Chapter 13: 8-Star Dou Master, Strength Soars
"That's amazing!"
At this point, Little Fairy Doctor is still a naive young girl who has never seen the world and is full of curiosity about everything.
After chatting for a while, guided by Little Fairy Doctor, Mu Zhan finally saw the small valley that Little Fairy Doctor had mentioned.
Following the instructions of the Little Fairy Doctor, he flew into the valley. The valley was filled with many herbs and wildflowers, all in a variety of colors, which, together with the nearby stream, made the entire valley exceptionally beautiful.
Old Wei, who had been guarding them all the way, gave Mu Zhan and his companion ample private space. He found a cave outside the small valley and moved in, waiting for news from Mu Zhan.
"arrive!"
Mu Zhan stopped on the grass in the small valley, put Little Fairy Doctor down, and habitually stretched his arms.
But Mu Zhan didn't expect that his unintentional action would be noticed by the perceptive Little Fairy Doctor.
"Am I too heavy?"
Little Fairy Doctor watched Mu Zhan move his arms and wondered if she was too fat and was pressing on Mu Zhan.
"The energy here is indeed abundant!"
Mu Zhan took a breath of the air here, and indeed the energy concentration was higher than that outside.
"This place is really special."
Mu Zhan sensed everything in the small valley. He could roughly guess that there was a secret here, but with his current abilities, it would be difficult for him to discover it.
After all, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan from the original story had also been here, but they didn't discover any opportunities here.
Mu Zhan secretly made a mental note of it, planning to return and explore this place in the future, hoping to gain something from it then.
"Little Fairy Doctor, we might be staying here for a while, let's go build a small wooden house."
Mu Zhan still needs to cultivate here for a while. Looking at this empty valley, sleeping on the ground is not a solution, so it would be better to build a small wooden house.
"Okay, okay!"
Little Fairy Doctor really likes this place. If she could build a small wooden house here, it would feel like living in seclusion.
They got right to work. Mu Zhan was in charge of finding some materials to build the small wooden house. The two of them, a man and a woman, worked together and it wasn't tiring.
The little wooden house was built in just half a day. Little Fairy Doctor also transplanted many flowers and plants to decorate the little wooden house.
Patting the dirt off her hands and wiping the sweat from her face, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the cozy little house and the busy wooden wares in front of her, and she felt as if she were living a married life.
Actually, if it weren't for her physical condition, Little Fairy Doctor would be happy to be an ordinary person and live her own happy life.
"These days are wonderful!"
This little wooden house was their wedding room. Gradually, the little girl stood there, lost in thought again.
Mu Zhan worked like he'd never done any work before, following the procedures with great enthusiasm. Just as he was getting into it, he asked Little Fairy Doctor to get him some tools, but after calling her several times, he got no response. When he turned around, he saw Little Fairy Doctor slacking off.
"Hey, Little Fairy Doctor, slacking off again, huh!"
He immediately put down what he was doing, walked over, and poked the little girl's head with his finger.
"Woo~"
Little Fairy Doctor's daydream was interrupted by Mu Zhan. She covered her head, looked at Mu Zhan, and her eyes were full of innocence.
"Stop playing innocent and get to work."
Mu Zhan resembled a labor foreman who exploited labor, determined to squeeze every last drop of value from Little Fairy Doctor.
"snort!"
Faced with Mu Zhan's lack of romantic understanding, Little Fairy Doctor snorted and turned to continue transplanting flowers and plants.
"Wait! Come back!"
Just as she was angrily stomping her feet to get to work and decided to ignore Mu Zhan for half an hour, Mu Zhan's voice rang out from behind her.
"What is it now! You..."
Little Fairy Doctor turned around, her little face full of unhappiness. She thought Mu Zhan was going to exploit her again by making her do other work.
But when she turned around, what came into view was Mu Zhan's handsome face so close to hers. He stretched out his strong hand and gently stroked her face, wiping the mud off her face with his fingers.
"Your face is covered in mud."
Mu Zhan has a bit of OCD. Just now, seeing a drop of mud on Little Fairy Doctor's face, he couldn't help but touch it.
"Okay...okay, it's...it's gone now."
After wiping, Mu Zhan realized that he and Little Fairy Doctor were very close to each other, and he could feel her breathing.
Little Fairy Doctor's face also turned red. She didn't expect Mu Zhan to suddenly pull this move. Having never had any experience in love, she could only stand there dumbfounded.
"Um... well, I saw you had mud on your face just now, and I couldn't help myself..."
Mu Zhan also felt that he had been a bit presumptuous just now, and scratched his head to explain.
"No...it's nothing, I...I'm going to work."
Little Fairy Doctor felt her face burning; all she wanted to do was escape from here as quickly as possible.
"This little girl..."
As Mu Zhan watched Little Fairy Doctor flee in a hurry, he felt something sprouting in his heart.
……
For a while afterward, Mu Zhan and Xiao Yi Xian lived in peace. Xiao Yi Xian even summoned the Lan Ying (a mythical beast), and the two of them and the beast lived together in the valley.
At first, the Storm Eagle was very wary of Mu Zhan, but it was tempted by Mu Zhan's pills and monster meat and betrayed him, always sticking to Mu Zhan and begging for food.
"You're an alchemist?!"
As a physician, Little Fairy Doctor's biggest dream is to become an alchemist, and she has great respect for those alchemists.
She hadn't expected that Mu Zhan was not only very strong, but also a rare alchemist.
The already insecure Little Fairy Doctor felt even more insecure. Mu Zhan was too outstanding and too dazzling. She was just an ordinary doctor. How could she be worthy of him?
"It's alright. Although you don't have the talent to be an alchemist, you can become an excellent poison master."
Mu Zhan noticed Little Fairy Doctor's disappointed mood and decided to comfort the girl so that she wouldn't lose confidence.
"Don't think that poison masters only harm people. They have many uses, including saving lives. Perhaps in the future, I can even teach you how to refine elixirs!"
Mu Zhan then explained the specifics of the Poison Master to Little Fairy Doctor.
"Really!"
When Little Fairy Doctor heard Mu Zhan mention poison masters, although they weren't as glamorous as alchemists, they still met her expectations.
"Of course, I'll help you."
Mu Zhan patted his chest and assured him.
"Um!"
Looking at the boy's resolute and sincere expression, Little Fairy Doctor's heart softened even more.
Unconsciously, the boy's importance in her heart had increased.
……
During this time, Mu Zhan not only digested the flesh and blood of the two fifth-tier magical beasts, but also successfully devoured the two fifth-tier magical cores.
His cultivation level also rose steadily, breaking through from a three-star Dou Shi to an eight-star Dou Shi.
With the help of the body-refining techniques in his cultivation method and the tempering of the violent energy in his demonic core, his physical strength is basically comparable to that of a peak third-tier magical beast.
If a newly ascended fourth-tier magical beast were to appear now, Mu Zhan would be confident in defeating it without activating his battle form.
