Chapter 36: From Now On, I Will Make You All The Pills You Need!
"Alright then, prepare yourself over the next few days, and then you can leave with me."
Gu Fei reached out and gently patted Xiao Yi Xian's head, his eyes showing a tenderness he hadn't felt since his divorce from Xun'er in the Gu realm.

She glanced at Gu Fei secretly, her eyes filled with a smile.
...
On the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
"Octadic Smash"
In a dense forest, a massive black ruler struck a Wind Wolf's waist from a tricky angle.
With such a heavy blow, the Wind Wolf let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.
The person fighting was none other than Xiao Yan. He had been training himself daily at the edge of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, growing through life-and-death battles.
This time, Xiao Yan faced a Wind Wolf, a second-rank magical beast known for its speed, which could pose a challenge even to higher-level Dou Masters.
Without the experience gained from recent battles, Xiao Yan would never have been able to kill the Wind Wolf so quickly.
However, despite his victory, Xiao Yan also suffered injuries, with blood still flowing from a wound on his arm.
"Damn beast..."
Xiao Yan cursed softly as he headed towards a nearby cave. He didn't bother collecting the Wind Wolf's corpse, intending to let its scent deter other magical beasts, allowing him some respite.
Elsewhere, Xun'er and Ling Ying were getting closer to his location.
Xun'er's eyes brightened as she stopped at the entrance of a cave, as if sensing something.
Ling Ying exchanged a glance with her before carefully probing the cave with his aura.
He detected a familiar, weakened presence.
"Miss, we've found him."
After two days of searching, Xun'er and Ling Ying finally found Xiao Yan.
They hurried into the cave, where they found Xiao Yan sitting cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed. Xun'er was overjoyed to see him.
But when she noticed the dried blood and wounds on Xiao Yan's arm, her joy quickly turned to concern.
"Xun'er?"
Xiao Yan opened his eyes and was surprised to see Xun'er suddenly appear.
"Brother Xiao Yan, are you alright?"
Xun'er asked with concern, gently bandaging his arm.
Reunited once more, Xiao Yan didn't ask where Xun'er had been during their time apart. He understood that Xun'er was someone he couldn't keep up with at the moment and shouldn't expect to stay by his side.
He needed to work harder.
As they sat together, Xun'er tenderly cleaned the blood off his arm. After a moment of hesitation, she softly said, "Brother Xiao Yan, I'm sorry..."
Xiao Yan looked at her in confusion.
"Someone tried to kill you because of me... it was my family... I'm sorry."
Xun'er lowered her gaze, unable to meet Xiao Yan's eyes.
But Xiao Yan gently patted her head.
"It's alright, how could I blame you?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared on his still-youthful face.
"Do powerful families think they can take lives as they please?"
Xiao Yan's voice carried a note of anger he couldn't suppress. Remembering the still- unconscious Yao Lao in his ring, his brows furrowed.
Gu Yao had merely mentioned him in passing, and his subordinates had traveled from the distant North-west part of the central continent, attacking him on sight.
Xiao Yan, of course, couldn't stand up to the Gu Clan's strongmen and had narrowly escaped death.
If not for Yao Lao's timely intervention, he would have died.
Xiao Yan was still angry, though he didn't blame Xun'er.
He understood that Xun'er's mysterious background likely meant she had little control over
her circumstances.
Xiao Yan then shared his next plan.
"Xun'er, I plan to train in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, improving my strength and searching for herbs to heal soul wounds."
Even now, Xiao Yan didn't mention Yao Lao's existence to Xun'er.
Xun'er understood and didn't question why Xiao Yan suddenly needed herbs to heal soul wounds.
She remembered the mysterious expert who had been by Xiao Yan's side before and, feeling guilty, earnestly said, "Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry. I'll find the herbs to heal your soul wounds as soon as possible..."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan felt a touch of emotion and agreed. He then closed his eyes again, trying to recover his exhausted Dou Qi.
The cave fell into silence.
...
After spending two or three more days in the valley with Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fei finally decided it was time to leave.
He took Xiao Yi Xian onto the Amethyst Winged Lion King's back, planning to cross the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Gu Fei held Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist and leaped onto the Lion King's broad back.

After climbing up, Xiao Yi Xian looked back at the small valley with a lingering gaze.
"Brother Gu Fei, can we come back here in the future?"
Gu Fei gently patted her fluffy head.
"Of course, whenever you want to come back, I'll bring you here."
Only then did Xiao Yi Xian show a sweet smile.
Soon, a transparent energy shield appeared on the Lion King's back.
This was to protect them from the strong winds during high-speed flight.
What was a perilous journey for those in the Jia Ma Empire was no challenge for Gu Fei.
Low-level magical beasts, sensing the Lion King's aura, cowered and didn't dare to block
their path.
Gu Fei's goal was to cross the Magical Beast Mountain Range and reach the Eastern border of the Jia Ma Empire, near the Tager Desert. There, he sought the Green Core Lotus Flame and the second map fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
After flying for some time, Gu Fei took out a pill from a jade bottle, intending to feed it to the Lion King to restore its energy.
"So, this is a pill? It's so much more refined than the rough way I've tried to merge medicinal ingredients with ordinary flames."
Xiao Yi Xian admired the pill's smooth surface and luster.
"Not everyone needs to be an alchemist. With me by your side, I can make any pill you need!"
Gu Fei spoke gently, knowing that Xiao Yi Xian once dreamed of becoming an alchemist, but
couldn't due to her incompatible attributes.

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Xiao Yi Xian nodded obediently, her eyes full of joy.
She had finally come to terms with not being able to become an alchemist.
After several days of flying, the Amethyst Winged Lion King finally arrived at the edge of the
desert.
Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here was dry and hot. The scorching air
caused passing travelers to sweat profusely.
The intense sunlight baked the ground, making it radiate stifling heat.
The rising heat caused the scenery to blur and distort.
From a distance, the entire desert seemed to be warped.
