Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 41 Casual Chat

Xiao Xun'er stared blankly as Xiao Bai walked further and further away, then suddenly transmitted her voice in an icy tone:

"Old Ling, follow my instructions from last night and protect him. If anything happens to him, you don't need to come back."

Although Xiao Bai seemed to trust the old man a lot, she was still worried.

Ling Ying, standing in the shadows in the distance, felt a bitter taste in his mouth. This was the second time he had heard these words. The first time was when the young lady came to the Xiao family, when the patriarch said them.

"Yes, Miss."

"Xiao Bai, you brat, control your lightning! Don't let it electrocute this old man!"

Seeing Xiao Bai put the ring on his hand, the old doctor solemnly gave him some instructions from inside the ring.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes. Judging from Yao Lao's tone, he seemed quite wary of his lightning, but he didn't seem to have ever used lightning to attack this old man before!

"Senior, my lightning is still weak, it doesn't seem like it can hurt you!" Xiao Bai said tentatively.

"Hmph! You're still pretending, kid. If it weren't for your lightning strike that put me into a two-month slumber back then, how could that brat Xiao Yan have possibly broken through to the second-star Dou Zhe level!"

The old man grumbled somewhat discontentedly from inside the ring.

Xiao Bai seemed to be deep in thought. It seems there was a story behind this!

The old man must have been watching Xiao Yan the second time he beat him up. He noticed it then, but when he saw that Yao Lao suddenly stopped moving, he didn't pay any attention to it.

It seems that Fu Zhao intervened back then. Tsk tsk. Old Man Yao is really lucky. He wasn't completely obliterated by Fu Zhao. He was probably just giving him a warning since Fu Zhao didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

"Xiao Bai, where are we going? Now you should be able to tell me, right?" Thinking of this, Yao Lao was a little angry and gritted his teeth. This little fox, he was determined not to tell him where the destination was before we came out.

"Warcraft Mountain Range!"

"Where in the Monster Mountain Range can I find strange fire?" Yao Lao asked, somewhat surprised.

"No!"

"Then what are you doing there? You're not playing a trick on me, are you?" The old man was a little suspicious, but not angry.

"After we retrieve something, we'll go get the strange fire!" Xiao Bai said calmly.

He needed to go to the cave in the Monster Mountain Range to get the flying combat skill, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to search for the strange fire in the desert on foot.

It's just unknown whether Little Fairy Doctor has obtained the map yet, otherwise he would have to search for it one by one on the cliffs outside the Monster Mountain Range.

"What are you retrieving? I'm rather curious. You've never left Wutan City since you were a child, how do you know so much?"

The old apothecary was genuinely surprised. This kid had been under his nose since he was a child, yet he seemed to know a lot about the outside world. Compared to Xiao Bai, his disciple seemed like a normal boy who had grown up in Wutan City.

Could there be someone like him on this kid's person?

But after observing him for a while, it seems that this kid doesn't quite understand what is common knowledge to the strong, and he doesn't seem like it either.

"Nothing special, I've read a lot since I was a child and I love listening to stories. When I was young, I met a strange man named Tiancanzi in Wutan City, who told me many stories about the Dou Qi Continent. So I just know a little more about this world than the average person!"

Xiao Bai was going to spend a long time with Yao Lao, so he was too lazy to find reasons to hide certain things. This explanation was the most perfect, and he could use it to justify anything.

Whether he believed it or not, Xiao Bai believed it anyway, and it was pretty much the truth.

"Oh? There are such people in Wutan City?"

Yao Lao didn't doubt Xiao Bai's words. There are many strong people in this world, and it's not surprising that some of them have strange hobbies. He had seen many of them when he was at his peak.

"Yes! I find Wutan City quite special. It had Tiancanzi before, and now it has someone like you, senior. Who knows what kind of figures will emerge in the future! Don't you think so, senior?"

Xiao Bai smiled calmly, asking Yao Lao a question with a mix of teasing and seriousness.

When Yao Lao heard Xiao Bai's words, he thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. Putting aside him and the so-called Heavenly Silkworm Child, just in the small Xiao family, there was this young man and that little girl with an extraordinary background.

Wow, I never expected that this small city in the remote northwest of the continent would have such good fortune.

"By the way, you still haven't answered me what you're going to retrieve from the Monster Mountain Range?" At this moment, Yao Lao suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai hadn't answered his question earlier.

Xiao Bai felt a little helpless. Why did Yao Lao seem to be talking so much today? Could it be that he's going through menopause?

"Go and handle the funeral arrangements for a senior, and collect some payment along the way!" Xiao Bai said somewhat cryptically.

"You kid, you wouldn't be going to rob a tomb, would you?" Old Yao pondered for a moment, then asked with some suspicion.

"What are you saying, senior! I just couldn't bear to see the old senior's body left to rot in the wilderness, so I wanted to give him a proper burial, okay? Besides, does the senior dare to say that he has never entered the tombs of powerful figures and competed for the treasures within?" Xiao Bai immediately retorted.

The "Burning Technique" in the old man's hand and the method for controlling the poison pills of the Calamity Poison Body both seem to have been obtained in this way.

"I don't mean to be contemptuous of your behavior, I just want to ask what level of cultivation this person had in life, so that we don't get caught up in it later!" Yao Lao explained when he saw that he had misunderstood.

On the Dou Qi Continent, unless a powerful figure comes from a race with astonishing ancient heritage like the Eight Ancient Clans, which other powerful figure hasn't entered a cave or tomb? There's no moral constraint on this on the continent.

Even the owners of those caves and tombs were well aware of this.

In the past, he might have underestimated this place, but after hearing Xiao Bai talk about the Heavenly Silkworm Seed, he had to be careful.

You have to understand that he is only a soul right now. If Xiao Bai gets some wrong information and enters a tomb at the Dou Zun level, then don't blame him for backing down.

Based on his previous experience exploring the caves and tombs of powerful individuals, he knew that every powerful person valued their peace after death very much.

There will be many obstacles inside. If it's really someone of that level, with him and Xiao Bai both crippled and young, they can't go now.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai realized that he had misunderstood earlier. After all, according to his previous life's views, tomb raiding was not a respectable thing and was illegal, which was why he had overreacted.

Besides, whenever tomb raiding is mentioned, he can't help but think of a certain shameless fat man.

"Don't worry, senior, this person was at most a Dou Huang in his lifetime, he can't threaten you or me!" Xiao Bai comforted him, somewhat speechlessly.

Damn it, I didn't expect Elder Yao to be so cautious now. After all, he was the Pavilion Master of the Starfall Pavilion and a peak Dou Zun in his previous life. Shouldn't he have directly shown contempt for this small Jia Ma Empire?

Xiao Bai chatted with the somewhat talkative old doctor all the way, and the journey wasn't boring at all.

The two chatted all the way, one with rich experience and the other having read the original work, and they had a great time talking, but there was nothing of substance to their conversation, it was all just bragging.

In three days, the small town at the foot of the Monster Mountain Range was already in sight.

We've arrived at Qingshan Town!
