After bickering with Little Fairy Doctor for a while, the two found the mechanism beside the stone door.

Pressing down the protrusion, a series of creaking sounds rang out.

As the stone door steadily rose, faint light gradually dispelled the darkness within the cave.

When the stone door had fully opened, a bright and spacious stone chamber appeared in its place.

At the sight of the bright, spacious chamber before them, Little Fairy Doctor smilingly stepped aside again.

Lei Luo could not help feeling speechless at the sight.

Knowing there was no danger inside, he grabbed her and dragged her in.

"Damn it, can't you be a little steadier when you do things? If you're rushing to reincarnate, don't drag me along!"

The girl's resistance ultimately proved futile.

After being forcibly dragged into the stone chamber by Lei Luo, Little Fairy Doctor widened her bright eyes and began looking around.

The stone chamber appeared rather simple and empty, with moonlight stones embedded in the walls for illumination.

Most horrifying of all, at the center of the chamber stood a chair, upon which sat a desiccated skeleton!

Even more terrifying was that its sunken skull had fallen onto its thigh bones, as though it were cradling it in its hands.

The ghastly sight of the bones made Little Fairy Doctor let out a scream, and it took her quite some time to calm down.

Before the chair stood a broad, long green stone platform, upon which three locked stone boxes were neatly arranged.

Furthermore, in three corners of the stone chamber, piles of glittering gold coins and other precious treasures had been stacked.

In the final corner was a small flower bed built up from soil.

All sorts of flowers and herbs grew within it, and a strange fragrance lingered in the air.

The instant she saw this medicinal garden, Little Fairy Doctor rushed over.

Her eyes shone as she stared at the various precious spiritual herbs before her.

The most eye-catching among them was the Ice Spirit Flame Grass.

As one of the main ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill, Lei Luo naturally would not give it up.

The leaves of the Ice Spirit Flame Grass were white and red. Its white stalk was covered in tiny crystal-like specks.

Yet atop its fiery red crown of grass was something like a blazing flame.

Two utterly opposing colors and attributes had strangely grown upon the same plant, making it truly eye-catching.

Looking at the Ice Spirit Flame Grass before him, which gave off a faint mist, Lei Luo said directly,

"This Ice Spirit Flame Grass is of great use to me. It's mine; all the other medicinal herbs are yours."

Little Fairy Doctor wrinkled her delicate nose at his words. "Annoying fellow, you took the most valuable thing the moment you got here."

Lei Luo smiled awkwardly and then said, "How about all these gold coins and treasures go to you as well?"

Glancing at the spiritual herbs in the medicinal garden, Little Fairy Doctor bit her red lip and nodded in agreement.

The two then took out bottles and jars and began tending to their own tasks.

Since Lei Luo only needed one Ice Spirit Flame Grass, after digging it up, he began wandering around the stone chamber alone.

When he came before the skeleton, he saw the three keys in its hand.

As he yanked out the keys, the skeleton's arm snapped off in response.

Holding the keys, Lei Luo examined the broken arm, searching for the fragmentary map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Sure enough, he found what he wanted within the gaps between the bones.

Secretly storing it in his storage ring, Lei Luo plopped down onto the green stone platform.

By then, Little Fairy Doctor had nearly finished her work as well.

Wiping the fine sweat from her forehead, she looked toward Lei Luo.

"Annoying brat, what are you sitting there for?" Little Fairy Doctor called out loudly.

Lei Luo tossed the keys in his hand. "Wasn't I waiting to open the mystery boxes together with you? Otherwise, if I opened them myself, you'd say I was keeping things for myself."

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience!" Little Fairy Doctor said irritably as she swayed her slender willow-like waist and walked over.

Arriving beside the stone platform, Little Fairy Doctor squatted curiously to one side.

"Quick, open them and take a look."

Lei Luo could not help wanting to laugh at the eager Little Fairy Doctor.

He walked over to the three stone boxes and slowly crouched down, preparing to open them.

Although he knew what was inside, the flying Dou Technique still made his heart burn with anticipation.

After all, flying was the dream of countless people.

Lei Luo was no exception.

He casually inserted a key into the lock of the middle stone box and gave it a gentle twist. With a click, the lock opened.

Reaching inside, Lei Luo took out a scroll.

Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly grabbed his hand. "Are you crazy? Aren't you afraid there might be some mechanism inside?"

Lei Luo raised the scroll in his hand and half-jokingly said, "Isn't that exactly what you wanted?"

Hearing Lei Luo's teasing, Little Fairy Doctor pursed her red lips. "Bah, I was just being a busybody."

With a soft laugh, Lei Luo unfurled the scroll. Upon seeing the large words written on it, Little Fairy Doctor clearly lost interest.

"A high-tier Xuan-class Dou Technique, Mad Lion's Roar?"

"Boring. I'm not good at fighting and killing, so it's yours."

Little Fairy Doctor generously pushed the scroll toward Lei Luo, then urged him to continue opening the other two stone boxes.

This time, Lei Luo directly chose the one on the right, which was within easy reach.

After trying twice, the stone box finally opened.

Inside lay an ancient-looking multicolored scroll.

Taking it out, Lei Luo murmured, "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture."

At those words, Little Fairy Doctor snatched the scroll away and unfurled it for inspection.

Not long after, she held the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture like a treasured prize and said, "You can't fight me for this one. I'm just a girl with no strength to even truss a chicken; I'll have to rely on this to protect myself!"

Lei Luo flicked her fair forehead. "This young master is a dignified alchemist. I won't fight you for that thing."

After saying that, he inserted the final key into the stone box on the left.

As the saying went, the speaker had no intention, but the listener took it to heart.

Little Fairy Doctor was currently staring blankly at Lei Luo.

His earlier words kept circling through her mind.

"An alchemist?" Little Fairy Doctor murmured softly.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor stared at Lei Luo, lost in thought, the final stone box opened as well.

Taking out the black scroll inside, Lei Luo finally smiled.

"A high-tier Xuan-class flying Dou Technique, Eagle Wings!"

"Another Dou Technique? But what exactly is a flying Dou Technique?" Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously.

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's confusion, Lei Luo patiently explained it to her.

Although Little Fairy Doctor was deeply shocked after hearing him out, she still could not muster much interest in the Dou Technique. "This Dou Technique is yours."

"So generous? You should know that these two Dou Techniques may be worth even more than the Ice Spirit Flame Grass."

Lei Luo said.

"Mm, it does seem like I'm losing out a little. How about this—once we get out, you have to do me a favor." Little Fairy Doctor crouched halfway down, propping up her little head as she spoke.

Having gotten such a bargain, Lei Luo naturally would not refuse. "Fine. As long as it's something I can do, anything is fine."

Having received his promise, Little Fairy Doctor was clearly in a much better mood. Just as they were about to wrap things up and leave, a teasing voice sounded from beyond the stone door.

"Heh heh, I really have to thank you two for clearing the way..."
