Qingshan Town's Medical Fairy

[After leaving the Xiao Clan, Medicine Elder explained the path of training to you in detail.]

[You needed to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range from Wutan City, cross through it, and reach the Tagor Desert.]

[Finally, Medicine Elder gave you a pitch-black giant ruler forged entirely from Flame Meteoric Black Iron, which you had to carry even while eating and sleeping.]

[It possessed the miraculous effect of suppressing Dou Qi. If you could wield it, it would leave everyone stunned when you fought others in the future.]

[You chose...]

[A: Refuse to carry it. What if your strength was suppressed and you died at an enemy's hands before you could amaze everyone?]

[B: Say nothing and carry it immediately.]

Seeing the long-absent choice appear, Xiao Yan directly chose B.

Since Medicine Elder had already taken the item out, he definitely wouldn't allow him to refuse.

Xiao Yan trusted that his body, nourished by the tier-eight Primordial Origin Pill, wouldn't be exhausted to death by carrying such a thing.

[Over several days of travel, you carried the pitch-black giant ruler the entire time.]

[Although the giant ruler was very heavy, your physical condition was astonishing. At first, you only felt somewhat tired, but after two or three days, you adapted to its weight.]

[Your strength, far exceeding that of an ordinary Dou Zhe, greatly shocked Medicine Elder.]

[At the Thousand Medicines Hall pharmacy in Qingshan Town, you encountered a high-grade medicinal ingredient being sold as Yellow Lotus Essence when it was actually Blood Lotus Essence.]

[After spending one hundred gold coins to buy it, you chose...]

[A: Continue buying Yellow Lotus Essence similar to Blood Lotus Essence, preparing to strike it lucky again.]

[B: Turn around and leave.]

Xiao Yan chose A without the slightest hesitation.

In the simulation, Medicine Elder had mentioned that if he wanted to fuse with the Heavenly Flame that even Dou Huang experts didn't dare touch lightly with his current strength, he needed three indispensable supporting items.

The three items were the Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and Naling.

Blood Lotus Essence was one of the materials needed to refine the Blood Lotus Pill. Its value alone was far beyond that of Yellow Lotus Essence, so naturally, the more the better.

[You bought all the Yellow Lotus Essence in the shop. Unfortunately, you didn't find any more Blood Lotus Essence.]

"I lost out." Xiao Yan raised a hand and smacked his forehead, silently remembering the lesson. He couldn't be so greedy in the future.

[As you packed up and prepared to leave, you were drawn by a commotion not far away.]

Amid the crowd, a woman in a white dress stood out vividly. Her calm, smiling face exuded a fresh, ethereal aura. That distinctive temperament greatly enhanced the charm of a woman who was already a rare beauty.

A green sash was tied around the woman's slender waist. Looking at that willow waist, too slim to fill even one hand, a trace of amazement flashed through Xiao Yan's eyes.

Among the women Xiao Yan knew, Xun'er was most captivating for her flawless beauty and mystery. Ya Fei possessed a seductive charm that made her a true temptress, while Xiao Yu's sexy, slender jade legs always made his gaze linger over them.

As for this woman in white before him, she was probably the one with the most delicate and fragile waist of them all.

[While you were marveling, a clerk introduced the woman's identity. Her name was Little Fairy Doctor. She was a physician specially hired by Thousand Medicines Hall and was very popular in Qingshan Town.]

[After resting for a night, you joined the herb-gathering team Little Fairy Doctor belonged to.]

[To compete with others for the final spot, you revealed strength roughly equivalent to a two-star Dou Zhe, making no one dare underestimate you.]

[After entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range for some time, the team encountered an attack by magical beasts.]

[Although the Mysterious Heavy Ruler suppressed your strength, your terrifying power still allowed you to kill a first-tier magical beast, a Snake-Tailed Leopard. This made the mercenaries view you in a new light.]

[As camp was set up at dusk, you went outside the woods to relieve yourself and unexpectedly spotted a medicinal herb by a cliff: a White Orchid Fruit.]

[Just as you were about to pick it, a small hand as white as jade reached up from below the cliff.]

[Seeing that gentle, beautiful face suffused with an ethereal aura, you recognized the woman as Little Fairy Doctor.]

[After pulling her up, Little Fairy Doctor gave the White Orchid Fruit to you because you recognized it.]

[Watching Little Fairy Doctor leave in a hurry, you felt that something was off. Thinking of how she had appeared, you suspected there was something below the cliff.]

[You leaned over to look down, then suddenly sensed something wrong. The instant you turned back, a cloud of white powder flew into your face.]

[Little Fairy Doctor had attacked you. Looking at your unconscious body, she prepared to tie you up.]

[Having detected the danger a step earlier, you abruptly opened your eyes beneath Little Fairy Doctor's incredulous gaze.]

[After subduing Little Fairy Doctor, you prepared to...]

[A: Kill Little Fairy Doctor for attacking you from the shadows, then explore below the cliff alone.]

[B: Threaten her with rape and interrogate her about what lay below the cliff.]

[C: Threaten her with the Mating Ape Magical Beast that liked humans and interrogate her about what lay below the cliff.]

After reading the first option, Xiao Yan immediately ruled it out.

Little Fairy Doctor was highly popular among the mercenaries. If she disappeared for too long, it would inevitably draw their attention. Even if he found something below the cliff, it would be difficult for him to leave.

After reading the latter two options, Xiao Yan took a deep breath. Could a human even come up with methods like these?

Between the two rather perverse options, Xiao Yan silently chose C, the relatively more perverse one.

[You threatened her with the Mating Ape Magical Beast that liked humans. Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face turned slightly pale, and she immediately spilled everything she knew.]

[In truth, she didn't know much either. She only knew there was a hidden cave, but unfortunately, she hadn't entered it yet.]

[Since you had been out for quite some time, you agreed to explore it again at night to avoid attracting attention.]

[Night fell. You wrapped an arm around Little Fairy Doctor's exquisite, slender waist. Her soft, fragrant body made your heart tremble, and wicked desire began to stir within you.]

[Urged on by Little Fairy Doctor, you approached the cave's location.]

[In the darkness, you were attacked by a Rock Snake.]

[With Little Fairy Doctor's unconsciousness-inducing powder and your powerful strength, the Rock Snake stiffened all over and fell from the cliff.]

[After entering the cave, you walked along the pitch-black passage for quite a while before a stone door appeared before you.]

[Unable to stop in time, Little Fairy Doctor crashed into your back.]

[Two soft, upturned mounds were immediately compressed by the impact into two soft, round discs.]

[After finding the mechanism beneath the stone door, Little Fairy Doctor opened it.]

[Behind the stone door were three stone boxes, several hundred thousand gold coins, and a flower bed planted with many medicinal herbs. The Ice Spirit Flame Grass needed to refine the Blood Lotus Pill was among them.]

[After discussing it, you took the Ice Spirit Flame Grass and one-third of the herbs, while Little Fairy Doctor took two-thirds.]

[While Little Fairy Doctor dug up the herbs, you searched for the keys to the stone boxes.]

[After finding the key on a skeleton's arm, you accidentally caused the dried bone arm to fall off. Sensing something was wrong, you found a drawing within the gaps of the arm bones.]

[After waiting for Little Fairy Doctor to finish her work, you began opening the stone boxes with her as a witness.]

[The stone boxes were extremely difficult to open. After expending considerable effort, you opened two of them. One contained a flying Dou Technique, while the other was the Poison Scripture for making poison.]

[Just as you prepared to open the third stone box, a group of mercenaries burst into the stone chamber.]

[It turned out Little Fairy Doctor's assistant, Liffy, had leaked the secret to Mu Li.]

[Facing more than a dozen mercenaries, you chose...]
