Nine-Star Dou Zong Puppet! Little Doctor Fairy is in Action!

Before the first rays of morning sunlight had fully dispersed the mist over the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Fan's figure flickered into existence like a ghost.

He observed the ambient Dou Qi deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, only to find it less abundant than when he had last absorbed it.

Recovering so slowly... but it will suffice.

Beside him, the puppet with the strength of a two-star Dou Zong stood silently, a faint pressure radiating from its body.

Xiao Fan took a deep breath, clapped his hands together, and surging Dou Qi began to churn.

As he released his Dou Qi, the surrounding air began to vibrate violently, as if stirred by an invisible force.

Immediately following, a dazzling light ignited beneath his feet, spreading rapidly in all directions with him at the center.

Wherever the light touched, the earth began to tremble, and giant boulders tumbled down with a dull, rumbling roar.

In an instant, a massive formation covering the greater part of the deep Magical Beast Mountain Range rose from the ground.

The formation's patterns shimmered with golden light, crisscrossing to outline mysterious and complex designs.

Runes surged within the formation, light flowing through them as if countless stars were flickering in and out of existence.

It was as if the Milky Way had been overturned, the cascading starlight converging into a brilliant curtain of light that enveloped the entire formation.

The surrounding space became distorted under the pressure of the formation, as if it were on the verge of collapse.

A gale howled through the area, whipping the trees in the forest until they swayed wildly, their leaves dancing in the sky.

The magical beasts inhabiting the mountain range sensed this terrifying aura and began to roar in panic, fleeing in every direction.

It seemed that in the face of this power, their usual ferocity and brutality had vanished without a trace, leaving only instinctive terror.

Xiao Fan's expression remained as calm as water, his eyes fixed on every subtle change within the formation.

At this moment, he had merged with the ancient and majestic formation, an inexplicable dignity permeating his entire being.

It was as if he had instantly become the master of this heaven and earth, controlling the cycle of life and death in this world.

"Absorb..."

Xiao Fan uttered these two words softly, his low voice echoing across the empty expanse.

His purpose was clear: to use the abundant Dou Qi of this vast world as an energy source to refine the two-star Dou Zong puppet at the center of the formation to a higher level.

As his hands danced, weaving one mysterious and complex seal after another, the energy of heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some powerful force, pouring into the formation like a surging tide.

Under the infusion of this endless energy, the aura of the puppet at the center of the formation climbed steadily.

Three-star Dou Zong... four-star... five-star... eight-star... nine-star... until it reached the peak of nine-star!

The surging energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to tremble.

However, it finally hit what seemed to be an invisible wall, unable to advance a single step further.

So it really is impossible?

Xiao Fan looked at the puppet, which had stopped at the nine-star Dou Zong level, a trace of disdain appearing in his eyes.

He had secretly hoped to refine a Dou Zun-level puppet; that would have been worth looking at.

But because of the limitations of the puppet's own physical body, it had reached its limit at this critical moment.

Xiao Fan curled his lip, clicked his tongue, and muttered to himself, "What trash. It seems I need at least a Dou Zong-level physical body to make this work..."

After all, Yun Shan was merely a Dou Huang; the materials used to refine this puppet were lacking, and it truly failed to catch his eye.

Xiao Fan sensed the strength of the Dou Zong puppet again, feeling that if he had to do it himself... well, never mind, using even one move would be an insult to the title of Young Emperor Body.

"Forget it..."

Xiao Fan sighed lightly, flicked his long sleeves, and stepped into the air with the Dou Zong puppet, heading toward the Xiao Clan.

In truth, according to his original plan, he should have taken the puppet to the Misty Cloud Sect first.

But today was different; it was the critical day for Little Doctor Fairy's Woeful Poison Body to erupt.

After continuously consuming Poison Pills during this period, her Dou Qi cultivation had reached the Dou Ling stage, and today she would release the poison gas she had accumulated over the past while.

For Xiao Fan, this took higher priority.

When Xiao Fan returned to his room at home, Little Doctor Fairy was already sitting quietly on his bed.

She wore a plain white dress, the hem of which spread out on the bed as softly as flowing water.

Little Doctor Fairy's features were as exquisite as a painting, her lips like cherries, and at this moment, they were slightly upturned, revealing a sweet smile as she called out softly, "Brother Xiao Fan~"

Xiao Fan nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face as he stepped forward steadily.

The moment he entered the room, the formation already set up inside automatically activated, runes flickering with a faint light to weave an invisible net.

This formation contained the miraculous effects of concealment and entrapment; once activated, no matter what earth-shattering events occurred within, the outside world would be unable to detect the slightest anomaly.

"Come..."

Xiao Fan's calm voice rang out. This was not the first time the two had experienced such a scene; the initial shyness and awkwardness had long since dissipated through their past interactions, leaving only a sense of tacit understanding and composure.

They sat cross-legged, facing each other with practiced ease.

"Mm..."

As the Woeful Poison Body began to erupt, Little Doctor Fairy couldn't help but let out a strange sound.

In an instant, her originally jet-black, lustrous hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, each silver strand shimmering with an eerie glow in the dimly lit room.

A faint, ghostly purple hue flickered within her eyes.

Immediately after, the entire room was rapidly filled with a thick, pungent poisonous mist.

The poison gas took on a bizarre ink-green color, churning and surging as if it possessed a life of its own.

However, Xiao Fan remained calm and composed. He took a deep breath, and the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art within his body instantly began to circulate.

A faint black light emerged around him, acting like a massive vortex that sucked in all the surrounding poison gas, converting it into his own foundation.

Time passed, though he knew not how much.

Just as Xiao Fan was immersed in the critical moment of absorbing the poison to increase his strength, Little Doctor Fairy made a new move.

Her tightly closed eyes opened slightly, and a glimmer of cunning flashed in their depths, much like a clever little fox.

Following that, her fair, slender legs, which had been crossed, parted slightly, and then she used a gentle force to wrap them tightly around Xiao Fan's waist.

"..."

Feeling this sudden little movement from Little Doctor Fairy, the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth twitched slightly.

Woman! Don't you dare ruin my cultivation!

Helpless, he quickly pressed his palms together, attempting to cast aside distracting thoughts and re-enter that state of selfless cultivation.

However, Little Doctor Fairy's small movements did not stop there.

Using the leverage of her legs wrapped around his waist, she slowly pulled her entire body closer.

Then, her warm, soft lips pressed gently against Xiao Fan's cheek, leaving behind a faint imprint.

Xiao Fan had no choice but to open his eyes, looking at the now bewitching and incomparably beautiful Little Doctor Fairy with a gaze filled with a mix of indulgence and helplessness.

He heard Little Doctor Fairy ask softly, "Brother, am I not beautiful?"

Before the words had even faded, her arms wound around Xiao Fan's neck like agile snakes. The next moment, their lips met, and the Woeful Poison Body erupted even more violently...

The environment seemed to undergo a change as well; fragments of some Great Dao laws, in the form of runes, floated impatiently around him, as if eager for Xiao Fan to memorize them...
