Reorganizing Sign-in Locations! Cultivating Together!

Ye Xiu carried Little Doctor Fairy as he flew for two days and two nights, until a city appeared in the distance.

Mocheng, we have arrived.

This place was on the edge of the Tagor Desert; heading any further west would lead into an endless expanse of yellow sand. The city walls were earth-yellow, blending into the surrounding environment and appearing quite dusty.

Ye Xiu landed outside of Mocheng and retracted his Dou Qi Wings.

Little Doctor Fairy climbed down from his arms, her feet touching the ground as she looked around. "Master, is this Mocheng?"

"Yes." Ye Xiu nodded. "Let's enter the city first, find a place to stay, and rest for two days."

"Yes, Master!" Little Doctor Fairy nodded.

The two of them walked toward the city.

Mocheng was much larger than Qingshan Town. There were many people on the streets, mostly mercenaries carrying weapons with skin tanned dark by the sun. There were also merchant caravans driving pack beasts, hauling goods into the city.

Ye Xiu took Little Doctor Fairy to an inn and requested two rooms.

Just as he set his things down, a long-lost voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Ding!"
"Check-in location refreshed: Tagor Desert, Snake-Person Race tribe."
"Please proceed to this location to check in and receive generous rewards."

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

The Snake-Person Race tribe.

This place was not easy to enter; it was the territory of Queen Medusa. However, since the system had spawned the location there, he would definitely have to make a trip.

He calculated that, based on the pattern of his previous check-ins, it should directly raise his cultivation by one major realm each time.

The first time was in Wutan City, where he received a bonus for his first check-in, raising him directly to a Nine-Star Da Dou Shi.

The second time was in Qingshan Town, where he went from a Three-Star Dou Ling to a Three-Star Dou Wang.

If this check-in was successful, he should reach the level of a Three-Star Dou Huang.

He was currently a Three-Star Dou Wang. If he could take one more step forward before the check-in to become a Four-Star Dou Wang, then after the check-in, he would be a Four-Star Dou Huang.

As a Four-Star Dou Huang, he could basically walk sideways through the Jia Ma Empire. Even if he faced Queen Medusa directly, he would have full confidence in being able to maneuver around her and escape calmly.

After all, once he became a Dou Huang, his Innate Medicine Body talent would instantly make him a Tier 6 Alchemist, giving him far more trump cards than he currently possessed.

Ye Xiu sat on the bed and began to plan.

Cultivation was not something that could be rushed through normal practice. Although he had an Innate Medicine Body and his cultivation speed was much faster than others, it would still take at least a month or two to go from a Three-Star Dou Wang to a Four-Star Dou Wang.

However, he had another method.

Cultivating with Little Doctor Fairy.

He had discovered last time in Qingshan Town that as long as the two of them were together, the Dou Qi within their bodies would automatically resonate. When Little Doctor Fairy cultivated, the Poison Dou Qi would be absorbed and converted by him, then fed back to her, benefiting them both.

The speed at which his Dou Qi circulated could increase by at least three times.

If they could do this a few more times, he might actually be able to break through before heading to the Snake-Person Race.

Just as he was thinking about this, there was a knock at the door.

"Master?" Little Doctor Fairy's voice came from outside. "May I come in?"

"Come in."

The door pushed open, and Little Doctor Fairy walked in, carrying a tray with a teapot and cups on it.

She placed the tray on the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it over. "Master, have some tea."

Ye Xiu took it and took a sip, noticing Little Doctor Fairy standing there, looking as if she had something to say but was hesitant.

"Is something the matter?" Ye Xiu asked.

Little Doctor Fairy nodded, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Master, I want... I want to cultivate with you."

Ye Xiu looked at her.

Little Doctor Fairy's face was a little red, but she didn't shy away, continuing, "Last time in Qingshan Town, when we cultivated together, I felt especially good. My cultivation speed was much faster, and the poison in my body stabilized as well."

She paused, her voice becoming even softer. "Master is going to the Snake-Person Race tribe, which must be very dangerous, right? You said there is a Heavenly Flame there, and it must be even harder to swallow it. I was thinking, if I could help Master break through faster, you would have more certainty..."

Ye Xiu listened without saying a word.

This little girl was quite thoughtful for his sake.

He set down his teacup and patted the side of the bed. "Then as you wish, come over."

Little Doctor Fairy's face turned even redder. She lowered her head, walked over, and sat obediently on the edge of the bed.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other, their knees almost touching.

Ye Xiu reached out and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"Let's begin. Just focus on circulating your cultivation technique, and leave the rest to me."

"Yes, Master." Little Doctor Fairy took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to circulate the technique from the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.

Soon, a wisp of pale gray Poison Dou Qi emerged from her body.

The Dou Qi within Ye Xiu reacted instantly, like a starving wolf catching the scent of meat, and surged forward to meet it.

The two streams of Dou Qi collided and began to entwine.

The gray Poison Dou Qi flowed along Ye Xiu's arm into his body, while his purple-gold Dou Qi rose to meet it, wrapping around the poison and circulating it through his meridians.

The violent, harmful elements within the poison were refined by his Dou Qi, and the remaining pure energy was fed back into the body of Little Doctor Fairy through their point of contact.

At the same time, the circulation speed of Ye Xiu's own Dou Qi began to soar.

One cycle, two cycles, three cycles...

It was more than three times faster than usual.

Little Doctor Fairy kept her eyes closed, her face growing redder and redder.

It wasn't the red of shyness, but a genuine flush.

Ye Xiu's Dou Qi was too powerful; as a Three-Star Dou Wang, he was on an entirely different level from her, a mere beginner Dou Zhe. As that purple-gold Dou Qi circulated through her body, it carried a scorching heat that left her limbs feeling weak.

"Master..." she couldn't help but let out a soft moan.

Ye Xiu opened his eyes to look at her.

Little Doctor Fairy's eyelashes trembled as she bit her lip, the flush on her face spreading all the way to the base of her neck. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her skin, soaking her clothes and causing them to cling to her, outlining her slender waist.

"Are you alright? Should I pull back my energy a little?" Ye Xiu asked.

Little Doctor Fairy shook her head, her voice faint: "No, I'm fine..."

Ye Xiu did not stop circulating his Dou Qi, but he slowed the speed, making the flow of energy gentler.

Time passed bit by bit.

The room was very quiet, with only the sound of their light breathing.

Outside the window, the sun slowly dipped toward the west, the light shifting from bright to amber, and finally turning completely dark.

Ye Xiu didn't know how much time had passed, only that the circulation of his Dou Qi felt increasingly smooth. The purple-gold energy was more solid than before, faintly tinged with a dark red hue.

The bottleneck of the Three-Star Dou Wang seemed to have loosened slightly.

He completed a few more cycles before slowly withdrawing his hand.

Little Doctor Fairy opened her eyes.

She was as limp as water, leaning against the bedpost and gasping for air. The flush on her face had yet to fade, and her eyes were watery as she looked at Ye Xiu.

"Master..." her voice was incredibly weak, "I..."

Ye Xiu looked at her state and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Are you still holding up?"

Little Doctor Fairy nodded, then shook her head, unable to speak.

Ye Xiu reached out to help her sit upright: "Lie down for a while; I'll go get something to eat."
