Seven-Colored Poison Scripture

"Look at me!"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian in this state, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry, pulling her hands away.

Xiao Yi Xian stared at him fixedly, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Do I look like a fool to you?" Xiao Yu asked with a straight face.

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head.

Then, she realized that her previous behavior was akin to burying her head in the sand, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

"Xiao Yu, I promise I won't tell anyone about your affairs. Can I swear an oath to you?" Xiao Yi Xian said pitifully.

Xiao Yu shook his head. "I don't believe in oaths. If you want me not to kill you to silence you, it's simple: stay by my side from now on. Only by keeping an eye on you can I know if you're spreading my business around."

Pausing for a moment, his expression turned serious. "You've lived in Green Mountain Town for so long; you should know how much of a sensation it would cause if word got out that someone advanced from a three-star Dou Practitioner to a Dou Master in less than a year."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded repeatedly.

If such a thing were to spread, it wouldn't just cause a sensation; it would bring all sorts of trouble.

Especially given Xiao Yu's history—going from the third stage of Dou Force to a three-star Dou Practitioner in just one year—it had already piqued the curiosity of many.

If they were to find out that Xiao Yu had advanced to a Dou Master in less than a year, people would surely become suspicious and wonder if he possessed some kind of treasure.

The Jia Ma Empire is vast; there are many good people, but there are even more villains with ill intentions.

"So, you need to be obedient. I don't want a pretty girl like you to die."

Xiao Yu threatened her in a cold tone.

Next, the two began searching for the cave dwelling, which didn't take much time.

As they approached, a second-order magical beast suddenly lunged out. Xiao Yi Xian was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she let out a scream, nearly losing her grip on the vines and falling.

At the critical moment, Xiao Yu knocked the beast down with a single punch and grabbed Xiao Yi Xian's hand.

Upon reaching the platform outside the cave entrance, Xiao Yi Xian still looked shaken.

After a little effort, the cave entrance was opened, and the two walked inside.

A large pile of thriving medicinal herbs in the corner made Xiao Yi Xian's eyes light up, and she ran over happily.

"Cough, cough..."

At this moment, Xiao Yu's coughing sound came from behind Xiao Yi Xian, and her footsteps faltered.

Facing Xiao Yi Xian's gaze, Xiao Yu said, "Someone just said upstairs that they didn't want anything in the cave dwelling, remember?"

Xiao Yi Xian's face immediately fell. "Can't you at least share a little bit with me?"

She was the one who found this cave, after all!

"I'm just teasing you. You can have it all, alright?" Xiao Yu laughed.

"Really? Xiao Yu, you are such a good person!" Xiao Yi Xian cheered.

Xiao Yu continued to smile, "Anyway, you belong to me now, so aren't your things mine as well?"

"Hmph!"

Xiao Yi Xian puffed out her cheeks, her teeth clicking together as if she wished she could bite the young man to pieces.

He was simply too hateful!

Ignoring Xiao Yu, Xiao Yi Xian gathered up all the medicinal herbs.

Afterward, their gazes fell upon three boxes sitting beside a skeleton.

Xiao Yi Xian found the key and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Stepping forward, Xiao Yu opened them all at once.

Xiao Yi Xian had been worried about whether there might be danger in the boxes and wanted to warn him, but Xiao Yu was too fast.

Why aren't there any poison arrows? Xiao Yi Xian thought with a hint of disappointment upon discovering there was no danger at all.

"Three scrolls. Good stuff," Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yi Xian ran to his side. "Let me see what they are."

Xiao Yu tossed one over casually, and Xiao Yi Xian, scrambling to catch it, glared at him indignantly.

These might be treasures left behind by a predecessor; to toss them around so carelessly—what if they fell to the ground and got damaged, making them impossible to cultivate?

Seeing that Xiao Yu was ignoring her, Xiao Yi Xian began to examine them on her own.

The first one she opened was a black scroll, on which was written—Xuan-tier Advanced Flight Dou Technique: Eagle Wings.

"A flight Dou Technique? What is that?"

This was the first time Xiao Yi Xian had heard of such a Dou Technique.

Generally, Dou Techniques were divided into offensive, defensive, and movement types.

She set it aside and checked the other cyan scroll.

Xuan-tier Advanced Dou Technique, Mad Lion Roar.

"Another Dou Technique scroll." Xiao Yi Xian was somewhat surprised.

Both were of the Xuan-tier Advanced level.

If Dou Techniques of this rank were to appear in Green Mountain Town, they would absolutely trigger a frantic scramble, potentially even leading to a bloodbath.

"What a pity, these two techniques are useless to me." Shaking her head in regret, Xiao Yi Xian turned her gaze to the final scroll.

This was a scroll with a seven-colored surface.

"Seven-Colored Poison Scripture?" Xiao Yi Xian was stunned, and she slowly opened it.

"Woe Poison Body, a peculiar poisonous constitution capable of rapidly increasing strength by consuming poison. The method to identify the Woe Poison Body: a thin, seven-colored line appears on the lower abdomen..."

Just as Xiao Yi Xian was reading with intense focus, the scroll in her hands was suddenly snatched away.

"I haven't finished reading yet, give it back!" Xiao Yi Xian reached out to grab it.

Xiao Yu did not return it, instead stowing all three scrolls into his Storage Ring, along with the medicinal herbs.

"Let's go, escort me to Soul-Severing Ravine." Tossing the whistle back to Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yu walked toward the cave entrance.

Inside the cave, aside from the herbs, scrolls, and some gold, Xiao Yu spared nothing; he even pried the Moonstones off the walls.

Xiao Yi Xian followed behind him, her expression dazed, her mind replaying the passage she had just read.

A seven-colored line... don't I have one on my lower abdomen?

Could it be that I have the Woe Poison Body?

Damn it, I didn't even finish reading the rest before it was snatched away.

Xiao Yi Xian glared fiercely at Xiao Yu's back.

"What are you still standing there for?" Seeing Xiao Yi Xian walking beside him without moving, Xiao Yu urged her on.

Xiao Yi Xian said, "I want to discuss something with you, see if it's possible?"

"You want to see the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture?" Xiao Yu looked at her with a smirk.

He guessed it?

Xiao Yi Xian was slightly startled, then nodded, "There is something very important to me written on it."

"But if I recall correctly, you have always hoped to become an alchemist, and the contents of the Poison Scripture are entirely related to poison masters."

Xiao Yu asked.

"Becoming an alchemist isn't that easy." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes dimmed.

Xiao Yu said, "Don't be so absolute. There is a saying that a master leads you through the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. Perhaps I have a way."

"You?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at him with suspicion.

"Hey, don't look at me with those eyes. Is my word really that lacking in credibility?" Xiao Yu said loudly.

Although Xiao Yi Xian didn't speak this time, she nodded very vigorously.

"I am also an alchemist; all those medicines in the Xiao Clan came from my hands." Xiao Yu held his head high, looking at Xiao Yi Xian, "If you take me as your master, I can teach you."

Xiao Yi Xian took out the whistle and blew it hard; the sharp sound echoed through the mountain forest.

To become an alchemist, it wasn't as simple as just having a master lead the way; one also had to possess the aptitude.

She knew very well that she lacked that aptitude.

"What will it take for you to let me see the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture?" Xiao Yi Xian asked.

"Forget it, I won't let you see it."

Xiao Yu's tone was resolute.

Cultivating the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture would turn one into a poison person. Such a beautiful girl—not only would she suffer if she cultivated that thing, but she would also be shunned by others.

He didn't want Xiao Yi Xian to become that kind of person.

That's right, I definitely don't have designs on her body!
