290: News about Xiao Yixian, head to the Glacier Valley

Woeful Poison Body? Xiao Yan’s friend?

Lin Xiu’s expression suddenly changed, “Xiao Yan, what is your friend’s name?”

“Little Fairy Doctor.”

Xiao Yan felt a bit strange seeing Lin Xiu’s tone suddenly turn serious, but he still answered truthfully.

He sighed, a hint of sadness in his voice, “I met her on the way to the Pill Domain. Little Fairy Doctor was with a child, saying she came to the Pill Domain to find the child’s father.”

“I wanted to help, but she refused to say who the child’s father was.”

“Her tone at the time was full of uncertainty; she didn’t seem very sure if the child’s father would be in the Pill Domain.”

“But the Pill Gathering is over, so she probably didn’t find him.”

Immediately after, Xiao Yan’s expression turned angry, “The people from Ice River Valley are simply too much! To actually target a mother with a child!”

Tang Huo’er and Ye Chong, who were present, also couldn’t help but show indignant expressions upon hearing this.

After all, for Ice River Valley, one of the three great valleys, to lay hands on a mother, such an act was indeed somewhat disgraceful.

Among the crowd, only Yao Tianhuo looked at Lin Xiu.

Because among everyone present, he felt he was the one who understood the situation best.

After all, the Tiandu Fire Seal was taught to Lin Xiu by him, and Lin Xiu had just used it on someone with a Woeful Poison Body.

And that person happened to be a woman, and also happened to be called Little Fairy Doctor.

The most crucial thing was that he had deliberately concealed the side effects of the Fallen Heart Flame at the time, causing Lin Xiu and Little Fairy Doctor to lose control.

Although the specific process was not seen by him due to Lin Xiu sealing the naring.

However, Yao Tianhuo felt that having lived for so many years, even if he were brainless, he could guess what happened midway.

Especially after sealing the Woeful Poison Body, Little Fairy Doctor left without a word.

One must know that along the way, they had no conflicts at all.

At this moment, Zi Yan seemed to have thought of something as well, turning her head to look at Lin Xiu.

Because she remembered that before coming to Central Plains, besides Yun Yun’s master and disciple, there was a white-haired Young Miss in the team, who had the Woeful Poison Body and was also called Little Fairy Doctor.

So… her child might be… Zi Yan bit down with her pearly teeth, her heart tightening at this guess.

Damn the Shape-shifting Grass! If I hadn’t maintained this youthful form, how could another woman have gotten ahead of me?

“Senior Brother?”

Seeing Lin Xiu suddenly fall silent, Xiao Yan could feel an energy brewing within his body.

It was like the calm before a storm.

“I’m fine.”

Lin Xiu gave him a faint smile, “I suddenly remembered that if you hadn’t reminded me about Old Mu Gu before the Pill Gathering, I might have been tricked by him in the Dan Realm.”

“So…”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s expression brightened, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Under such a gaze, Lin Xiu nodded gently, “That’s right, what’s the harm in making a trip to a mere Ice River Valley!”

“Thank you so much, Senior Brother!”

Xiao Yan wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, revealing an excited smile, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him. How could such a good person like Senior Brother refuse me?

After rescuing Little Fairy Doctor, perhaps I could ask Senior Brother to help find the child’s father again.

Senior Brother just won the Pill Gathering championship. At this moment, those who want to befriend him must already be lining up. Such a simple matter, I believe many people will scramble to do it.

“Mr. Lin, since you’ve decided to go, there’s no time to delay.”

Ye Chong said in a deep voice.

Tang Huo’er frowned, puzzled, “Why? Does Ice River Valley covet the Woeful Poison Body for something?”

“It’s not just the Woeful Poison Body!”

Ye Chong slowly shook his head, a serious expression on his face, “Ice River Valley has always had a hobby of collecting various special Physiques, because they often try to transfer the Souls of powerful individuals within the valley into special Physiques, thereby achieving their goal of possession.”

“No wonder they wanted to capture Little Fairy Doctor, so that’s why!”

This was the first time Xiao Yan had heard of it, his face sinking, a strong worry surfacing.

“Let’s depart now.”

After listening to Ye Chong’s account, Lin Xiu’s heart was also inevitably clouded with worry.

“I’ll lead the way for you.”

Having finally gotten an opportunity, Ye Chong disregarded the potential trouble of being targeted by Ice River Valley afterward.

Lin Xiu directly tore open the Void Realm, and the group passed through it, arriving directly outside Holy Pill City.

“I’ll take Elder Ye over first, you all follow behind. Can you find the way?”

Lin Xiu was still a bit uneasy, but the Nine Thousand Thunder Movement couldn’t carry too many people at once.

“I have a map.”

Xiao Yan quickly took out a blueprint from his naring. He had prepared for the possibility of Lin Xiu not helping and going by himself, “Senior Brother, if you see Little Fairy Doctor, try to stall as much as possible.”

“Tian Shuangzi, the Grand Elder of Ice River Valley, is a one-star Dou Venerable, and their Valley Master, Ice Venerable, is a figure who became famous many years ago. When Old Feng mentioned him, his tone was somewhat apprehensive.”

“I know what to do.”

Lin Xiu nodded, casting a glance at Yao Tianhuo and the others.

“Try not to fall too far behind you. Don’t be impulsive, and never neglect your own safety.”

Yao Tianhuo was afraid that Lin Xiu would lose his composure in a hurry. After all, Ice River Valley was their territory, and no one could guarantee if they had any trump cards… Snowy white, glittering ice crystals, in the depths of an ice plain, a grand hall stood tall.

“Valley Master!”

A figure rushed in, footsteps hurried, into the icy hall, kneeling and cupping his hands before the white-robed figure seated on the icy throne.

“Has the Woeful Poison Body been captured?”

A flicker of excitement and anticipation flashed in the man’s emotionless eyes.

“Valley Master, Lin Xiu, the champion of this Pill Gathering, and Elder Ye Zhong, the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower’s Ye family, have come to visit.”

The person replied.

Ice Venerable frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing across his face, and he pondered, “Invite them in.”

Although he didn’t know the reason, he had learned about this Pill Gathering. He heard that this year’s champion was very young, with astonishing Alchemist talent, and a great chance to reach the Ninth-grade Alchemist in the future.

For such a talent, Ice Venerable had the intention of forming a connection.

The person acknowledged and left.

Not long after, Lin Xiu and Ye Chong walked in side by side.

“Ye Chong greets Valley Master Ice.”

Facing a Dou Venerable, Ye Chong could not afford to be disrespectful.

Lin Xiu also cupped his hands and greeted him.

“Please be seated.”

Ice Venerable raised a hand, and immediately someone brought chairs for the two of them.

His gaze was more on Lin Xiu, “I heard that this Pill Gathering had many twists and turns, and Mr. Lin crushed the entire field with a five-colored pill lightning to win the championship. Not being able to witness it in person is truly a regret in life.”

In the hall, the people of Ice River Valley widened their eyes upon seeing the smiling figure on the throne.

Normally, seeing the Valley Master smile was a rare occurrence.

“It’s just pill lightning. If Valley Master Ice is curious, I can demonstrate it for you on the spot.”

Lin Xiu smiled.

“There’s no need for that.”

Ice Venerable showed a polite smile at the corner of his mouth, “Mr. Lin has just won the championship, so I’m afraid inviting you to take action once would be quite expensive.”

“Haha, Valley Master Ice, you’re too formal. I never talk about money; I only talk about fate.”

Lin Xiu chuckled softly.

“Oh, Mr. Lin’s sudden visit today seems to indicate that our Ice River Valley’s fate has arrived.”

Ice Venerable was stunned for a moment, then got to the point, “May I ask, Mr. Lin, what business brings you to Ice River Valley?”

A hint of warmth flickered in his eyes. If it wasn’t particularly difficult, establishing a favor with this Pill Gathering champion would be a good choice.

“Valley Master Ice, to be honest, we are here to find someone.”

Ye Chong glanced at Lin Xiu, then cupped his fists towards the figure on the throne.

“Find someone?”

Ice Venerable looked puzzled, “Who are the two of you looking for?”

Could it be that someone in his Ice River Valley was an old acquaintance of this Pill Gathering champion?
