Xiao Yi Xian cooked quickly, but Chen Yang's pill refining was not so fast. After all, tomorrow was the last day of Myriad Medicine Pavilion's opening, so he naturally needed to refine plenty of Medicinal Pills.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Yi Xian leaned against the doorframe and quietly watched Chen Yang refine pills in the courtyard.

As a pharmacist, the people she admired most were Alchemists. She also wanted to become a true Alchemist, but whether it was her Dou Qi Attribute or the terrifying Calamity Poison Body within her, both doomed her to never become one.

Being able to watch him refine medicine is already enough for me.

Xiao Yi Xian revealed a breathtaking smile. Looking at Chen Yang's focused face, her heart remained as steadfast as ever.

Noticing Xiao Yi Xian standing by the door, Chen Yang put away the Medicine Cauldron after finishing this batch of pills, then got up and walked toward her.

"The food is ready. Try it and see whether my cooking has improved these past few days," Xiao Yi Xian said softly, lifting the loose strands of hair by her ear.

"I spent every day eating rough and sleeping outdoors in the Monster Mountain Range. I've been missing your cooking terribly!" Chen Yang casually took Xiao Yi Xian's hand, and the two carried the simple yet fragrant, colorful dishes into the dining room together. They sat close beside each other and began eating.

"Try this..." Xiao Yi Xian picked up a piece of First-tier Magical Beast meat and placed it in Chen Yang's bowl.

Qingshan Town did not lack edible Magical Beast meat. Some Magical Beasts had meat that was rather gamey, but others fed on wind and dew, making their meat exceptionally tender.

It was not only the people of Qingshan Town who enjoyed this kind of Magical Beast meat. Even the wealthy lords in nearby large cities and the Imperial Capital loved eating it.

As for the people of Qingshan Town, they had the advantage of location and were able to enjoy the freshest meat.

"Mmm! Delicious. I could eat this stir-fried meat for the rest of my life!"

Chen Yang chewed a few bites and praised it sincerely.

Xiao Yi Xian's cooking had indeed improved considerably.

"Then eat more."

Xiao Yi Xian wore a Slight Smile as she continued placing food into Chen Yang's bowl.

Chen Yang ate heartily while also serving Xiao Yi Xian food. When he felt about seventy percent full, he slowed down and said to her, "During this trip into the mountains, I met a friend I helped before. He told me something."

Xiao Yi Xian curiously raised her head and looked at Chen Yang, unable to understand why he had suddenly brought up this topic.

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's confusion, Chen Yang put down his chopsticks and took hold of her left hand resting on the table. "My friend told me that he has a way to resolve the Calamity Poison Body!"

"Boom!"

The moment Chen Yang spoke, Xiao Yi Xian's head felt as if it had been struck by a Heaven Tier Dou Technique, the roaring ringing endlessly in her ears.

She could not understand how Chen Yang knew that she possessed the Calamity Poison Body???

"Do you remember that time when you were bathing..." Chen Yang's gaze drifted toward the slender spot beneath Xiao Yi Xian's full chest, and he revealed a teasing smile.

"You..." Xiao Yi Xian immediately blushed. She shot Chen Yang a fierce glare, and her eyes turned red as well.

"Don't worry. Although most Calamity Poison Body possessors on the Dou Qi Continent met miserable ends, it does not mean there is no solution. I alone have three methods for resolving the Calamity Poison Body!" Chen Yang held up three fingers as he spoke to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Th-three methods?" Xiao Yi Xian could hardly believe it.

Her copy of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture had clearly stated that the Calamity Poison Body was a constitution doomed to death.

"The first is the Poison Pill Method my friend mentioned, but the requirements are somewhat harsh. The practitioner needs to possess three Heavenly Flames. It should be settled in about Four or Five Years!"

Xiao Yi Xian Nodded. She did not know exactly how demanding it was to obtain three Heavenly Flames, but Four or Five Years was not long for her.

"The second is to find the Netherworld Poison Flame, ranked twentieth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. This also happens to fulfill what I told you when we first met. If you can refine it, not only can it resolve your poison body, but it can also make you an Alchemist." The path of poison inherently contained Wood Qi. Paired with the Netherworld Poison Flame, becoming a great pill refiner might be difficult, but refining Medicinal Pills below Fourth-grade should not be a problem.

Upon hearing this, the small hand Chen Yang held curled slightly. Xiao Yi Xian felt deeply moved. She had thought Chen Yang had merely mentioned it casually back then, yet he had remembered it all along and had even found a further solution.

"As for the last method, that would be for me to become a Dou Di. For a Dou Di, there is nothing on the Dou Qi Continent that cannot be resolved!" Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Pfft..." Seeing Chen Yang casually speak of becoming a Dou Di, Xiao Yi Xian could not help laughing.

"You really are something. You make the hardest thing sound like the easiest. How could becoming a Dou Di possibly be so easy?" Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at Chen Yang.

"So, don't think about leaving without saying goodbye, alright? I'm already an Eight-star Dou Huang. I'll soon become a Dou Zong, perhaps even a Dou Zun. Even if we cannot find the Netherworld Poison Flame for now, I can still find other ways to suppress the Calamity Poison Body within you!" Chen Yang said as his right hand held Xiao Yi Xian's left while his other hand gently caressed her cheek.

"Y-you... How did you know I... wanted to leave?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang timidly.

"Silly girl, I'm an Alchemist and an Eight-star Dou Huang. Did you really think your little thoughts could be hidden from me?" Chen Yang pinched the girl's cheek. Xiao Yi Xian unconsciously puffed out her cheeks, but her delicate skin was so soft that Chen Yang's fingers could not get a proper grip.

"W-will it really be alright?"

"Lately, whenever I look at poison, I find myself unable to resist it. It feels as if my body is driving me to eat it?"

Xiao Yi Xian could not bear to leave Chen Yang either. Especially now that there was a way to solve her problem, she found it even harder to part with him.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. If you want to eat it, then eat it. As long as you restrain yourself and do not eat too much at once, I can handle it!" In the original story, even the Poison Medusa Xiao Yi Xian created when she was a Dou Zong could be endured by another Dou Zong for a while. Now she was only a Dou Zhe. How could he, an Eight-star Dou Huang, possibly fail to endure it?

"Th-then I won't leave. I'll stay by your side unless one day you no longer want me and decide to drive me away!" Xiao Yi Xian clenched her silver teeth and made up her mind.

"That's more like it..." Chen Yang pinched Xiao Yi Xian's cheek again. The feeling really was wonderful, much better than Ya Fei's or Yun Yun's.

"Hehe..."

After the meal, Xiao Yi Xian went to clean up while Chen Yang continued refining the remaining Medicinal Pills. With his current pill-refining skills and Dou Qi endurance, he could refine dozens of portions of First-grade Pill ingredients in one batch.

Early the Next Day, mercenaries were already lining up outside Myriad Medicine Pavilion. Even the three captains of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group were personally waiting in line, and no one dared cut in. An Alchemist and a Da Dou Shi were godlike existences in Qingshan Town.

An hour later, the queued mercenaries had all received the Medicinal Pills they wanted and departed. Chen Yang also announced that Myriad Medicine Pavilion would be closed indefinitely.

The Next Day after that, Chen Yang and Xiao Yi Xian packed away everything that held memories of them both, then silently left Myriad Medicine Pavilion and entered the Monster Mountain Range.

When the two entered the Monster Mountain Range once more, the System Prompt rang out beside Chen Yang's ear:

[Ding!] [The strongest Poison Scripture in the Monster Mountain Range has been detected as the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. The host has obtained the stronger poison-path scripture, the Heavenly Poison Sacred Scripture!]

"???"

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. Why had the System Mechanism suddenly triggered again? Thinking carefully, it seemed that he had indeed returned to Qingshan Town last time before he truly gave the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture to Xiao Yi Xian.

Of course, it was also possible that both he and the system had forgotten.

After briefly complaining to himself, Chen Yang walked alongside Xiao Yi Xian and took the Heavenly Poison Sacred Scripture from his Storage Ring, unfolding it.

As Chen Yang continued reading, the joy in his eyes grew greater and greater.

"It actually records the Netherworld Poison Flame's location in detail!!!"

"That's great!!!"
