"Eh, how did you know there was a scroll inside the skeletal arm?" Little Fairy Doctor gazed at Xiao Han with immense curiosity.

"I'm an alchemist. My soul perception is exceptional. Though he hid it well, I still sensed it." Xiao Han casually brushed off Little Fairy Doctor's question. He was overjoyed inside; his cultivation had now advanced to the realm of a Four Star Dou Zhe.

Now, he was still 420 Experience Points away from the next realm.

"An alchemist?" Little Fairy Doctor's eyes held a trace of longing as she looked at Xiao Han with envy. Yet beneath that envy was also some sadness. She had once aspired to become a respected alchemist, but she was destined to become a poison master feared by all.

What a cruel twist of fate.

"Yes."

Clearly unwilling to continue the topic, Xiao Han held the black key in his hand and smiled as he walked toward the stone box on the stone table.

"Here we go. Let's see what treasure is inside."

Xiao Han smiled faintly. He knew all too well what treasures lay within these three boxes.

The three stone boxes before them were clearly the things the cave's owner valued most.

Little Fairy Doctor held her breath, her eyes fixed intently on the stone box about to be opened.

Click.

In the quiet cave, only the sound of the key moving within the metal lock could be heard.

"I'm opening it."

Xiao Han smiled, but before he could open the box, Little Fairy Doctor grabbed him and pulled him several steps back. Then, she struck out with her palm, and a gust of wind flipped open the stone box's lid.

Only after the lid had been opened did Little Fairy Doctor breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Xiao Han's stunned expression, she pursed her lips innocently. "What are you looking at? When you're out in the wild, being careful never hurts."

"Uh."

Xiao Han smiled and teased, "If you were thrown into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, I think you'd be more at ease there than outside. Those magical beasts are probably less cautious than you."

"Mhm, that's right. I think so too." Little Fairy Doctor smiled knowingly, a proud curve rising at the corner of her lips.

"Can you put away the thing in your other hand now?" Xiao Han suddenly asked.

"Uh..."

Little Fairy Doctor instinctively tucked her other hand behind her back. Her expression changed as she said speechlessly, "You knew?"

"Mhm." Xiao Han nodded slightly and said earnestly, "I told you before that you would be my comrade through life and death. At the same time, I hope I can become a friend worthy of having you entrust your back to me."

"I..." Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed slightly. Xiao Han had always been completely sincere with her, while she had remained wary of him all along. Thinking of this, she did not know what to say for a moment.

In Little Fairy Doctor's hand was a handful of green powder. It would not kill anyone, but it could put a person to sleep and instantly rob them of their ability to fight.

"Oh, it's a scroll." Xiao Han picked up the black scroll inside the box. After opening it, joy rose in his heart. "A Profound Rank High Level Flight Combat Skill: Eagle's Wings."

"A Flight Combat Skill?" Little Fairy Doctor looked stunned, her voice filled with disbelief. "What incredible luck. To find such a rare Flight Combat Skill in this cave."

Flight Combat Skills, as the name implied, were miraculous combat skills that allowed one to soar through the nine heavens.

"Mhm, I've got my eye on this. It's mine." Overjoyed, Xiao Han unceremoniously placed the scroll into his System Inventory. By now, it meant that he had gained another combat skill.

Flight Combat Skills possessed the divine ability to fuse combat skills. Xiao Han could not help wondering just how far his Purple Cloud Wings would evolve in the future.

"You're really annoying. You always pick the most valuable thing." Little Fairy Doctor pursed her lips. Having often mingled with mercenaries, she naturally understood the value of the combat skill before her.

On the Douqi Continent, a Dou Zhe could only fly after reaching the realm of a Dou Ling. However, even experts at the Dou Ling realm could only fly short distances. After reaching the realm of a Dou Wang, one could condense a pair of energy wings behind their back with Dou Qi and truly soar through the nine heavens.

Such Flight Combat Skills were extremely strange and rare. They could merge into the meridians of the human body and extend new branches from them, allowing one to form wings behind their back and soar into the clouds even before reaching the realm of a Dou Wang.

Flight—what a temptation.

Even so, Little Fairy Doctor knew that without Xiao Han, she likely would never have discovered this place. Having already obtained some rare medicinal herbs, she was more than satisfied.

Of course, Little Fairy Doctor probably did not know that even without Xiao Han, she would still have encountered the Beast Tide and discovered this cave.

"Quick, open the next stone box and see what's inside!" Little Fairy Doctor urged Xiao Han eagerly.

"Mhm."

Xiao Han nodded and inserted the black key in his hand into the metal lock.

Click.

The metal clasp on the lock sprang open, and Xiao Han immediately lifted the lid of the stone box. Inside lay an ancient, multicolored scroll.

"Another scroll?" Little Fairy Doctor pursed her lips and moved closer to Xiao Han, her gaze sweeping over the scroll in his hand.

"It's the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, which records how to concoct poisons." Xiao Han remained calm as he handed it to Little Fairy Doctor. "You should have this. It couldn't be more suitable for a poison master like you."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Little Fairy Doctor took a step back, her Willow Eyebrows slightly furrowed as she looked at Xiao Han with hostility.

"As friends, I think we should be honest. You don't need to pretend. There's a faint, unusual fragrance on you, one with toxic properties. If I remember correctly, it comes from frequently consuming poison. In other words, you're a poison master." Xiao Han spoke calmly, enunciating every word.

"You're right. I am indeed a poison master. But... aren't you afraid of me?" Little Fairy Doctor asked with a smile, forcing herself to appear strong in a way that made one's heart ache.

"Afraid? Why should I be?"

Xiao Han curled his lip and countered, "There are good people and bad people in every profession. Whether someone is good or bad isn't determined by their occupation, but by their heart. Even among poison masters, are there no good people at all? If you ask me, compared to those openly wicked people, hypocrites who wear human skin while sucking human blood are far more terrifying. In the end, it all comes down to the heart. If one's heart is kind, one is righteous; if one's heart is evil, one is wicked. It has nothing to do with one's profession!"

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Little Fairy Doctor was deeply shaken. After a long while, she said with utmost sincerity, "Thank you. No matter what I become or where I go in the future, you, Xiao Han, will always be a friend of mine, Little Fairy Doctor."

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, you have gained Little Fairy Doctor's approval and have become Little Fairy Doctor's friend. You have achieved a new accomplishment. Reward: Experience Points: 1000. Reward: Energy Points: 100."
