Chapter 15: First Encounter with Xiao Yixian!

Qingshan Town is located in the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, almost bordering the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

At Gu Fei's speed, it took less than a week to arrive here, and he had even found time to refine the Sea Heart Flame.

"Qingshan Town is also known as Moshou Xiaozhen, right?"

Gu Fei looked at the bustling, lively small town before him and whispered softly.

Qingshan Town is close to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, so it should logically be somewhat dangerous.

After all, in the minds of Magical Beasts, there is not much distinction regarding human territory; Qingshan Town is prosperous and lively with many cultivation resources, so powerful Magical Beasts should be coming to plunder it from time to time.

However, there are many mercenary groups here, led by three major mercenary groups, each with over a hundred members, who guard the peace of Qingshan Town while taking on missions.

Although a small number of mercenaries cannot be considered good people, most of them treat Qingshan Town as their home and naturally guard it well.

Taking a stroll here is a pretty good choice.

Walking on the streets of Qingshan Town and looking at the dazzling array of shops all around, Gu Fei rubbed his chin.

He wandered aimlessly, and before long, he arrived at a pharmacy called Wanyao Pavilion.

The pharmacy was decorated gorgeously, and a faint medicinal fragrance drifted from within; it looked quite good.

There were several tall and burly mercenaries guarding the entrance of the shop, likely hired by the shopkeeper to act as guards.

Although the overall order in Qingshan Town is well-maintained, there are inevitably petty thieves, and these mercenaries are there to deal with them.

Gu Fei looked around Wanyao Pavilion, sniffing the faint medicinal fragrance in the air, his expression carrying a hint of happiness.

Found it.

At the same time, a purple-haired young girl walked into the shop entrance.

Her light footsteps approached from afar, and Gu Fei turned his head to look, following the sound involuntarily.

The woman was wearing a pale white dress; although her appearance could not be called peerless, she could still be called a rare beauty.

Her calmly smiling cheeks exuded a fresh and ethereal temperament, and this unique temperament immediately caused the woman's charm to rise significantly.

Her willow waist, which could barely be spanned by a hand, was tied with a green ribbon; it was the most slender and delicate waist Gu Fei had ever seen on a woman.

At this moment, Gu Fei was not wearing a black robe as he did in the Black-Corner Region, but had long since changed into the attire of a young nobleman, handsome and dashing.

Although he perfectly concealed his aura, that unique temperament was still very attractive.

At a glance, the most eye-catching person in the entire pharmacy was Gu Fei.

Although his clothing was not very luxurious and his aura indicated that his strength was not top-tier, he always had a unique charm that made people unable to help but take a few more looks at him.

The young man stood tall and straight, his upright figure making it clear at a glance that he was a wealthy young master from some noble family.

He was definitely not like those vulgar mercenaries who were very active in Qingshan Town and lived by licking blood from the edge of a blade.

"Young Master, are you looking for medicinal herbs?"

Xiao Yixian wore a faint smile and took the initiative to greet him.

Her pair of purple eyes looked at Gu Fei with a smile, her delicate hands hidden within her sleeves.

Even though Gu Fei was not obsessed with beauty, his tone of voice could not help but soften a little.

Through the ethereal temperament and elegant, calm beauty of the purple-haired girl before him, Gu Fei had already guessed that this girl was Xiao Yixian.

Thus, he began to inquire about the medicinal herbs.

"I need Blood Lotus Essence, as well as herbs like Ice Heart Flame Grass."

Although Xiao Yixian was proficient in pharmacology and could heal the sick and save lives, she had always stayed in this small Qingshan Town, and her knowledge was truly limited.

The herbs Gu Fei mentioned were not common, and upon hearing them suddenly, Xiao Yixian did not know what Blood Lotus Essence was for a moment.

【Xiao Yixian feels confused, Emotion Value +90】

Her beautiful eyes carried some shyness, and she blushed a little because of her shallow knowledge.

Gu Fei heard the system's prompt and understood, taking the initiative to clear up Xiao Yixian's confusion to avoid her embarrassment.

"This Blood Lotus Essence is a medicinal herb even more potent than Yellow Lotus Essence."

She had heard of Yellow Lotus Essence, but this Blood Lotus Essence was even more potent than Yellow Lotus Essence?

Xiao Yixian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and continued to listen to Gu Fei.

Seeing Xiao Yixian nod, Gu Fei continued.

"The moment I stepped into the pharmacy, I smelled the scent of Blood Lotus Essence; it is very rich."

Seeing that Xiao Yixian still looked a bit at a loss, Gu Fei did not want to embarrass the beauty, so he took the initiative to walk toward the source of the scent.

He took a few steps forward and carefully scanned the surroundings.

Soon, Gu Fei found it in an inconspicuous corner of the pharmacy.

Gu Fei picked up the Blood Lotus Essence and walked over, placing it in his palm for Xiao Yixian to see.

"It is this."

The Blood Lotus Essence looked much the same as Yellow Lotus Essence, only it was tinged with a pale red.

Although it was only a small piece, the fragrance was rich; Xiao Yixian took a light sniff and felt refreshed, a little light appearing in her eyes.

【Xiao Yixian feels admiration, Emotion Value +90】

As expected, looking at the rich knowledge of medicinal herbs Gu Fei possessed, as well as that unique and keen perception.

Xiao Yixian could not help but feel a trace of admiration for this handsome young master in her heart.

Qingshan Town is not big, and Xiao Yixian has not come into contact with many wealthy young masters.

But those young masters would come to disturb her at the place where she treated the sick and saved lives every few days, talking about seeking marriage with heavy gold.

Xiao Yixian naturally found it annoying, but her personality was soft, and she could not say anything harsh.

She could only choose to ignore them.

But in her heart, her disgust for those incompetent young masters grew a bit more.

Right now, although Gu Fei's attire was a bit more ordinary than those young masters, his strength was much greater than theirs.

Tiny glimmers of light flashed in Xiao Yixian's eyes as she looked at Gu Fei with admiration.

"Young Master, are you an Alchemist?"

Xiao Yixian asked subconsciously.

After all, a unique perception of medicinal herbs and a rich reserve of knowledge are essential skills for an Alchemist.

"Hmm!"

Regarding this point, Gu Fei saw no need to hide it.

He nodded and replied.

Xiao Yixian smiled with pleasant surprise.

"The Young Master really is an Alchemist!"

【Xiao Yixian feels admiration, Emotion Value +100】

Xiao Yixian sighed, her eyes shining even brighter.

She was quite excited, a faint pink flush appearing on her face.

【Xiao Yixian feels excitement, Emotion Value +80】

Everyone in Qingshan Town knows that the famous Xiao Yixian has always dreamed of becoming an Alchemist.

Her gentle and kind personality makes many people like to come to Xiao Yixian for treatment when they are injured, and she is also extremely skilled at curing illnesses and saving lives.

That is why she earned the beautiful title of "Xiao Yixian."

Every time a powerful Alchemist comes to Qingshan Town, Xiao Yixian always asks them for advice.

However, because her attributes are not suited for being an Alchemist, Xiao Yixian had to settle for second best and became a physician who saves lives and heals the wounded.

A physician can only refine things like medicinal powders, but cannot refine Pills with powerful effects.
