Chapter 84 Xiao Yan's Letter

Half a month later,

The room was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

Lu Yu and Little Fairy Doctor sat facing each other, their palms clasped together. Golden Floating Pagoda Fire flowed continuously from Lu Yu's body into Little Fairy Doctor's meridians, forming a dazzling golden halo around her.

Upon closer inspection, a crystal-clear nine-story white jade pagoda was beginning to take shape within Little Fairy Doctor's dantian. The pagoda radiated a holy aura, and each eave was engraved with profound runes.

"It's now!"

Lu Yu suddenly shouted in a deep voice, and the hand seals in his hands changed abruptly. The Floating Pagoda Fire instantly surged, transforming into nine golden fire dragons that completely enveloped Little Fairy Doctor. She groaned, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead, but the Floating Pagoda within her body became even more solid.

"hold head high!"

Nine fire dragons roared and coiled upwards around the white jade pagoda. Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, and the poison pill that had been dormant within her body for many years suddenly trembled violently.

"Calm your mind and focus!"

With a soft shout from Lu Yu, nine fire dragons transformed into streams of light and disappeared into the tower. The Floating Pagoda instantly shone brightly, slowly drawing the grayish-purple poison pill into its base.

"Buzz!"

The moment the poison pill entered the tower, the entire pagoda suddenly radiated nine layers of light, and each layer of the tower displayed unique and mysterious patterns. These patterns seemed to flow on the tower as if they were alive, exuding a mysterious and unpredictable aura.

"call……"

With a long, drawn-out breath, Little Fairy Doctor slowly opened her eyes. Her clear, beautiful eyes were initially bright and piercing, but then gradually returned to calm.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, and with a gentle lift of her hand, a nine-story white jade pagoda floated above her palm.

The tower is clear and transparent, with a warm luster flowing around it, and there is no trace of poisonous fog.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yu's eyes showed a hint of relief, and he explained, "The Pagoda is now complete, and all the poison pills have been returned to the pagoda. From now on, this Calamity Poison Body will be completely at your disposal."

He smiled slightly and continued, "From now on, you can take as much poison as you want, as long as you can swallow it. You won't have to worry about it anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's face immediately lit up with joy, and she said, "So, my cultivation speed can be greatly increased again?"

But then, as if remembering something, he frowned slightly, shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's just that after reaching the Dou Wang level, high-quality poisons probably won't be so easy to find..."

Lu Yu smiled mysteriously, gently swiped his right hand across his storage ring, and took out a strange spiritual herb that was entirely dark blue.

It was one of the items he had simulated over the previous two months.

Moonlit Grass, an extremely rare poisonous herb.

In addition, he also obtained a Crimson Flame Flower, but now that he is a six-star Dou Wang, that thing is of little use to him.

I have no choice but to keep it; perhaps I can exchange it for something useful with other alchemists in the future.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes suddenly lit up. Her slender fingers gently stroked the azure spirit herb, sensing the pure poison it contained. She couldn't help but exclaim, "This poison... is so pure! Where did you get it from?"

A mischievous smile played on Lu Yu's lips as he pushed the spirit herb in front of her, casually explaining, "It's just a little trinket I got from the academy's medicine storehouse. Here, take it, so you can break through to the Dou Huang realm soon..."

He deliberately dragged out his words, teasingly saying, "It'll let me taste what it's like to be a kept man."

"Not serious!"

The tips of Little Fairy Doctor's ears turned slightly red, but she carefully put the Moonlit Grass into the jade box.

She looked down at the jade box, then suddenly looked up, her eyes sparkling with a hint of playfulness, and said, "If I really break through to the Douhuang realm, you'll be the first one I use as a test subject for medicine."

Lu Yu laughed loudly, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Then I will await your orders, Fairy."

……

Soon after,

After Little Fairy Doctor and Lu Yu finished their cultivation, they were having a meal in the courtyard.

Even though they have cultivated to their level, the simple act of breathing exercises is enough to replace the energy they get from food.

However, neither of them changed their habit of eating three meals a day; on the contrary, they enjoyed it.

At this moment, the bluestone table was already filled with all kinds of delicacies.

A steaming bowl of snow lotus and white fungus soup, several baskets of freshly steamed vegetable buns and honey osmanthus cake, a steamed moonfish... Little Fairy Doctor picked up her chopsticks, placed a piece of osmanthus cake on Lu Yu's plate, and said, "Besides cultivation, there should always be some everyday life to make it a real life."

Lu Yu flicked his finger, and the golden flames made the pastries even softer. He smiled and said, "That's right. In this world, besides pursuing the Great Dao, there is nothing more pleasant than enjoying delicious food with a beautiful woman."

"Of all things in the world, only the Great Way, delicious food, and beautiful women should not be neglected."

Just then, there was a sudden knocking sound at the door outside the courtyard.

"Elder Lu, there is a letter for you."

Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and casually waved his hand, causing the courtyard gate to open. A young student in Canaan Academy uniform stood outside, holding a plain white letter in his hands.

The student said respectfully, "This was sent from the outer academy. Instructor Ruolin specifically instructed that it be handed to you personally."

Lu Yu raised his hand, and the envelope floated lightly into his grasp. Looking down, he saw several neat characters written on the envelope:
"To Brother Lu – Xiao Yan"

"Who sent the letter?" Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously as she leaned closer.

Lu Yu smiled and said in a light tone, "It's that kid Xiao Yan. He finally remembered me after a year."

As he spoke, he casually tossed a bottle of pills to a student outside the academy.

"I remember when we parted, we made a promise to meet again at Canaan Academy a year later."

"Thank you, Elder Lu!"

The student respectfully accepted the pills and tactfully took his leave.

After the courtyard gate closed again, Lu Yu slowly opened the envelope. As soon as he unfolded the letter, a playful funny face appeared on the page:
**

Brother Lu, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?

Looking at the smug face on the letter, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This kid's living the good life!"

Continue reading:

"Brother Lu! Thanks to you, I've really upgraded my skills! I've got the Different Fire Spirit Vein sorted out, and the Burning Technique has been upgraded to a Profound-rank technique. My teacher says my cultivation speed is almost catching up with people practicing Earth-rank techniques!"

"By the way, I'm now a five-star Grand Dou Master! Hehehe..."

"However, the matter of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame has fallen through..."

"My teacher and I trained in the Monster Mountain Range for nine months. We originally went to the Tagor Desert to steal Queen Medusa's strange fire. Who knew that woman hid the strange fire better than a rat hole! My teacher and I didn't even catch a glimpse of it before we were discovered by the snake-man guards and chased all over the desert by Queen Medusa..."

"Luckily, the teacher possessed me, which allowed me to escape..."

"But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining! On my escape route, I actually stumbled upon the legendary Wind Fury Dragon Flame! That thing runs faster than lightning. My teacher insisted on training my endurance, so I chased it for three whole months, and my legs were almost broken..."

"In the end, it was only thanks to my teacher's spirit possession that we were able to catch this thing! Now I'm someone who possesses a different kind of fire! After the Burning Technique evolved and the spiritual vein condensed from the Wind Fury Dragon Flame took shape, I now realize what kind of miserable life I had before!"

"So this is what cultivation is all about!"

"Next, I have to go to Canaan Academy. I wonder how things are going for you there, Brother Lu?"

"They should be inside the inner courtyard by now, right?"

"And that strange fire vein, I've discovered... never mind, we'll discuss it in detail later."

After reading the letter, Lu Yu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "This kid is still so cunning."

"Even at the very end, they don't make things clear, they just keep people in suspense."

Little Fairy Doctor leaned over and glanced at the letter, chuckling softly, "It seems that Brother Xiao Yan has also learned to keep things a secret."

"When he arrives, we'll teach him a lesson. How dare he keep the elders in suspense..."

Lu Yu put the letter away and said with a smile.

Little Fairy Doctor handed over a cup of tea, her eyes smiling as she said, "You always bully honest people. But Xiao Yan had a good haul this time; the Wind Fury Dragon Flame is a real treasure."

Lu Yu took the teacup and nodded thoughtfully, saying, "It's perfect timing to have a friendly spar with him when he arrives. I've never seen Wind Fury Dragon Flame before."
