Qingshan Town is situated right at the foot of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
As the saying goes, those who live by the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live by the sea live off the sea.
Therefore, the daily survival of Qingshan Town's residents mostly relies on the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Thus, within Qingshan Town, the Mercenary Group is the most sought-after profession.
As a physician, the Xiao Yi Xian's main responsibility is to treat the injuries of the Mercenary Group members.
Therefore, the Xiao Yi Xian enjoys extremely high prestige in Qingshan Town.
Qingshan Town, Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.
Guided by the Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yi easily walked out of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Inside the Medicine Hall, the Xiao Yi Xian's expression remained calm, showing no change.
"Mr. Xiao Yi, daring to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range alone at such a young age, your courage is considerable..."
The Xiao Yi Xian spoke first, breaking the silence, while simultaneously brewing some medicinal herbs to regulate Xiao Yi's Qi.
Xiao Yi merely smiled faintly: "I really just happened to take a wrong turn, and somehow stepped into the Magical Beast Mountain Range..."
Hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian's lips curled slightly upward. As she handed the freshly brewed medicinal soup to Xiao Yi, she said softly:
"Mr. Xiao Yi, the danger level of the Magical Beast Mountain Range is extraordinary. A lie like taking a wrong turn won't deceive me..."
"But since you are unwilling to say, I will not ask again..."
"Once you reach Qingshan Town, head south, and you can leave the town..."
Xiao Yi nodded, took a sip of the medicinal soup in the bowl, and instantly, a pungent smell spread from his throat to his nose.
Xiao Yi couldn't hold it in and immediately spat it out.
Seeing Xiao Yi's reaction, the Xiao Yi Xian, who had just been as cold as an iceberg, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi also spoke softly: "Since the Magical Beast Mountain Range is so dangerous, why must you, a respected physician, personally go up the mountain to gather herbs..."
The Xiao Yi Xian shook her head: "Identifying medicinal herbs also requires skill. The Mercenary Group only knows how to hunt Demonic Beasts. I still need to go up the mountain myself for herbs. Although it is a bit dangerous, it gives me peace of mind..."
"After all, when treating injuries, the herbs absolutely cannot be wrong. Otherwise, it would not be saving people, but killing them..."
"For example, the medicinal soup you just spat out took a lot of effort for me to find..."
After the Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking, she turned her head slightly and glanced at Xiao Yi, her eyes subtly carrying a hint of blame amidst her delicate appearance.
Indeed, the Xiao Yi Xian truly is a person of utmost purity and kindness. With such a compassionate heart, she truly lives up to the name Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi showed a hint of embarrassment and smiled faintly: "My apologies, I truly didn't expect this medicine to be so bitter..."
"Furthermore, my disordered Qi is just a minor issue. I don't actually need to drink medicine; I can recover simply by adjusting myself..."
Hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Yi with considerable confusion: "If that's the case, why didn't you say so from the beginning..."
"Pity my few precious herbs..."
The Xiao Yi Xian's voice was gentle as water. Although her words implied blame, there was no trace of actual reproach in her tone.
Xiao Yi slowly stood up, placed the medicine bowl on the table, and said softly: "Since that is the case, I am not an impolite person..."
"Since you guided me down the mountain and personally brewed medicinal soup for me, tomorrow I shall accompany you back into the Magical Beast Mountain Range... Moreover, I have studied some identification techniques for herbs since childhood..."
"I should be able to help you..."
Hearing this, the Xiao Yi Xian instantly became interested. She looked up directly at Xiao Yi, and a spark of curiosity appeared in her deep eyes:
"You can also identify herbs?"
Xiao Yi nodded.
The Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly: "I seem to have underestimated Mr. Xiao Yi a little. However, simply knowing how to identify herbs is not enough. Every time I enter the mountain to gather herbs, I need to go with a Mercenary Group..."
"If it's just the two of us, no one would likely find out even if we were eaten by a Demonic Beast..."
Xiao Yi was unconcerned. He simply took a sip of the hot tea on the table and said softly: "If you are worried that my strength is insufficient to protect you, then there is no need to worry!"
"It is only the Magical Beast Mountain Range. I am still capable of ensuring your safety..."
Looking at Xiao Yi's confident demeanor, the Xiao Yi Xian pondered for a moment before nodding.
After all, the young man in front of her appeared alone deep inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range and hadn't suffered any major injuries.
He must not be simple; he should possess some extraordinary abilities.
Moreover, the young man can also identify herbs, which is quite good.
If they go up the mountain, as long as they avoid the central area, there shouldn't be any problems... The next morning.
Xiao Yi and the Xiao Yi Xian finished preparing early and were ready to step back into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Just as the Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yi stepped out of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall and passed a blacksmith shop.
They saw a powerfully built man greeting them with a face full of smiles:
"Xiao Yi Xian, so early today, are you going into the mountain to gather herbs again..."
The Xiao Yi Xian did not speak, she just nodded slightly in response.
Facing the Xiao Yi Xian's cold attitude, the strong man was not angry at all; instead, the smile on his face did not diminish:
"But I haven't heard of any Mercenary Group going into the mountain today..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the attention of the pedestrians on the street was instantly drawn over.
After all, the Xiao Yi Xian is Qingshan Town's specially hired physician, and her safety is the most important matter for Qingshan Town.
Without the Xiao Yi Xian, Qingshan Town would undoubtedly see countless more severely injured and dead people every year.
Therefore, seeing this, the Burly Man did not hesitate and immediately started shouting:
"The Xiao Yi Xian is going into the mountain to gather herbs and needs to find a group of guards! The strength must be Five-Star Dou Zhe or above..."
As soon as the Burly Man spoke, countless people immediately rushed forward.
They all wanted to become the Xiao Yi Xian's guards.
Xiao Yi remained silent, but seeing the Xiao Yi Xian's slightly furrowed brow, he understood that she did not want this.
Immediately, Xiao Yi spoke in a deep voice: "There is no need to trouble everyone regarding today's herb gathering..."
As soon as Xiao Yi said this, the surging crowd instantly erupted into discussion.
"Where did this kid come from! He doesn't look like someone from Qingshan Town!"
"Exactly! His tone is so arrogant! If he dies, it's a small matter, but if something happens to the Xiao Yi Xian, he won't be able to bear the responsibility!"
... Amidst the crowd's discussions, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a not-weak aura rapidly approaching him from behind.
"Where did this bumpkin come from? He's not old, but his tone is quite arrogant!"
"Have you even fully matured? Do you know who the Xiao Yi Xian is?"
"Just you alone want to accompany the Xiao Yi Xian into the mountain to gather herbs?"
Xiao Yi did not turn his head. Relying on his Soul Power, he sensed that the person rapidly approaching him from behind was only three steps away.
The next second, just as the person behind him was about to raise his hand to slap Xiao Yi's shoulder.
The Fighting Qi within Xiao Yi's body instantly erupted.
In an instant, an extremely powerful aura emanated from Xiao Yi's body.
It directly shocked the person behind him back several steps.
"A Battle... Dou Master expert..."
