Chapter 371: Zi Yan Enters a Cocoon, Wu Tian's Life Becomes "Dull"
As the dark clouds dispersed, the oppressive pressure lingering in the surroundings also completely vanished. When a ray of sunlight pierced through the sky, the people below finally let out a sigh of relief.
No matter who it was, standing under such overwhelming heavenly might for so long was extremely suffocating.
Even though they had absolute confidence in Wu Tian's strength, the terrifying force of nature still instilled a deep, indescribable tension within them.
With the clouds fading, Wu Tian casually flipped his hand, placing the crystal clear pill into a jade bottle.
Only after he finished did Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian finally make their way over.
However, the moment they saw Wu Tian surrounded by a group of beautiful women, they immediately regretted coming here.
What the hell were they doing?!
The Pavilion Master had clearly come here to spend quality time with his wives, and yet they had barged in?
Now, neither leaving nor staying felt appropriate, so they had no choice but to awkwardly step forward and pay their respects.
Wu Tian had already sensed their presence earlier. With a casual wave of his hand, he said:
"We just came here to collect some herbs. You two should head back."
The two old men sighed internally.
"Yep. The Pavilion Master thinks we're in the way."
"Sigh… even the sun in the sky isn't as bright as how unwanted we feel right now."
Without another word, they bowed and turned to leave.
Just as they were about to depart, Wu Tian seemed to remember something and called out:
"Wait. Keep an eye on the movements of the other two empires."
Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian nodded, then quickly vanished at top speed.
As they soared through the air, Jia Xing Tian frowned and asked:
"Hey, Old Hai, what do you think the Pavilion Master meant by that?"
Hai Bodong snorted.
"What else could it mean? The Pavilion Master's strength is beyond the heavens. He must have sensed that the other two empires are up to something. He's just telling us to stay on guard."
Jia Xing Tian rubbed his chin.
"Hmm… that Poison Sect in the Chu Yun Empire really is an enigma. Even the Pavilion Master has taken notice of them… Looks like they're planning something big."
"Exactly. We need to be extra careful…"
After Hai Bodong and Jia Xing Tian left, Wu Tian led the women into the cave.
Of course, before entering, he burned the entire place clean with his flames just to be safe.
Once the cave was thoroughly purified, the women stepped inside.
The environment here was beautiful, and with all the delicious food Wu Tian had stored in his ring, it was the perfect place for a picnic.
Originally a chilly cave, it was now warm and comfortable thanks to Wu Tian's flames.
Inside the cave, Wu Tian handed the freshly refined Transformation Pill to Zi Yan, whose beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement.
She had been waiting for this moment for so long.
Of course, Wu Tian knew something she didn't this pill wouldn't actually turn her into an adult.
This was because she had already consumed a Transformation Grass before, and the two effects would cancel each other out.
However, while it wouldn't let Zi Yan transform into a mature beauty, it would significantly boost her strength.
That was the main reason Wu Tian had come all this way to find the ingredients.
Zi Yan's identity was special. She was the future Dragon Emperor.
And deep within Wu Tian's "precious flower", there was a terrifying soul sealed inside none other than Zi Yan's father.
Normally, Wu Tian kept this soul sealed away, but after seeing Zi Yan, he considered letting her father take a glimpse of his daughter.
However, he ultimately decided against it.
"It's too soon for them to meet."
Zi Yan still had a long way to go before she was ready to return to the Dragon Clan.
Only when she became strong enough would she be able to take her rightful place as Dragon Emperor.
By that time, those so called "Dragon Kings" would all obediently kneel before her.
But to become the true Dragon Emperor, her strength was crucial.
Right now, she was only at the Dou Wang level.
If she wanted to become a Dou Huang quickly, the best way was for Wu Tian to feed her some "medicine" and then…
Zi Yan gazed at Wu Tian with her bright purple eyes, her lips curving into a mischievous smile.
"Hmph! You just wait, you big meanie! Someday, I'll grow up, and when I do… you better not start drooling over me!"
Wu Tian was speechless.
This little dragon… was challenging him?!
Wait…
She was a dragon.
And what was it they always said about dragons…?
Oh. Right.
"Dragons are naturally…"
"Oh, hell no!"
The lush valley was filled with a faint, pleasant fragrance, occasionally interrupted by the agile silhouettes of magical beasts passing through.
The valley echoed with beastly roars, giving the entire area an aura of thriving vitality.
Yet, despite the abundant life in the valley, not a single magical beast dared to approach the cave.
Instead, they formed a natural protective circle around the area.
This was their master's territory, and they would protect it at all costs.
Inside the cave, a massive cocoon of purple light stood in the center, over a meter wide.
Though no figure was visible inside, the terrifyingly vast energy radiating from within made it clear this was no ordinary object.
Beneath the glowing purple light, the women immersed themselves in their work.
The cocoon was none other than Zi Yan, who had entered a deep slumber after consuming the Transformation Pill.
As she slept, a powerful energy erupted from within her, forming this protective cocoon.
The women were momentarily stunned.
Zi Yan's true form was truly terrifying. Even her breakthrough process came with a natural layer of protection.
If anyone tried to interfere, the immense energy within the cocoon would instantly crush them.
The purple glow pulsed rhythmically, much like a beating heart.
And if one observed closely, they would notice a subtle shift in the surrounding energy every time the light flickered.
Each pulse drew in vast amounts of energy, causing the cocoon to grow even brighter.
A short distance away, a group of women was drenched in sweat, breathing lightly as they focused on the cocoon.
They remained completely vigilant, unwilling to let their guard down.
With every pulse of purple light, waves of energy rippled through the air.
To ensure that Zi Yan absorbed enough energy, the women were setting up a large scale formation.
This formation expanded the range of energy absorption, ensuring that Zi Yan's transformation wouldn't be delayed.
Of course, this intensive effort left them drenched in sweat.
Their wet clothes clung tightly to their delicate figures, creating a breathtaking scene.
Compared to the women's hard work, Wu Tian was…
Hard at work too.
He stood behind them, furiously refining pills.
Since he had accidentally revealed his talent, the women immediately took advantage of it.
Under their gentle persuasion and sweet talking, he had no choice but to become their personal alchemist, crafting various pills to help them recover.
"Damn it. Why did they have to find out?"
As Wu Tian continued his alchemy, he couldn't help but feel…
"My life is just so... dull."
And so, five days quickly passed in this 'dull' routine…
