The Xiao Yi Xian Who Saw Through Him

At this time, Xiao Yi Xian was still very young and innocent, even purer than when Xiao Yan had first met her.

Though young, her medical skills were already capable of bringing the dead back to life.

The moment he saw Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fengchen instinctively thought of the Body of Calamitous Poison.

It was a cheat-like constitution. Ordinary people relied on hard work and fortunate opportunities to grow stronger, while she only needed to consume poison to skyrocket in strength.

However, the poison body also had many drawbacks. Once it erupted, it would bring devastation to all living things. The people of an entire city might be buried alongside it.

Thus, describing the Body of Calamitous Poison as having the whole world as its enemy would not be an exaggeration.

Still, while the Body of Calamitous Poison was dangerous, it was nothing to Gu Fengchen, who possessed the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body. If handled properly, it could become an enormous source of support.

At this moment, although the mercenaries were injured, they were still shouting noisily. Stretching their necks and standing on tiptoe, they looked utterly ridiculous.

"You lot, lower your damn heads! You're blocking my view of Xiao Yi Xian!"

"Why should I? I'm just tall, so what?"

"Damn it, don't think I can't see you standing on tiptoe!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't cut in line! Get to the back!"

"Why should I line up? I'm not here to see a doctor. I just want to look at Sister Xiao Yi Xian!"

"Get lost! You have to line up even to look at Xiao Yi Xian. Go to the back!"

The crowd bickered loudly as they fought among themselves.

Some of them had lined up to buy medicine or seek treatment, while others simply wanted to admire Xiao Yi Xian's beauty.

Just like how many people went to the Mitel Auction House—were they really there for the auctions?

No, they were merely there to see Ya Fei.

Even Xiao Yan's father, Xiao Zhan, seemed to have a taste for younger women.

For these rough men, aside from hunting Magic Beasts, drinking, and boasting every day, their only pleasure was coming here to feast their eyes on Xiao Yi Xian.

"There really are a lot of people. As expected of Xiao Yi Xian." Gu Fengchen sighed, while inwardly cursing Xiao Yan as a bastard. Such a wonderful girl, yet he did not know how to cherish her.

"Take the medicine home and boil it into a decoction. Drink it three times a day, then come back in a week so I can examine your wound." Xiao Yi Xian smiled gently, her dark hair cascading down like a waterfall.

"Next."

Gu Fengchen did not disturb her. Instead, he quietly sat on a stone bench outside.

He had just taken a stroll through the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, but the Taotie Seal had shown no reaction whatsoever.

Naturally, Gu Fengchen could not tell whether Medicinal Herbs were precious. That was something he would need to learn gradually. However, he could use the Taotie Seal to make a rough judgment of whether an herb was valuable.

As long as the Taotie Seal gave him no feedback, it did not necessarily mean those herbs were worthless, but it certainly meant there were no top-grade herbs here.

Yet when Gu Fengchen approached Xiao Yi Xian, his left hand suddenly grew scorching hot.

This was a sign that the Taotie Seal had found "prey."

This was actually within Gu Fengchen's expectations.

Strictly speaking, although the Body of Calamitous Poison might not compare to Gu Xun'er's Divine Grade Bloodline, it was undoubtedly still one of the finest constitutions on the Dou Qi Continent.

Gu Fengchen recalled that he had been able to absorb part of the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame within Gu Xun'er's body through the Taotie Seal. If so, could he also absorb the Poison Dou Qi leaking from Xiao Yi Xian's Body of Calamitous Poison?

With the immunity to all poisons granted by the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body, Gu Fengchen had no fear of the Body of Calamitous Poison at all.

Moreover, after absorbing Gu Xun'er's Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, he could wield one percent of its power.

Then if he absorbed the Poison Dou Qi leaking from the Body of Calamitous Poison, could he do the same?

At that thought, a fiery glint flashed through Gu Fengchen's eyes.

In this world, Poison Masters were hated not only because of their vile character, but also because their bizarre Poison Dou Qi was exceptionally troublesome.

Gu Fengchen also had a suspicion. The reason the Body of Calamitous Poison was so terrifying was because its host could not suppress the toxins within their body, causing them to erupt in the end and become a disaster.

But if the Taotie Seal could absorb the excess toxins, would the negative debuff of the Body of Calamitous Poison cease to exist?

And could the toxins he absorbed be converted into his own Dou Qi through the Taotie Seal?

This might be a bug, one Gu Fengchen needed to investigate personally.

But he absolutely could not rush it.

The Taotie Seal had a prerequisite for absorbing a target: he had to make contact with them.

If he went up to her now, he would definitely be mistaken for a hooligan and leave Xiao Yi Xian with a bad impression.

The most important reason Gu Fengchen had chosen Qingshan Town as his first stop was Xiao Yi Xian's Body of Calamitous Poison.

Among Xiao Yan's women, aside from Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yi Xian was probably the most terrifying.

Simply from her identity as someone with the Body of Calamitous Poison, Gu Fengchen knew this girl was the most unstable factor.

After all, if someone with ill intentions learned of Xiao Yi Xian's constitution, they could easily create a Dou Zong-level expert.

She only needed to be fed poison to grow stronger. Compared to ordinary Dou Zong experts, the Body of Calamitous Poison was undoubtedly the easiest to cultivate.

And once the Body of Calamitous Poison erupted, it would cause an irreparable disaster.

Gu Fengchen was not worried that a disaster of that level would affect him. He simply felt that such a promising prospect had to be brought to his side. He could not let someone else benefit from her.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to make contact with this young girl of Qingshan Town first.

Finally, Xiao Yi Xian finished treating every patient. She lightly wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. Her faintly panting appearance, paired with that gentle and beautiful face, made people feel great tenderness toward her.

At this moment, a burly mercenary stepped forward. He had watched Gu Fengchen from the side for quite a while, and he immediately sneered. "Kid, you've been squatting here all this time? I advise you to give up. You think someone like you can win Xiao Yi Xian's heart? The Young Group Leader of our Wolf Head Mercenary Group has tried for so long without success. You should put that thought out of your mind."

Gu Fengchen glanced at the burly man and merely smiled without speaking.

At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian raised her eyes toward Gu Fengchen. He looked back at her. Though she was not breathtakingly beautiful, her gentle temperament was truly captivating.

"Hello, are you here to see me for treatment as well?" Xiao Yi Xian asked calmly.

Gu Fengchen shook his head. While he was not an incomparably handsome man, he was certainly a refined and handsome young gentleman.

Furthermore, after acquiring the Three Thousand Burning Flame Body, Gu Fengchen had gained a faintly sinister yet noble aura.

Gu Fengchen shook his head and took the initiative to start a conversation. "I just saw you treat a mercenary. He left without paying you. Do you want me to catch him and bring him back?"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled serenely. "Mercenaries often do not have cash on hand, so some pay with Medicinal Herbs, some with Magic Cores—anything will do. It does not really matter whether they pay or not. He did not bring money today, so I told him to come help me test medicine for free tomorrow."

Gu Fengchen nodded.

Xiao Yi Xian studied Gu Fengchen for a moment, then said in surprise, "You came to the Magic Beast Mountain Range alone at such a young age?"

Gu Fengchen thought for a moment, then leaned closer to her and teased, "I heard that Sister Xiao Yi Xian discovered a cave left behind by an expert at the bottom of a cliff somewhere in the mountain range, so I came to ask where exactly it is."

When Xiao Yi Xian saw Gu Fengchen's frivolous grin, she had instinctively assumed he was another spoiled young master who had come from who knew where to court her. Yet his next words caused her pupils to constrict sharply.

How did he know?

That was the first question that surfaced in Xiao Yi Xian's mind.

The second was that the smiling look in his eyes seemed as though he had seen straight through her.

Xiao Yi Xian instinctively covered her chest, a trace of blankness appearing on her delicate face.
