Battle Through the Heavens: Soul Palace, Gu Yan!

Chapter 9 Little Fairy Doctor Encounters Danger

Gu Yan finally understood why the owner of the stone chamber had sealed the storage ring in that box made of special material.

The techniques for cultivating the soul have long been lost on the Dou Qi Continent.

According to the old doctor's account in the book, the owner of this stone chamber was obviously a figure much older than the old doctor.

It is quite reasonable for such a person to possess a method for cultivating the soul.

Moreover, creating that flying combat technique also requires a very deep understanding of soul power.

Everything makes sense now. No wonder Xiao Yan didn't find the stone chamber owner's storage ring; it turned out it was hidden underground.

Gu Yan tried to suppress his excitement, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

With a thought, he took out the jade boxes and bottles again, but unfortunately they were empty, containing only some gray powder.

Gu Yan deduced from the shape of the powder that the jade box and bottle contained pills or herbs.

However, due to the passage of time, they have lost their spirituality and turned into dregs.

However, Gu Yan did not feel sorry.

Those two cultivation techniques for the soul were already an unexpected surprise; he no longer asked for anything else.

After putting everything back into his storage ring, Gu Yan carefully put the ring away and looked at the skeleton beside him.

"Since we've already dug the grave, let's give our predecessor a proper burial."

Thinking this, Gu Yan walked to the seat, carefully placed the withered bones into the pit, then buried them back in, and then transported soil from the small flower bed to build a small mound.

After doing all this, Gu Yan respectfully bowed to the simple grave and said sincerely, "I am deeply grateful for the opportunity bestowed upon me by you, senior. Today, I will erect this grave for you here, so that you may rest in peace."

Gu Yan was indeed filled with gratitude.

This opportunity is enough to help him and the Gu family soar to great heights!

We should naturally be grateful for the opportunities we have received from our predecessors.

After burying the skeletons, Gu Yan put the remaining items in the stone chamber into his storage ring.

"Senior, I apologize for disturbing you. I will leave now. I will destroy the passage from when I came back so that no outsiders will be allowed to disturb your eternal rest."

Gu Yan bowed respectfully again, then turned and left.

After exiting the stone chamber, press the mechanism, and the stone door slowly closes, sealing off the stone chamber behind it.

Gu Yan then circulated his internal fighting spirit and began to destroy the nearby cave walls.

As one huge rock after another fell, the stone gate behind it was gradually buried.

By the time Gu Yan had finally restored the cave entrance to its original state and even made some minor modifications, it was already broad daylight outside.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Yan immediately activated his Purple Cloud Wings, lightly stomping his feet on the ground before soaring into the sky.

He quickly returned to the top.

When Xiao Lin saw Gu Yan return safely, with an extra pair of wings, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Haha, Xiao Lin, look, I can fly now!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt dizzy and had to land on the ground.

"It seems that flying really takes a lot of energy."

"Plus, you were destroying the cave walls all night, so you're actually quite tired?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Gu Yan beckoned, and Xiao Lin jumped onto his shoulder.

After putting the rope away, Gu Yan started walking back.

However, just as he was about to enter the dense forest, a fragrant breeze suddenly blew towards him, and then a soft, fragrant body bumped into Gu Yan's arms.

The soft, delicate body that crashed into his arms felt like it had struck the very tip of Gu Yan's heart, causing his heart to tremble violently.

Subconsciously, Gu Yan reached out and embraced the slender waist that he had once praised as exquisite.

Because Gu Yan was quite exhausted and weak, the girl suddenly rushed over, and the two of them tripped and fell sideways.

Xiao Lin reacted quickly and jumped onto a nearby tree trunk in an instant.

With his arms tightly wrapped around that soft, slender waist, Gu Yan was momentarily lost in thought.

He took a deep breath, suppressing some of the burgeoning lust in him.

"Young lady, why are you attacking me?"

The girl's ethereal, beautiful face paled with panic as she gazed at the boy's face so close to hers. Her rosy lips pursed slightly as she anxiously cried out, "Who attacked you? I'm being chased by a monster! Get out of my way! I need to call Xiao Lan to save me! It's too late!"

By lowering his head slightly, Gu Yan could already feel the other person's breathing.

Hearing the girl's words, Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head again, his lips brushing against the girl's delicate earlobe, and whispered, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beast's roar echoed through the dense forest.

"You bastard!" Her pretty face paled slightly, and the girl suddenly felt an urge to punch the boy in front of her to death.

That's a snake-tailed leopard known for its strength!

But this guy insisted on keeping me down.

Are we both going to get eaten by the snake-tailed leopard?!

In the next instant, a large, muscular snake-tailed leopard burst out of the dense forest and charged directly at Gu Yan and his companion.

The girl's face turned deathly pale instantly.

However, at the critical moment, a white shadow suddenly shot out from the tree trunk beside it and crashed hard into the snake-tailed leopard.

Before the leopard could react, it was knocked back into the dense forest.

Immediately following was a painful howl.

Hearing the commotion in the dense forest, Little Fairy Doctor was slightly taken aback and looked at the boy on her back.

The two locked eyes, creating a rather eerie scene.

"Could...could you get up for a moment?"

After a moment of eye contact, the girl broke the silence first, speaking softly.

Blinked, Gu Yan nodded, shook his head slightly, and slowly stood up.

I feel a little dizzy.

"Thanks."

The girl quickly stood up, her cheeks slightly flushed, and whispered a thank you.

Her gaze swept across the dense forest without leaving a trace, her slender fingers tucked a strand of hair from her forehead back into place, and her eyes lingered on Gu Yan's face.

"What...what is that white shadow?" the girl asked softly.

Gu Yan smiled slightly and said, "He's my partner, Xiao Lin."

"Xiao Lin?" The girl glanced at the dense forest again, where the howling continued.

"Mmm." Gu Yan savored the softness in his hands earlier and nodded with a smile.

"Who is this Xiao Lan you just mentioned?"

The girl raised the bamboo flute in her hand and said softly, "It is also my companion, a first-tier blue eagle."

Gu Yan nodded slightly.

"What's your name?" the girl asked.

She had never seen this boy before.

"My name is Gu Yan, what's yours?"

"My name is Su Yao, but you may not be familiar with this name. People in Qingshan Town call me Little Fairy Doctor."

"Su Yao? Little Fairy Doctor?" Gu Yan raised an eyebrow, but his heart was in turmoil.

Although he had already guessed it, he couldn't help but feel moved when he heard Little Fairy Doctor admit it herself.

Fate is a truly wondrous thing.

You didn't want to go to her, but she just happened to appear in front of you.

It was as if it were destined.

but……

Su Yao?

So this is Little Fairy Doctor's real name?
