Heading to the Wolf Head Mercenary Group

Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at Xiao Ni. At that moment, an inexplicable warmth and confidence rose in her heart, but she quickly revealed a self-mocking smile. "I appreciate your kindness, but... you really can't help me."

She knew her own condition too well. No one could possibly improve her physique, and becoming an alchemist was even more of an impossible dream. Xiao Ni—he absolutely could not help her.

"Xun'er believes in Brother Xiao Ni's abilities. If you don't let Brother Xiao Ni try, you might regret it," Xiao Xun'er said, tilting her head toward Xiao Yi Xian with a sweet, captivating smile that even made Xiao Yi Xian's heart skip a beat.

"Y-you... what grade alchemist are you?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Xun'er, then at Xiao Ni with uncertainty before cautiously asking.

At that, Xiao Xun'er smiled as she fixed her gaze on Xiao Ni.

"I only started learning alchemy these past two years, so I've barely reached the level of a Third-Grade Alchemist," Xiao Ni said, clearing his throat and casually showing off.

Everyone around them widened their eyes in shock.

Heavens, this kid was actually a Third-Grade Alchemist. Qing Mountain Town did not even have the shadow of an alchemist, yet a Third-Grade Alchemist this young had appeared today. It seemed the Wolf Head Mercenary Group had truly kicked an iron plate this time.

"You became a Third-Grade Alchemist in two years?!" Xiao Yi Xian stared at Xiao Ni in disbelief, the shock on her face no less than anyone else's.

Xiao Ni looked no more than eighteen or nineteen. Becoming a Second-Grade Alchemist at that age would already have been remarkable, yet he claimed to be a Third-Grade Alchemist. With such talent in alchemy, perhaps he would surpass Pill King Gu He within twenty years?

"Oh, two months would have been enough, but I was too lazy, so it took me as long as two years," Xiao Ni continued showing off. This time, not only did Xiao Yi Xian and the surrounding people twitch at the corners of their mouths, even Xiao Xun'er, who was best at controlling her emotions, widened her beautiful eyes to the limit.

Becoming a Third-Grade Alchemist after studying alchemy for two months—if Xiao Ni was not bragging, then even within the Yao Clan of the ancient eight clans, no one could likely match his talent for alchemy.

"Though I don't know exactly what your problem is, I can tell you with certainty that even if an old poison master stood before me, I'd have a seventy percent chance of making him an alchemist. Of course, the prerequisite is that he has both fire and wood attributes." After pondering for a moment, the three moved to a less crowded place, and only then did Xiao Ni speak with complete confidence.

He truly had no way to resolve Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body, but he could ease her suffering and had a way to make her both a poison master and an alchemist.

He believed that once that happened, Xiao Yi Xian's reputation would definitely be no weaker than Xiao Yan's after he had grown up.

Tsk tsk, a powerful poison master combined with a powerful alchemist—when the time came, would those people worship Xiao Yi Xian more, or fear her more?

"Y-you're serious?" Xiao Yi Xian asked blankly.

Xiao Ni's words had been shocking her ever since earlier, making everything feel terribly unreal.

"Although Brother Xiao Ni's words always sound somewhat unreal, he has never bragged. I can guarantee that," Xiao Xun'er said, her eyes narrowing slightly as a faint smile rested on her lips.

Although she had briefly doubted whether Xiao Ni could become a Third-Grade Alchemist in two months, she had now chosen to believe him.

Xiao Ni had indeed never bragged. It was just that recently, he often said startling things, then used facts to prove that he was not boasting. He truly possessed the right to be arrogant, so he should not be saying such things merely to comfort Xiao Yi Xian.

"After two more turns ahead, we'll reach the Wolf Head Mercenary Group." Xiao Yi Xian did not continue discussing alchemists, and her expression became somewhat solemn.

Although her heart had begun to waver, she did not yet understand Xiao Ni and Xun'er. So even if there really was hope, it was difficult for her to entrust herself to these two.

More importantly, she was afraid that after embracing hope, she would still reap disappointment. If that happened, her heart would suffer even greater torment and pain.

Even she did not fully understand her own body. Where did Xiao Ni and Xun'er get such confidence? They were probably just comforting or coaxing her.

"I wonder how strong the Wolf Head Mercenary Group is?" Xiao Xun'er asked calmly, and Xiao Yi Xian immediately revealed an awkward yet polite smile.

What the hell? Weren't you two planning to wipe out the Wolf Head Mercenary Group? How could you not even know their strength?

Then again, Xiao Ni was a Third-Grade Alchemist. If he truly could not defeat Mu She and the others, he should have a way to escape, or quickly summon some powerful experts. Perhaps there were already experts secretly protecting them.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Yi Xian casually glanced toward a spot behind them. Ling Ying's heart immediately jolted. Damn, I've been discovered again!

"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group has three leaders. Mu She is a Two-Star Dou Master, while the other two leaders, Gan Mu and He Meng, are a Nine-Star Fighter and an Eight-Star Dou Practitioner respectively. Almost everyone else is below the Five-Star Dou Practitioner level." Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Ni in astonishment. Seeing that he seemed to be waiting for her to speak, she could only introduce them helplessly.

"The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is this weak? Looks like I won't need to make a move." Xiao Xun'er gave Xiao Ni an odd look. She decided that she would stand aside and leave everything to Xiao Ni.

"You don't need to dirty your hands on this bunch of trash. Your training is still waiting for you in the Magic Beast Mountain Range." Xiao Ni smiled and rubbed Xiao Xun'er's head. He already had some plans in mind for Xiao Xun'er's path of growth.

Xiao Xun'er truly needed battle to accelerate her growth, but he would not let her fight scum like Gan Mu and He Meng. Those two were notorious lechers. Even if Xiao Xun'er had the strength to kill them, he did not want her to have any physical contact with them whatsoever.

"Just how strong is this guy?" Xiao Yi Xian looked Xiao Ni up and down, inwardly stunned.

She had not expected Xun'er to have such confidence in Xiao Ni. It seemed Xiao Ni's strength was far more terrifying than she had imagined.

"It's right ahead." Five minutes later, Xiao Yi Xian raised her hand and pointed toward a spot twenty or thirty meters away. Xiao Ni gripped the Black Heavy Ruler, a thin layer of lightning covering the soles of his feet as his body shot forward like an arrow released from its bow.

Bang!

Xiao Ni swung the Black Heavy Ruler and severed the iron gate, his figure already arriving fifty or sixty meters ahead of Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian.

What Xiao Ni had used was Thunder Flash Across a Thousand Miles, evolved from the Thunder Shadow Step. This Dou Technique placed extremely high demands on one's strength and stamina. At present, he could move only five or six hundred meters at most, and could use it only three times. In other words, after teleporting roughly fifteen hundred meters each time, he had to recover his stamina. It was truly inconvenient.

Once he became a Battle Venerable, a single flash would allow him to travel thousands of miles. Its practical use would not be inferior to flight in the slightest.

"Wolf Head Mercenary Group scum, get out here! I'm here to send you on your way!"
