Inside a room at the auction house, Ya Fei held a list with items for wilderness survival, such as tents, insect repellents, and various medicinal herbs.
She looked at Xiao Zhitian in surprise: "Little Brother Xiao Zhitian, are you leaving? So many things, are you going away for a long time?"
"Yes, I'm leaving today, for about a year. Please help me prepare the items on the list, Sister Ya Fei."
"Leaving for so long, what are you going to do?"
"I'm an adult now, so I plan to go out and gain some experience."
"Indeed, with your current strength, staying in Wutan City would limit your growth.
I'm also preparing to be transferred back to the headquarters.
When that happens, if you need to find me, come to Jia Ma Holy City."
Ya Fei rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at Xiao Zhitian.
"Alright. Please prepare what I need as soon as possible.
I won't pay you now; I'll wait until I can rely on you."
Xiao Zhitian said with a smile, looking at the charming and mature face before him.
"If that were true, I'd be more than happy.
I'll go prepare everything for you now."
Ya Fei stood up and gave Xiao Zhitian a seductive smile, her voice full of alluring charm.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ya Fei walked back in and handed him a storage ring: "I've prepared everything, and I also got you some other wilderness survival items."
Xiao Zhitian took the storage ring, put it on his hand, and secretly transferred everything into his system space: "Sister Ya Fei is truly thoughtful; she even helped me fill in the gaps."
"Be careful while you're out training; I'll be waiting for you, big brother."
Xiao Zhitian reached out and wrapped his arm around Ya Fei's waist, pulling her into his embrace and kissing her enchanting red lips.
Ya Fei did not struggle.
After a long kiss, their lips parted.
"Wait for me!"
Then, Xiao Zhitian put on his cloak and strode out of the auction house room.
"What a little rascal, always taking advantage whenever he gets the chance."
Ya Fei touched her lips and murmured to herself, watching Xiao Zhitian's departing figure.
Just three days after Xiao Zhitian left, a figure swiftly emerged from the Xiao Family and gradually disappeared into the night.
This person was Xiao Yan, who was also leaving the Xiao Family to gain experience.
This time, Xiao Yan chose a different route than before.
He decided to directly enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range from Wutan City, considering Xiao Zhitian's route and the fact that this area was less explored, making it more suitable for training and seeking opportunities.
On a path paved with bluestone, a handsome young man in black slowly appeared.
It was Xiao Zhitian, who had traveled for a long time after leaving Wutan City.
Looking at the three characters "Qingshan Town" written on the huge archway, he wondered, "Have I finally arrived?"
"System, check in."
[Ding! Qingshan Town check-in successful.
You have obtained a no-grade movement technique: Void Piercer Art.]
Xiao Zhitian looked at this check-in reward in confusion and then read the introduction of the movement technique: This movement technique has no grade.
The caster can traverse long distances in a very short time to reach their destination.
The entry level allows for an instant movement of up to ten meters, minor accomplishment a hundred meters, major accomplishment a thousand meters, and perfect mastery allows one to arrive wherever their heart desires.
"Holy crap, holy crap.
I hit the jackpot!"
Looking at this introduction, Xiao Zhitian's heart pounded, and the smile on his face wouldn't fade.
Xiao Zhitian walked through the archway with his hands behind his back, casually glancing at the dazzling array of shops along the street.
Seeing that they mostly sold low-grade weapons and items, he found nothing that caught his eye.
As Xiao Zhitian walked, passersby were also drawn to him.
Some bold female mercenaries even came over to strike up a conversation.
Others couldn't help but wonder when such a handsome and dashing man with a face like jade had appeared in Qingshan Town.
"Thousand Medicine House? Is this the Thousand Medicine House where Little Fairy Doctor is?"
Xiao Zhitian walked to the innermost part of Qingshan Town and suddenly paused, attracted by a medicinal herb store in front of him.
He walked into Thousand Medicine House and casually glanced at the medicinal herbs; they were all low-grade.
The Blood Lotus Essence that Xiao Yan encountered had not appeared; he didn't know if it was too early and hadn't been acquired yet, or for some other reason.
However, it wasn't important, as it would be useless to him anyway.
After not finding any medicinal herbs he wanted, and not seeing Little Fairy Doctor's figure, Xiao Zhitian turned and walked out of Thousand Medicine House.
As soon as he stepped out, he heard: "Thousand Medicine House's herb-gathering team is recruiting!
Anyone who has reached a Two-star Dou Zhe can sign up."
A crowd of people swarmed over to sign up.
Xiao Zhitian also walked over with interest to take a look, but found that Little Fairy Doctor was not there.
"Are you going to join the herb-gathering team?"
A gentle and pleasant voice sounded in Xiao Zhitian's ear.
Xiao Zhitian turned and saw a young woman wearing a plain white dress and a veil over her face standing beside him, asking him.
Xiao Zhitian glanced at the young woman, noting her attire and slender waist.
"This person should be the gentle and kind Little Fairy Doctor."
There are many beauties in Dou Po, but Little Fairy Doctor's waist is truly exceptional.
Xun'er's purity, Ya Fei's charm, Little Fairy Doctor's waist, Medusa's cold allure...
"No, there are so many people.
I won't join; I just came to watch."
"If you want to join, I can directly bring you into the herb-gathering team.
Joining the team makes it safer to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"Oh, are you Little Fairy Doctor?
Why are you looking for me?"
Xiao Zhitian asked, puzzled.
"Because I see that you are quite young and might not have much experience.
The Magical Beast Mountain Range is very dangerous, and I can't bear to see you lose your life just like that."
Little Fairy Doctor said with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, but I still refuse to join."
Xiao Zhitian smiled slightly at Little Fairy Doctor and turned to leave.
Seeing Xiao Zhitian refuse again, a hint of surprise flashed across Little Fairy Doctor's face: "What a strange and interesting person."
After strolling through Qingshan Town and browsing the surrounding shops, Xiao Zhitian found nothing he needed, so he headed directly towards the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Two days later.
"Boom!"
A loud sound came, and a figure and a bear-type magical beast separated.
The figure was naturally Xiao Zhitian, and the magical beast opposite him was a two-meter-tall Tier 2 magical beast: a King Kong Bear.
This type of magical beast was a standout among Tier 2 magical beasts.
The King Kong Bear had golden fur all over its body, incredibly powerful arms, and sharp, gleaming claws that were extremely formidable.
Even an ordinary Dou Shi would be severely injured or killed if hit by its claws.
The man and beast had been fighting for a long time.
Seeing that it couldn't defeat Xiao Zhitian, the King Kong Bear raised its head and pounded its chest, letting out a furious roar that soared into the sky.
It then lunged forward, its sharp claws viciously slashing at Xiao Zhitian.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhitian stepped aside, instantly moving two meters away, dodging the sharp bear claws.
He raised the long halberd in his hand and brought it down vertically on the King Kong Bear.
The King Kong Bear, still in mid-air, swinging its claws, couldn't stop its momentum and was directly sent flying several meters.
Looking at the one-meter-long, ten-centimeter-deep, charred wound on the King Kong Bear's back, where all the blood had been evaporated, Xiao Zhitian sighed, "This beast's fur is really tough.
Such a heavy blow only caused this much injury; it didn't even touch the bone."
