Xiao Yan Devours Purple Flame, Chen Yang Obtains Seventh-Rank Beast Flame

Xiao Yi Xian's secret valley base was not small, and Cloud Mist swirled above it. Ordinary Flying Magical Beasts would not be able to spot it. If Chen Yang had not led the way, even the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a local Magical Beast, would not have known that such a treasured place existed within its own territory.

After landing, Chen Yang had the Amethyst Winged Lion King squat at a spot near the valley entrance. A little farther out was where the Myriad Medicine Pavilion had previously gathered herbs.

After settling the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Chen Yang went to the water's edge, found a protruding rock, and sat cross-legged upon it. With a wave of his hand, he took out the Medicinal Materials and Medicine Cauldron needed for alchemy and began Open Furnace Alchemy.

This time, he was refining a peak Fourth-grade pill for the Amethyst Winged Lion King Cub. It had been created by an Alchemist commissioned by the Ancient Demon Sect Amethyst Winged Lion Clan. The reason was simple: not every Amethyst Winged Lion King could give birth to a Companion Purple Crystal Source. The chance of producing one was less than one in ten. Thus, this pill used other rare Medicinal Materials to replace part of the Companion Purple Crystal Source, allowing an Amethyst Winged Lion King Cub to consume it while still a Third-tier Magical Beast.

After consuming a single pill, a Third-tier Amethyst Winged Lion King Cub could Directly Advance to Fourth Rank.

As for whether there were Fifth-grade Pills that could allow a Fourth Rank Magical Beast to Directly Advance to Fifth-order, Chen Yang did not know. After all, he was only a humble Fourth-grade Alchemist.

When a Fourth-grade pill was formed, its Pill Fragrance would spread everywhere.

After digging a rain-sheltered cave for its cub, the distant Amethyst Winged Lion King lay at the valley entrance and silently watched Chen Yang refine pills.

When it caught the rich Pill Fragrance, the Amethyst Winged Lion King nearly leaped to its feet in excitement. If not for Chen Yang's deterrence, Pill Fragrance of this level would have been enough to draw a Sixth-order Magical Beast like it into a fierce scramble.

As the pill took shape, Chen Yang used his flames for the final nurturing. The Pill Fragrance drifted farther and farther, though it was all contained within the valley.

"Ugh..."

Inside the house, the still somewhat exhausted Xiao Yi Xian slowly woke up and immediately smelled the rich fragrance.

Still bleary-eyed, she got up and walked out the door. She saw Chen Yang sitting cross-legged by the water refining pills, and a look called happiness flashed across her face. Xiao Yi Xian stepped outside, intending to go to Chen Yang, but the moment she turned, she saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King crouching at the valley entrance like a small mountain.

"Ah!!!"

With a cry of alarm, Xiao Yi Xian quickly ran in front of Chen Yang, placing herself between him and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"It's fine, Xiao Yi Xian!"

"It's the cute Magical Beast I told you about."

Chen Yang smiled and slapped the Medicine Cauldron. The pill inside flew out and was steadily caught by him.

With a wave of his hand, he put away both the Medicine Cauldron and the pill. Then he jumped down from the Giant Stone, wrapped an arm around Xiao Yi Xian's still-trembling shoulders, and said,

"???" Xiao Yi Xian turned to look at Chen Yang in astonishment, then turned back to look at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

You call this cute?

This was a little too cute, wasn't it?!

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes. Only then did she realize that this enormous lion was probably Chen Yang's mount or pet, much like Xiao Lan was to her.

"Sixth-order Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"

"I took it in at the Monster Mountain Range some time ago!"

Chen Yang pointed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and explained with a smile.

"A Sixth-order Magical Beast?"

"Doesn't that make it a Dou Emperor Strong Person like you?"

Xiao Yi Xian was shocked once again.

"Even a Dou Emperor Strong Person is still our pet. It has to listen to you!"

Chen Yang smiled and beckoned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately flapped its wings happily and flew over, then carefully landed before Chen Yang.

"Here, give this pill to your cub. In a few days, it should be able to advance to Fourth Rank!" Chen Yang said as he took out the pill from his Storage Ring and tossed it to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Mistress!" the Amethyst Winged Lion King respectfully called out twice before backing away and flying back to the valley entrance.

Watching the Amethyst Winged Lion King leave, Xiao Yi Xian let out a breath. She had not merely never seen a Magical Beast of that level before; this was her first time even hearing of one.

Sensing the girl's discomfort in his arms, Chen Yang tightened his embrace around her.

"Chen Yang, I feel like ever since I started following you, my horizons have gradually widened. Will I soon become unworthy of you?" Girls who had just entered a relationship were like this, always worrying about gaining and losing, afraid that their lover might suddenly abandon them.

"How could that be? Your Calamity Poison Body has limitless potential. Maybe I'll need you to protect me in the future." Chen Yang reached out and stroked Xiao Yi Xian's little face, looking at her with complete seriousness.

"I know... but if I want to rapidly increase my strength, I have to consume poison. And after taking poison, I won't be able to be with you..." Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head uneasily, her voice soft.

"Isn't that why I said you're lucky? Come..." Chen Yang smiled and led Xiao Yi Xian to sit at the Stone Table outside. Then, with a wave of his hand, he took out a Scroll that had appeared less than three hours ago from his Storage Ring. "This time, I happened to gain something related to your Calamity Poison Body."

As he spoke, Chen Yang Handed To Xiao Yi Xian the Scroll.

Xiao Yi Xian took the Scroll in confusion and opened it. What entered her eyes was the introduction to the Heavenly Poison Netherworld Art.

"This... this is..."

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang in shock and delight. This Cultivation Method could actually control the Calamity Poison Body?

"I never expected there to be a second thing related to the Calamity Poison Body in the Monster Mountain Range." Chen Yang thought that since there was a second Flying Dou Technique in the Monster Mountain Range, perhaps a second item related to the Calamity Poison Body was not so impossible.

"Chen Yang..." Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang with tears in her eyes. After calling his name in a daze, she threw herself into his arms. "It must be... I must have become so lucky because I met you. You are... you are my greatest fortune."

As Xiao Yi Xian spoke emotionally, Chen Yang lifted her into his arms and placed her on his lap, wiping away her tears. "Your good fortune is still to come."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's puzzled expression, Chen Yang smiled. "What I obtained was a Spiritual Power Inheritance, Named the Heavenly Poison Sacred Scripture. It contains many things. Aside from this Cultivation Method that I imprinted with Spiritual Power, the sacred scripture also records the Netherworld Poison Flame's exact location."

As Xiao Yi Xian listened to Chen Yang, her small mouth gradually fell open, as if she were listening to a heavenly tale.

"Your Calamity Poison Body can be completely resolved, and there's hope for the promise I made to turn you into an Alchemist!" Chen Yang said gently as he rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's hair.

"Waaah!!!"

Xiao Yi Xian threw herself into Chen Yang's arms and burst into loud tears.

Finally... finally, she could see hope for everything.

She did not want to leave Chen Yang. She truly did not want to, not even a little.

But one day, her constitution would grow powerful enough to threaten even a Dou Emperor Strong Person. When that day came, she would certainly have to leave Chen Yang.

But she could not bear it. She truly could not bear it at all.

Yet the good news Chen Yang had brought completely released the emotions in her heart. At this moment, everything burst forth without restraint!

Over the following days, Xiao Yi Xian began cultivating the Heavenly Poison Netherworld Art, while Chen Yang took charge of refining highly toxic Medicinal Pills for her. Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

It was worth mentioning that if Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques obtained by triggering the System Mechanism were given to someone else, the System Mechanism could not be triggered again.

In just one month, Xiao Yi Xian went from a One-star Dou Zhe to a One-star Da Dou Shi, advancing even faster than Xiao Yan. Of course, aside from Poison Pills, Chen Yang also refined other auxiliary pills for Xiao Yi Xian—ones to strengthen her foundation, improve her physique, and more...

Well... Chen Yang actually had many mild pills that could enhance one's physique. As long as they were consumed alongside high-intensity training, one could gradually raise one's physical body to the level of a Third-tier Magical Beast. But if it were Xiao Yan... he should just keep getting beaten up!

On this day, after Xiao Yi Xian and Chen Yang had finished their ride, she was learning how to prepare poison when the System Prompt suddenly rang out in Chen Yang's mind:

[ Ding! ]

[Detected that the strongest beast flame in the Eastern Region of the Monster Mountain Range is Xiao Yan's Sixth-order Purple Flame. The host has obtained the beast flame of the Seventh-tier Magical Beast Seven-Colored Heavenly Swallowing Python. It has been perfectly fused for you!]

"Xiao Yan finished the job???"

"Not bad, not bad..."
