The Calamity Poison Body Awakens

Before long, Xiao Se and Little Fairy Doctor rode the Blue Eagle to the skies above the valley from the original story.

Looking down at the thousand-zhang-deep valley floor shrouded in clouds, Little Fairy Doctor could not help but gasp. "Isn't this the area where the Ten Thousand Medicines Pavilion usually gathers herbs?"

Xiao Se nodded lightly and smiled. "At the very bottom is a natural gorge formed by a basin. Since it is sealed off on all sides with no passage in, and clouds and mist conceal it from above, few people know of it."

"Mhm." Little Fairy Doctor gently lifted her beautiful, fair chin and guided the Blue Eagle down toward the valley floor.

The Blue Eagle slowly descended. The instant they passed through the dense mist, Xiao Se and Little Fairy Doctor discovered that the natural energy within the valley was clearly far richer than outside.

Upon landing, Little Fairy Doctor found that it was indeed as Xiao Se had said. All kinds of precious medicinal herbs grew throughout the valley, and waves of medicinal fragrance mixed with dense energy washed over her. Just one breath left her feeling completely refreshed.

"Well? Not bad, right? This place," Xiao Se said with a faint smile as he watched Little Fairy Doctor's rather delighted expression.

"It truly is wonderful. Xiao Se, I never expected you to discover such a treasure trove." Turning her head, Little Fairy Doctor looked at him with a smiling face.

"As long as you're satisfied. Next, barring any surprises, I'll stay here until I break through to Dou Master. There are plenty of herbs here, so you can study the Seven-Colored Poison Classic. But remember to leave the roots when gathering herbs. I prepared a spiritual liquid that promotes the growth of medicinal herbs, so they'll grow back quickly." Xiao Se smiled at Little Fairy Doctor's lovely face. Though he was stating it plainly, his tone carried the intent of discussing it with her.

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor nodded lightly and agreed without the slightest hesitation. With such a treasure trove before her, it was exactly what she had hoped for.

As if possessed, a thought surfaced in Little Fairy Doctor's heart: Perhaps living here with him forever wouldn't be so bad.

Seeing her agree, Xiao Se smiled and took a single-person tent from his Ring. As he set it up, he said, "It's already getting late. Make do with this tent tonight. Tomorrow, I'll build two wooden cabins."

"Mhm. Then what about you?" Watching Xiao Se skillfully pitch the tent, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face showed a gentle smile.

"Me?" Xiao Se froze slightly before a mischievous grin appeared at the corner of his lips. He tilted his head toward Little Fairy Doctor and smirked. "There's only one tent here, so of course we'll sleep together."

"Go die." Little Fairy Doctor's smile instantly froze. She pulled out a packet of completely harmless Medicinal Powder from her clothes and scattered it at Xiao Se...

The sky gradually darkened. After dinner, the two chatted freely about each other's experiences. Amid Xiao Se's teasing, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face turned crimson as she hurried into the tent.

By the distant campfire, Xiao Se had just gathered another batch of herbs needed for alchemy. After watering them with diluted green liquid from the Palm Heaven Bottle, he sat cross-legged on a cold stone slab and circulated the Burning Art and Returning Origin Soul Art, drawing in the natural energy. The energy of this place was exceptionally dense, increasing Xiao Se's cultivation speed severalfold.

An hour later, when he noticed that his Meridians felt somewhat swollen, Xiao Se withdrew from cultivation and sighed inwardly. Sigh, the cultivation method's grade is still too low. Even with such dense natural energy, it'll take at least several months to break through to Dou Master. Let's see what I can exchange for at the end of this month. Otherwise, I'll have to find a way to obtain the Amethyst Accompanying Source first. I wonder if Hong Kui can hold off that lioness.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Long Kui's graceful figure slowly drifted out from the Demon Sword before landing beside Xiao Se. Her jade-like hand wrapped around his arm as she smiled.

Hearing her, Xiao Se gently caressed Long Kui's beautiful face and smiled. "Nothing. I was just thinking about how to raise my strength as quickly as possible. By the way, what do you think of Little Fairy Doctor?"

Long Kui looked at Xiao Se with a mischievous expression and said sweetly, "Brother, don't tell me you want Little Fairy Doctor to become my sister-in-law? Normally, I would definitely object, since I don't know her. But after spending today with her, unexpectedly, I think she's a pretty good girl."

Xiao Se's face reddened. The hand caressing Long Kui's cheek shifted, lightly pinching her cheek as he pretended to be angry. "Well now, you actually dare tease your brother?"

"Hehe..." As Xiao Se kneaded her cheek, the smile on Long Kui's pretty face became even gentler. Her voice was slightly muffled as she said, "Brother treats Little Fairy Doctor differently, after all."

The siblings playfully bickered in low voices for a while. In the end, Xiao Se pulled Long Kui into his arms and spoke words from the bottom of his heart that warmed her deeply. "If one day your brother decides to marry, then the first person I marry will definitely be you."

Hearing Xiao Se's sudden confession, Long Kui, nestled in his embrace, nodded with a crimson face before turning into a streak of blue light and darting back into the Demon Sword.

Watching Long Kui flee in embarrassment because of her shyness, Xiao Se smiled and shook his head. He took out the Medicine Cauldron from his Ring and began refining medicine, restoring his Dou Qi, refining medicine, restoring his Dou Qi... repeating this cycle of cultivation over and over.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, the sunlight was bright and beautiful.

Warm sunlight filtered through the mist above the valley and fell upon Xiao Se's fair face. Xiao Se lazily stretched. Seeing that Little Fairy Doctor had yet to wake up, he simply began constructing the wooden cabins.

Felling trees, trimming timber, laying foundations, and building—it all flowed in one smooth sequence. With his sharp soul perception, the Demon Sword's sharpness, and his superb swordsmanship, Xiao Se effortlessly shaped the wood into the forms he needed.

Before long, a small wooden house with two bedrooms and a living room was complete. Xiao Se then made two beds and a set of table and chairs, placing them in the rooms and living room respectively. A luxurious single-story villa was thus finished.

Outside the wooden house, Xiao Se gave the newly built home a satisfied look, a pleased smile appearing on his face. He turned and walked toward the tent, only to realize that it was nearly noon, yet Little Fairy Doctor still showed no sign of waking.

A trace of unease immediately rose in Xiao Se's heart. He carefully lifted the tent flap, only to discover that poisonous smoke filled the tent. His hand shot forward, and under the urging of Dou Qi, a powerful gust of wind surged forth, driving the poisonous mist out of the tent.

As the poisonous mist dispersed, Little Fairy Doctor's figure was revealed within the tent. Her delicate body was curled up slightly, her beautiful eyes tightly shut, and her originally fair, tender face now glimmered with seven-colored light.

"So the Calamity Poison Body has finally awakened..." Xiao Se shook his head in amazement. He slowly retreated several meters, sat cross-legged on the cold stone slab, and waited quietly.

"Brother, is this the Calamity Poison Body you mentioned?" Long Kui's curious voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Mhm." Xiao Se nodded, his mood rather heavy. He raised his head to gaze at the sky and murmured inwardly, Perhaps I can help her solve it.
