Battle Through the Heavens: Reap the Red Lotus Karmic Flame at the Start

"Ice River Valley has been destroyed?" Xiao Yan was initially incredulous when he heard the news. Ice River Valley was a level above the Four Pavilions and could not be dealt with as easily as Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

"When Ice Venerable took a direct hit from Clan Chief Mu, the wound damaged his very essence, and his Calamity Poison Body even suffered a backlash. As Ice Venerable's strength declined, considerable turmoil broke out within Ice River Valley. Although it was eventually suppressed, it was a devastating blow, with several people escaping to Starfall Pavilion. In the end, the Pavilion Master acted decisively and subdued them with swift and decisive measures, with experts from the Heavenly Phoenix Clan also providing assistance."

Ice River Valley wields considerable influence, and being able to be ranked alongside Sound Valley and Burning Flame Valley as one of the Three Valleys is certainly no ordinary power. However, its leadership is severely lacking, with only two Dou Zun in total. The strongest among them, Ice Venerable, was seriously injured in the battle to besiege Starfall Pavilion.

The restored Starfall Pavilion was backed by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. After discussing with Venerable Feng and Mu Yaoyin, they still forcefully destroyed the original Ice River Valley. Moreover, the action was so swift that the decapitation operation was so fast that the middle levels of Ice River Valley didn't even have time to react before Venerable Bing was already beheaded. Ice River Valley's territory was considerable, and Starfall Pavilion itself had already experienced a surge in power; now it needed to slow down its pace and couldn't be forcibly absorbed.

Therefore, the best option is to replace the leadership of Ice River Valley and then select new disciples to undermine the valley from within. This requires supporting a new Ice River Valley Master, which is why Venerable Wind naturally thought of Little Fairy Doctor.

Furthermore, because the Dan Tower's Dan Conference has attracted the attention of the vast majority of Zhongzhou, the impact of the Ice River Valley's change of ownership is still in the nascent stage. Of course, once the Ice River Valley is renamed, it will completely explode in Zhongzhou.

Of course, the expression on Xuan Yi's face did not change much. It was clear that Danta had known about this news in advance. Others might be able to keep it from them, but for a behemoth like Danta, it had its own information channels to learn about these things.

"Let me be the Valley Master?" Little Fairy Doctor was also taken aback.

"That's right." Fei Tian explained, "What the Pavilion Master means is that, young lady, you possess the Calamity Poison Body, making you the perfect person to lead Ice River Valley. And with your heart set on healing the world, Ice River Valley would be an ideal asset."

Of course, there were some things Venerable Feng didn't say directly. Compared to Xun'er, he secretly believed that Fairy Doctor was Xiao Yan's best match. During Xiao Yan's time with the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, it was Fairy Doctor who risked her life to protect the Starfall Pavilion. Both Venerable Feng and the others in the Starfall Pavilion had already acknowledged that Fairy Doctor was also a member of the Starfall Pavilion after that battle. Therefore, Venerable Feng naturally wanted to help Fairy Doctor with his own strength. If Fairy Doctor could truly lead the Ice River Valley's forces, she would naturally have more confidence when speaking with the ancient clans in the future.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor fell into deep thought. Aside from her initial surprise, after careful consideration, she was actually willing to take over Ice River Valley. She didn't want to be merely a decorative figure behind Xiao Yan; leading a powerful force was quite appealing to her.

"If we can leverage the power of the Ice River Valley to practice medicine and help the world, it would indeed be a very good choice," Xuan Yi said gently.

"I have the same idea. Once the Dan meeting is over, I will start making preparations."

"If you've really made up your mind, then I can offer you some assistance," Xuan Yi added to Little Fairy Doctor. "Of course, this assistance doesn't belong to the Pill Tower; it's merely my personal support for your actions."

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes suddenly lit up, and many ideas about the future of Ice River Valley appeared in her mind. Xuan Yi could obviously give her a lot of advice, and the two felt more and more like-minded.

"This is no small matter. There are still many details that need to be discussed afterward. We can discuss it again after the Young Master's Pill Gathering. I'm just passing on the Pavilion Master's message." Fei Tian also took the opportunity to temporarily interrupt the conversation between the two. The two were in high spirits, and it would probably take a day or two to discuss it further.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled kindly: "Then please have Elder Fei Tian convey my gratitude to Venerable Feng!"

After the guests presented their gifts, they all left in unison, some saying they had to continue their cultivation, others saying they had things to do. They all left at a very fast pace, leaving Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor alone.

In the end, Xuan Yi left a gift for Little Fairy Doctor and said to her meaningfully, "Whether or not to use it is up to you. Don't let other people's opinions influence you."

After everyone else left, Xiao Yan immediately asked Little Fairy Doctor, "How was it? Are you satisfied with this birthday celebration?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion appeared in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. She knew that Xiao Yan had asked this because he had been worried about her: "Of course I'm satisfied."

"Since the Calamity Poison Body was resolved, I have resolved not to be burdened by past mistakes and will not dwell on the past from now on."

"That's for the best." Xiao Yan smiled and took out an exquisite sandalwood box from his storage ring. He slowly opened it, revealing a jade bracelet, the most expensive item in any jade shop. The bracelet was a vibrant, flowing green, with a delicate and translucent texture, its patterns seemingly containing the essence of heaven and earth. Crimson metallic cloud patterns swirled around the bracelet, the two complementing each other perfectly.

When Xiao Yan was forging the jade, he specifically emphasized to Hai Ka that the cloud pattern must be cast according to the original design of the shop. After all, Xiao Yan did not believe that his and Hai Ka's aesthetic sense could surpass the design specially designed by the jade shop.

Little Fairy Doctor took the bracelet, her fingertips lightly touching it, and a warm aura emanated from it. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she asked Xiao Yan, "This is... your Crimson Lotus Heart Flame?"

"Yes." Xiao Yan picked up the bracelet, infused it with a wisp of Dou Qi, and the Red Lotus Heart Flame also surged from the cloud patterns on the bracelet's metal.

"The material on this jade bracelet is Starry Black Iron, which can withstand the strange fire. I will ask Senior Chen Wei to leave a fire-storing array on the jade bracelet. As long as I charge it, you will be able to use the strange fire and even refine medicine."

Xiao Yan had always known that Little Fairy Doctor wanted to become an alchemist, and now that his strength had improved, he was able to do more and more for her.

"No need." Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently as she slipped the bracelet onto her wrist. The emerald green contrasted sharply with her fair skin, making the bracelet appear even more vibrant and highlighting her own graceful beauty.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of mockery in her eyes: "I already have such a powerful alchemist by my side, why would I need to bother with anything else?"
