Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

After gritting her teeth and cursing, Little Fairy Doctor began carefully selecting the medicinal herbs she wanted in the herb garden. To her, these herbs were far more exciting than the hundreds of thousands of gold coins around her.

Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor had begun digging for medicinal herbs, Xiao Yan started moving around in the stone chamber. He paused for a while in front of the bluestone platform before continuing toward the skeleton.

Approaching the skeleton, Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands together, bowed to it, and carefully grasped the key, gently pulling it.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound did indeed attract Little Fairy Doctor's attention, but after discovering that Xiao Yan had only broken the skeleton's arm while retrieving the key, she lowered her head again and continued her great undertaking of transferring medicinal herbs.

The moment Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head, Xiao Yan also grabbed the scroll from the crack in the bone arm and sent it into the Awakening Flame Ring.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He shook off the dust from the bone arm and then placed it back on its owner.

Xiao Yan tossed the key in his hand, smiled slightly, and slowly walked towards the three stone boxes on the stone table.

Holding the key, Xiao Yan walked to the stone table, turned his head to look at Little Fairy Doctor who had already dug out all the herbs, and said with a smile, "Come over quickly, lest I open it without permission and you accuse me of trying to keep it all to myself."

Although he didn't know what was inside the scroll, since it could block his soul power, it must be a treasure at least. Having experienced treasure hunting with others, but secretly keeping one for himself, Xiao Yan was in a great mood.

"At least you still have some conscience!" After saying this coquettishly, Little Fairy Doctor walked to Xiao Yan's side with more than a dozen small bottles. After placing all the bottles on the stone table, she reluctantly picked out a few and presented them to Xiao Yan, "Here, these are yours."

Smiling, Xiao Yan accepted the jade bottle without even glancing at it, and directly placed it into his Awakening Flame Ring. The most precious medicinal herb in this cave was the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, but for Xiao Yan, these herbs were actually of little use.

With a "click," the first key Xiao Yan took out opened one of the stone boxes.

"Open it quickly!" Little Fairy Doctor was only surprised for less than a second by Xiao Yan's good fortune, and then she urged Xiao Yan impatiently.

After rolling his eyes at the eager Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan casually opened the lid of the stone box—

"A poisonous scripture?" Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow after taking the colorful scroll out of the stone box and seeing the few small characters on the side.

"The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture?" Little Fairy Doctor naturally noticed the small characters on the side of the scroll. "Could it be that the person who left these things was a poison master?"

"This thing is useless to me," Xiao Yan shook his head. "Do you want it? If you're going to be a doctor in Qingshan Town, you should at least have some way to protect yourself, right?"

"You're not planning to sell this poison manual directly so you can swallow the valuables in the two stone boxes behind it, are you?" Little Fairy Doctor didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Xiao Yan with a wary expression.

"If I wanted to keep it all to myself, I would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?" Xiao Yan rolled his eyes in annoyance. "It's fine if you don't want it..." Anyway, there's a little poison on it.

"Who said you don't want it?" Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed to want to put away the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Little Fairy Doctor immediately reached out and grabbed the scroll. "I'm just a weak woman with no talent for cultivating Dou Qi, so of course I need to rely on this for self-defense!"

“You…” Xiao Yan frowned as he looked at Little Fairy Doctor, whose expression remained unchanged after taking the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.

"What's wrong? You said this won't work for you!" Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Little Fairy Doctor took a step back warily, and a small packet of green powder slipped into her hand.

“…It’s nothing.” Shaking his head, Xiao Yan did not voice his speculation.

After seeing that Little Fairy Doctor ignored the poison on the scroll, Xiao Yan recalled the abnormality he had sensed in Little Fairy Doctor's body when he jumped down with her in his arms.

'It couldn't possibly be the Calamity Poison Body, could it?' He shook his head, dismissing the somewhat ridiculous thought.

"Put what you have in your hand away. I just felt something was off," Xiao Yan glanced at Little Fairy Doctor and took out another key. "That scroll of poison contains some toxins. Although you don't seem to be poisoned, it's best to be careful."

"what?"

"Crack!"

While Little Fairy Doctor was frantically checking her body, Xiao Yan used the third key to open the second stone box. Upon hearing the sound of the stone box opening, Little Fairy Doctor, forgetting about the abnormal hand, turned her gaze to the second stone box along with Xiao Yan.

"Another scroll?" Looking at the black scroll in the stone box, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, reached out, and took the scroll out.

Advanced Mystic-Rank Flight Combat Skill: Eagle Wings

"Flying combat techniques? There are actually flying combat techniques in this mountainous area?!" Xiao Yan was full of surprise after seeing the small print on the side of the scroll.

Although it is only a high-level Xuan-rank technique, as a flying combat skill that allows cultivators below the Dou Wang level to experience flight in advance and can accelerate the flight speed of Dou Wang level experts, if this Eagle Wings scroll is put up for auction, the final price may not be lower than that of a low-level Di-rank technique!

Even the old master's collection doesn't include any flying combat techniques!

Sensing the surprise and delight in Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor shrugged. "Alright, it seems even if I wanted it, you wouldn't give it to me, would you?"

"...Let's take a look at the last box first."

If this scroll contained a low-level Earth-rank flying combat technique or a method for creating a flying combat technique, Xiao Yan would definitely have taken it immediately. However, it turned out to be an extremely awkward high-level Profound-rank technique.

For a moment, Xiao Yan became even more concerned about what would be inside the last stone box.

Of course, what they cared about most was what was in the small scroll that the stone chamber owner kept close to his body.

“Indeed, there’s only one left. Let’s finish opening it quickly and go back.” Little Fairy Doctor nodded, her gaze turning to the last box.

"Hehe, Little Fairy Doctor, thank you for leading the way. It seems the information I received was indeed true!"

Just as Xiao Yan inserted the key into the keyhole, a loud laugh came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of people entered through the stone gate, completely blocking it.

A figure walked at the back, revealing his true identity under the moonstone's illumination. It was Mu Li, the captain of the largest and most imposing team of mercenaries protecting the herb-gathering party.

Mu Li's gaze swept over the glittering gold coins around him, a greedy glint in his eyes. He licked his lips, glanced at the stone box that Xiao Yan and the other man had opened, and smiled, "Sorry to disturb your enjoyment."

click!

The sound of the keyhole being opened answered Mu Li for Xiao Yan.

"Did you follow me here?" Xiao Yan took out the two scrolls from the last stone box, glanced at the words on the side, sighed, and asked.

"It wouldn't be considered tracking. I received information a few days ago that Little Fairy Doctor had found the treasure cave, but I didn't know the exact location, so..." Mu Li shrugged and said with a smile.

"Impossible, I only knew about this from..." A hint of doubt flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face, then she suddenly came to her senses, "You bribed my assistant?!" In an instant, Little Fairy Doctor's face was filled with anger.

"Hehe, it was just some sweet talk." Mu Li smiled, looking extremely smug.

"You bastard!" Little Fairy Doctor scolded.

"I see..." Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor with some sympathy. It must feel terrible to be betrayed by someone you trust. "So, which one do you want?" Xiao Yan casually tossed the scrolls in his hand.

"It's a high-level Xuan-rank flight combat skill, Eagle Wings."

"It's still a high-level Xuan-rank combat skill, the Roar of the Mad Lion and its accompanying cultivation technique, the high-level Xuan-rank Roar of the Mad Lion Technique?"

The third stone box contained sonic combat techniques and their accompanying cultivation methods, all of which were high-level Xuan-rank. Although they were quite rare, they paled in comparison to the flight combat techniques found in the second box.

However, a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique is definitely not to be missed for a mercenary like Mu Li.

“Of course…” Muli smiled, “I want them all!”

In an instant, Mu Li's eyes turned cold, and he sneered, "Cut off his hand! Don't let this kid die too easily! Also, be careful not to hurt Little Fairy Doctor; she's the woman I've chosen!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Mu Li's order, five of the dozen or so mercenaries behind him split off and charged toward Xiao Yan with fierce expressions.

"What a pity, you answered incorrectly." Xiao Yan sighed. Facing a group of mercenaries whose strength was not even comparable to Xiao Ning's, Xiao Yan was completely unmotivated.

"This is a high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique... Why don't you take a look at its contents first?" Xiao Yan turned to look at Little Fairy Doctor beside him. "This level of cultivation technique can basically be practiced all the way up to Dou Huang, and it even comes with a Dou Technique..."

Chapter 142 Calamity Poison Body

"What time is it? You're still thinking about dividing the spoils?!" Little Fairy Doctor looked anxious at Xiao Yan's absurd words. "Watch out!"

In Little Fairy Doctor's view, a burly man's large cleaver was slashing straight down at Xiao Yan's forehead.

“Indeed, now is not the right time to divide the spoils.” Xiao Yan nodded, as if he was completely unaware that the large cleaver was less than ten centimeters away from his head.

boom!

With a whooshing sound, the burly man, less than ten centimeters from cutting off Xiao Yan's head, was violently slapped away and rolled straight into the surrounding pile of treasure. The one who caused all of this was Xiao Yan, who was casually holding a black ruler more than two meters long.

Seeing the blood and fragments of internal organs spit out by the burly man who had been blasted away, Mu Li knew that the man was probably not going to make it.

The mercenaries who witnessed the burly man's tragic state also stopped in their tracks, gripping their weapons and looking at Xiao Yan with disbelief. The burly man was a three-star Dou Zhe, which was the highest level among the five of them, yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow from Xiao Yan.

"Well done," Mu Li clapped his hands calmly. "Killed a three-star Dou Zhe with a single blow... Looks like you're a genius too? A high-level Dou Zhe at fifteen or sixteen... How about it? Interested in joining us?"

If Mu Li hadn't shown such obvious malice in his eyes, Xiao Yan might have actually believed that this person genuinely wanted to recruit him.

"No interest," Xiao Yan curled his lip. "I'll give you ten seconds. If you don't leave by then, I'll have no choice but to ask you to die."

Xiao Yan's words completely enraged Mu Li—

"Charge! All of you, charge! Watch out for his weapons! So what if he's a high-level Dou Zhe? He's all alone!" He roared, commanding all the mercenaries, attempting to overwhelm Xiao Yan with the sheer force of a dozen or so mercenaries.

Upon hearing Mu Li's command, all the mercenaries charged at Xiao Yan with fierce expressions.

"boring."

Facing the mercenaries approaching from all directions, Xiao Yan showed no interest whatsoever. He slammed the Xuanzhong Ruler heavily onto the ground, the resulting sandstorm forcing all the mercenaries back several steps. At the same time, he dryly counted down, "Six, five, four..."

"Go to hell!"

Before the count reached three, a figure broke through the sandstorm using fighting skills and rushed over.

"Xiao Yan, be careful!" Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed in alarm.

"It's Hao Meng's Third Regiment..." The fear he felt after being knocked back instantly dissipated, and Mu Li's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope of killing Xiao Yan.

"...three, two, one."

As if he had expected it, Xiao Yan spun the Xuan Heavy Ruler in his hand half a circle, blocking the sneak attack from the eight-star Dou Zhe. At the same time, the countdown in his mouth finally ended.

"You failed to seize the last opportunity." Xiao Yan sighed, his black eyes widening as his soul power instantly swept over the dozen mercenaries opposite him.

dong dong dong dong!

All the mercenaries' eyes rolled back instantly, and they collapsed to the ground, losing their lives silently.

After shaking his hand and putting away the Xuan Heavy Ruler, Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor.

Noticing Xiao Yan's gaze, it would be a lie to say that Little Fairy Doctor wasn't afraid. But then she thought, if Xiao Yan really wanted to get rid of her, she would have been dead when she stopped him in the morning. How could she possibly have the chance to share the treasure in the cave with Xiao Yan?

Once she understood this, Little Fairy Doctor calmed down.

"You took care of them so easily... Are you a Dou Shi?" Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yan curiously. "You look only fifteen or sixteen years old, right?"

“Great Dou Master, even if everyone in your Green Mountain Town attacked together, they wouldn’t be a match for me,” Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. “Have you decided? Do you want a flying Dou Technique, or a cultivation technique that comes with it?” He held up several scrolls in his hand and shook them, signaling Little Fairy Doctor to make a choice as soon as possible.

"If you're a Great Battle Master, then I'm a Battle Spirit!"

They've probably been through thick and thin together... Although Mu Li and the others aren't even worth mentioning to Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor dared to openly criticize them in front of him.

"Xiao Yan, the young patriarch of the Xiao family in Wutan City, if you encounter any trouble, go to Wutan City, mention my name, and I'll protect you!" Xiao Yan shrugged and said with a smile.

"The Xiao family of Wutan City?"

Little Fairy Doctor blinked. As the closest major city to Qingshan Town, Little Fairy Doctor naturally knew of the existence of the Xiao family in Wutan City, but—
