Leaving the Little Valley

After the Delicious Powder was refined, the aroma it gave off was neither a pill fragrance nor a medicinal scent, but rather the smell of food.

Xiao Yang and the Little Fairy Doctor took a whiff, and their mouths immediately began producing saliva like crazy as their stomachs grew even hungrier.

"Gurgle~"

Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly heard a faint sound from beside him.

He turned his head and saw the Little Fairy Doctor blushing as she looked away toward the sky.

This fog was really foggy indeed!

Xiao Yang did not expose her.

With a casual motion, he stored the Delicious Powder in a jade bottle.

Then, he sprinkled a little Delicious Powder over the beef.

In an instant, the Delicious Powder actually seeped directly into the beef.

The next moment, the beef suddenly released an even richer fragrance.

Never mind the Little Fairy Doctor—even Xiao Yang, who had already reached the Dou Master realm, felt terribly hungry at that moment.

He hurriedly cut the beef open.

The inside of the beef was full of juices and still had a faint pink color.

Seeing the Little Fairy Doctor's face full of longing, Xiao Yang quickly cut her a slice.

The Little Fairy Doctor did not stand on ceremony. She immediately took it and bit down.

"Mmm—"

After that bite, the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes instantly lit up.

She could not even be bothered to speak and immediately began wolfing it down.

Watching the Little Fairy Doctor devour it so eagerly only made Xiao Yang feel hungrier.

He hurriedly cut a slice for himself as well.

At that point, he could not care about anything else and simply used his hands.

He took a bite of the beef, and his first impression was simple: fragrant!

After being grilled, the beef was not as tough as Xiao Yang had expected.

The outer layer had developed a Maillard reaction, while the inside remained soft and tender.

Then, a richly layered flavor exploded in his mouth.

It was so delicious!

Xiao Yang somewhat regretted not discovering the Delicious Powder sooner.

He had somehow failed to notice it all this time.

Very quickly, he finished a piece of beef.

He hurriedly cut himself another piece.

Just like that, Xiao Yang did not stop until he had eaten more than ten pounds of beef.

It was not just Xiao Yang. Even the Little Fairy Doctor ate several pieces of beef.

The Little Fairy Doctor's originally flat belly had even become slightly rounded.

At that moment, the Little Fairy Doctor rubbed her stomach, her face full of happiness.

"This beef is so delicious!"

"And that Delicious Powder—the name really wasn't wrong!"

The Little Fairy Doctor did not dare sit down, afraid she would feel too stuffed, so she could only stand beside Xiao Yang and sigh.

Xiao Yang nodded in wholehearted agreement.

"This stuff is genuinely delicious. I'll refine more of it to keep on hand in the future!"

After resting for a while, the two returned to their own rooms.

Over the next several days, Xiao Yang did not leave the little valley.

He kept repairing his left leg.

He continuously used soul power to set his bones, ensuring that the bones in his leg did not grow crooked.

His left leg gradually recovered at a visible pace.

Over those days, he also multitasked, casually refining some third-grade and fourth-grade spiritual weapons.

Of course, he also refined some Delicious Powder to keep in reserve.

During those days, Xiao Yang and the Little Fairy Doctor ate grilled beef every day.

Other Magical Beast meat truly did not taste as good when grilled as the meat of a Fourth-Order Forestbone Demon Bull.

Even after eating it for several days straight, neither of them grew tired of it.

With Delicious Powder, the beef from a Forestbone Demon Bull tasted good whether it was pan-fried, grilled, stewed, boiled, or stir-fried.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

After a month, Xiao Yang's leg had fully recovered.

His leg was now no different from before.

Looking at his more than fifty million experience points, Xiao Yang felt that it was time to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

He did not intend to hunt a few more Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

He still knew his own limits.

The Forestbone Demon Bull was not particularly powerful among Fourth-Order Magical Beasts. It was merely thick-skinned.

Its attack power was relatively low among Fourth-Order Magical Beasts.

Moreover, Xiao Yang's Burning Flame Palm happened to counter it.

If not for all these factors combined, Xiao Yang could not have killed a Fourth-Order Magical Beast so easily.

If he encountered other Fourth-Order Magical Beasts next time, Xiao Yang might be forced to break through.

Most Fourth-Order Magical Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range were subordinates of Fifth-Order and Sixth-Order Magical Beasts, so this was not a suitable place to slaughter Fourth-Order Magical Beasts recklessly.

Xiao Yang planned to continue searching for Magical Beasts to hunt in the forest near Canaan Academy afterward.

Having made his decision, Xiao Yang packed away the things in his wooden cabin.

He walked out of the cabin and saw the Little Fairy Doctor gathering herbs in the distance.

He headed directly toward her.

"I'm preparing to leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range. I'll take you with me."

Xiao Yang had promised to protect the Little Fairy Doctor and take her away, so since he was leaving, he naturally had to tell her.

The Little Fairy Doctor did not hesitate in the slightest. She looked directly at Xiao Yang and said,

"I'll go with you!"

Xiao Yang was not surprised either. He nodded and said,

"Then we'll pack up today and leave tomorrow."

"If there are any herbs you want to take with you, pick them quickly. Who knows when we'll come back next time?"

Hearing this, the Little Fairy Doctor nodded and began gathering herbs faster.

Xiao Yang did the same.

He picked and stored away every herb that he might need.

Although Xiao Yang could buy those herbs directly from the shop, and he had quite a few points now, he would not waste them carelessly.

If he could get something for free, why would he pay for it?

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The Little Fairy Doctor looked somewhat reluctant as she glanced at her grass hut.

However, when she saw Xiao Yang beside her, all the reluctance in her eyes vanished.

The Little Fairy Doctor took out a whistle and blew it several times.

Soon, a massive figure descended from the sky.

It was the Little Fairy Doctor's Blue Eagle!

Compared to a few months ago, the Blue Eagle was now much larger!

Although Xiao Yang had taken the Magic Cores from the Magical Beasts he hunted during this time,

much of their meat had ended up in Xiao Lan's stomach.

As a result, in just a few months, Xiao Lan had actually broken through and become a Second Tier Magical Beast!

"Shriek!"

After landing, Xiao Lan obediently nuzzled Xiao Yang and the Little Fairy Doctor.

Its attitude toward Xiao Yang was now as good as its attitude toward the Little Fairy Doctor. After all, Xiao Yang had fed it far too many good things lately.

The two climbed directly onto the Blue Eagle's back, and the Little Fairy Doctor said to Xiao Lan,

"Xiao Lan, take us back to Qingshan Town first."

The Little Fairy Doctor had hastily left with Xiao Yang because of Mu Li's death.

She had left many things behind at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

The Little Fairy Doctor also knew just how strong Xiao Yang was, so she was not worried about the threat posed by Mu She and his mercenary group.

After obtaining Xiao Yang's agreement, she planned to return to Qingshan Town to retrieve some things before leaving with him.

Upon hearing the Little Fairy Doctor's command, Xiao Lan lightly flapped its wings and flew directly toward Qingshan Town.

Soon, after flying for some time, Xiao Yang and the Little Fairy Doctor saw the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range and spotted Qingshan Town in the distance.
