Great Heaven Poison Technique!

"Kill you, and the Heavenly Flame will be mine!" Yan Li sneered.

While Wu Ya was locked in battle with Jia He, Yan Li had quietly approached Green Mountain Town.

When he saw Jia He suppressing Wu Ya so thoroughly, he had initially thought survival was more important and planned to flee this damned place at once!

But just as he was about to leave, he saw that old bastard Wu Ya self-destruct. A terrifying aura swept toward him.

Yan Li cursed Wu Ya fiercely in his heart. Even in death, that old bastard had wanted to drag others down with him.

Just when Yan Li thought he was doomed beyond doubt, he saw Jia He actually use all his strength to protect Green Mountain Town!

"Ha ha ha, idiot! You protected Green Mountain Town, but you still have to die!" The dagger in Yan Li's hand glinted coldly as the aura of a peak Dou Spirit erupted!

Jia He's gaze sharpened. He reached out and caught the dagger between his fingers, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon Yan Li.

Boom!

Yan Li crashed to his knees.

Dou Qi surged from Jia He's hand, traveling along the dagger and directly shredding Yan Li's arm into a burst of bloody mist!

"Ahhh!" Yan Li clutched his ruined arm and howled in agony.

Jia He slowly rose to his feet and looked at Yan Li. "Did you really think I didn't know you were there?"

Though he was somewhat exhausted, dealing with a Dou Spirit was still effortless!

As he spoke, Jia He took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring and poured them into his mouth like beans. Their potent medicinal energy nourished the somewhat depleted meridians within him.

Inside the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall, Ya Fei and the others rushed out. Looking at Jia He anxiously, they asked, "Are you all right?"

Jia He gave her a reassuring smile before turning to Mitchell. "Is he the vice president of the Alchemist Association of the Cloudrise Empire?"

Mitchell carefully examined Yan Li, then nodded. "That's right. It's him. I've seen him once before!"

"Fine. Then kill him," Jia He said softly. With a casual wave, flames swept out and reduced Yan Li to nothingness in the blink of an eye!

After settling matters here, Jia He had Mitchell put away the Six-Winged Sky Centipede from the courtyard. He intended to study this venomous beast's poison and see whether he could refine pills specifically meant to counter it, then send them to the imperial troops stationed at the border.

Standing nearby, Little Fairy Doctor looked at the enormous, horrifying centipede, and a sudden craving rose within her heart!

It was not a craving for the centipede itself. Little Fairy Doctor knew clearly that it was a craving for deadly poison!

Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly backed away several steps. Her pretty face turned pale, and panic flickered across her expression.

Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's frightened appearance, Ya Fei assumed she had been scared by the terrifying centipede and comforted her, "It's all right. This centipede looks completely dead!"

A trace of sorrow appeared in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. She shook her head at Ya Fei and forced a smile. "I'm fine!"

Jia He also noticed that something was off about Little Fairy Doctor, but he said nothing.

Very soon, Mitchell placed the Six-Winged Sky Centipede in the center of the courtyard. Wu Ya had raised this Six-Winged Sky Centipede into a fifth-tier magical beast, its strength comparable to that of a human Dou King!

A flame of Dou Qi burst from Jia He's palm and instantly entered the Six-Winged Sky Centipede's body.

Moments later, the Six-Winged Sky Centipede had turned into a pile of powder—the extracted poison powder.

Using the poison powder, Jia He quickly prepared an antidotal liquid. After writing down the prescription, he handed it to Mitchell. "Send this medicine to the border. Those who have been poisoned will be fine after drinking it!"

Mitchell quickly left with the medicine. Some of the powerful fighters in the border army had also been poisoned, but after taking pills and relying on their formidable strength, they were still barely holding on!

Jia He then stored the remaining poison powder in a jade bottle.

Little Fairy Doctor watched from the side without speaking.

Jia He suddenly said, "Do you want this poison powder?"

Little Fairy Doctor froze slightly and looked at Jia He in astonishment. "What did you say?"

Jia He said, "You seem to want this poison powder quite badly, so I thought I'd give it to you!"

Little Fairy Doctor's face first turned pale, but she quickly calmed down. "You're really giving it to me?"

"Of course!" Jia He chuckled.

In the end, Little Fairy Doctor accepted the bottle of deadly poison. "Thank you!"

Jia He sighed. "All right, it's getting late. Time to rest!"

With that, Jia He walked into his room.

Ya Fei looked at Little Fairy Doctor. "Then shall we go rest too?"

But Little Fairy Doctor said to Ya Fei, "I—I think I left something in my old room. I need to go back for it!"

Ya Fei nodded. "Is that so? All right, then. I'll go rest first!"

Little Fairy Doctor nodded. "Okay!"

Watching Ya Fei turn and leave, Little Fairy Doctor bit her lip. Then, gripping the bottle of poison in her hand, she headed out of the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall.

Little Fairy Doctor did not notice that a figure was following behind her.

When Little Fairy Doctor returned to her room, she sat at the table and stared at the deadly poison in her hand, her eyes filled with conflict.

Even now, Little Fairy Doctor did not know what was wrong with her. She could not suppress the craving for poison in her heart. She wanted to swallow poison, even poison that could easily kill a person!

What puzzled Little Fairy Doctor even more was that after consuming poison, she would at most sleep for a while, then wake up as though nothing had happened!

Little Fairy Doctor sat there for quite a while before finally opening the jade bottle. The poison inside carried a faint fishy smell.

She then took out some tools for refining poison, poured out a portion of the poison, and added some other poisons. Soon, a poison pill with a faint fragrance appeared in Little Fairy Doctor's hand.

The venom of a fifth-tier venomous beast would undoubtedly kill her if she swallowed it all at once, so Little Fairy Doctor knew she had to make it into pills and consume it in batches.

Without hesitation, Little Fairy Doctor swallowed the pill.

Almost instantly, intense pain erupted in her abdomen. Then the pain faded, replaced by a sensation as though she were ascending to heaven, intoxicating Little Fairy Doctor completely!

From atop the roof, Jia He watched as a seven-colored radiance suddenly appeared on Little Fairy Doctor's face, making her look exceptionally beautiful. At once, a voice rang out in his mind:

[You observed the cultivation of the Woeful Poison Body. Heaven-defying comprehension triggered. You have comprehended the Heaven-tier cultivation technique: Great Heaven Poison Technique!]

A vast torrent of information flooded into Jia He's mind.

After digesting the information, Jia He discovered that the Great Heaven Poison Technique was an exceptionally suitable cultivation technique for the Woeful Poison Body!

Looking at Little Fairy Doctor, who had already fallen unconscious in the room, Jia He chuckled. "It seems my guess was right. That heaven-defying comprehension really was triggered. In that case, she might as well join Imperial Prison and help me from now on!"

Jia He drifted down from the roof, pushed open the door, and walked inside.

The next day, the seven-colored glow on Little Fairy Doctor's face gradually faded as she slowly woke from her unconsciousness.

The moment she sat up from the bed, she saw Jia He sitting at a table not far away, and her heart immediately jumped!

Jia He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a faint smile. "Awake?"
