Chapter 177 Goodbye Little Medical Fairy
The vastness of the Mulan Empire is no less than that of the Gama Empire, and the Cuihuan Mountains are quite far away from the Izumo Empire.
Even with Lin Yuan and Zi Yan's speed, it took them a full week to reach the border between the Mulan Empire and the Izumo Empire.
A week later, on a mountain at the border of the Izumo Empire.
Two streams of light flashed from afar, and after a moment they turned into two human figures, appearing on the top of the mountain.
"Zi Yan, the Izumo Empire is ahead, and poison masters are rampant there. Be careful in your future actions and don't pick up things casually." Looking at the border fortress at the end of his sight, Lin Yuan turned his head and instructed Zi Yan.
"Hey! My brother Lin Yuan, how many times have you reminded me?" Zi Yan looked at Lin Yuan helplessly, "Don't worry! I know."
After saying that, she looked excitedly in the direction of the Mulan Empire, with a bit more excitement in her eyes that was difficult to conceal.
"Hey, all the talented people of the Izumo Empire, your destined master, Lady Zi Yan, is here..."
During these few days, Zi Yan gained a lot of benefits from traveling with Lin Yuan. She now had many precious medicinal herbs, some of which grew in the mountains, and some of which she and Lin Yuan had taken from some forces in the Mulan Empire.
With Zi Yan's treasure-hunting ability and the two's powerful military force that is enough to sweep across the Mulan Empire, the two of them were extremely bold in this trip, searching for natural treasures along the way while they were on the road.
This method of searching for treasure while traveling meant that the journey, which should have taken three days, took the two of them a whole week.
However, although it took a few more days, the gains were considerable.
Not to mention Zi Yan, at this moment Lin Yuan's storage ring was filled with a large amount of medicinal materials. Not only were the materials for the Heavenly Soul Melting Blood Pill gathered, but also the medicinal materials for another kind of seventh-grade pill.
"Haha, with Zi Yan, the treasure-hunting dragon, here, the efficiency of collecting natural treasures is really high."
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan looked at Zi Yan who was excited, smiled gently, and said: "Okay, Zi Yan, let's go. Our destination is Tiandu City, the center of the Izumo Empire. It's still four days away..."
"Let's go, I can't wait any longer."
Immediately, the two of them floated into the air quickly and flew towards Tiandu City at a rapid speed.
-
The territory of the Izumo Empire is much larger than that of Gama, but compared to the Gama Empire, this empire is undoubtedly much more chaotic.
Poison master, a profession despised by most people on the mainland, has flourished in the Izumo Empire. In a city, people wearing poison master robes can be seen almost everywhere.
The fighting spirit cultivated by the poison master is poisonous fighting spirit. Compared with ordinary fighting spirit, it does have some advantages in lethality, but it will also harm the body of the practitioner.
Although poisonous fighting spirit has more subtle branches, its essence is still very similar and they are all double-edged swords.
After all, poison is still poison. If you don't have a special physique, coexisting with poison is naturally dangerous.
However, due to the double-edged nature of poisonous fighting spirit, the people of Izumo tend to be more crazy when practicing it. Because everyone knows that if the strength is not enough, sooner or later they will be backfired by the poisonous fighting spirit they practice and lose their lives.
In this madness, the people of the Izumo Empire were simple and honest, and all kinds of murders, robberies and robberies could be seen almost everywhere.
The end result was that, although located in the remote northwest region, the Izumo Empire was still stronger than several other neighboring countries, its chaotic situation was far worse than that of the surrounding countries.
However, in the past two years, the situation in the Izumo Empire has changed significantly.
The Poison Sect, this behemoth rose like lightning in Izumo. Its leader, the legendary Sky Poison Girl of Izumo, was decisive in killing. After establishing the sect, she continuously launched conquests, annexed and integrated many forces, which in turn gave Izumo a different sense of order.
At present, there are only two voices in the Izumo Empire, those who support the Poison Sect and those who oppose the Poison Sect.
As for those forces that advocate neutrality and want to reap the benefits from the fight between the two major forces, they are currently being continuously swallowed up and eliminated by the tacit understanding between the two forces.
The reason why the Poison Sect and the Anti-Poison Sect Alliance have not yet had a decisive battle is precisely because the two are encroaching on third-party forces.
However, the time has come and the final decisive battle is not far away.
After all, after the Alchemist Guild had sided with the Poison Sect under the leadership of its new president, Yan Li, the only neutral force left that could influence the situation was the Izumo royal family.
The knowledgeable people in the Izumo Empire all realized that no matter whether the Poison Sect or the Anti-Poison Sect Alliance won the war, Izumo would soon enter a new era - an era of complete unification of the Izumo Empire.
Either it could be unified by the Poison Sect, or by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect which leads the anti-Poison Sect alliance.
-
A week later, in the Izumo Empire, in Tiandu City.
A young man was holding a cute little girl in purple, and they were standing in front of an extremely luxurious shop in Tiandu City.
The little girl in purple, Zi Yan, looked back at the shop and pulled Lin Yuan's hand.
"Brother, is this our next target?"
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yuan turned around and flicked Zi Yan's little head with his finger. "Girl, you should be tired of playing robbery games these days. You should concentrate. Otherwise, when you return to the academy, be careful that the elder will scold you severely."
"Besides, most of the things sold in this kind of shop are useful to poison masters, not to us. How much can we gain from robbing them?"
"Ah... not robbing?" Zi Yan heard this, a hint of boredom flashed in her eyes, "Then why are we here?"
"Haha." Lin Yuan smiled and explained, "This kind of shop has the most sensitive and transparent information. It is perfect for finding out and verifying some intelligence."
After saying that, Lin Yuan raised his eyes and looked towards the shop called "Yi Du Zhai" with a playful smile.
"The largest chain of drug stores in Izumo? Using the word 'One' as its name suggests, you seem quite confident."
Poison shops are shops in every city of the Izumo Empire that specialize in selling poisons. Almost everything related to poison can be purchased in a poison shop. The more toxic the substance, the more expensive it is.
Lin Yuan took Zi Yan's hand and walked slowly into the poison shop with a bit of curiosity.
A few hours later, Lin Yuan pulled Zi Yan, who was yawning and looking sleepy, out of Yiduzhai.
Thinking of the dazzling array of poisons he saw in the shops, Lin Yuan felt a little emotional: "The Izumo Empire is indeed a paradise for poison masters. For the little medical fairy with a body of evil poison, coming here is like a fish in water."
"From the intelligence I have recently gathered, it seems that what Yanli told me is correct. The Little Medical Immortal has indeed subdued the Netherworld Poison Fire."
"With the Netherworld Poison Fire, the environment here, and her character, it's no wonder that her cultivation has improved so quickly and she can rise at such a terrifying speed!"
"Now that the intelligence has been confirmed, let's proceed as planned. I'll meet the Little Medical Fairy tonight!"
-
At night, on a mountain outside Tiandu City.
Lin Yuan, who was practicing sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus Seat, slowly opened his eyes, put away the seals on his hands, glanced at Zi Yan who was sleeping soundly not far away, and then looked at the full moon in the sky.
"This full moon is the same as it was back then. It seems that today is the day of our reunion."
With a slight smile, Lin Yuan's eyes were slightly stern, and the breath of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire was released, spreading towards the headquarters of the Poison Sect in the center of Sky Poison City. "This breath will cause resonance between different fires, and only those who are holders of the same different fire can feel it!"
"Come on, Little Doctor!"
-
The center of Tiandu City today is the headquarters of the Poison Sect, which has the potential to unify Izumo.
As the headquarters of the Poison Sect, the defenses here are extremely strict, and even a Douhuang-level warrior would find it difficult to sneak in. Deep inside the Poison Sect headquarters is a lush stone forest, which is the forbidden area of the Poison Sect that only the Sect Master can enter.
Inside the stone forest, there are many strange rocks, among which are planted various poisonous weeds.
Various poisonous monsters that are quite rare in the outside world can be seen everywhere here.
In the stone forest, the faint smell of various poisons intertwined and lingered above the stone forest, forming a layer of light purple poisonous miasma. This extremely toxic miasma was difficult for even a Dou Wang strongman to resist.
In the center of the stone forest, there is a small pond paved with black stones.
Inside the pool was a pool of extremely dark water. The water was so black that one could not see the bottom with the naked eye. The energy contained in the pool was extremely powerful, and even if the power of the soul invaded it, it would be bounced back.
There was a faint mist lingering in the middle of the pool. The mist had a slight fishy smell and was obviously highly poisonous.
Suddenly, a delicate body as smooth and white as jade slowly rose from the dark surface of the pool, just like a bright moon rising in the night sky. It was a beautiful scene, but unfortunately no one had the chance to enjoy such a beautiful scene.
The little medical fairy placed her smooth little feet on the surface of the lake. She breathed gently, trying to calm the huge amount of energy surging in her body.
After a while, the little medical fairy opened her purple-gray eyes, stepped on the black mirror-like surface of the pond, and walked back to the stone steps by the pond step by step.
The moonlight shone on her well-proportioned body, reflecting a faint fluorescence.
As if she felt something in her heart, the little medical fairy looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her purple-gray eyes.
"This full moon is the same as it was back then."
Shaking her head, Xiao Yixian took out a plain white dress from her ring. This plain dress, different from her usual luxurious attire, concealed her infinitely beautiful body.
Suddenly, the Netherworld poisonous fire in her body became restless, and a mysterious feeling surged into her heart.
"Is this, the resonance of the strange fire?" Little Medical Fairy subconsciously turned her head and looked into the distance, "Is this aura... the aura of another strange fire? This aura that makes people miss it a little, it's the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire. Could it be..."
When Xiao Yixian thought of a possibility, a hint of joy suddenly appeared between her gloomy brows. The space swayed slightly, and her figure disappeared at the edge of the pond.
-
On the mountain peak, after the scent of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire emanated from it, Lin Yuan waited quietly for about ten minutes.
Finally, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in his sight. After a few flashes under the bright moonlight, it appeared out of thin air in the air above the mountain.
The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling on the person who came. The figure gradually became clear, and it was the Little Medical Fairy.
Under the moonlight, Xiao Yixian's white sleeves and snow-white hair fluttered in the night wind, adding a bit of fairy spirit to her. Her figure was still slender and graceful, like a willow branch swaying in the wind, soft and yet tough.
Lin Yuan's eyes brightened the moment he saw Little Medical Fairy, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
"It's been a long time since we last met, Little Medical Immortal. I'm here to say goodbye."
After the voice fell, Lin Yuan chuckled, and the cultivation level of the peak of the Seven-Star Dou Huang was released, and the green Dou Qi condensed on his right palm.
Immediately, he soared into the air and struck the Little Medical Fairy with a powerful palm.
Seeing this, Little Medical Fairy's purple-grey eyes, filled with joy at meeting an old friend, flashed with interest. She gently raised her hand, a stream of purple fighting spirit lingered on her palm, and met Lin Yuan's right palm.
Lin Yuan wanted to test Xiao Yixian's current strength, and Xiao Yixian also wanted to see Lin Yuan's current progress.
So, with a tacit understanding between the two, the two palms gently touched each other.
"boom--"
In an instant, the surging fighting spirit was like rivers flowing into the sea, colliding violently between the two palms. The purple and blue fighting spirit intertwined, producing a strange and brilliant light, and circles of space ripples spread out from the intersection of the two palms.
Zi Yan, who was sleeping soundly nearby, was also awakened by the energy collision. She looked at the two people palming against each other in mid-air, and a hint of excitement suddenly flashed in her eyes.
But before she could take any action, she immediately recalled Lin Yuan's instructions, so she stopped gathering her strength and looked at the Little Medical Fairy curiously.
"Is this the Little Medical Fairy that Lin Yuan mentioned? She's so strong, and her aura seems to be as good as Sister Xiyue's."
And in mid-air, this simple collision of power between the two did not last long.
"Almost three stars of Dou Zong's power..."
"More powerful than the average Douhuang peak..."
Sensing the ease in each other's strength, the two smiled at each other and tacitly withdrew the powerful force lingering in their palms, turning the energy fluctuations centered on the two of them into invisible.
Immediately, Lin Yuan and Xiao Yixian fell from mid-air and stood facing each other on the top of the mountain.
Lin Yuan's eyes fell on Xiao Yixian's face and praised: "Xiao Yixian, I haven't seen you for two years. Your progress is miraculous. It even far exceeded my expectations."
The Little Medical Fairy stared at Lin Yuan, the man who led her to the world of the strong, the man she seemed to have surpassed.
Bitterness and relief intertwined in her eyes. She shook her head and sighed softly, "There is nothing to envy. This is just a brief splendor in exchange for life. Now, my poisonous body has matured, and time is running out."
After that, as if infected by the weight of Xiao Yixian's words, the scene fell into a deep silence, until...
"Puff-"
"It's just a brief moment of splendor in exchange for life? Time is running out?"
"My little medical fairy, my good friend, you have been the leader of a sect for so long, why are you still so sad?"
A sneer sounded in Little Medical Fairy's ears, and the dusty memories of the valley two years ago and the familiar feeling of shame flooded into her mind again. The indifferent state of mind she had developed in the past two years was instantly shattered, and she couldn't help but glare at Lin Yuan.
"It's like this again! This bastard did it again! Does he still think I'm still the girl who let him tease me two years ago?"
Thinking of this, the angry grey eyes of Little Medical Immortal were filled with a bit more murderous intent, and she said in her heart with hatred: "For this bastard, we must teach him a lesson with a heavy punch!"
