Yao Lao: Learning Another Trick from His Disciple

"Xiao Yi Xian!"

Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up as he gazed at the familiar face that had matured somewhat but remained beautiful.

However, judging from Xiao Yi Xian's grayish-purple eyes, she is probably suffering greatly from the Woeful Poison Body.

Without the slightest hesitation, lightning crackled beneath Xiao Yuan's feet, and the next moment, he appeared above Blue Eagle's head.

Swoosh! Almost at the same time Xiao Yuan's figure appeared, Xiao Yi Xian struck out with a palm.

"It's been so many years, your temper has certainly grown a lot!"

With his Dou Qi gathering in his palm, Xiao Yuan did not attack anyone. Instead, he grabbed the delicate hand that Xiao Yi Xian was trying to strike with. But the next moment, his Dou Qi was stained black. The terrifying poisonous Dou Qi was almost omnipresent. In an instant, Xiao Yuan's arm turned black, looking quite horrifying.

Hearing that familiar voice from the depths of her memory, Xiao Yi Xian was startled, but when she looked over, she found that it was a veiled woman with a curvaceous figure and a tall stature.

?

Xiao Yi Xian was a little confused, but seeing that Xiao Yuan did not attack her, she did not attack Xiao Yuan again, but she also ignored Xiao Yuan's arm that was corroded by poison gas.

Xiao Yuan removed the Veiled Hat and placed it on Zi Yan's small head behind her back, revealing his face.

"Who are you?"

When Xiao Yi Xian saw Xiao Yuan's handsome face, her pupils shrank, but she immediately pretended to be a stranger.

"Your acting is as bad as ever. It seems I should have ignored your feelings and just kissed you."

Xiao Yuan reached out with his other hand, hooked Xiao Yi Xian's chin, looked at her red lips, and chuckled softly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's gaze darted away for a moment, but quickly her expression turned cold. She reached out and slapped Xiao Yuan's hand away, her gray-purple eyes gradually returning to their usual calm. Then she said coldly, "I am not Xiao Yi Xian. You have mistaken me for someone else!"

"And who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan blinked and asked, feigning confusion.

Xiao Yi Xian remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "The Xiao Yi Xian you knew is dead. I am now the sect leader of the Poison Sect, Little Fairy Doctor."

Looking at the indifferent Xiao Yi Xian from beginning to end, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Back then, although she knew the condition of her body, she still stubbornly maintained that kindness, wrapping herself up tightly, not wanting others to be hurt because of her. That kind smile that penetrated the heart and lungs captivated countless people. However, now, those most charming things seem to have left her.

"Is it because of the Woeful Poison Body?"

Xiao Yuan clenched his fists, and the thought of her becoming like this pained his heart.

"I was born in misfortune, and the meaning of my existence is simply to spread misfortune."

Looking at Xiao Yuan's complicated expression, Xiao Yi Xian seemed slightly dazed, as if she remembered those things from back then. Her cold and ruthless face slowly softened a little, and she said softly, "I told you back then that I would eventually reach this point, because the fate of the Woeful Poison Body has always been the same throughout the ages."

"Hmph, I don't know about others, but you would never go that far, I guarantee it!"

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Now, anyone who touches me will die in the most painful way in front of me. You don't understand what has happened to me over the years."

A look of desolation appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face. After leaving the Jia Ma Empire, she thought she would definitely be able to overcome this so-called Woeful Poison Body, but reality was cruel.

After leaving the Jia Ma Empire, she spent a year in a small mountain village in the Chuyun Empire. There, she stayed with two elderly people who had no children. The two elders, seeing her lovely and kind nature, invited her to stay in the village and treated her like their own daughter. The villagers also treated her like family. She was very happy that year. Having experienced many hardships since childhood, apart from the unforgettable friendship she had with Xiao Yuan in Green Mountain Town, she had never experienced such a heartwarming happiness.

She cherished this relationship deeply and vowed several times to protect it. However, the outbreak of the Woeful Poison Body changed everything.

First, two elderly people who treated her like a daughter touched her body while she was unconscious and died in the most painful way in front of her. When she woke up, what she saw was the kind and gentle gaze of the two elderly people looking at her. But it was this gaze that truly shattered her heart.

After the two elders died, some other people in the village died in agony because of her. In the end, under the disgusted and fearful gazes of the villagers, she dragged her exhausted body away with the bodies of the two elders.

She buried the bodies of the two elders and knelt before their graves until she fainted. When she awoke, her hair had turned completely white.

Touching her somewhat frightening white hair, she finally understood that she was a jinx, a jinx who brought disaster to those around her. If that was the case, what use was kindness? Treating others with kindness, only to see them die in the most painful way before her eyes, was that kindness or cruelty?

After figuring this out, the kind-hearted Xiao Yi Xian was hidden deep within her heart, and what was released was the cold and ruthless Little Fairy Doctor! Looking at the ever-changing expression on Xiao Yi Xian's face, Xiao Yuan sighed, then his expression changed, and he immediately collapsed onto Blue Eagle's head.

"Xiao Yuan! How are you?!"

Seeing the dark color appear on Xiao Yuan's face, Xiao Yi Xian was immediately alarmed. She completely forgot that she had been pretending to be indifferent. She squatted down and wanted to reach out to check Xiao Yuan's condition, but she was worried that she would worsen the poison in Xiao Yuan's body.

The Blue Eagle below also let out a mournful cry, clearly grieving for Xiao Yuan who was about to "die".

"You've finally acknowledged me?"

A bleak smile appeared on Xiao Yuan's face as he reached out, seemingly wanting to touch Xiao Yi Xian's cheek.

"Of course, I said back in that valley that if I dared to touch you then, I would dare to do so again. I want to savor the taste of the Woeful Poison Body. Whoever touches you dies? I'm not afraid!"

Looking at Xiao Yuan's increasingly worse complexion, tears welled up in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. She quickly changed her hand seals to withdraw the poison from Xiao Yuan's body, but some of it still seeped into Xiao Yuan's internal organs. Even she, the possessor of the Woeful Poison Body, had no way to stop it!

"Stop talking!"

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, her eyes filled with pain.

"I have to say this, otherwise you'll really think I'm afraid of your so-called Woeful Poison Body!"

Xiao Yuan shook his head. The light brown flames started from his heart and spread outwards, turning all the poison in his body into nothingness. In his Azure Wood Qi Gathering Palaces, pale green energy slowly dispersed and flowed to every part of his body, quickly repairing the parts damaged by the poison.

Watching Xiao Yuan's complexion return to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, a look of bewilderment appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's gray-purple eyes.

What happened? Inside the ring, Yao Lao remained silent, suddenly realizing that he should have learned from that little rascal Xiao Yuan in this regard. If he had a beautiful woman by his side, he might not have been ambushed and killed. In fact, if they were both there, the people from the Soul Hall would not have returned alive.

More importantly, with a beautiful woman by his side, he no longer needs to raise an ungrateful wretch like a son.

I'm so tired of losing!

It's so good to be young!

The Yao Lao shook his head, his soul power condensing into a notebook in his hand, and he began to carefully take notes in his soul notebook.

Xiao Yuan sat up from the top of Blue Eagle's head, gently patted Blue Eagle's big head, then looked at Xiao Yi Xian, reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

"I told you, I'm not afraid of you becoming a walking source of poison, but if you don't acknowledge me, I don't mind making up all the things I said back then!"

Xiao Yuan held Xiao Yi Xian's soft, fair face in his hands with a serious expression, staring into her eyes, and said earnestly, word by word.

Upon hearing this, even with Xiao Yi Xian's current composure, recalling the vulgar threats the boy had used against her in the past, she couldn't help but blush slightly. But she quickly realized what he meant and straightened her face. "So you were faking it just now?"

"What else can we do? Pin you to the ground, beat you up, and force you to admit that you are Xiao Yi Xian?"

Xiao Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly upon hearing this. His behavior back then was partly due to uncertainty about Xiao Yi Xian's character, and partly due to a bit of youthful mischief. But if he were to actually bully a girl like that, his conscience wouldn't allow it.

"So what if I admit it? My hands are covered in blood that I can't wash off. The Xiao Yi Xian of the past has long been buried under the setting sun of that day. Now I am the sect leader of the Poison Sect, the Little Fairy Doctor!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian lowered her eyelids slightly and said dejectedly.

But soon, she raised her head and said solemnly, "Xiao Yuan, I think I may not live for many more years. Can I stay by your side? If the Woeful Poison Body breaks out one day, I hope that you can end this calamity. Dying in your hands is probably the best end for me!"

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Yuan was initially pleased to hear Xiao Yi Xian say this, but his expression immediately changed after hearing it, and he rebuked her with a dark face.

"You are not allowed to die!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Even if you are immune to the deadly poison of the Woeful Poison Body, it is absolutely impossible for you to break its defenses."

Over the years, she has investigated a great deal of information, but still has not found any clues on how to break the Woeful Poison Body.

"The Woeful Poison Body is innate, and it is indeed very difficult to break it." Xiao Yuan nodded, looking at Xiao Yi Xian whose eyes had instantly dimmed, and said in a deep voice, "While breaking it is impossible, I can help you completely control it!"

"Control?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was slightly startled, then frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Yuan's serious expression, as if she was somewhat tempted.

"As long as you can completely control this Woeful Poison Body, there will be no more unintentional deaths from poisoning. On the contrary, you will be able to use the deadly poison within your body at will," Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing what Xiao Yuan said, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flickered, and she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can you really do it?"

"Believe me."

Xiao Yuan nodded emphatically. Thanks to Yao Lao, this matter could be resolved! The Xiao Yi Xian stared intently at Xiao Yuan's serious expression for a moment, then gently nodded. "What do you need me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan took out the scroll given to him by the Yao Lao and handed it to Xiao Yi Xian.

With a slender reach, the scroll fell into her hand automatically. A look of excitement flashed in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, and she carefully and slowly unfurled it.

A moment later, Xiao Yi Xian's face visibly paled.

Such stringent conditions make the hope seem slim! Seeing the momentary dimming in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes, Xiao Yuan said softly, "You don't need to worry about the three kinds of Heavenly Flames; I can help with that. But the Magic Core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva will require some effort. You'll have to put in more effort in the meantime!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes flickered slightly. She understood Xiao Yuan's implied meaning and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You have three kinds of Heavenly Flames?"

After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Yuan in astonishment. How could one person possess three different kinds of Heavenly Flames?

Seeing Xiao Yuan's expression, Xiao Yuan smiled, flicked his finger, and a wisp of light brown flame suddenly emerged, which quickly split into black and white flames and a dazzling Orange-Red Flame. Immediately afterwards, another Bone White Flame flew out from the Storage Ring in his hand.

Looking at the three tiny flames floating in front of Xiao Yuan, a hint of joy appeared in Xiao Yi Xian's dim eyes. She said, "No wonder you are immune to my poison. It turns out that it is because you are protected by Heavenly Flames!"

"Even with the three Heavenly Flames, the Magic Core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and the so-called Bodhi Transformation Saliva are extremely difficult to obtain."

Looking at the slightly troubled expression on Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "It's better than having no hope at all. I will do my best to help you with these things."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly. This was indeed better than having no hope at all. "Alright, I will search extensively for information on this matter when I get back. I will let you know if I have any news."

"Hand the scroll back to Xiao Yuan, "Xiao Yi Xian said softly.

Are you going back to your sect?

Xiao Yuan put the scroll away and asked casually.

"Yes, I found a rare poison on this trip. Just by refining it, I was able to break through to the Five Star Dou Huang level. If I refine it completely, it should help me break through to the Seven Star Dou Huang."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded and said earnestly.

"Aren't you going to invite me to your turf for a visit?"

Xiao Yuan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly looked at Xiao Yuan's attire, a strange smile appearing on her face, "Alright! Miss Xiao!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan put her Veiled Hat back on, and her cool, slightly teasing voice slowly rang out. "Let's go, beauty!"

Hearing Xiao Yuan's seemingly genuine female voice, Xiao Yi Xian inexplicably lowered her gaze unconsciously, but quickly stopped herself, muttering under her breath, "Perverted lecher!"
