Little Fairy Doctor of Green Mountain Town!

Several days later at noon, I finally arrived at Green Mountain Town. I lifted the curtain and began surveying this small town closest to the Monster Mountain Range.

There were quite a few shops on both sides of the street, naturally catering to the mercenaries who filled the town. These mercenaries made their living hunting Magical Beasts and risking their lives, so they were all crude and brutish. In groups of three or five, they loudly discussed which women had the most flavor and where they ought to go have a taste later...

The vulgar voices reached my ears, and I frowned as I said to the Guard Captain standing vigilantly beside the carriage, "Find an inn for us first."

After checking into the inn and finishing lunch, I returned to my room to rest while considering the matter of Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor had been born with the Calamity Poison Body, and her greatest opportunity was the "Seven Coloured Poison Scripture" within a cave in the Monster Mountain Range.

According to the story, she would accidentally discover that cave a year later, then enter it together with Xiao Yan, who had come to Green Mountain Town to train. However, she would be betrayed by an assistant and surrounded by the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. Xiao Yan would later lead her out of the encirclement...

But now, Xiao Yan had been affected by me. He likely would never come to Green Mountain Town again in his life. If I did not intervene, Little Fairy Doctor would die at the hands of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group a year from now!

I sighed in frustration. Everything in this world was interlinked, yet now there was an enormous variable like me... The more I did, the more I would change, until history itself became unrecognizable.

But I could not stop, because human desire was boundless...

I felt that I had already been controlled by my desires, frantically testing the limits at the edge of self-destruction. Yet my heart could not bear to stop, nor was it willing to. I was the son of an elder of the Nalan Family, one of the Three Great Families of the Gamma Empire. I was also a transmigrator. Why... why couldn't I be the protagonist?

Even if it was only the protagonist of the Gamma Empire.

Xiao Yan could be the protagonist of the Dou Qi Continent, while I only wanted to remain in the small Gamma Empire and be a small-time protagonist!

How could such a humble and insignificant wish possibly fail to come true? It definitely could... it had to!

At that moment, a guard reported from outside the room that several local powerhouses from Green Mountain Town had arrived together to pay me a visit.

After thinking it over, I did not refuse. I left my room and met them in the inn's main hall.

There were seven or eight of them, men and women, young and old, with varying levels of strength. The moment they saw me, they crowded forward to greet me and introduce themselves.

I dealt with them perfunctorily. By the time everyone had taken their seats, I could not remember who was called what.

One man who seemed fairly respected among them spoke up and asked, "Young Master Nalan's arrival in Green Mountain Town truly brings glory to our humble town! Is there anything we can do to assist Young Master Nalan?"

This man had some wit. He did not ask what I had come for, but directly asked how they could help me. My interest was piqued, and after asking around, I learned that he was the manager of Ten Thousand Medicines Hall. His surname was Yao, and he was second in his family.

I gave him an interested glance, ignoring his flattered expression as I thought of Little Fairy Doctor. If I was not mistaken, Little Fairy Doctor was currently staying at Ten Thousand Medicines Hall?

After some thought, I said, "To read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles. I came to Green Mountain Town today because I wish to enter the Monster Mountain Range for some training. I truly will need to trouble you all with this matter."

The group immediately began arguing. The leaders of three mercenary groups competed to send their own mercenaries to escort me into the Monster Mountain Range, while the others fought to prepare weapons, supplies, rations, medicine, and more for me...

My head began to ache from listening to them, so I quickly signaled the Guard Captain. A pressure belonging to a Dou Master immediately spread through the hall, and the entire main hall fell silent.

I looked at them with satisfaction. After considering it, and in accordance with the principle of sharing the favor equally, I had each of the three mercenary groups provide five mercenaries. I had some fellow whose name I did not know prepare rations and tents, while Yao Er was tasked with preparing medicine.

At that point, I finally revealed my true intentions and asked, "Yao Er, I will need to bring an alchemist with me into the Monster Mountain Range. The best one available. Do you have any recommendations?"

Delight appeared on Yao Er's face as he replied ingratiatingly, "Young Master Nalan, this is not me boasting, but the best alchemist in all of Green Mountain Town is at our Ten Thousand Medicines Hall!"

After dismissing everyone, I revealed a satisfied smile. At last, I would get to meet Little Fairy Doctor. As long as I found the "Seven Coloured Poison Scripture" in the Monster Mountain Range, everything would be complete!

I returned to my room in high spirits and began cultivating... If I wanted to be the protagonist, I could not fall behind in cultivation!

Unfortunately, I could not compare to Xiao Yan, who was supposedly a Waste but actually possessed exceptional talent. My aptitude was utterly ordinary. At fifteen, my Dou Qi was only at the seventh stage... I had only broken through two days ago. Perhaps it was because my Dao heart had become unimpeded?

Wahahahaha!

The Monster Mountain Range was filled with danger. Entering the mountains was not some elementary school field trip. The next day, the Guard Captain remained busy with preparations while I continued cultivating.

It was not until the morning of the third day that I left my room in full battle attire, surrounded by guards. When I reached the inn entrance, I saw a group waiting outside. Yet my gaze did not linger on them for even a moment. At once, it fell upon a young girl.

A pale white dress, a willow-slender waist, a face bearing a serene smile, and a fresh, ethereal air... Though this was our first meeting, I knew that she had to be Little Fairy Doctor!

I did not go up to speak with her. Instead, I stood with one hand resting on my sword, cutting an imposing figure like a valiant young hero. Then, with a wave of my hand, I led everyone toward the Monster Mountain Range.

The Monster Mountain Range was fraught with danger. The moment we stepped into its outer region, I placed the fifteen mercenaries ahead of us and on our right and left flanks as cannon fodder. Meanwhile, the dozen or so guards from my household were positioned in the middle to protect me... and Little Fairy Doctor.

Holding the herb-gathering map I had obtained from Ten Thousand Medicines Hall, I examined our surroundings while asking Little Fairy Doctor about the map.

Very quickly, based on what Little Fairy Doctor told me, I deduced several locations, all places with cliffs. The "Seven Coloured Poison Scripture" was very likely in one of them.

I chose the closest location and headed there. We encountered several Magical Beast attacks along the way, but fortunately, no one died.

Once we arrived, I sent the mercenaries out to stand guard. Little Fairy Doctor tended to the wounded mercenaries, while I led the guards to the edge of the cliff.

I looked down at the cliff. It was not high, and I could clearly see the forest below. I was immediately discouraged. How could such a low cliff possibly hold any treasure?

I sent a guard down on a rope to take a look. Sure enough, there was no cave.

I sighed, feeling somewhat tired from walking, and told everyone to rest for a while. I also walked over and sat beside Little Fairy Doctor.

She turned to glance at me, then turned back. After a while, she looked at me again. Hesitating briefly, she asked curiously, "You... you're looking for something, aren't you?"

I secretly laughed. Women really were curious creatures. "I'm looking for treasure, but I don't know its exact location. I only know that it's on some cliff in this area."

I turned to Little Fairy Doctor and saw the unconcealed curiosity on her face. Laughing, I said, "I heard that you often gather herbs around here. Have you discovered anything?"

After a pause, I said sincerely, "Don't worry. As long as we find the treasure, I'll definitely give you a share."

Exploring and searching for treasure really was probably quite alluring. It was not for the treasure or money itself, but more for that incomparable sense of the unknown and excitement...

Little Fairy Doctor and I began an intense discussion over the herb-gathering map. Unfortunately, someone had not written down the location clearly. Otherwise, why would I need to make all these deductions? I could have simply gone and retrieved the "Seven Coloured Poison Scripture."

Still, discussing it with Little Fairy Doctor felt wonderful! Her voice was soft and pleasant to hear. Especially when we disagreed and she fixed those pure, large eyes on me, it made me feel wonderful all over.

Once we had finished resting, I led everyone onward again. At this pace, we could reach the next location before sunset that day...

Several days passed in succession. Little Fairy Doctor and I had searched over a dozen cliffs and found two caves, but we still had not located the Seven Coloured Poison Scripture. We had only dug up a pile of herbs.

Now, there was only the final cliff beneath my feet...
