Valley Cohabitation

In the early morning, the thick fog made the sky appear somewhat dim. However, the herbal scent permeating the air was refreshing and invigorating.

Lin Ming was currently in the valley that Xiao Yi Xian had mentioned. According to Xiao Yi Xian, this place was discovered by chance by a Flying Magical Beast she had rescued.

Upon arriving at this place, seeing the steep mountain walls all around and the thick fog in the sky, Lin Ming was immediately delighted.

Because of these two concealments, even if one were to fly by unnoticed, one would not notice anything amiss in this valley, so ordinary people would be even less likely to discover it.

Furthermore, upon entering the valley, the energy within is extremely concentrated. In such a rich energy environment, the valley is also exceptionally abundant with medicinal herbs. Thus, amidst the Medicinal Fragrance, the air in the valley is as sweet as the exquisite spring water.

After two days of observation, Lin Ming has roughly figured out why the energy here is so abundant.

The valley below should also be an Energy Convergence Node, just like where Zi Yan from the family was in seclusion.

However, this Energy Convergence Node in the valley is not as deep underground as the one where Zi Yan of the family is in seclusion. This one in the valley should be not far from the ground.

The energy emanating from this energy gathering point makes the valley exceptionally rich in energy.

"Xiao Yi Xian, is breakfast ready?" Lin Ming asked after stretching as he stepped out of his room.

"Xiao Yi Xian!" Receiving no reply, Lin Ming called out again.

Inside the valley, there were only two wooden huts built together. Since Xiao Yi Xian hadn't responded to his calls, something was definitely wrong. Lin Ming instantly thought, "Something's happened."

Lin Ming took two steps to the door of Xiao Yi Xian's house, and without the slightest hesitation, he kicked the wooden door that was covering the door.

Upon entering the wooden house, Lin Ming saw Xiao Yi Xian lying on the bed with her eyes closed and her face glowing with seven colors. He immediately went to her side and called out, "Xiao Yi Xian, wake up!"

At Lin Ming's call, Xiao Yi Xian's tightly closed eyes suddenly twitched slightly. Then, Xiao Yi Xian's tightly closed eyes slowly opened.

"Lin... Lin Ming... Why are you here?" Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes, looked at Lin Ming sitting on her bed, and asked with a slightly flustered tone.

"It's so early, and you haven't had breakfast yet. I came to see what you were doing, slacking off. I didn't expect you, Xiao Yi Xian, to still be sleeping in. Sigh!" Lin Ming said with a tone of exasperation.

"Who... who slept in?" Seeing Lin Ming's expression, Xiao Yi Xian immediately wanted to retort. However, when she thought about how she had indeed woken up after Lin Ming called her, no matter what the reason, her confidence in retorting instantly wavered.

"Then why did you only wake up when I called you, since you're supposed to be sleeping in late?" Lin Ming retorted, not to be outdone, upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words.

"I... I am..." Xiao Yi Xian began to refute, but when she thought of her repulsive poisonous body, Xiao Yi Xian words stopped.

"Alright, since you have nothing to say, then get up and cook! I'm starving." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's expression, Lin Ming immediately spoke up.

"Lin... Lin Ming, you didn't touch me just now, did you?" Seeing Lin Ming get up after speaking, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly seemed to realize something and immediately asked.

"Xiao Yi Xian, really? You were almost naked that night and I didn't do anything to you, and now you're still dressed? You don't think I did anything to you, do you?" Lin Ming said with a surprised look.

"No, it's not that, I was..." Hearing Lin Ming's words, and knowing that Lin Ming had misunderstood, Xiao Yi Xian immediately explained.

"Oh? No, it's not that. So you're worried that your newly activated Woeful Poison Body will harm a Dou King Expert?" Lin Ming asked, looking at the stuttering Xiao Yi Xian.

"Lin Ming, you... you know?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in surprise when she heard Lin Ming mention the Woeful Poison Body.

"It's just the Woeful Poison Body. Although your Poison Scripture describes it as terrifying, it's not uncontrollable. So, Xiao Yi Xian, instead of worrying about that, you should worry about what to cook for me later." Knowing what Xiao Yi Xian was worried about, Lin Ming immediately said to her.

"Lin Ming, do you have a way to control the Woeful Poison Body?" Upon hearing Lin Ming say that he could control it, Xiao Yi Xian was stunned for a moment, and then asked eagerly.

The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture includes an introduction to the Woeful Poison Body. The Woeful Poison Body is a peculiar body that can rapidly increase its strength by consuming poisons.

The way to identify Woeful Poison Body is by a thin, Seven-Colored Hidden Line on their lower abdomen. This Seven-Colored Hidden Line will grow upwards as the poisonous power within the body of the person with the poisonous body increases.

When this Seven-Colored Hidden Line extends to the heart, it is the time when the Woeful Poison Body is at its strongest, and at the same time, it is the time when the Woeful Poison Body ends.

Once the body's toxicity reaches its peak, the possessor of the Woeful Poison Body will experience a burst of toxicity within their body.

Every possessor of the Woeful Poison Body will eventually be unable to suppress the accumulated poison within their body, causing it to erupt.

At that time, not only will those with the Woeful Poison Body suffer the torment of Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Heart, but the area within a thousand miles where the poison erupts will become a highly poisonous zone, devoid of any life.

The thought of how she would bring calamity to all living beings within a thousand miles made Xiao Yi Xian feel disgusted with her poisonous body.

But the allure of the poison compelled Xiao Yi Xian to take it. After all, the thrill of rapidly increasing one's strength was always intoxicating.

The thrill of increasing her strength was juxtaposed with the terrifying crisis of its potential eruption. This contradiction caused Xiao Yi Xian to feel as if two little people were constantly arguing and pulling at each other. That's Xiao Yi Xian was so eager now after hearing Lin Ming say that he could control the Woeful Poison Body.

"Before you met me, Xiao Yi Xian, did you ever imagine that someone could reach the Dou Wang at my age? Since I can reach the Dou Wang Xiao Yi Xian this age, then I also have a way to control your Woeful Poison Body. As for the specific method, you will know it in a while. Believe me, I will definitely help you control your Woeful Poison Body." Faced with Lin Ming's serious words, Xiao Yi Xian was stunned for a moment.

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and cook!" Seeing the Xiao Yi Xian standing there in a daze, Lin Ming immediately spoke up to wake her up.

"Mmm!" The awakened Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were filled with tears, and her expression was replaced by a smile. At the same time, a Xiao Yi Xian filled her heart.

"I trust you!"

Seeing the radiant smile on Xiao Yi Xian's face, Lin Ming's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. Then, Lin Ming left Xiao Yi Xian's room.

After Lin Ming left the room, Xiao Yi Xian got out of bed and ran to the kitchen, excitedly starting to make breakfast.
