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

The familiar Qingshan Town, the familiar Wanyaozhai.

Stepping into this town again, recalling the scenes he experienced here two and a half years ago, Chen Xiao felt as if he were in a dream.

The town remained largely unchanged, with only unfamiliar yet equally bold mercenaries coming and going.

But he himself had already risen from a lowly fighter to a seven-star Grand Fighter!

Such progress is inseparable from talent.

But the harvest in that stone chamber in the Monster Mountain Range also played a crucial role.

Thanks to that astonishing wealth, Chen Xiao has been receiving enhancement pills continuously for the past two years, and the resources he enjoys are no less than those of Xiao Yan, the third young master of the Xiao family.

What's even more interesting is that by selling those rare herbs that were temporarily useless, Chen Xiao's wealth not only didn't decrease but actually increased. He still has nearly a million gold coins in his storage ring that he can use.

Regaining his composure, Chen Xiao looked towards the Wan Yao Zhai (Ten Thousand Medicines Hall).

It was noon, but a long queue still formed inside the lobby, a stark contrast to the scene more than two years ago.

As Chen Xiao approached, he saw that there was only one line in the queue, and the source of the line pointed directly to a familiar girl in a white dress. He immediately revealed an expression of "I knew it."

Upon entering Wan Yao Zhai, Chen Xiao peered through the gap under the counter and finally couldn't see the wooden box used as a stepping stone anymore.

The busy Little Fairy Doctor didn't notice Chen Xiao walking in. However, several doctors in the hall, who were clearly injured but had nothing to do, saw him. But after realizing that Chen Xiao had no intention of coming to find them, they could only exchange glances and smile helplessly.

In recent years, with the help of the formulas given to her by Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor's reputation in Qingshan Town has become increasingly well-known.

After all, poison is also medicine, and if used properly, it can be just as useful.

In addition, as girls grow up, they change a lot, and Little Fairy Doctor has become more and more attractive, which has led to a surge in popularity.

Chen Xiao did not go forward to disturb them, but sat quietly on a chair to the side and waited.

When he had nothing to do, he would take out an ancient book from his storage ring and study it carefully to enrich his spiritual knowledge.

The environment can change a person's habits, and that is absolutely true.

Over the past few years in the Xiao family, Chen Xiao and Xun'er have influenced each other.

This led Chen Xiao to develop a love for reading, and also caused Xun'er to develop mild obsessive-compulsive disorder...

Immersed in ancient books, time flies by.

When Chen Xiao finished reading the ancient book, Little Fairy Doctor finally had some free time, and a tired but satisfied smile appeared on her delicate face.

Chen Xiao put away the ancient book, stood up and stepped forward.

"Huh? You're that Chen... Chen Xiao?"

Seeing the young man walking towards her, Little Fairy Doctor felt a strong sense of familiarity. She tilted her head slightly and searched her memory, quickly and accurately calling out Chen Xiao's name.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xiao was slightly surprised.

Unlike Xun'er, Little Fairy Doctor comes into contact with at least eighty to a hundred people every day at the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall.

Moreover, Chen Xiao's appearance has changed somewhat; he's taller and more handsome.

It's hard not to feel happy when the other person still remembers you after so long.

Little did people know that the reason why Little Fairy Doctor could be so good was mainly because her appearance was too refreshing and clean-cut, which was out of place with the rough mercenaries in the town. It was as if they were not in the same style, which made her very memorable.

"Yes, it's been a long time." Chen Xiao nodded in response.

"It's been a long time, almost three years. You've come to Qingshan Town again for training?"

Little Fairy Doctor asked with a happy smile.

Have friends come from afar.

Infected by her, Chen Xiao also laughed heartily, feeling extremely relaxed.

The girl in the white dress before him was unlike anyone he had ever met.

At first sight, I was amazed and delighted; after spending time together, my heart still fluttered.

"I was just passing through, but I made a special trip to see you."

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly and told him frankly.

After saying that, he added, "The outer areas of the Monster Mountain Range are no longer useful for my training, and the deeper parts are too dangerous. I plan to go to the Tagor Desert."

"Tagor, I heard that's the territory of the Snake People, and there are many poisonous insects in the desert. Wait a moment, I'll get you some antidote pills and insect repellent."

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly realized, and immediately called out, about to head to the second floor.

"I don't have any more recipes."

Chen Xiao made a joke.

Little Fairy Doctor turned around and glared at him. "No need, it's a gift. The formulas you gave me before helped me a lot."

Hearing the crisp footsteps going upstairs, Chen Xiao took out the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture from his storage ring, but after a moment's thought, he put it away again.

Perhaps it's still too early to give it to her now.

If Chen Xiao were of the fire element, with his foresight and premonitions in his mind, he would be confident that he could resolve the hidden dangers of the Calamity Poison Body earlier than Xiao Yan in the original timeline.

Unfortunately, he is of the ice attribute.

Under these circumstances, whether it would harm or help the other party to rashly allow them to start cultivating the Calamity Poison Body ahead of schedule is uncertain.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, Chen Xiao decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

Footsteps sounded again, and the Little Fairy Doctor, dressed in a flowing white dress, appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Since you know so many formulas, I won't embarrass myself by showing you the usual self-defense medicines. You definitely know more than I do, so I'll just give you these everyday remedies. Although their value is limited, they are comprehensive."

Chen Xiao nodded his thanks. He had also prepared some poison for self-defense in his spare time over the past few years.

For example, there is a poison called Soul-Losing Powder, which emits an extremely pungent odor. Even if the enemy is a Grand Master, being hit by it will cause them to lose their sight and senses, turning them into a "blind person" and instantly reducing their combat power.

Of course, this is just a description in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. Chen Xiao has not yet had the opportunity to actually use it, and the specific effects remain to be verified.

"This is an insect repellent powder. Sprinkle some around the area, and ordinary snakes and insects will not dare to approach. This is an antidote pill; as the name suggests, it goes without saying. This is a sedative powder, which can make ordinary magical beasts and poisonous insects lethargic and drowsy. Its effect on humans is even more pronounced..."

As before, Little Fairy Doctor explained the procedure once more, and then carefully labeled each medicine bottle.

Watching him handle things in an orderly manner, Chen Xiao suddenly had an idea.

If you had such a gentle and considerate person by your side, life would be very comfortable, right?

With a wry smile, Chen Xiao cast aside his distracting thoughts.

"We're friends, so there's no need for thanks. I can't offer you any more help anyway, so I just wish you all the best on your trip."

Seeing Chen Xiao open his mouth as if to speak, Little Fairy Doctor anticipated this and interrupted him with a smile.

Chen Xiao smiled knowingly and didn't insist any further.

"Then I'll take your good wishes."

...

at the same time.

Inside the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

A mercenary with bandages wrapped around his hand ran in quickly and found the leader, Mu She, and his son in the open space where the members were practicing.

"Commander, Young Commander, I think I see it!"

"Huh? What did you see? Explain yourself."

"That kid Tieshan mentioned two and a half years ago, with his handsome features, is one of a kind in Qingshan Town. He shouldn't be wrong!"

The mercenary who delivered the message answered breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Mu She's eyes. Young Commander Mu Li thought about it carefully for a moment and finally remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

Two and a half years ago, several mercenaries from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were tempted by money, but ended up losing two lives instead of gaining anything.

Muli immediately ordered Tieshan, a mercenary who had seen Chen Xiao, to give the group members a detailed description of his appearance so that they could settle accounts upon seeing him again.

So much time has passed that Muli himself has almost forgotten about it, but the mercenaries in the group remember it clearly.

"So it's that kid. It's been over two years, and he's finally reappeared. But I remember he was already at least a six-star Dou Zhe back then, so his strength now is probably..."

"Li'er, don't overthink it. It's not the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's style to leave a grudge unavenged. Here's what we'll do, Wang San: I'll give you ten members of the six-star or higher rank. Go and take care of that kid! Even if his strength has improved, his chances of advancing to the Battle Master level are slim. These many people are more than enough. But just to be safe, wear the Mad Lion Mercenary Group's badge when you go!"

Hearing the leader's words, the mercenary called Wang San glanced at the bandage wrapped around his right hand, and pointed to himself with his left hand in a trembling manner.

"I?"

"That's right, it's you. With those ten around, you don't need to lift a finger. Just lead the way."

"Alright."
