"All done!"
Xiao Yi Xian finished bandaging the uncle's wound, then accepted a tissue from her assistant, Lifi, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Xiao Yi Xian is amazing!"
"Exactly, exactly..."
"I want to be tortured too... No, no, I mean treated gently!"
"You?"
Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly as she watched the people around her cheerfully joke and play. She now somewhat understood why the original owner had liked being a healer, and why she had desired even more to become an alchemist.
The feeling of saving lives really was quite nice...
She glanced at the transparent counter and seemed to notice something. Xiao Yi Xian's eyes fixed tightly on a pale yellow lump in the farthest corner.
If she was not mistaken, the item before her was definitely the priceless Blood Lotus Essence.
Xiao Yi Xian smiled at the shop clerk beside her and pointed at the Blood Lotus Essence. "Please get me that Yellow Lotus Essence."
"Of course!"
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian greet him, the clerk beamed and hurried over to fetch the Yellow Lotus Essence she wanted.
Xiao Yi Xian carefully examined the Yellow Lotus Essence before her. Her small fingernail quietly scratched its surface, peeling back a little of the yellowed exterior and revealing a spot of crimson red, like fresh blood.
Looking at the Blood Lotus Essence before her, Xiao Yi Xian smiled. "I'll take this Yellow Lotus Essence."
Everyone laughed when they saw Xiao Yi Xian carefully put away the Yellow Lotus Essence.
Who in all of Green Mountain Town did not know that Xiao Yi Xian loved medicinal herbs as dearly as treasure? Today, they had truly witnessed it.
Xiao Yi Xian took out some gold coins and handed them to the clerk. With a faint smile, she slowly departed beneath everyone's reluctant gazes.
The clerk sniffed the bag holding the gold coins, unwilling to part with the faint medicinal fragrance lingering on it.
"Hey, give me those hundred gold coins. I'll pay two hundred!"
"Poor bastard, I'll pay three hundred~"
"I'll pay five hundred~"
The crowd stared greedily at the money bag in the clerk's hand like wolves and tigers.
"Uh!"
The clerk looked at the people around him, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and smiled awkwardly.
"I'll pay a thousand. Give me the bag!" A figure appeared outside the crowd and declared arrogantly.
A larger money bag appeared from nowhere and struck the clerk on the head.
"Crack!"
The money bag fell to the ground with a pleasant clinking sound. Just from the sound alone, one could tell there was plenty of money inside.
"Who was that?"
A bump gradually rose on the young clerk's forehead. Pale green Dou Qi gathered in his hand as though he were ready to kill someone to vent his anger.
Seeing the clerk in a rage, everyone shut their mouths. After all, who would dare offend a pharmacy clerk?
They were merely ordinary mercenary groups and usually could not do without coming here for treatment or to buy and sell medicinal herbs.
"Heh, it was me!"
A voice came from behind the crowd. Everyone quickly moved aside, opening a path.
The clerk had originally intended to teach the man a harsh lesson, but the moment he saw who it was, he forced a smile and hurried over to offer the money bag. "So it's the Young Leader. Please, take it!"
"Hmph!"
Mu Li snatched the money bag, held it beneath his nose and inhaled its scent, then swung the sweet-smelling bag as he swaggered toward the Monster Beast Mountain Range with his fierce-looking brothers behind him.
No one dared say a word. The Young Leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was not someone easy to provoke. Only after Mu Li had gone far away did they dare complain.
"Heh, isn't he just relying on his father being one of the strongest people around here? What's he so smug about?"
"Exactly~"
The clerk paid no attention to the surrounding chatter. Seeing that Mu Li had not made trouble for him, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sighed in relief, picked up the money bag, and hurried toward the back room.
Meanwhile, after returning to her room, Xiao Yi Xian elegantly ate the meal prepared by her assistant, Lifi. She merely glanced at Lifi as she left and did not pay much attention to her.
To hell with everything else—she was hungry:
"Food is the first necessity of the people!"
Food in another world really was good, especially the monster beast meat before her. It was wonderfully chewy.
After carefully checking that no one else was watching her, she felt relieved. She took small bites of the delicious food from this other world. The flavor on her tongue was truly the best she had tasted in either her past or present life.
That extraordinary texture, even the delicate fragrance of the medicinal tea, wrapped around her senses.
The original owner had eaten well and slept well here. It truly made her jealous, envious, and resentful. But why had she not grown at all?
Looking down at herself, Xiao Yi Xian felt a little awkward. Fortunately, she saw herself every day, so she did not care too much about her size.
Besides being watched, everything here was good. There were the two guards in the courtyard outside the door, servants occasionally passing by...
The original owner had not even discovered for years that her closest assistant, Lifi, had been bribed by someone else.
She still remembered that in the original story, Xiao Yi Xian had been sold out by someone close to her. Otherwise, Mu Li would never have discovered her.
The original owner had not noticed anything wrong with Lifi for so many years and had always treated her like a good friend.
"Sigh!"
Resting her chin on her hand, she tilted her head and looked around her room. At this moment, she did not even know what she should do.
She had a feeling that if she wanted to break through to become a Dou Zhe, Poisonous Gas would erupt once. A faint Seven-Colored Poison Line had even appeared on her lower abdomen, though it was not particularly obvious.
Her foremost goal now was the cave. After that, she needed to find a place to break through to Dou Zhe and endure the Poisonous Gas devouring her body. Otherwise, if she broke through here, Green Mountain Town might end up like that little valley in her memories.
The gold coins in that cave alone exceeded all her possessions, while the medicinal herbs and Dou skills were also what she needed most at present.
However, if she wanted to take away all the treasures in that cave, she would need a storage ring—the legendary Storage Ring.
Xiao Yi Xian extended her slender finger. A wisp of purple Dou Qi circled her fingertip, and this powerful force filled her with curiosity.
On Earth in her previous life, there had been no such thing as Dou Qi. There had only been spiritual energy from Eastern myths and magic from Western myths.
In her view, whether Poison Dou Qi or anything else, it was merely one kind of energy existing between heaven and earth.
Did everyone who cultivated Poison Dou Qi have to be deranged murderers?
Did everyone who did not cultivate Poison Dou Qi have to be good people?
What utter nonsense!
Was the path of the strong not paved with mountains of corpses and seas of blood?
For example, the Ruthless Empress she admired most. In the future, she would become someone like an empress as well.
This world was called the Dou Qi Continent. From Dou Zhe to Dou Sheng was the highest realm currently known.
But beyond Dou Sheng lay the legendary Emperor Realm. To become an emperor, one needed Origin Qi, yet Origin Qi had been cut off ten thousand years ago. In the original story, there were two methods of breaking through to Dou Di.
One was to become an emperor using the Ancient Emperor Pill, while the other was to become an emperor through the Heavenly Flame.
As long as the Calamity Poison Body had poison, it could level up endlessly. If she devoured enough poison, could she break through to become an emperor without Origin Qi?
At that thought, she became incredibly excited. Who knew what blessings she had accumulated in her previous life to get the chance to come to another world?
As a transmigrator in another world, how could she not climb to the mountaintop and see what the scenery at the peak looked like?
"But how am I supposed to get a Storage Ring?"
Xiao Yi Xian lay gloomily across the dining table. Her long purple hair quietly slipped from her shoulders, revealing her delicate little ears.
