Little Fairy Doctor

"Huh? That's Blood Lotus Essence?!"

Xiao Yan's gaze pierced through the transparent counter, his eyes fixed on a pale yellow, lumpy object in the far corner.

Originally, Xiao Yan had only come to Green Mountain Town's apothecary to see if there were any suitable medicinal herbs for practice. He didn't expect to encounter Blood Lotus Essence, one of the main ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill.

Blood Lotus Essence is an extremely rare, high-level medicinal material. It usually grows alongside the lower-level Yellow Lotus Essence, and its appearance is almost identical to Yellow Lotus Essence. If it weren't for the fact that Blood Lotus Essence is one of the main ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill needed to subdue a Strange Flame, and the recipe had detailed explanations on how to distinguish them, Xiao Yan would definitely have had difficulty telling the two apart.

After a moment, he licked his lips, casually walked to the counter, put his hands behind his back, pretended to look around, and said in a deep voice, "Shopkeeper."

Seeing Xiao Yan's arrogant appearance, the shopkeeper hurried over, rubbing his hands together with a smile, and asked, "This young master, what do you need?"

Xiao Yan glanced at the shopkeeper with an arrogant look, acting like a young master from a large family, and said proudly, "My family needs to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs wholesale. I want to see if you have any good ones here."

The shopkeeper was secretly delighted upon hearing this. Seeing Xiao Yan's rich second-generation appearance, he was already secretly planning to fleece him.

"Hehehe, young master has a good eye. My shop has the best medicinal herbs in Green Mountain Town. Feel free to look around. I'll give you a discount on any medicinal herbs you need."

Xiao Yan calmly nodded and said, "Bring me those few to take a look at." He casually pointed to a few medicinal herbs on the counter, naturally including the Blood Lotus Essence.

Xiao Yan pretended to smell and look at them, acting completely like an amateur, which caused many people around to chuckle.

"Shopkeeper, the medicinal herbs here aren't very good. Only this Yellow Lotus Essence is passable."

"Young master has a good eye. Our Green Mountain Town's Yellow Lotus Essence is famously good. Since young master likes it, I'll sell it to you for 180 gold coins per pound, even though it's usually 200 gold coins. How much do you need?"

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Xiao Yan sneered inwardly, thinking he was really treating him like a pig to slaughter. The market price for Yellow Lotus Essence was only 80 to 100 gold coins per pound, and he was more than doubling the price.

"Alright, I'll take all you have. Pack it all up for me."

Xiao Yan swaggered out of the apothecary with over ten pounds of Yellow Lotus Essence. Both men, each with eight hundred schemes in their hearts, silently called the other an idiot in their minds.

"Unfortunately, there's only one piece." Xiao Yan went to a deserted place and examined all the Yellow Lotus Essence. Unfortunately, there was only one piece of Blood Lotus Essence; the rest were just ordinary Yellow Lotus Essence.

"Wow, it's Little Fairy Doctor! Why is she here!"

Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to pack up and head to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he suddenly heard a commotion in the town.

"So beautiful, tsk tsk, that waist is so slender. If only I could touch it."

"Idiot, do you want to die? Most of the mercenaries in Green Mountain Town have been treated by Little Fairy Doctor. Be careful someone hears you and cuts off your tongue!"

Two men not far from Xiao Yan were talking in low voices. When one of them said something flirtatious, his companion quickly grabbed him and scolded him in a low voice.

Xiao Yan, with his powerful Soul, slightly turned his head and looked at the center of the commotion in surprise, vaguely able to see the figure of a woman in a white dress.

As the crowd dispersed, Xiao Yan finally saw the face of the woman surrounded by the crowd.

The woman wore a set of light white clothes, and her face, with a faint smile, revealed a gentle demeanor in every gesture. Her fresh and ethereal temperament greatly enhanced her charm.

This was the most gentle woman Xiao Yan had ever seen. Every glance and smile was so tender.

Xiao Yan relied on his powerful Soul to listen to the surrounding discussions. The woman in front of him, called Little Fairy Doctor, was the most famous physician in Green Mountain Town.

Alchemists are very scarce. In cities, most of those who treat people are physicians. Although they cannot refine magical pills, they can make some simple medicinal powders to treat injuries and illnesses.

"Ten Thousand Medicines Hall is going to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to gather herbs and is recruiting a guard team. Little Fairy Doctor will be accompanying them. There are only fifty slots, and the strength must be above Two-Star Dou Zhe. Everyone, hurry up!"

Xiao Yan looked at the strong man shouting and finally understood why it caused such a commotion. When Xiao Yan was in Wutan City, he often saw Herb Gathering Teams come to the Xiao Clan to hire people to protect them while gathering herbs.

"Me, me!!"

"I'll go, I'll go!"

"Little Fairy Doctor is going? I'll go for free!"

"I'll even pay them!"

One muscular man after another rushed towards the person in charge of registration like wolves and tigers. Some people didn't even ask about the price and signed up directly.

"Following the team into the Magical Beast Mountain Range is also good. After all, this is not Wutan City, so it's better to be careful." Xiao Yan pondered for a while, put on his Soul Robe, pulled up his hood, carried the Mystic Heavy Ruler on his back, suppressed his cultivation, and slightly covered his appearance. He also walked towards the registration point.

"There's only one last spot!" The registrar smiled and waved the parchment in his hand, smiling at the crowded people.

"I'll go!" Xiao Yan's slightly immature voice rang out in front of the registrar.

Hearing this immature voice of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, everyone curiously looked at Xiao Yan. The Soul Robe only covered Xiao Yan's eyes, and his general appearance was still visible.

Seeing that fair-skinned, delicate, and youthful appearance, the registrar paused for a moment and said, "Little friend, this isn't a game. At the very least, you need to be a Two-Star Dou Zhe."

"Little kid, go home and drink milk from your mom."

"Go, go, go, get out of the way. Don't waste my time. I'm a Two-Star Dou Zhe. I'm joining."

Two burly men surrounded Xiao Yan from the left and right, each a head taller than him, making Xiao Yan look particularly small.

"Alas, only fools judge by appearances."

Xiao Yan's hands shot out like dragons emerging from the sea, each hand pressing down on one of the men's shoulders. With a sudden downward push, a tremendous force directly pinned the two burly men to the ground.

No matter how much they struggled, they couldn't shake off the hand suppressing them.

"What the!!"

"6666, awesome, bro! Natural-born strength!"

Not to mention the onlookers, even the registrar was stunned. To hold down two Two-Star Dou Zhes with one hand each, that's some physique! Even Little Fairy Doctor glanced sideways, curious as to when Green Mountain Town had produced such a young genius.

In this Green Mountain Town, reaching the Dou Zhe level at the age of sixteen or seventeen was already quite rare.

"Not bad, to have cultivated to the Dou Zhe level at such a young age and have such a strong physique. The last spot is yours, little brother."

Seeing the last spot snatched away by this little guy who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, the surrounding mercenaries had no choice but to leave dejectedly, casting strange glances at Xiao Yan as they did so.

"That guy seems to be about the same age as Little Fairy Doctor. Could it be that he's taken a fancy to Little Fairy Doctor and come to be her protector?"

"Possibly. Little Fairy Doctor's reputation is well-known even in the neighboring towns. Maybe he's a young master from a family in a neighboring city who's come to pursue Little Fairy Doctor."

Hearing these comments, Xiao Yan could only touch his nose. He couldn't be bothered to explain so much. In any case, he would leave directly after entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range to search for the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame according to the Soul map, and probably wouldn't have any involvement with this Little Fairy Doctor.
