Taking Xiao Yi Xian Away
Without Xiao Ming asking, Xiao Yi Xian turned the colorful scroll over and said with a smile.
"This is a book on Poison Scripture how to prepare poisons."
It's clear that Xiao Yi Xian is genuinely interested in medicine; she wasn't this excited even during the Flying Dou Technique and the Profound Tier High-Grade Dou Technique.
Xiao Ming took the Seven-Colored Poison Classic from Xiao Yi Xian, flipped through it casually, and then handed it back to Xiao Yi Xian.
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian engrossed in reading the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, Xiao Ming suddenly asked, "Now that you've obtained so many treasures, what are your plans for the future?"
"Plans?" Xiao Yi Xian was taken aback upon hearing this; she hadn't really considered it.
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's expression, Xiao Ming asked, "Do you really intend to stay in this small place like Qingshan Town forever?"
"Isn't it possible?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, somewhat puzzled. Her strength was not great, and even with so many treasures, it would be difficult for her to make a name for herself elsewhere. If she accidentally exposed her wealth, she might even bring about her own death. Therefore, it was better for her to stay in Qingshan Town, which she had managed for many years.
"Well, it's not impossible. However, I don't think you'd be able to stay in Qingshan Town for long."
"Why?"
Xiao Ming did not give a specific answer, but instead said something that seemed completely unrelated.
"You should have a thin, rainbow-colored line on your lower abdomen, right?"
"How did you know?" Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face changed upon hearing this. How did he know what was in her lower abdomen, such a hidden area? 69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼
Xiao Yi Xian remembered Xiao Ming's actions outside her room earlier and immediately assumed that Xiao Ming had spied on her, her face turning red with anger.
Seeing her expression, Xiao Ming knew she had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "I didn't peek at you. I'm a Grade Six Alchemist, so it's reasonable for me to have some special methods."
Startled by Xiao Ming's claim of being Grade Six Alchemist, Xiao Yi Xian quickly recovered and asked incredulously, "Even if you are Grade Six Alchemist, how could Alchemist's methods penetrate clothing to detect what's on the surface of someone's body?"
"Of course not, but that's because your constitution is special—you have the Woeful Poison Body."
"The Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian frowned as she uttered the name.
"What kind of constitution is this?"
"Want to know? Turn to the last volume of the scripture in your hand, and you'll understand."
Xiao Yi Xian did as instructed and turned to the last volume to read.
After a while, Xiao Yi Xian's face turned extremely pale.
"The Woeful Poison Body, also known as the Innate Poison Body, is an extremely peculiar constitution. People with this constitution can continuously grow stronger by consuming poison. The stronger the poison, the faster their strength increases, and there is virtually no upper limit. However, the more poison they consume, the more concentrated the toxins become in their bodies. When the toxins accumulate to a certain point, they will completely erupt. At the moment of eruption, all life within a thousand miles will be destroyed."
"The way to identify the Woeful Poison Body is that a thin, Seven-Colored Hidden Line grows on the lower abdomen. This seven-colored line will grow according to the concentration of Poison Power contained in the body. When the seven-colored line extends to the heart, it is the strongest moment of the Woeful Poison Body, and also the time when the Woeful Poison Body erupts."
As he spoke, Xiao Ming sighed.
"After reading the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, you should know that what I said is not false."
"How could this be..." Xiao Yi Xian murmured, somewhat lost and disoriented.
Her greatest ambition was to become an Alchemist, but due to incompatibility with her Dou Qi Attribute, she settled for becoming a physician. However, reality has now revealed that she has the talent to become Poison Master —is this some kind of joke?
Suddenly, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to remember something, a glint of light appearing in her eyes. She asked, "Is it true that as long as I don't take poison, this Woeful Poison Body won't activate?"
"Theoretically, that's true, but can you actually do it? Medicine and poison are inseparable. Many medicinal herbs have both medicinal and toxic properties. Unless you never touch medicinal herbs again, even a tiny bit of accidental ingestion will activate your Poison Body. Once your Poison Body is activated, the more potent the poison, the greater its allure, comparable to the attraction of a Heavenly Flames to Alchemist."
As Xiao Ming explained, the Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, which had regained a glimmer of light, dimmed again. Indeed, as the young man before her said, the activation of the Woeful Poison Body was extremely difficult to avoid.
Thinking of the tragedies caused by the outbreak of those calamities due to the Woeful Poison Body recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, Xiao Yi Xian smiled bitterly.
"You ask me about my future plans, are you trying to kill me to prevent me from causing harm to the world?"
"That's not it," Xiao Ming sighed. "I like you very much, I just wanted to ask if you want to come with me."
Hearing this, Zi Yan, who was standing next to her, widened her eyes.
A rosy hue appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face.
Before the two could speak, Xiao Ming continued.
"Your Woeful Poison Body has virtually no upper limit to your strength. The more poison you consume, the faster your strength will increase. You are a very promising talent."
"This..." Realizing she had misunderstood Xiao Yi Xian, she smiled awkwardly and then said, "But aren't you afraid my Poison Body will flare up?"
"Although every generation of Poison Body will die from the outbreak of the Woeful Poison Body, I know two solutions for this constitution."
Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian's expression turned to surprise, followed by delight.
What method?
"One method is the Poison Fire Method, and the other is the Poison Pill Method."
Upon hearing that there were two methods, Xiao Yi Xian's face lit up with even greater joy, and she quickly asked, "What's the difference between these two methods?"
"The Poison Fire Method requires the Nether Poison Flame, ranked twenty-first on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This Nether Poison Flame is formed from Millennium Poison Miasma and contains potent toxins; ordinary people will die upon contact. However, it is a great tonic for those with Woeful Poison Body.' The two can even complement each other, potentially allowing you to grow even faster."
"Wouldn't that just hasten their death?" Zi Yan muttered upon hearing this.
"Hehe, every kind of Heavenly Flames has a special function. The special function of the Nether Poison Flame is that it can control all poisons. Only with this Heavenly Flames can one hope to completely control the Poison Body, allowing the owner of the Woeful Poison Body to control the Poison Power in the body at will without worrying about an outbreak."
Because of the unique properties of the Nether Poison Flame, almost no one has ever subdued it, so virtually no one on the Dou Qi Continent knows about Heavenly Flames characteristics. Xiao Ming only learned about it through Simulator.
"The second method, the Poison Pill Method, involves condensing all the accumulated toxins in the body and finally transforming them into a Poison Pill. Once the Poison Pill is formed, the Woeful Poison Body will become a truly terrifying physique, unrestrained. To refine the Poison Pill, three things are needed: first, three different kinds of Heavenly Flames; second, the Magic Core of a Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast; and third, Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."
Not wanting Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian to keep asking questions, Xiao Ming directly explained the two methods.
After hearing Xiao Ming's two methods, Xiao Yi Xian didn't know what to say.
The conditions required for both methods seem impossible for her to meet, especially the second method. Because she really wanted to become Alchemist, she had done her homework before and knew how precious Heavenly Flames was. Three kinds of Heavenly Flames? Are you kidding me? She could never find them in this lifetime!
"Don't worry, since I've decided to take you in, I can naturally handle these things."
"I know where to find Nether Poison Flame, and I already possess two of these Heavenly Flames. If nothing unexpected happens, I will soon possess a third kind of Heavenly Flames. I also possess the Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."
"Whichever method you choose, it can resolve the aftermath of your Woeful Poison Body eruption. You can still become a physician then, since becoming a physician doesn't require any Dou Qi Attribute. Moreover, medicine and poison are inseparable. Perhaps you can become a physician even more skilled than many Alchemists."
As he spoke, to enhance his persuasiveness, Xiao Ming released two of his Heavenly Flames, which floated in the air.
Looking at the two terrifying flames beside Xiao Ming, Xiao Yi Xian felt as if her life had gone through many ups and downs. Hearing what Xiao Ming said, it seemed as if her Woeful Poison Body could be resolved tomorrow.
"... I promise you."
Xiao Yi Xian didn't hesitate for long before responding.
Although she didn't want to leave Qingshan Town, she had no way to deal with the Woeful Poison Body, so she could only accept Xiao Ming's suggestion.
