summons Three Points of Spirituality, Together to the Universe Drink Flowing Rosy Clouds."
Gu Han pressed his bleeding hand against the Purple Wing Cloud Crane egg.
Even a wandering cultivator like Little Medicinal Immortal could raise a low-level flying magical beast, so the Cloud Mist Sect naturally had more refined methods.
The Beast Taming Method he was currently using had no specific grade—it was part of the Cloud Mist Sect's heritage, taught to all disciples during their preparatory phase.
Outer sect disciples with outstanding aptitude, or those who became inner sect disciples, could receive a Cloud Mist Eagle egg, establishing an early connection through this method.
Once the Cloud Mist Eagle hatched, it would instinctively bond due to the blood resonance, making it easy to build trust and cultivate into a dedicated "messenger eagle."
Of course, if one had other avian magical beasts, this secret technique could also be used to forge an early connection.
"Success!"
After having his blood drawn for over ten breaths, Gu Han could sense a faint, ethereal link forming with the egg before him.
Perhaps due to his exceptional soul power, he could comprehend the meaning conveyed by the Purple Wing Cloud Crane egg.
It lacked warmth and energy.
"Whoosh!"
Returning to the outside world, Gu Han leaped directly into the hot spring pool. He retrieved the egg from the bottom of the pool's center and placed it in a crevice among several rocks.
As the energy of this unique hot spring flowed in, the Purple Wing Cloud Crane egg revived with vitality.
When wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning descended soon after, its bloodline might even undergo a transformation.
"It needs three months to hatch here."
Gu Han sensed and confirmed the condition of the Purple Wing Cloud Crane egg.
He would return to wait here once the Purple Wing Cloud Crane was about to hatch.
At that time, he could feed it the magic core of a second-tier Purple Wing Cloud Crane to accelerate its growth.
"Whoosh!"
After securing the egg, Gu Han left the hot spring and once again employed his Flight Fighting Skill to soar into the sky.
Having determined the direction, he prepared to seek out Zhang Chuchen.
But just then, a tremendous roar erupted from the southwest, accompanied by violent fluctuations in the energy of heaven and earth.
Following that, an angry roar resounded across dozens of miles: "Kui Jiu, how dare you ambush me!"
"Kui San, you've been the wolf king for so many years—it's my turn now," another voice rang out.
"Let you be the wolf king? With your early fifth-tier strength, can you lead the pack to a better life?" The furious roar mingled with chaotic surges of heaven and earth energy.
"If I devour you, I can break through to the mid-tier. I'll be more capable than you, who's severely injured now." Another surge of power shot skyward: "You were ambushed by the Violet Nether Flame Serpent and can no longer advance to the sixth tier, whereas I have greater talent.
"If it's for the sake of the pack, you should willingly offer yourself."
Roar!
The response to Kui Jiu was a furious roar.
Hidden within the clouds, Gu Han could feel the intensity of the battle in the southwest.
He had no intention of joining the fray. Identifying his direction, he flew toward a forest.
With two fifth-tier Mu Kui Wolves clashing, creating such a commotion, who knew how many fifth- and sixth-tier magical beasts, Dou Kings, and Dou Emperors were watching covertly?
Without an elder guiding him, he couldn't participate in battles of this level. As someone with innate advantages, he only needed to follow the planned steps.
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat wasn't his role.
"Hmm?"
While flying over a forest, Gu Han spotted an old man engaged in combat with a pack of Mu Kui Wolves.
One of the Mu Kui Wolves exuded an aura reaching the fourth tier.
"It's Nalan's Dou Spirit Elder.Gu Han's gaze swept over and noticed two blue spiritual herbs on a clearing not far from the combatants, absorbing moonlight as if ignited.
"Azure Flame Grass."
Gu Han's eyes narrowed intently.
This is the main ingredient for refining the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill.
No wonder that Dou Spirit from the Nalan family was fighting against the wolf pack led by the fourth-rank Mu Kui Wolf.
"I'll gladly take this for myself."
Gu Han entered the Black Tortoise Mystic Realm, changed into a different outfit, put on a mask, and then returned to the sky.
He began circulating the Mystic Ice Force at full power, dyeing the Dou Qi wings on his back a pure blue color.
After completing these preparations, he dove downward while activating the Aura Concealment Technique.
His target was the Azure Flame Grass.
