In the silent space channel, Xiao Ming and the girls appeared in a flash. With a flick of his hand, a small boat expanded against the wind, transforming into a massive giant space boat.
The group quickly boarded the giant boat, and Xiao Yi Xian, familiar with the process, touched a spot at the bow, causing an energy barrier to envelop the entire boat. Suddenly, the boat trembled and accelerated, swiftly moving towards the endless space channel.
"Ye City doesn't have a direct space channel to Holy Pill City, so we have to make our way to a city called Qingling City first. From there, we can reach Holy Pill City through another wormhole," Xiao Ming explained.
"It will take us three days to reach Qingling City from here, and then approximately four more days from Qingling City to Holy Pill City. So, it will probably take us around seven to eight days to arrive at Holy Pill City. Let's rest well inside the space boat during this time," he continued.
Both Xiao Yi Xian and Medusa nodded in agreement.
After a moment of hesitation, Medusa opened her red lips and asked, "You were caught in the explosion just now. You didn't sustain any injuries, did you?"
Medusa's question took Xiao Ming by surprise. In the past few days, apart from their intimate moments in bed, Medusa had always maintained a cold expression. It was unexpected for her to show concern for his well-being.
Perhaps it was because they had truly become partners.
When Medusa noticed Xiao Ming's gaze, she furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "What's with that look?"
Xiao Ming shook his head and replied, "It's nothing. I was prepared, so I didn't get hurt."
"Why do you have to take such risks, throwing the Core Lightning Bead from such a close distance!" Xiao Yi Xian also furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
Xiao Ming's actions had been too reckless. It wasn't that she lacked confidence in him, but the Core Lightning Bead was an item that could seriously injure Old Ghost Zhai Xing in an instant. If Xiao Ming had accidentally been caught in the explosion, the consequences would have been dire. Xiao Yi Xian didn't want Xiao Ming to take such risks when there was no need for them.
Even without taking risks, Old Ghost Zhai Xing couldn't pose a threat to them.
Regarding this, Xiao Ming felt somewhat helpless as well. Although Old Ghost Zhai Xing couldn't do anything to them, his cultivation realm was higher than everyone else's, and it would be difficult to stop him if he wanted to escape.
Only by catching him off guard could they hope to restrain him. Moreover, at that time, Old Ghost Zhai Xing had attempted to launch a surprise attack, and Xiao Ming had simply gone along with it. The danger wasn't significant, and the outcome proved so. Xiao Ming didn't sustain any injuries.
Therefore, Xiao Ming waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Let's not mention the people from the Hall of Souls anymore. By the way, why don't you summon your Nether Poison Flame to let me take a look at it?"
Knowing that Xiao Ming was changing the subject, Xiao Yi Xian pouted but still summoned the flame.
A green flame, resembling ghostly fire, rose into the air.
Medusa looked at the Nether Poison Flame with curiosity. In fact, she had always thought that there were too many Heavenly Flames around Xiao Ming.
"How about it? Can you sense it?" Xiao Ming smiled at Xiao Yi Xian, glancing at the Nether Poison Flame.
"Sense it?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Ming in confusion before turning her gaze to the Nether Poison Flame. After a moment, she exclaimed in surprise, "The toxins in the Nether Poison Flame seem to have disappeared?!"
"Yes," Xiao Ming smiled faintly, then used his hand to draw the Nether Poison Flame from the air into his palm.
After carefully examining it, he said, "The toxins inside have indeed been absorbed, but not completely."
After all, the Nether Poison Flame had been nurtured by a thousand-year poison barrier, so it wasn't easy to completely eliminate the toxins it contained.
However, the remaining toxins were insignificant. With Xiao Yi Xian's control over the Woeful Poison Body and now the Nether Poison Flame, she could easily control whether these toxins had any effect.
In other words, Xiao Yi Xian was now capable of refining medicinal pills.
Xiao Ming shared this information with her.
"You mean I can become an alchemist?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in disbelief. Becoming an alchemist had always been her dream, but her attributes didn't seem to align with it, so she settled for being a doctor instead. Now, Xiao Ming unexpectedly told her that she could become an alchemist, and she couldn't help but be shocked.
Medusa also looked at Xiao Ming with confusion. Xiao Yi Xian was a Poison Master, so how could she become an alchemist?
"In fact, becoming an alchemist doesn't necessarily require the Fire-Wood attribute. As long as you can proficiently manipulate flames, it's enough," Xiao Ming explained with a slight smile.
"Proficient in manipulating flames?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up with excitement.
"To put it simply, alchemy is the process of extracting the essence of medicinal materials and fusing them in a unique way. Controlling flames allows you to extract the essence, especially when using a Heavenly Flame. Tang Zhen, the Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley, for example, can control the Nine Thunder Dragon Flame to refine pills," Xiao Ming explained.
"The Heavenly Flame you possess is the Nether Poison Flame, which contains powerful toxins. That's why I didn't mention it earlier. Now that the majority of the toxins in the Nether Poison Flame have been absorbed, it's time to tell you. I asked you to look over my alchemy notes before we came to the Central Plains to lay the groundwork for this."
Xiao Yi Xian recalled that Xiao Ming had asked her to study his alchemy notes before they arrived in the Central Plains. She had no idea it would be for this purpose.
She wanted to express her excitement, but Xiao Ming poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
"Don't get too carried away. Alchemy requires extremely high control over soul power, especially during the process of fusing the essence of medicinal materials. Tang Zhen can only refine sixth-tier pills."
However, Xiao Yi Xian's enthusiasm remained undeterred. Being able to refine pills was better than not being able to at all. Sixth-tier pills were not considered low-tier either. Besides, she had Xiao Ming, a Master Alchemist, to guide and teach her. Perhaps she could surpass Tang Zhen.
If Xiao Ming knew what Xiao Yi Xian was thinking, he would probably think that she was being too optimistic. In the Dou Qi Continent, if one didn't possess the Fire-Wood attribute, being a sixth-tier alchemist was already considered the pinnacle.
Nevertheless, there was still a chance to succeed. If she didn't try, how would she know?
As Xiao Yi Xian's excitement reached its peak, she couldn't contain her emotions any longer. Without hesitation, she leaned in, capturing Xiao Ming's lips in a passionate kiss.
Meanwhile, Medusa, who stood beside them, was irritated but chose to remain silent. She could only hum lightly and turn her head away.
After what felt like an eternity for Medusa, Xiao Yi Xian reluctantly withdrew her lips from Xiao Ming's.
"Thank you, Xiao Ming," she whispered, her voice filled with affection.
Xiao Ming returned the smile, his own eyes filled with tenderness. He gently reached out, his fingers caressing the soft strands of Xiao Yi Xian's purple hair.
"Between you and me, there's no need to say thank you," Xiao Ming replied. He was overjoyed to see his beloved happy.
After chatting for a little while longer, Xiao Ming headed into the cabin and found a room for himself. Xiao Yi Xian stayed behind to pilot the spatial boat and delve into the alchemy notes Xiao Ming had given her.
Medusa also found a room to rest in.
...
Xiao Ming lay on the bed in the luxurious room, taking a brief nap. He then sat up straight and softly called out in his mind.
'Simulator.'
[Ding, the host has a chance to simulate life. Would you like to start the simulation?]
Xiao Ming had another chance for a life simulation. Naturally, he chose to start when prompted by the simulator.
'Start the simulation.'
[Simulation begins -]
[Day 1: You are cultivating in Ye City. Your partner has broken through to the three-star Dou Venerate. The Hall of Souls' Tianzun attacks you by surprise, but you take the opportunity to seriously injure him using the Core Lightning Bead. After a fierce battle, you and your partner manage to kill all the incoming enemies...]
