Xiao Yi Xian's Favor!

With a hint of curiosity and confusion.

Xiao Yi Xian was indeed rather curious as well.

She did not know whether the rumors were true.

So Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Ze before her and said,

"Back in Green Mountain Town, there were quite a few rumors."

"One of them was that you could refine pills above the fifth tier."

"And that you possessed strength beyond that of a Dou Ling."

"I'm not sure whether they're true, so I'll verify them shortly."

"Indulge my curiosity."

Xiao Yi Xian looked very perplexed.

Xiao Ze nodded slightly.

Sparring with Xiao Yi Xian was no big deal.

Besides, it would help Xiao Yi Xian understand him better.

That would be greatly beneficial to him in getting to know Xiao Yi Xian.

Naturally, Xiao Ze agreed.

Without any hesitation or delay.

"Sure. Since you want to spar and test my strength, there's naturally no problem."

After he agreed.

Xiao Yi Xian before him revealed a relieved smile.

She nodded in satisfaction and said,

"No problem. Then it's settled."

Once they had made their decision.

Xiao Ze looked at Xiao Yi Xian before him and waited for her to make a move.

A moment later, Xiao Yi Xian swiftly attacked.

She launched an attack at Xiao Ze.

But in just a brief moment, Xiao Ze easily neutralized it.

Xiao Yi Xian's current strength was far from enough to challenge him.

Xiao Ze was now a seven-star Dou Ling.

How could Xiao Yi Xian possibly be his match?

After she was swiftly forced back by him.

Her expression immediately turned shocked.

"So you really have strength beyond a Dou Ling. You're truly powerful."

Xiao Yi Xian looked astonished, thoroughly taken by surprise.

The rumors had not been false.

"Xiao Ze really possesses strength beyond that of a Dou Ling."

"Could he really refine pills above the fifth tier too?"

Although information did not travel particularly quickly in Green Mountain Town.

Many mercenaries frequently traveled to Wutan City.

So they often brought back news from there.

She had heard that, some time ago, Xiao Ze had competed with Princess Yao Yue of the Gama Empire Royal Family.

In the end, even Princess Yao Yue's astonishing talent in pill refinement had been outmatched.

"He truly is incredible, this Xiao Ze."

"Not only is he powerful, but his talent in pill refinement is astounding as well."

Xiao Yi Xian secretly assessed him in her heart.

Xiao Ze's attention was fixed on the System Panel.

A line of text appeared on it.

[You sparred with Xiao Yi Xian and displayed a certain degree of strength.]

[You triggered a random reward and obtained a permanent increase of 36 Strength attribute points.]

"Alright, we've sparred. Xiao Ze, your strength truly is impressive. I'm convinced."

Xiao Yi Xian replied as she looked at Xiao Ze before her.

Xiao Ze smiled faintly without saying anything, his expression quiet.

He looked at Xiao Yi Xian before him, then asked,

"Xiao Yi Xian, if I'm not mistaken."

"You should possess the rare Woe Poison Body, shouldn't you?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked stunned.

"How did you know?"

Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat surprised. She truly had not expected Xiao Ze to see through her constitution at a glance.

But when she considered that he could refine fifth-tier pills, it seemed rather normal.

"With a constitution like mine, I'm destined to have nothing in this life."

"I'll bring misfortune to those around me."

"Who said that?"

Xiao Ze shook his head and denied it.

"Even if the Woe Poison Body's side effects are severe."

"That doesn't mean there's no way to resolve them."

"So you have a solution?"

Xiao Ze answered,

"If we can refine a poison pill or obtain a Heavenly Flame, it can be resolved."

Xiao Ze smiled slightly.

"Don't worry. Since we're friends now."

"I'll definitely help you solve this problem in the future."

Hearing Xiao Ze's declaration, Xiao Yi Xian was rather moved.

Although she had not known Xiao Ze for long.

Xiao Yi Xian felt that he was truly a good person.

He was definitely a friend worth knowing deeply.

So Xiao Yi Xian looked at him and said,

"Xiao Ze, no matter what, I still want to thank you."

"Even though I know you might just be comforting me."

"But it's alright. After hearing those words, my heart feels warm too."

Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly.

Although she and Xiao Ze had known each other for several days.

They had only met by chance.

Xiao Yi Xian did not believe that Xiao Ze would truly do such a thing.

In any case, she had long grown used to being alone.

Even if the Woe Poison Body truly erupted one day, it would not be such a big deal.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, her mindset still steady.

She had long accepted the worst possible outcome.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Ze and spoke earnestly.

"Xiao Ze, no matter what, during these days in Green Mountain Town."

"I've been very happy to meet a friend like you."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at him.

"Back in Green Mountain Town, I heard many rumors about you."

"I never expected to meet you here. I suppose we were rather fated."

Xiao Ze said nothing and continued looking at Xiao Yi Xian.

The Xiao Yi Xian before him still had black hair.

Her Woe Poison Body had not erupted yet.

Yet some complicated emotions could still be seen on Xiao Yi Xian's face.

Xiao Ze spoke seriously.

"Don't worry. Since I promised you, I'll definitely keep my word."

"I'm absolutely not saying it casually. You can rest assured of that."

Xiao Ze suddenly opened the system inventory and checked it.

Not long ago, he had obtained a poison-attribute cultivation technique.

It was called the Hundred Poisons True Scripture, and it was most suitable for someone with a Woe Poison Body like Xiao Yi Xian to cultivate.

Xiao Ze took out the cultivation technique, and it appeared in his hand.

Xiao Yi Xian asked in confusion,

"What is this?"

Xiao Ze replied,

"This is a poison-attribute cultivation technique, very suitable for you to cultivate."

"Take it. It should greatly benefit the improvement of your strength."

Xiao Yi Xian froze.

If she had not seen and heard it with her own eyes and ears, she truly would not have dared believe it.

"This is actually real."

"Such a precious cultivation technique—its grade must be quite high, right?"

"You're actually giving it to me just like that."

Xiao Yi Xian was surprised and astonished.

Then Xiao Ze handed the cultivation technique to Xiao Yi Xian.

"It's only a cultivation technique. It's no big deal."

"Take it. I can't cultivate this type of technique anyway, and it will benefit you."

After Xiao Ze finished speaking, he returned to tending to his own affairs.

He did not continue looking at Xiao Yi Xian.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian looked somewhat stunned.

From time to time, she glanced at Xiao Ze.

At this time, a line of explanation appeared on Xiao Ze's System Panel.

[Because of your recent actions, Xiao Yi Xian's emotions have fluctuated greatly.]

[You triggered a random reward and obtained an Orange Treasure Chest.]

[Would you like to open it and draw a reward?]
