52: Chapter 52 An Opportunity Undiscovered by a Dou Zong! Cao Ying: I don't understand what you're saying.

"Done."

Xiao Ting stopped his pen and ceased writing in the Diary.

Picking up the "Amethyst Wings" scroll, he prepared to begin his cultivation.

When the experts by Xun'er's side took action, their methods were naturally much cleaner and more efficient than the Dou Wang who had crafted the "Purple Cloud Wings."

There wasn't much consciousness remaining in the beast soul of the Amethyst Winged Lion King; with his soul realm at the peak of the mid-Mortal Realm, he could handle it with ease.

After easily withstanding the impact of the beast soul's residual thoughts, he gained the qualification to practice this Flying Dou Technique.

"Let's begin."

Xiao Ting placed his hand on the lifelike wings of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The Dou Qi within his body circulated according to the path of the Thunder Flame Precious Tome and was injected into the scroll through his hand.

As the dual-attribute Thunder and Flame Dou Qi was injected, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's wings on the scroll suddenly burst with light. The amethyst color grew richer and richer until it finally transformed into a silver-purple light that shot into Xiao Ting's palm.

"Hiss!"

Following the path of his cultivation technique, the energy circulated rapidly through Xiao Ting's meridians until it reached the meridians at his spine, where it began to branch out overbearingly.

"I'm not in the habit of suffering!"

Xiao Ting opened his mouth and popped in a pre-prepared Tier 4 medicinal pill.

The next moment, a surge of cold-attribute energy spread through his body, converging at the meridians on his back under his guidance.

The purple energy surged repeatedly, forcefully pulling out two extremely tiny new branch meridians from the meridians on his back. With the addition of the cold-attribute energy, the pain vanished into thin air, and the branching process became exceptionally smooth.

The two branch meridians extended from the main trunk and stopped at their corresponding positions on the spine.

It was as if a tattoo had appeared on his back, evolving into the appearance of burning purple flames.

Who knows how much time passed, but after the Thunder Flame Precious Tome had completed over a dozen cycles, Xiao Ting felt the Dou Qi liquid within his cyclone increase by another drop, reaching a staggering eight drops!

This meant his cultivation level had risen to eight stars.

At the same time, the abilities brought by the residual beast soul of the Amethyst Winged Lion King were partially absorbed as essence by his soul after he mastered the Flying Dou Technique, allowing him to make a breakthrough.

His perception of the energy of heaven and earth, as well as his awareness of everything around him, became increasingly sharp.

"Refreshing!"

Xiao Ting opened his eyes.

He saw that the sky was already dark, with a bright moon and few stars.

Stifling the urge to immediately try flying, he used his soul power to communicate with the Diary: "Obtain today's Plane Blessing."

He hoped it would increase his experience in mastering the Flying Dou Technique so that he could use it immediately.

[Plane Blessing]: Deep within the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cavern in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there is a special blessed land protected by an Amethyst Barrier seal. Within it, four Tier 5 Amethyst Jade Fruits have been ripe for three days. If not harvested within seven days of ripening, they will return their energy to heaven and earth.

Amethyst Jade Fruit: A spiritual fruit nurtured at the convergence of fire veins rich in fire-attribute energy. It is formed using the corpse of an Amethyst Winged Lion King of Tier 5 or higher as a base, piled with Purple Cloud Crystals and irrigated with blood.

It can be used to refine certain Tier 4, Tier 5, and Tier 6 medicinal pills.

If used to raise fire-attribute magical beasts, it can enhance their potential and significantly increase their cultivation.

Fire-attribute Dou Qi practitioners below the Dou Zong level can consume it directly to broaden their meridians, temper their bodies, strengthen their foundations, and increase the power of their fire-attribute Dou Qi.

As the information appeared, many images also surfaced in Xiao Ting's mind.

They showed him the path to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cavern.

"Good stuff!"

Xiao Ting's eyes lit up.

Both he and Xun'er could use these Amethyst Jade Fruits.

He could also give one to Xiao Yan to improve his Cousin's foundation of strength.

The last one could be saved for a future trade with Queen Medusa.

"Tomorrow morning, I'll find Xun'er and have Old Ling accompany me. If we encounter any magical beasts above Tier 3, we can deal with them easily." Xiao Ting closed his eyes and returned to his cultivation state.

Meanwhile, within the borders of the Izumo Empire.

Yun Yun revealed a surprised and happy expression, sending a voice transmission to Queen Medusa: "Sister Queen, accompany me to the Black Abyss Mountain Stream tomorrow."

"Did the Plane Blessing tell you the location of another Soul Clan Soul Envoy?" Medusa replied, her tone certain and relaxed.

"Yes." Yun Yun said with a smile in her eyes, "It's a Mid-level Soul Envoy with the strength of a five-star Dou Huang. We'll head there early and wait for them."

"I'll launch a sneak attack first to draw the Soul Envoy's attention, then you strike from the shadows, Sister Queen, and use the Snake Seal to imprison him directly."

"We can definitely capture him alive."

This way, she would have gathered three Soul Envoys and could return to the Cloud Mist Sect to enter the Gate of Life and Death for a higher inheritance.

"No problem. Just remember to take this Queen into the Gate of Life and Death to observe when the time comes." Queen Medusa was quite interested in the inheritance left by a Dou Zun expert.

Yun Yun naturally wouldn't refuse; this was something they had agreed upon half a month ago.

"Did you not get anything, Sister Queen?" Yun Yun asked curiously.

"The same as usual. The Purple Nether Flame Snake soul is evolving toward a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python." Queen Medusa's tone was relaxed, but a fiery passion was hidden in her purple eyes.

If she could receive the transformation from the blessing every day, her companion Purple Nether Flame Snake soul would complete its evolution within three months.

Once her companion soul evolved into a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, the bottleneck for her breakthrough to Dou Zong would vanish, and she could simply follow the natural flow.

Even breaking through to Dou Zun in the future would have no bottleneck; it would just be a matter of time.

Just as Xiao Ting said, the Diary was a great opportunity!

The night passed without incident, and the next morning arrived.

After washing up, Xiao Ting immediately found Xun'er and had breakfast with her and Xiao Yi Xian.

"Xun'er, could you have the senior guard in the shadows accompany me to the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cavern?" After breakfast, Xiao Ting asked straightforwardly, "After refining the Amethyst Wings, I obtained an opportunity from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's beast soul."

An opportunity?

A glimmer of light flashed in Xun'er's dark eyes.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King had been hunted and killed by the Dou Zong guard at her side, easily dealt with after a space lock.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's corpse, its collection of various natural treasures, the Purple Cloud Crystals, the Amethyst Essence, and even the Young Amethyst Winged Lion King were all in that guard's hands.

As the young miss, she naturally wouldn't ask the guard for these incidental gains, even though she had seen the records in the Diary yesterday.

She was just surprised that there was an opportunity in the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cavern that even a Dou Zong hadn't discovered.

Presumably, it must have come from a Plane Blessing.

"How strong of a guard do you need?" Xun'er asked with a smile.

Her tone made it seem as if she could summon a Dou Sheng if Xiao Ting were to ask for one.

Currently, Xun'er likely didn't have a jade slip to summon a Dou Sheng, but she certainly had protection methods left by Gu Yuan within her.

Theoretically, she could indeed summon even a Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

"The Dou Huang level will suffice. I'm afraid that upon entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, I'll encounter magical beasts I can't handle at my current strength. After all, the opportunity is inside the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cavern. Now that the Tier 6 beast has been killed, it will surely attract some Tier 5 or even Tier 6 magical beasts."

Xun'er nodded slightly and spoke, "Old Ling."

"Miss!"

A black shadow flashed, and a black-robed man wearing a mask knelt on one knee beside Xun'er.

"Accompany Brother Xiao Ting on a trip," Xun'er said.

"Yes." Ling Ying nodded to Xiao Ting. "Young Master Xiao Ting, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

Clearly, he was only guarding from the shadows.

"Then I'll be off."

Xiao Ting stood up, preparing to retrieve the Amethyst Jade Fruits as quickly as possible.

He didn't forget to write an entry in the Diary.

[Plane Blessing... Learned of the Amethyst Jade Fruits...]

[Amethyst Sealing Barrier... Impression of the blessed land... Not discovered...]

[Four Amethyst Jade Fruits, four days left to harvest them, otherwise they will return to heaven and earth...]

[One for me, one for Xun'er, one for Brother Yan, and the last one can be saved for trading later.]

"What, are you jealous?"

Noticing the expression on Cao Ying's face across the table, Feng Qing'er's lips curled slightly.

Cao Ying blinked. "What are you talking about?"
