Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

However, he realized that it seemed a bit too late.

The howls and curses of wolves drew closer and closer.

With no other option, he had to find a lush tree, climb up, and hide.

Sure enough, not long after, a dozen silver moon wolves chased after a dozen mercenaries.

Xiao Yang remained silent, hiding not far away.

He sprinkled a first-grade elixir he had refined himself, called Odor-Avoiding Powder, on his body.

This odor-masking powder can completely mask the smell on Xiao Yang's body.

He had prepared several portions before leaving the Xiao family.

He sprinkled some on himself before leaving the cave in the morning.

He didn't slowly climb down from the tree until the Silver Moon Wolf had chased away more than a dozen mercenaries.

He glanced in the direction the silver moon wolves and mercenaries had left.

Without the slightest hesitation, he bypassed them and headed straight for his cave.

Just as Xiao Yang returned to the cave entrance, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

The stone blocking the entrance to his cave had been moved.

Before he left, he made a point of leaving a mark on the wooden board under the stone, which corresponded to the mark on the land where he was.

The mark is a little crooked now!

Humans must have been here.

He approached the cave cautiously.

There were several ventilation holes that he had specially made on the stone blocks at the entrance.

So Xiao Yang quietly walked to the vicinity of the ventilation opening to listen to the sounds inside the cave.

He noticed a faint breathing sound coming from inside the cave.

The other person looks very tired.

However, he tried his best to suppress himself, to slow his breathing and not make too much noise.

There was only one voice inside, and the person sounded extremely tired.

Xiao Yang put on the Nine Flames Gauntlets, focused his mind on the system space, and was ready to take out the pill and put it in his mouth at any time.

Then, he suddenly pulled on the wooden plank under the stone, directly pulling the stone apart.

The next moment, he saw a figure inside the cave by the moonlight.

However, because it was quite dark inside the cave, I couldn't see who it was.

The figure inside the cave seemed to be startled by Xiao Yang's actions and shrank back.

"Who are you?!"

A woman's voice came through; it was clear and bright, and sounded very young.

Xiao Yang did not let his guard down, but instead directly used the Nine Flames Fist, condensing a ball of flame in his hand.

The light from the flames immediately illuminated the cave.

The interior of the cave is completely visible.

Xiao Yang looked at the figure inside the cave with some surprise.

It turned out to be the Little Fairy Doctor I met just yesterday.

"You are……"

Little Fairy Doctor also recognized Xiao Yang.

However, she did not know Xiao Yang's name.

Upon seeing that the person inside his cave was actually Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yang did not immediately relax. Instead, he focused his attention on the several Grade 2 antidote pills in the system space.

"Miss, this is the cave I've taken over."

Upon hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I hid here in a moment of panic."

"Don't talk about that now, come in quickly, there are a lot of Silvermoon Wolves outside!"

As soon as Little Fairy Doctor finished speaking, several wolf howls came from not far away.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang quickly sprinkled some odor-repelling powder and high-level magical beast urine at the entrance before entering the cave and quickly blocking the entrance with rocks.

Soon, he heard several wolf howls approaching.

Neither of them dared to make a sound inside the cave.

Although the Silver Moon Wolf is a first-tier magical beast.

However, it is not comparable to the Crimson Ice Serpent.

The Silver Moon Wolf is very powerful, even comparable to some weaker second-tier magical beasts.

Moreover, silver moon wolves are generally social animals.

Within the Silver Moon Wolf pack, some of the stronger members even possess second-tier strength.

The Wolf King must possess second-tier strength.

Therefore, upon seeing that it was a Silver Moon Wolf, Xiao Yang hid without hesitation.

After a while, the two breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the wolf howls starting to move away from the area.

After Xiao Yang lit the oil lamp, he was able to see Little Fairy Doctor's face clearly.

The other person looked rather disheveled, with many scratches on their gray clothes, likely from being scratched by tree branches while fleeing.

There was still some mud at the cuffs of the trousers.

The bangs on his forehead were soaked with sweat and stuck to his face.

"My name is Little Fairy Doctor."

"My herb-gathering team and I encountered a pack of Silvermoon Wolves, and then we got separated from them while trying to escape."

"When I arrived here, I saw a cave, and in a moment of panic, I pulled aside the rocks and hid inside."

"I'm very sorry, could you let me stay for one night? I'll leave tomorrow."

“I can also pay for it.”

Little Fairy Doctor clasped her hands together, looking pitiful.

Xiao Yang hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

The main reason was that he couldn't very well kick Little Fairy Doctor out at night.

Of course, the main reason is that Little Fairy Doctor is beautiful.

He had no intention of finding a woman.

But I also don't want to actively seek them out.

Now that a beautiful woman has come up to him, looking pitiful, he certainly wouldn't refuse her.

To put it bluntly, he's just lusting after other people's bodies; he's despicable!

"Alright, my name is Xiao Yang."

"You can stay here tonight, no need for payment."

A hint of joy appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's face.

"Thank you so much!"

Xiao Yang nodded and said nothing more.

He took out the monster meat and began to roast it with Lionfire.

Thanks to the odor-avoiding powder, they are not afraid of being smelled by the Silver Moon Wolf.

However, Little Fairy Doctor, who was eating dry food nearby, was startled when she saw the flames suddenly appear in Xiao Yang's hand.

Then, her eyes lit up.

Chapter 57 Battle against a Tier 2 Monster!

Are you an alchemist?

A flicker of excitement flashed in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes, and her tone unconsciously became respectful.

The ability to directly unleash flames is something only some alchemists can do.

After all, it's difficult to control flames for roasting meat if it's a fire-attribute fighting technique.

Unless you possess a different kind of fire.

However, strange flames are extremely rare.

Xiao Yang didn't hide anything and nodded directly.

"Correct."

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, a hint of admiration immediately appeared in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes.

"Excuse me, alchemist, may I become an alchemist?"

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes held a hint of expectation.

She is a doctor.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the status of physicians is rather awkward.

Because doctors are like a beggar's version of alchemists.

Alchemists can use pills to help people cure diseases, heal injuries, and improve their cultivation. There are also many auxiliary pills.

But doctors can only treat injuries and illnesses.
