Eating poison to cultivate, immune to all poisons, body filled with poisonous qi.

The cultivation method of the Woeful Poison Body differed from that of ordinary people. They did not need to cultivate Dou Qi for years. To grow stronger, they only needed to consume poison. Their Woeful Poison Bodies would then use a strange method to transform the toxic power contained within the poison into an extremely special kind of Poison Dou Qi.

The more potent the poison, the more beneficial it was to improving their strength.

But poison was poison after all. Although they could rely on the Woeful Poison Body to stop the toxic power from devouring their bodies, once they consumed more and more poison in the future—so much that even the Woeful Poison Body could no longer suppress the Poison Dou Qi within them—they would slowly die amid the agony of countless poisons devouring their bodies.

This physique, which could unconsciously kill others, had turned the kind-hearted Xiao Yi Xian into the Heaven Poison Woman, hated and shunned by all! Xiao Yi Xian sized up the man before her, and a faint blush involuntarily rose to her cheeks. She had thought Xiao Yan was already quite handsome, but compared to the Pavilion Master, the difference was like heaven and earth.

Li Xiao smiled gently. "Your name is Xiao Yi Xian. Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, you possess the Woeful Poison Body, don't you?"

At those words, Xiao Yi Xian's body visibly trembled. How had he discovered her physique? If she did not say anything, no one should have known...

Who exactly was this man?

"Don't be nervous. This Lord bears you no ill will. If you are interested, you may stay at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion and cultivate."

"Ah?" Xiao Yi Xian froze, somewhat unable to understand what this senior meant. Could he be planning to treat her as a test subject and study her Woeful Poison Body? Linglong saw what Xiao Yi Xian was thinking and reminded her from the side, "Xiao Yi Xian, can't you tell that the Pavilion Master intends to take you as his disciple?"

Upon hearing the words "take you as his disciple," Xiao Yi Xian's expression turned solemn. It was not that she looked down on Li Xiao, but because of her bloodline. If the Woeful Poison Body erupted, everyone present would likely be implicated.

Xiao Yi Xian had a gentle nature and loved healing the sick and saving the dying. What she hated most was seeing anyone lose their life because of her.

Li Xiao smiled faintly. As expected of the kindest girl on the Dou Qi Continent. Although he was merely a Six Star Dou Zhe, with the system, breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm was only a matter of time. He would not be leading her astray.

Besides, he could provide Xiao Yi Xian with poison pills that suppressed the Woeful Poison Body, or even cure her completely.

How could he possibly pass up a future Dou Di Realm expert?

Xiao Yi Xian bit her lower lip and looked into Li Xiao's sincere eyes. After finishing her inner struggle, she heavily kowtowed three times. "This disciple, Xiao Yi Xian, pays respects to Teacher!"

"Mm." Li Xiao waved his right hand, and a fifth-grade medicinal pill landed steadily in Xiao Yi Xian's hand. "This is a fifth-grade pill filled with deadly poison. Given your physical condition, you can only digest pills of this quality. Anything higher, and you may very well explode and die."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Xiao Yi Xian looked at the fifth-grade poison pill in her hand, and her eyes unconsciously grew moist. She had thought she would never meet anyone who sincerely treated her well in this lifetime. Now that she had met her teacher, her heart felt warm.

Li Xiao nodded slightly. Xiao Yi Xian possessed enormous potential. With proper nurturing in the future, she would surely become a powerhouse capable of ruling over a region.

"From now on, cultivate together with Linglong."

Li Xiao rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's head. The cultivation speed within the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was several times greater than outside. Cultivating here would naturally yield twice the results with half the effort.

When she met Xiao Yan again in the future, Xiao Yi Xian would likely have already surpassed that genius youth by far.

"Teacher, Mister Yao from the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall has already set his sights on me... I came out this time to gather medicinal herbs. If I don't return for too long, he may send people to hunt me down..."

"Oh?" Li Xiao raised a brow and said disdainfully, "It is merely the Ten Thousand Medicines Hall. There is nothing to fear. If they wish to court death, I do not mind destroying them."

Xiao Yi Xian was deeply moved. Was this the sense of security family gave her?

Just what realm was her teacher in?

Could he be a legendary Dou Huang expert?

At a camp somewhere within the Beast Mountain Range.

The leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group glared viciously at He Meng's remains, which could no longer be pieced together. His eyes were filled with fury.

"Who did this? How dare they attack my Wolf Head Mercenary Group!" Mu She asked with a savage expression. Although He Meng did not look particularly intelligent, he was an Eight Star Dou Zhe. This was unquestionably an enormous loss for them.

A mercenary below him trembled as he said, "Reporting to the commander... according to our investigation, the Third Commander had been pursuing Xiao Yan. On the way, he passed Sunset Valley and intended to investigate it, but he never came out again..."

"What did you say?!" Mu She's eyes widened. "Sunset Valley? What audacity! Whoever killed He Meng must repay the debt in blood!"

"Gan Mu, take some men and go have a look. If you find anyone suspicious, kill them immediately. He Meng cannot have died in vain."

The wretched-looking man standing beside Mu She nodded heavily. He was Gan Mu, the Second Commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group!

He was a Nine Star Dou Zhe, born crafty and naturally sleazy, no less so than the Third Commander, He Meng.

Now that the Third Commander had been killed, how could he possibly sit by and do nothing? No matter what, he had to make the other party pay a painful price today. Otherwise, if word got out, people would think the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was easy to bully.

Xiao Yan could be left to the others for now. Revenge was the highest priority!

That night, Gan Mu led a group of Dou Zhes to the outskirts of Sunset Valley with great force. In order not to alert the enemy, everyone decided to dismount and sneak closer on foot.

Yet just as they stepped half a pace into the area, the leading Dou Zhe suddenly flew backward uncontrollably. He ultimately exploded in midair, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

Gan Mu was shocked. What had just happened? The others wore particularly ugly expressions as well. They did not even know how their brother had died. Could this place be haunted?

"Don't panic. Someone is causing trouble! I'd like to see which unlucky bastard dares attack us!" Gan Mu shouted with furrowed brows, drawing a golden rod from behind his back before sending more people in to take a look.

"How could you possibly enter the vicinity of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion?"

With a flash of light, Niu Meng, with Qi Transformation Wings, abruptly appeared before everyone.

Gan Mu was horrified, and his breathing quickened. "Dou... Dou Wang! You're actually a Dou Wang expert!"

He had never dreamed that the man before him would be a Dou Wang. He himself was only a Dou Zhe, with Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, and Dou Ling above him. Every realm was separated by a difference as vast as heaven and earth, let alone three entire realms. Was this not simply smashing an egg against a rock?
