Chapter 125: The Valley

Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian agreed, a smile appeared on Xiao Ming's face.

"Good, since you have agreed, then you can follow us from now on."

Saying this, Xiao Ming seemed to remember something and took off the fire-red ring from his finger and handed it to Xiao Yi Xian, pointing at the treasures and said.

"This is an intermediate-level storage ring, it has been with me for a long time, but now I don't need it anymore, take it, and use it to store those things."

"...Thank you, I'll give it back to you later". Looking at the small pile with quite a few gold coins and rare items, Xiao Yi Xian accepted the storage ring from Xiao Ming.

She really needed the storage ring so she could carry those things with her.

With a faint smile, Xiao Ming shook his head and said, "No need, you can keep it. This item is not really precious to me."

When Xiao Yi Xian heard his words, she thought that her own Woeful Poison Body would need many precious things and there was no difference in adding a storage ring, so she did not continue to insist.

She only thought inwardly that if Xiao Ming had no ill intentions, then she would pay him back with all her might in the future.

"By the way, I still call you Xiao Yi Xian (TL: Little Fairy Doctor), I still don't know your real name, can you tell me?" asked Xiao Ming with a curious face.

"Name? I'm an orphan, they used to call me Li Xian'er, but everyone calls me Xiao Yi Xian." Xiao Yi Xian said.

Xiao Ming nodded his head in satisfaction, it was a curiosity he had since he read the original story.

"My name is Xiao Ming, and the little girl next to me is called Zi Yan."

After briefly introducing themselves, Xiao Ming waved his hand to signal Xiao Yi Xian to go ahead and pick up those gold coins.

When Xiao Yi Xian finished collecting all the items.

Only then Xiao Ming took her out of the cave and carried her up the cliff.

Looking at the cave entrance under the cliff, Xiao Ming waved his hand and a red Dou Qi flashed and crashed into the cliff wall.

After doing this, Xiao Ming turned around and asked Xiao Yi Xian.

"I asked you to bring all your important items earlier, did you bring them? We are not going back to Magic Beast Town."

"I brought everything, but where are we going to go next?"

"We're going to spend a few days in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, then we'll go to the Tager Desert to look for a kind of Heavenly Flame." Patting Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ming said.

The Heavenly Flame he was looking for was naturally the Green Lotus Core Flame, and it was still more than a year before the Green Lotus Core Flame was discovered by Medusa, so Xiao Ming was in no hurry.

It was difficult for him to come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, so he could afford to stay for a few days to search for medicinal herbs.

In his perception, the Magic Beast Mountain Range had quite a few treasures.

Moreover, he also promised Zi Yan that he would stay with her in the Magic Beast Mountain Range for a few days, so he can't go back on his word.

"In that case, then we can go somewhere first."

"What kind of place? "Zi Yan thought that Xiao Yi Xian wanted to take them out of the Magic Beast Mountain Range and looked at her a little reluctantly.

Being watched by Zi Yan, Xiao Yi Xian played with her purple lock of hair as she whispered, "It's not far, it's in the valley not far from here, that's the place I found before, I built a thatched hut there and left some clothes, this time I didn't bring a change of clothes with me, so I thought..."

At those words, Zi Yan didn't look at her anymore.

"Is it that place?" Xiao Ming pointed to the north and said, there he perceived several medicinal herbs, one had to say that Zi Yan's talent for treasure hunting was really useful.

"How do you know?" Xiao Yi Xian said in surprise.

"Just a little trick." Xiao Ming smiled, then turned to look at Zi Yan, he said, "Zi Yan, take her with you and we'll go find the medicinal herbs."

Zi Yan looked at Xiao Yi Xian and nodded obediently under the temptation of medicinal herbs.

"Alright, let's go quickly."

With that, she arrived at Xiao Yi Xian's side and took her hand.

She shot off into the sky and flew north, Xiao Ming could sense the medicinal herbs, so naturally, she could too, so there was no need for anyone to point the way for her.

Down below, looking at Zi Yan who had become overzealous, Xiao Ming smiled helplessly.

"Zi Yan's obsession with growing up is really profound."

When his voice fell, Xiao Ming's back vibrated and his whole body turned into a shadow to chase after Zi Yan.

The valley was not far from the cliff, and the three of them managed to reach it after a few moments.

Once they entered the depths of the valley and slowly descended into the depths of the basin, the dense energy that filled the small valley caused Xiao Ming to take a deep breath of air, and instantly, his spirit was refreshed.

"What do you think? This place is good, isn't it? The small valley here is completely cut off from the outside, and the sky is covered by a dense fog, making it very hidden, so if it wasn't for Xiao Lan, who happened to walk in once, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to discover this strange place." Looking at Xiao Ming's expression, Xiao Yi Xian smiled with a smug face and said in a delicate voice.

Knowing that Xiao Lan whom Xiao Yi Xian was talking about must be a flying magical beast that she had raised, Xiao Ming nodded his head.

"The energy is exceptionally abundant, and it is truly a treasure trove with so many rare medicinal herbs gathered."

In the valley, the light was dim but one could still vaguely see various precious medicinal herbs growing, and a smell of medicinal fragrance, intermingled with the mist, made one feel refreshed.

Zi Yan sensed the location of several medicinal herbs and immediately flew toward them.

Xiao Ming did not stop her but said to Xiao Yi Xian.

"You should stay here for the next few days, since we are searching for medicinal herbs in the middle of the mountain range, we might attract a fifth or even sixth-rank magical beast. It might not be very safe to follow us. I'll come for you in a few days."

"Mm." Xiao Yi Xian made no comment, and her slender finger pointed to a thatched hut in the corner, smiling, "In the valley, I've built a thatched hut, so it won't be a problem to stay for a while."

"That's good." Saying this, Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Yi Xian, "The temperature in the middle of the valley is too low at night, so you should go to the thatched hut first, and I will wait here for Zi Yan to return."

After replying softly, Xiao Yi Xian headed for the thatched hut.

Xiao Ming, for his part, stood his ground and watched the valley curiously.

Xiao Ming was curious as to why this valley had gathered so much energy.

However, no matter how much he analyzed it, he could not understand the reason, and in the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and give up.

After standing for a while, Zi Yan flew back.

In her hands, she also carried several jade boxes, and it was obvious what they contained.

"The most valuable medicinal herbs in the valley are here, and we'll both get half. Remember to refine my share into pills, okay?"

"Understood." Placing the medicinal herbs in the storage ring, Xiao Ming asked again with some hesitation, "Right Zi Yan, your strength should have increased a lot after eating all those medicinal herbs, but when exactly will you be able to reach the Dou Emperor realm?"

"To Dou Emperor, I still have a distance to go." Speaking of this, Zi Yan felt somewhat helpless.

She had eaten many medicinal herbs over the years, but it still wasn't enough.

If other magical beasts had eaten so many medicinal herbs, they would have reached Dou Emperor long ago, knowing that the magical beasts guarding those medicinal herbs were of the fifth or sixth rank, and being able to guard those medicinal herbs meant that the herbs were of great use to them.

Xiao Ming guessed that it had something to do with the fact that her original body was an Ancient Void Dragon.

However, with his help, Zi Yan should be able to breakthrough to Dou Emperor faster than in the original story.

After comforting Zi Yan a few times, Xiao Ming led her towards the thatched hut.

They would rest here tonight and leave the next day.
