"Three years!?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's eyes widened slightly.
However, the next instant, Xiao Yi simply raised his right hand slightly.
Immediately, an extremely terrifying aura instantly emanated from his body, and the pressure belonging to a Dou Zong instantly enveloped the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
Its Meridians throughout its body were in excruciating pain under the pressure.
"I'll give you two choices: one, agree to my request, or two, be buried here today!"
Xiao Yi said coldly, his attitude extremely resolute.
A cold killing intent appeared in his red-glowing eyes.
What 'carrot and stick' approach? With an expert like Xiao Xuan protecting him, Xiao Yi wouldn't bother with such tactics.
In Xiao Yi's eyes, against a mere sixth-tier Demonic Beast like the Amethyst Winged Lion King, there was only submission or death!
Feeling the terrifying pressure and killing intent emanating from Xiao Yi, how could the Amethyst Winged Lion King dare to have any other thoughts?
"Senior! Please spare me!"
"I will obey everything you say..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi slowly withdrew his pressure.
He nodded in satisfaction.
With the terrifying pressure on its body gone, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could finally catch its breath, then softly said:
"Senior, I wonder how you need me to protect the Xiao Family you mentioned..."
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Starting tomorrow, you must go to Wutan City in the morning, noon, and evening, and patrol for an hour. If you find anyone posing a threat to the Xiao Family, you may assist them..."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King heard this and quickly nodded: "I will bear it in mind..."
Xiao Yi looked coldly at the Amethyst Winged Lion King, then finally said in a deep voice: "If I find that you haven't done as I said, I will personally come to your door and take your life!"
"Hand over the purple spirit crystal, then retreat..."
The Amethyst Winged Lion King heard this and, without a moment's hesitation, an aura swept around its body.
After offering all the purple spirit crystals from its nest, its figure flashed, and it quickly left the area... Seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King depart, Xiao Yi slowly landed.
The red mark on his forehead also dissipated. The moment Xiao Xuan left Xiao Yi's body,
Xiao Yi clearly felt that all the Meridians throughout his body were sore, as if they had been tempered a thousand times.
"As expected of a Heaven Rank Dou Technique, Ghost Possession..."
"The side effects are really significant..."
Xiao Yi couldn't help but mutter a few words in his heart. He had thought that after advancing to Dou Master,
he would be able to alleviate some of the side effects of Xiao Xuan possessing him, but in the end, Xiao Yi had thought too much.
After all, it was a Dou Master transforming into a Dou Zong just now. Such a huge increase in power was naturally difficult for Xiao Yi's current physical condition to bear.
"Little Fellow, once you reach Dou Zun, you should be able to fully withstand all of my current power..."
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Yi's pained expression, smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice.
"Dou Zun!... I'm only a Dou Master now, Dou Zun is perhaps a bit too far away..."
"Ancestor, what is your current strength like...?"
Xiao Yi couldn't help but frown slightly, asking what he most wanted to know.
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly: "Back then, I chose to detonate my Physical Body and Soul, damaging my Soul Origin, and my strength has already been greatly reduced..."
"If I had to give a rough estimate, dealing with some low-star Dou Saints should still be possible..."
"However, all of this is through your Physical Body, so, you brat, hurry up and work hard to become a Dou Zun..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi couldn't help but nod.
His heart was once again filled with admiration.
As expected of a Half-step Dou Di expert, even with a damaged Soul Origin, his strength was still so formidable.
"Don't worry, Ancestor..."
"As a descendant of the Xiao Clan, I will certainly not disgrace you!"
"Now that I have these purple spirit crystals, I can ask Venerable Yao to refine some Medicinal Pills when I return. I expect my Cultivation speed will increase significantly..."
Xiao Yi looked at the purple spirit crystals glowing with purple light in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl upwards slightly.
After all, this item is a good thing; Medicinal Pills refined from it can help Cultivators increase their Cultivation speed.
"Silly boy, Medicinal Pills are ultimately external objects... At your current Realm, you still need to strengthen your own Dou Qi and lay a good foundation!"
"If you only rely on Medicinal Pills, when your Realm is high in the future, you will realize your Dou Qi is unstable..."
"Alright, looking at your current body, it doesn't allow me to possess you further. It just so happens that I'm also tired, so rely on yourself to return to the Xiao Family..."
"In this way, for you, it can also be considered Cultivation..."
Xiao Xuan said softly, then his figure flashed and he returned to Xiao Yi's black storage ring.
Xiao Yi said nothing, merely slowly stood up and put the purple spirit crystals into his storage ring.
Dragging his weary body, he walked down the mountain... Xiao Yi had barely walked a few steps when he noticed a rustling sound coming from the bushes not far ahead.
In a place like the Magical Beast Mountain Range, teeming with Demonic Beasts, Xiao Yi dared not be careless.
Immediately, a flash of light appeared in his palm, and the dragon abyss formation breaking spear, gleaming with a sharp cold light, was already firmly grasped in his hand.
Xiao Yi held the long spear, suppressed his footsteps, steadied his breathing, and slowly approached the source of the sound.
As he got closer, he saw a slender figure stumbling through the dense forest.
Although she wore a loose, grey cloak with the hood pulled low, it still couldn't conceal her soft jawline and fair skin.
"Oh... to actually encounter a rare Physique like the Calamity Poison Body in such a small place..."
Xiao Xuan's voice echoed faintly in Xiao Yi's mind.
Hearing the words Calamity Poison Body, Xiao Yi instantly realized that the person before him was actually Xiao Yi Xian!
The next second, Xiao Yi Xian also detected Xiao Yi's presence, abruptly looked in the direction Xiao Yi was hiding, and softly exclaimed:
"Who's there!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yi slowly stood up and said with a smile:
"Don't be afraid, miss, I'm not a bad person..."
Seeing Xiao Yi's rather kind and gentle smile, and the temperament revealed through his eyes,
Xiao Yi Xian's previously tense nerves relaxed, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, then curved upwards:
"Do good people always carry a long spear with them...?"
Xiao Yi heard this and gave an awkward smile: "Apologies, I thought it was a Demonic Beast just now..."
As Xiao Yi finished speaking, the dragon abyss formation breaking spear transformed into a streak of light and returned to his storage ring.
"My name is Xiao Yi Xian, I'm a Physician in Qingshan Town at the foot of the Magical Beast Mountain Range..."
Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly and introduced herself softly.
Xiao Yi also cupped his hands slightly and said in a deep voice: "My name is Xiao Yi..."
"Mr. Xiao Yi, may I ask why you are entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone?"
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Yi with some confusion, asking.
After all, everyone knew that the Magical Beast Mountain Range was extremely dangerous, and hardly anyone would venture in alone.
Even she herself only dared to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range with the Mercenary Group whenever she went to collect herbs.
Xiao Yi merely smiled slightly: "Would you believe me if I said I was lost...?"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded: "Of course... I know the way down the mountain. If Mr. Xiao Yi doesn't mind, I can take you down..."
"Also, I see that your Meridians are a bit chaotic... After we go down the mountain, perhaps I can help you regulate them in Qingshan Town..."
As the saying goes, 'a healer's heart is benevolent.' As a Physician, when Xiao Yi Xian saw Xiao Yi's poor condition, she naturally wanted to help.
After all, from the first moment Xiao Yi Xian saw Xiao Yi, she was convinced that the young man in front of her was not a bad person...
