Chapter 75: The Kindest Healer's Heart (Part 1)

Actually, Xiao Yan guessed that Boss Yao was probably not lying.

The moment Xiao Yan arrived at Qingshan Town and saw Xiao Yixian, he had already noticed something off.

That was Xiao Yixian's strength.

Xiao Yan's powerful Soul Force detected that Xiao Yixian had already reached Six Star Dou Zhe! And it was precisely because of this unusual rise in Cultivation Realm, combined with the Seven Color Poison Classic's ability to concoct poisons, that Xiao Yixian was able to escape when the Wan Yao Zhai and Wolf Head Mercenary Corps first tried to capture her.

One must remember that a few months ago, when Xiao Yan first met Xiao Yixian, she was still at the Dou Power stage, and after just a few months apart, her strength had jumped an entire major rank!

This speed was even faster than Xiao Yan's.

And most importantly, Xiao Yan discovered that Blue Eagle had also been poisoned.

What Xiao Yan applied to Blue Eagle was not just wound medicine, but also Medicinal Powder ground from Detoxification Pills. Although the toxicity was very weak, over time even magical beasts would suffer organ failure and die.

And among the three stone boxes in the Cave, what Xiao Yixian obtained was a Poison Classic, not the pharmacopoeia Boss Yao spoke of, so Xiao Yixian had absolutely no problem poisoning people.

What Xiao Yan couldn't understand, however, was why Xiao Yixian would poison the residents of Qingshan Town. Even Blue Eagle had been poisoned.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yan stored Boss Yao's Corpse into his storage ring and used Purple Cloud Wings to shoot straight up into the Sky.

Seeing Xiao Yan's arrival, Xiao Yixian's eyes carried a trace of grievance and speechlessness.

Because when Xiao Yan tossed her into the air for Little Blue to catch, he hadn't untied her.

Right now Xiao Yixian was like a bundled-up quilt, strapped onto Blue Eagle's back, completely unable to move.

"Sorry, sorry, I was in too much of a rush, didn't untie you." Xiao Yan apologized verbally, but his expression was one of suppressed laughter.

"Still laughing!"

After Xiao Yan used Black Flame to burn all the ropes apart, Xiao Yixian asked: "Everything taken care of?"

Xiao Yan nodded and slowly descended with Blue Eagle onto the Wan Yao Zhai estate.

Xiao Yixian dismounted from Blue Eagle's back, and seeing the estate reduced to ruins, dilapidated and littered with Corpses, she let out a sigh.

After all, this was the place where she had lived, and deep inside she felt some sadness.

"Oh right, did you find the formula they used for the poisoning? There are still quite a few people in Qingshan Town waiting to be saved." Xiao Yixian suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly asked.

Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Of course I found it. Mu She and Boss Yao confessed everything before they died. To make you lose the people's favor, they deliberately poisoned the water source and then framed you for it."

"The poison formula was found on Boss Yao."

Xiao Yan released Boss Yao's Corpse and took out a poison formula from his body. This formula was actually the ancient prescription Xiao Yan had thrown out at the very beginning to trade for Xiao Yixian, which Boss Yao had picked up.

Xiao Yan had never intended to let these people go from the start. Cutting the grass without removing the roots would only bring trouble if any leftover harm came back for revenge.

Xiao Yixian took the poison formula and looked at it, her expression furious as she said: "How truly despicable, doing such things for their own benefit!"

"Don't worry, this kind of minor poison is nothing. I have Detoxification Pills that can cure it." Xiao Yan said, taking out a Pill Bottle of Detoxification Pills.

"That's good then." Xiao Yixian breathed a sigh of relief, finally setting down the great weight on her heart.

After a while, seeing that the fighting in the estate had stopped, the residents of Qingshan Town also began to gather around.

"That's Mu She! And Boss Yao of Wan Yao Zhai!"

"They're all dead!"

"The Wolf Head Mercenary Corps is finished."

Hearing the residents' chatter, Xiao Yan stepped forward and said: "Fellow residents of Qingshan Town, I am a friend of Xiao Yixian. Learning that Xiao Yixian had been framed, I rushed here to Qingshan Town."

"Framed? You mean Xiao Yixian isn't the culprit behind this plague?" The mayor of Qingshan Town stepped out from the crowd and asked excitedly.

Xiao Yan shook his head and said: "I believe you've all heard that Xiao Yixian obtained some quite valuable treasures. To force her to hand them over, Mu She of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps and Boss Yao joined hands and poisoned the water source of Qingshan Town. You didn't catch a plague—you were poisoned."

"Poisoned!!"

"Then what do we do!"

"Our Qingshan Town doesn't have a single Alchemist."

Xiao Yan raised his hand to quiet everyone down, took out a Pill Bottle and said: "Everyone don't worry, I've already found the poison formula on Boss Yao. Fortunately, this poison isn't that fierce. I have some One Grade Pill Detoxification Pills here. Toss the Elixir into the well water to dissolve, and once everyone drinks it, you'll be fine."

Seeing Xiao Yan produce Elixirs, everyone's eyes lit up. In this remote little town, Elixirs were legendary things.

"Thank you, benefactor, you are the savior of our Qingshan Town."

Xiao Yan hurriedly helped up the mayor who was about to kneel, scratched his nose and smiled: "I didn't really do anything. One Grade Pill Elixirs aren't worth much. Hurry up, the residents are still waiting."

Xiao Yan handed the Elixir to the mayor; the mayor would arrange the rest.

Seeing the residents beginning to bustle about, Xiao Yan turned to Xiao Yixian and asked: "What do you plan to do?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian sighed softly. Wan Yao Zhai was gone, Mu She and Boss Yao were both dead, and all past grievances vanished like smoke. Her rosy lips pressed together slightly, and she said softly: "I think... I should leave Qingshan Town too."

Sitting atop Little Blue, Xiao Yixian beckoned to Xiao Yan and said: "Come on up, I'll take you somewhere nice."

"Oh? You discovered another Cave?!"

Led by Xiao Yixian, they flew straight from high up into the clouds of a Shan Mai, and beneath the mist was actually a hidden Small Valley!

The Small Valley was filled with rich energy. Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and instantly his spirit was lifted.

"The wood-attribute energy here is dense and pure—it's absolutely a perfect place to grow Medicinal Material, Spirit herbs and exotic fruits!" Xiao Yan truly lived up to being an Alchemist; one deep breath and he already knew.

"How about it, this place is great, right? This Small Valley here is completely cut off from the outside, and there's thick fog covering the Sky above. Extremely well-hidden. If Little Blue hadn't accidentally stumbled in a few months ago, we probably wouldn't have discovered this wonder." Watching Xiao Yan's astonished expression, Xiao Yixian smiled with a hint of pride.

"It really is a treasure land."

Just as Xiao Yan had thought, the valley could be said to be covered in Medicinal Material everywhere, making this Alchemist Xiao Yan's eyes light up.

Seeing Xiao Yan's eyes light up, looking like he wanted to pocket every herb, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but laugh and say: "Xiao Yan, you're an Alchemist, aren't you."

Xiao Yan shrugged and said: "It's because you never asked me that I didn't say anything. I wasn't deliberately hiding it from you."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yixian suddenly asked with a serious expression: "Xiao Yan, tell me honestly—the poison in the Qingshan Town residents, it actually has something to do with me, doesn't it."

Looking at Xiao Yixian's earnest questioning face, Xiao Yan asked back: "What makes you think that?"

"Because you're terrible at lying."

Xiao Yixian looked at Xiao Yan with a hint of envy and said: "Actually, I never told you—my innate Dou Qi attribute is Poison Dou Qi. A few months ago, after obtaining the Seven Color Poison Classic in the Cave, I found that my Cultivation Realm was rising unusually fast for some reason. Sometimes I'd wake up from sleep and my Cultivation Realm had already gone up."

"And every poisoned resident in Qingshan Town had been treated by me in the past few months, and had taken the medicine I prepared."

"Do you know something?"
