After waiting for about half an hour, Tang Jue's figure finally appeared before them.
"Your Excellency, everything is here."
Tang Jue approached Xiao Tian respectfully and handed over more than ten storage rings.
Xiao Tian took them and scanned the contents. There were many good items inside — not only rare poisonous herbs, but also large quantities of ordinary medicinal herbs and various ores.
He tossed the cultivation methods and Dou Techniques obtained from the auction house and the Absolute Poison Sect back to Tang Jue, keeping everything else directly in his system space.
"You will take over the auction house and help me collect medicinal herbs. I will come to retrieve them when I have time."
"Understood."
"You should head back first. Handle the remaining matters yourself."
Xiao Tian waved his hand. He and Hai Bodong disappeared from the spot in an instant. Tang Jue also returned to his usual slightly dignified demeanor.
After sending Elder Hai back to his palace, Xiao Tian appeared directly in his own manor.
Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin were sitting in the lakeside pavilion, their faces filled with worry.
The moment Xiao Tian appeared in the pavilion, their worried expressions instantly turned into joy.
They immediately threw themselves into his arms. Xiao Tian reached out and embraced both of them tightly.
"Young Master, you're finally back," Qing Lin said, her eyes glistening with happy tears.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with a beaming smile.
"No. No one can hurt me."
Xiao Tian spoke confidently while gently stroking their smooth hair.
The three of them quietly embraced each other, forming a beautiful picture together with the surrounding scenery.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the training room, within the Heaven Devouring Cauldron, Xiao Tian slowly calmed the fluctuating Dou Qi in his body.
He raised his hand. Silver energy flickered in his palm.
"After many months, I've finally fully cultivated and refined the six Heavenly Flames fully."
At this moment, Xiao Tian's aura had risen from five-star Dou Ling all the way to three-star Dou Wang.
He then summoned his Dou Qi Wings. Looking at the silver wings, he raised an eyebrow.
"So flashy?"
He thought of his Demonic Lotus Wings and wondered if merging them would create a miraculous effect.
Without further delay, Xiao Tian first summoned the Demonic Lotus Wings, then activated his Dou Qi Wings.
The two sets of wings continuously intertwined and merged.
It took a full day for them to finally fuse completely.
With a single thought, a pair of ten-meter-long wings appeared behind him — shaped like roc wings but with lotus-petal elegance, glowing with dazzling silver light and a faint pink hue. They were covered in flame-like three-colored patterns that constantly emitted powerful flame energy. The feathers looked incredibly sharp and hard.
Wow, a golden legend.
Outside the palace, Xiao Tian flapped his wings. A muffled thunderous sound rang out, as if lightning was striking through space.
As the wings vibrated, he shot forward like a white arrow.
Xiao Tian flew several circles in the air. "With this speed, even a peak Dou Huang might not be able to catch me."
He was extremely satisfied with his new wings.
"Young Master, why did your wings turn golden? They're so beautiful. Can I touch them?"
After Xiao Tian landed, Qing Lin appeared beside him and asked curiously.
"You can." Xiao Tian slightly retracted his wings and placed them in front of her.
"So hard… and a bit hot. Will it bleed if I touch it too hard?" Qing Lin exclaimed in wonder, then happily added, "Young Master, I've broken through to five-star Dou Master!"
Xiao Tian sensed Qing Lin's aura and indeed confirmed she was now a five-star Dou Master. "Qing Lin, that's amazing. Your promotion speed truly surprises and envies me. Maybe you'll surpass me one day."
"I'm your personal maid. How can I surpass Young Master? Also… next time you fight bad guys, can Qing Lin come along? I can summon White Fang."
Qing Lin's tone carried a hint of grievance.
"Alright, alright. From now on, you'll protect Young Master."
Xiao Tian laughed heartily.
A week later.
Suddenly, a powerful wave of energy erupted from Little Fairy Doctor's palace. A layer of purple smoke continuously surged out, covering the top of the palace before pouring down and disappearing in an instant.
"Not good."
