While in Battle Through the Heavens, one can pre-appoint oneself as an emperor.

Although Chen Xiao is still in the familiarization stage after successfully cultivating the Purple Cloud Wings, it has already been of great help to him.

Take the monsters on the outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range, for example; 99% of them run on land and swim in water.

Very few of them are capable of flying.

Therefore, by flying only two zhang high, Chen Xiao could avoid most of the trouble and greatly speed up the round trip.

It was also thanks to the Purple Cloud Wings that Chen Xiao was able to empty all the gold coins in the cave stone chamber in just three days and store them all into the gold coin card.

"A total of 813,296 gold coins, please accept them, esteemed guest."

The beautiful maid held the gold coin card in both hands, her smile as warm as a spring breeze, showing no interest in the black-robed man who was shorter than her.

Chen Xiao accepted the card without saying a word, nodded slightly in thanks, and then left without looking back.

More than 800,000 gold coins—that's all his savings right now.

Ninety-nine percent of the loot was obtained in caves and stone chambers, with only a small portion coming from hunting magical beasts.

After leaving Black Flame City, Chen Xiao spent half an hour rushing back to the inn in Green Mountain Town. He packed up the many boxes of medicinal herbs he had hidden before carrying the bulging bundle to Wan Yao Zhai.

It was noon, and ninety percent of the mercenaries were busy on the move, making the spacious hall seem quite deserted.

The girl in the white dress, who was standing on the wooden crate, saw Chen Xiao come in carrying a package, and a look of doubt flashed across her face.

"I'm leaving Qingshan Town soon. Could you spare some of the medicinal powder you usually use for future reference?"

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly understood.

The medicinal powder she prepared was unmatched in terms of cost-effectiveness throughout the entire Green Mountain Town, and it was not surprising that mercenaries often came to buy it for their own use.

"If I give it all to you, I'll be out of a use for it today. However, if you still have that formula, I might consider it."

Chen Xiao put the package aside, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write from memory.

At first, the girl stood behind the counter watching curiously, but as Chen Xiao wrote more and more, she had to hurry upstairs and come back carrying a bunch of bottles and jars.

At a glance, there were at least fourteen or fifteen bottles.

Chen Xiao looked up, his gaze filled with doubt.

Silence speaks louder than words.

Little Fairy Doctor smiled sheepishly, "That's really all I have. I promise, I didn't leave a single bottle."

Chen Xiao nodded and continued writing.

Standing back on the wooden crate, the girl found paper, pen, and glue, and meticulously attached labels to each bottle of medicine powder.

There are medicines for treating sprains and bruises, medicines for stopping bleeding, medicines for removing blood stasis, and so on. The variety is very complete, and it covers most common conditions.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Xiao put down his pen and handed several pages of formula to the girl.

At this point, he had essentially made copies of all the chapters in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture for the girl, except for the one about the Calamity Poison Body.

"Thank you. I know that even if I took out all the medicine powder, I wouldn't be able to get this many formulas, but I really enjoy researching these things, so I'll shamelessly take advantage of you today."

The girl spoke candidly, though a little embarrassed.

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly without saying anything, which made the girl feel a little strange.

Chen Xiao opened the package and began filling the medicine bottles.

My eyes also fell on the small print on each medicine bottle, delicate and neat.

The word is like its person.

"Thank you for taking care of me these past few days. Goodbye."

"You're welcome. By the way, what's your name?"

"Chen Xiao".

"My name is Little Fairy Doctor."

"I know you're quite famous in Qingshan Town."

With a smile, Chen Xiao slung his bag over his shoulder, waved, and headed out of the Wan Yao Zhai.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved; it's time to go back and properly digest it.

Just as Chen Xiao stepped out of Qingshan Town, three mercenaries wearing wolf head badges glanced at the tempting package, exchanged a look, and silently followed.

"This kid is no pushover. On his first day in Qingshan Town, he displayed strength above a six-star Dou Zhe. He went into the Monster Mountain Range alone several times and was still unharmed. The three of us aren't safe. Here's what we'll do: Tieshan, go back and get a few people. We'll follow him for now," a mercenary with a pointed mouth and monkey-like face said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the mercenary called Iron Mountain nodded and quickly turned and left.

Walking on the steaming avenue, Chen Xiao glanced back out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group is indeed a black sheep in this Green Mountain Town.

However, with the Purple Cloud Wings as his reliance, Chen Xiao was not afraid of anyone in Qingshan Town.

Immediately, they took a side road and continued on their way.

Half an hour later, seven or eight mercenaries escorted a young man of obviously high status, following the marks on the road to a dense forest.

"Why does the marking end here?"

"Young Master, there are two corpses here!"

"It's a skinny monkey and a fat guy!"

"Damn! He tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait instead. But that kid dared to kill members of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group; this isn't over!"

...

Two days later.

Outside Wutan City.

Gazing at the small town where he had lived for nine years, Chen Xiao removed his black robe, revealing a harmless smile.

When he left Wutan City, he had nothing and couldn't even afford the most basic cultivation resources.

But now that he's back, his wealth is comparable to that of the three major families, giving him a lot more confidence.

Even in terms of cash flow and the martial arts techniques that can be considered his foundation, the three major families are no match for him!

"The next time I leave, it will be a true long journey."

With a murmur, Chen Xiao stopped and strode into Wutan City.

Upon entering the city, Chen Xiao was surprised to find that Wutan City was exceptionally lively today, with a much larger flow of people on the streets than ever before.

It was as if the population of Wutan City had increased three or four times in just one month.

Moreover, these people were all converging towards the city center square.

"Could it be that the Canaan Academy admissions team has arrived?"

When Chen Xiao passed by the central square, the crowds that were packed three or four layers deep made him gasp in astonishment.

I peeked inside on tiptoe, but unfortunately, all I could see was a flag fluttering in the wind and a dense crowd of people.

"Never mind, it's none of my business."

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly and went straight back to the Xiao family.

Canaan Academy is a good place, but Chen Xiao has no plans to go there for the time being.

Inside the Xiao family residence.

The young students were all drawn to the Canaan Academy's recruitment drive and went to the central square to watch the excitement, making the training ground completely deserted.

This made things convenient for Chen Xiao, and he didn't get noticed by many people on his way back to his residence.

Of course, Xiao Xun'er, who lives in the most central location, is not included in this category.

Ling Ying, a peak Douhuang, was far too powerful for the small city of Wutan. He could not hide the Xiao family's every move from his senses.

"Miss, Chen Xiao is back. He's a nine-star Dou Zhe, and it seems he's had a good time."
