"These stone boxes are all locked. Let's look for the keys first."
Little Fairy Doctor followed Xiao Lei to the stone table. Seeing the metal locks on the stone boxes, she frowned slightly and said.
Xiao Lei nodded slightly, pretending to scan the cave, finally settling on the skeleton.
Hanging from the skeleton's hand were three black keys.
Xiao Lei stepped forward, grabbed the keys, and gently pulled them, taking the three keys with him. He also removed the small scroll from the bone seam.
"What's that?" Little Fairy Doctor saw Xiao Lei's actions and asked curiously upon seeing the scroll.
Xiao Lei opened the scroll and glanced at it,
then said, "A fragment of a map." He handed the scroll to Little Fairy Doctor and used the keys to open the three stone boxes.
After several attempts, he successfully opened all three boxes.
Inside each of the three stone boxes was an ancient scroll.
"Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Advanced Xuan-Rank Flying Combat Technique: Eagle's Wings, Advanced Xuan-Rank Combat Technique: Roar of the Mad Lion."
The two opened the three scrolls one after the other, clearly seeing their contents.
"You got to choose the spiritual herbs first, so it's my turn this time, right?"
Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up when she saw the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, and she said to Xiao Lei beside her.
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "What do you want to choose?"
"I choose the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. Because of my innate attributes, I can't become an alchemist, so I can only rely on these things."
A hint of sadness flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's face, then she stared at Xiao Lei and said, "The other two combat technique scrolls, and that fragment of the map, can all be yours. Do you agree?"
Although Little Fairy Doctor was also very tempted by the flying combat technique, she could only reluctantly give it up for the sake of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.
She didn't greedily think of keeping both the flying combat technique and the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture for herself.
"Okay, but I need to read through the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture first. You can also read the other two combat techniques," Xiao Lei said, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"Thank you," Little Fairy Doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully upon hearing Xiao Lei's agreement.
"You're welcome. I'll read through the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture first. If you're worried, you can take the other two scrolls."
Xiao Lei smiled, took out the scroll of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, unfolded it, and began to read it carefully.
After only one reading, he had already memorized its contents and then tried to comprehend it.
[You began to comprehend the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. With the blessing of your heaven-defying comprehension, you quickly mastered it and grasped many methods of making and detoxifying poisons, as well as methods of ingesting poisons to enhance your strength.]
[You noticed the shortcomings of this method and tried to improve it, so you began to study it in depth.]
[You had an epiphany. Based on the contents and characteristics of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, as well as the essence of various combat techniques you had mastered, you deduced and created a new technique, the Myriad Manifestations Poison Scripture!] [
Besides the unique properties of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, it can also directly refine and absorb all poisons in the world to enhance cultivation, and even absorb the poisons from others for its own use, imbuing one's battle qi with a highly toxic attribute!]
Not bad!
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Lei exhaled a breath of turbid air, closed the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture scroll again, feeling quite satisfied.
"Here you go," after finishing his comprehension, Xiao Lei kept his word and directly handed the scroll to Little Fairy Doctor.
"Thank you," Little Fairy Doctor thanked him again, reaching out to take the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture scroll.
Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Now you should be relieved, right? You can put away what you have now, right?"
Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face froze slightly, then a hint of embarrassment appeared.
She opened her delicate hand, holding a small bag of green powder in her palm.
"I..." Caught red-handed by Xiao Lei, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed slightly, and she stammered, unsure of what to say.
"Alright, it's normal for a girl like you to be on guard, coming here alone with me to search for treasure in the middle of the night," Xiao Lei shrugged and smiled.
"But don't worry, although I'm not a good person, I wouldn't do something like 'crossing the river and burning the bridge.'"
"Thank you," Little Fairy Doctor thanked him again, quickly putting away the green powder in her hand, and then handed the other two scrolls to Xiao Lei. "These are yours."
Xiao Lei didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the two scrolls, temporarily putting them away. Then he said to Little Fairy Doctor,
"Next, it's time to dig for herbs. I only need the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, the rest are all yours. As for the gold coins, you can take as many as you want, I'll take the rest, how about that?"
Little Fairy Doctor said, "You can have all the gold coins, I can't take them all."
After saying that, Little Fairy Doctor took out herb shovel and began to dig for herbs.
While Little Fairy Doctor was digging for herbs, Xiao Lei first put away all the gold coins, and then he stood aside and began to comprehend the two fighting techniques, Eagle Wings and Mad Lion's Roar.
With his extraordinary comprehension, Xiao Lei quickly mastered both combat techniques.
The flight combat technique, Eagle Wings, as the name suggests, allows one to fly in the sky.
Normally, only those who reach the Dou Ling realm can fly short distances.
After reaching the Dou Wang or Dou Huang realm, one can use their released Dou Qi to condense wings on their back and soar into the clouds.
However, after cultivating Eagle Wings, even a Dou Zhe can condense wings on their back and fly through the air.
In comparison, the Mad Lion's Roar technique was much more ordinary; Xiao Lei only studied it casually before setting it aside.
Before long, Little Fairy Doctor had finished digging up all the herbs in the stone chamber.
"Here, your Ice Spirit Flame Grass," Little Fairy Doctor said, holding more than ten small bottles in her arms, taking out one jade bottle and handing it to Xiao Lei.
"Thanks," Xiao Lei said, taking the jade bottle containing the Ice Spirit Flame Grass into his system space.
Little Fairy Doctor then put all the other jade bottles into her bosom, and instantly, her slender waist became much fuller.
"Let's go, let's go back," Xiao Lei said with a playful smile, glancing at Little Fairy Doctor's waist.
Little Fairy Doctor nodded, having no objection.
"Hmm?" Xiao Lei had just taken a step when he suddenly stopped, a playful smile appearing on his face.
"What's wrong?" Little Fairy Doctor asked, somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Lei said, "Someone's coming."
"What?" Little Fairy Doctor's expression changed instantly upon hearing this, then she shook her head, saying, "Impossible, no one else here knows!"
"But someone has indeed come, and quite a few of them," Xiao Lei said calmly, looking at Little Fairy Doctor.
"You suspect I called them?" Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face showed anger, saying, "If I wanted to harm you, would I have waited until now?"
"I didn't say that," Xiao Lei shrugged, saying, "Be careful, they're coming in."
Hearing Xiao Lei's words, Little Fairy Doctor quickly turned her gaze towards the stone door, and sure enough, she heard the footsteps growing louder.
"Hehe, Little Fairy Doctor, thank you for leading the way. It seems the information I received was indeed true!"
The footsteps grew closer, and a slightly smug chuckle rang out.
