Fighting: Practice makes it real, start with a poisonous body.

One month later, at the Ghost Valley outpost.

The continuous mountain range is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the buildings in the valley are built against the mountain, with green tiles and flying eaves, exuding a simple and quiet atmosphere.

Inside the main hall, the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood. Xiao Yan and Yao Lao sat on stone chairs on either side of each other. On the table were exquisite tea sets, and a maidservant respectfully poured tea for them. The tea was clear and fragrant.

"The Eldragon race has fallen..."

The old doctor picked up his teacup but did not drink it. He simply stroked the rim of the cup and sighed deeply.

As one of the ancient imperial clans, the Spirit Clan, even though its strength was among the lowest of the imperial clans, was still far superior to ordinary forces. However, under the iron hooves of the Dragon-Phoenix Son, it still could not last long.

"What's meant to happen will happen, teacher."

Xiao Yan slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The Spirit Clan Chief is only a six-star Dou Sheng, one of the weakest among the ancient imperial clans. He simply cannot withstand the Dragon-Phoenix Son."

The Eldar's fall was only a matter of time... and there was some good news too.

After the fall of the Eldar, the Orc army did not press their advantage to attack the next imperial clan, but instead chose to stay in the Eldar territory to rest and recuperate.

It seems that after defeating the Clan and the Spirit Clan, the Beast Clan army also suffered considerable casualties and losses, and is now recuperating and recovering its strength...

This gives us more time to prepare.

"You have a point."

Upon hearing this, the old doctor's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly: "Being able to gain this buffer time is of paramount importance to us."

The Pill Tower Ancestor's breakthrough to the Golden Core realm has reached a critical moment, and your preparations to subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame will also require some time. Every extra moment increases your chances of victory.

"Ah."

Xiao Yan's gaze slowly swept over the decorations in the main hall. The beams and pillars inside the hall were carved with intricate poison patterns, exuding a mysterious and eerie aura.

He came to Youming Valley with Yao Lao not to discuss the situation, but to see Xiao Yixian and find out about Senior Su.

Unfortunately, they learned upon arrival that Little Fairy Doctor had gone into seclusion some time ago.

Medusa, another vice master of the Netherworld Valley, also personally went to her secluded cultivation place to protect her. Helpless, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao could only stay in the Netherworld Valley temporarily, patiently waiting for Little Fairy Doctor to emerge from seclusion.

"The last time I saw that girl at the Dan Tower Council, she was already a high-level half-saint, only one step away from becoming a Dou Sheng."

The old man stroked his long beard and said, "This time, he must be trying to break through to the Dou Sheng realm."

Throughout history, very few individuals with the Calamity Poison Body have managed to break through to the Dou Zun realm. This girl not only overcame the backlash of the poison body but also managed to reach this point; she can truly be considered a prodigy.

"Mm." Xiao Yan nodded slightly.

He met Little Fairy Doctor when they were both still young and unsung. They explored an ancient tomb together in Qingshan Town. After they parted ways, Little Fairy Doctor was taken in as a disciple by Senior Su, while he continued to train in the Monster Mountain Range, each embarking on a different path of cultivation.

Over the years, both of them have achieved remarkable success in their respective fields. Now, upon hearing that Little Fairy Doctor is about to break through to the Dou Sheng realm, he is genuinely happy for his old friend.

Just as the two were chatting, an incomparably terrifying holy aura suddenly rose up from the depths of the Netherworld Valley encampment.

"Boom!"

The holy might instantly swept across the entire Netherworld Valley, vast and boundless, carrying a unique poisonous power that caused the entire valley to tremble.

"It's done!"

The old doctor exclaimed in admiration.

A genuine smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

The divine aura lasted for a full half hour before gradually dissipating, and the entire Netherworld Valley was immersed in joy and awe. The disciples in the valley all came out of their residences, looking up at the direction where Little Fairy Doctor was in seclusion, their faces filled with reverence and pride.

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao finally had the leisure to enjoy tea and wait patiently in the main hall. Three more days passed before soft footsteps finally echoed outside the main hall.

The two looked up and saw two beautiful figures walking gracefully towards them.

The Little Fairy Doctor was dressed in a light purple dress. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin as white as snow, and her brows held a hint of aloofness. A faint holy aura surrounded her.
Medusa, dressed in a striking red outfit, possessed a fiery figure, sharp eyes, and a hint of rainbow between her brows.

"Xiao Yan, Senior Yao, it's been a long time."

Little Fairy Doctor entered the main hall with a gentle smile on her face.

"congratulation."

Xiao Yan and Yao Lao stood up together and cupped their hands in congratulations.

"Thank you."

Little Fairy Doctor nodded slightly. Her smooth breakthrough to the Dou Sheng realm was not only due to her own accumulation of knowledge, but also thanks to the half-emperor's essence blood that her teacher had sealed within her.

The essence blood contained immense energy, which provided tremendous assistance during her crucial moment in her attempt to become a Dou Sheng.

The Little Fairy Doctor gently covered her chest with her delicate hand, feeling the surging holy power within her, a hint of tenderness appearing in her eyes. Although her teacher's whereabouts were uncertain, she had always remembered his cultivation and care.

Soon, the smile on Little Fairy Doctor's face faded slightly, and she regained her composure. Her gaze fell on Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, with a hint of doubt: "May I ask what brings you two to visit us today?"

Xiao Yan's expression turned serious: "Little Fairy Doctor, we have come here to inquire about someone from you."

Do you know where Senior Su is? I urgently need to speak with him.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's expression froze slightly, and she fell silent for a moment, seemingly considering her words.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "When the teacher was traveling, he discovered an ancient ruin."

He is currently still exploring the ruins for the treasures of his predecessors, and even he himself is unsure when he will emerge. It seems unlikely he will return to the Netherworld Valley anytime soon.

"That's it..."

Xiao Yan frowned deeply, a hint of disappointment rising in his heart, but he did not press for the specific location of the ruins.

These ancient ruins, which contain secret treasures and heritage, are extremely private places. Asking questions rashly could be seen as coveting someone else's treasures and could easily lead to misunderstandings.

"Since we cannot contact Senior Su for the time being, I will be frank."

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if Senior Su has ever told you about the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame?"
Years ago, in the Tagor Desert, I encountered the Ice Emperor Haibodong. By chance, I obtained a fragment of the Ancient Map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame from him.

Later, when Senior Su learned of this, he asked me for it.

Now that the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is about to be unleashed, this map is of great use to me, as it determines whether I can successfully subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. Therefore, I urgently need to retrieve this incomplete map.

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor and Queen Medusa immediately exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of realization in each other's eyes.

"This picture was originally held by Hai Lao, who divided it in two. One half was taken by you and later returned by the teacher. The other half was given to the teacher when Hai Lao went to seek refuge with him."

The complete fragment of the picture was put back together in the teacher's hands... The teacher also studied the picture in his spare time, but he could never figure it out.

After a while, he lost interest and gave it to me.

"The map is in your hands!"

Xiao Yan looked at the map in Little Fairy Doctor's hand, and his mind was shaken. (End of this chapter)
