Chapter 62: Chapter 62: The 3rd Stone Box
The level of Soul Impact was not high, and it was not difficult to cultivate, especially for an alchemist with a particularly strong Spiritual Strength like Xiao Yan.
Moreover, the destructive power of Soul Impact had little to do with the user's proficiency in Dou Techniques; it depended solely on the user's Spiritual Strength and that of the other party.
Facing these mercenaries who knew nothing about Soul Training Methods or Soul Skills, Xiao Yan's Soul Impact was no longer just an impact, but more like the Grim Reaper himself, a terrifying Soul Skill that harvested lives.
All the shouts abruptly ceased and the entire tomb fell silent in an instant. Little Fairy Doctor was so frightened that she took two steps back, her beautiful eyes wide with horror as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of her.
Was this Xiao Yan's true strength?!
Xiao Yan looked at Mu Li, who had collapsed on the ground in fear, and smiled warmly as he approached step by step. "Do you have any other requests? Just speak. I've always been generous with the dead."
Seeing Xiao Yan approach, Mu Li was so terrified that he wet his pants. In this moment of life and death, he disregarded everything else, his voice both fierce and trembling as he cried out, "You, you, you can't kill me! My father is the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company! He's a 2-star Dou Master! If you kill me, he will chase you to the ends of the earth. There will be no place for you in Qingshan Town!!"
Xiao Yan didn't care and casually kicked Mu Li out of the stone room with a solid thud. A hidden force erupted as Mu Li flew backward, and his body exploded into a display of red fireworks.
Xiao Yan brushed the dust off his clothes, then strolled over to Little Fairy Doctor in a good mood.
It would be a lie if Little Fairy Doctor said she wasn't scared when she saw Xiao Yan coming toward her. Yet, after a moment's thought, she realized that if Xiao Yan had really intended to kill her to monopolize the tomb, she would have been a corpse by now.
"You are definitely more than a 2-star Dou Practitioner," Little Fairy Doctor stated confidently.
Xiao Yan gave a faint smile and said, "Your Qingshan Town really is a place of simple folks. I claimed to be a 2-star Dou Practitioner, and you all just believed it."
With a disgruntled face, the Little Fairy Doctor replied, "Who would have thought that a teenager of fifteen or sixteen could be so terrifyingly powerful? You're not an ordinary person, are you?"
"I have nothing to hide. I am Xiao Yan, the Little Clan Leader of the Xiao Clan from Wu Tan City. If you ever come to Wu Tan City, just mention my name to the Xiao Clan. I've got your back," Xiao Yan confidently patted his chest.
Little Fairy Doctor's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She had heard about Wu Tan City. After all, it was one of the major cities in the Jia Ma Empire.
"Can't this stone box be opened?" Xiao Yan looked at the unopened stone box. Compared to something like the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, he was more concerned about what might be inside the third box.
It seemed that the owner of the tomb likely had the strength of a Dou King. The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, though unmarked in terms of level, was at least of the High Xuan Class. Moreover, considering the rare Flying Dou Technique, the strength of the tomb owner was certainly not low.
Xiao Yan guessed that the third stone box might also contain a High Xuan Class Dou Technique, likely of a particularly special type.
Little Fairy Doctor refocused her attention when Xiao Yan asked her about the stone box and began to slowly turn the key. Soon, the stone box opened with a click.
As expected, it contained another scroll.
"High Xuan Class Dou Technique: Mad Lion Chant."
"Once cultivated to a major level of mastery, the use of the Mad Lion Chant allows the practitioner to merge the power of their flesh and blood with their own Dou Qi, condensing the Blood Fury Mad Lion. This can be used to deliver a Blood Fury Strike or to defensively manifest the Lion Chant Guard, making it an integrated offensive and defensive body-tempering Dou Technique."
"Only those with a formidable physique can cultivate this technique. The stronger the body, the more powerful the Blood Fury becomes."
Xiao Yan's eyes lit up. This was an integrated offensive and defensive body-tempering Dou Technique, similar to the Octane Blast!
Having already cultivated the Octane Blast to a major level of mastery, his physical strength had long surpassed that of an ordinary person, which essentially allowed him to skip the introductory phase of the Mad Lion Chant since his foundation was already solid.
Seeing the look in Xiao Yan's eyes, the Little Fairy Doctor knew this guy also wanted this Dou Technique. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, you can have this Dou Technique. I don't fancy turning myself into a mass of muscles."
Xiao Yan touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed as he always seemed to be taking advantage. He had taken two of the three stone boxes, secretly pocketed a valuable map fragment, and even taken the most precious medicinal ingredients.
"Then these are for you."
"No need, those gold and silver treasures are of no use to me. Since you're the Little Clan Leader, they'll be more useful if you take them back to your clan."
"I'm not talking about those gold coins."
A series of clear, ringing sounds echoed as Xiao Yan took out a bottle of medicinal pills and shook it, producing a unique melody as the pills collided with the bottle.
The Little Fairy Doctor snatched the bottle with a whoosh the moment she saw it and carefully poured out a light green pill the size of a dragon's eye.
She sniffed the fragrance, which was refreshing and soothing, and after gently scraping it with her finger, she exclaimed in surprise, "This must be a 2nd-tier medicinal pill, and it's a healing type."
"Pretty impressive that you can tell. This is a Minor Rejuvenation Pill, a 2nd-tier medicinal pill effective for both external and internal injuries." This was Xiao Yan's own refinement, as he, Xiao Yan, did not want to feel too indebted to the Little Fairy Doctor.
He had taken quite a lot after all!
Holding the Minor Rejuvenation Pill with sheer joy, Little Fairy Doctor bounded toward the cave entrance. As for the gold coins, Xiao Yan could only put them in his storage ring, not wanting to waste them.
In a place like Qingshan Town, even a 1st-tier medicinal pill was rare, let alone a 2nd-tier one. Moreover, Little Fairy Doctor's greatest desire in her heart was still to become an alchemist.
When they reached the cave entrance, Xiao Yan opened his hands and let the black flames surge into the cave like a tide, incinerating everything inside. Even the stone boxes, chairs, and herb garden, which were supposed to be incombustible, were destroyed by the Nihility Devouring Flame.
Xiao Yan wasn't attempting to destroy evidence due to fear of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company; rather, the mysterious fragment map made him extra cautious, as he feared even the slightest clue could lead to his discovery by others.
"There are still some members of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company above us, and they might cut the rope," Xiao Yan sensed with his Spiritual Strength that there were several people directly above the cave, likely left there by Mu Li as a precaution.
"I have a Rank 1 Blue Eagle that can get us out of here," Little Fairy Doctor pulled out a short bamboo flute from her bosom. She then put it to her lips and blew gently, producing a somewhat strange sound wave that quickly spread from the flute.
"You still have a trick up your sleeve?!"
"What's wrong with a girl being a little cautious when she's out and about?"
Not long after, a giant eagle with an azure body appeared in front of the duo.
"Let's fly up and deal with those mercenaries first."
They landed at the edge of the cliff, and Xiao Yan casually dispatched the few mercenaries standing guard.
The wind ruffled Little Fairy Doctor's hair as it blew strongly against her, pressing her clothes tightly to her body and subtly outlining her graceful curves.
She brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead with her slender fingers and watched Xiao Yan's back, knowing it was time for them to part ways.
"Where do you plan to go?" Xiao Yan asked after dusting off his hands.
Little Fairy Doctor smiled faintly, "I'm heading back to the herb gathering team. The influence of the Thousand Medicine House is no weaker than that of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company; they wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Xiao Yan shrugged. "Alright then, it looks like this is where we say goodbye."
Now that he had acquired two High Xuan Class Dou Techniques that suited him perfectly, Xiao Yan needed to focus on cultivating the Spirit Heart Gathering Soul Technique and locating the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. In order to do this, he had to venture deeper into the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Seeing Xiao Yan's demeanor, the Little Fairy Doctor could only nod her head, leap onto the Blue Eagle, and prepare to fly back to the herb gathering team's camp.
"If you run into anything you can't handle, send your Blue Eagle to find me deep in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
A faint smile lifted the corners of Little Fairy Doctor's mouth, and a long-missed warmth rose from within her heart.
"Take care of yourself first." She directed the Blue Eagle in the direction of the herb gathering team and flew away, leaving behind words laden with a special meaning.
As she soared through the sky, the Little Fairy Doctor suddenly remembered something. She pulled out the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture from her bag and murmured to herself:
"Strange, what was that odd feeling the first time I got this Seven-Colored Poison Scripture?"
