Blessings Are Tempting! Xun'er: Xiao Ting Got Off Easy

"Don't disappoint me." Expectation gleamed in Zi Yan's golden eyes.

As usual, she had been wandering through the back mountain of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy tonight, marking or taking any heavenly treasures she found.

But tonight, her luck seemed poor. She had wandered around for a long time without discovering anything.

Just as she decided to soak in an underground hot spring to wash away her bad luck, an ancient book suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked her path.

Before she could test it, the ancient book transformed into a streak of light and entered the depths of her soul, flooding her with endless information.

For once, she quietly and seriously finished reading "a book," and formed her own understanding of the Notes.

That was, Xiao Ting knew her true identity and origins.

World Observer, Plane Blessing, Strange Fire Firmament, top-tier talent—she did not care about any of it. None of it was edible.

She only knew that Xiao Ting understood the Dou Qi Continent extremely well and knew her, a "character from a storybook."

"I want to know who I really am and where I came from."

"I want to know whether I'm an orphan. If I'm not, where are my parents?"

"Ever since I could remember, I've been in the back mountain of Jia Nan Academy, bullied by those powerful magical beasts and suffering so much. Why did my parents never appear?"

"I want to know everything."

Zi Yan looked carefree and careless, but she had her own obsession deep in her heart.

Before, she had not known whom to ask. Even Su Qian, who had brought her back to Jia Nan Academy, knew nothing about her past. No matter how confused or doubtful she was, she could only bury it in her heart.

Now that someone like Xiao Ting had appeared, she could not endure it any longer.

Rustle, rustle~

The moon was dark and the wind was fierce, making the leaves tremble.

Past midnight, the Notes foretold the future.

Plane Blessing: [Seven days of cultivation experience with the Heaven Drawing Dragon Transformation Seal]

Xiao Ting's proficiency with this Low Earth Tier Dou Technique increased considerably once more. Combined with the experience he had accumulated through his own training lately, he naturally reached the major mastery stage.

Now, he could unleash the third layer of the Dragon Transformation Seal.

"Not bad. Keep going."

Xiao Ting grinned, unable to pull himself away from cultivation.

At the same time, in the Northern Region of the Central Plains.

Feng Qing'er, who had just left the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range and was cultivating in a certain city, opened her eyes.

Plane Blessing: [At the end of the southern mountain range of the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range, a Wind Lightning Spirit Fruit nurtured by the energy of heaven and earth will emerge in one day. It will happen to be trapped within the Wind Lightning Spirit Transformation Array set up by the Wind Lightning Pavilion. No one will notice it for seven days, and in the end, it will return to heaven and earth and be absorbed by the Wind Lightning Spirit Transformation Array.]

"A good thing." Feng Qing'er prepared to change her route and obtain the Wind Lightning Spirit Fruit first.

The Wind Lightning Spirit Transformation Array was not an especially brilliant formation. The Wind Lightning Pavilion had set up dozens of them throughout the Wind and Thunder Mountain Range to consolidate and devour wind and lightning energy, making the wind- and lightning-attributed energy of heaven and earth within the mountain range denser and more suitable for wind- and lightning-attributed cultivators.

For the Wind Lightning Spirit Fruit to be devoured by the Wind Lightning Spirit Transformation Array would simply be a waste of a heavenly treasure.

"So this is what it means to be a courier of opportunities."

Feng Qing'er gained a fresh and clear understanding of Plane Blessings.

Meanwhile, in Xun'er's courtyard within the Xiao Clan.

In the main bedroom, Xun'er sat cross-legged on the large bed and cultivated.

A message came from the Notebook Copy.

Plane Blessing: [The perfect fusion progress of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame has increased by a trace.]

Xun'er did not know exactly how much that trace amounted to.

But with enough accumulation, even drops of water could pierce stone. Sooner or later, she would achieve perfect fusion.

Fusion was certainly different from refining. Since the Notebook Copy regarded it as a blessing, it was bound to bring many benefits.

"I wonder what Sister Xiao Yi Xian has gained." Xun'er opened her eyes and looked toward the guest room.

The next moment, her pupils contracted. The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame emerged from within her body on its own, forming a protective layer around her.

"Poison!?"

Xun'er's expression changed slightly. She immediately got out of bed and headed through the spreading poisonous mist to find Xiao Yi Xian.

At the same time, she did not forget to give an order. "Seal off the space around my courtyard."

"Yes, Miss." Ling Qing's voice sounded beside Xun'er's ear.

Under the night sky, an invisible spatial fluctuation appeared and enveloped Xun'er's courtyard, creating a unique barrier.

"Hm?"

In a courtyard not far from Xun'er's, Yao Lao was using a secret method within the ring to devour spiritual energy and restore his soul power when confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Was that an illusion?"

After thinking briefly, Yao Lao stopped paying attention.

Spatial sealing was a method only High Dou Zongs could employ.

If someone from the Xiao Clan had truly used such a method, it was certainly related to that girl from the Gu Clan.

He was only a remnant soul now. Faced with such an expert, there was nothing he could do.

Bang!

Xun'er hurriedly pushed open the guest room door and rushed inside. With a sweep of her gaze, she immediately noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Yi Xian.

Her originally rosy, fair face was now tinted with an extremely strange rainbow color, while her red lips carried an enchanting purple hue.

Her long black hair had turned silver, seeming to glow beneath the moonlight. Her already lovely features had become exceptionally exquisite.

"Her Woeful Poison Body has completely awakened!" Xun'er immediately realized.

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian opened her eyes. The rainbow-colored markings covering her face and entire body faded away, all sinking into her lower abdomen, where faint rainbow colors flickered.

Her black eyes had turned gray. Xiao Yi Xian keenly sensed Xun'er's gaze and turned to look at her.

"Three Plane Blessings stacked together. My Woeful Poison Body has undergone a Perfect Awakening." Xiao Yi Xian told Xun'er of her gains, her tone joyful.

"Perfect Awakening?" Xun'er noticed Xiao Yi Xian's wording, and a smile returned to her face. "What's special about it?"

"Normally, the Woeful Poison Body awakens passively during sleep after enough poison has accumulated from consuming toxic substances," Xiao Yi Xian explained. "Although it releases poisonous gas to form protection, a Da Dou Shi capable of forming Dou Qi Armor could still approach and take my life."

"After a passive awakening, the desire to consume poison grows stronger and stronger as more poison is eaten. Eventually, one becomes a puppet that crazily consumes poison, their mind controlled by desire. Once they can no longer find poison, they suffer from ten thousand poisons devouring their heart, and die when their body explodes in agony."

"A Perfect Awakening allows me to control that desire."

Upon hearing this, Xun'er finally understood why Xiao Yi Xian was so delighted.

Being able to control her desire to consume poison meant Xiao Yi Xian would not have to worry about losing her mind for poison, becoming a puppet controlled by the urge to devour toxins, or suddenly harming those around her when her instinctive urge to consume poison erupted in stages.

Although the restriction remained that an excessive buildup of toxins would lead to ten thousand poisons devouring her heart and her body exploding to death, for the current Xiao Yi Xian, it merely meant she could not continue increasing her cultivation through consuming poison when that time came.

If she wished to enter higher realms, she would still need to use the Poison Pill Method to perfectly control her Woeful Poison Body, or rely on the method in Xiao Ting's possession that could improve her talent and allow her to control the Woeful Poison Body.

But for Xiao Yi Xian, being able to control her desire was already an immense surprise. At the very least, this "woeful poison" had become far less woeful.

"Congratulations, Sister Xiao Yi Xian." Xun'er congratulated her sincerely.

Now that Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body had undergone a Perfect Awakening and she could control her desire to consume poison, Xun'er felt much more at ease about her staying by Xiao Ting's side.

"Thank you." Xiao Yi Xian smiled radiantly, beautiful as a celestial maiden.

Xiao Yi Xian had always been quite beautiful, with a unique temperament.

After her Woeful Poison Body's Perfect Awakening, her features became more defined and exquisite, her skin like jade, her silver hair fluttering. Her ethereal temperament now carried a trace of danger.

She had once been a rare beauty, but now she was a peerless one!

Even Xun'er was dazed for a moment as she looked at her.

When she came back to her senses, she secretly sighed. Xiao Ting got off easy.

"Sister Xiao Yi Xian, don't be in such a hurry to celebrate."

Thinking of Xiao Ting, Xun'er sighed softly. "You should first think about how you'll explain this appearance when Brother Xiao Ting sees you tomorrow."

Xiao Yi Xian:!!!
