Refinement Successful

Just as the poison fire within Xiao Yixian's body reached a critical point, Yao Chen quickly prompted, "Er, now! Take the Pulse-Protecting Pill and stabilize your meridians!"

With immense willpower, Xiao Yixian suddenly opened her eyes. Though her gaze was filled with pain, it was exceptionally clear.

Without hesitation, she popped the smooth Pulse-Protecting Pill she had been holding into her mouth!

The pill dissolved instantly, and a warm, powerful, yet incredibly resilient medicinal force transformed into countless streams of warmth. Like the most loyal guards, they surged into her limbs and bones, firmly attaching themselves to the walls of all her meridians, forming a tough protective film!

In an instant, the tearing sensation in her meridians, which had felt like being cut by knives and pricked by needles, was reduced by more than half!

Her meridians were now solidly protected, with no fear of further damage.

However, the burning sensation that seared her soul remained intense, making it almost impossible for her to concentrate on circulating the fire-controlling technique.

"Take the Ice Spirit Pill! Dissolve the heat poison!" Yao Chen's guidance rang out again in time.

Xiao Yixian immediately swallowed another Ice Spirit Pill, which emanated a chilling aura.

The extreme heat that threatened to ignite her soul was instantly transformed from unbearable torment. Though still present, it no longer brought pain, and even cleared her muddled mind!

Now is the time!

A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Yixian's eyes. Seizing the precious moment when the Ice Spirit Pill's effects erupted and the heat poison was temporarily "tamed," she fully activated the basic fire-controlling technique and, without reservation, unleashed the Woeful Poison Body Origin hidden deep within her dantian!

"Boom!"

A deeper, more terrifying, and destructive grey-purple poison power erupted from the depths of her body like a breached flood, carrying an absolute aura of dominance as it fiercely counterattacked the Nether Poison Dragon Fire that was still struggling!

The Nether Poison Dragon Fire was no match for the fully unleashed Calamity Poison Body Origin!

Its scorching poison was instantly and madly devoured and assimilated by the more potent grey-purple poison!

Xiao Yixian controlled the situation, guiding the grey-purple poison like weaving a net, enveloping, compressing, and refining the dark green flame layer by layer.

The process became smooth and efficient.

But at this moment, the Nether Poison Dragon Fire seemed to sense its doom and launched a final counterattack. A point of extreme heat poison at its core suddenly contracted and then exploded.

"Summon the cold spring, suppress!" Yao Chen, who was watching closely, immediately shouted.

Xiao Yixian's mind stirred, and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring Essence Pearl she had carefully placed beside her trembled slightly. A thread of energy, as fine as a hair but extremely pure, separated and instantly entered her body.

As this thread of extreme cold energy entered, it instantly suppressed and smoothed the final counterattack of the Nether Poison Dragon Fire's heat poison with the majesty of absolute zero!

Like boiling water on snow, all agitation instantly subsided!

Under this triple safeguard (meridian protection from the Pulse-Protecting Pill, affinity from the Ice Spirit Pill, and suppression from the Cold Spring Essence), the refinement was no longer in doubt.

In her dantian, the dark green Nether Poison Dragon Fire completely gave up its resistance. Its color rapidly shifted to a deeper dark green, finally transforming into a docile, obedient, and constantly flickering dark green flame. At the core of the flame, a trace of the grey-purple Calamity Poison Body Origin power resided like a monarch, completely subduing it.

Success!

Xiao Yixian let out a long breath carrying dark green poisonous mist, her tightly closed eyes suddenly snapping open!

A deep dark green light flashed in her eyes before disappearing. She slowly opened her right hand.

"Pfft!"

A cluster of dark green flames instantly rose from her palm, flickering obediently. The heat and poison were perfectly blended, under her command!

The surrounding temperature rose slightly under her precise control, yet not a single bit of power leaked out!

At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from her body!

The energy feedback from successfully refining the Beast Fire, the natural nourishment from activating the Woeful Poison Body Origin, and the residual gentle medicinal power from the Ice Spirit Pill and Pulse-Protecting Pill—these three forces combined, causing her Dou Qi cultivation to skyrocket!

One-star Spirit Practitioner!

Two-star Spirit Practitioner!

Three-star Spirit Practitioner!

Her aura finally stabilized steadily at the level of a Three-star Spirit Practitioner!

"I succeeded! I really succeeded!" Xiao Yixian felt the controlled poison fire in her palm and the surging Dou Qi power within her, far exceeding anything before. She was so excited she couldn't contain herself, tears streaming from her beautiful eyes—tears of joy and release!

"Good! Excellent!" Yao Chen stroked his beard and laughed heartily, immensely pleased. "The pills and cold spring were used perfectly! Your resolve was decisive, and your timing was precise! Er, you have truly embarked on the path to controlling your own destiny!"

Xiao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face. "Congratulations, Xiao Yixian!"

Xiao Yixian quickly stood up and first bowed deeply to Lin Hai, her voice trembling with emotion, "Thank you! If not for you retrieving this Beast Fire, the medicinal ingredients, and the crucial cold spring, Er would never have achieved this today! Er will never forget your kindness!" She then bowed solemnly to Yao Chen, "Thank you, Teacher, for your dedicated protection and guidance!"

Lin Hai looked at the cluster of dark green poison fire in her palm, which she could control at will. He nodded slightly, his eyes filled with even greater approval. "You used your heart well and borrowed its power effectively. You've done better than I imagined. This flame will be the cornerstone of your path to becoming an alchemist master, and even a grandmaster. Familiarize yourself with it, control it, and only then can you command the true Nether Poison Fire in the future."

Receiving Lin Hai's affirmation, Xiao Yixian's heart was filled with boundless motivation and warmth. She nodded vigorously, "Er will remember and will not disappoint!"

She looked down at the flickering poison fire in her palm, her eyes shining with a determined and brilliant light.

This path of the Woeful Poison Body, once considered a dead end by countless people, had finally ignited the fire of hope under the complete safeguards prepared by Lin Hai and her own resilience, illuminating the road ahead.
