Seeing Xiao Yi Xian Again
"The air is filled with a cool, poisonous gas. This Chuyun Empire is truly poisonous."
Xiao Yuan took a breath of the slightly poisonous air and immediately frowned.
"Fortunately, you have Heavenly Flames, so you don't need Poison Pill."
Inside the ring, the Yao Lao laughed.
"Yes, Heavenly Flames can indeed save a lot of trouble."
Xiao Yuan nodded, then glanced around, but before he could do anything, a spatial fluctuation behind him startled him.
"Xiao Yuan, why did you run away from me secretly? Did you not want to make pills for me anymore?!"
Zi Yan's voice brought a look of helplessness to Xiao Yuan's face.
Unexpectedly, this little girl still managed to catch up with me!
"I'm exhausted! I've been traversing space to chase after you these past few days. Why are you running so fast?!"
Zi Yan disregarded her image and plopped down on the ground, her petite chest heaving as she popped pills into her mouth and spoke.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan sighed, "I might encounter some dangerous battles this time I come out. You little girl, although your strength is not bad, it is still too much for you to deal with Dou Emperor Dou Zong. I remember the pills I left for you should be enough for two months, right?"
"Who knows when you'll be back? Lin Xiuya and the others went to the Jia Ma Empire to travel around. I heard their first stop was Wutan City. They said they wanted to see what kind of place it was that could nurture such talented geniuses as you and Xiao Yan. I was originally going to go with them, but Sister Ya Fei said you had to go to the Chuyun Empire. I thought it would be more exciting to go with you than with them, so I came along!"
Zi Yan pouted, then said,
"By the way, I used up a lot of energy traveling, so I ate all those pills. You'll have to refine some more for me!"
Xiao Yuan blinked upon hearing this and nodded helplessly. "Alright, you've really had a hard time, arriving at the Chuyun Empire right after me. Let me make it clear first, follow my orders and don't act impulsively."
Xiao Yuan thought for a moment, then quickly added his instructions.
"I'll definitely follow your instructions and I won't run around. I'm sleepy, I'll take a nap first."
Zi Yan nodded obediently, then immediately fell headfirst into Xiao Yuan.
"Eh?"
Xiao Yuan quickly caught Zi Yan, preventing her from sliding to the ground, and at the same time, his soul power surged out, sweeping over Zi Yan's body.
"Sleeping so soundly?"
Xiao Yuan frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
"Teacher?"
Xiao Yuan called out in his heart.
"Yes, she probably expended too much energy and ingested too much energy, causing her body to be unable to cope, so she fell into a deep sleep. I estimate it won't be for a short time."
The Yao Lao was extremely experienced and immediately saw the crux of the problem.
"Oh, so... I have to bring along a child who's always sleeping while I'm doing this?"
Xiao Yuan's eyes twitched slightly, and he said somewhat speechlessly.
"Or you could leave her here."
"Yao Lao said jokingly."
"Teacher, you know I can't do that."
Xiao Yuan sighed, then bent down slightly, put one arm around Zi Yan's legs and the other around Zi Yan shoulder, and lifted her up in his arms.
"Oh, what a tragedy!"
Xiao Yuan shook his head, flapped his wings, and flew towards the center of the Chuyun Empire.
According to Ya Fei's intelligence, the Poison Sect is a force that has only recently gained prominence in the Chuyun Empire, but its methods are exceptionally ruthless, even cruel.
The headquarters of the Poison Sect is located in the center of the Chuyun Empire, where there is a city called Heavenly Poison City. This city is completely controlled by the Poison Sect, and it can even be said that this city is the territory ruled by the Poison Sect. Here, even members of the Chuyun Empire's Imperial Family do not have any special privileges.
It is said that the Poison Sect leader recently wiped out some remnants of the Chuyun Empire's Imperial Family who had voiced opposition to the Poison Sect's rule. Now, the Poison Sect's territory is equivalent to a quarter of the Chuyun Empire's land area.
Holding Zi Yan, Xiao Yuan's flying speed slowed down considerably, and the aura he revealed was that of an ordinary Dou Wang expert. In the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Wang expert was enough to dominate the entire empire, but in a rather chaotic place like the Chuyun Empire, even a Dou Huang expert could be ambushed and ultimately meet a tragic end if he was not careful.
On the second day of his journey, Xiao Yuan encountered three Dou Wang whose brains had been damaged by poison. They immediately demanded that he hand over Zi Yan and the Dou Technique he possessed.
Xiao Yuan was too lazy to waste words with them, so he immediately unleashed a Scorching Fire Incineration. The terrifying power of the Heavenly Flames burned the three of them to ashes.
Unfortunately, their Storage Ring contained only trashy Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, which Xiao Yuan disliked and destroyed to prevent them from harming others.
In Xiao Yuan's view, the Chuyun Empire was like a slightly more orderly Black-Corner Region. Therefore, when he acted, he basically followed the ruthless style of the Black-Corner Region: kill if you can kill, run if you can't, and don't let them run.
Sorry, but how about the Heaven Rank Battle Skill: Ghost Possession?
With the near-invincible trump card of the Yao Lao, Xiao Yuan fears no one or force in the Chuyun Empire.
After a five-day journey, Xiao Yuan finally entered the heart of the Chuyun Empire. To be on the safe side, Xiao Yuan found a secluded place, changed into the Yun Yun suit stored in his Storage Ring, hung an ordinary longsword at his waist, put on the white gauze hat, and carried Zi Yan on his back, walking down the street like an older sister taking her younger sister to seek medical treatment.
But soon, Xiao Yuan realized that he had made a mistake despite his careful planning.
In the Chuyun Empire, rough men and vicious-looking Poison Master are common, but a woman in a simple dress with an ethereal air like her is a rare find.
Before he had walked a hundred meters, Xiao Yuan noticed no fewer than ten lewd gazes sweeping over him from all angles.
Is this a case of shooting oneself in the foot?
Xiao Yuan shook his head helplessly. The next moment, a chilling killing intent emanated from his eyes, and orange-red flames ignited from the depths of his eyes. An invisible wave spread out from him.
"Laugh!"
The next moment, the closest Dou Ling- level man's face turned red, and smoke rose from his head. He then knelt down in pain, clutching his chest and neck. Orange-red flames rose continuously from his open mouth due to the excruciating pain. As time went by, flames spewed from every pore of his body, turning him into a fire man convulsing on the ground.
This scene spread rapidly within the next minute. One after another, the burning figures struggled in place, and everyone below the level of Dou Wang within a radius of 100 meters centered on Xiao Yuan perished!
Xiao Yuan turned around and looked at the man on the left pavilion who was suppressing the fire in his heart. He asked slowly in a cold voice.
"Excuse me, do you know how to get to the Poison Sect?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and controlled the burning flame in the other person's heart, temporarily weakening it.
Feeling the burning flames in his heart finally subside, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of fear crept into his eyes as he looked at Xiao Yuan. He chuckled awkwardly, "I... uhhhhh!"
Xiao Yuan slowly relaxed his clenched fist, his tone turning cold. "If you try to get close to me again, you can just die."
"This is a map of the Chuyun Empire."
Upon hearing this, the man clutched his chest, his face turning deathly pale, and hurriedly threw a scroll at Xiao Yuan.
Hmm? Looking at the scroll that faintly glowed with green light, Xiao Yuan clenched his fist again, then swung his arm and pointed out with his sword finger.
A light brown, fiery sword shadow shot out and pierced the man's heart.
"Trying to play dirty tricks on me?"
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, casually killing the man. He then threw out another ball of Heavenly Flames, which enveloped the man's Storage Ring and burned it to pieces. He swept his soul power over it and found the map. He then headed towards the Heavenly Poison City marked on the map.
"Not bad, that was ruthless!"
The Yao Lao said with great appreciation.
"Actually, I didn't want to be so high-profile."
Xiao Yuan muttered something under his breath.
"Your current attire is already quite conspicuous in this place. It's fine to be a little more conspicuous in your actions."
The Yao Lao smiled faintly.
If he were to impersonate someone, he would choose to disguise himself as a Poison Master, which is the most common image in the Chuyun Empire and would not attract attention.
Heavenly Poison City is revered as a sacred place by countless Poison Master of the Chuyun Empire, because some of the strongest forces in the Chuyun Empire throughout history have set up their headquarters here to receive the worship of Poison Master from all directions.
Standing on a mountain peak outside Heavenly Poison City, Xiao Yuan, weary from his journey, looked at Zi Yan, who was still sleeping in his arms, and felt a headache coming on.
She can sleep so much!
"These past few days, I've organized my thoughts and have come up with a general plan for dealing with the Woeful Poison Body."
The Yao Lao suddenly spoke up.
"Oh, so fast?"
Xiao Yuan said with some surprise upon hearing this.
"Actually, it's because I was quite interested in that Woeful Poison Body when I first encountered it, so I did some research on it. Now, after carefully organizing my findings, I think I have a preliminary solution."
Although the Yao Lao was being modest, his tone clearly carried a hint of arrogance.
Immediately afterward, Yao Lao flicked his finger in the ring, and a dark gray scroll appeared in Xiao Yuan's hand. "The solution is right here. Take a look, but the materials mentioned inside are extremely difficult to find."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan eagerly unfolded it.
"The Woeful Poison Body is a rather strange and special constitution. It is born with a deadly poison that kills anyone who touches it. It requires poison to survive, but the more poison one takes, the more concentrated the toxins become in the body. When the toxins accumulate to a certain point, they will completely explode. When they explode, all life within a thousand miles will be destroyed. This poison body is extremely rare and is divided into two types: congenital and acquired. The congenital type is innate, while the acquired type is artificially created. Naturally, the former is more powerful and there is no way to counteract it. However, if one is lucky enough, it is possible to completely control the poison body and manipulate the poison power within the body at will."
This method of control, known as the Poison Pill Method, involves condensing all the accumulated toxins in the body and finally transforming them into a Poison Pill pill. Once the Poison Pill is formed, the Woeful Poison Body will become a truly terrifying physique. Several disasters have occurred on the continent caused by the Woeful Poison Body Woeful Poison Body, but none of those who possessed it have ever reached this level. The reason is simply that the materials required for this Poison Pill Method are extremely difficult to find.
To refine Poison Pill, generally speaking, three things are needed: first, three kinds of Heavenly Flames; second, the Magic Core of a seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast; and third, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.
Xiao Yuan slowly swept his gaze across the scroll and nodded slightly. The materials required for the Poison Pill Method recorded on it were truly terrifying. No wonder no one with the Woeful Poison Body had ever successfully achieved it in all these years.
The three kinds of Heavenly Flames, the first one alone is enough to make everyone hesitate. It is common knowledge on the continent that the destructive power of Heavenly Flames is well known. If an ordinary expert could obtain a Heavenly Flames, his combat power would definitely increase greatly. If an alchemist obtained it, the success rate of refining pills would also increase significantly. Therefore, Heavenly Flames holds an extremely high position in the hearts of the experts on the Douqi Continent.
However, the rarity of Heavenly Flames is also well known. To be able to find even one is already a great blessing. As for the three types, Xiao Yuan really has them. If you include Xiao Yan, there are even five types!
The second condition is equally troublesome. The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast is Ancient Exotic Beast with extremely strong strength. A seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast is even qualified to transform into human form, making its combat power extremely terrifying. Among beasts of the same level, it has almost no rivals. Obtaining its Magic Core is even more difficult.
Of course, compared to the third one, the first two seem to be easier. Bodhi Transformation Saliva is something that even Dou Zong powerhouse would covet!
With these three stringent conditions, Xiao Yuan understood why no one who possessed the Woeful Poison Body had ever truly refined the so-called Poison Pill within their body, as this control method claimed.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan Xiao Yuan already possessed three types of Heavenly Flames, and he had a vague impression of the remaining two, at least giving him a direction to search for them.
Closing the scroll, Xiao Yuan stored it in his storage Storage Ring and sighed, "Teacher, the materials for the rest of the scroll won't be easy to find!"
"You should be content. Just those three kinds of Heavenly Flames could cause a lot of powerful people to die. You and Xiao Yan each have two, and with mine, that's a total of five Heavenly Flames. That's already incredibly lucky."
The Yao Lao snorted, clearly displeased with Xiao Yuan's hypocritical attitude after getting the benefit.
"Hey-hey!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"Bah!"
Just then, a sharp cry of a bird-like magical beast suddenly came from the sky. Xiao Yuan looked up and saw a giant eagle flying overhead.
The giant eagle was entirely dark blue, its sharp beak curved into a cold, gleaming arc, and its massive talons were also incredibly sharp, possessing the power to easily shatter rocks.
But Xiao Yuan's gaze was fixed on the eagle's head!
There, a graceful figure stood calmly, the surrounding gale not even stirring the hem of her clothes. The woman wore a white and purple dress, and her long, snow-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall.
