Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes widened as she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "How did you get in?"
"I came in while you were unconscious." Lin Feng smiled gently.
Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face changed slightly. The black poison clenched in her hand quietly slipped beneath the blanket.
A moment later, as if remembering something, she hurriedly asked, "You didn't touch me, did you?"
Lin Feng teased, "If I'd really wanted to take advantage of you, I would've done it back in the Monster Mountain Range. By now, you'd be at least two months pregnant."
"No, that's not what I mean... I mean... you didn't come into contact with my body, did you?"
Her pretty face instantly flushed crimson. Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly waved her hands and spoke softly.
"Haha, don't worry."
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian so flustered that she could barely speak, Lin Feng stopped teasing her.
Only then did Xiao Yi Xian let out a sigh of relief and draw up her slender jade legs.
Resting her snowy-white chin on her knees, she said quietly, "I'm fine. There was just a problem while I was preparing medicine."
"You've activated the Calamity Poison Body. You'll need to be more careful from now on. Some factions like collecting people with unusual constitutions like yours."
Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yi Xian froze before her delicate body suddenly tensed. Her pretty face turned unsightly as she stared at him. "H-how do you know?"
"Look at this. Besides, don't forget that I'm an Alchemist. Naturally, I know more than ordinary people."
Lin Feng picked up the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture from the table and gave it a shake, then brought up his identity as an Alchemist again.
That would make it more reasonable when he later revealed other information about the Calamity Poison Body.
Xiao Yi Xian gave a desolate smile at his words, biting her rosy lips tightly. "Then you're afraid of me too, aren't you?"
Looking at the girl before him, who had become somewhat insecure because of the Calamity Poison Body, Lin Feng stepped forward and gently wiped the tears from Xiao Yi Xian's tender cheeks.
With a warm smile on his lips, he gently pulled her into his embrace and said softly, "If I were afraid, I would've run away by myself just now. Don't you know how I feel about you?"
For the first time in her life, she was held in a man's arms. Her delicate body instantly stiffened, and she instinctively began to struggle.
Lin Feng placed one hand on her back and wrapped the other around her alluring slender waist, increasing his strength slightly until their bodies pressed completely together.
With her head buried against Lin Feng's chest, Xiao Yi Xian felt the masculine scent radiating from him, and her body could not help but go limp.
"Have you really thought this through? I'm a Poison Master, someone hated by everyone on the continent."
After a long while, Xiao Yi Xian's muffled voice drifted from Lin Feng's embrace.
Feeling the soft, delicate body in his arms, Lin Feng said, "Hehe, I don't care about that. Besides, the Calamity Poison Body isn't impossible to control."
After a long silence, Xiao Yi Xian's voice came again. "Stop lying to me. The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture clearly says that there's no solution for the Calamity Poison Body."
Lin Feng shook his head with a smile. "Not necessarily. Although that senior was stronger than me, he might not have known more about the Calamity Poison Body than I do."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian thought that, as an Alchemist, Lin Feng might really have read about it in some ancient texts.
Hope immediately flared within her. She abruptly raised her little head, looked at Lin Feng, and urgently asked, "What method?"
After soothing her emotions, he replied, "As far as I know, there are two ways to resolve the Calamity Poison Body: the Poison Pill Method and the Netherworld Poison Fire!"
Xiao Yi Xian heard this and carefully searched through everything she had learned in her mind.
After a long time, she still found no information about either of them and asked in confusion, "The Poison Pill Method and the Netherworld Poison Fire? What are those?"
"As far as I know, the Poison Pill Method requires three things. First, three Heavenly Flames. Second, the magic core of a Seventh-Rank Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. Third, Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. However, the Poison Pill Method is in the hands of an old fox. If I get the chance, I'll find a way to get it for you. As for the second method... it's my own guess."
After pondering for a while, Lin Feng said uncertainly, "I suspect that the essence of a Calamity Poison Body outbreak is that absorbing vast quantities of poison causes the toxins in its owner's body to grow too quickly. As a result, the growth rate of the owner's physical body falls far behind the growth rate of the toxins within."
"And the Netherworld Poison Fire, ranked twentieth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, uses all kinds of toxins as nourishment. If we can use it to absorb the excess toxins in your body, I think it should be able to control the Calamity Poison Body's outbreaks."
As Xiao Yi Xian listened, her initially hopeful expression became even more disappointed.
She did not know what Heavenly Flames or Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva were, but she knew about Seventh Tier Magical Beasts.
Those were Magical Beasts equivalent to human Dou Zong. There was probably not even a single expert of that level in the entire Jia Ma Empire.
To her, obtaining the magic core of a Seventh Tier Magical Beast was harder than climbing to the heavens!
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's expression, Lin Feng stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry. I'll help you. And for you, as long as you have enough poison, advancing to Dou Zong won't be difficult."
"You're a noble Alchemist, while I'm destined to become a Poison Master everyone wants to beat to death. Is helping me really worth it?"
Lin Feng grasped Xiao Yi Xian's shoulders with both hands and said solemnly, "In my eyes, whether it's a Poison Master or anything else, power itself is not a sin. The only ones guilty are those who wield it!"
At his words, Xiao Yi Xian took the initiative to rest her head against Lin Feng's chest. After a long while, her soft, distant voice finally sounded. "Thank you."
Looking at the little beauty in his arms, Lin Feng could not help feeling a trace of gratitude toward the Calamity Poison Body. If it had not made Xiao Yi Xian insecure,
he really would not have found it so easy to reach this point with her.
He held her delicate body tighter and said softly, "Do we really need to say such things between us? Right now, what you need to do is raise your cultivation level. After all, those things won't be easy to obtain."
Ever since Xiao Yi Xian activated the Calamity Poison Body, her Dou Qi level had soared day by day. In just over two months, she had advanced to Dou Master before Lin Feng, who was at the peak of Dou Zhe.
One had to know that Xiao Yi Xian had only advanced to Dou Zhe shortly before Lin Feng fought Mu She. Only around three months had passed since then.
Even members of the Ancient Race would likely fall far short of such speed.
Seeing this, Lin Feng, who had been stuck for over two months without breaking through to Dou Master, was so envious that his eyes turned red.
However, he had not gained nothing over the past two months. Not long ago, he and Xiao Yi Xian had officially confirmed their relationship.
One morning, in a cave within the valley, Lin Feng took out a medicine cauldron under Xiao Yi Xian's watchful gaze.
He then took out, one by one from his Storage Ring, the medicinal ingredients needed for alchemy and placed them beside him.
He slowly closed his eyes and reviewed the pill recipe for the pill he was about to refine, as well as the necessary heat control for the refinement process.
Then he slowly opened his eyes and skillfully poured Dou Qi into the fire opening of the medicine cauldron.
Boom.
As a muffled sound came from within the medicine cauldron, blazing flames immediately surged and burned inside it, rapidly turning the originally cool cave scorching hot.
