Inside the cave, Xiang Yun, who had been unconscious for several days, was alarmed by the loud noise coming from outside, finally waking up.

He opened his eyes, and his pupils gradually became focused. His consciousness also gradually became clear. The unbearable pain in his body had already disappeared. However, the injuries on his body still had not recovered.

"Ugh!"

Xiang Yun struggled to lift himself up and lean against the walls of the cave. He slowly sat up, then propped himself up against the wall once more.

When he arrived at the cave's entrance, Xiang Yun was shocked to discover that the originally huge semicircle's entrance had been completely sealed off by stone. There was only a small hole at the bottom right corner that could only be drilled by one person.

Suddenly!

A figure flashed by and actually entered through the small hole. Xiang Yun was shocked and was about to cry out in alarm.

He felt a warm sensation on his mouth and a faint fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose. His mouth had already been stuffed shut.

"Don't talk!"

What entered his ears was a man's low and anxious voice!

Xiang Yun was stunned, subconsciously wanting to struggle!

The man had actually covered his mouth and lifted his shoulder. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed into the depths of the cave where he had lost consciousness!

"Woo woo!"

Arriving at the cave, Xiang Yun tried to struggle free, but the man opposite him said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, but you mustn't make even the slightest sound. If you attract those fellows outside, we'll all lose our lives!"

Hearing this, Xiang Yun felt slightly surprised in his heart, but he still nodded his head.

The man let go of Xiang Yun's hand, his body staggering as he fell to the ground!

"Cough, cough!"

The man covered his mouth and hurriedly coughed a few times. It seemed that he had suffered quite a heavy injury!

He didn't know what was going on outside, nor did he know why this person was here, but judging from his appearance, the situation outside was definitely not too optimistic. Could it be that he was being tracked by the Cloud Beast?

At that moment, both of them were heavily injured, yet they didn't even talk. They both sat down cross-legged to heal their wounds!

Xiang Yun sat down cross-legged and immediately entered a state of cultivation. The first thing he did was to inspect his own body and the injuries within it.

In Xiang Yun's eyes, it was already a miracle that he could still wake up after swallowing the two Cloud Beast Crystals. He just did not know what had happened to his body after they had tormented it.

The strange energy that he had been hit by Zheng Heshan's palm earlier seemed to have been completely eliminated.

"Eh, where are those two Cloud Beast Crystals?"

Xiang Yun suddenly thought of the two Cloud Beast Crystals that he had swallowed in his stomach, and his heart skipped a beat.

The first thing that came to his mind was whether or not the two Cloud Beast Crystals had already left his body.

However, in the next moment, Xiang Yun made an even more astonis.h.i.+ng discovery!

At this moment, although it was still coiled obediently within his dantian, the dragon-shaped shadow had undergone a tremendous change!

That was because the dragon-shaped shadow was no longer emitting a faint blue light. In its place, there was a layer of purple flames covering its body. It was exactly the same as the purple flames on the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion's body!

"What's going on!" Xiang Yun was shocked!

"Ang!"

As if Xiang Yun's mind had touched upon the divine dragon, the purple dragon that had been coiled around his dantian suddenly raised its head. Due to the purple flames, its illusory form became extremely solid, like a real dragon.

The instant Zi Long raised his head, Xiang Yun cried out in shock!

"These eyes!"

Xiang Yun discovered to his amazement that the purple dragon's eyes had actually opened, a strange black and purple pair. The two eyes that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with energy did not look strange, but instead seemed extremely mystical!

"Black and purple!"

Seeing these two familiar colors, as well as the aura within them, Xiang Yun's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly guessed the reason!

"Could it be that it devoured two of the Cloud Beast Crystals?"

Xiang Yun had only guessed half right. The dragon-shaped shadow formed from Sky Dragon zhen Qi had indeed swallowed two Cloud Beast Crystals.

However, it was unable to completely devour the energy within. At this moment, the two formed a balance. The Heavenly Dragon's true energy bound the two Cloud Beast Crystals and began to absorb the immense energy within.

Because the purple cloud beast crystal was a king level beast crystal, it naturally occupied a dominant position within the Divine Dragon's body. Thus, the Divine Dragon showed signs of lingering purple flames!

Xiang Yun's cultivation was currently too low, after all. Who knew how long it would take for him to completely absorb the energy within it?

However, with the increase in Xiang Yun's cultivation, the speed of this devouring would naturally increase!

However, Xiang Yun did not know much about this matter. Seeing that the two Cloud Beast Crystals had fused into the Divine Dragon's body, Xiang Yun did not know whether to be happy or worried.

He was worried that the two Cloud Beast Crystals would explode once again, torturing him to death.

After absorbing the two Cloud Beast Crystals, the Purple Dragon's aura seemed to have become even more formidable and formidable than before. However, he had no idea how much stronger it had become!

Now that Xiang Yun was certain that he was not in any immediate danger, he was no longer in a hurry to find out the power of the purple dragon.

As he operated the technique, the surrounding cloud energy gathered and formed a whirlwind above his head. This whirlwind was at least twice as large as before. The cloud energy quickly gathered on top of Xiang Yun's head and entered the meridians in his body.

At the same time, the terrifyingly powerful Purple Flame Divine Dragon flew out of his dantian and roamed freely within Xiang Yun's meridians, beginning its Circulatory Cycle Revolution!

The moment the cloud power in the sky entered Xiang Yun's body and converged with the purple dragon, Xiang Yun could clearly see it.

The moment the strand of blue cloud energy entered the Purple Dragon's body, it was immediately burned by the purple flames. Strands of black smoke came out of it.

The black gas followed his acupuncture points and exited his body. It was as if the purple fire could remove the impurities from the cloud energy and only absorb it into pure cloud energy!

Seeing that this purple fire actually had such an effect, Xiang Yun couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart. It seemed that these two Cloud Beast Crystals were quite beneficial!

While Xiang Yun was cultivating, that golden spiritual root spread out a clear stream like it always did. It flowed along with his blood, roaming all over his body, fusing into his severely injured organs, muscles, and bones!

Without the destruction caused by the strange energy, the restoration energy immediately regained its former efficiency and quickly restored Xiang Yun's body that was on the verge of collapsing!

From day to night, Xiang Yun finally woke up from his cultivation. It was not that he had awoken on purpose, but rather that his stomach was unceasingly cooing, waking him up.

The moment Xiang Yun awoke from his cultivation, he felt an indescribable sense of hunger.

Due to his earlier injuries, the pain on Xiang Yun's body had suppressed his hunger, allowing him to immediately enter a state of cultivation.

Now that he had cultivated for an entire day, the injuries on Xiang Yun's body had recovered just a little. An intense hunger welled up within him, forcefully interrupting his cultivation.

Immediately, Xiang Yun inspected the storage ring on his right hand. Currently, within the storage ring, there was only a piece of dried meat the size of a child's palm left.

Back then when he had come to Qingming Mountain, Xiang Yun had only thought of returning on the same day. He had also casually brought some of these food with him; there hadn't been much at all.

At this moment, Xiang Yun was very hungry. Not caring about anything else, he took out some dried meat and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Gu Gu"

At this moment, the sounds of hunger rang out again from within his stomach. However, it was not Xiang Yun's own stomach that was growling.

He looked across at the man who was sitting on the inner wall of the cave just like him. The man had also stopped cultivating and was looking in his direction.

Due to the dim light inside the cave, the two of them were not very close. Although Xiang Yun's eyesight was astounding, they could not see each other clearly.

The latter had a somewhat skinny body, a wide black robe, and a hair bun on her head. The outline of her face was quite gentle. From the looks of it, she was likely a young man.

At this moment, the young man's bright eyes were staring straight at him. To be exact, they were staring at the dried meat in his hands.

"Gulp!"

It sounded like he was swallowing his saliva. It was obvious that this person was starving.

Xiang Yun hesitated for a moment before splitting the dried meat in his hands into two. He then threw the larger one towards that person!

That person caught it with his hand and spoke to Xiang Yun.

"Thank you!"

With that, he placed the dried meat next to his mouth and began to eat. The latter looked hungry, and the dried meat was only the size of a baby's palm.

As for Xiang Yun, he directly stuffed the dried meat into his mouth, chewing on it a few times before swallowing it.

Xiang Yun then turned around quietly and took out a water bag from his storage ring, gulping down a few mouthfuls of water.

After he finished, Xiang Yun tossed the water bag to the man opposite him.

"Drink some water!"

"Thank you!" The man took the water bag and thanked him again.

Seeing that the man was still slowly eating the dried meat, Xiang Yun slowly stood up and was about to walk towards the cave entrance.

"I'll go out to check on the situation, and get some food as well." A single piece of jerky was definitely not enough to eat.

Xiang Yun had to think of a way to go out and get something to eat, as well as to take a look at the situation outside the cave. He still did not know the outcome of the battle between the azure-eyed Red Flame Lion and the giant beast.

"You can't go out, it's dangerous outside, your cultivation is too low!"

"Ugh …"

Xiang Yun was speechless when he heard this, thinking, This person's words, aren't they too displeasing to the ears? He had felt this person's aura before.

This person's aura was not strong. On the contrary, he seemed to be even weaker than her, and she even said that her cultivation was low.

Hearing this, the man nodded and said, "It's fine. Once I recover some of my cloud energy, I'll have some food for you. You can't go out right now. It's very dangerous outside."

As he spoke, the man raised his hand towards Xiang Yun. A light flashed on the middle finger of the latter's right hand - it was a dark green ring!
