Growing Strong Through Notes Is True Strength

"Yes, Xiao Yi Xian possessed the Woeful Poison Body."

"She was originally a physician I had found for the family, and because of..."

Xiao Ting sat down on a stone bench nearby and slowly recounted how he had met Xiao Yi Xian, as well as how she had accidentally awakened her constitution because of the medicinal pill Xun'er had given her.

After listening, Yao Lao's gaze turned complicated. As if recalling something, he murmured, "You and that little girl from the Gu Clan happened to encounter her just as she awakened. That was fate as well."

"The Woeful Poison Body is not so easy to resolve. Even the force behind your little girlfriend may not necessarily have a solution."

"Even if they do, it would be difficult to move them without sufficient benefits."

Yao Lao could not help recalling his own experience after encountering a bearer of the Woeful Poison Body back then.

At that time, he had only been at the peak of the Dou Zong realm, but his alchemy had already reached Eighth Rank, placing him among the finest on the continent.

He had met that person while competing for an exceptionally rare Eighth Rank poisonous flower. It was a case of becoming acquainted through a fight.

The pride of a Yao Clan member ran in his bones, and upon seeing the Woeful Poison Body, he developed the desire to crack its secret.

That bearer of the Woeful Poison Body wished to survive, so she did not mind letting him study her in depth.

Yet until that bearer of the Woeful Poison Body fell, he had never found a solution.

Only after becoming Venerable Yao, when he stood just one step away from Ninth Rank and had obtained the Fen Jue, did he finally conceive the Poison Pill Method.

As for those Di Clans possessing a solution, he did not truly believe it. Even if they did, it would require an enormous price and offer almost no return.

Otherwise, considering how easily the Woeful Poison Body could be cultivated, its bearers would have been taken away by the great Di Clans the moment they appeared.

"Teacher, what kind of constitution is this Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"This constitution..." Yao Lao began to explain.

"It's that absurd?" After hearing him out, Xiao Yan clicked his tongue. "It actually grows stronger just by consuming poison? If an expert wanted to raise a bearer of the Woeful Poison Body, wouldn't gathering a mountain of poisons to feed them allow them to grow rapidly?"

"In theory, that is indeed the case." Yao Lao nodded slightly, though his tone remained wistful. "But on the Dou Qi Continent, there are almost no poisons capable of harming a Dou Zun expert, let alone a Dou Sheng. Therefore, feeding poisons can only help a bearer of the Woeful Poison Body rapidly grow to the Dou Zong realm."

"And once the toxins accumulated within a bearer of the Woeful Poison Body reach a certain point, ten thousand poisons will devour their heart, causing them to explode and die. Without resolving that problem, rapid cultivation is merely a death warrant."

"The best approach is to find a way to perfectly control the constitution upon reaching the peak of Dou Zong, then use the momentum to break through to Dou Zun."

"Afterward, normal cultivation supplemented by poisons to raise one's cultivation will still offer greater potential than an ordinary prodigy."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan revealed a speechless expression. "Teacher, that's a Dou Zong expert. The entire Jia Ma Empire does not even have one."

Yao Chen: "..."

At his peak, a Dou Zong did not even qualify to have him refine pills for them.

Unless they could produce top-grade heavenly treasures.

"Then Teacher, does even the Woeful Poison Body have no solution for you?" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed, and hope entered his voice.

This Xiao Yi Xian had already become Xiao Ting's guard.

As long as the Xiao Clan went all out in feeding her poisons, perhaps she could not grow into a Dou Zun, but rapidly reaching Dou Ling or even Dou Wang would not be a problem.

At that point, the Xiao Clan would return to the status it had held ten years ago, and he could worry less about his family, especially his father.

His cousin Xiao Ting's safety would also be guaranteed.

Of course, that depended on Yao Lao having a way to help Xiao Yi Xian. Otherwise, the faster she grew stronger, the faster she would die. The matter still had to be controlled.

"Hehe, I truly do have a method." Yao Lao suddenly gave Xiao Yan a deep look, then glanced at Xiao Ting. After hesitating slightly, he said, "The prerequisite is controlling more than three types of Heavenly Flames. I will not tell you about it for now."

"Even if I told you, you would not have the strength to carry it out."

Xiao Ting had long guessed that Yao Lao would not explain in detail, since it involved the Fen Jue.

Without cultivating the Fen Jue, theoretically no cultivator on the Dou Qi Continent could control three kinds of Heavenly Flames at once, unless one was Xiao Xuan.

"Senior, just because we cannot do it does not mean Xun'er cannot." After careful consideration, Xiao Ting said, "You do not need to tell me the exact process, but you can tell me the other requirements first. For example, whether any materials or medicinal pills are needed. Perhaps Xun'er can help gather them."

"Then, if we find three Heavenly Flames in the future, we can help Xiao Yi Xian."

Yao Lao: ?

He had not expected Xiao Ting to say something like "ask Xun'er for help" so naturally and without any burden.

Was he not afraid that this would lower Xun'er's opinion of him? Was he not afraid of being looked down upon by the force behind her?

If it had been Yao Chen, he absolutely would not have been able to put aside his pride like that.

Yet puzzled as he was, everyone had their own life and fate. He did not ask further or offer unsolicited advice, instead giving the answer. "Gather the magic core of a Tier 7 Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast in advance, as well as the heavenly treasure Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva."

"This junior will remember it." Xiao Ting nodded seriously.

With the important matter settled, Xiao Yan handed a scroll back to Xiao Ting. "Little Ting, this is yours."

It was the High Xuan Tier Flight Dou Technique, Purple Cloud Wings.

"I cannot use it yet. You should cultivate it yourself." Xiao Yan's tone was serious.

"I cannot use it." Xiao Ting smiled faintly. "Brother Yan, I have something better."

"Something better?" Xiao Yan frowned, suspicion in his eyes. "You are not lying to me just to make me cultivate it, are you?"

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Ting lightly shook his head, wearing an expression that said not to flatter himself. "You are my third brother, not Xun'er. I am not that selflessly devoted."

"Your Flight Dou Technique was made using a Fifth Rank magical beast."

"I still have blank scrolls. I can ask the senior beside Xun'er to help make one for me using a Sixth Rank magical beast."

"I only gave it to you because I cannot use it. Do not be too touched."

Xiao Yan: "..."

Although I knew you were deliberately saying that to make me accept your goodwill.

I still wanted to beat you up after hearing it!

Oh, I could not beat him for now. Forget it.

"You and this soft rice..." Xiao Yan did not know what to say for a moment.

Why did this brat ask Xun'er for help with everything?

Was he not afraid of being looked down upon by Xun'er and her family?

As if guessing Xiao Yan's thoughts, Xiao Ting smiled faintly. "Brother, strength gives you everything. Weakness is the original sin."

"If you are afraid that Xun'er and her family will look down on me, then work hard and become stronger. Protect me."

"Whether I can stand tall in the future will depend entirely on you."

"As long as you are strong enough, I can stand tall."

When Xiao Ting was out in the world, he relied on two people.

In the early stage, he relied on his wife, Xun'er.

In the later stage, he relied on the Endless Fire Territory's favor.

Of course, if the Notes proved useful, then he would rely purely on the Notes.

Others relied on cultivating by themselves to improve their cultivation and hone their Dou Techniques, leaving their realms flimsy and their Dou Techniques ordinary.

Unlike him, who relied on the Notes to steadily improve his cultivation and Dou Techniques step by step. Only then was his realm solid and his Dou Techniques well-founded.

The difference was obvious!
