Chapter 19: Little Fairy Doctor's Conquest Successful!

Chapter 19: Xiao Yi Xian Successfully Won Over!

Time always passes inadvertently.

On this day, Xiao Yi Xian was Cultivating in her room as usual.

"Knock knock knock—"

Xiao Yi Xian stopped the circulation of her Fighting Qi, her eyes brightened, and she hurried to open the door.

The visitor was Gu He, and it could only be Gu He.

"Teacher, what did you bring me this time?" Xiao Yi Xian asked with a smile.

These days, Gu He would come to check her Cultivation progress, occasionally explaining the basics of Alchemy, and bringing her various Spirit Medicine and food.

Xiao Yi Xian loved Spirit Medicine very much. During this time, she had even tried to use the flames condensed from her Fighting Qi to refine Spirit Medicine into Medicinal Pills.

Unfortunately, her skills were shallow, and she always wasted them. During this period, she hadn't managed to refine even a single Tier 1 Medicinal Pill.

Gu He habitually patted her head.

"Lately, I've been so focused on giving you things that I forgot you need something to store them in."

"What I brought you this time is a storage ring."

Xiao Yi Xian took the storage ring Gu He handed over, carefully examined the patterns on it, and then put it on her hand.

"Teacher, is this a female storage ring? The Flame Flower pattern on it is so beautiful!" Xiao Yi Xian's face was red, like a freshly ripened peach.

Gu He nodded. "I specifically went to an auction to buy it. Well... although the auction house didn't dare charge me."

Xiao Yi Xian giggled.

storage rings are very precious in the Fighting Qi Continent. Even a person in the Great Dou Master Realm might not necessarily own one.

Yet this storage ring was merely a means for the auction house to curry favor with Gu He.

"Teacher, the space inside is so huge!" Xiao Yi Xian immersed her consciousness into the storage ring and suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise.

Gu He was the pill king after all. Could a storage ring he personally went to an auction to "buy" be ordinary?

With a thought, Xiao Yi Xian put the Medicine Pouch she was carrying into the storage ring and then took it out again.

She then repeated this action with an Eight Immortals Table in the center of the room.

"Teacher, this is kind of fun! Can I be put inside myself?"

Xiao Yi Xian's upturned eyelashes trembled, finding it very novel.

Gu He tapped the snowy-white tip of her nose. "If you were put inside, it wouldn't be called a storage ring; that would be called a Portable Space!"

Xiao Yi Xian wrinkled her nose and asked, "What is that?"

"A very Advanced Magic Treasure, but according to the logic of this world, it can only house the Souls of the dead."

"Teacher, how do you know everything about everything!" Xiao Yi Xian looked at him with starry eyes.

Gu He shook his head and waved his hand to bring out the Pill Furnace. "Less flattery, come do some Alchemy!"

"This time, we'll continue refining the condensing fire pill from last time!"

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips and whined, "Master, you're being mean to me~"

Gu He found it funny; she switched between calling him Teacher one moment and Master the next, really knowing how to act spoiled.

Under Gu He's feigned stern gaze, Xiao Yi Xian also turned serious. She condensed a small flame with her Fighting Qi and began today's Alchemy lesson.

...

"Boom!"

"..."

"Boom!"

After the furnace exploded six times, Xiao Yi Xian successfully refined a condensing fire pill.

"Teacher! I finally succeeded!"

Xiao Yi Xian was like a little sunflower sharing her joy, holding the Medicinal Pill high for Gu He to see.

Gu He looked at the fiery red Medicinal Pill held before his eyes. The faint medicinal fragrance proved the grade of the pill.

It was indeed Tier 1.

"Congratulations, you have successfully stepped across the threshold of an Alchemist," Gu He said warmly with a pleased expression.

But at such a joyful moment, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she gently placed the condensing fire pill she had refined into a bottle.

"What's wrong?" Gu He asked.

Xiao Yi Xian pinched the Jade Bottle, her expression somewhat dazed.

"Teacher, do you know why everyone calls me Xiao Yi Xian?"

Without waiting for Gu He to answer, she continued,

"My original name isn't Xiao Yi Xian."

"My original name... I gave it up voluntarily."

"Because I wanted to cast off the past..."

"So, when people often called me Xiao Yi Xian later on, I became Xiao Yi Xian."

She gave a brilliant smile, her eyes holding a bit of playfulness.

"Xiao Yi Xian has become an Alchemist; she has finally succeeded in 'Undergoing Tribulation'!"

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's lively little face filled with hope and gratitude, Gu He gently embraced her.

Before long, the shoulder of Gu He's clothes was dampened by salty tears.

Gu He gently patted her small head again and again, feeling a bit helpless.

This girl had remembered what he told her before—he didn't like seeing her shed tears.

So, she curled into his embrace, using it to hide her tears from his sight.

"You're welcome..." Gu He could only tell her this.

[Ding! The target's favorability toward the host has increased by 11%. Current favorability is 76%!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: "Earth Rank Advanced Sonic Dou Technique · Azure Dragons Roar"!]

[Azure Dragons Roar: Can launch attacks against the Soul! Ordinary people's Soul power is weak, while an Alchemist's Soul power is strong. Therefore, Azure Dragons Roar will change according to the strength of the user's Soul power, with great room for improvement.]

[Target Xiao Yi Xian's favorability toward the host: 76. Congratulations to the host for successfully winning her over! The host can change the bound target and proceed to the next conquest!]

The System's notification sound made Gu He daze slightly.

He had simply treated Xiao Yi Xian sincerely as a disciple and hadn't intentionally tried to farm favorability points. It was truly a case of "planting a willow for shade, but it grew into a tree"!

"Teacher, I used to feel that fate was unfair to me, always snatching the people who loved me away from my side. But since becoming your student, Teacher, I feel..."

"Fate can be moved by me! The world can be ruled by me!"

Xiao Yi Xian's voice was firm and resonant, and there was a small flame in her eyes, radiating an astonishing conviction.

And this flame of conviction was ignited solely by Gu He.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tear stains and smiled slightly. "Thank you, Teacher, for taking me out of Qingshan Town and leading me into the Cultivation of an Alchemist. I understand your painstaking efforts!"

Gu He rubbed her fluffy little head.

"It's good that you understand..."

He mentioned his true purpose.

"However, I must also leave."

Xiao Yi Xian suddenly grabbed Gu He's hand, her eyes wide like a cat's pupils. "Teacher! You don't want me as your student anymore?"

She shook Gu He's large hand. Her slender waist and the panicked expression on her face made her look like duckweed in the rain.

Gu He was also somewhat helpless. He hadn't expected that on the day he was supposed to say goodbye, he would accidentally max out Xiao Yi Xian's favorability.

71% favorability is admiration; Xiao Yi Xian had even exceeded it by six points.

Under such admiration, the reluctance to part was hard to put into words.

"How could I not want you?"

Gu He explained patiently, "Your teacher is also the Alchemist of the Cloud Mist Sect, so I must go back."

Xiao Yi Xian pursed her lips, then hid her small emotions and broke into a smile.

"Okay, then Teacher, you go back! I will Cultivate obediently here and practice Alchemy well!"

Gu He patted her head and picked up the Wooden Box on the table.

"How about giving this condensing fire pill to Teacher as a gift?"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brightened, a galaxy of stars hidden within them.

"Everything I have belongs to Teacher!" she said firmly.
