Xiao Yan: ......
Yao Lao and Xiao Yan were used to Xiao Fan's easy breakthroughs, but seeing him break through again still left them somewhat bewildered.
Under their watchful eyes, Xiao Fan's aura surged toward the peak of the four-star Dou Huang realm, and then he easily crossed the threshold of the four-star Dou Huang realm, directly reaching the level of the five-star Dou Huang realm.
"what?"
Just when everyone thought it was over, the old doctor let out a surprised cry.
In Yao Lao's perception, after Xiao Fan's strength reached the five-star Dou Huang level, his soul power also underwent a sublimation. Although it was not obvious, it was clearly visible in Yao Lao's powerful soul perception.
After a while, Xiao Fan opened his tightly closed eyes, a look of joy flashing in them.
Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing in disguise. Not only did his strength rise to a new level, but he also naturally took the final step towards becoming a sixth-grade alchemist.
From this moment on, Xiao Fan has completely entered the realm of a sixth-grade alchemist.
It should be noted that Gu He, the Pill King of the Jia Ma Empire, was only a sixth-grade alchemist, while Xiao Fan, at this age, had already reached the level of Gu He, the alchemist, and in terms of strength, he completely crushed the former.
Chapter 295 Return to the Jia Ma Empire
"System, open the panel!"
Xiao Fan silently recited it in his heart.

As Xiao Fan finished speaking, the illusory panel reappeared before his eyes.
Seeing that his information had changed, Xiao Fan felt a sense of joy.
However, thinking that this improvement in strength was due to his near-death experience, Xiao Fan's joy faded somewhat.
After all, Xiao Fan didn't want to experience the feeling of being close to death a second time.
It was at this moment that Xiao Fan discovered something he had been overlooking all along.
That's the favorability rating system that appeared before. (It's definitely not that the author forgot.)
"System, what's with this favorability system?"
Xiao Fan frowned as he looked at the favorability rating section on the panel.
Character Relationships:
[Xiao Yan] Favorability level 5, Dependence.
[Yao Lao] Favorability level 3, Dependence.
【Xiao Xun'er】Affection level 74, Trust.
【Little Fairy Doctor】Affection level 83, Dependence.
【Yun Yun】Affection level 80, Dependence.
【Han Jue】Affection level 79, Trust.
【You Ruo】Affection level 95, willing to live and die together.
[Zi Yan] Favorability 70, Trust.
......
Favorability Rating Rules: 0-30: Fight to the death; 30-40: Dislike; 40-50: Slight aversion; 50-60: Strangers; 60-70: Slight liking; 70-0: Trust; 0-90: Dependence; 90-100: Shared fate.
Note: When others are kind to the host
Looking at the values on the panel, I noticed that many people's favorability towards me had changed dramatically.
Take Han Jue and Little Fairy Doctor for example. Han Jue was the leader of the Iron Cavalry Mercenary Group that Xiao Fan took in back in Sand City. He was a Great Dou Master, and Xiao Fan even left him the medicine that could help him break through to Dou Huang, Swallowing Hundred Herbs.
I remember back then Han Jue's favorability towards her had exceeded 80, right?
But now it has dropped to 79. You have to know that every 10 points is a whole level difference. It seems that Han Jue has different thoughts in his heart because of my long absence.
However, Xiao Fan didn't care about these things. After all, taking Han Jue in was just a casual move. From his current perspective, Han Jue, who could only grow to the level of Dou Huang, didn't have much appeal to Xiao Fan, and he didn't want to waste his time on him.
If he has the time and it's convenient in the future, Xiao Fan wouldn't mind disciplining him, but he feels it's unnecessary to make a special trip just because the other party's current strength is at most that of a Dou Ling.
If Xiao Fan could understand why Han Jue's favorability rating had decreased, why did Xiao Yi Xian's favorability rating inexplicably rise to over eighty?
This is only one level below You Ruo. I remember when they parted, their feelings for each other weren't this exaggerated, were they?
Remembering the warning he received when entering the inner courtyard, Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a little worried about Little Fairy Doctor.
[Host, rest assured, Little Fairy Doctor's favorability ratings have all been verified by this system and are undoubtedly accurate. Please do not doubt the professionalism of this system.]
"Then why did it surge so much?"
Although the system provided an explanation, Xiao Fan was still not entirely at ease about Little Fairy Doctor's situation. After all, she was already running around with the Calamity Poison Body, and she even went to the Izumo Empire, which was famous for its poison masters. It would be a lie to say that Xiao Fan wasn't worried.
[The surge in favorability must have a reason, and the host needs to find the answer for themselves. This system is only responsible for issuing tasks.]
Looking at the system's reply, Xiao Fan felt a strange sensation.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like the system's responses have changed somewhat compared to before.
However, Xiao Fan had a slight guess about the change in Xiao Yixian's favorability towards him.
The Izumo Empire is a territory known for its poison masters, so she must have experienced many heartbreaking things there.
The memories of living with Xiao Fan in the valley naturally made Little Fairy Doctor relive them again and again, which deepened her longing for Xiao Fan and caused her affection for him to rise sharply.
If we say that Xiao Yixian's affection for Xiao Fan is just that, it's more accurate to say that because of her difficult circumstances, she took the warmest moments of the past as her hope and used them to support herself, just like a person in the dark desperately trying to grasp the light in their hand.
That's why Little Fairy Doctor's affection for Xiao Fan increased so much.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan became even more worried about Little Fairy Doctor's condition.
"It seems I need to return to the Gama Empire as soon as possible..."
Xiao Fan had never forgotten Little Fairy Doctor, so he always saved the Source Coins rewarded by the system. He rarely used them, whether for lottery draws or the in-game store, just to help Little Fairy Doctor overcome her calamity and poison body.
After all, what Xiao Fan wanted was not simply to help her get rid of trouble, but to help her take it a step further and activate the essence of the Calamity Poison Body, the Heavenly Spirit Poison Body.
Unfortunately, this is destined to be a long-term goal. After all, Xiao Fan only has a little over 20,000 Source Coins, which is still far from meeting the requirements to activate the Heavenly Spirit Poison Body...
"Why don't they give us more missions?!"
Xiao Fan couldn't help but complain to the system in his heart. Although the rewarded battle qi points were enough for him to level up or even leap forward, he never had enough source coins. In order to save them for Little Fairy Doctor, he didn't dare to exchange them on weekdays. Not to mention the items in the shop, he didn't even dare to touch the summoning system.
[Ding! Strong host intent detected, triggering a new mission.]
[New mission: Location check-in. Please check in within the territory of the Gama Empire within fifteen days. Mission rewards: Battle Qi +50, Source Coins +500. The reward increases by 10% for each day the time limit is shortened.]
Hearing the system's sudden voice, Xiao Fan felt that the system was becoming more and more human-like. He did not refuse the unexpected task, but just sighed helplessly.
Back when the Eagle Protector dragged him out of the Gama Empire, it took the two of them a full ten days to reach the Black Corner Region.
Not to mention that everyone is currently located in the Black Corner Region, far from the Gama Empire.
Xiao Fan couldn't afford to waste any more time if he wanted to get back within fifteen days.
Furthermore, with the added bonus of receiving an extra 10% every extra day, Xiao Fan dismissed his complaints.
Having made his decision, Xiao Fan opened his eyes and looked at Yao Lao and Xiao Yan in front of him. He could only say a few words in a hurry before calling out You Ruo, intending to take her back to the Jia Ma Empire first.
Zi Yan protested, but Xiao Fan refused, citing her low strength and slow speed.
To appease Zi Yan, Xiao Fan gave her many pills and promised that she would go back to Wutan City with Xiao Yan first, and that he would go back to Wutan City to pick her up later. In addition, Xiao Yan promised to help her refine medicine along the way, so she agreed.
Although they didn't know why Xiao Fan was in such a hurry to leave, neither Yao Lao nor Xiao Yan asked any further questions. They simply told him to be careful, which saved Xiao Fan a lot of trouble.
After a hasty farewell, Xiao Fan nodded to the three of them, flapped his battle qi wings, and with a slight surge of wind and thunder power beneath his feet, he vanished from the spot.
At the cave entrance, Xiao Yan watched the figure gradually disappear into the sky, and heard the faint sounds of wind and thunder left behind. A hint of worry flashed in his eyes...
However, this time, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were completely overthinking things. The reason Xiao Fan was in such a hurry to leave was simply because of the rewards, and it wasn't as serious as Xiao Yan and Yao Lao imagined.
You Ruo, through the existence of the contract, was able to vaguely sense Xiao Fan's emotions, so she had nothing to worry about.
With his current strength as a five-star Dou Huang, Xiao Fan's Dou Qi is incredibly abundant. Coupled with the Three Thousand Thunderbolts, even You Ruo is somewhat unable to keep up with Xiao Fan's speed.
To save trouble, You Ruo transformed into a small, seven-colored snake again after a long absence, coiling around Xiao Fan's shoulder and letting Xiao Fan carry her flying.
Although the Three Thousand Thunderbolts technique cannot be used continuously, Xiao Fan would occasionally recover it before continuing his journey, and there were basically no delays along the way.
At first, some of the peak Douhuang level fighters, relying on their strength, complained after Xiao Fan flew over their heads and wanted to cause him trouble. However, by the time they came out, Xiao Fan was already far away, so there was no surprise at all.
