Battle Through The Heavens : I Am The Thunder Emperor

Chapter 64: First Encounter with the Little Doctor Fairy

"Purple Crystal Stone!"

Seeing the dark purple object, a slight smile tugged at the corner of Mo Yu's mouth. He hadn't expected that a casual stroll would lead him to find such a valuable item.

The Purple Crystal Stone is an extremely rare high-grade crafting material. It often appears alongside Black Crystal Stone, but in much smaller quantities. Its appearance is almost identical to Black Crystal Stone, making it difficult to distinguish between the two unless you are very familiar with them.

Fortunately, as a master of crafting, Mo Yu was well-versed in such materials and didn't miss the opportunity. The Purple Crystal Stone was one of the key materials for crafting the Fire Shield, which tied into the growth of his Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder.

Mo Yu had planned to devour the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame to push the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder to its peak. Being cautious by nature, he had made thorough preparations to ensure success.

After all, the Profound Thunder wasn't a natural entity of the Dou Qi Continent. Using it to devour a Heavenly Flame was an incredibly dangerous undertaking, as both the Profound Thunder and the Heavenly Flame were violent and destructive forces. Even though the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame ranked relatively low and hadn't reached its peak, it would still be challenging for the Profound Thunder to consume and refine it.

That's why Mo Yu had made some special preparations to increase the chances of success. The Fire Shield was a crucial part of that plan.

The Fire Shield was a special tool shaped like a net. While it wasn't particularly useful in combat, it had the unique ability to contain and control flames, protecting against extreme heat. Mo Yu's plan was to use the shield to trap the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, allowing the Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Thunder to devour the flame and improve the odds of success.

Thanks to Ya Fei's assistance, Mo Yu had managed to gather almost all of the auxiliary materials for the Fire Shield through the Mittel Auction House. However, a few key ingredients were still missing, including the Purple Crystal Stone.

He hadn't expected to find it so soon, just after leaving Wu Tan City. It proved once again that risk and opportunity often go hand in hand.

Smiling faintly, Mo Yu casually toyed with the Purple Crystal Stone under the admiring gaze of the store clerk. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Do you have any more Purple Crystal Stones? I'd like to buy in bulk."

The clerk blinked in surprise before shaking his head. "Sorry, sir, this is the only one we have."

Sighing inwardly in disappointment, Mo Yu's expression remained calm. He raised a hand, producing a light green card loaded with 5,000 gold coins, which he handed to the clerk. After paying, he quickly stored the Purple Crystal Stone in his ring.

As the clerk processed the payment, Mo Yu casually asked, "Was this stone found in the Magical Beast Mountain Range?"

"Yes, the mountain range is rich in medicinal herbs and crafting materials. Our store has a dedicated procurement team, but each trip to the mountains costs a lot of money, especially to hire mercenaries for protection." The clerk, pleased with the successful sale, returned the card to Mo Yu with a broad smile.

Mo Yu nodded slightly. As he packed up and prepared to leave, he noticed a sudden commotion at the entrance of the shop.

"Wow, it's the Little Doctor Fairy!"

"She's so beautiful. Look at that tiny waist…"

Two men standing near Mo Yu whispered excitedly to each other.

"Oh? So I actually get to see the Little Doctor Fairy," Mo Yu muttered to himself, raising an eyebrow as curiosity piqued. He turned his gaze toward the entrance.

As the crowd parted, Mo Yu finally got a clear look at the young woman being admired by everyone.

She wore a pale white dress, and while she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still quite captivating. Her gentle smile exuded a fresh and ethereal quality, greatly enhancing her charm. Mo Yu's gaze traveled over her, pausing at her slender waist, which was tied with a green sash. Her waist was so delicate that it seemed like you could wrap your hands around it completely. Mo Yu's eyes briefly flickered with admiration.

Although the Little Doctor Fairy was already beautiful at this time, much like Xun'er, she was still young and hadn't fully matured. Moreover, she had yet to control the Terrifying Poison Body, which meant she lacked the cold, indifferent aura that she would later develop when her power grew.

But Mo Yu knew that the Terrifying Poison Body would eventually cause this gentle girl to become emotionally distant, even though, at her core, she was a very kind-hearted person. The Little Doctor Fairy had always dreamed of becoming an alchemist. Her gentle and kind nature didn't mean she wasn't cautious; she always kept her guard up against men trying to get close to her. She would politely reject them and carried medicinal powders capable of subduing Dou Practitioners for self-defense. Though these powders weren't lethal due to her compassionate nature, if provoked, she wouldn't hesitate to use poisons to torment her enemies.

The Little Doctor Fairy had a sensitive heart. What she truly needed wasn't much—just a little trust could bring a beautiful smile to her face. Even a villainous scoundrel might soften upon seeing such a simple desire.

Additionally, because of her alchemy dreams, the Little Doctor Fairy had a deep love for medicinal herbs. For her, finding a rare herb was far more exciting than receiving a fortune in gold.

Reflecting on this, Mo Yu shook his head slightly. If the Little Doctor Fairy had been born on Earth, would she have been completely deceived by unscrupulous men?

Seeing her from afar, Mo Yu had no intention of greeting her. Despite her kindness and need for affection, the Little Doctor Fairy was cautious. If Mo Yu approached her without reason, she would undoubtedly become wary.

Mo Yu watched as she sat down to treat the wounded mercenaries. She was gentle and kind, her smile bringing out the soft side of even the usually fierce mercenaries. It was hard to imagine that this gentle woman would one day become known as the fearsome "Heavenly Poison Lady."

After observing this beautiful scene for a while, Mo Yu finally turned and left the shop.

As the sky darkened, Mo Yu casually found an inn at the end of the street and rented a room.

Sitting on the bed, he examined the Purple Crystal Stone he had acquired earlier. A faint smile appeared on his face.

"I've almost gathered all the materials. All I'm missing now is the Taixuan Golden Silk and the Golden Sun Wood, and I can forge the Fire Shield."

Sighing, Mo Yu's thoughts wandered back to the beautiful figure he had seen earlier.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should find a good opportunity to meet the Little Doctor Fairy tomorrow…"
