Chapter 15: First Encounter with Little Fairy Doctor!
Chapter 15: First Encounter with Little Fairy Doctor!
Qingshan Town is located in the North-eastern province of the Jia Ma Empire, almost right next to the Magic Beast Mountain Range. With Gu Fei's speed, it took him less than a week to reach this place, and during the journey, he even found time to refine the Sea Heart Flame.
"It seems Qingshan Town is also called the Magic Beast Town," Gu Fei murmured softly as he observed the bustling and lively town before him.
Qingshan Town, being close to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, should logically be somewhat dangerous. After all, in the minds of the magic beasts, human territories aren't really a concern. The town's prosperity and abundance of cultivation resources should attract powerful beasts to raid it from time to time.
However, several mercenary groups, led by three major ones, are stationed here, each with over a hundred members. While taking on missions, they also safeguard the peace of Qingshan Town. Although a few mercenaries aren't exactly good people, most of them treat Qingshan Town like their home, naturally protecting it well.
Strolling around here could be a nice choice.
As he walked along the streets of Qingshan Town, glancing at the array of shops, Gu Fei stroked his chin thoughtfully. He wandered aimlessly and soon found himself in front of a pharmacy named Ten Thousand Medicine House.
The pharmacy was luxuriously decorated, with a faint scent of herbs wafting from within, making it seem quite appealing. Several burly mercenaries were stationed at the entrance, likely hired by the owner to serve as guards. Although Qingshan Town generally maintained good order, petty thieves were inevitable, and these mercenaries were there to deal with them.
Gu Fei scanned the Ten Thousand Medicine House, sniffing the faint herbal fragrance in the air, his expression showing a hint of joy. He had found what he was looking for.
At the same time, a purple-haired girl walked into the shop. Her light footsteps drew Gu Fei's attention, and he turned to look.
The girl wore a simple, pale white dress. Though not stunningly beautiful, she was undoubtedly a rare beauty. Her serene smile and refreshing, ethereal aura significantly enhanced her charm.
Her slender waist was cinched with a green ribbon, making her the most delicate and fragile figure Gu Fei had ever seen among women. Unlike in Black Mark City, Gu Fei was not cloaked in black robes this time; instead, he wore the attire of a noble young master, looking handsome and dashing.
Although he had perfectly concealed his aura, his unique temperament still attracted attention. At a glance, Gu Fei was the most eye-catching person in the entire pharmacy. Though his clothing wasn't particularly luxurious and his aura didn't suggest top-tier strength, there was something uniquely captivating about him that made people want to take a second look.
The young man stood tall and straight, his posture alone revealing that he was a noble son from a wealthy family, unlike the rough mercenaries who were active in Qingshan Town.
"Are you looking for medicinal herbs, young master?" The purple-haired girl, Xiao Yi Xian, smiled gently and approached him, asking in a soft voice. Her purple eyes, filled with curiosity, looked at Gu Fei, her slender hands hidden within her sleeves.
Even though Gu Fei wasn't one to be swayed by beauty, his tone softened a little.
From the ethereal aura and elegant beauty of the purple-haired girl before him, Gu Fei had already guessed that she was the famed Little Fairy Doctor. He began inquiring about the medicinal herbs he needed.
"I'm looking for Blood Lotus Essence and Ice Spirit Blazing Grass, among other things." Although Xiao Yi Xian was well-versed in herbal medicine and skilled in healing, her experience was quite limited due to her life in the small town of Qingshan. The herbs Gu Fei mentioned were uncommon, and she wasn't immediately familiar with Blood Lotus Essence.

Her beautiful eyes filled with slight embarrassment as she blushed at her limited knowledge.
Hearing the system's notification, Gu Fei understood and quickly explained to Xiao Yixian to avoid any awkwardness for her.
"Blood Lotus Essence is even more potent than Yellow Lotus Essence."
Xiao Yi Xian had heard of Yellow Lotus Essence, but Blood Lotus Essence being even more potent? She was momentarily stunned, then nodded and continued listening to Gu Fei.
"When I first stepped into this pharmacy, I already detected the strong scent of Blood Lotus Essence."
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian still somewhat at a loss, Gu Fei didn't want to make the beauty feel awkward, so he walked toward the source of the scent himself.
In just a few steps, he carefully scanned his surroundings. Soon, Gu Fei found what he was looking for in an inconspicuous corner of the pharmacy.
Gu Fei picked up the Blood Lotus Essence and walked over to show it to Xiao Yixian.
"This is it."
The Blood Lotus Essence resembled Yellow Lotus Essence in appearance but had a faint red hue. Though it was just a small piece, its scent was incredibly potent. Xiao Yi Xian took a gentle whiff, feeling refreshed, and her eyes brightened.

As expected, seeing Gu Fei's extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs and his unique, sharp senses, Xiao Yixian couldn't help but admire the handsome young master.
Qingshan Town wasn't large, and Xiao Yi Xian hadn't encountered many noble sons. Most of them often pestered her, claiming they were willing to pay handsomely to marry her, which annoyed Xiao Yi Xian. However, she was too gentle to say anything harsh, so she simply ignored them, growing increasingly annoyed with those idle, unskilled noblemen.
But now, although Gu Fei's attire was more modest than those young masters, his strength far surpassed theirs. Xiao Yixian's eyes sparkled as she looked at Gu Fei with admiration. "Are you an alchemist, young master?" Xiao Yi Xian asked instinctively.
After all, the ability to identify medicinal herbs and the vast knowledge he displayed were essential skills for an alchemist.
"Mm!" Gu Fei nodded, seeing no need to hide this.
Xiao Yixian smiled joyfully. "So you really are an alchemist!"

Her eyes shone even brighter with excitement, and a light blush appeared on her cheeks.

Everyone in Qingshan Town knew that the renowned Little Fairy Doctor had always dreamed of becoming an alchemist. Her gentle and kind nature made her a favorite among those seeking treatment, earning her the title of "Little Angelic Doctor."
Every time a skilled alchemist visited Qingshan Town, Xiao Yi Xian would seek them out for guidance. However, her attributes weren't suitable for becoming an alchemist, so she had to settle for being a healer instead. As a healer, she could only make medicinal powders and couldn't refine potent pills.
