The blazing sun scorched the earth, and the searing heat distorted the air in the distance.

His feet occasionally stepped on fallen leaves beneath the roadside trees, producing crisp cracking sounds. The leaves had already been baked dry and brittle by the intense heat.

On the broad yellow-earth road, a black-clad youth walked forward. Unlike the others, who were sweating profusely and suffering in the heat, not a trace of moisture showed on his body. His expression was calm and composed, as though the high temperature had no effect on him whatsoever.

People around him occasionally cast glances his way. It was not only because his reaction was so different from theirs, but also because compared to the burly, scar-faced, thickly muscled men in the town, this youth was practically a refined young master from a troubled world, dazzling like a pearl in the night.

Some scantily clad female mercenaries could not help licking their lips, their eyes lighting up.

Feeling the predatory gazes around him, Lu Bu let out a long sigh. When a boy goes out, he really has to protect himself.

But just as the female mercenaries were about to approach him, they inexplicably felt a chill—a chill that came from the depths of their souls, as if they had been targeted by a powerful magical beast.

They did not know what had happened, but they understood the principle of pursuing benefit and avoiding harm. Their feet halted instinctively, and they could only watch as the handsome young master drifted away.

"Qingshan Town... so I've arrived." Lu Bu looked at the enormous signboard above him and chuckled.

He had come here first to obtain the map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame... Though calling it a map was not quite right. It should be called an inheritance. The Heaven Refining Ancient Formation of the Pure Lotus Demon Sage possessed an almost fatal attraction for a talisman master like him.

If he could study it, his combat strength would definitely rise by leaps and bounds. In addition, Lu Bu had to go to the Tagor Desert. Heavenly Flames were extremely important. After obtaining one, Lu Bu would also have to make a trip to Jia Nan Academy.

It was not because of the Fallen Heart Flame, but because of Zi Yan.

During the Hundred Dynasties Great War in his previous life, Lu Bu had obtained the Ancient Key and opened the Azure Dragon Hall of the Four Great Xuan Sects, acquiring the inheritance of the Azure Dragon King Qing Zhi: the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art.

Unfortunately, before he could make this supreme art shine, he had died at the hands of a powerful expert from the Western Xuan Region. He had to admit... luck was indeed a form of strength.

Lu Bu let out a long sigh. The cultivation method for the Azure Heaven Dragon Transformation Art was etched deep within his soul, but without Heavenly Dragon Qi, it was impossible to cultivate. Lu Bu planned to try using the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon.

Such a powerful supreme art absolutely could not be wasted in his hands!

As his thoughts raced, Lu Bu walked into a medicine shop called "Myriad Medicine Hall." He had chatted with Gu Ni a few days ago and learned some basic medicinal knowledge. He planned to obtain some medicinal ingredients and try refining pills himself.

"Ah, ah, esteemed guest, welcome to Myriad Medicine Hall. May I ask what medicines or medicinal ingredients you need?" The moment Lu Bu stepped through the door, a shop assistant approached him with a beaming smile.

Lu Bu: "..."

Something was wrong. Shouldn't no one pay attention to him, then shouldn't he find that he could not afford the medicinal ingredients he wanted, and afterward be looked down on by the shop assistant?

Could it be because I'm not the protagonist? Is that why I'm being treated differently?

How outrageous!

"Esteemed guest?" The shop assistant chuckled. "Our little shop has all kinds of medicine: for external injuries, internal injuries, oral medicine, topical medicine, finished products, and medicinal ingredients. What do you need?"

"Ahem..." Lu Bu covered his fist and coughed lightly. One did not strike someone who wore a smile, so he could not find an excuse to cause trouble for the moment. "I'll look around first. I'll call you if I need anything."

"Of course, dear customer. No problem, dear customer~"

The shop assistant immediately turned around and got busy, using the exact same spiel on another customer who had just entered.

Lu Bu surveyed the shop, pondering inwardly. Xiao Yan seemed to have found a rare medicinal ingredient here. What was it again?

The soul power between Lu Bu's brows slowly spread outward, sensing the surrounding environment. Before long, his gaze locked onto a corner on the right side of the shop, where a bundle of medicinal ingredients had been placed.

Found it!

Wonderful!

"This dear customer has such a good eye." The shop assistant noticed Lu Bu's gaze and immediately ran over with a smile.

"This is Yellow Lotus Essence personally gathered by Xiao Yi Xian. It hasn't even been opened yet. One piece costs one hundred gold coins. Very cheap!"

"Xiao Yi Xian..." Lu Bu's eyes brightened. He had been looking for her.

"I'll take that entire bundle of Yellow Lotus Essence." Lu Bu smiled. "But I want to ask you something. Do you know where Xiao Yi Xian is?"

The shop assistant's eyes lit up. He hoisted the bundle of Yellow Lotus Essence and quickly began calculating, afraid that Lu Bu might change his mind. At the same time, he answered, "Xiao Yi Xian is the physician of our Myriad Medicine Hall. She's in that direction inside the shop. If you need treatment, you can find her..."

"That comes to two thousand three hundred gold coins, esteemed guest..." After finishing the calculation, the shop assistant rubbed his hands together and looked at Lu Bu expectantly.

Lu Bu flicked a finger, sending a large bag of gold coins flying over. While in the Imperial Capital, Lu Bu had withdrawn all the funds from the Gold Card in Yun Yue's Ring.

There were more than three hundred thousand gold coins in total. He had to admit, Yun Leng, this First Elder, truly treated his son well.

"Dear customer, please take your medicinal ingredients." After counting the gold coins, the shop assistant said with a beaming smile.

Lu Bu's gaze swept over them. He picked up a piece of Yellow Lotus Essence and lightly cut across it with his fingertip. A faint crimson hue appeared on its dry, earthy-yellow surface.

Blood Lotus Essence—the primary ingredient for refining the Fifth-grade Pill, the Blood Lotus Pill. In other places, it could not be bought for less than eight hundred thousand or a million gold coins.

He did not need this thing, but Xiao Yan did. He would take advantage of Xiao Yan when the time came. Xiao Yan would surely be delighted to make this trade.

Lu Bu gave a strange laugh. Taking advantage of the protagonist was the most fun. He then swept out his hand, storing all of it in his Ring. Envy appeared in the shop assistant's eyes.

A Ring was a luxury to him. If he ever got the chance to obtain one, his life would not have been wasted.

Lu Bu walked out of the shop and left Myriad Medicine Hall. He was going to find Xiao Yi Xian and search for treasure.

As dusk approached, Xiao Yi Xian also finished a day of work as a physician at Myriad Medicine Hall. She briskly put away the various medicines and instruments, humming a tune with an exceptionally pleasant mood.

"Ah... finally finished..." Her assistant, Lifi, let out a long sigh, as though she had set down a thousand-pound burden. "This kind of life is so boring. Day after day, it's incredibly dull."

"Not at all." Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently. "Treating illnesses and saving people is a wonderful job. They're happy."

"Who cares whether those ugly men are happy?" Lifi curled her lips. "Sister Xiao Yi Xian, has anything fun happened recently?"

"Something fun?" Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head, then lifted the strands of black hair falling beside her ear and smiled. "I found a high-quality White Orchid Fruit. It can be used to make many excellent medicines."

Lifi rolled her eyes. "What's so interesting about that? It just means earning a few more gold coins."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yi Xian pressed her lips together and twirled a strand of hair around her slender finger, as if considering something.

Her assistant's eyes lit up. Lifi did not disturb Xiao Yi Xian. She sat to the side with her chin propped up, waiting for Xiao Yi Xian to speak.

"Lifi, I'm only telling you this. You absolutely can't tell anyone else." Xiao Yi Xian pulled Lifi closer and spoke in a low voice.

"Mm-hmm!" Lifi nodded repeatedly, the flames of gossip blazing in her eyes. She thought Xiao Yi Xian was about to tell her about some handsome mercenary.

"When I was gathering medicinal ingredients today, I discovered a cave beneath a cliff..."

"Wha..." Lifi was greatly startled and was about to cry out, but Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly covered her mouth and pressed the sound back down.

"A treasure?" Lifi asked in a whisper, her eyes shining brightly. She had heard too many stories about people falling off cliffs, discovering an elder's inheritance, and ultimately defeating their enemies with it.

"It should be..." Xiao Yi Xian's red lips curled slightly upward. She thoroughly enjoyed the look in Lifi's eyes, which brought her quite a bit of satisfaction.

Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's affirmative answer, Lifi's eyes brightened. But soon, her brows furrowed. She bit her lip, her gaze flickering, apparently pondering something.

Immersed in her sense of satisfaction, Xiao Yi Xian failed to notice anything unusual about her assistant. She was thinking about finding time to visit the cave. Perhaps she could obtain the inheritance as well and become an unrivaled expert or something.

Outside the window, Lu Bu stood quietly, taking everything in. Xiao Yi Xian wore a white dress, her pretty face delicate and charming, her bearing fresh and ethereal.

She gave people the feeling of a gentle spring breeze. She was a rare beauty, especially with that slender waist that could be encircled with one arm. If he could hold her and toy with her for a while, it would surely feel wonderful.

Of course, Lu Bu was only thinking about it. He was destined to become a Dou Di, after all, and was not so shallow as to be bewitched by lust. He immediately stamped his foot and walked inside.

Sensing that someone had suddenly barged in, Xiao Yi Xian raised her head in displeasure. Her willow brows furrowed as she was about to scold him.

But the words stopped at her lips. Light gleamed in her beautiful eyes, her red lips parted slightly, and she smiled.

"Has this young master come to Myriad Medicine Hall because you're feeling unwell? Would you like me to examine you?"

Lu Bu: "..."

Sigh, being handsome really is a curse. Putting on a show is so difficult!
