Encountering Xiao Yu by Chance

"Nether Poison Flame..." Xiao Yi Xian fell into deep thought upon hearing this, and after a moment, she looked up and said firmly. →

"I want to absorb this Heavenly Flames."

"Are you sure?" Xiao Ming asked in a deep voice.

"Heavenly Flames aren't so easy to absorb."

Xiao Ming recalled the pain he had endured when he first absorbed the Heavenly Flames. The feeling of countless scalding insects crawling all over his meridians was something not everyone could withstand.

"I've made up my mind." Xiao Yi Xian's expression was very firm.

"The Poison Fire Method can indeed control Poison Body, but Seventh Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core are already hard to find. It's better to directly seek out Poison Fire; that would greatly improve your strength."

Moreover, in that case, I can help you too. These words echoed only in Xiao Yi Xian's mind; she didn't say them to Xiao Ming.

Have you really thought this through?

"Of course, you're asking so many questions because you're reluctant to part with this Heavenly Flames, aren't you?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a grin, though it was just a joke.

"How could that be?" Xiao Ming shook his head with a laugh upon hearing this.

Although Heavenly Flames are very attractive to Alchemist, the Nether Poison Flame is not among them.

No one would be foolish enough to absorb such a deadly, poisonous Heavenly Flames.

That being said, this Heavenly Flames wasn't entirely useless to Xiao Ming; at least it contained a considerable amount of energy.

However, this thing is of greater help to Xiao Yi Xian, as it can provide her with a capable assistant in a short period of time.

This also saved him time in training Xiao Yi Xian.

In short, using this fire on Xiao Yi Xian is much more cost-effective than absorbing it yourself.

"Since you've made up your mind, then let's leave it at that. Focus on your cultivation from now on, and once you reach the Dou Ling, I'll take you on your journey."

"Hmm." Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently, then suddenly blushed and said, "I'm out of cultivation resources."

The cultivation resources that Xiao Yi Xian mentioned are Poison Pill, poisonous herbs, and poisonous medicines.

Although Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body cultivation is very fast, it still needs to devour these things.

The higher one's strength, the rarer and more difficult it becomes to obtain the necessary poisons.

Xiao Yi Xian is currently Da Dou Shi; there should be some poisonous herbs for sale in the Inner Academy's Trading Street.

Xiao Yi Xian had visited the Trading Street before, but Xiao Ming had given her only a small amount of Fire Energy, which she quickly used up.

"That's all? Then I'll take you to the Trading Area to look for it. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've strolled around the Inner Academy. Let's take a break today," Xiao Ming said immediately.

He didn't give Xiao Yi Xian much Fire Energy because he hadn't needed Fire Energy for a long time. What he gave Xiao Yi Xian and the others was what was left over from several years ago, divided equally between Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, with each person only having a little over a hundred days' worth.

However, Fire Energy is a minor issue.

He could easily exchange any one of these pills for thousands or tens of thousands of dollars.

You could even directly ask the elder in charge of this matter in the Inner Academy to Fire Energy.

The only Grade Six Alchemist at the Jia Nan Academy can do whatever he wants.

Of course, that's what he said, but he still planned to exchange it for pills, since it wouldn't cost much anyway.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Ming led Xiao Yi Xian out of his courtyard.

Xiao Ming's courtyard was in the Elder District, and the two walked towards the area where the students were.

There weren't many people on the road at first, but gradually more and more people encountered the two of them.

As the Inner Academy gradually became more lively, Xiao Ming smiled.

I felt a little emotional, "This inner courtyard is still as vibrant as ever."

"Get out of my way!" Suddenly, a familiar, delicate voice rang out, causing Xiao Ming to stop in his tracks.

Following the sound, a familiar figure came into view.

"Xiao Yu?"

She was quite tall, and below her waist were a pair of very impressive, rounded, and slender legs.

At this moment, Xiao Yu did not notice Xiao Ming. She was being harassed by a group of male students. The leader was a handsome man dressed in cyan clothing, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

That flower was no ordinary flower. Xiao Ming recognized it as a medicinal herb, which, when planted in a room, had a mild calming and soothing effect.

"I said, get out of my way, do you hear me!" Xiao Yu looked at the people blocking her way, her face showing impatience.

She was walking along the road when suddenly her path was blocked.

She recognized the person in charge. Ever since she entered the Inner Academy, this person had been harassing her relentlessly. She had told him long ago that she didn't like him, but he still shamelessly blocked her way every day.

It was really bothering her. If she could beat him, she would have taught them a lesson long ago.

"Junior Sister Xiao Yu, please say yes. I really like you very much. Look, this is Calming Flower that I specially found for you!" the Green-clothed Man said.

The people around her chimed in, "Yeah, look how much Yao Huai likes you, just say yes!"

"Say yes!"

"Say yes!"

"What does it matter to me if you like me? I will never like you, so get lost!" Xiao Yu, who had been pestered for a long time, had long lost her patience, and hearing this made her even more furious, her face turning red with anger.

Those who could enter the Inner Academy were all proud and arrogant, and Yao Huai was somewhat embarrassed by Xiao Yu's reprimand.

He had boasted to his companions that he would win over Xiao Yu and then have a good time with those long legs. To this end, he went to great lengths to find the Calming Flower, hoping to use it to win her over. However, he didn't expect that Xiao Yu was such an unyielding person.

They kept yelling and cursing at him, which completely wore down his already dwindling patience.

The smile on his face gradually faded, and then he said in a cold voice, "I'll ask you one last time, will you agree or not?"

"Heh, not pretending anymore? Let me tell you, I hate two-faced trash like you more than anything. There's no way I'll agree to this. Now get out of here!"

"You chose this yourself." Upon hearing this, Yao Huai gave a cold laugh and winked at the people around him, who immediately understood.

They quickly surrounded Xiao Yu.

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to force me? Don't forget, this is the Inner Academy." Xiao Yu frowned and said coldly.

"Of course I know this is the Inner Academy. However, the Inner Academy believes in the law of the jungle and does not prohibit sparring. I was just 'sparring' with you and accidentally bumped into you somewhere. It's normal, right? The elders won't care." Yao Huai said with a sinister smile.

"How dare you!" Xiao Yu was furious, but she Not Admit that Yao Huai's method was indeed feasible.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Seeing the anxious look on Xiao Yu's face, Yao Huai's face showed a smug look.

"You've got some nerve!" Suddenly, Yao Huai heard a cold voice behind him.

Upon hearing this, Yao Huai immediately turned around and shouted, "You brat, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. My brother is a member of the Medicine Gang..."

As he finished speaking, his voice trailed off.

Because he realized that the person speaking was Xiao Ming.

As an elder of the Inner Academy, Xiao Ming was known to many students.

Because of his exceptional talent and superb Alchemy Technique, he is regarded as an idol by many.

Yao Huai's older brother happened to be among them, and influenced by his brother, he recognized Xiao Ming at a glance.

Upon seeing that it was Xiao Ming, Yao Huai's face paled, and she stammered, "It's not what you think. I just wanted to teach her a lesson..."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Xiao Yu's delighted cry from behind him.

"Cousin Xiao Ming!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Yao Huai's face begin to break out in a cold sweat, but his accomplices next to him also broke out in a cold sweat and felt their legs go weak.

"Xiao Ming Xiao Yu, they both have the surname Xiao. Damn it, why didn't Xiao Yu say he was a member of Xiao Ming's clan earlier? If he had said so earlier, there wouldn't have been any problems." Yao Huai thought to himself with resentment.

Xiao Ming first nodded to Xiao Yu, then said to Yao Huai beside him, "Go back and pack your things. Leave the Inner Academy within three days. You've been expelled."

Upon hearing this, Yao Huai felt as if struck by lightning. "No, even if you are an elder of the Inner Academy, you cannot expel me at will."

"Heh, you can try not leaving." Xiao Ming was too lazy to pay him any attention. The elders of the Inner Academy could not expel students at will, but that was based on the premise that the other party had done nothing wrong.

Furthermore, the students don't provoke the elders unnecessarily, so very few students are expelled.

Yao Huai's situation was different; he was caught red-handed, so expelling him was absolutely no problem.

After speaking, Xiao Ming glanced at the other "accomplices" beside him and said, "You lot, each of you will be fined one hundred Fire Energy. Go find the Punishment Elder and explain the situation to yourselves."

"Yes." Although they felt a little sorry for their Fire Energy, the others nodded quickly. Compared to Yao Huai, who was expelled, deducting Fire Energy was at least within an acceptable range.

"Alright, you can leave now."

At Xiao Ming's command, the men hurriedly dragged the distraught Yao Huai away.

At this moment, Xiao Ming turned his gaze to Xiao Yu was somewhat excited.

She and Xiao Ming hadn't seen each other for almost a year.

She never expected that their reunion would be like this. Fortunately, Xiao Ming came to her rescue this time; otherwise, she would definitely have been taken advantage of by others.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu said gratefully, "Thank you Xiao Ming, for helping me out of that situation."

"We're from the same clan, no need for such formalities." Xiao Ming smiled and shook his head. "In the future, if you encounter similar disgusting situations, just say my name."

Xiao Yu nodded upon hearing this, indicating that she understood. Then, she looked at the Xiao Yi Xian next to Xiao Ming and asked with some curiosity, "What is this?"

"Let me introduce you, this is Xiao Yi Xian," Xiao Ming said to Xiao Yu, then added to Xiao Yi Xian, "This is my clansman, named Xiao Yu."

After Xiao Ming finished his introduction, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yi Xian nodded to each other as a greeting.

Xiao Ming carefully examined Xiao Yu and discovered that her strength had progressed to the Six Star Dou Shi.

This couldn't help but surprise him. "Your strength has improved quite rapidly in the past year or so."

"This is all thanks to your pills, cousin. Otherwise, I wouldn't have reached this level," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

When Xiao Ming left the Xiao Family, he left behind some pills. As a genius of the Xiao Family, and with his grandfather being the Great Elder, Xiao Yu naturally had no shortage of them.

With sufficient resources, advanced Cultivation Method, and considerable talent, it's not surprising that he made such a significant breakthrough.

Xiao Ming didn't shake his head or say anything more, but changed the subject. "You haven't been in the Inner Academy for long, have you? I'm going to take a walk around the Inner Academy anyway, want to come along?"

"Okay." Xiao Yu didn't hesitate at all, thinking that she was fine, and immediately agreed.

In the following time, Xiao Yu walked around the Inner Academy with Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Ming also learned from her that another member of the same clan from the Jia Nan Academy, Xiao Hu, had also entered the Inner Academy.

As the three walked through the Inner Academy, many people saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Ming chatting and laughing, and immediately realized that the relationship between Xiao Ming and Xiao Yu was not simple.

Considering that Xiao Ming and Xiao Yu share the same surname, the relationship between the two is quite obvious.

Those students who guessed the relationship between the two immediately regarded Xiao Yu as someone not to be trifled with.

Of course, besides the students who guessed about the two, there were also students who hadn't thought about it, or who weren't interested in this aspect.

These people felt extremely excited upon seeing Xiao Ming.

After all, Xiao Ming has been making headlines these past few days for killing the Gold and Silver Elders, who were comparable to Dou Zong.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the Strong Rule, and Xiao Ming naturally gained a large following of admirers.

Why "again"? Because Xiao Ming already had a large following of fans.

Therefore, Xiao Ming remained calm in the face of the intense gazes he had received along the way, because he was already used to it.

Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Both of them were beautiful and were already used to such gazes.

And so, under the watchful eyes of the students, Xiao Ming first led the two to the Fire Energy Exchange, and exchanged three thousand Fire Energy with pills.

Then, they went to the Trading Street and bought a poisonous herb. Feeling that it wasn't enough, Xiao Ming went to the Medicinal Herb Warehouse and met the Guardian Elder who was complaining. He learned that Zi Yan had stolen several more herbs, comforted the elder, and took a few herbs. Only then did Xiao Ming and his companions turn back.

After finishing, there was still a lot of Fire Energy left, so Xiao Ming had Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yu divide it equally, since keeping it was useless to him.

Xiao Yu initially refused. The Fire Energy was insignificant to Xiao Ming, but to her, it was a huge sum of money.

However, after being persuaded by Xiao Ming, she accepted Xiao Ming Fire Energy.

Standing at the dormitory entrance, Xiao Yu watched Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian's departing figures, a warm feeling flowing through her heart.

Studying far from home in a foreign country, with family members to take care of you, is truly a heartwarming thing.

Even though this tribesman was younger than her.

Xiao Ming and Xiao Yi Xian returned to Xiao Ming's courtyard together.

Xiao Ming noticed that Zi Yan had returned to the living room.

Upon entering the living room, I indeed found Zi Yan staring intently at the medicinal herbs in my hand, her eyes shining.

"Xiao Ming, you're back just in time!"

Zi Yan's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Xiao Ming, and she immediately handed him the medicinal herbs, her meaning clear.

Xiao Ming shook his head and casually took the medicinal herbs.

"You rascal, you're always going to the Medicinal Herb Warehouse, the Guardian Elder is about to cry."

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan wrinkled her little nose and snorted, "Why is he crying? That thing isn't his."

"I just ran into Old Man Su, but he didn't say anything."

"Oh, by the way, Old Man Su wants you to come over; he says he needs to talk to you."
