A night passed.
"Huff..." Su Yun woke up from his cultivation.
He had broken through to the Nine-Star Fighter level two months ago.
During this period of cultivation, the Martial Qi in his body had become saturated, reaching its peak, and could no longer increase.
Clearly, after two months of cultivation, he was ready to advance to the Martial Master level!
Su Yun got up, stretched his limbs, and prepared to return to Green Mountain Town.
The battle with the Beast had come to an end, and breaking through to Martial Master was now the top priority.
There was no need to stay in the Beast Mountains any longer.
Su Yun walked out of the cave and headed towards Green Mountain Town.
The outer area of the mountains was still a distance from Green Mountain Town. Su Yun walked for two hours, almost leaving the mountains.
"Ahh..."
"Hm?"
Su Yun stopped in his tracks.
Not far ahead, three First-Rank Bone-Eroding Wolves were eyeing a little girl menacingly.
The three Bone-Eroding Wolves bared their fangs, showing their blood-red tongues, their eyes glowing green.
The little girl's face was filled with despair, her eyes tightly closed, tears soaking her shirt.
Without hesitation, Su Yun decided not to stand idly by. The girl was only about nine years old, and he could barely sense any Martial Qi from her.
In the Martial Qi continent, the weak were preyed upon, and good people didn't live long.
But it was just a child, and he could occasionally show some kindness and save her if he saw her in trouble.
Su Yun didn't hesitate, retrieving a previous trophy from the system space.
Holding the Green Blade, he swung the long sword.
Frost Shattering Jade!
Three blue sword auras, cold and piercing, whistled through the air, heading towards the Bone-Eroding Wolves.
The Bone-Eroding Wolves sensed the danger, howling and leaping away.
But the sword auras were faster than they were.
The auras entered their bodies, a layer of frost forming on their surfaces.
"Ahh..."
They let out mournful cries, struggling on the ground for a moment before dying.
Putting away his sword, Su Yun didn't pay any attention to the girl and continued on his original path towards Green Mountain Town.
Strangers, he had done his best by saving her.
The girl beside him opened her eyes wide, stunned by the scene before her.
Just as Su Yun put away his sword, a little girl clung to his leg.
Su Yun frowned, looking at the pitiful girl, a hint of sympathy stirring in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed it.
He was struggling enough with his own problems; he couldn't afford to take on a burden.
Su Yun squatted down, speaking softly.
"Little sister, where are your family?"
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, her voice choked. "I'm an orphan. I used to live in a small village. When I was three, everyone in the village died, and my mother died there too. Only I survived."
Su Yun was silent.
In the Martial Qi continent, feuds and killings were common, and murderers were not rare.
In his view, the village where the little girl had lived had likely been attacked by a murderer.
Su Yun subconsciously activated the scanning function to scan the girl.
"Scan."
"Ding, scan successful."
Name: Mu Lingxian
Gender: Female
Cultivation: None
Constitution: Calamity Poison Body
Attribute: Poison
Techniques: None
Skills: None
Items: None
Su Yun's eyebrows raised.
A new column appeared on the panel, showing her constitution: Calamity Poison Body!
A name flashed in Su Yun's mind: Little Medical Fairy!
What a small world.
Su Yun dismissed the theory that the village where Little Medical Fairy lived had been attacked by a murderer.
Knowing the girl's identity, he couldn't help but know the truth.
This young girl didn't yet know that the lives of everyone in the village, including her mother, had been taken by the awakening of her poison body...
"Big brother, can you take me in?"
Just as Su Yun was lost in thought, the girl's voice sounded in his ear.
The little girl clung tighter to Su Yun's leg, afraid he might disappear.
Hearing her words, Su Yun remained calm on the surface, but inside, he was shouting.
So fragrant!
Su Yun didn't immediately answer the little girl's question. Instead, he picked her up and held her in his arms under her anxious gaze.
"If you don't mind, you can follow me from now on."
...
Two days later, in Wu Tan City.
Su Yun didn't choose to stay in Green Mountain Town with Little Medical Fairy.
He was about to break through to the Martial Master level.
Once he became a Martial Master, the Martial Qi in his body would surge, and the restriction of only being able to refine first-grade pills would be lifted.
In the original story, Xiao Yan, under the guise of Yan Xiao, participated in the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Conference and refined the Three-Stripe Green Spirit Pill with Martial Master-level skills.
Liu Ling and Yao Yue also refined fourth-grade pills, showing how much becoming a Martial Master could aid in alchemy.
With the complete memories of Old Medicine, once he broke through to the Martial Master level, the identity of a fourth-grade alchemist would be within reach.
"Is this where big brother lives?"
The young Little Medical Fairy was led by Su Yun into the small house where he used to live.
Su Yun had given her the name Little Medical Fairy on the day they met, hoping she would forget her past pain and embrace a new future.
Little Medical Fairy nodded solemnly, hoping that the tragedy of the village being massacred would never happen again.
She wished for big brother to live a long and healthy life, free from illness.
At the time, Su Yun felt a mix of emotions. In the Martial Qi continent, reaching the Martial Ancestor level meant a lifespan measured in thousands of years...
Su Yun looked at the dusty little house, feeling a touch of sentiment.
His parents in this life had been good to him, but unfortunately, time didn't wait for anyone. Back then, he was just a child and could do little.
In the Martial Qi continent, once a soul dissipated, there was no way to revive loved ones.
Su Yun put aside his thoughts, hoping they would be happy in their next lives.
Su Yun cleaned the house a bit and set up a small bed for Little Medical Fairy.
"Xian'er, have you ever practiced cultivation before?"
Little Medical Fairy blinked and shook her head.
Su Yun understood. It seemed the village where Little Medical Fairy lived was quite remote, and her parents didn't place much importance on cultivation.
As for not knowing the cultivation methods for the Fighting Qi stage, Su Yun didn't consider it likely. Cultivating Fighting Qi didn't require techniques and was quite simple, widely known across the continent.
The most plausible explanation was that Little Medical Fairy's parents, coming from a small village and not having high cultivation themselves, didn't expect much from their child's potential and thus didn't teach her cultivation methods too early.
"Then I will teach you the cultivation methods for the Fighting Qi stage today."
Little Medical Fairy nodded cutely.
She would listen to big brother; Little Medical Fairy was obedient.
Su Yun then explained the cultivation methods to Little Medical Fairy.
Over the past two days, he had already thought through Little Medical Fairy's cultivation plan.
Although he would start Little Medical Fairy's cultivation now, Su Yun didn't plan to have her use the Foundation Building Spirit Liquid for her cultivation.
He knew the cultivation speed of the Calamity Poison Body. He had to grow strong before Little Medical Fairy's poison body erupted, obtaining the three Strange Fires and other materials. Otherwise, it would be too late once her poison body erupted.
