The silver moon still hung high in the night sky. Inside the City Lord's Mansion, everything was as usual, with no one suspecting that their master had already left them.

Little Doctor Immortal and Medicine Elder were frantically ransacking the City Lord's treasure vault...

"Stinky girl, give me these medicinal ingredients for restoring the soul..."

"Stinky girl, I think this thing looks good..."

"Stinky girl, give me more, be considerate of old people..."

Little Doctor Immortal glanced at the unreliable Medicine Elder. This thing had lived for who knows how long and was still competing with her.

Medicine Elder paid no mind to Little Doctor Immortal's gaze. He stared intently at the alchemy furnace in front of him, still covered in dust, his eyes radiating a fiery glow.

Little Doctor Immortal disdainfully looked at Medicine Elder, Shameless old man...

After basically finishing the ransacking, Little Doctor Immortal and Medicine Elder stood before the alchemy furnace, which looked like it had been unearthed not long ago.

Little Doctor Immortal could clearly sense the growing craving within her body. There was definitely something she wanted in this alchemy furnace.

Medicine Elder, a soul body, was frantically rubbing his face against the alchemy furnace, more intimately than if he were seeing a beautiful woman...

"I say, Medicine Elder, what are you doing?" Little Doctor Immortal, wearing a worn bronze mask, looked at Medicine Elder with her bright, spirited eyes filled with disgust.

"Cough cough!"

Seeing Little Doctor Immortal's disdainful look, Medicine Elder instantly restrained himself, tucking his hands into his robes, adopting an air of immortal grace.

"Cough cough, this alchemy furnace looks to be of very good quality. I wonder if it's one of the alchemy furnaces on the list..."

Medicine Elder stood before the alchemy furnace, speaking with an air of seniority, but his fiery gaze could not escape Little Doctor Immortal's notice.

That familiar gaze seemed to remind her of the wolves watching beautiful women by the sea in her past life.

Hearing this, Little Doctor Immortal understood why Medicine Elder had lost his composure. Alchemy furnaces and exotic fires were the greatest loves of an alchemist.

To an alchemist, an alchemy furnace or an exotic fire of heaven and earth was comparable to a woman; without them, alchemists seemed to lack a soul.

And once they had them, not only could they refine high-level pills, but they could also easily remove impurities and prevent themselves from being killed by exploding cauldrons due to failed alchemy.

"Cough cough, girl, there's a jade bottle inside that's been here for who knows how long. The pill inside is for you, and I want this alchemy furnace!"

Medicine Elder unceremoniously took the alchemy furnace and hid it in his storage ring, giving Little Doctor Immortal no chance to reply.

Little Doctor Immortal looked at what had just happened before her. In an instant, she profoundly understood what it meant to be a shameless old man.

Little Doctor Immortal opened the jade bottle. Inside was a purple pill. Just a wisp of its medicinal fragrance made her blood and qi surge.

This pill had existed for who knows how long. Its medicinal properties had long since disappeared, leaving only pill poison.

And this pill poison was definitely a great tonic for her. It was impossible to eat it all at once; she would eat one-third first and see.

Moreover, the previous alchemy furnace also seemed to be old and broken. She didn't know where this City Lord had gotten it from, but judging by Medicine Elder's reaction, it seemed to be quite good.

Truly, regarding this world, she still understood nothing. The trajectory in novels was merely based on the protagonist's path.

This world was vast, far exceeding her previous life's Earth. She had always underestimated this world.

She should indeed restrain herself. She only knew some future events, but that was just a little...

"Huh?"

Although Medicine Elder was somewhat curious about Little Doctor Immortal's change in demeanor, the alchemy furnace before him attracted him even more. He wished he could kiss it...

Before leaving, he glanced at the treasure vault to ensure there were no hidden compartments or other treasures, and then left with peace of mind.

He believed that the news of the City Lord's death would not spread tomorrow. The City Lord's Mansion had existed for an unknown number of years, and no information had ever been leaked.

She didn't know why, but it had nothing to do with her. She took what she needed and left.

She would not forget the great kindness of the City Lord's Mansion, nor would she feel guilty for killing people for no reason.

Don't ask why; just ask because it's for herself...

If a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them!

If it were the original Little Doctor Immortal, she might not have done this, but she was ultimately not the original her.

Resources in the path of cultivation were inherently limited. Her most admired idol was someone who killed across the nine heavens and ten earths, devoured myriad physiques, and lived on for generation after generation for the sake of their inner obsession.

Her most important task now was to become stronger, then help Xiao Yan obtain the three exotic fires, and then acquire those three medicinal ingredients to control the Calamity Poison Body.

Until the Calamity Poison Body was mastered, she would not have peace of mind. It was a ticking time bomb that could erupt at any moment.

Although an eruption might not kill her, the surrounding area would definitely be devastated, and there might even be powerful individuals who would eliminate her for the sake of the people.

The seven-colored poison lines in her lower abdomen had only just appeared. It was still a long way to her heart, so she still had plenty of time.

"En?"

Little Doctor Immortal, riding her sword in the air, saw a familiar figure. White robes, a long beard, and the insignia on his chest – wasn't that the Seven-Star Great Dou Master from a few days ago?

Seeing how rushed he looked, could it be that he discovered his grandson was missing?

As for whether he would discover Liu Xi's corpse, she wasn't worried about that.

Could a person killed by Fighting Energy with the Poison Sword attribute remain intact?

It would rot into dregs in about three hours. It would be a miracle if anyone could recognize it. As for Xiao Mei, she wasn't a saint. Saving her life was already good enough.

She didn't believe Xiao Mei could recognize her, especially since she was wearing a mask, was quite far away, and they hadn't met much.

"Bang!"

"Xiao Yan, I've brought your master back..."

Little Doctor Immortal kicked open Xiao Yan's door as usual, and the scene before her was the same as before.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Yan's cultivation was interrupted, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Little Doctor Immortal innocently, wanting to know why people kept bothering him today.

Little Doctor Immortal felt a little embarrassed. She tossed a Storage Ring to Xiao Yan and closed the door, leaving.

As for Xiao Yan's body?

Sorry, she wasn't interested at all. If it were a woman, she might have pounced on her and they could have bathed together.

She put away her cloak and her favorite mask and walked step by step towards the back mountain.

Under the silver moonlight, her figure was stretched infinitely, and the stars twinkled ceaselessly.

Gusts of wind blew her long purple hair, and the surrounding bamboo forest rustled. Leaves of bamboo flew past her.

The water's surface rippled with the falling leaves...

Looking at the face on the water, which was both familiar and strange, she even felt like it had all been a dream.

Her hair was messy around her forehead, and she seemed not to have bathed for several days.

"The weather today is exceptionally beautiful, want to take a bath together?" Little Doctor Immortal said with a smile to the nearby bamboo forest.

A graceful figure stood in the bamboo forest, leaning lazily against a bamboo stalk. A pair of eyes, glinting with faint golden flames, stared intently at Little Doctor Immortal on the stone bridge.
