Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xuan Yi looked at the two little girls again, her eyes becoming even softer. Finally, she looked deeply at Xiao Tian. She was naturally very clear about her injuries at the time.
But the other party was still able to heal her, and even said it was within his capabilities. Even at her peak, such an injury would have taken a great deal of effort to cure.
She increasingly felt that the man in front of her was becoming more and more mysterious, and yet she had never heard of such a person on the continent. From his aura, she could tell that he was not a rogue cultivator.
Xuan Yi could not help but sigh. This person in front of her was even more outstanding and mysterious than that person from before, especially his appearance, which was like an immortal banished to the mortal world.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Xiao Tian saw her constantly scrutinizing him, tilted his head, and asked.
Xuan Yi quickly averted her gaze. Thinking of how she had just been acting, she could not help but blush slightly in embarrassment. She thought to herself, *He would not think I am some kind of pervert, would he? I am going to die, I am going to die.*
Xiao Tian glanced at Xuan Yi. Although she was nearly a hundred years old, much of her time was spent in secluded cultivation. She had only ventured out and explored when she was younger.
In a way, she was similar to Medusa—long-lived but a bit more naive and sweet. However, Xuan Yi's experiences made her generally more mature than Medusa.
At the same time, a one-sided slaughter was taking place in Myriad Snake Canyon.
Medusa stood high in the sky, casually swatting a snake-headed man who had escaped from the valley into dust with a single palm.
She suddenly felt a pang in her nose, as if someone was speaking ill of her. Xiao Tian's handsome face involuntarily appeared in her mind, and she secretly thought:
*It must be that big scoundrel secretly speaking ill of me. Hmph, he always affects my grand ambitions. Scoundrel, just wait. See how we conquer a vast empire for you, let you achieve your dreams, and become the number one Gigolo in the world.*
As she thought, Medusa's face revealed a captivating, enchanting, and dazzling smile, a beauty that could bring ruin to a nation. She even reached out and touched her belly.
"Sister Cai Li, what are you smiling about?" Qing Lin, who was beside Medusa, asked curiously.
She stroked Qing Lin's little head. "Nothing."
Then, she instantly cast aside the thoughts in her mind, returning to her cold and majestic demeanor. Her icy gaze swept downwards, and she said coldly, "Speed up the attack! Those who resist, kill!!!"
Upon hearing this, the people of the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace below wielded their techniques even more desperately, completely abandoning any defense.
There was no other way; the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace had abundant resources. Injured? Just take medicine! They had nothing but medicine. After all, among the many projects the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace primarily operated, the most extensive was elixirs.
After the people of the Heaven Punishing Divine Palace killed all the resistors, they even crushed every egg inside, and worms were split vertically. The emphasis was on thoroughness.
Among the women, the division of labor was clear: Medusa and Qing Lin were responsible for expanding territory, Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun were in charge of overall coordination and observing the movements of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, while Ya Fei, Han Yue, Han Xue, and others were responsible for logistical supplies.
Without Xiao Tian's sexual harassment, the women all displayed the demeanor of strong women, managing the entire Heaven Punishing Divine Palace in an orderly manner, and its territory was continuously expanding.
As for Xiao Ding, Hai Bodong, and others, they were responsible for taking over and managing new territories and stabilizing the situation within them.

By the campfire, Xiao Tian asked Xuan Yi, whose cheeks were still slightly flushed, the question he had earlier:
"By the way, with your status and strength, there should not be anyone or any force that would attack you, right? How did you get injured here?"
Xiao Tian was also very curious about the cause of Xuan Yi's injury, and he had a guess, but it had not been officially confirmed yet.
Xuan Yi's delicate face was once again tinged with a hint of embarrassment. She had not left Holy Pill City for so many years, and her recent outing had ended up like this.
She subtly rolled her eyes, feeling a sense of losing face and embarrassment whenever she was in front of him. She already felt that her image in his eyes had completely collapsed.
She sorted out her thoughts, quickly adjusted her emotions, and slowly began to speak:
"I needed to refine a pill at the time, but the Pill Tower did not have the medicinal ingredients I needed, so I came to the Central Region Southern Domain, because the Central Region Southern Domain is sparsely populated and also a place with many medicinal ingredients."
Xiao Tian also nodded lightly. The Central Region Southern Domain was a world ruled by magical beasts. Anyone without sufficient strength who entered would quickly become fertilizer for the magical beasts.
"I searched for a long time and finally found the medicinal ingredient I needed. Beside the ingredient was a guarding magical beast. Its strength was roughly equivalent to a Five-Star Dou Zun, but with its physical toughness, it was probably similar to a Six-Star Dou Zun. To get the ingredient, I had to defeat it."
After stating the magical beast's strength, Xuan Yi could not help but show a slight hint of embarrassment on her face, because she was a peak Nine Revolutions Dou Zun, and despite such a vast difference in strength, she actually had to fight the opponent for a long time before defeating it.
After saying this, Xuan Yi looked up at Xiao Tian. Seeing that he looked a bit like he was struggling to hold back laughter, she rolled her eyes helplessly. "If you want to laugh, just laugh."
"Cough, cough, how could I be that kind of person? You are mistaken." Xiao Tian lightly coughed, sat up straight, and spoke nonsense with a serious expression.
"I am, after all, primarily an Alchemist. It is reasonable for my combat power to be a bit weaker, is it not?"
"Yes, you are right. That is exactly what you said. So, you were injured by a magical beast?" Xiao Tian glanced at her, secretly thinking, *When you find out my combat power and Alchemist rank, you will probably be embarrassed for a long time.*
Listening to Xiao Tian's insincere words, Xuan Yi secretly rolled her eyes. Even a fool could tell the full extent of his perfunctoriness in those words. She secretly thought, *Later, I will show you my alchemy skills and astound your eyes.*
Her red lips parted slightly, and she continued, "Ultimately, despite the disparity in realms, I still managed to drive it away. Just as I had driven it away and was about to gather the medicinal ingredients, someone suddenly launched a sneak attack on me."
"People from the Hall of Souls?"
"How did you know?" Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Tian in confusion.
"I have fought with people from the Hall of Souls. When I was treating you, I vaguely sensed that the aura on it was very similar to theirs."
"It was them. The one who attacked at the time was the Third Celestial Venerable of the Hall of Souls. Although I reacted in time, I was still injured... After a struggle, I was no match for him and ultimately escaped with severe injuries, though he did not fare well either. Then, when I woke up again, I was here."
Xuan Yi said with a slightly gloomy expression. The people of the Hall of Souls often attacked Alchemists, and this time, she herself had almost fallen victim.
