The Agreement

"Gulp!"

Mr. Yao's body stiffened.

At that moment, his entire body turned ice-cold, and he cursed the bastards who had spread the news without end.

Blinded by thoughts of seizing the treasure, Mr. Yao had clearly failed to realize that his strength was nowhere near Mu She's.

Could a mere one-star Dou Master handle someone even Mu She and the entire Wolfhead Mercenary Group could not deal with?

The answer was naturally no.

Before he could react, the four guards beside him had already collapsed limply to the ground.

They did not even let out a scream before losing their lives just like that.

In truth, Lei Luo had not made a move.

Little Fairy Doctor had poisoned them.

That girl's methods were so brilliant that even Lei Luo felt a chill in his heart.

Because even he had no idea when she had acted.

Looking at his lifeless subordinates, Mr. Yao's expression became exceedingly ugly.

"Little Fairy Doctor, what do you mean by this?"

Hearing Mr. Yao's questioning, Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly. "Isn't what I mean already quite clear? Oh, rather than worrying about me, why don't you check whether your right palm has turned a little blue?"

Mr. Yao's expression changed upon hearing her words, and he hurriedly opened his palm to inspect it.

Seeing the faint bluish tinge in his palm, Mr. Yao shouted anxiously, "You dare poison me?"

"Hehe, Mr. Yao, you should know very well how effective the medicine I concocted is."

"In one month, the poison will flare up. At best, it will cause mental paralysis. At worst, it will take your life."

Her gentle voice echoed through the room, yet despite the scorching summer heat, it made Mr. Yao feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Give me the antidote formula, and I'll let you leave."

Clearly, between his life and the treasure, Mr. Yao chose the former.

Little Fairy Doctor had originally wanted to speak, but Lei Luo cut her off first.

"Mr. Yao? I think you may have gotten something wrong."

"Let us leave? Are you worthy?"

The moment Lei Luo's teasing voice sounded, Mr. Yao's expression changed. He suddenly shot toward the door, intending to flee.

But even a battle-hardened two-star Dou Master like Mu She could not withstand a single move from Lei Luo. What chance did Mr. Yao, a mere one-star Dou Master, have of surviving?

He fled quickly, but Lei Luo was faster.

The speed of a high-grade Earth-rank movement Dou Technique was simply beyond anything he could contend with.

Amid a thunderous burst of wind and lightning, Mr. Yao could only watch helplessly as the youth captured him.

Holding Mr. Yao up with one hand, Lei Luo looked at Little Fairy Doctor as she stepped out of the room. "I said I would make you the new owner of Myriad Medicine Hall, and I will definitely do it."

Hearing the sweet words exchanged between the two, Mr. Yao finally broke down.

"This young brother, I'll give you Myriad Medicine Hall. I can give you anything. I have plenty of money too—whatever you want, I can give it to you. Please show mercy and spare this lowly one's life."

The middle-aged man begged Lei Luo repeatedly.

"Anything?"

Lei Luo asked teasingly.

"Anything! As long as you agree to spare my life, all my wealth will be yours!"

But before Mr. Yao could finish, he felt a wave of intense pain strike him, and then he lost consciousness.

Looking at Mr. Yao, whose consciousness was gradually fading in his hand, Lei Luo said with great seriousness, "Foolish. If I kill you, it'll all be mine anyway!"

Little Fairy Doctor could not help laughing at Lei Luo's words.

"You're really cruel. You won't even let him die in peace."

After dealing with the scene, Lei Luo wiped his hands and walked over to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Beautiful lady, would you be interested in taking a look at your own property?" As he spoke, Lei Luo gave a gentlemanly bow and extended his arm.

Dressed in a white skirt, Little Fairy Doctor laughed so hard at his antics that she bent over, though she still placed her hand in his.

Holding Little Fairy Doctor's soft, boneless jade hand, the two strolled through the streets as they headed toward Myriad Medicine Hall.

This was also a signal Lei Luo was sending to Green Mountain Town.

The two dominant forces of Green Mountain Town had both fallen into his hands. Those people should know to behave themselves now.

As for Myriad Medicine Hall, Lei Luo naturally would not hand it directly over to Little Fairy Doctor.

It was not that he did not trust her. Rather, he was worried.

Green Mountain Town was too chaotic.

As a transportation hub of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, no description suited it better than a place where all sorts of people mingled.

There was no telling whether those desperadoes might target Little Fairy Doctor again.

To be safe, Lei Luo had notified Ying Jia in advance and asked him to send people over to help.

After all, the loyalty of the Miter Family's hidden guards was beyond doubt.

After wandering around the streets for a while and taking over Myriad Medicine Hall, the two finally returned to discussing serious matters.

"After I leave, someone will come protect you. Cultivate properly and improve your strength."

"Once I have sufficient strength, I will naturally help you refine a poison pill and resolve the troubles caused by your constitution."

Lei Luo said to Little Fairy Doctor.

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor stared blankly at Lei Luo. "Why are you so good to me?"

Shrugging, Lei Luo said, "That is our agreement, isn't it?"

After receiving his answer, Little Fairy Doctor was stunned at first. Then she sniffled and said, "Then can we make another agreement?"

Lei Luo looked at Little Fairy Doctor seriously and nodded. "Go ahead."

Having received his agreement, Little Fairy Doctor smiled brilliantly.

Like warm sunlight in winter, it made Lei Luo's heart grow warm.

"Later, if you still cannot help me resolve this poison body, you must come back to see me, all right?"

Hearing the faint sob in Little Fairy Doctor's voice, Lei Luo felt a sharp pain in his heart. He wanted nothing more than to pull the lovely girl before him into his arms and comfort her properly.

But when he recalled Little Fairy Doctor's terrifying skill with poisons, Lei Luo dismissed the excessive thoughts in his heart.

He gently scraped the tip of the girl's nose and said softly, "Don't worry. I definitely will."

For the next week, Lei Luo focused on learning the two Dou Techniques he had just acquired.

Mad Lion's Roar was also a high-grade Mystic-rank Dou Technique, so it took Lei Luo considerable effort to master it.

After successfully cultivating Mad Lion's Roar, Lei Luo prepared to cultivate the flying Dou Technique Eagle Wings—or rather, Purple Cloud Wings.

He took out the scroll, untied the ribbon binding it, and slowly spread it open.

Once the scroll opened, a pair of black wings so dark they sent chills through one's heart came into view.

Reading the description on the scroll, Lei Luo slowly placed his hand upon it.

The instant his fingers made contact, a surge of soul force filled with savage and violent intent rushed into his mind.

Fortunately, as an alchemist who had lived two lives, his soul force was far tougher than that of an ordinary person, so it did not affect him much.

Resisting the soul attack contained within the scroll meant Lei Luo possessed the basic qualifications to cultivate Purple Cloud Wings.

Next came the actual cultivation.

Following the cultivation method recorded on the scroll, Lei Luo began circulating his Dou Qi.

When the Dou Qi gathered in his palm, purple-black light suddenly blazed from the scroll!

Two streams of dim light shot through his palm into Lei Luo's meridians, then reached the meridians along his back.

Not only that, those two energies forcibly expanded the meridians in his back, creating two branches.

Then, wave-like agony swept over him!
