After leaving the vicinity of Qingshan Town and entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the frequency of Demonic Beasts appearing increased.
However, the area where Xiao Yi Xian and the others usually gathered herbs was within the outer perimeter of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Rank 2 Demonic Beasts rarely appeared, let alone Rank 3 ones.
As for the occasional Rank 1 Demonic Beasts, Xiao Yi Xian could basically handle them easily with poison. There was no need for Chen Yang to step in at all.
The two of them walked casually toward their destination. Occasionally, when they encountered precious medicinal herbs, Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian would discuss them.
From Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, Chen Yang could see the girl's longing for the profession of an Alchemist.
"Perhaps I have a way to make you an Alchemist."
Looking at the girl's longing eyes, Chen Yang casually killed a Li Huan guarding some medicinal herbs, collected them, and spoke to Xiao Yi Xian.
"I can become an Alchemist too?"
"Isn't it said that the requirements to become an Alchemist are extremely harsh?"
"One needs to have strong Soul Perception, and their Fighting Qi attribute must be fire with a hint of wood!"
Although Xiao Yi Xian was excited, she remained very calm. Her experiences since childhood told her that as long as she didn't harbor too much hope, she wouldn't be too disappointed. She had already experienced many despairs far worse than disappointment.
"There is something in this world called a Strange Fire!"
"As long as you refine a type of Strange Fire, theoretically, it is possible to become an Alchemist!"
Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yi Xian and said with a smile.
In the original work, Yao Lao only proposed the method of condensing a poison pill to resolve the Calamity Poison Body. However, in Chen Yang's view, if Xiao Yi Xian could refine the Netherworld Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the strange fire ranking list, she should also be able to temporarily suppress the Calamity Poison Body.
However, where this Netherworld Poison Flame actually was was not mentioned in the original work, and Chen Yang didn't know either.
But once he became a Dou Di, there would be no more secrets for him on this Fighting Qi Continent!
"Something like a Strange Fire is something even Alchemists yearn for but cannot obtain. What right do I have..." Xiao Yi Xian smiled freely, no longer dwelling on the issue of becoming an Alchemist, and ran forward skippingly.
However, even she didn't notice that what Chen Yang had just said caused a ripple in her heart, filled with beautiful expectations for the future and a faint longing to become an Alchemist.
"This girl..." Chen Yang shook his head, took a step forward, and instantly appeared beside Xiao Yi Xian, walking side by side with her...
The two walked and stopped, and after about two and a half hours, Xiao Yi Xian finally stopped with Chen Yang at the edge of a cliff.
"That cave is right down there."
"I accidentally discovered this cave while gathering herbs before, but the cliff face is too steep. I'm just an ordinary One-Star Dou Zhe and couldn't get in at all!"
Xiao Yi Xian pointed below the cliff and said to Chen Yang.
"Yes, I can indeed sense the aura of a Sect Senior. Let's go down together!"
After saying that, regardless of whether Xiao Yi Xian agreed or not, Chen Yang reached out and grabbed her slender waist—officially certified as the number one in battle through the heavens—and jumped directly off the cliff.
"Ah!" Xiao Yi Xian cried out in shock at Chen Yang's sudden move.
The wind whistled past their ears, but Xiao Yi Xian didn't dare close her eyes at all, fearing she would miss any chance of survival.
"Swish!"
