Starting as a supporting character in Doupo

After finding an inn not far from Wan Yao Zhai to stay at, Xiao Fan waited for Little Fairy Doctor to quietly head to the cave where the secret treasure was hidden.

Night fell quickly, and under the cover of darkness, a petite figure quietly slipped out of the Wan Yao Zhai.

After cautiously surveying their surroundings, they ventured out of Qingshan Town via a little-known alley.

Xiao Fan, who had been observing from the shadows, quietly followed behind, using the cover of night to follow the shadowy figure all the way to the edge of a cliff.

The pure white moonlight shone on the figure on the cliff edge. The fair face glowed faintly in the moonlight, and the charming lips were slightly pouting. It was none other than the Little Fairy Doctor who healed and saved people during the day.

Little Fairy Doctor peered over the edge of the cliff, seemingly searching for some kind of marker. Then she took out a roll of rope from behind her back, tied it to a tree on the cliff edge, and her figure gradually disappeared from the cliff.

After a few breaths, Xiao Fan walked to the edge of the cliff and quietly observed Little Fairy Doctor struggling to climb below. He noticed a rock snake not far from Little Fairy Doctor, its tongue flicking coldly.

The little fairy doctor, suspended in mid-air, also noticed the rock snake coiled in the corner. The rock snake's triangle emitted a cold and bloody light, as if it wanted to devour someone. The little fairy doctor looked at it in horror and reached out to grab a handful of medicinal powder from her waist.

She never expected to find rock snakes here.

"hiss..."

The rock serpent let out a piercing hiss and its coiled body suddenly lunged at Little Fairy Doctor. Little Fairy Doctor swung the medicine powder in her hand with all her might, but because of her nervousness, it scattered before it could even hit the rock serpent.

"what..."

Little Fairy Doctor screamed in terror with her eyes closed.

Just then, Xiao Fan, who was on the edge of the cliff, picked up some soil from the cliff and lightly patted it onto his clothes. He then swiftly descended along the rope, holding onto the rope that Little Fairy Doctor had lowered with his left hand. With his right hand, he took out the Thousand Flame Spear from his backpack and thrust it fiercely at the rock serpent.

The scarlet spear tip easily pierced through the supposedly indestructible body of the rock serpent.

Xiao Fan thrust the Thousand Flame Spear into the cliff with his right hand, stabilizing the spear in mid-air. He then scooped up Little Fairy Doctor, gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and stood on the spear.

With her eyes closed, Little Fairy Doctor only heard the dying hiss of the rock snake before being enveloped by the man's aura. When she came to her senses and opened her eyes, she found that the man in front of her was younger than she had expected, and he looked to be just an adult.

But to be able to kill a first-tier rock serpent with a single hand while hanging in mid-air on a cliff, this young man must at least be a Dou Zhe (Fighter).

There are no fighters this young in Qingshan Town. Judging from his appearance, he must be a wealthy young man who has just arrived in Qingshan Town. This was the first thing Little Fairy Doctor noticed when she saw Xiao Fan.

The reason Xiao Fan is considered a rich kid is because of his attire; ordinary adventurers couldn't afford robes embroidered with soft mulberry silk.

"Thank you sir for saving my life."

Feigning composure, Little Fairy Doctor grasped Xiao Fan's robes with both hands and gave a simple nod of respect.

Xiao Fan looked at the little fairy doctor in front of him and laughed heartily, "It was just something I did on the spur of the moment. I happened to be picking herbs nearby when I heard your exclamation, so I rushed over. Luckily, it wasn't too late."

Looking at Xiao Fan's dusty clothes, Little Fairy Doctor believed his story. Only after realizing what he meant did she exclaim in admiration, "Gathering herbs? Are you an alchemist?"

Looking into Little Fairy Doctor's eyes, Xiao Fan smiled. He then said, "Hmm, Heaven has been kind to you; you have some talent."

Hearing Xiao Fan's affirmative answer, Little Fairy Doctor concealed the envy in her eyes.

Xiao Fan noticed the fleeting sadness in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes, then turned his head to glance at the hidden cave below, changing the subject.

"You... have you discovered some ruins?"

Little Fairy Doctor knew that she couldn't hide it now; no one would believe she had gone to the wilderness alone in the middle of the night to pick herbs.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Fan helplessly and said, "Yes, I don't know your name yet, young master."

"Xiao Fan".

During the conversation, Xiao Fan gently put his arm around Little Fairy Doctor's soft waist, kicked the cliff wall hard with his right foot, and grabbed the Thousand Flame Spear with his left hand as he flew out, heading towards the cave entrance.

Even through her clothes, the burning sensation at her waist still made Little Fairy Doctor's cheeks flush slightly.

Feigning composure, Little Fairy Doctor broke free from Xiao Fan's embrace and looked at the cave entrance, saying to Xiao Fan, "Young Master Xiao, come with me into the cave. How about we split the treasures inside?"

“But if I go in alone, all the treasures inside will be mine,” Xiao Fan said, feigning indifference.

"Pfft..."

Little Fairy Doctor's silvery laughter suddenly echoed through the mountains and forests.

"Young Master Xiao has never refused anyone, has he? This feigned indifference is truly adorable."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Fan's reaction, he put his hands behind his back and walked into the dark cave.

Looking at the audacious Little Fairy Doctor ahead, Xiao Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. He chased after her into the cave, his low chanting echoing on the empty platform.

"Isn't it cute...?"

Inside the dark cave, a faint chill lingered. Xiao Fan discovered that Little Fairy Doctor was waiting for him in the darkness.

He understood that being in this dark environment made Little Fairy Doctor feel insecure.

Xiao Fan took out a moonstone from his storage ring to dispel some of the darkness, walked up to Little Fairy Doctor, and whispered, "Stay behind me and don't be afraid."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Fan in front of her, and a warm feeling swept through her heart.

Following Xiao Fan's steps, he discovered that the surrounding walls were also covered with scratches from various weapons, proving that a fierce battle had once taken place here.

After walking for about ten minutes, Xiao Fan stopped. Xiao Yixian, who was behind him, was also slightly distracted by the long silence and did not notice Xiao Fan's stopped figure.

She bumped into Xiao Fan's back, her two soft mounds making intimate contact with his back.

Little Fairy Doctor jumped back like a rabbit, embarrassed, and said, "Why...why did you stop?"

Chapter 16 The secret treasure belongs to

Xiao Fan felt the soft touch on his back, coughed lightly, pointed ahead and said, "There's no way out, there's a door blocking the way."

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Little Fairy Doctor peeked out from behind him and discovered that a huge stone gate blocked their path.

The stone gate emitted a faint yellow light, blending perfectly with its surroundings, leaving no gaps for anyone to exploit.

Xiao Fan recalled the description in the original work; it seemed that there were mechanisms controlling this place. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Little Fairy Doctor say...

"The stone door here must be controlled by a mechanism, otherwise the person hiding the treasure could not have broken it open by brute force. Moreover, it is surrounded by earth-attribute light, which means that an earth-attribute mechanism has been set up. Forcing the door open will only trigger the mechanism."

Xiao Fan was surprised by Little Fairy Doctor's erudition, but he hadn't expected her to be proficient in mechanical arts. He had assumed she was only skilled in medicine.

Xiao Fan watched as Little Fairy Doctor carefully examined the area around the stone gate, and he joined her, looking around in the dim light.

Although the original novel describes that this place is controlled by mechanisms, Xiao Fan cannot pinpoint the exact location of the mechanisms, since his knowledge is mostly provided by the system, and the system has not given him any knowledge about mechanisms.

"found it!"

Before long, Xiao Fan heard Little Fairy Doctor's joyful voice.

Xiao Fan turned his head and saw Little Fairy Doctor squatting next to the stone door, pressing one hand on an inconspicuous protrusion on the side of the stone door. With a creaking sound, the stone door that was blocking the two of them slowly opened to both sides.

Looking at the open stone door, Xiao Fan smiled and gave Little Fairy Doctor a thumbs up. The latter proudly raised her petite head, her snow-white neck exposed in the dim light.

Xiao Fan walked up to Little Fairy Doctor and gently told her to follow him. He casually tossed a stone into the stone gate, and seeing that the stone was unharmed, he led Little Fairy Doctor inside.

Although he knew there shouldn't be any traps inside, Xiao Fan still decided to be cautious since he was in another world. After all, this was his real world, and if anything went wrong, he could lose his life.

As the two stepped through the stone gate, their view suddenly opened up.

Inside the spacious stone chamber, the walls were inlaid with moonstones for lighting, and piles of gold and silver treasures, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, were scattered everywhere on the floor.

In the center of the stone doorway stood a chair, upon which sat a skeleton. The skull, weathered by time, had fallen to the ground, resting against the pale thigh bone. In this silent stone chamber, there was a chilling atmosphere.

In front of the seat was a very large blue stone platform, on which were placed three locked stone boxes.

In another corner, a small flower bed was built with soil, and all sorts of rare and exotic plants grew in the flower bed. A faint fragrance emanated from the flower bed and permeated the stone chamber.

"Purple-blue leaves, white ginseng fruit, snow lotus seeds..."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at the last little flower bed with delight, and the names of rare and hard-to-find medicinal herbs popped out of her rosy little mouth.

Looking at the red and white herb in the center of the flower bed, this is the Ice Flame Spirit Grass. Half of its white branches and leaves contain faint ice crystals, while the other half has red sap flowing in them, and the flower stamens look like flames are burning.

Xiao Fan was also a little conflicted. This Ice Flame Spirit Grass was very useful for subduing strange flames. Although his physique had a high affinity for fire, Xiao Fan still planned to get his hands on it for the sake of safety. With the part of the family fortune left to him by the old medicine master, Xiao Fan was not particularly lacking in other herbs.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan turned to the Little Fairy Doctor beside him and said, "I will only take one Ice Flame Spirit Grass, and the rest are yours, okay?"

When she heard Xiao Fan ask for the most expensive medicinal herbs right away, Little Fairy Doctor was about to say something, but when she heard the second half of Xiao Fan's sentence, she swallowed her words.

She lowered her head and said softly, "Okay."

He then went to collect the herbs with a big smile.

Xiao Fan walked to the flower bed, gently dug out the Ice Flame Spirit Grass along with the surrounding soil, and put it away.

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor was still collecting other medicinal herbs, Xiao Fan walked to the bluestone platform and examined the three locked stone boxes.

The stone box is connected to the bluestone platform; it cannot be taken away without opening it.

Xiao Fan walked to the skeleton on the chair, looked at the stone box key in its hand, took it off, and took the opportunity to take out the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Map embedded in the hand bone.

He then took the key and walked to the bluestone platform where the stone box was placed.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor had finished collecting the medicinal herbs and came over.

Xiao Fan glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and then opened the stone box on the bluestone platform.

The first stone box contained the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. Since Xiao Fan couldn't become an alchemist, he was far more interested in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture than in any other cultivation techniques or fighting skills. Xiao Fan didn't compete with her for it, so Xiao Fan put it away.

When it came to the flying combat skill in the second stone box, Little Fairy Doctor also gave it to Xiao Fan. After all, she also had her own pet, so this wouldn't be a particularly big boost to her.

One person gets the Poison Manual and the other gets the Flying Combat Skill; it's relatively fair, allowing each to get what they need.

The third stone box contained a high-level Xuan-rank fighting technique called Phoenix Flight Step. Xiao Fan already had a movement fighting technique and had just obtained a flight fighting technique, so he didn't have a great need for this one.

Thinking that Little Fairy Doctor, being a woman, would need some means of protecting herself while out in the world, he gave it to her.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and put away the last volume of fighting techniques. She said to Xiao Fan, "You're so generous, it makes me seem stingy. Just take all the gold coins and stuff in this cave. I don't need anything else."
