Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Clan, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Legacy

Qingshan Town, Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.

Led by Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yi made his way out of the Warcraft Mountains with ease.

Inside the Medicine Hall, Little Fairy Doctor's expression remained calm, without the slightest change.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, at such a young age, you dared enter the Warcraft Mountains alone. You've got quite the courage..."

Little Fairy Doctor was the first to break the silence. As she spoke, she brewed some herbs to regulate Xiao Yi's breathing.

Xiao Yi merely smiled. "I really did just take a wrong turn. I have no idea how I ended up wandering into the Warcraft Mountains..."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Little Fairy Doctor's lips lifted slightly. As she handed Xiao Yi the freshly brewed medicine, she softly said:

"Mr. Xiao Yi, the Warcraft Mountains are far more dangerous than you seem to think. A lie about taking a wrong turn won't fool me..."

"But since you are unwilling to speak of it, I won't ask any further..."

"Once you reach Qingshan Town, head south and you'll be able to leave town..."

Xiao Yi nodded and took a sip of the medicine. Instantly, a pungent taste spread from his throat to the tip of his nose.

Unable to endure it, Xiao Yi spat it straight out.

Seeing him like this, Little Fairy Doctor, who had been icy and aloof just moments ago, could not help but laugh.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi softly asked, "Since the Warcraft Mountains are so dangerous, why do you, as a physician, insist on going up the mountain to gather herbs yourself..."

Little Fairy Doctor shook her head. "Identifying herbs requires some skill as well. Those mercenary groups only know how to hunt magical beasts. As for medicinal herbs, I still need to gather them myself. It may be somewhat dangerous, but at least it puts my mind at ease..."

"After all, when treating injuries, there can absolutely be no mistakes with the herbs. Otherwise, it would not be saving people, but killing them..."

"Like that medicine you just spat out—it took quite a bit of effort to find those herbs..."

After saying that, Little Fairy Doctor turned slightly to glance at Xiao Yi. Her eyes carried a hint of reproach amid their delicate softness.

Sure enough, Little Fairy Doctor truly was a person of utmost purity and kindness. With such a compassionate heart, she was indeed worthy of the name Little Fairy Doctor.

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Xiao Yi's face as he smiled. "Sorry, I truly didn't expect the medicine to be so bitter..."

"Besides, my disturbed breathing is only a minor issue. I don't actually need medicine. I only need to adjust myself a little, and I'll recover soon enough..."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yi in puzzlement. "If that is so, why didn't you say so from the start..."

"My poor precious herbs..."

Little Fairy Doctor's voice was as gentle as water. Though her words sounded like a complaint, there was not a hint of blame in them.

Xiao Yi slowly rose to his feet, placed the medicine bowl on the table, and softly said, "In that case, I am not such an impolite person..."

"Since you led me down the mountain and personally brewed medicine for me, tomorrow I shall accompany you back into the Warcraft Mountains... Besides, I learned a little about identifying herbs when I was young..."

"I should be able to help you..."

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor was instantly intrigued. She raised her head and looked Xiao Yi directly in the eye, curiosity glimmering in her deep gaze.

"You know herbs too?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly. "It seems I underestimated you, Mr. Xiao Yi. But merely knowing how to identify herbs is not enough. Every time I enter the mountains to gather medicine, I need to go together with a mercenary group..."

"If it were only the two of us, we might be eaten by magical beasts without anyone ever finding out..."

Xiao Yi was unconcerned. He merely took a sip of the hot tea on the table and softly said, "If you are worried that my strength cannot keep you safe, then there is no need!"

"The Warcraft Mountains are nothing. Protecting you, miss, is something I can still manage..."

Seeing Xiao Yi's confident expression, Little Fairy Doctor considered it briefly before nodding.

After all, the young man before her had appeared alone in the depths of the Warcraft Mountains and had not suffered any serious injuries.

He was surely no ordinary person and must possess some exceptional abilities.

Besides, he knew how to identify herbs as well, which was not bad.

It was merely one trip into the mountains. As long as they did not venture into the central region, there should not be any problems.

The next morning.

Xiao Yi and Little Fairy Doctor finished preparing early and were ready to enter the Warcraft Mountains once more.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yi stepped out of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall and passed a blacksmith's shop,

they saw a burly man greet them with a broad smile.

"Little Fairy Doctor, you're heading into the mountains so early today? Going to gather herbs again..."

Little Fairy Doctor did not speak, merely nodding slightly in response.

Faced with Little Fairy Doctor's indifferent attitude, the burly man was not angered in the slightest. The smile on his face did not diminish at all.

"But I haven't heard of any mercenary group heading into the mountains today..."

As soon as he said this, the attention of the pedestrians on the street was immediately drawn over.

After all, Little Fairy Doctor was Qingshan Town's specially appointed physician. Her safety was one of Qingshan Town's greatest concerns.

Without Little Fairy Doctor, who knew how many more severely injured people in Qingshan Town would die every year.

Thus, seeing this, the burly man did not hesitate at all and immediately shouted:

"Little Fairy Doctor is entering the mountains to gather herbs and needs a group of guards! Their strength must be at least Five-Star Dou Zhe!"

The instant the burly man said this, countless people surged forward.

All wanting to become Little Fairy Doctor's guards.

Xiao Yi said nothing, but when he saw Little Fairy Doctor's slightly furrowed brows, he understood that she did not want this.

Thus, Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice. "There is no need to trouble everyone over today's herb-gathering trip..."

As soon as Xiao Yi said this, the crowd that had rushed over immediately broke into discussion.

"Where did this kid come from? He doesn't look like he's from Qingshan Town!"

"Exactly! What a big mouth! His death would be a small matter, but if something happened to Little Fairy Doctor, could he bear the responsibility?"

Amid the crowd's chatter, Xiao Yi suddenly sensed a fairly powerful aura rapidly approaching from behind.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? You're young, but your mouth is sure big!"

"Has your hair even grown in yet? Do you know who Little Fairy Doctor is?"

"You think you alone are worthy of accompanying Little Fairy Doctor into the mountains to gather herbs?"

Xiao Yi did not turn around. Using his soul force, he sensed that the person rushing up behind him was only three steps away.

The next moment, just as the man behind him raised his hand to pat Xiao Yi's shoulder,

Dou Qi suddenly erupted from Xiao Yi's body.

In an instant, an immensely powerful aura burst forth from Xiao Yi.

It directly sent the man behind him stumbling back several steps.

"A... a Dou Shi..."

The moment those words were spoken,

everyone present was stunned.

Little Fairy Doctor was no exception, and she could not help turning to look at Xiao Yi behind her.

After all, such a young Dou Shi was rare even across the Jia Ma Empire.

In a small place like Qingshan Town, which was not even comparable to Wutan City, someone above Five-Star Dou Zhe was enough to command the respect of others.

Not to mention that Xiao Yi was now a genuine Dou Shi.

It was no wonder everyone present reacted this way.

"Everyone, do I now qualify to accompany Little Fairy Doctor into the mountains to gather herbs..."

Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back and spoke softly.

His words were not a question, but a declaration.

At that moment, the man Xiao Yi had knocked back felt utterly humiliated. After all, he had been sent flying so easily before so many people.

The man was Mu Li, the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

Naturally, he was unwilling to lose face before Little Fairy Doctor.

"Brat, so what if you're a Dou Shi..."

"You've only just stepped into the Dou Shi realm, while my father is a Two-Star Dou Shi! Killing you would be as easy as lifting a hand!"

Mu Li slowly rose to his feet and dusted himself off. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately invoked his Two-Star Dou Shi father in an attempt to intimidate Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi finally turned around slowly, his gaze incomparably cold as he looked at Mu Li. "A Two-Star Dou Shi..."
