Departure! Preparing to Head to the Chu Yun Empire!

A few days later.

Xiao Yuan broke through.

Above the sky, a massive vortex of energy slowly gathered and rotated, frantically drawing in the heaven and earth energy collected within the valley.

A moment later, the vortex abruptly ceased its rotation.

Immediately, the majestic energy poured down like a torrential rain, finally transforming into two massive torrents of energy that surged downward, crashing directly onto Xiao Yuan, who sat cross-legged within the Spirit Gathering Array.

The immense energy continuously scoured his body.

The dissipated energy seemed to be guided, transforming once more into an inverted vortex, which Xiao Yuan absorbed into his body.

It was as if a cycle between the above and the below, the heaven and the earth, had been formed.

Inside the wooden house, Little Doctor Fairy, witnessing this scene with her own eyes, could not help but clench her hands, her heart and eyes filled with worry.

As for shock?

In the time they had spent together, the miracles Xiao Yuan had brought to Little Doctor Fairy were already too many to count.

For instance, the Spirit Gathering Array, the Marrow Cleansing Powder that improved physique and talent, or even things like Heavenly Flames.

Her worldview had been completely reshaped.

Therefore, no matter what she saw now, Little Doctor Fairy would no longer feel surprised.

Subconsciously, she already believed that Xiao Yuan must have come from some extremely, extremely powerful clan.

A moment later, the energy vortex hovering in mid-air had completely dissipated.

The violently fluctuating heaven and earth energy in the valley also gradually returned to normal.

Xiao Yuan, sitting cross-legged in the clearing of the valley, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. His tightly closed eyes snapped open, and a flicker of emerald green flame danced in his pupils for a few moments before mischievously vanishing without a trace.

At the same time, a pair of massive, emerald-green flame wings unfurled from his back.

"Not bad, finally broke through to Dou Huang!"

Feeling the qualitative change within his body, the round Dou Crystal had completely vanished, leaving only majestic Dou Qi filling his entire body.

Only then did Xiao Yuan reveal a satisfied smile.

In just over three months, leaping from a Three-Star Dou Ling to a One-Star Dou Huang, he finally had the confidence to say to others—

"I, Xiao, have walked on thin ice my entire life; being able to become a One-Star Dou Huang is entirely due to my own hard work!

System, add points!"

This was the cultivation speed a transmigrator should have.

And that was not all.

Although he had only just stepped into the Dou Huang realm, the Dou Qi within his body was not inferior to that of a Three-Star.

Coupled with the fact that the final move of the Taixu Sword Qi, Taixu Sword God, had been unlocked.

Even against a Four-Star Dou Huang, he felt he had the strength to put up a fight!

As for anything higher, that would have to wait until he encountered one.

"Broken through again?"

A soft voice reached his ears, and he saw Little Doctor Fairy, who had changed back into a white dress, walking gracefully toward him.

As for why she said "again"?

She had lost count of how many times she had seen Xiao Yuan break through.

Moreover, the commotion grew larger each time.

If this place were not obscured by clouds and mist, surrounded by mountains on all sides like a natural barrier, he feared it would have disturbed countless magical beasts in the mountains.

Xiao Yuan naturally knew this, but he simply smiled and said:

"Mm, I've already broken through to Dou Huang."

"Sigh, you really are a little monster; I've truly never seen anyone like you before."

A fourteen-year-old Dou Huang who hadn't even held his coming-of-age ceremony.

If this were told to anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it.

"But Little Doctor Fairy, you aren't bad either; you're already a Dou Shi now. Once we obtain the Nether Poison Fire to complement your Woeful Poison Body, your breakthrough speed will be even faster! Once the poison pill is refined, you will be able to completely control the Woeful Poison Body."

As he finished speaking.

Little Doctor Fairy pursed her lips slightly and couldn't help but ask:

"Little Brother Xiao Yuan, is refining the poison pill... particularly troublesome?"

"Huh?"

Xiao Yuan was instantly stunned; he never expected Little Doctor Fairy to ask about this so suddenly.

Could it be that she already knows something?

Although he was puzzled, he still said it was no trouble on the surface.

"Really? Don't lie to me."

Little Doctor Fairy pressed him step by step.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly retreated, smiling, "How could I? What good would lying to you do?"

He said that, but in reality, he didn't want to put too much pressure on Little Doctor Fairy.

Because the requirements for refining the poison pill were truly outrageous.

[Sigh, if she knew that refining the poison pill required three types of Heavenly Flames, a Rank 7 Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast magic core, and Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, she would probably collapse on the spot, right?]

[But fortunately, I have a Rank 7 magic core on hand, and I already have the Life Flame. I just need to go to the Tagor Desert to get the Green Lotus Core Flame, then head to the Black-Corner Region to get Han Feng's Sea Heart Flame and the Fallen Heart Flame from Jia Nan Academy.]

[As for the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva... I'll have to rely on luck to draw that, or find it according to the original story.]

[Ding, congratulations on obtaining one portion of Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva.]

"?!!"

[No, I just made a wish, you actually gave it to me???]

Xiao Yuan didn't know what to say to this damn system at this moment.

Meanwhile, Little Doctor Fairy, having heard his inner thoughts, found her breathing becoming rapid.

Not to mention the rarity of a Rank 7 magic core, the mere mention of three Heavenly Flames was enough to scare anyone to death, let alone the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva, which she had never even heard of.

Yet, Xiao Yuan was going to collect all these things for her, just to cure her Woeful Poison Body...

Little brother, how should big sister ever repay you?

For a moment, the look in Little Doctor Fairy's eyes as she gazed at Xiao Yuan became indescribably complex, a mixture of various emotions.

She felt that even offering herself to him wouldn't be enough to repay this kindness...

At this moment, Xiao Yuan finally noticed that something was off with Little Doctor Fairy.

"Sister Little Doctor Fairy, why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing. Where are you planning to go next? I'll accompany you."

Little Doctor Fairy withdrew her gaze, her voice becoming even gentler and firmer than before.

From Xiao Yuan's previous inner thoughts, she knew that he was supposed to go to the Jia Ma Holy City next to annul his engagement with a girl named Nalan Yanran.

But what she actually heard was not the case at all.

"Emmmm, I originally intended to take a trip to the Jia Ma Holy City, but for now, I think I'll take a slight detour and head to the Chu Yun Empire first."

[If I don't get my hands on what I can, I'll always feel a bit uneasy.]

"But before that, I have some business to attend to in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. How about you wait for me here for a bit, Sister Little Doctor Fairy? It shouldn't take long..."

"No, I'll go with you."

Little Doctor Fairy interrupted him decisively.

Xiao Yuan didn't refuse.

"Alright then, let's go together."

Although he knew that something about Little Doctor Fairy seemed different, he chose not to delve into it.

He casually put away the flags of the Spirit Gathering Array.

Then, he habitually wrapped his arm around Little Doctor Fairy's slender, graceful waist, condensed a pair of Dou Qi wings, and transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight into the clouds.

As for what he was going to do in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?

Naturally, it was to find that Rank 6 Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, which was equivalent to a human Dou Huang.

He just happened to be missing a big lion mount, and he wanted to test out a newly unlocked Dou Technique!
