Zhou Xun immediately cast his gaze towards the young man and said with a blank expression:

"If that’s the case, Daoist, you’re truly being a bit unscrupulous!"

"What you say is true, it’s Li who’s been possessed by a demon; this Spirit Medicine naturally belongs to Fairy Jiang!"

The young man assessed the situation and immediately said without hesitation, his eyes occasionally glancing at the Profound Thunder Sword floating beside Zhou Xun.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun nodded slowly.

Upon seeing this, the young man was overjoyed and hurriedly said:

"In that case, I will not disturb Daoist and Fairy Jiang’s gathering, farewell!"

With that, Mana surged at his feet, conjuring golden light that carried his body away into the distance!

Watching the young man’s retreating figure, Zhou Xun raised his left hand, pointed two fingers like a sword, and made a gesture in the direction of the young man.

"Go!"

Instantly, the Profound Thunder Sword suspended in front of Zhou Xun transformed into a purple beam, shooting towards the young man’s heart from behind!

Sensing the power approaching from behind, the young man was scared out of his wits and hurriedly activated an escape technique, trying to evade!

The might of the Profound Thunder Sword was immense, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the young man’s back!

"Pffsh—"

A sound of the flying sword piercing flesh was heard!

The Profound Thunder Sword pierced straight through the young man’s back, emerging from his chest, and went back and forth several times,

the young man immediately fell silent!

Falling straight from the air, the Profound Thunder Sword then dragged the storage bag of the young man back to hover in front of Zhou Xun.

Actually, from the moment Zhou Xun revealed his identity as Lii Feiyu, the young man’s fate was sealed.

The identity of Lii Feiyu had been subjected to a dual bounty from the Blood Refining Sect and the Dao Yu Sect, so naturally, Zhou Xun couldn’t let this young man leave alive.

The lips of a dead man are the most sealed shut!

"Your prowess has surpassed the past!" Jiang Wanning praised!

Seeing Zhou Xun casually dispatch a cultivator of the same rank who had been a thorn in her side, she gained a deeper understanding of Zhou Xun’s strength.

This was indeed the gentleman she knew, truly a phoenix among men!

"Miss Jiang, you’re too kind, let’s have a look at what Spirit Medicine it actually is, to have driven this person to betrayal!" Zhou Xun said curiously!

"Follow me, sir!" said Jiang Wanning, leading Zhou Xun to a large rock over a hundred feet away,

where they found that at the base of the giant rock, there suddenly grew a thumb-sized, four-petal flower entirely yellow,

at this moment, Zhou Xun’s Spirit Beast Bag at his waist suddenly stirred, followed by the voice of the Earth Element Beast Feng Chong:

"Master, might I come out to have a look at this Spirit Medicine?"

"Oh?"

Surprised by the request, Zhou Xun tapped the Spirit Beast Bag, summoning the Earth Element Beast.

"Greetings, master, greetings, Miss Jiang!" Feng Chong, once out, mimicked human gestures by clasping his hands and bowing to them.

"Daoist Feng!" Jiang Wanning greeted back.

"Indeed, it is it, the Earth Spirit Flower!" The Earth Element Beast exclaimed, delighted upon seeing the small yellow flower.

Then it turned its gaze to Zhou Xun:

"Master, may I ask for this Earth Spirit Flower, for which I would be immensely grateful!"

Zhou Xun chuckled and said,

"This Spirit Medicine is not mine. You should ask for Miss Jiang’s consent."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanning immediately said,

"Since Daoist Feng can make use of this Spirit Medicine, you may take it, as without you, the gentleman, I fear I might not have obtained it at all!"

"Thank you, Miss Jiang!"

Feng Chong, overjoyed at her words, opened its mouth, unleashing a tiny whirlwind that lifted the Earth Spirit Flower and sent it directly into the beast’s mouth,

He then transformed and alighted on a vacant area over a hundred feet away, laying himself down motionless.

"Master, Feng Chong is about to have a breakthrough, please bear with me a moment!"

With that, stones and armor spontaneously formed over its body, enveloping it layer by layer, eventually turning into a stone sphere, remaining stationary on the spot.

Hearing this, Zhou Xun was overjoyed,

To think this Earth Spirit Flower would advance the Earth Element Beast!

Doesn’t that mean he soon will have a Tier Three High Grade steed!

"Congratulations, sir!" Jiang Wanning congratulated from the side, having previously battled alongside the Earth Element Beast, exterminating disciples of Old Demon Yulu, she was intimately familiar with it.

"I should be thanking you for the Earth Spirit Flower!"

"Is there any treasure you desire, feel free to mention it, consider it compensation for the Earth Spirit Flower!"

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"This...you have helped me a lot, a mere Spirit Medicine is nothing, I don’t need any treasures!" Jiang Wanning waved her hand, speaking with firm resolve.

"Alright then!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun did not insist, though he had made a decision in his heart.

Being affluent, it was easy for him to provide treasures for Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivators!

The Earth Element Beast, not long after forming a stone sphere, suddenly emitted a suction force, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the air,

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xun waved his hand, deploying the "Ice and Fire Cloud Array" around the Earth Element Beast.

Back when Master Nanyue refined this Array, it was intended to act as a Mountain Protection Array, thus containing a Gathering Spirit feature,

Holding the Array Manipulation Command Flag, Zhou Xun slowly infused Mana into it, then made a light wave downwards,

Instantly, silver runes within the Array flickered,

A faint suction covered a scope of dozens of miles, drawing the surrounding Spiritual Qi continuously,

Finally infusing it within a scope of several dozen feet near the Earth Element Beast!

Visibly, Spiritual Energy Concentration around the Earth Element Beast was constantly rising,

"Tier Two High-Grade!"

"Tier Three Low-Grade"

...

Finally reaching the threshold of Tier Three High-Grade.

Within the stone sphere, the Earth Element Beast sensed the external Spiritual Qi changes, knowing it was all due to its master, Zhou Xun,

It couldn’t help but feel moved, grateful for having become Zhou Xun’s steed,

determining to serve him faithfully in the future!

Continuously absorbing the external Spiritual Qi, converting it into its Demonic Power!

Originally on the verge of a breakthrough, what it lacked was sedimentation, in a phase of constant Qi absorption,

All that remained was reaching the point of quantitative change causing a qualitative transformation!

Today’s consumption of the Earth Spirit Flower expedited this process!

As Spiritual Qi was refined into Demonic Power, it was like a reservoir continuously filling, awaiting the moment of breakthrough!

On the other hand, after setting up the Array, Zhou Xun didn’t have to stay beside, guarding it, and so, he began to chat casually with Jiang Wanning.

It turned out that after Zhou Xun left back then, Jiang Wanning promptly left the Chaotic Domain with her clan,

going directly to the Righteous Alliance’s Jing Country, renting a Tier Three Low-Grade Spirit Vein to settle,

Her purpose for coming here was to seek some Cultivation Resources to quickly enhance her Cultivation,

After all, with Early-Stage Core Formation Cultivation, establishing a clan in Jing Country was quite difficult.

As they continued to chat more freely, before they realized it, it was already midnight!

Jiang Wanning looked at Zhou Xun’s face, recalling the madness of those bygone days, unconsciously her cheeks flushed,

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Xun naturally would not resist the beauty’s intentions!

Thus, everything fell into place,

overturning the night without sleep!

By early the next day, the two dressed as if nothing had happened.

Just then, not far from the stone sphere, a wave of Demonic Power started to emanate!
