Seven Coloured Poison Scripture

Little Fairy Doctor's expression shifted slightly. Her brows fluttered as she said, "What's so interesting about it? Let me have a look, will you?"

I chuckled to myself. Keep pretending. You're obviously so excited you could flip over, yet you're putting on such a calm, indifferent face... Still, she looks so lovely like this.

I handed the Seven Coloured Poison Scripture over. Little Fairy Doctor took it, drew a deep breath, abruptly opened the Scroll, and lowered her head to read.

The moment Little Fairy Doctor began reading, she became engrossed, utterly immersed in the Seven Coloured Poison Scripture. Her expression kept changing; one moment, her delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she pondered deeply, and the next, the corners of her lips curled up into an adorable smile...

For a time, I found myself staring blankly. Little Fairy Doctor was immersed in the Seven Coloured Poison Scripture, while I was immersed in Little Fairy Doctor.

Only after a long while did I come back to my senses. I took a deep breath, and just as Little Fairy Doctor's brows lifted slightly, as though she had found a clue to something she did not understand, I suddenly snatched the Scroll from her hands!

"Who?!"

Little Fairy Doctor cried out and jerked her head up. At some point, a white porcelain bottle had appeared in her right hand.

Little Fairy Doctor's cry startled me. I rubbed my ears and said irritably, "Who else could it be in this room besides me?"

Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face reddened. She quietly put away the white porcelain bottle, brushed the hair from her forehead with her jade-like hand, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I scared you just now. I'm a pharmacist, and I was too absorbed in that Scroll. Um, could you lend that Scroll to me again?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm afraid not. I intend to place this Poison Manual in my family's Scripture Pavilion as a secret inheritance of the Nalan Family. If I let you read it, wouldn't that mean it had been leaked?"

"I..."

Little Fairy Doctor became somewhat anxious. "I guarantee that I'll be the only one studying it. It absolutely won't be passed on in the future."

I showed a hesitant expression and said with some difficulty, "Little Fairy Doctor, you're a pharmacist. Why are you so interested in a Poison Master's inheritance?"

Little Fairy Doctor froze. After a pause, she said somewhat flusteredly, "I... Pharmacists detoxify and save people. If I don't study some Poison Master inheritances, how am I supposed to save people when I encounter patients who have been poisoned?"

"I see. Little Fairy Doctor, you really are kind-hearted. No wonder you're so popular in Green Mountain Town."

I smiled, but then a troubled look appeared on my face again. "Little Fairy Doctor, you should know that the Nalan Family is one of the Three Great Families of the Gamma Empire, and our family rules are strict."

"The inherited scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion truly cannot be viewed by outsiders. If you insist on reading this Poison Manual, I'm afraid you can only become a retainer of the Nalan Family."

"A retainer?"

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and said, "Hasn't this Scroll yet to be placed in your family's Scripture Pavilion? It only counts as your personal property right now. How about I buy it from you, or you let me copy a version? That should work, right?"

I again put on a troubled expression and said, "Little Fairy Doctor, you don't understand. My family has a rule: anyone who finds new combat skills, cultivation methods, Pill Recipes, scriptures, or similar things and presents them to the family will not only receive a reward, but their standing within the family will also greatly rise."

"I don't lack rewards or money, but improving my family status is very important to me. If I let you read it, the value of this Poison Manual will greatly decrease..."

Little Fairy Doctor's delicate brows knitted tightly as her gaze swept up and down my body. A chill ran through me. Thinking of her subtle methods of poisoning people, I could not help feeling afraid.

Little Fairy Doctor isn't planning to kill me for treasure, is she? Or has she already poisoned me and is merely waiting for the poison to take effect and kill me? No way. I remember Little Fairy Doctor always being a kind and upright girl...

"Do I really have to become a retainer?"

Little Fairy Doctor finally spoke, and I also let out a sigh of relief. I knew it. Little Fairy Doctor was indeed kind-hearted. How could something like killing for treasure possibly happen to her?

Hahaha...

I nodded and said, "Little Fairy Doctor, you don't need to take it too seriously. This is just a formality, so I won't be put in a difficult position. Once I present the Poison Manual, you can leave the Nalan Family after ten days or half a month."

Under the temptation of the Poison Manual, Little Fairy Doctor finally nodded in agreement!

I watched Little Fairy Doctor's departing figure with a smile on my face. Hehe, next, Little Fairy Doctor would have to return to the Nalan Family with me...

I collected myself and took out the other three treasures.

One Scroll contained the flying combat skill Purple Cloud Wings. After cultivating it, one could grow a pair of Dou Qi wings and learn to fly in advance. However, it could only be cultivated by one person, and I was not even a Dou Zhe yet, so I could not cultivate it. I could only put it back into my Ring of Holding.

One fragment of a map was related to the Exotic Flame, Purifying Lotus Demon Fire. Unfortunately, I did not have the Flame Mantra and could not devour an Exotic Flame. It seemed I could only keep it as a gift for Xiao Yan.

As for the final Scroll, my brows rose slightly, and I could not help examining it closely. To my surprise, it was actually a Pill Recipe!

According to the Pill Recipe, it could produce a First-Rank Pill called the Small Supplement Pill, whose effect was to aid a Dou Zhe's cultivation!

Excitement surged through my heart. Didn't that mean that as long as I could refine this Small Supplement Pill, I could quickly advance from a Dou Zhe to a Dou Master? Furthermore, according to the Pill Recipe, this pill had no side effects and would not cause an unstable foundation.

I... I... Was I finally going to get a cheat too?
