When Xiao Tianci finished refining the last batch of pills, he turned his head and looked at the dawning sky.

He couldn't help but stretch, let out a long sigh, and exclaimed.

"Time flies! It's almost dawn."

Xiao Tianci flipped his hand and put away the Flying Dragon Cauldron.

With the help of the Flying Dragon Cauldron, Xiao Tianci's alchemy speed has increased during this period, and the medicinal effects of the pills he has refined are quite good.

Of course, more importantly, he felt that his alchemy skills had improved considerably during this period.

After stretching, my bones cracked all over.

Xiao Tianci slowly walked to the bedside, controlled the Cold Sky Sword to mount his back, and said softly, "It's time to go."

Last night, Xiao Tianci had already mentioned his departure to Xiao Ding and the other two.

The two had wanted to have one last drink with Lin Tianci before he left, but Xiao Tianci refused, saying he needed to refine pills.

After hoisting the Cold Sky Sword onto his back, Xiao Tianci went to the table and took out large bottles of pills from his Storage Ring.

These pills are all kinds of healing Poison Pill pills.

Depending on the severity of the injury, different types of medicinal pills may be taken, and the treatment effect will be better.

In addition, Xiao Tianci also took out a bunch of pills with strange and unusual effects.

Huge jade bottles, each containing dozens of pills, quickly filled the table completely.

Afterwards, Xiao Tianci placed some pills on another table and on the bed.

In the end, the entire room seemed to have become a collection room for medicinal pills, with all sorts of pills of various types displayed everywhere.

Xiao Tianci even thoughtfully left notes on these pills.

To avoid a situation where Xiao Ding and Xiao Li wouldn't understand after I left.

After finishing everything, Xiao Tianci clapped his hands, then carried the Cold Sky Sword on his back, slowly walked to the door, opened it, and tiptoed out.

These pills were basically made by Xiao Tianci day and night, so the quantity was quite considerable.

This should be enough for the Desert Iron Mercenary Group to use for a while.

If all goes well, he might be able to return quickly, and then he can prepare a new and generous gift for the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

At this moment, it was still somewhat dark outside, with only half a corner of the rising sun peeking out on the distant horizon.

The temperature has also risen, and it's not as cold as it was at night.

Xiao Tianci had just quietly closed the door and hadn't taken two steps when he was called back by the girl's timid voice.

"Young Master Tianci, are you getting ready to leave?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianci sighed softly, then turned his head slightly to look at the petite figure at the end of the path.

He slowly walked over, finally stopping in front of Qing Lin. He reached out and patted Qing Lin's head, saying, " Qing Lin, I have very important things to do, so I can't stay here with you any longer."

Qing Lin opened her clear, pure, emerald-green eyes, as bright as lotus blossoms, and looked at Xiao Tianci, whose face was full of warm smiles. A deep reluctance appeared in her eyes, and then she asked softly, "Then, will you come back?"

"Hehe, of course I'll be back. Qing Lin, you'd better work hard." Xiao Tianci squatted down so that his gaze was level with Qing Lin's, and said in a gentle voice.

Then, his gaze shifted and he noticed the Two-Headed Snake emerging from Qing Lin's sleeve. A smile appeared on his lips as he said, " Qing Lin, remember what I told you: just be yourself and don't care about what others think."

"Mmm!" Qing Lin nodded her little head vigorously, and a little mist appeared in her emerald green eyes.

"Hehe, then I'll be going now. Remember to apologize to my two older brothers for me." Xiao Tianci stood up again, patted Qing Lin's little head, and then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

He carried the crystal-clear Cold Sky Sword on his back, which emitted a cold light in the dim environment.

A distant breeze ruffled his clothes, and at this moment, Xiao Tianci resembled a dashing swordsman roaming the world.

Standing on the path, Qing Lin stared intently at the carefree figure slowly disappearing into the darkness, as if trying to imprint that figure in her heart forever.

Only when the figure gradually became blurry did she unable to resist reaching out her small hand to stroke the Two-Headed Snake on her arm, and whispering, "You must come back..."

On a high-rise building within the mercenary group, Xiao Ding rested his chin on his hand, watching Xiao Tianci's figure slowly walk out of the mercenary group. He curled his lips and then smiled.

"Tianci is much more carefree now than when we went out to train back then. I hope he can achieve his goals."

"Hmm..." Xiao Ding, leaning against the pillar, smiled slightly. His gaze was fixed on the figure carrying a long sword, and he said with a laugh, "Yes, when we went out to train back then, we had nothing and were even swindled out of our money. We were quite pathetic no matter where we went. Unlike Tianci, who is so calm and composed, with such an elegant demeanor."

"Hehe, this little guy is getting stronger and stronger. Xiao Yan has also recovered his talent. It seems we need to work harder too, otherwise we'll only be a burden to them in the future..."

High up on the building, the two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

After leaving the area of Stone Desert City, Xiao Tianci opened the map he had obtained in Hai Bodong.

He now plans to travel directly to the deepest part of the Tagor Desert to find the Azure Cloud Sacred Ice he needs and the Sand Mandala that Hai Bodong requires.

After all, he hadn't expected to stay in Stone Desert City for so long before he came.

This extended period of time slightly disrupted his plans.

After all, before coming to the Tagor Desert, he had promised Master Otto and the others that he would go to the Imperial City to attend the Alchemist Conference six months later.

Therefore, if you calculate it this way, Xiao Tianci's time is actually not that plentiful.

This time, Xiao Tianci ventured deep into the Tagor Desert alone, leaving Green Ox in Stone Desert City.

The plan is to return to Stone Desert City and take the Green Ox with them when we leave the Tagor Desert.

The deeper they went, the less certain Xiao Tianci was of what would happen. Therefore, for safety's sake, traveling light was the best option.
