Winning Over Little Fairy Doctor, Reward: Netherworld Poison Flame

Xiao Family, rear mountain.

Xiao Yan glared angrily at the soul body before him.

His cultivation had regressed for three years, and it had actually been caused by the soul body in front of him.

If he had possessed the strength, he would have torn this soul apart on the spot.

Seeing this, Yao Chen gave an awkward smile and began explaining with an apologetic expression.

In the end, only after promising him several benefits did Xiao Yan finally calm down.

"Alright, kid. Acknowledge me as your master, and there will be no shortage of benefits for you in the future. Enough, don't..."

Just then, before Yao Chen could finish speaking,

the space above their heads suddenly split open, and a trace of Dou Saint aura descended with a bang.

Yao Chen's voice abruptly stopped. His expression changed drastically as he looked up in terror, his voice trembling. "Dou... Dou Saint? How is that possible? Why would one appear in a place like this?!"

Xiao Yan was also startled by that aura, but when he saw that the person above them was Lin Yang, he froze where he stood. His mouth fell wide open, yet he could not speak for a long while.

When he heard Yao Chen utter the words "Dou Saint," Xiao Yan was utterly stunned into silence.

Lin Yang drifted down and landed beside Xiao Yan. After sizing up Yao Chen for a few moments, he feigned ignorance and asked indifferently, "Xiao Yan, who is this? Your master?"

Xiao Yan finally recovered his senses and stammered, "Uncle, y-you're a Dou Saint? Th-this is Elder Yao. I was just about to acknowledge him as my master."

"Uncle?!" Upon hearing that, Yao Chen suddenly let out a sigh of relief, and joy immediately welled up in his heart.

He had never expected this Dou Saint to be Xiao Yan's uncle. That would make it much easier to seek Heavenly Flames and even restore his soul in the future. He would no longer need to fear Soul Hall either.

After thinking this to himself, Yao Chen hurriedly cupped his fists toward Lin Yang. "Xiao Yan's uncle, I am Yao Chen, known as the Medicine Venerable, an eighth-tier peak alchemist. I have a fated connection with Xiao Yan, and I will certainly nurture him well in the future."

Yao Chen directly stated both his identity and position, which he considered especially important.

Lin Yang smiled faintly. "It's a long story, Xiao Yan. I'll explain it to you another time." Then, looking at Yao Chen, he feigned surprise. "Medicine Venerable, so it's you. The greatest alchemist of the Central Plains. I heard many years ago that you had died. I never expected you to appear here, much less know my nephew. With you teaching Xiao Yan, I can worry much less in the future."

Yao Chen gave a dry cough and cupped his fists. "You flatter me. It is merely an empty reputation. I was plotted against back then and was left with only these old bones, hiding in a ring. Meeting this boy Xiao Yan can be considered fate."

After speaking, Yao Chen paused slightly. His expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at Xiao Yan. "But let me make this clear first. Since Xiao Yan is acknowledging me as his master, whether in alchemy or cultivation, I will temper him to the brink of death. I will not let him disgrace himself. Now that we have a Dou Saint like you watching over him, there is no need to constantly worry. So long as this boy does not rely on having someone backing him and become lazy, that will be enough." As he spoke, Yao Chen looked at Lin Yang again, the seriousness on his face turning into a gentle smile.

Lin Yang smiled faintly. "Fine, handle it as you see fit. As it happens, I've made a three-year agreement for this boy Xiao Yan. Three years from now, Xiao Yan will personally go to the Nalan Clan and kill Nalan Yanran. Train him well over these three years. In three years, he must break through to the peak Dou King realm."

Yao Chen was slightly stunned upon hearing this. Going from Dou Qi to the peak Dou King realm in three years—how could that be possible?

However, when he thought of Lin Yang being a six-star Dou Saint, Yao Chen relaxed again.

As long as they had a large amount of high-tier beast flames and several Heavenly Flames, reaching the Dou King realm in three years was not impossible.

With Lin Yang's cultivation, gathering a large number of beast flames would be somewhat troublesome, but it would only take some effort. As for Heavenly Flames, finding two or three of them should not be a problem.

Thus, he said, "Rest assured, I will certainly do my utmost to nurture him."

"Mm." Lin Yang nodded slightly at Yao Chen, then looked at Xiao Yan. "Xiao Yan, tell your father that I have already dealt with the Cloud Mist Sect's trouble, so he need not worry. Also, remember not to reveal my strength."

"Mm," Xiao Yan said.

"Alright then. It's getting late, so I'll be leaving first. I'll come by and take a look when I have time," Lin Yang said.

"Mm, farewell, Uncle."

"Farewell, sir."

Lin Yang did not linger any longer. He tore open space and left, preparing to find a place to refine the Primordial Yellow Flame.

Outside Wutan City, Lin Yang appeared within a valley.

He found a stone platform and sat cross-legged upon it.

After regulating his breath for a moment, Lin Yang took out the Primordial Yellow Flame. After examining it for a few moments, he directly swallowed the yellow flame in his hand.

The flame entered his abdomen without stirring even the slightest ripple and was forcibly suppressed within his dantian.

With the physical strength of a Dou Saint, a single Primordial Yellow Flame could not inflict the slightest injury on him.

Lin Yang circulated the Holy Sun Fire-Swallowing Art and began devouring the Primordial Yellow Flame.

Half a day later, the devouring was complete.

The Primordial Yellow Flame had been completely devoured and refined, merging with his Dou Qi.

Lin Yang's cultivation improved by a slight trace, and he now understood roughly how much a normal Heavenly Flame could increase his strength.

Although his cultivation had only risen by a trace, with a Heavenly Flame, Lin Yang's combat strength had increased by far more than ten percent.

"Primordial Yellow Flame." A ball of flame emerged in Lin Yang's palm as he murmured, "I wonder how much the Netherworld Poison Flame will improve me."

Putting away the Heavenly Flame, Lin Yang did not linger and headed for Green Mountain Town.

At dawn, a ray of warm sunlight rose from the horizon.

Little Fairy Doctor pushed open the doors of Myriad Medicine Hall and began treating patients and receiving customers.

Outside, the mercenaries seeking treatment had already formed a long line.

Lin Yang stood at the very front. He sized Little Fairy Doctor up for a few moments. Sure enough, she was elegant as an orchid, carrying an ethereal aura that seemed untouched by the mortal world.

"Sir, you do not seem to be injured or ill. Are you here to buy some medicine for emergencies?" After studying Lin Yang attentively for a few moments, Little Fairy Doctor asked.

Lin Yang raised his hand slightly, and the Primordial Yellow Flame appeared in his palm. He spoke calmly, "Little Fairy Doctor, I'm not here to buy medicine. I came specifically to find you."

Upon seeing the flame, Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed sharply. "Y-you're an alchemist?"

Lin Yang shook his head slightly. "No, but I know a high-tier alchemist. I can introduce you to him."

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes instantly lit up upon hearing that, though she could hardly believe it. "Really? You can truly introduce me to an alchemist?" This had been her greatest wish for many years.

Lin Yang nodded slightly. "Yes, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly asked.

Lin Yang paused slightly. "It's simple. Just become my woman."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's brows furrowed tightly. A trace of distance and bitterness flashed through her eyes. "Th-this lord, forgive me, but I cannot agree. My body is not well. I do not wish to bear children, nor do I wish to burden anyone."

Lin Yang smiled faintly. "Little Fairy Doctor, I know about your constitution. You need not worry about that. As long as you become my woman, I will help you resolve the problem that concerns you. Also, let me tell you, my cultivation is..."

Lin Yang paused, then transmitted his voice through his soul. "Dou Saint."

Little Fairy Doctor shuddered violently. A Dou... Dou Saint? He's actually a Dou Saint!

"Se-senior, can you really help me resolve the problem with my constitution?" Little Fairy Doctor still found it somewhat hard to believe. Her eyes reddened as she asked again in a trembling voice.

She had never dared to hope that the poisonous constitution which had plagued her all her life, one that no one had been able to solve, might truly have a chance of being completely eradicated.

Lin Yang nodded. "Yes. Your constitution is no challenge to me."

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes grew slightly moist as she bit her lip tightly.

The man before her was the only hope she had ever seen in her life. Even if she had to offer herself to him, she was willing to grasp this ray of light that illuminated her darkness.

Thus, she softly said, "Alright, Senior. I agree."

As soon as those words fell, Lin Yang received the system notification. The Netherworld Poison Flame had already been issued, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

At that moment, the system displayed a newly generated random mission.

Lin Yang gave it a casual glance, his brows furrowing slightly as he muttered inwardly, Subdue Hai Bo Dong. The mission is simple enough, but why is the reward another Heavenly Flame? This system is really something else.
