Having received Yao Lao's consent, Xiao Yi Xian was naturally beaming with delight.
After all, she had always been deeply interested in alchemy. Ever since Xiao Fan had helped her become capable of refining pills, she had never slackened in her efforts.
Throughout her journey, from leaving the Chu Yun Empire to her time roaming the Central Plains, Xiao Yi Xian's obsession with alchemy had not diminished in the slightest.
In fact, had the many dangers along the way not cost her so much time, she probably would have devoted all her attention to alchemy.
