Chapter 1062 Xiao Yi Xian_1

The Yunlan Sect, as one of the Jia Ma Empire's foremost colossal forces, has its sect situated atop a majestic mountain only a dozen or so miles from the Empire's capital city. Hence, because of the Yunlan Sect's name, this mountain has come to be known as Yunlan Mountain.

Yunlan Mountain is steep and precipitous, with cliffs on three sides, leaving only a single road to reach the summit. It can truly be considered a strategic location that is easy to defend but hard to attack. Moreover, disciples of the Yunlan Sect patrol the mountain rigorously, turning the entire range into a veritable fortress.

Only two miles away from the base of Yunlan Mountain, there lies fifty thousand cavalry troops stationed by the Empire. Although they are ostensibly tasked with defending the capital, anyone can see that they are the Empire's rulers' precaution against the formidable tiger lurking close to the capital.

At the summit of the mountain behind the Yunlan Sect, clouds and mists swirl around, creating a scene reminiscent of a heavenly paradise.

On a protruding black rock at the edge of a precipice, a woman clad in a moon-white gown sits cross-legged, forming the hand seals necessary for cultivation, her eyes closed in practice. As she breathes in and out, forming a perfect cycle, with each transition of the cycle, the richly energized air around her emits wisps of faint green Qi. This Qi whirls around her, continuously absorbed into her body for refinement and collection...

The woman, wearing a gold and purple tight-fitting brocade gown, had her three thousand strands of black hair styled in a long, Phoenix-crying shape, exuding an undeniably noble air that was hard to conceal. Her features were serene and beautiful, like a clear spring on a quiet mountain, inspiring both reverence due to her high status and an irresistible longing.

This was the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun.

"Ya Fei actually made a breakthrough to Dou Huang?" Yun Yun's eyes snapped open as she read the message that had just been delivered, utterly shocked. Ever since Xu Ran had appeared, Yun Yun had been silently monitoring every move he made in Wu Tan City.

And Ya Fei's breakthrough news was immediately known to Yun Yun as well.

"Ya Fei of the Mittel Family, who wasn't even a Dou Shi before, has now directly broken through to become a Dou Huang. What kind of miraculous elixir has she consumed? Xu Ran is a Seventh Rank Alchemist, could it be that Xu Ran gave Ya Fei a Seventh-Grade Elixir? But even a regular Seventh-Grade Elixir shouldn't have this effect, right? Who exactly is Xu Ran?"

"With such a defy-the-heavens ability, if possible, couldn't he produce strong warriors in large quantities?" Stunned amazement filled Yun Yun's beautiful eyes.

Even she felt somewhat powerless. She had cultivated for so many years, diligently and meticulously, and had only reached the "Cultivation Level" of a Dou Huang.

And now here was someone who merely swallowed an Elixir, and their "Cultivation Level" had reached the same tier as hers, or even stronger.

This... Any normal cultivator who encountered such a situation would probably have their Dao heart collapse, even giving rise to inner demons.

After all, knowing this kind of thing, it is impossible not to think of taking shortcuts to become a stronger cultivator faster. For instance, befriending Xu Ran? Even she, upon hearing this news, was restless and could hardly return to her cultivation state quickly.

"I used to think little of it, but it turns out that Xu Ran is truly a superior being," murmured Yun Yun, biting her silver teeth. For the first time, she felt curious and favorably inclined towards someone she had never met.

If a man like Xu Ran could join the Yunlan Sect, why should the sect have to endure such suffering in the future? Although the Yunlan Sect is considered powerful within the Jia Ma Empire, it is the weakest presence among the major powers of the entire Northwest Continent. But if a powerful Alchemist joined, the situation would be completely different. There aren't many forces that have a Seventh Rank Alchemist in residence.

"Fortunately, Yan Ran is with Xu Ran. Otherwise, I really can't think of any way to get closer to Xu Ran."

"However, this guy seems to be a bit of a playboy. Poor Yan Ran, she is bound to be heartbroken in the future."

Yun Yun had collected too much information about Xu Ran these past few days, most of which were about Xu Ran's gossip-filled romantic history, after all, that was the easiest to find. So, Xu Ran had already been categorized by Yun Yun as a womanizer.

"But now I should also be on my way, Purple Crystal Winged Lion King," Yun Yun's beautiful eyes condensed, as she gathered and concealed all the aura around her body.

...

Xu Ran quickly arrived in Qing Shan Town, where Xiao Yi Xian was located.

Qing Shan Town, also known as Magical Beast Town due to its proximity to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, teemed with mercenaries who gamble their lives away. They roamed the streets in groups, clinging to each other's arms, discussing without inhibition which women in town were the most flavorful, which taverns had the strongest liquor, and which magical beasts were the fiercest...

Thousand Medicine Pavilion was a well-known pharmacy here. In particular, Xiao Yi Xian, the pharmacy's specially appointed physician, received everyone's recognition and reverence due to her beauty and her noble reputation for saving lives and healing the wounded.

Xiao Yi Xian wore a light white dress, her appearance breathtakingly gorgeous. Her face, with a soft, light smile, exuded a fresh and ethereal quality that significantly elevated her charm.

Xu Ran's gaze swept over the woman's body, eventually resting on her willowy waist, tied by a green belt. Looking at that grip-full waist, astonishment flashed in Xu Ran's eyes.

Among the women Xu Ran knew in the Fighting Spirit Continent, Xun Er was the most moving with her impeccable beauty and mystery, Ya Fei was the epitome of enchanting allure, and Xiao Yu's sensual and long legs always made Xu Ran's gaze linger on them. However, the lady in the white dress before him likely had the most slender and delicate waist of all women.

That waist, thin enough to be encompassed by one's hands, always gave off the impression that it would break with any vigorous movement, making one feel the need to handle it with care and feel deep compassion for it.

At this moment, a long queue stood at the entrance of the Thousand Medicine Pavilion.

Anyone who was injured in the Magic Beast Mountain Range would come to Xiao Yi Xian for treatment. Over time, Xiao Yi Xian had also earned considerable renown in this region.

Of course, her appearance alone was enough to attract countless people to see her just once.

"As expected of Xiao Yi Xian, so beautiful. Her waist is so slender, if only I could..."

"If I could marry Xiao Yi Xian, no, just being able to hold her once would make my life worthwhile."

"Go to hell, is Xiao Yi Xian someone you can touch? It's best not to have such thoughts, or you'll die a terrible death."

In the queue, countless people looked at Xiao Yi Xian with eyes filled with admiration. Even Xu Ran admired Xiao Yi Xian's looks and temperament, let alone other people. However, nobody really dared to do anything to Xiao Yi Xian, or those who had been healed by her would not show any mercy.

"Is this Xiao Yi Xian?" Xu Ran looked at Xiao Yi Xian and gently smiled. In this life, Xiao Yi Xian would be protected by him.
