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

After speaking, Xiao Yi probed ahead with his soul power.

With a clear destination in mind, Xiao Yi headed straight toward the dense forest ahead.

"There seem to be some fine medicinal herbs over there..."

Xiao Yi spoke softly and beckoned Little Fairy Doctor to come along.

Though Little Fairy Doctor did not understand why, she still followed behind Xiao Yi and entered the forest.

After the two walked through the forest for some time, the dim surroundings suddenly brightened.

Ahead lay a rather steep and perilous cliff.

Although Little Fairy Doctor had come to the Warcraft Mountains to gather herbs countless times, this was still her first time setting foot in such a mysterious place.

As a professional physician, Little Fairy Doctor's gaze immediately locked onto a pale white flower blooming by the cliff.

"There's actually a White Orchid Fruit here?"

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up. She stepped forward carefully and gently plucked it with her slender hand.

Xiao Yi nodded calmly, but his attention was not on the White Orchid Fruit.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, you must be an alchemist, right..."

After a moment, Little Fairy Doctor spoke softly.

Only then did Xiao Yi turn to look at Little Fairy Doctor. "What makes you think so?"

Little Fairy Doctor carefully placed the White Orchid Fruit into her medicine basket, paused, then continued.

"You led me through the forest to this place just now. You must have sensed it with soul power..."

"And when you used Dou Qi to knock Mu Li away this morning, the Dou Qi you displayed appeared to be fire-attributed..."

"Fire-attributed Dou Qi combined with such powerful soul power—other than an alchemist, I can't think of any ordinary person who could possess such a perfect combination..."

After speaking, Little Fairy Doctor smiled at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi smiled and nodded in reply. "As expected of Little Fairy Doctor. You're quite perceptive..."

Little Fairy Doctor then turned toward the cliff and softly asked, "Mr. Xiao Yi, it seems your attention wasn't on that White Orchid Fruit just now. Is there something beneath the cliff...?"

Xiao Yi nodded. "I sensed that there seems to be an extremely hidden cave beneath this cliff. There may be quite an opportunity waiting there..."

"How about it? Do you dare come down with me and seek it out...?"

Xiao Yi looked at Little Fairy Doctor and quietly waited for her answer.

After thinking it over, Little Fairy Doctor still nodded lightly.

The two then walked together toward the cliff's edge.

The steep cliff face came into view.

Yet Xiao Yi's gaze was incredibly precise, landing unerringly on a section of the mountain wall concealed by fallen logs.

Following Xiao Yi's gaze, Little Fairy Doctor also spotted the pitch-black cave on the cliff face through the sunlight.

"There really is a cave!"

Little Fairy Doctor could not help but cry out.

"But the cliff is so steep. I'm afraid neither of us can get inside..."

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and murmured softly.

Xiao Yi merely smiled. "Isn't that why I'm here...?"

"This cave won't be much trouble for me..."

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, light flashed in his hand, and the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear appeared.

Seeing this, Little Fairy Doctor took a frightened step back. "Mr. Xiao Yi, what are you...?"

Xiao Yi smiled. "Naturally, we're going into the cave to seek our opportunity!"

"But even if you can do it, what about me...?"

Little Fairy Doctor froze slightly, unsure of what he meant.

Xiao Yi slowly opened his arms. "Naturally, you'll be coming down with me..."

Seeing Xiao Yi's open embrace, Little Fairy Doctor understood at once. Her cheeks instantly reddened again. "This... perhaps I'd better not go..."

Xiao Yi laughed softly as if nothing were amiss. "It would be such a pity not to. There might be some high-grade medicinal herbs in that cave..."

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's body trembled slightly. "I'll go..."

As soon as Little Fairy Doctor spoke, a gentle breeze slowly drifted over.

Yet this breeze was unlike any ordinary one; it carried a faint fragrance.

A soft, delicate body gently entered Xiao Yi's embrace, her arms wrapping around his sturdy shoulders.

Xiao Yi merely extended an arm and encircled the slender willow waist praised by countless people.

"Mr. Xiao Yi, be careful..."

Little Fairy Doctor spoke softly. Her originally fair cheeks had long since turned red all the way from her ears.

Xiao Yi nodded. "Don't worry..."

Xiao Yi then moved to the cliff face. As he lightly leaped down, the tip of the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear in his other hand pierced precisely into a crack in the rock.

Using gravity, he rapidly slid downward.

Because of the combined weight of two people, they descended a little too quickly.

Little Fairy Doctor, held in Xiao Yi's arms, unconsciously tightened her hold around him.

However, Xiao Yi remained unhurried. With his complete control over Dou Qi, he stabilized their descent.

"It's alright. Since I promised to keep you safe, I naturally won't let anything happen to you..."

Xiao Yi spoke softly.

Hearing Xiao Yi's steady, calm voice, Little Fairy Doctor's racing heartbeat finally eased somewhat.

At last, with the Dragon Abyss Formation-Breaking Spear, Xiao Yi reached the platform before the cave while holding Little Fairy Doctor.

Little Fairy Doctor lightly stepped onto the ground and left Xiao Yi's embrace, quickly saying, "Thank you for the trouble, Mr. Xiao Yi..."

Xiao Yi shook his head. "It's nothing..."

At this moment, however, his gaze was entirely fixed on the cave.

Little Fairy Doctor turned slightly to look at the dark cave before them and said softly, "Without sunlight reaching inside, there probably won't be any medicinal herbs, right...?"

Xiao Yi slowly took Little Fairy Doctor's hand and walked toward the cave.

"Judging by its appearance, it should have been left behind by some predecessor. And look at the traces around us—the person who left this cave must have been very powerful!"

"The opportunity left behind should be quite valuable!"

Excitement flickered in Xiao Yi's eyes. If he remembered correctly, there was a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map inside this cave...

Xiao Yi held Little Fairy Doctor's hand as they slowly walked into the cave.

Although Little Fairy Doctor's face was already flushed, she did not pull her hand away.

She merely followed quietly behind Xiao Yi toward the cave.

Within the silent, pitch-black cave, only the faint footsteps of the two could be heard.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Xiao Yi slowly stopped.

Looking at the stone door ahead that emitted a faint yellow glow, Xiao Yi murmured softly, "No way forward..."

Before Little Fairy Doctor could step closer to investigate, a layer of red Dou Qi had already gathered over Xiao Yi's right fist.

"Break for me!"

With a low shout, Xiao Yi smashed his fist heavily into the stone door.

"Boom..."

The yellow stone door collapsed with a crash.

If a road can't be crossed, then punch it open!

That damned memory echoed uncontrollably in Xiao Yi's mind.
