Green Mountain Town

Thinking of the incomplete Bone Chilling Flame the system had just rewarded him, Xiao Yu hurriedly took it out. A cluster of cold white flames floated before him.

The moment it appeared, Xiao Yu clearly felt the temperature around him plummeting.

The campfire he had only recently lit slowly went out, and the area around the flames was gradually shrouded in ice.

Gazing at the Bone Chilling Flame before him, Xiao Yu calmly reached a hand into its center.

The instant he touched the flames, Xiao Yu felt as though he had touched something warm that was slowly flowing. The cold white flames gradually spread from his outstretched right hand across his entire body.

Before long, Xiao Yu was completely wrapped in cold white flames. At a glance, he looked like a white humanoid flame.

Yet Xiao Yu, enveloped by the flames, sensed that although the Bone Chilling Flame had surrounded him, it bore him no malice whatsoever.

Xiao Yu seemed able to sense the flame's emotions. Like a mischievous child, it circled around him and played with him.

The Chaos Flame Body—according to the system, it possessed maximum fire-element affinity. Xiao Yu trusted the system's judgment, and that was why he had dared to reach out and touch it.

As he sensed the flames, Xiao Yu discovered that the Bone Chilling Flame was slowly entering his body through every pore, gathering once more deep within him. At the same time, the Heavenly Flames burned away all the impurities in his body.

The flames wrapped around the surface of his body also slowly vanished as Xiao Yu absorbed them.

Xiao Yu unhurriedly extended a hand. In the next instant, a cluster of white flames emerged in his palm—it was the Bone Chilling Flame.

Lowering his gaze to the Bone Chilling Flame in his palm, Xiao Yu carefully sensed the aura it emitted. He found that it was indeed much weaker than the aura Medicine Elder had emitted when refining medicinal liquid for them earlier.

Still, as a Heavenly Flame, it was stronger than beast flames or flames conjured from Dou Qi. It could serve as one of his trump cards.

After putting away the Heavenly Flame and finishing his breathing adjustment, Xiao Yu opened the system panel again.

Main Quest: None

Looking at the system panel, Xiao Yu saw that he had only accumulated a little over three hundred experience points. He was still short of reaching Level 4, and he wondered whether the system would unlock new functions after leveling up again.

As for his strength, after the soul tempering and absorbing the Heavenly Flame just now, he had actually risen directly from a One-Star Dou Zhe to a Six-Star Dou Zhe.

This rate of improvement was simply more terrifying than Xiao Yan's.

Now that he had reached Six-Star Dou Zhe, as long as he did not foolishly provoke anyone at the Da Dou Shi level or above, he should be able to retreat unscathed with the cards he held.

But compared to all that, Xiao Yu felt that absorbing Medicine Elder's soul was also an unexpectedly pleasant gain tonight.

Although he could not absorb Medicine Elder's soul completely in one go, after tonight's soul tempering, Xiao Yu had gained quite a bit of Medicine Elder's alchemy experience, as well as some Dou Techniques.

At this point, that alchemy experience and those Dou Techniques were far more helpful to him than the Heavenly Flame.

Looking up at the starry sea of this foreign world, Xiao Yu quieted down for the first time and truly admired it. He wondered whether one of those brilliant stars in the sky was his hometown.

Under the blazing sun, a convoy slowly made its way forward.

"Everyone, rest where you are for a while. We'll try to reach Green Mountain Town before sunset today."

Apparently noticing the exhaustion among the mercenary group, a bearded burly man in the convoy looked at the weary crowd around him and shouted.

"Once we reach Green Mountain Town, we'll replenish our supplies and rest for the night. Tomorrow, we'll enter the Magic Beast Mountain Range."

When the young mercenaries around them heard the bearded man's words, they all revealed eager expressions. Only some seemingly seasoned mercenaries became even more vigilant, while also sharing their adventuring experience with the younger mercenaries.

But how could these proud young mercenaries listen to their elders' experience? In their eyes, these were merely cowards frightened out of their wits by adventure.

Watching this scene, Xiao Yu slowly walked toward the bearded man.

He had encountered this mercenary group called Fire Wolf during his journey. Upon learning that they were headed for Green Mountain Town, Xiao Yu had asked the leader for a favor and traveled with them.

Xiao Yu planned to visit Xiao Yi Xian, the woman who had caught his eye in the novel in his previous life. No matter what, he had to see her for himself.

Thinking about how kind-hearted Xiao Yi Xian had been at first, only to become a poison doctor feared by everyone after suffering the torment of the Calamity Poison Body...

If possible, Xiao Yu was quite willing to help this unfortunate girl.

With that thought, Xiao Yu walked over to the bearded man. "Captain Fire Wolf."

He slowly said, "Green Mountain Town isn't far from here, and I must thank you for taking care of me along the way."

"I'll be leaving first, so I won't trouble you any longer."

Looking at Xiao Yu, who had come to bid farewell, Fire Wolf could not help but feel regretful. This little brother was so young, yet his skills were exceptional. At such an age, he had already broken through to Dou Zhe.

Unfortunately, his small Fire Wolf Mercenary Group could not accommodate such a great figure.

Fire Wolf clasped his hands toward Xiao Yu and smiled. "Brother Xiao, you're too polite. We merely provided you with a few conveniences along the way. It hardly counts as taking care of you."

"Brother Xiao is strong. Even without us, reaching Green Mountain Town would only have been a matter of time. Then I wish Brother Xiao smooth sailing on the path of cultivation. If fate permits, we'll meet again. Farewell."

Afterward, Xiao Yu asked Fire Wolf for directions. While the others set up camp and rested, he dashed toward Green Mountain Town.

Before long, as the number of passing travelers and mercenaries gradually increased, Green Mountain Town came into view.

As the last small town before entering the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Green Mountain Town was far more prosperous than other towns. It could even rival some smaller cities.

Countless mercenaries came and went.

Some mercenary groups wore broad smiles, making it obvious that they had just returned from the Magic Beast Mountain Range with great gains. But even more people carried wounded and crippled mercenaries on stretchers, their faces pale as they headed out of town.

Many mercenaries dreamed of getting rich and casually formed groups before heading into the Magic Beast Mountain Range. Only after witnessing the mountain range's horrors did they regret it. By then, the lucky ones could at least keep their lives, while many more died in the jaws of magic beasts.

Xiao Yu no longer paid attention to them. With a clear destination in mind, he headed toward Thousand Medicine Hall in the depths of the town.
