Xiao Yi Xian

Just then, Jiang Xian received a notification from the chat group: it had unlocked a brand-new livestreaming feature.

[Jiang Xian: "The chat group just added a livestreaming feature. Xiao Yan, when you go to subdue the Green Lotus Core Flame, why not start a stream while you're at it? I want to see what the livestreaming feature is like."]

[Fang Han: "Brother Jiang, what does livestreaming mean?"]

[Jiang Xian: "Livestreaming shows real scenes happening in a world at that very moment. We can watch all the people and events Xiao Yan experiences firsthand over there, but we can only watch, not directly interfere with that world."]

[Fang Han: "I understand."]

[Ye Fan: "There's even a livestreaming feature? I want to see it too."]

[Shi Hao: "That sounds amazing."]

[Xiao Yan: "No problem. I'll start a stream for everyone when I reach the Tagor Desert."]

Xiao Yan gave Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Zhan one Immortal Blood Pill each, then switched the chat group to offline mode. He prepared to set off for the Tagor Desert.

A blazing sun hung high in the azure sky, its scorching light spilling over the Magical Beast Mountain Range. With his signature weapon on his back, Xiao Yan was making his way toward the mountains.

After two days of trekking, Xiao Yan was almost at the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Before entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan decided to rest in Qingshan Town for a day.

Upon entering Qingshan Town, Xiao Yan soon spotted a shop called the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

[Xiao Yan: "Photo.jpg. Group leader, I've reached Qingshan Town. I'm planning to pick up the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map while I'm here."]

[Jiang Xian: "Flame Emperor, do you still remember Xiao Yi Xian from Qingshan Town back then? Mischievous grin.jpg."]

[Xiao Yan: "Don't mess with me! Brother Jiang, you know me. Even in the future timeline, I always treated Xiao Yi Xian as a little sister."]

[Jiang Xian: "True, but the spirited young Flame Emperor really is charming. Most girls couldn't possibly resist him, hahaha."]

[Xiao Yan: "Brother Jiang, stop teasing me. By the way, is there any way to resolve Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body ahead of time?"]

[Jiang Xian: "I don't have any good ideas for that either. We'll have to see whether Fang Han can obtain the Great Poison Technique later, or you can use Yao Lao's method from the original timeline."]

[Fang Han: "Xiao Yan, if I obtain the Great Poison Technique, I'll send it to you right away. But you should prepare for your teacher's method in the meantime too."]

[Xiao Yan: "All right, I'll start preparing according to my teacher's method."]

Xiao Yan walked into the Myriad Medicine Pavilion, and Yao Lao alerted him to a stalk of Blood Lotus Essence inside.

Although he had already cultivated Red Emperor Fire Emperor Qi and had no need to refine a Blood Lotus Pill, he still bought it out of an alchemist's instinct. It took little effort.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to leave, a slender, graceful figure came into view.

The girl wore a plain moon-white dress made of simple fabric, without any lavish patterns or ornamentation. A pale green sash around her waist made it look particularly slender. Half of her long, smooth black hair was simply pinned up, while the rest fell over her shoulders. Her beauty was not breathtaking, but she possessed an ethereal gentleness that soothed the heart. Her curved brows were soft and relaxed, and her eyes were clear and pure, like an undisturbed spring in the mountains.

Looking at the girl, Xiao Yan guessed that she was Xiao Yi Xian. He had a strange feeling now: he did not know Xiao Yi Xian, and Xiao Yi Xian did not know him, yet he knew about her.

After a glance, Xiao Yan left the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.

The next day, Xiao Yan heard that the Myriad Medicine Pavilion was heading into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs. He thought that by following this party and Xiao Yi Xian, he should be able to find the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map.

Xiao Yan displayed his Dou Qi as a Nine-Star Dou Zhe, stunning all the mercenaries. He joined the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's party without any trouble.

After traveling through the Magical Beast Mountain Range for a while, Xiao Yan followed Xiao Yi Xian to the edge of a cliff.

Only then did Xiao Yan slowly step out, a relaxed, teasing smile on his face, and speak to break the silence.

"Xiao Yi Xian, what are you planning to do, coming all the way to this cliff alone?"

The sudden voice made Xiao Yi Xian stiffen in fright. She spun around and saw Xiao Yan standing a short distance away. Panic instantly filled her eyes, and her slender hand instinctively tightened around a packet of white knockout powder inside her sleeve.

She had intended to descend the cliff alone and investigate the secrets of that hidden cave, never expecting Xiao Yan to follow her here. In her panic, her mind raced. With a slight movement of her arm, she was about to scatter the knockout powder in her sleeve toward Xiao Yan, hoping to knock him unconscious first and then find a chance to escape.

But Xiao Yan had already seen through her intentions. Before the powder could fly out, he restrained Xiao Yi Xian.

Striking suddenly, Xiao Yan instantly stopped her from raising her hand. The powder in her sleeve remained trapped in her palm, leaving her unable to scatter it. Xiao Yi Xian's pupils contracted slightly as she stared at the young man before her in astonishment. His movement in that instant had far exceeded her expectations.

Xiao Yan walked slowly forward, his tone steady. He simply stopped beating around the bush and stated why he had come.

"Don't waste your effort. There's something I've been searching desperately for in the cave below that cliff."

Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face paled. She pressed her lips together slightly, unsure how to respond.

"You don't need to be nervous." Xiao Yan softened his tone and looked toward the churning mist below the cliff. "There's a map I need in that cave. If I find it, everything else inside is yours."

Under the circumstances, Xiao Yi Xian could only agree. The two soon entered the cave. Xiao Yan found the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map and put it in his Storage Ring, leaving everything else to Xiao Yi Xian.

As the two were about to leave, Xiao Yan suddenly spoke. "Xiao Yi Xian, do you want to resolve your Woeful Poison Body?"

"The Woeful Poison Body? Are you talking about my constitution?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in confusion.

"Yes, that's right. With your constitution, doesn't any poison you ingest turn into a special kind of poisonous Qi, while your strength rises rapidly? The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture you just obtained also explains it in detail," Xiao Yan said.

Those words exploded like thunder in Xiao Yi Xian's heart. The young man before her actually knew so much about a constitution that even she only half understood. She raised her puzzled eyes and stared intently at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yi Xian quickly finished reading the description of the Woeful Poison Body in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture she held. After reading it, she fell silent.

"Xiao Yi Xian, I can help you resolve your Woeful Poison Body. In return, how about joining the faction I establish in the future?" Xiao Yan asked.

"All right." After thinking it over, Xiao Yi Xian agreed.

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief. This way, he had neither gotten romantically involved with Xiao Yi Xian nor lost the chance to resolve her Woeful Poison Body.

Xiao Yan also told Xiao Yi Xian to wait for him; he would come to her once he had gathered all the materials needed to resolve her Woeful Poison Body.

Before leaving Qingshan Town, Xiao Yan sent the key members of the Wolf Fang Mercenary Group to their deaths with a single Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus to ensure Xiao Yi Xian's safety.
