Little Fairy Doctor's tears fell in big drops.

It was as if she saw Wang Teng die, and as if she saw Uncle and Aunt staring at her with hatred in their eyes.

It was all my fault. If I hadn't tried to awaken the Woeful Poison Body, Wang Teng wouldn't have been in danger.

"Hey." Hearing his voice, Little Fairy Doctor looked up through tear-filled eyes and saw a smile on Wang Teng's face.

"You're about to die, yet you can still smile." Little Fairy Doctor spoke sorrowfully.

Wang Teng laughed even louder. "Who told you I was going to die?"

"I have the Woeful Poison Body. Anyone who touches me will be poisoned to death." Little Fairy Doctor lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake.

Wang Teng calmly said, "Open your eyes and take a good look."

Little Fairy Doctor raised her head again, sweeping her gaze over him in utter shock.

Wang Teng's entire arm had originally turned purplish-black, but now the poison was receding, and the color of his arm was returning to normal.

Huh? Had the Poison Scripture lied to me?

Little Fairy Doctor was stunned.

Then what had all the pain I suffered from secretly taking poison during this time been for?

"How about it?" Wang Teng raised his blackened palm and waved it before Little Fairy Doctor's eyes a few times.

Little Fairy Doctor urgently asked, "How did you do it?"

"Don't worry about that for now. You can hand me your hand without worry now, right?" Wang Teng changed the subject.

Naturally, he could not reveal the Samadhi True Fire to outsiders.

In truth, the moment he noticed something unusual within Little Fairy Doctor's body, he had guessed it might be the poison of the Woeful Poison Body.

In the original story, possessing a Heavenly Flame was enough to cure it. Since he possessed the Samadhi True Fire, surely it could not be inferior to a Heavenly Flame.

Little Fairy Doctor obediently offered her hand and curiously asked, "What are you going to do?"

Wang Teng glanced at her. "Didn't I just say?"

Little Fairy Doctor froze for a moment before realizing what he meant. She said in astonishment, "You're going to treat me? But I'm not sick at all."

Wang Teng raised his blackened palm again. "What kind of decent person can turn others black?"

Little Fairy Doctor skeptically said, "The Poison Scripture says that once the Woeful Poison Body awakens, it cannot be stopped. Can you cure it?"

"Let's give it a try. It might hurt a little, so bear with it." Wang Teng was not actually certain either.

If his soul power had not mutated, he might not even have noticed that Little Fairy Doctor had activated her Woeful Poison Body.

Seeing Wang Teng close his eyes, Little Fairy Doctor said nothing more, though a trace of anticipation appeared in her eyes.

A large part of why she had activated the Woeful Poison Body had been curiosity. She wanted to see whether it was truly as exaggerated as the Poison Scripture described.

Yet once she truly activated it, she became directly addicted to poison, unable to restrain herself no matter how hard she tried.

Whenever she woke up, her heart was filled with fear and unease. Several times, she had wanted to leave without saying goodbye, afraid that she might somehow hurt Wang Teng's family.

Although Wang Teng sent his soul power into Little Fairy Doctor's body, he could not read her thoughts.

In his perception, black smoke was rising from every part of Little Fairy Doctor's body, gathering toward the dantian in her lower abdomen.

It was chaotic and difficult to control.

After examining it, Wang Teng got the feeling that unlike battle qi, which could be absorbed and refined, the black smoke remained in a constant state of growth.

The human body had limits. If power increased without end, it would eventually burst the body apart.

I don't know how the so-called Poison Pill Method is made.

But I should be able to refine a poison pill.

Wang Teng had great confidence in the Samadhi True Fire. With his current high-level professional abilities, refining a pill inside Little Fairy Doctor's body without harming her should not be much of a problem.

With a thought, he summoned the Samadhi True Fire and guided it through his arm into Little Fairy Doctor's body.

At that instant, Little Fairy Doctor felt her body turn scorching hot.

From Wang Teng's perspective, when the black smoke encountered the Samadhi True Fire, it tried to flee. But it could not break through Little Fairy Doctor's body and could only be obediently driven by the flames toward her dantian.

A tiny blackened vortex slowly spun.

The flames continuously compressed the black smoke's space. Gradually, the black smoke condensed into liquid. As it was compressed further, solid particles appeared.

Before long, a jet-black pill formed.

However, Wang Teng discovered that the pill could not absorb the black smoke gathering toward it.

Further modifications began.

Soon, a uniquely shaped poison pill appeared.

When Wang Teng applied force to it with the Samadhi True Fire, the poison pill slowly rotated, drawing the black smoke onto its surface.

"Little Fairy Doctor, try and see if you can use the power of the Woeful Poison Body," Wang Teng said.

Little Fairy Doctor did as he said. As she mobilized the vortex's power, the poison pill hovering above released some black smoke, which merged into the vortex.

After several tests, Wang Teng had a clear understanding and withdrew his Samadhi True Fire and soul power.

"Touch me again." Wang Teng forced out the poison and gestured for Little Fairy Doctor to touch his restored palm.

Little Fairy Doctor tapped it once. Wang Teng's palm did not change at all, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Where did my poison go?"

Wang Teng said, "Circulate your battle qi and try again."

This time, Wang Teng's palm turned black again. Just as the color began to spread, the Samadhi True Fire rushed in and expelled it.

He looked at the puzzled Little Fairy Doctor. "I refined a poison pill in your body. It will absorb the poison produced by the Woeful Poison Body. Only when you use battle qi will the poison be activated."

So I can live like a normal person and no longer need to worry about hurting others by touching them.

Joy appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's face.

Wang Teng added, "Don't celebrate too soon. I'm not done yet. The structure of this poison pill isn't very stable. Once your strength grows, it may collapse."

The corners of Little Fairy Doctor's mouth drooped.

Wang Teng spread his hands helplessly. "I'm only a Dou Master too. This is all I can manage for now. Once I become a little stronger, I should be able to resolve it completely."

"This is already very good." Little Fairy Doctor was thoroughly satisfied. "By the way, there's something I want to tell you."

Wang Teng looked at her.

"I plan to leave." Little Fairy Doctor had formed this idea two days ago.

Wang Teng asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Tonight," Little Fairy Doctor said.

That evening, after dinner, Wang Teng's parents finished sorting the pills and returned to their room to rest.

Creak.

The door to Little Fairy Doctor's room opened. She came out carrying a bundle and looked toward Wang Teng, who was reclining in a chair.

Wang Teng looked at her and waved.

Little Fairy Doctor revealed a faint smile and returned the gesture. Then she quietly climbed onto Blue Eagle's back.

Amid the sound of rushing wind, one person and one eagle vanished into the night sky.

Time passed.

Little Fairy Doctor's departure had no other impact, aside from Wang Teng being questioned by his mother for a while the next day.

Every day, Wang Teng continued refining pills as usual, earning money while improving his professional skills.

Two days later, Kato Taka finally arrived, bringing a high-level Xuan-tier fire-attribute cultivation technique called the Fire-Birthing Formula.

That same day, Ya Fei delivered the remaining medicinal ingredients for the Body-Tempering Pill.

Wang Teng refined the Body-Tempering Pill, swallowed it together with the Fire-Absorbing Pill, and cultivated using the Fire-Birthing Formula.

Heat continuously surged from his body. His limbs and bones felt as though they were soaking in a hot spring, incomparably comfortable.

The speed at which he absorbed energy from the air had clearly increased.

Wang Teng's entire body was flushed red, like a thoroughly cooked crayfish.

When he was not cultivating, neither pill caused any unusual sensations. But once he began cultivating, he distinctly felt heat and itching.

No wonder he could not take too many at once.

Otherwise, if the medicinal effects stacked, he would probably be unable to resist scratching his skin raw.

At the same time, Ya Fei began building momentum for the auction. News of the flight battle technique swiftly spread to the surrounding cities.

A few days later, in the imperial capital, at the headquarters of the Mittel Auction House, the door to an office was violently pushed open.

The old man behind the desk jolted and nearly shoved the woman in his arms into the ceiling.

The person who entered was a young man with a pale face and unfocused, listless eyes.

Yet at this moment, he was extremely excited.

"Grandfather! I have incredibly good news!" the man said excitedly to the old man.
