Seven-Colored Poison Scripture! Purple Cloud Wings!

The cave was silent, its darkness carrying a faint chill.

Xiao Yi Xian rubbed her arms, feeling the cold seep into her bones.

Looking at Xiao Ze's sturdy figure ahead of her, Xiao Yi Xian unconsciously quickened her pace and moved a little closer to him.

The crude torch provided little light, barely enough to make out their surroundings.

Xiao Yi Xian stared at Xiao Ze, her thoughts drifting.

What did he look like beneath that mask...

Just as Xiao Yi Xian became lost in her imagination, Xiao Ze suddenly stopped.

Xiao Yi Xian failed to stop in time and crashed into Xiao Ze's back again!

Their bodies fit together almost perfectly.

Feeling the unusual contact, Xiao Ze did not move rashly.

Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly backed away from behind him.

That collision had been so forceful that her peaks had practically been flattened into hills!

Xiao Ze definitely felt it!

Xiao Yi Xian felt a little embarrassed.

But after their intimate embrace while descending the cliff earlier, Xiao Yi Xian recovered much faster this time.

"Xiao Ze, what happened? Why did you suddenly stop?"

"Ahem, we've reached the end of the cave. Do you have something on your mind? You were so absorbed that you didn't even hear me warn you."

Xiao Ze coughed and explained.

Although his voice had been a little quiet, in this silent cave, anyone who was not too distracted should have been able to hear him clearly.

"Mhm... I was a little distracted just now."

Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face flushed slightly. Seeing that Xiao Ze did not mention the awkward incident from before, she went along with him.

She turned her gaze toward the end of the passage.

There stood a stone door emitting a pale yellow glow.

"It really does seem like a fortuitous encounter!"

Xiao Yi Xian quickly walked up to the stone door.

A man-made stone door like this was likely the cave dwelling left behind by some senior.

Xiao Ze followed her to the stone door.

He remembered that this was a mechanism door, and its switch seemed to be hidden nearby.

His Soul Perception spread outward, quickly finding the switch!

While Xiao Yi Xian was frowning and trying to figure out how to open the stone door—

Xiao Ze had already kicked a protruding spot. With a creak, the stone door slowly rose.

"...This! Xiao Ze, you're amazing! You found a way to open the mechanism door so quickly!"

Watching the stone door slowly open, Xiao Yi Xian turned toward Xiao Ze in surprise.

The firelight reflected in her widened eyes, making her look especially adorable. Her eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Haha, my perception is just a little sharper, that's all."

"You don't have to be so modest. I feel like there's nothing you can't do, Xiao Ze."

Xiao Yi Xian spoke with a serious expression, counting on her fingers as though reciting treasured memories.

"My constitution, what happened in Qing Shan Town, this stone door before us... It seems that no matter what happens, you can always solve it with ease!"

"Alright, if you keep praising me like that, I'll become arrogant. Let's go. The stone door is open now, so let's see what good things the senior left behind."

The two entered the stone chamber, where large piles of gold and silver had been casually heaped to one side.

"It seems this senior did not care much for money."

Xiao Yi Xian said thoughtfully.

"Maybe there are things even more valuable here?"

Xiao Ze surveyed the stone chamber.

At the center was a table and chair. A skeleton sat in the chair, while three boxes rested on the table.

Besides gold and silver, there was also a flower bed on the ground, filled with rare medicinal herbs!

"Wow! Purple Blue Leaf, White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, Snow Lotus Seed... So many high-grade medicinal herbs, and this is... Ice Spirit Flame Grass, something incredibly difficult to find in the outside world!"

Xiao Yi Xian ran over excitedly, muttering under her breath as she accurately named every high-grade medicinal herb.

"Just as you said, Xiao Ze, compared to that gold and silver, these high-grade medicinal herbs are the true treasures!"

"Haha, hurry and gather the herbs. I'll go take a look elsewhere."

"Alright!" Xiao Yi Xian obediently nodded and took out a jade shovel.

She carefully dug up the medicinal herbs from the flower bed and meticulously stored them away.

On the other side, Xiao Ze took three keys from the skeleton's hand.

He also found a fragment of the map to the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

But it was still far too early to think about the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yi Xian finally walked over with an excited expression and nodded at Xiao Ze.

"Come on, let's open the treasure boxes!"

Xiao Ze opened the three boxes on the stone table one by one.

They contained the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, the Profound Tier High-Grade Flying Dou Technique Purple Cloud Wings, and the Profound Tier High-Grade Dou Technique Mad Lion's Roar.

"Xiao Yi Xian, you can take this Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. I already told you before that I don't want to concoct poisons."

"Alright. I don't want the other two Dou Techniques. They don't seem compatible with my attribute."

Xiao Yi Xian happily accepted the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture and began reading it on the spot.

Xiao Ze, meanwhile, browsed through Purple Cloud Wings and Mad Lion's Roar. There was no danger now, so they could stay in the stone chamber a little longer.

They could even remain in the cave until they returned to Wu Tan City.

This place was hidden and safe. Ordinary people would never find it, and they only needed to watch out for Flying Magical Beasts.

The two each found an area to begin cultivating. Xiao Ze unfurled the black scroll, revealing a pair of lifelike wings!

As his breath brushed over them, the feathers on the wings gently swayed.

Cultivating Purple Cloud Wings was no simple matter. Within it resided the soul of a Fifth Tier Magical Beast—the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle!

Though it was merely an unconscious beast-like remnant, it still could not be underestimated.

Legend had it that it possessed a thin bloodline of the Ancient Phoenix, and its flying speed ranked among the best.

In the original story, Xiao Yan's soul had been strong enough to withstand the impact of the lingering soul.

With Old Ya's help, he held fast to his true self and avoided becoming a beast that knew only slaughter.

Xiao Ze had great confidence in the strength of his own soul. It was definitely far beyond those of the same rank!

Moreover, when he advanced to Dou Master earlier, the system's feedback had further strengthened his soul!

Dealing with an unconscious Soul Impact now should be fairly easy.

After carefully studying the scroll, Xiao Ze called over Xiao Yi Xian, who was studying the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture.

"Xiao Ze, is something wrong? I found records of the Calamity Poison Body in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture! It's almost exactly what you told me..."

Xiao Yi Xian walked over with the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture in hand, but halfway through, she suddenly realized she seemed to have said something wrong.

"Xiao Ze, I wasn't doubting what you said..."

"Alright. The Calamity Poison Body may be uncommon, but there are records of it. I called you over to guard me while I cultivate this Flying Dou Skill."

"Alright!"

Xiao Yi Xian put away the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture and stood guard seriously at the side.

Xiao Ze touched the wings on the scroll with his fingertip, and a Soul Impact surged from them.

Just as Xiao Ze was preparing for a prolonged battle, he discovered that this Soul Impact... was not much after all!

When he had received the Hundredfold Feedback from the Calamity Poison Body before, he had experienced the agony of destruction hundreds and thousands of times in an instant!

His resistance to this type of attack had greatly increased!

Now, facing the impact of that violent soul felt like a gentle breeze brushing his face.

After it continued for a while, the violent Soul Impact finally receded like the tide.

Xiao Ze did not hesitate and continued cultivating.

He had barely expended any energy enduring that impact.

He had to finish cultivating it in one go!

Watery blue Dou Qi covered the wings on the scroll.

The wings bloomed with purple and black light, which grew increasingly intense.

At last, it shot into Xiao Ze's body through his palm like lightning.

It began opening two tiny secondary meridians within his body!

Intense pain surged over him once more like seawater...
