Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's astonished expression, Xiao Yao raised an eyebrow and nodded before continuing.
"Don't rush. Read everything written on it first."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian turned her gaze back to the scroll and continued reading.
The next moment, Xiao Yi Xian's excited face turned a little pale. Her body trembled slightly as she murmured, "How could this be..."
The scroll went on to record more about the Woeful Poison Body.
"...The Seven-Colored Hidden Line will grow as the concentration of poison power within the body increases."
"When the Seven-Colored Hidden Line spreads to the heart, the Woeful Poison Body will be at its strongest. At the same time, its possessor will suffer the agony of ten thousand poisons devouring the body."
"Moreover, the greater the Calamity Poison Power within a Woeful Poison Body possessor, the harder it is to control perfectly, and the more easily it erupts, bringing devastation to all living things."
"Every eruption of the Woeful Poison Body brings disaster, which is why it was given the name 'Woeful Poison Body.'"
The final passage about the Woeful Poison Body was the writer's own reflection.
"As far as I know, every possessor of the Woeful Poison Body eventually goes mad and becomes extreme under the torment of ten thousand poisons devouring the body."
"And every eruption of their poison body brings devastation to all living things, eventually drawing powerful experts to besiege and kill them. Not one of them has met a peaceful end."
After reading everything about the Woeful Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian felt cold all over, her scalp tingling as she stood rooted to the spot. Xiao Yao watched her quietly.
In the original story, Xiao Yi Xian had been able to accept the fact that she possessed the Woeful Poison Body.
There was naturally no need for Xiao Yao to spend much effort persuading her now.
Only after a long while did Xiao Yi Xian come back to her senses. She took several deep breaths before looking at Xiao Yao.
"I understand, Senior. I'll leave before the Woeful Poison Body becomes difficult to control. Before then, I'll use its power to repay you."
"After that, please allow me to leave, Senior. I want to find a deserted place and spend the rest of my life alone. I don't want to cause a tragedy that brings devastation to all living things."
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Yao was momentarily dazed. What a kind girl she was.
Her dream was to become an alchemist who treated illness and saved lives. Unfortunately, he lacked the qualifications to become an alchemist and could only become a physician.
But fate toyed with her. Even her wish to become a physician went unfulfilled.
The Woeful Poison Body lived up to its name. It brought calamity not only to others, but also to its possessor.
The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture even recorded a saying: "On the continent, people avoid possessors of the Woeful Poison Body more than they avoid snakes and scorpions."
As a result, the vast majority of Woeful Poison Body possessors were alone. No one wanted to stay near someone who might poison them to death at any moment.
In the original story, after Xiao Yi Xian left Qingshan Town, she went to the Chu Yun Empire. At first, she still hoped to restrain the Woeful Poison Body through her own efforts.
During that time, an elderly couple in a small mountain village took her in. They treated her as their own, and the villagers were also very kind to her.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last. The Woeful Poison Body erupted, and the elderly couple died from poisoning after touching Xiao Yi Xian's body.
Some of the villagers were also killed or injured because of her, and Xiao Yi Xian was driven out of the mountain village.
It was this experience that completely shattered Xiao Yi Xian's hopes and made her realize that she was a harbinger of misfortune who brought only ill luck and disaster.
She began to bury her kindness deep in her heart, and what she unleashed was the cold and ruthless Heavenly Poison Woman. In the end, she became the leader of the Poison Sect.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Xiao Yao's mind. Then he smiled and patted Xiao Yi Xian on the head.
"Don't worry. Although the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture says that possessors of the Woeful Poison Body rarely meet a peaceful end,"
"I still know of a few ways to control it, even to control it perfectly."
At Xiao Yao's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's previously downcast eyes.
She was just about to press him for details when Xiao Yao looked beyond the camp.
"We shouldn't stay here long. You've finished gathering the spoils, haven't you?"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Xiao Yao took her by the arm and led her away.
Not long after the two left, mercenaries began venturing into the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's camp.
Seeing corpses strewn everywhere, they could not help swallowing, their faces turning somewhat pale.
Even mercenaries accustomed to licking blood off the edge of a blade rarely saw such a brutal sight.
The mercenaries continued deeper into the camp and finally found Mu She's corpse at the training ground. There was a gaping hole in his chest, and he had died a miserable death.
Every mercenary present was shocked. A two-star Dou Shi had died just like that.
Leaving aside the turmoil and shock the Wolf Head Mercenary Group's destruction caused in Qingshan Town,
after Xiao Yao took Xiao Yi Xian away from the camp, he asked whether she wanted him to kill Mr. Yao of the Myriad Medicine Pavilion.
Xiao Yi Xian thought for a moment, but ultimately shook her head.
"There's no need. I was able to live so peacefully all these years thanks to the Myriad Medicine Pavilion's protection, after all. Let's spare his life."
Xiao Yao had no objection and brought Xiao Yi Xian to a mountain peak near Qingshan Town.
As soon as they landed, Xiao Yao saw the eager look in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes and could not help chuckling.
But he did not keep her in suspense and spoke directly.
"Although most possessors of the Woeful Poison Body meet unfortunate ends, there are exceptions."
"As far as I know, one possessor of the Woeful Poison Body created the Poison Pill Method. It can condense the Calamity Poison Qi in the body into a Poison Pill, eliminating the risk of the Woeful Poison Body erupting."
"Besides the Poison Pill Method, there are actually other ways to control the Woeful Poison Body, such as sealing it."
"A powerful sealing technique can seal even the Woeful Poison Body's poison Qi, allowing you to draw on it whenever needed."
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up as she listened. "So that's how it is. I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
Hearing that there was a solution, Xiao Yi Xian was filled with fighting spirit.
"Since that senior could create a way to control the Woeful Poison Body, why can't I, Xiao Yi Xian, do the same?"
Xiao Yao smiled at Xiao Yi Xian's bold declaration.
"That's good. I believe in you."
"Actually... my power should be able to help you control the Woeful Poison Body too."
Xiao Yao spoke thoughtfully.
Xiao Yi Xian gave him a surprised look.
From what the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture said, the Woeful Poison Body's innate gift was indeed powerful and difficult to control.
She had not expected her senior's power to be able to control the Woeful Poison Body. It truly took Xiao Yi Xian by surprise.
Xiao Yao, however, fell into thought.
In the original story, when Xiao Yan helped Xiao Yi Xian refine a Poison Pill, he had deliberately sought out a place of utmost Yang and purity like the Yang Fire Ancient Altar to suppress her Woeful Poison Body and improve the chances of successfully condensing the Poison Pill.
Xiao Yao himself directly wielded the power of the sun. Compared with a place like the Yang Fire Ancient Altar, which had formed indirectly through the sun's rays, its effect would surely be better!
