Calamity Poison Body Activated

In the isolated Small Valley, Lin Feng and Xiao Yi Xian had lived peacefully for half a month.

During that time, thanks to Lin Feng taking the initiative, his relationship with Xiao Yi Xian had grown much closer.

However, breaking through to Dou Master proved more difficult than Lin Feng had imagined. During his time cultivating in the valley,

although the Dou Qi within his body had grown increasingly robust and condensed, the feeling of a breakthrough still stubbornly refused to come.

Lin Feng could do nothing about this. While continuing his cultivation, he also used the Medicinal Herbs obtained from Boss Yao's Storage Ring, along with those in the valley, to improve his alchemy.

Whenever Lin Feng refined pills, Xiao Yi Xian was always the most enthusiastic.

As long as Lin Feng was refining pills, she would definitely be there.

However, Xiao Yi Xian was not freeloading. Lin Feng's meals these days, as well as his old clothes, were all taken care of by her.

That evening, Lin Feng stopped meditating and slowly walked out of the thatched hut.

He happened to run into Xiao Yi Xian returning from gathering herbs, a flower basket hanging from her arm.

A light green headscarf was tied around her head, making her look like a beautiful little village girl.

"Hungry? I'll go make dinner now."

Seeing Lin Feng, Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head and gave him a playful smile.

Then she crouched down, rolled up her long sleeves, lit a fire beneath the stone stove, and methodically laid out everything needed for cooking.

Sitting on a nearby stone, Lin Feng watched Xiao Yi Xian quietly hum as she worked, and could not help smiling.

But when he thought of the Calamity Poison Body, his smile abruptly vanished. His brows furrowed slightly as he muttered, "I wonder if that thing can suppress the Calamity Poison Body. But finding it won't be easy."

"Here, eat."

As Lin Feng was deep in thought, a jade-like arm holding a wooden bowl suddenly appeared before him, followed by a gentle female voice at his ear.

"Uh, alright."

Looking at the lovely girl before him, Lin Feng accepted the meat soup and began gulping it down.

"Hehe."

Because of her constitution, Xiao Yi Xian had become somewhat sensitive lately.

Seeing Lin Feng completely unguarded around her, a trace of warmth flashed through her eyes.

At that moment, she actually hoped that this kind of life could continue forever.

But when she thought of the contents of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, her eyes dimmed.

Perhaps she did not deserve such a life.

After all, he was a respected Alchemist, while she was...

After a long while, remembering that Lin Feng had been eager to break through to Dou Master these past few days, she turned to him and asked curiously, "Lin Feng, why do you want to become stronger?"

"Hmm?"

Wiping his mouth, Lin Feng put down the empty bowl in his hand and looked at Xiao Yi Xian in confusion. He had not expected her to ask such a question.

Then he turned somewhat blankly toward the fire before him, watching the wood crackle beneath the flames.

After transmigrating, he had only wanted to use his advantages to find some treasures, then buy an estate somewhere suitable and take several wives and concubines so he could live a better life.

But after Xiao Yan forcibly bought the Sucking Palm from him, he had begun to crave power more and more.

After pondering for a while, he gave a bitter smile. "I don't know either. Maybe... so I won't be bullied."

Rolling her eyes at him, Xiao Yi Xian said irritably, "The moment you met me, you were already shouting about fighting and killing. With that personality, who would dare bully you?"

Lin Feng's mouth twitched. Somewhat speechless, he said, "Why do you keep bringing that up?"

Then, recalling what had happened in Wutan City, Lin Feng sighed softly. "Over a year ago, I happened to get my hands on a Profound Tier Fighting Skill. But the Young Clan Leader of another family discovered it. He threatened me afterward, and with no other choice, I agreed to his terms and sold it to him for a hundred Gold Coins."

"That person was too awful! He actually forced you to sell a Profound Tier Fighting Skill for a hundred Gold Coins!"

Xiao Yi Xian tilted her head slightly and looked at the dejected Lin Feng. She had not expected him to have gone through something like that.

"So I have to become stronger before I can get revenge. As for now, it's time to sleep. Tomorrow, I'll try refining a Second-grade Qi Recovery Pill. Remember to come watch."

He glanced at the moon, saw that it was already late, and entered the thatched hut to rest.

"Becoming stronger means you won't be bullied..."

Recalling the contents of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, Xiao Yi Xian murmured softly.

"Xiao Yi Xian, I'm going to refine pills. Aren't you coming to watch?"

Early the next morning, Lin Feng stepped out of the thatched hut and found Xiao Yi Xian's door still tightly shut. Feeling rather strange, since she was usually so eager, he called out toward her hut.

After a while, Xiao Yi Xian still did not respond. Lin Feng suddenly looked up. "Could it be..."

He rushed a few steps to the side, picked up a piece of firewood, and used it to push open the wooden door of Xiao Yi Xian's hut. A large amount of gray smoke immediately drifted out from inside.

Even from several meters away, Lin Feng still felt somewhat unwell and hurriedly retreated several steps.

Looking at the pitted front end of the firewood, which had been corroded by the poisonous mist, he could not help clicking his tongue.

This Calamity Poison Body was no joke!

After the smoke in the room had completely dispersed, Lin Feng swallowed an Antidote Pill and walked in.

His gaze swept over the room, where Xiao Yi Xian lay on the bed with her eyes tightly shut.

Her once rosy face was now suffused with a strange seven-colored hue.

"So it really has awakened."

He picked up the seven-colored scroll from the floor, skimmed past the poison formulas at the beginning, and came to the final passage.

"The Calamity Poison Body is a strange poison constitution capable of rapidly increasing one's strength by consuming poisons. The way to identify a Calamity Poison Body is that a thin seven-colored hidden line grows on the lower abdomen. This seven-colored line will grow along with the concentration of poison power contained in the body. When it extends to the heart, the Calamity Poison Body will reach its strongest state, but at the same time, it will suffer the agony of countless poisons devouring the body."

After reading it, he placed the scroll on the small table in the middle of the room. Then he sat on a wooden stool nearby, watching over Xiao Yi Xian as he waited for her to wake.

As time passed, the seven-colored tint on Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks gradually faded.

After a long while, Xiao Yi Xian, whose eyes had been tightly shut on the bed, finally slowly opened them.

Her jade-like hand moved slightly. Glancing at the pitch-black poison from the corner of her eyes, bitterness gradually appeared on her lips.

A moment later, that bitterness deepened. Xiao Yi Xian suddenly pulled the blanket over her face, and intermittent sobs came from beneath it.

"I couldn't control it again... I'm truly awful."

Sitting in the chair and listening to those faint, gentle sobs, Lin Feng felt somewhat heavy-hearted as well.

He hoped Xiao Yi Xian would awaken her constitution, because with their relationship, he would have a powerful backing a few years from now.

Yet he also did not want to see the expression on Xiao Yi Xian's face at this moment. Perhaps he was simply trying to have it both ways.

He slowly stood up, sat beside the bed, and gently patted Xiao Yi Xian's body beneath the blanket.

Sensing someone touch her, she abruptly threw off the blanket and looked at the young man sitting by the bed.
