The Little Fairy Doctor thought for a moment, then finally put it away.
"You made a very wise decision." Xiao Zhitian turned his head and smiled meaningfully.
"Let's go. We'll go down and take a look now."
"We? You're still taking me down? Are you using me as cannon fodder?"
"It's very safe down there. No cannon fodder is needed. Considering your kindness to me in town earlier, I'll reluctantly share some of the treasure with you."
"You're surprisingly kind."
Xiao Zhitian instantly activated his Thunder Peng Wings, and a pair of deep blue, magnificent wings appeared behind him.
"D–Dou Qi Transformation Wings? You're a Dou King?" Seeing the Thunder Peng Wings, the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes widened in shock, and she stammered.
"No. Are you coming down with me, or are you going to climb down slowly with a rope?" Xiao Zhitian replied casually as he looked at her.
The Little Fairy Doctor hesitated briefly. "I'll go down with you."
"Then stay close. If you fall, I won't be responsible."
Before he finished speaking, she hurriedly moved closer. Xiao Zhitian steadied her, ensuring she could descend safely.
"What are you doing? Aren't you leaving yet? I'm coming down with you because I'm afraid you'll go first and take all the good stuff…" she said quickly, sounding slightly flustered.
Xiao Zhitian didn't respond further. He leaped off the cliff and descended rapidly. The Little Fairy Doctor shut her eyes tightly, feeling the sudden drop. The wings behind Xiao Zhitian trembled slightly as he adjusted his balance, flying steadily toward the middle of the cliff.
Halfway down, Xiao Zhitian noticed a mountain cave. As they approached, a snake-like shadow suddenly shot out. A long halberd appeared in his hand, and with a swift motion, he cut it in half, letting it fall into the abyss below.
He landed firmly at the cave entrance and glanced at Little Fairy Doctor, who was still standing stiffly.
"We've arrived."
The Little Fairy Doctor quickly opened her eyes. "W-What was that thing just now? It scared me to death."
"Just a rock snake. Let's go. We'll go inside and take a look." Xiao Zhitian shrugged and took out a fist-sized moonstone, illuminating the surrounding area.
After walking for about ten minutes, he looked at the light-yellow stone door blocking their way.
"There's a protruding stone block under the door. Press it and it will open."
Hearing this, the Little Fairy Doctor looked at him in confusion. Following his instructions, she found the protruding stone block and pressed it. The door slowly rose and opened.
"How did you know?" she asked.
"I told you, I know many things. You just don't believe me. I can even read palms. Want me to read yours?"
"If you don't want to say, then don't. And reading palms… you just want an excuse to trick me."
Xiao Zhitian didn't reply. He walked straight past her into the stone chamber.
"You can think about it later. I'm going in to take a look first."
She quickly followed behind him.
Inside, the stone chamber was small and everything could be seen at a glance: three piles of gold coins, a flower bed, three boxes on a bluestone platform, and a withered skeleton sitting on a chair.
"I don't need the gold coins. You can take them all," Xiao Zhitian said, walking toward the flower bed.
"Xuan Tian Grass, Purple Heart Vine, Wood Spirit Flower… I can refine a Mysterious Spirit Pill."
"I don't want this Ice Spirit Flame Grass, but I want two-thirds of the herbs in the flower bed," Xiao Zhitian said, looking at the Little Fairy Doctor after she finished collecting the gold coins.
Without waiting for her reply, he took out a small jade shovel and dug up his share of the medicinal herbs, storing them directly into his system space. Time in the system space was completely stagnant, so the herbs would not lose any medicinal efficacy.
"Aren't you afraid the herbs will lose efficacy if you don't store them in jade bottles?" the Little Fairy Doctor asked in confusion.
"No. I have my methods."
Seeing that he didn't wish to explain, she didn't ask further and began collecting her own share.
While she was gathering herbs, Xiao Zhitian seized the opportunity.
"System, check-in."
[Ding. Magical Beast Mountain Range Treasure Cave check-in successful. Obtained: Heavenly Thunder Helberd Three Forms, Crossing Calamity Poison Art.]
The Tian Lei Ji Fa Three Forms is a Dou Technique used with the Heaven Smiting Thunder Halberd, divided into: Moon Slash, Void Breaker, and Judgment of Heavenly Punishment.
Moon Slash is a charged attack that releases a tracking crescent-shaped slash.Void Breaker is a sweeping strike that emits a circular slash in the surrounding area.Judgment of Heavenly Punishment forms a heavenly array that locks onto the enemy. A giant Fangtian Huaji then descends from the array to execute judgment, making escape impossible.
"This is simply a divine skill! Two unavoidable skills and one group AoE… absolutely incredible."
The Crossing Calamity Poison Sutra is a cultivation method for poison masters, summarizing countless poison recipes, poison pills, and various poison body cultivation techniques.
Xiao Zhitian closed the system interface and walked toward the withered skeleton. He bowed slightly, then gently retrieved the parchment scroll from the skeleton's hand. Upon opening it, a lotus imprint appeared.
The Little Fairy Doctor finished gathering herbs and walked over.
"What are you looking at?"
"My purpose for coming here this time."
"I see. Then this parchment belongs to you. Is it a map? If it's inconvenient to say, you don't have to tell me."
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. It's just a fragmented map that records the location of an exotic flame."
Hearing this, the Little Fairy Doctor felt a strange warmth in her heart. The fact that he would share such a secret showed clear trust.
"Exotic flame? That's extremely dangerous. I heard even Dou Emperor experts can be burned to death by it. You shouldn't go looking for something like that."
"Are you worried about me?"
"W-Who would worry about you? Don't misunderstand! Who would care about someone like you?" Her face turned red with embarrassment.
Xiao Zhitian didn't pursue the topic. He raised the black key taken from the skeleton.
"Alright. Let's open the boxes."
He opened the first box. Inside lay a colorful ancient scroll. Xiao Zhitian held it, then looked at Little Fairy Doctor.
"This Seven-Colored Poison Art is for you. I don't want it."
"A poison Art?" She opened it in surprise. "It actually records methods of concocting poisons. Was the owner of this cave also a physician?"
"Perhaps." Xiao Zhitian replied casually as he opened the second box.
Click.
The second box revealed a black scroll.
He opened it.Profound High-Rank Flying Dou Technique: Wings of the Eagle.
"This is a Flying Dou Technique. Do you want it?"
"What is a Flying Dou Technique?" she asked.
"It allows you to experience flight even before reaching the Dou King stage. However, it was formed from the wings of a Tier 5 Magical Beast and contains its remnant soul. That remnant soul will attack your spirit during cultivation."
