Chapter 1078 Seven-colored Poison Scripture_1

Walking through the quiet and dark cave, a faint chill lingered all around, and in the silent corridor, only their subtle footsteps could be heard.

Surrounded by the gloomy environment, Xiao Yi Xian involuntarily hugged her arms, looked up with slight hesitation at Xu Ran who was walking slowly ahead, then quickly quickened her pace to tightly follow behind him. In this kind of environment, it was only the young man before her that could give her an added sense of security.

Now, she had absolute trust in the youth beside her.

Ever since she had seen Xu Ran slay that small snake with lightning speed, she hadn't felt afraid at all while walking inside this cave.

If everything Xu Ran said was true, then Xu Ran's strength was absolutely far beyond her imagination.

Thinking back on everything about Xu Ran these past two days, she found him more and more unfathomable.

Qing Shan Town was, after all, a small place, and although there were many who came and went from all directions, there were not many who knew about the details of Xu Ran. But soon, probably just over a week more, the deeds concerning Xu Ran would spread.

By then, Xiao Yi Xian would understand just how terrifying a person Xu Ran was.

And only then would the people of the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps realize the horror of the existence they had provoked. However, by that time, they would have gone to hell, and it would be too late for regrets.

At the very end of the cave was a huge stone chamber, which looked rather simple and spacious. On the walls, Moonlight Stones were embedded for illumination. In the center of the chamber, there was a seat, upon which sat a skeletal figure, its skull sunken and resting on its pale thigh bones, giving off a somewhat eerie vibe in this quiet atmosphere.

In front of the seat, there stood a rather long and wide stone platform, upon which three locked stone boxes were neatly arranged.

Additionally, in three corners of the stone chamber, there were piles of glittering gold coins and other precious belongings; the amount of gold alone was probably no less than several hundred thousand.

Treasure and money were not in short supply for Xu Ran, and it seemed that the original owner of these riches had placed them carelessly, apparently not valuing these worldly possessions too much either.

In the last corner, a small flowerbed had been built up with soil, where various kinds of flowers and plants were grown, and a strange fragrance lingered in the air.

Looking at these plants, Xiao Yi Xian quickened her steps. While others might not recognize these things, they knew very well that these seemingly ordinary flowers and plants were far more genuine and precious than those piles of gold coins.

"Purple Blue Leaf, White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Snow Lotus Seed..."

Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at the small flowerbed, and the names of rare and hard-to-find high-grade medicinal materials secretly popped out from Xiao Yi Xian's rosy lips.

These medicinal materials, even in the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, were very rare.

"Xu Ran, you are an Alchemist; you should take all these herbs," Xiao Yi Xian said, looking towards Xu Ran. If it had been before, at the sight of so many treasures, especially the herbs, she probably would have been extremely excited and even started discussing with Xu Ran how to divide them up. But now, she had no such thoughts. Xu Ran was an Alchemist, and these herbs would probably be of great use in his hands.

"Silly girl." A warmth filled Xu Ran's heart. He hadn't expected that Xiao Yi Xian would think to let him take all the medicinal materials. Although Xiao Yi Xian was not an Alchemist, she was still a healer, familiar with the principles of medicine, and the allure of these materials for Xiao Yi Xian was not small. She didn't even take a glance at the many gold coins in front of her, focusing her attention only on these herbs, which was telling enough.

But the more naive a girl like her was, the more Xu Ran cherished her, and the more he felt she was worth protecting.

"You need these medicinal herbs more than I do. They will come in handy when you start alchemy." To Xu Ran, these herbs were too lowly, but to Xiao Yi Xian, they were treasures.

"I'm not an Alchemist," murmured Xiao Yi Xian.

"Who says you aren't? Anything is possible, and I can teach you," Xu Ran said, affectionately ruffling Xiao Yi Xian's long hair. Every doctor dreams of becoming a true Alchemist, and Xiao Yi Xian was no exception.

"But I don't meet the criteria to become an Alchemist," Xiao Yi Xian said somewhat disheartened. To be an Alchemist, one must at least have the fire property. This simple fact had thwarted many who wished to become Alchemists.

"If I say you can, then you can. Hurry up and store these herbs properly; don't hesitate, or it will be daylight soon," Xu Ran said with a smile.

"Oh."

Xiao Yi Xian glanced at Xu Ran. She dared not disregard his words now, but what could Xu Ran do? She had never heard of anyone without the fire property becoming an Alchemist throughout ancient and modern times. Could it be that Xu Ran could turn her into someone with fire property?

Xiao Yi Xian took a little shovel and began carefully excavating the cherished herbs from the flowerbed, placing them into the warm jade bottle.

It took quite some time before Xiao Yi Xian had collected all the herbs.

"You're becoming quite the little rich girl," Xu Ran teased as he looked at the bulging belly of Xiao Yi Xian. Naturally, she didn't have a Storage Ring yet, so she hid everything in her clothes, which made her slender waist look much fuller.

"Is that any of your business?"

Xiao Yi Xian's face turned red as she looked at the three boxes in front of her.

She knew that the real treasures of the cave master were in these boxes.

"Take them all. I told you I'm not interested in those," Xu Ran yawned. He had already opened the boxes to peek inside. Only the Flight Combat Technique seemed slightly interesting, but he had long outgrown the need for such things.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi Xian huffed lightly and began to open the boxes one by one. She was astonished by the contents, and her emotions intensified when she opened the box containing the Seven-colored Poison Scripture, revealing its contents. Yet her eyes dimmed a bit.

What she truly wished for was to be an Alchemist revered by everyone, not a Poison Master who was both loathed and feared. An Alchemist was a respected profession, while a Poison Master was only despised, especially one who couldn't even control their own body.

However, according to the Poison Scripture, her cultivation speed in the future would be very fast.

"Do you want this Flight Combat Technique?" Xiao Yi Xian blinked her large eyes. Besides the Seven-colored Poison Scripture, this Flight Combat Technique was the most precious thing here.

"No need. With your strength, it's perfect for you to cultivate," Xu Ran shook his head.

"You really are a difficult one to figure out," Xiao Yi Xian pouted. Even great families may not possess a Flight Combat Technique, such a rare combat skill, yet Xu Ran couldn't care less about it. This made her even more curious about Xu Ran's background and identity.
