Two-Star Master Teacher

Chapter 17

The mountain wind stirred, extinguishing the last horse bandit's flame of life. A heavy, pungent stench of blood spread across the slopes of Luoting Mountain.

Qin Yu stared blankly at the blood-soaked scene and at Chen Qiye, who stood in the middle of the slope drenched in blood like a demon god. His expression was dazed.

"Brother Chen..."

It was Qin Yu's first time killing someone. As the numbness from his boiling blood gradually faded and he calmed down, turmoil inevitably rose in his heart.

Chen Qiye turned around and walked toward Qin Yu. At the same time, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Notice: The host has completed the master teacher advancement mission. Preparing to initiate plane transmission..."

"System, can I take on another disciple now?"

"Ding! Notice: The host must return to Battle Through the Heavens to complete the advancement."

"Fine, then!"

Chen Qiye patted Qin Yu on the shoulder and smiled faintly. "Xiaoyu, you did very well. Stay true to yourself. I believe that one day, you will become an unparalleled powerhouse."

"Me? Can I really do it?"

Qin Yu shuddered and muttered, "Brother Chen, I can't even cultivate internal energy. I can only practice the most grueling and exhausting external arts..."

By the time Qin Yu came to his senses, Chen Qiye had already gone far away. He immediately shouted, "Brother Chen, where are you going... Will we meet again?"

"If fate wills it, we will meet again!"

The voice echoed beside Qin Yu's ears. Suddenly, an intense ball of light condensed in an instant, and a blazing pillar of light descended from the sky like the sun, illuminating everything.

"So, so amazing! Just who is Brother Chen?"

Qin Yu took a deep breath. The determination in his eyes gradually solidified as he thought, Thank you, Brother Chen. Xiaoyu will definitely work twice as hard!

The pillar of light that reached from heaven to earth flashed past, and Chen Qiye, dressed in white robes, abruptly appeared atop a mountain peak.

"The sea of clouds is surging here? Hmm, it seems I ended up in the wrong place!" Chen Qiye looked around and suddenly discovered that all he could see were rolling white clouds, completely different from where he had left. He could not help asking in surprise.

"Ding! Notice: Precision deviations may occur when transmitting from a higher plane to a lower plane."

"Ding! Notice: The host is currently near Green Mountain Town, on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

"Good thing it didn't send me straight to the Hall of Souls... Otherwise, I might have taken Hun Mie Sheng as my disciple too!"

Chen Qiye grumbled inwardly, shook his head, and opened the system panel.

Host: Chen Qiye

Realm: Eighth-Stage Martial Master (Eight-Star Dou Master)

Experience: 8000/30000

Cultivation Technique: Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms

Master Teacher Points: 111

Master Teacher Level: Two-Star

Current Plane: Battle Through the Heavens

Plane Disciple: Xiao Yan

"I'm a two-star master teacher now. Too bad I couldn't take Qin Yu as my disciple. He's a future god on the Primordial Ranking!"

Chen Qiye's face was full of regret. However, he felt that the Stellar Transformations world seemed more dangerous than Battle Through the Heavens, so he immediately composed himself.

"System, which direction is Green Mountain Town?"

"Ding! Notice: Green Mountain Town is to the south."

Chen Qiye headed south. Before he had gone far, he noticed movement in the dense forest ahead. A pale blue-and-white figure slowly came into view.

"Eh? Sir, are you injured?"

Accompanied by a gentle voice, a woman in white emerged from the forest. She looked at Chen Qiye in surprise and asked repeatedly.

Only then did Chen Qiye remember that he was still stained with the blood of the Black Wind Horse Bandits. He looked at the woman and smiled faintly. "No, it's magical beast blood..."

The woman wore a light green robe paired with a thin pale white gauze skirt. Though her beauty was not enough to topple cities and kingdoms, she could still be called a rare beauty. Her faintly smiling face carried a fresh, ethereal air, and that distinctive temperament greatly enhanced her charm.

In particular, her bright eyes revealed clarity and kindness. Her pure, untainted gaze gave others the gentle feeling of a spring breeze brushing across their faces.

"Are you the Little Fairy Doctor?" Chen Qiye asked. Near Green Mountain Town, a girl as pure as a lotus flower appeared alone in this deep forest, with several medicinal herbs in her hands. Who else could she be but the Little Fairy Doctor?

Confusion appeared on the Little Fairy Doctor's face, but she soon nodded. "That's me... How should I address you, sir? And are you really all right? There don't seem to be any magical beasts around here..."

He had just become a two-star master teacher, and he had already encountered the Little Fairy Doctor? Could this be the legendary bond between master and disciple?

Even the system's targeted transmission could go wrong...

Chen Qiye thought to himself: The Little Fairy Doctor was kind by nature. Although the Calamity Poison Body had tormented her, she had never gone to extremes. She had always practiced medicine in Green Mountain Town, saving lives and helping the wounded.

Chen Qiye admired that about her. Moreover, the Little Fairy Doctor was the future Heavenly Poison Woman, a Dou Saint powerhouse with limitless potential!

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, the corners of Chen Qiye's lips curled upward slightly.

Seeing the young man before her suddenly smile, the Little Fairy Doctor was startled and began to panic, unconsciously retreating a few steps.

It was no wonder. In this remote mountain forest, a young man covered in blood had appeared out of nowhere. It was more than a little strange. At first, the Little Fairy Doctor had thought Chen Qiye was injured, and out of a healer's compassion, she had chosen to approach him. Who would have thought that not only was he fine, but he was even wearing such a mysterious smile? The Little Fairy Doctor, who had no cultivation, immediately became wary.

"Don't be afraid, Little Fairy Doctor. My name is Chen Qiye. I came here specifically for you..." Chen Qiye hurriedly said.

It would have been better if he had said nothing. The moment those words left his mouth, the Little Fairy Doctor shuddered. Her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Chen Qiye.

"Y-you, what do you want! D-don't come any closer!"

Chen Qiye's face instantly darkened.

"Little Fairy Doctor, you misunderstand. I don't mean that..." Chen Qiye thought for a moment, then simply laid his cards on the table. "I came to find you because of the Calamity Poison Body!"

The Calamity Poison Body was an innate poison body. Not only was it immensely powerful, but it was also difficult to control.

Once its host could no longer suppress the poison body, it would erupt from within. Wherever the poison spread, all living things would be devastated.

The Little Fairy Doctor's adoptive parents and everyone in her village had been poisoned to death when her poison body spread during her childhood. Those who possessed the "Calamity Poison Body" were practically regarded as unforgivable fiends on this continent, enemies to be slain by all.

"Ding! Emotion points from the Little Fairy Doctor +500!"

Upon hearing the words "Calamity Poison Body," the Little Fairy Doctor's face immediately turned deathly pale, without the slightest trace of color left. "Y-you... How do you know?"

Seeing the Little Fairy Doctor terrified out of her wits, Chen Qiye smiled again and said calmly,

"Little Fairy Doctor, your spirit of doing good, saving lives, and healing the wounded over the years has deeply moved me. That is why I came from over there to find you—to help you suppress the Calamity Poison Body, so that you won't die from it erupting and poison everything for miles around."

As he spoke, Chen Qiye pointed toward the skies beyond. Over there. He truly was not lying; he had indeed just returned from beyond the heavens.

"Really?" The Little Fairy Doctor was visibly moved.

Chen Qiye said gently, "A mere Calamity Poison Body is nothing to me. I only have one condition..."

Before his words had even faded, a cold laugh suddenly rang out from the dense forest. "Hahaha, I never expected the lifesaver of countless mercenaries in Green Mountain Town to be someone with a Calamity Poison Body. Our young commander has been thinking about you day and night, and even specifically sent me to protect you..."
