"Where is that traitorous disciple of mine now?" Medicine Elder calmly asked Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian thought for a moment before replying, "In the Black Corner Region. He's a Dou Emperor and a Sixth-grade Alchemist, known as the Medicine Emperor!"
"Heh heh!"
Medicine Elder sneered. Back then, he had been capable of devouring his master, yet now he was living like a dog. What a disgrace to the disciple of the continent's number one Medicine Master.
"Then I understand!" Medicine Elder nodded, using his soul power to control the Storage Ring as it flew toward Xiao Yan's room.
Although he could not bear to see Xiao Yi Xian leave and was deeply worried for her, without going out to gain experience, she would never become strong.
The path of the strong was one of seizing opportunities, fighting for fortune, and struggling for every chance to advance. He only hoped that when they met again... she would be safe and well.
Xiao Yi Xian watched Medicine Elder's departing figure and smiled faintly. The real adventure had only just begun. Tomorrow would be a new day.
Another peaceful day.
"Ying ying!"
Little Spirit awoke from her transformation, her snow-white eyes radiating strands of intense icy coldness.
"Sister!"
Little Spirit hugged Xiao Yi Xian and gently rubbed against her. She had grown stronger now and could fight alongside her sister.
"Mm!"
Xiao Yi Xian stroked Little Spirit's head and said with a smile, "We should set off soon. We're making a trip to the Monster Beast Mountain Range!"
Little Spirit nodded and lightly touched Xiao Yi Xian's hand with her forehead. A strange power emerged from the back of Xiao Yi Xian's hand.
Little Spirit looked at the mark on Xiao Yi Xian's hand and smiled. "I made a contract with you, Sister. This way, we can sense each other's presence, and I can enter the mark too."
Xiao Yi Xian was rather surprised upon hearing this. The world truly was full of wonders. She could sense a space inside the mark, along with a trace of Little Spirit's soul aura within it.
And she could carry her around at all times now. It was practically like having a pet Elf.
Xiao Yi Xian glanced at the Fourth-grade Alchemist still waiting outside and casually told him the location of the small valley, telling him to return and pack his belongings before coming to find her there.
Liu Yan nodded and immediately went back to prepare his belongings. After all, who took all their possessions with them when they went out?
Not long after Liu Yan left, Xiao Yi Xian held Little Spirit as the Sword Box on her back trembled. You Su shot from its sheath in an instant, its edge scraping past the Sword Box as the longsword hummed softly, its sound lingering around her ears.
Xiao Yi Xian leaped into the air. With a cry of the sword, You Su appeared beneath her feet, and she departed on her sword like an immortal swordswoman.
"Xiao Yi Xian has left. Why didn't you go say goodbye just now?" Medicine Elder emerged from a corner with Xiao Yan at this moment.
Xiao Yan looked through the window at a scroll inside the room. A sudden suction force swept from his hand, and the scroll instantly flew into his grasp.
Looking at the three words "Imperial Sword Technique" carved on the scroll, he knew that he was not yet qualified to go adventuring with his fellow townsman.
"Medicine Elder, I want to become stronger!"
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with determination, and his desire to grow stronger burned ceaselessly within his heart.
"Oh? The process will be very difficult," Medicine Elder said with a faint smile as he looked at the hot-blooded young Xiao Yan.
After that, just like in the original story, Xiao Yan and Medicine Elder embarked on that familiar path.
At this moment, Ling Ying knelt before Xiao Xun'er and said calmly, "Miss, Xiao Yi Xian has already left. Should I..."
As he spoke, Ling Ying drew his dark hand across his throat. After all, Miss had often been angered over Xiao Yi Xian recently.
As her servant, he wanted to make her happier...
Xiao Xun'er closed her book. A pale golden flame flashed through her eyes as she gazed at the clear blue sky and said indifferently, "No need. She can't defeat me."
Ling Ying was stunned by those words, then silently withdrew.
As someone with the God-grade Dou Di Bloodline, Xiao Xun'er's future path was bound to stretch very far. In the original story, her cultivation had even surpassed Xiao Yi Xian's by a huge margin.
The Dou Di Bloodline might have been little different from ordinary people in the early stages, but later on, its terrifying power would reveal itself.
If Xiao Yan had not been the protagonist, then Xiao Xun'er would definitely have been the protagonist instead. Becoming an emperor and ruling the world would have been no problem for her.
Yet such a fine cabbage had ultimately been rooted up by a pig—and right under the nose of Ling Ying, a Dou Emperor. The future of the Ancient Clan had been protected by only a Dou Emperor.
Seriously... 666.
Xiao Yi Xian flew through the air on her sword with Little Spirit in her arms, the scenery beneath them constantly changing.
The Imperial Sword Technique was a mid-tier Xuan-class Fighting Skill and one of the inheritances. After all, if a sword cultivator could not ride a sword, then they were no sword cultivator at all.
Without the Imperial Sword Technique, she might have had to cultivate that Flight Fighting Skill. But no matter what, she still needed to cultivate it.
After all, wings were still very useful. On this trip, she planned to return to her small valley and cultivate properly, while also mastering the Purple Cloud Wings.
When the time came, she had to save a foolishly sweet woman. That's right—the Dou Emperor, Yun Yun!
Clearly, the two of them had feelings for each other, yet in the end they could only look on from afar, each becoming the other's confidante in their hearts.
Because of the changes she had made, Xiao Yan might even arrive later than usual. She was determined to save Yun Yun.
As someone who refused to accept the future, how could she watch someone fall into a villain's hands?
Yun Yun, the current Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, was a three-star Dou Emperor and one of the Jia Ma Empire's ten strongest experts.
Yun Yun was the ninth-generation Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. She encountered Xiao Yan in the Monster Beast Mountain Range and developed feelings for him, even giving him her personal inner armor, which saved him from danger twice.
Later, because her master Yun Shan captured Xiao Zhan under the orders of the Soul Hall, Yun Yun's path of love with Xiao Yan became increasingly difficult.
In the end, the Misty Cloud Sect was even disbanded, and Yun Yun wandered the world. Only through good fortune did she eventually become the Sect Leader of the Flower Sect.
Xiao Yi Xian did not approve of such a tragic ending, nor would she allow Yun Yun to fall in love with Xiao Yan. She would leave the matter of saving her to herself.
They were both women anyway...
"Heh heh!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yi Xian could not help but... She was even so distracted while riding her sword that she nearly fell.
A strange expression appeared in Little Spirit's adorable eyes as she looked at Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian gathered her thoughts and continued riding her sword somewhat awkwardly. The feeling of soaring through the sky truly captivated her.
"Riding the wind upon a sword, free and unrestrained between heaven and earth!"
After Xiao Yi Xian casually spoke that classic phrase from the future, a trace of admiration flashed through Little Spirit's eyes as she looked at her.
Riding a sword was undeniably cool, but it consumed Dou Qi far too quickly. She had to stop and rest three times before finally reaching the small valley.
Looking at her small valley, Xiao Yi Xian felt as though she had returned home. She even heard that familiar cry.
"Chirp chirp!"
Xiao Lan had grown a full circle larger and had clearly become a Second-Rank Magical Beast. Seeing Xiao Yi Xian return, it was extremely happy.
Xiao Yi Xian stroked Xiao Lan's feathers and said, "Xiao Lan, this is Little Spirit. From now on, we'll all live in the valley together."
Xiao Lan affectionately rubbed against Little Spirit as well. The faint aura around her made it like her very much.
Little Spirit curiously touched Xiao Lan too. Its soft feathers made her eyes curve into crescents.
Xiao Yi Xian was very happy to see this. At least for now, the two of them were the people closest to her.
