Chapter 37: Xiaolan
Su Yun took out two jade bottles from the system space.
He asked Xiao Yu to give them separately to Xiao Zhan and Jia Lie Bi.
"The one in the hands of the Xiao clan leader is a fourth-grade pill, the Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill, which can enhance the strength of a Dou Grandmaster by three stars.
However, if the refining fails, there will be backlash, and the risk of strength decline."
Su Yun sipped his tea and spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, both Xiao Zhan and Jia Lie Bi widened their eyes. Tempted by the prospect of a three-star enhancement, they unconsciously ignored the risk of backlash.
Xiao Zhan quickly thanked him, his face full of smiles.
"Thank you, Master Han, I'll accept this pill."
"Um."
Su Yun nodded. He had already used this item before, and it was just right as a reward.
Although he looked down on the strength of the Xiao family, they still had some uses, like handling trivial matters, such as eradicating a small clan, which was quite handy.
Jia Lie Bi, standing by, quickly asked about the pill in his hand.
"Master Han, may I ask about this one in my hand?"
Jia Lie Bi's tone was cautious, after all, his relationship with Su Yun wasn't as close as that between Xiao Zhan and Su Yun.
"Barrier Breaking Pill, also a fourth-grade pill, can only enhance by one star, but there's no backlash. Compared to the Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill, it's more stable."
Su Yun said. The Jia Lei family had put in a lot of effort this time, and deserved some benefits.
Jia Lie Bi was delighted to hear this. Although the Barrier Breaking Pill was not as good as the Three-Stripe Azure Spirit Pill, he was content.
After giving the rewards to both of them, Su Yun planned to return. He didn't intend to wait for the three elders to come back, and with his status, he didn't need to wait.
Su Yun stood up, cupped his hands towards Jia Lie Bi and Xiao Zhan.
"Master Han will return first, the remnants of the Oubad clan will trouble you two."
Xiao Zhan and Jia Lie Bi quickly stood up, nodding in agreement, and then Su Yun left the Xiao family amidst their grateful words.
He had been out for a while and needed to hurry back, or else the young girl would worry.
Walking on the road, Su Yun thought of something and a smile appeared on his face.
In a short while, Su Yun arrived near his house, the outline of the distant house already appearing in his eyes.
Su Yun took a few more steps forward, then suddenly frowned deeply.
The scent of a magical beast!
A trace of worry flashed through Su Yun's mind. He started running his Xuan Shadow Step at full speed.
Worried, Su Yun didn't take the front entrance and instead climbed over the wall to enter.
Back in his own yard, he saw Xiao Yi Xian with a flying magical beast, seemingly not in danger.
Su Yun's brows relaxed slightly. This flying magical beast was a blue eagle with blue feathers all over its body.
Combining memories from his past life, Su Yun vaguely understood what was happening.
He felt somewhat amazed by fate's wonders, not expecting that in this life, Xiao Yi Xian would encounter this blue eagle.
Xiao Yi Xian was facing away from Su Yun, and Su Yun's Xuan Shadow Step had already reached the Great Achievement realm.
When he climbed over the wall, it was silent, but the blue eagle noticed him and let out a few cries.
However, the sound was not loud, and it was clearly weak, indicating it was seriously injured.
The blue eagle tilted its head and cried out again. Xiao Yi Xian, puzzled, turned to look back.
"Brother!"
Xiao Yi Xian called out in surprise, her voice filled with delight. Every time Su Yun returned from being outside, Xiao Yi Xian would greet him with the same excitement.
Su Yun's face also broke into a smile, and he opened his arms. Xiao Yi Xian, with her heart and mind focused, ran a short distance and threw herself into Su Yun's embrace.
Holding the gentle and fragrant Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, Su Yun buried his head in her hair, lightly inhaling the girl's scent.
They hugged for a while before separating. Su Yun then asked, "Xian'er, how did this blue eagle end up here at our home?"
"Oh, it," Xiao Yi Xian explained, "came flying down from the sky shortly after Brother left. It was seriously injured, so Xian'er bandaged it up."
Xiao Yi Xian seemed to remember something else and quickly added, "Brother, don't worry, Xian'er made sure it was safe before approaching it."
Su Yun tapped Xiao Yi Xian's forehead with his finger. "You, don't do this again."
Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian's face lit up with a sweet smile. She thought to herself, 'Brother is the best. I knew he wouldn't be mad at me.'
Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian walked over to the blue eagle and squatted in front of it. Having the blue eagle around was good for Xiao Yi Xian, as Su Yun was often busy with cultivation and alchemy, and Xiao Yi Xian might get bored alone.
Su Yun reached out to check the blue eagle's injuries, but the bird let out a long cry and shrank back.
Xiao Yi Xian then extended her hand and gently stroked the trembling body of the blue eagle, soothingly saying, "Don't be afraid, Brother just wants to help you heal, he won't hurt you."
Perhaps reassured by Xiao Yi Xian's words, the blue eagle calmed down.
Seeing this, Su Yun reached out again to check the eagle's injuries.
He unwrapped the bandage, revealing a wound three feet deep. The clean, smooth cut seemed to have been made by a sharp blade, likely inflicted by mercenaries lurking nearby.
Su Yun completely removed the bandages, with Xiao Yi Xian assisting him. Previously, Xiao Yi Xian had only applied some hemostatic medicine to the eagle, and it could only recover through its own healing abilities.
Su Yun took out two jade bottles from his storage ring, feeding a pill to the blue eagle from one bottle, and handing the other to Xiao Yi Xian to sprinkle on the wound before re-bandaging it.
After Xiao Yi Xian busied herself for a while, the blue eagle was again wrapped in bandages.
The two stepped back, and under the effect of Su Yun's pill, the blue eagle regained some energy. It raised its head and let out a piercing cry towards the sky, the sound strong and not as weak as before.
Xiao Yi Xian smiled happily, seeing the blue eagle regain its vitality.
Su Yun patted Xiao Yi Xian's head gently.
The blue eagle flapped its wings but did not take off. Instead, it folded its wings and bowed its head, extending it towards Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian.
A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Yi Xian's face, and she reached out to touch the eagle's head.
Su Yun, with a smile on his face, also
reached out his hand.
The blue eagle's actions were akin to an ancient subject expressing loyalty to a king. In other words, the blue eagle had submitted to them.
In the Dou Qi Continent, there was no such thing as a magical beast contract. To earn a magical beast's loyalty, one had to capture a young beast and nurture a bond over a long period.
Su Yun stroked the blue eagle's azure feathers, his mind filled with different thoughts.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Yun shook his head and said to Xiao Yi Xian, "Xian'er, give it a name."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded, her delicate fingers tapping her head as if in deep thought.
After a while, her eyes lit up. "Let's call it Xiaolan."
