79: Chapter 79 Zi Yan Grows UpListening to Zi Yan’s recounting, Chen Yang stepped forward and opened his arms, pulling her small figure into his embrace, his palm slowly stroking her petite head.

”It’s alright. From now on, you have me. I will be with you.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Zi Yan lifted her tear-filled eyes to look at him and asked softly, ”Really? Then are you willing to refine medicine for me to eat every day?”

Upon hearing Zi Yan’s words, the corners of Chen Yang’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected Zi Yan to play the psychological card; if anyone ever called her unintelligent again, he would be furious.

”Of course. Refinement of mere medicinal pills won’t take much of my time, and besides, I am a Grade 8 Alchemist.”

Hearing Chen Yang declare himself a Grade 8 Alchemist, Zi Yan’s eyes instantly brightened. She knew her chance to grow up had arrived; after all, to fully grow up, she still needed a Grade 7 Transformation Pill.

And a Grade 8 Alchemist should find refining a Grade 7 pill quite easy.

”Big Brother, would you be willing to refine a Transformation Pill for me?”

Looking at Zi Yan’s expectant expression, Chen Yang nodded slowly.

”Great! Zi Yan can finally grow up.”

”By the way, Big Brother, I don’t even know your name yet. As for me, my name is Zi Yan, and I am a Dou Wang. Don’t worry, Big Brother, I won’t let you refine medicine for me for free. If you ever need anything in the future, just come find me.”

”I will definitely get it done for you.”

Zi Yan jumped out of Chen Yang’s arms, stood on the medicine cabinet, and confidently patted her flat chest, promising him.

Seeing Zi Yan so confident, he smiled slightly and said, ”As for me, my name is Han Li. I am a Dou Zong and also a Grade 8 Alchemist. Follow me, and you can rest assured—there will definitely be enough medicinal pills for you to eat.”

After saying this, Chen Yang took a jade bottle directly from his storage ring. Inside was the Purple Fire Pill, refined from the Amethyst Companion Source, which contained a great deal of fire-attribute energy—just right for Zi Yan.

Then, he slowly opened his other hand, revealing a medicinal pill.

”The bottle in my left hand is called the Purple Fire Pill, and in my right is the Transformation Pill you need. Come, take them.”

Zi Yan joyfully took the pills from Chen Yang’s hand. Without even sniffing them, she swallowed the Transformation Pill. Immediately, purple light radiated from her body, gradually transforming her into a massive purple dragon egg.

Countless amounts of energy were sucked into the dragon egg, and the surrounding medicinal herbs began to turn gray and white; one look was enough to tell that the energy within them had been forcibly drained.

Seeing this, Chen Yang frowned. The energy required for Zi Yan’s evolution was too vast. If this continued, the medicinal herbs in the entire warehouse would be drained dry, which would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang immediately took the wisp of supreme liquid from his storage ring. The supreme liquid floated in his palm, moving slowly. Controlling his divine power, Chen Yang slowly extracted one-third of the energy from it and injected it into Zi Yan’s dragon egg.

With the injection of the supreme liquid, the dragon egg immediately emitted an even more dazzling light. Looking at the supreme liquid in his hand that was about to lose its vitality completely, Chen Yang swallowed it in one gulp. This amount of energy was not enough to allow him to break through to the next realm.

However, it wasn’t far off; he was only a hair’s breadth away from the Fourth Level Third Stage. He reckoned that as long as he entered the Heavenly Flame Training Pagoda and drained the energy of the Fallen Heart Flame, he would certainly be able to break through.

He activated the Undying Heavenly Art, and the remaining supreme liquid was instantly refined, turning into divine power to nourish his limbs.

After finishing the refinement, Chen Yang opened his eyes and looked at the dragon egg. Perhaps because he had injected the supreme liquid, the energy within Zi Yan’s dragon egg was quite sufficient, and it had now begun to develop cracks.

It seemed she was going to break out of the shell early. He recalled that in the original story, it took Zi Yan a month to break out of the dragon egg.

However, with Chen Yang’s help now, it was clear that Zi Yan was going to advance to Dou Huang ahead of schedule.

Just as Chen Yang expected, the purple dragon egg began to crack continuously, and the purple light was constantly receding.

Chen Yang’s eyes narrowed. He raised his hand, and a protective barrier condensed from the Holy Light Technique enveloped both him and the dragon egg, ensuring that Zi Yan’s breaking out of the shell would not destroy the medicinal herbs.

”Bang!!!”

With a loud explosion, purple light shot out in all directions, but it was completely blocked by the protective barrier formed by the Holy Light Technique.

”Ah, so comfortable! I’ve finally grown up; I’m an adult dragon now!”

Amidst the purple light, a soft, feminine voice drifted out. As the purple light dissipated, a tall figure appeared in Chen Yang’s field of vision, and he saw Zi Yan, completely exposed before his eyes.

Chen Yang hadn’t expected that not only was Zi Yan’s hair purple, but even that place was the same, causing Chen Yang’s appetite to soar.

”Big Brother Han Li, look and see if Zi Yan has grown up.”

Zi Yan twisted her body. Her eyes were alluring, her finger rested on her crimson lips, and she tilted her head to look at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang closed his eyes, took a black robe from his storage ring, tossed it to Zi Yan, and said.

”Zi Yan, you’d better put on some clothes. I am not looking.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Zi Yan took the clothes he tossed over, smiled shyly, her cheeks flushing a beautiful crimson.

Just as Zi Yan put on the clothes and before she could react, her body instantly lit up with purple light, and a small, startled cry reached Chen Yang’s ears.

”Ah, what’s going on?”

Chen Yang opened his eyes to see that Zi Yan had already reverted to her original appearance—a small child wearing an oversized black robe.

Chen Yang teleported directly to Zi Yan’s side and took her tiny wrist. As he injected his divine power into her body, Chen Yang discovered two streams of energy within her that were preventing her from maintaining her adult form.

”Zi Yan, it seems the Transformation Pill cannot help you. There are two forces inside your body that you cannot control with your current ability, which is why you have reverted to a child’s body.”

”To fully possess an adult body, you must either be able to control these two forces or break through to become a Dou Zong and reach the rank of a Tier 7 Magical Beast.”

Chen Yang let go of Zi Yan’s wrist, shook his head, and slowly explained the situation inside her body.

After hearing Chen Yang’s words, Zi Yan immediately wore a bitter expression, pouting as she said softly, ”Ah, so that’s how it is. Then when will I be able to break through to Dou Zong?”

”Don’t worry. With me, a Grade 8 Alchemist, helping you break through to Dou Zong will be a piece of cake.”

Chen Yang raised his hand to stroke Zi Yan’s hair and said with a smile.

”Alright then, Big Brother Han Li. Zi Yan’s future will be in your hands.”

Looking at Zi Yan’s expectant gaze, Chen Yang nodded, took her hand, and slowly walked toward the warehouse entrance.

Meanwhile, outside, the person watching the warehouse felt very anxious as powerful auras and purple light occasionally emanated from within, and they desperately wanted to go in and see what was happening.

However, he held back. He did not want to go in and disrupt Chen Yang’s plan to take Zi Yan away, so he could only sigh helplessly outside.
