A Feast for the Eyes

Judging by the development of the original plot, if Xiao Yi Xian had not waited until she truly could no longer suppress the Misfortune Poison Body's craving for poison before taking it each time, then by the time she met Xiao Yan again, her strength should have long since broken through to the Dou Zun realm.

However, Xiao Yi Xian could not be blamed for that. Without Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's help, the Misfortune Poison Body would probably have erupted completely before she even had the chance to break through to Dou Zun.

The next morning

After Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian washed up, they had no intention of lingering in the Monster Mountain Range and immediately set off for Black Rock City.

Black Rock City was a large city located in the eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire. It was far more magnificent than Wutan City, and its overall strength ranked among the best of the empire's major cities.

Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian were heading to Black Rock City because only large cities like it were equipped by the empire with civilian flying transport teams.

After all, the Monster Mountain Range was far too distant from the Tagor Desert. If Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian had traveled on foot, it would have taken at least four or five months.

As for the First-Rank Blue Eagle that Xiao Yi Xian had accidentally subdued in the original plot, it was clearly not yet time for the two to meet.

Therefore, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian could only head to Black Rock City and ride its flying beasts to the Tagor Desert.

After entering Black Rock City, Xiao Feng first took Xiao Yi Xian to the largest market in town to purchase ingredients for preparing poisons before heading to the Flying Transport Company.

The Flying Transport Company was located in the center of Black Rock City. There was an enormous, spacious Flying Plaza there, with more than ten massive flying birds parked on it.

Those flying birds were called Thick-Winged Birds. They were not magical beasts, but genuine birds with extremely gentle temperaments, making them especially easy for humans to tame.

Although Thick-Winged Birds flew more slowly than flying magical beasts, they possessed great endurance. As long as they ate their fill, they could fly continuously for four or five days.

Thick-Winged Birds also had remarkable carrying capacity and could easily carry loads five or six times their own weight over long distances.

There were actually tamed flying magical beasts at the Flying Transport Company as well, but only alchemists were qualified to ride them.

Neither Xiao Feng nor Xiao Yi Xian was an alchemist, so they could only queue up like ordinary people to buy two flight tickets. Under the staff's guidance, they boarded the corresponding Thick-Winged Bird.

Compared to First-Rank flying magical beasts, Thick-Winged Birds were clearly much slower. It took them more than twenty days to reach Mo City, located on the edge of the Tagor Desert.

Once the Thick-Winged Bird landed at Mo City's Flying Plaza, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian emerged from the little wooden cabin on its back.

Since the wooden cabin carried by the Thick-Winged Bird was so small, Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian had little room to move around inside. Other than cultivating, all they could do was cultivate.

After this period of diligent cultivation, coupled with the assistance of the Nourishing Spirit Pill, Xiao Feng's cultivation had successfully broken through to Four-Star Dou Zhe.

However, compared to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Feng's improvement was nothing worth mentioning.

In just over twenty days, Xiao Yi Xian had raised her cultivation from Dou Qi Stage Five to Dou Qi Stage Nine. She could break through to One-Star Dou Zhe at any moment.

As expected of the Misfortune Poison Body—it was simply terrifying!

After following Xiao Feng out of the Flying Plaza, Xiao Yi Xian could not help asking, "Xiao Feng, where are we going next? Straight to Stone Desert City?"

During their journey to the Tagor Desert, the two had chatted about many everyday matters out of boredom. Thus, Xiao Yi Xian knew that Xiao Feng's two older brothers had established a Mercenary Group in Stone Desert City.

Since Xiao Feng had come to the Tagor Desert to train this time, he would certainly visit his two older brothers.

Unfortunately, Stone Desert City was a small city and did not have a Flying Plaza, so Xiao Feng and Xiao Yi Xian could only arrive at Mo City first before transferring to Mo City.

"No rush. Let's rest up in Mo City first and set out for Stone Desert City tomorrow!"

Xiao Feng stretched his limbs and said with a yawn, "After riding that Thick-Winged Bird for so long, I feel like my bones are about to rust."

"Sounds good."

Xiao Yi Xian wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and said, "Then let's visit a clothing store first! I was just planning to buy some new clothes. It's far too hot here, so I need to buy more things to keep cool as well."

"Then let's go!"

Xiao Feng made a welcoming gesture toward Xiao Yi Xian and led her toward Mo City's market.

The Tagor Desert was extremely hot during the day, with temperatures usually remaining around forty or fifty degrees. As a result, the local style of clothing mainly favored cool, light attire.

Most of the men walking the streets were bare-chested, wearing knee-length shorts and breathable sandals.

The women dressed just as lightly, usually in tube tops and short skirts. Their skin had a healthy bronze hue, giving them a distinctive charm.

Xiao Yi Xian followed the local customs as well, carefully selecting several beautifully styled tube tops and short skirts. However, she was still rather shy, so she also deliberately bought several light gauze garments for sun protection to wear over her clothes.

"How is it?"

Xiao Yi Xian quickly changed her clothes and walked out of the fitting room. Turning in a circle before Xiao Feng, she asked, "Does this look alright on me?"

"Not bad. Very beautiful!"

Xiao Feng gave Xiao Yi Xian an open once-over and nodded honestly.

Although Xiao Yi Xian had deliberately put on a gauzy outer garment to shield herself from the sun, Xiao Feng could clearly see the white tube top and short skirt beneath the translucent fabric.

Other than those two sensitive areas, Xiao Yi Xian's perfect figure was fully displayed before Xiao Feng.

Her slender, snake-like waist in particular gave one the urge to reach out and touch it.

Noticing the undisguised fondness in Xiao Feng's eyes, the corners of Xiao Yi Xian's lips rose unconsciously.

Just wait, you little brat. I'll charm you to death!

Xiao Yi Xian knew that Xiao Feng loved admiring her slender waist the most, so she deliberately swayed it, a hint of smugness flashing through her beautiful eyes.

Over the next half hour or so, Xiao Yi Xian changed into dozens more outfits in succession, giving Xiao Feng, the temporary judge, quite a feast for the eyes.

After Xiao Yi Xian finished buying clothes, she placed all the garments she had carefully selected into her Storage Ring.

Xiao Yi Xian had not originally possessed a Storage Ring. The one she wore now had been given to her by Xiao Feng.

The Storage Ring Xiao Feng gave Xiao Yi Xian had been looted from Mu She.
