Xiao Yan Arrives, Nine Yang Divine Physique!

Qingshan Town, an ordinary town outside the Monster Mountain Range.

After leaving Wutan City, this became Chen Yang's first stop.

Actually, given Xiao Yan's current cultivation progress, he could have gone straight to the Tagor Desert to search for the Green Lotus Core Flame. However, according to what Xiao Yan had told him, Medicine Elder said that although Xiao Yan possessed formidable strength, his combat experience was practically nonexistent. Thus, this training trip through the Monster Mountain Range was essential.

Moreover, Chen Yang reckoned that Medicine Elder would also teach Xiao Yan his first Earth-tier Dou Skill—the Flame Splitting Wave Ruler—within the Monster Mountain Range.

Based on Xiao Yan's current progress, Chen Yang estimated that he would arrive in another five, six, seven, or eight days.

Of course, Chen Yang did not care when Xiao Yan would reach Qingshan Town. His main reason for coming here was Xiao Yi Xian.

As one of the rare characters in web novel history who never had a name and went by a nickname from beginning to end, whose popularity rivaled that of a female lead and who had nearly become one herself, Xiao Yi Xian was undoubtedly a girl blessed with both talent and beauty.

Judging from her childhood experiences, perhaps even Xiao Yi Xian herself did not wish to mention her name again?

The Calamity Poison Body had brought her suffering during the first half of her life, and for the latter half...

"I say, kid, do you not want your fucking eyes anymore? You've been staring at Xiao Yi Xian for half the day. Is Xiao Yi Xian someone you can keep looking at like that?" A burly Big Man with the Wolf Head Mercenary Group emblem on his chest glared at Chen Yang and barked harshly.

"Get lost!" Chen Yang shot him a glare, releasing a trace of Da Dou Shi-level aura. The mercenary was instantly stunned rigid.

"Gulp... A... a Da Dou Shi?" The surrounding people swallowed hard, staring at Chen Yang in shock.

Such a young Da Dou Shi—could he be a Genius from the Misty Cloud Sect?

"Y-yes... yes, Senior! I... I'll take him and get lost right away, get lost!"

Another mercenary at the Six-Star Dou Practitioner level hurried forward, dragged the man away, and directly rolled out across the ground with him.

The others also quickly withdrew from the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, not daring to take another step inside.

Behind the counter, Xiao Yi Xian quietly slipped her little hand over the poison in her small pouch, watching Chen Yang with wary eyes.

A Da Dou Shi... she did not know whether the poison she had prepared would work on him.

"Your name is Xiao Yi Xian?"

Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian and asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Xiao Yi Xian Nodded.

"Did you prepare all these Healing Medicines?"

Chen Yang pointed at the Medicine Bottles on the counter marked as Healing Medicine and asked.

"Mm!"

Xiao Yi Xian fell silent for two and a half seconds before Nodding.

Whoosh!

With a wave of Chen Yang's hand, Dou Qi drew one of the bottles into his palm.

He opened it, raised it to his nose, and took a gentle sniff.

"Not bad. As a physician who knows nothing about alchemy, you can make Healing Medicine of this grade purely by relying on the properties of Medicinal Materials. You are quite gifted!"

Chen Yang was not merely flattering Xiao Yi Xian. This girl truly had some skill.

Otherwise, the Myriad Medicine Pavilion could not possibly have stayed in business in Qingshan Town.

"Thank you for the compliment. Are you... also a physician?"

Xiao Yi Xian did not dare consider that he might be an Alchemist. After all, the Young Man before her looked only eighteen or nineteen, about the same age as herself. If he was already a Da Dou Shi at such an age and also an Alchemist, would that leave anyone else any chance to live?

"Shall we... talk in the backyard?"

Chen Yang pointed toward the backyard of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion and smiled at Xiao Yi Xian.

"All right!"

Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for several seconds again before Nodding.

The strongest person in all of Qingshan Town was only a Dou Shi. Even if she had some methods involving poison, before a Da Dou Shi...

As Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian headed to the backyard, the mercenaries at the entrance immediately began discussing among themselves.

Those with sharp eyes swiftly ran back to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group to report the matter. After all, Xiao Yi Xian was the woman their young group leader had taken a fancy to. Now that a Da Dou Shi had set his sights on her, they had to report it no matter what.

After entering the backyard, Xiao Yi Xian greeted the owner of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, then the two of them went to her room.

"I am an Alchemist!"

As Chen Yang spoke, he raised a hand and condensed a ball of Real Flame.

The ability to condense Real Flame was the mark of a Fourth-grade Alchemist.

Xiao Yi Xian did not understand the marks of an Alchemist, but when she saw Chen Yang summon flames, she was immediately startled. An Alchemist had actually come to Qingshan Town?

"You... why did you come to Qingshan Town?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang cautiously.

"I came to find a Senior from my sect who passed away in the Monster Mountain Range." Chen Yang leaned back On the Chair, crossed one leg over the other, and spoke to Xiao Yi Xian.

"I am only an ordinary physician. I rarely ever leave home. You should go to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group instead. They often venture into the Monster Mountain Range and should know quite a lot!"

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, her clever mind instantly coming up with a response.

"Miss, do not play clever. Could it be that someone from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has taken a fancy to you, and you want me to help solve that trouble?" Chen Yang shook his head as he spoke to Xiao Yi Xian.

"H-how could that be? I was merely providing you with information!" Xiao Yi Xian stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Then tell me, since I clearly know that the Wolf Head Mercenary Group has the widest sources of information in Qingshan Town, why would I seek you out instead?" Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian's face and asked teasingly.

"This..." Xiao Yi Xian froze at once.

"To tell you the truth, I sensed a faint trace of my sect Senior's aura on you. I imagine that you have recently visited some strange places—an unusual forest, a peculiar cliff, a mysterious cave, and so on..." Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian, directly targeting the hidden cave she had discovered.

The things in that cave were not important to Chen Yang. He merely needed an excuse to get in contact with Xiao Yi Xian. Those items could be sold for money afterward or used by his own people for cultivation. That Flying Dou Technique might even trigger the System Mechanism.

"So that's how it is!"

Xiao Yi Xian immediately came to a realization upon hearing this.

She had been wondering how an ordinary girl who was not even a Dou Zhe could possibly attract the attention of a Genius who was both a Da Dou Shi and an Alchemist. So it was because of the cave she had discovered by accident.

"As long as you lead me to that cave, everything except items involving my sect's Inheritance will be yours!" As Chen Yang said this, Xiao Yi Xian relaxed again.

She had worked so hard to discover that opportunity, and she was unwilling to simply let someone take it away, even if the items had originally belonged to his sect.

"Then, should I take you there now?" Xiao Yi Xian asked tentatively.

"No rush. I will stay in Qingshan Town for the next few days and help you deal with a few troubles. Consider it my repayment for finding clues about my sect Senior through you!"

Chen Yang was talking complete nonsense. His first reason for remaining in Qingshan Town was to wait for Xiao Yan's arrival, while his second was to spend more time with Xiao Yi Xian.

Only by having more contact and more physical brushes between them could sparks of love fly.

He believed his looks were no worse than anyone else's. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take the campus beauty senior out cycling as soon as he entered university.

Since the looks were there, all that remained was to take things slowly.

"Then thank you, Master!"

"By the way, I have not asked yet. What is your name, Master?"

Xiao Yi Xian bowed to Chen Yang, the corners of her lips curving into a faint smile as she asked softly.

"Chen Yang!"

Over the next few days, Chen Yang stayed at the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group did not come looking for trouble directly. Mu She was not an idiot; if he could make a name for himself in a place like Qingshan Town, he naturally knew that a Da Dou Shi was not someone he could afford to offend.

Fortunately, that Da Dou Shi had only sent word for them to stop harassing Xiao Yi Xian, and Mu She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Other than that, Chen Yang also dealt with the owner of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion. That fellow had harbored ill intentions in the Original Work and was one of Xiao Yi Xian's enemies. Casually disposing of trash who was not even a Dou Shi was effortless for Chen Yang.

Time passed quickly, and another five days went by in the blink of an eye.

That day, Chen Yang was lying On the Chair in the courtyard with his eyes closed, resting his mind, when the System Prompt suddenly rang out in his head:

[Ding!]

[It has been detected that the person with the strongest physique in Qingshan Town is Xiao Yi Xian. Her physique is the Calamity Poison Body. The host has obtained the physique—Nine Yang Divine Physique!]

"Huh?"

"Xiao Yan is here?"
