Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded solemnly.

He didn't have any complaints about his future father-in-law. After all, putting aside the ancient clan, he had indeed done everything he could for the Xiao family, sending his daughter and coughing...

Anyway, I'm extremely grateful.

"Alright, go ahead. I'll go see Xun'er." Gu Yuan smiled and stroked his beard before disappearing in an instant.

"This old man, he really is a doting father," Xiao Yan said with a chuckle.

"And what about you?" Lao Jun's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mockery.

“I…” Xiao Yan touched his nose, “Who knows?”

……

A young man came to Qingshan Town.

His identity is mysterious, but his cultivation is by no means weak. He clearly has the face of a slightly immature and inexperienced young man, yet he crippled a seven-star Dou Zhe with a single punch.

In just two short days, it became famous throughout Qingshan Town.

but……

"I only treat the injured, not ordinary people."

Wanyaozhai.

A two-story building.

A beautiful woman with a slender waist and a face veiled by a light gauze sat behind the counter and spoke calmly to Xiao Yan, with an air of indifference that kept strangers at bay.

"Clearly possessing a naturally poisonous constitution, yet she chooses to heal and treat people here... That's rather interesting." Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and sized up the woman opposite him.

"Little Fairy Doctor".

"What do you mean?!" Little Fairy Doctor's pupils suddenly contracted as she looked up at Xiao Yan. It was only by chance that she learned that her body was the Calamity Poison Body, which was feared throughout the entire continent. Originally, she had the heart to heal people, but she was forced to eat poison, which caused her immense pain.

She wanted to be a good person.

The Little Fairy Doctor who heals the sick and heals people, not the infamous Poison Master whose reputation has long been ruined.

but……

What terrifies her even more is that this continent has already experienced the power of the Calamity Poison Body. Therefore, once she reveals her true identity, she will likely face endless pursuit from countless powerful figures until she is reduced to ashes.

Upon realizing this, Little Fairy Doctor's delicate hand trembled slightly under the counter. No matter what, she had to control this person first and investigate in detail how he knew about it.

In the next instant, the girl stretched out her slender hand, her long, fair fingers holding several poisoned needles, ready to shoot them at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan was clearly prepared, and casually grabbed the beauty's wrist, as if it were an iron clamp, preventing her fingers from moving an inch.

“You…” Little Fairy Doctor’s beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.

This person's cultivation level was far stronger than she had expected!

"Take the poison back. If I really wanted to harm you, it wouldn't be me here now, but a group of assassins," Xiao Yan said lazily.

"Then let go first!"

Little Fairy Doctor spoke coldly.

"..."

Xiao Yan smiled and slowly released his grip.

Little Fairy Doctor's expression softened, and she gradually withdrew her poison needles. "You came to find me, what do you want me to do?"

"I'm not interested in curing poisons, but I'm particularly interested in the Calamity Poison Body," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"I want to see if this Calamity Poison Body is as powerful as rumored, that it can be strengthened simply by consuming poison, and that it has no choice but to consume it. Tsk tsk tsk, this Dou Qi Continent is truly mysterious beyond measure," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

"..."

Little Fairy Doctor was shocked, yet also felt somewhat powerless.

It felt like being stripped naked and thrown in front of him.

This guy...how does he know everything!

……

Chapter 19 Entering the Monster Mountain Range

How can I trust you?

Although the Fairy Doctor's pretty face still held a coldness, it was no longer as unapproachable as before.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yan shrugged, raised his palm, and a crimson flame emerged from Little Fairy Doctor's arm, transforming into a fire snake that coiled around his wrist. "This is my sincerity."

Little Fairy Doctor's eye twitched. When? The instant her skin was touched?

And this level of flame... is it from an alchemist?

A hint of envy flashed in the girl's beautiful eyes. Her greatest wish in life was to become a respected alchemist, but fate played a cruel trick on her.

Looking at Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly smiled, raised her two delicate hands and patted them in the air. Xiao Yan's expression changed, and his throat churned. In the next instant, a Gu worm was spat out of Xiao Yan's mouth and landed in Little Fairy Doctor's fair palm.

Xiao Yan's lips twitched. He looked at the wriggling, dark-colored Gu worm and then looked at Little Fairy Doctor with some surprise.

I've actually fallen for their trick?

As expected of someone who works with drugs, she's incredibly cunning. You can easily fall victim to her if you're not careful. Moreover, she's mastered the art of using many drugs to an unparalleled degree, making them colorless and odorless. By the time you recognize them, you've already been poisoned.

At this point, even a Battle Master could be somewhat restrained by Little Fairy Doctor.

"As expected of Little Fairy Doctor, her poison skills are truly divine." Xiao Yan exclaimed.

“We’re even, that’s the same.” Little Fairy Doctor chuckled, her voice as clear and melodious as a silver bell.

"Okay." Xiao Yan touched his nose.

He didn't come here to make enemies, he came here to make friends.

"Is it over? The other patients are still waiting..." At this moment, a knock came from the door of the two-story building, followed by a gentle voice from a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Yao, an old friend of mine is visiting today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to continue seeing patients. I'd like to ask for two days off." Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Xiao Yan, who was listlessly fiddling with his storage ring, and said calmly.

"Hehe, it's alright. My Wan Yao Zhai has always been kind and generous to people. Little Fairy Doctor, if you want to take leave, please do so. It's perfectly fine..." The voice paused for a moment, then continued.

Until there was no more movement outside the door.

Xiao Yan sat casually by the window, watching the people below cursing and leaving. Only a few people dressed in the same clothes, led by an arrogant young man, looked up at the window with a cold expression.

Xiao Yan tossed the storage ring in his hand and saw the young man's slightly surprised and ruthless eyes. A smile appeared on his face.

"Does that guy named Muli like you?"

"Who knows? It could also be due to my medical skills." Little Fairy Doctor rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at Xiao Yan.

"If the Wolf Head Mercenary Group wants to become the number one in Green Mountain Town, it also needs doctors like me who have accumulated a certain reputation."

"Tsk, as expected, shallow ponds breed many turtles." Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, somewhat bored.

A classic Dou Shi powerhouse, terrifyingly powerful.

"What do you plan to do to him? He's the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, and his father is a Dou Shi expert. If you provoke him, you'll be in big trouble," Little Fairy Doctor said with a smile.

"Then you might as well pray you don't provoke me." Xiao Yan chuckled. "We're setting off for the Monster Beast Mountain Range tomorrow. I know the location you marked earlier, so don't beat around the bush..."

Little Fairy Doctor's beautiful eyes swept over Xiao Yan's departing figure, stirring a ripple in her gaze. What a strange fellow.

……

The next day.

Sunlight streamed into the room.

Xiao Yan gently exhaled a breath of turbid air, sat cross-legged on the bed, and his body emitted a faint golden light, as if he were a golden body. This was the "Diamond Technique" that Laozi had taught him before, which was used to cultivate his physique.

There are ten levels in total, and he has only cultivated to the first level so far.

This is also one of his trump cards for challenging opponents of higher levels. Even if he only cultivates to the first level, the damage from a Dou Shi of the same level cannot harm him in the slightest. Only a Da Dou Shi might be able to break through his defense.

Four-star Dou Shi.

Another level has been raised, and the advancement is as easy as drinking water.

Xiao Yan made a comment.

The fire transformed into a snake that coiled around his arm. Compared to yesterday, it had grown slightly thicker and appeared more menacing, gradually gaining a touch of power.

"Alright, off to find Little Fairy Doctor."

Xiao Yan quickly tidied himself up, changed back into his black outfit from yesterday, and headed straight for the Wan Yao Zhai.

"here……"

Little Fairy Doctor was already waiting in place, dressed in a snow-white long dress. She removed her veil to reveal her beautiful and gentle face, and waved in Xiao Yan's direction on tiptoe.

"Who is this guy?! How could he make Little Fairy Doctor so enthusiastic?"

"The new guy, I think his name is Xiao Yan? Anyway, I heard he's quite strong, probably at the peak of the Dou Zhe level."

"You're kidding me. This greenhorn is stronger than the third leader of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group?"

"..."
