Chapter 101: The Mysterious Black Wind
Looking at Xiao Ruoshui’s gradually disappearing figure, Yun Yi felt a slight flutter in his heart. He had to admit that a woman like Xiao Ruoshui had a great attraction for any man. She was not just beautiful; she had a unique charm of her own.
What attracted Yun Yi was definitely not just Xiao Ruoshui’s beauty, but the special aura she possessed.
"Hey, are you ready?"
Xiao Liufeng’s words interrupted Yun Yi’s thoughts.
"What is there to prepare for?"
Yun Yi shrugged, looking completely relaxed.
"You are quite confident, kid. Remember to come back alive. You’ve just advanced to the fourth grade of the Innate Realm today, so you need time to consolidate your skills. I won’t take up more of your time. Go prepare well, and we’ll leave for Jade Wheel City tomorrow. The young lady said you are not allowed to receive any help, so I won’t help you either. It’s all up to you."
Xiao Liufeng said.
"Rely on myself, I’m used to it."
Yun Yi smiled slightly. The words "I’m used to it" carried some sadness, but it was the truth. Since the changes in the Yun family, everything Yun Yi did was by relying on himself. He had already learned to be independent.
True strength always comes with loneliness.
"Remember to come back alive; don’t let me look down on you."
Xiao Liufeng clapped Yun Yi’s shoulder heavily and then turned away without looking back. It was clear that both he and Xiao Ruoshui had the highest hopes for Yun Yi.
Xiao Liufeng did not offer Yun Yi any help. He was a man of his word. Xiao Ruoshui had clearly stated that Yun Yi must complete the task independently. He also knew this was a trial and challenge for Yun Yi, and he wanted to see how Yun Yi would face such difficulties and a powerful enemy.
As the disciples in the Martial-arts Arena dispersed one by one, only Yun Yi and Liu Quan remained.
This was Yun Yi’s first day in the Yanwu family. Before arriving, he had imagined many different beginnings, but this beginning was beyond his expectations, just like when he first awakened his Innate Dao Body. Fate always liked to surprise him.
But for Yun Yi, these surprises had always pushed him to grow.
Yun Yi took Black Wind from Bai Song’s arms. Seeing Black Wind sleeping peacefully, a slight smile appeared on Yun Yi’s lips. The relationship and feelings between him and Black Wind were constantly changing in subtle ways.
Liu Quan and the others stood opposite Yun Yi and gave a deep bow, showing their respect.
"You don’t need to thank me. This matter has nothing to do with you. I feel guilty about Huang Long. I cannot help him heal his energy channels; the only thing I can do for him is seek revenge."
Yun Yi said softly.
"Brother Yun has helped us greatly; we cannot repay him."
Liu Quan said very seriously. Using the phrase "helped us greatly," the group did not think it was an exaggeration. If it weren’t for Yun Yi, they would likely have never left Qianyang Mountain and would have all died there.
Today, Yun Yi defeated Yuan Hui, indirectly helping them remove a hidden danger. Additionally, Yun Yi’s actions shifted everyone’s attention and hatred toward him and away from those connected to Yuan Hui, allowing them to live more peacefully in the future.
"But Brother Yun, when you go after Pan Hong, you must be very careful."
Liu Quan reminded him, as the task Yun Yi had accepted was extremely difficult. Entering the current Jade Wheel City was surely full of dangers, and killing Pan Hong was exceedingly risky.
"I know what to do. Alright, I will go into seclusion now and leave for Jade Wheel City tomorrow. Please help me find a place to stay."
Yun Yi said; he did not want to waste words. Just like Xiao Liufeng said before, today’s battle with Duan Tianye brought him great benefits. Moreover, he had just reached the fourth grade of the Innate Realm and needed to consolidate his skills.
In addition, Black Wind was in a weak state and needed proper recovery. Since he was going to Jade Wheel City tomorrow, he didn’t want to waste time here.
Under Liu Quan’s guidance, Yun Yi took the Identity Jade Card and found the Grand Elder. Soon, the Grand Elder helped Yun Yi find a suitable place in the second-grade area. Since Yun Yi had reached the fourth grade of the Innate Realm, he no longer belonged to the third-grade area and could report directly to the second-grade area.
Yun Yi left a very deep impression on the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder thought that since Yun Yi was going to Jade Wheel City tomorrow, there was little chance he would return, so he took special care of Yun Yi and assigned him an independent little courtyard.
The little courtyard was filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers, and the environment was quiet and undisturbed. Furthermore, the Spirit Qi in the area was rich, making it perfect for peaceful practice.
Yun Yi was very satisfied with such a place to live.
When Yun Yi returned to the little courtyard, it was already afternoon. He closed the door tightly and chose to go into seclusion.
Inside the room, Yun Yi placed Black Wind on the bed, then took out a Blood Dragon Fruit and used his spiritual power to push the essence of the Blood Dragon Fruit into Black Wind’s body.
Black Wind was only weakened because he forced the use of the Six Character Mantra, while the essence of the Blood Dragon Fruit was strong enough to make up for his loss, allowing him to wake up quickly.
I must go to Jade Wheel City alone, as I can’t rely on others, but Black Wind is a great helper. This guy is not only all-knowing and amazing, but he can also grow wings and fly.
At my current walking speed, it would take four or five days to reach Jade Wheel City. However, if I use Black Wind’s flying ability, I could get there in less than half a day.
Soon, Black Wind completely absorbed the energy from half of the Blood Dragon Fruit. I must say, this cat’s ability to recover is incredibly impressive; even while sleeping, the speed at which it absorbs the essence of the Blood Dragon Fruit is astonishing.
"Black Wind’s bloodline must be very high-level, the most elite among demon beasts, just as my spirit body is among human cultivators."
Yun Yi said; he was very curious about Black Wind’s bloodline, but with his eyesight, he couldn’t tell what kind of creature Black Wind was.
Moreover, Yun Yi felt that Black Wind had too many secrets and was definitely not just a simple character.
Before even reaching the Lingyuan Realm, with Divine Sense, a cat grows wings, is skilled in formations, knowledgeable about alchemy, has terrifying eyesight, can instantly see my Dual Spiritual Body, recognize Red Lotus Karma Fire, know the origin of the Chaotic Pill Sutra, identify the Heavenly Demon Physique, and perform mystical techniques from Buddhism…
All these abilities combined in one person surely meant that this person is not simple at all.
And these are the strange talents that Black Wind has shown so far. Yun Yi does not know what other hidden abilities this creature might have, but one thing is for sure: this cat is not an ordinary character.
The energy from half a Blood Dragon Fruit slowly woke Black Wind up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Blood Dragon Fruit by his mouth, and his eyes lit up. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the remaining half of the Blood Dragon Fruit in one gulp.
