Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Mu Li instinctively turned around and found that Xiao Yan had already arrived outside the cave with Little Fairy Doctor.

As Xiao Yan approached step by step, Mu Li felt an unprecedented fear.

"Brother, let me go! My dad's the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group. If you let me go, he'll give you a lot of money!"

At this point, Muli had lost his previous arrogance and didn't even dare to make any threats.

His own father was only a two-star Dou Shi, and he was killed in one move when he met Xiao Yan.

After losing his greatest support, Muli was utterly terrified and realized for the first time the gap between people in this world.

"Are you going to jump yourself or should I help you?" Xiao Yan said calmly to Mu Li. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Jump off here, and if you survive, our grudges will be wiped clean."

The cliff behind Mu Li was at least a thousand feet high. Even if Xiao Yan jumped down, he would almost certainly die, let alone a mere six-star Dou Zhe.

"Please, give me a chance! Just let me go, and I'll do anything you want! All the treasure is yours, and so is Little Fairy Doctor! I also have a low-level Xuan-rank fighting technique here; if you're interested, I can give it to you too!"

Mu Li knelt directly in front of Xiao Yan. As long as he could live, dignity was of no concern to him.

"In some ways, we are quite similar, and one of us is that we will never give a second chance to someone who is plotting to kill me."

Xiao Yan's words essentially sealed Mu Li's fate, and letting such a person go would be tantamount to releasing a tiger back into the mountains.

When the other party realized that Xiao Yan would not let him go, his fear turned into anger.

"If you want me dead, I'll bite off a piece of your flesh!"

Mu Li suddenly sprang up from the ground, his fighting spirit erupting from his hands.

[Low-level Mystic Rank - Wood Hardening]!

His fists transformed into a pair of hardwood sticks covered in sharp spikes, hurtling towards Xiao Yan and creating waves of air!

However, this level of attack was meaningless to Xiao Yan. He didn't even dodge or flinch, catching the attack with one hand.

"You want to bite off a piece of my flesh? You think you're worthy?"

Immediately, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi erupted, and his fire-attribute Dou Qi instantly devoured Mu Li, turning him into a charred corpse.

Those above the cliff, seeing their young leader killed, scattered and fled, even though Xiao Yan had already concealed his Dou Qi armor.

However, they were also very clear that someone capable of killing Mu Li in one blow was definitely not someone they could contend with.

As for Xiao Yan, he was too lazy to chase after those small fry, so he just let them be.

Xiao Yan walked to Mu Li's corpse and took out a storage ring.

Upon opening it, he found tens of thousands of gold coins, several first-tier healing pills, and a low-level Xuan-rank fighting skill, Wood Hardening. This was an unexpected gain for Xiao Yan.

However, now that Xiao Yan has the flying fighting technique and the Mad Lion's Roar, he will no longer consider cultivating this low-level Xuan-rank fighting technique.

Little Fairy Doctor, on the other hand, huddled in a corner the whole time, not daring to move.

Why are you hiding so far away?

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor trembling like this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You've killed so many people, are you going to silence me too?"

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were glistening with tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment.

"What are you thinking? I'm still waiting for you to teach me pharmacology and medicine. Let's go upstairs."

Xiao Yan grabbed Little Fairy Doctor and leaped onto a strange rock. He then continued leaping across the rocks, reaching the cliff in just a few breaths.

"What do we do next? Should we go back to Qingshan Town?"

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan with a pitiful expression, completely different from her initial look of disgust.

"I don't care, and I was planning to cross the Monster Mountain Range anyway."

Xiao Yan shrugged; he still wanted to use the coordinate map to find the location of the strange fire.

"No, you can't leave! If you leave, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group will definitely cause me trouble. If a weak woman like me falls into their hands, I'll suffer a fate worse than death."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor pulled up her sleeve and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Stop pretending. Those tears are probably some kind of medicine. Don't worry, you still owe me something. I won't leave until I've learned pharmacology and medicine."

After receiving Xiao Yan's promise, Little Fairy Doctor was finally relieved.

"Okay, let's go back to Qingshan Town first."

However, a new problem has arisen: how to get back.

This was Xiao Yan's first time in the Monster Mountain Range, and he couldn't find his way back at all.

Little Fairy Doctor moves very slowly, and Xiao Yan doesn't mind carrying her on his back, but it's clear that Little Fairy Doctor is very bothered by it.

However, Little Fairy Doctor had a solution to this problem. She took out a small flute and played a special flute melody.

A moment later, a blue eagle slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of the two.

"It's actually a Tier 1 Blue Eagle, quite something."

Taming magical beasts is extremely difficult. Apart from specialized beast-taming forces or raising them from a young age, it is virtually impossible for ordinary people to gain the loyalty of magical beasts.

However, once Warcraft confirms this relationship, he will never betray it.

"Its name is Xiao Lan. I healed its injuries when it was hurt before, and it has been with me ever since."

Little Fairy Doctor smiled gently and stroked the blue eagle's feathers.

"As expected of Little Fairy Doctor, she treats everyone and everything equally."

At this moment, Xiao Yan's evaluation of Little Fairy Doctor rose even higher; she was indeed a beautiful and kind-hearted girl.

The skill of using poison was merely for self-defense.

The two boarded the Blue Eagle together; the Blue Eagle, which is at least two meters long, can comfortably accommodate two people.

Then the blue eagle flapped its wings and flew into the sky, temporarily leaving the Monster Mountain Range.

After returning to Qingshan Town, with the help of Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan checked into a guest room provided by Wan Yao Zhai, which was just a courtyard away from Little Fairy Doctor's.

On the one hand, living nearby allows Xiao Yan to protect Xiao Yi Xian at any time. After obtaining the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Xiao Yi Xian also needs to use the resources of the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall to refine poisons.

On the other hand, since Fairy Doctor lived close to Xiao Yan, it was convenient for her to teach him some pharmacology and medical skills at any time.

Although Little Fairy Doctor is not an alchemist, she has been in contact with medicine for ten years and has some knowledge as a physician.

She recognized most of the medicinal herbs below the fourth rank, and even gave Xiao Yan her treasured catalog of precious herbs that she had kept for many years.

During this time, Xiao Yan was also diligently learning from Little Fairy Doctor. The two were almost always together, except when sleeping or using the restroom.

A few days later, rumors about Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor spread throughout Qingshan Town, and gradually, Xiao Yan's fame reached its peak in Qingshan Town.

Almost every mercenary knew of Xiao Yan's existence, though this fame was based on jealousy.

Xiao Yan's progress in pharmacology and medical skills exceeded Little Fairy Doctor's imagination. In just three days, he was already able to prepare some basic healing medicines.

If Xiao Yan could become an alchemist, he would definitely be one of the most talented.

However, this peaceful period did not last long. On the fourth day after Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor returned to Green Mountain Town, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group mobilized almost all of its members and surrounded the entire Wan Yao Zhai.
