Xiao Yi Xian's face was somewhat pale as she looked at Jia He and asked softly, "You... what did you see?"
A fragile look rested on Xiao Yi Xian's face, making her pitifully endearing.
Jia He said, "I saw everything I should have seen. As for what I shouldn't have seen, I didn't see it."
Xiao Yi Xian said, "When I was taking poison earlier, you saw that?"
Jia He nodded slightly. "I saw it all. Do you know what condition your body is in?"
Hearing Jia He's words, Xiao Yi Xian slowly drew up her legs, buried her head in her knees, and sobbed. "I don't know. I don't know why I'm interested in poison. I simply can't control myself!"
"Do you... also think I'm a monster?"
At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian was terrified. She was afraid of being treated as a monster.
Jia He gave a soft laugh. "Why would I think you're a monster? You're clearly a cultivation genius!"
Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face froze slightly. She raised her head to look at Jia He and said in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Jia He smiled. "I said that not only are you not a monster, you're also a once-in-a-million cultivation genius. On the Dou Qi Continent, there are only a handful of people with constitutions that can compare to yours!"
"You know what's happening to me, don't you?" Xiao Yi Xian looked at Jia He as though she had grasped a lifeline.
Jia He nodded. "I do. Your constitution is a cultivation physique known as the Woeful Poison Body. I think you may have taken poison before and accidentally activated it!"
A trace of confusion appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's face. Then, as if she had remembered something, her expression abruptly changed. "Yes! In Green City, I accidentally swallowed poison!"
Jia He said, "That explains it. Once you consume poison, the Woeful Poison Body will be activated. Take a look at your lower abdomen. Is there a thin, faint seven-colored line there?"
Xiao Yi Xian hurriedly lifted the clothing over her abdomen, revealing a patch of snowy-white skin before Jia He's eyes.
However, Xiao Yi Xian paid no attention to that at the moment. Sure enough, she saw that faint seven-colored line on her lower abdomen!
"Then... how can I remove this seven-colored line?" Xiao Yi Xian asked Jia He.
Jia He shook his head. "It can't be removed. Once it's activated, you have no choice but to keep moving forward!"
"The advantage is that from now on, you can use the Woeful Poison Body to devour poison and rapidly increase your strength. The drawback is that one day, the poison will inevitably backlash against you, and you'll suffer the agony of ten thousand poisons devouring your heart!"
Jia He's words immediately made Xiao Yi Xian's shoulders tremble. She then lowered her head and began sobbing quietly.
"Hey, hey, I'm not done yet! Don't cry!" Jia He was dumbfounded.
Xiao Yi Xian raised her head and looked at him with two tear streaks on her face. "I don't want to suffer the pain of ten thousand poisons devouring my heart. I might as well die right now!"
"Don't, don't! Although the Woeful Poison Body is difficult to cure completely, I have a method. I guarantee that it'll bring you nothing but benefits and no harm!" Jia He said, winking at Xiao Yi Xian.
After hearing Jia He's words, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly no longer felt quite so afraid. She asked softly, "You really have a way?"
Jia He said, "Of course."
"Then what are the conditions?" Xiao Yi Xian was no fool. This young man before her clearly had a very calculating mind!
Moreover, Xiao Yi Xian now even suspected that Jia He had deliberately given her that poison last night!
Jia He pressed his lips together and chuckled. "There are indeed conditions. I established a faction in the Imperial Capital, and we're rather short on people at the moment. No, that's not right—we're short on experts. I want you to leave Green Mountain Town and come to the Imperial Capital with me, to become one of my people. What do you say?"
Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face reddened slightly as she looked at Jia He. "That's all?"
"Of course. And don't worry, I won't restrict your freedom. I only hope that whenever there's a crisis, you'll step up and deal with it!"
"More importantly, once you go to the Imperial Capital, your food and lodging will be covered. All you need to do is focus on refining poison and cultivating to improve your strength!" Jia He tempted Xiao Yi Xian.
However, Xiao Yi Xian did not seem to think that much about it. She simply nodded. "All right!"
"You agreed?" Jia He looked at Xiao Yi Xian in astonishment.
Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly. "I agreed. You can help me solve my problem, provide food and lodging, and let me refine poison to improve my strength. Why wouldn't I agree?"
Jia He said, "That seems right!"
"Since you've agreed, I'll pass a cultivation technique on to you. Once you cultivate it, you'll be able to control the poisonous Dou Qi produced after devouring poison without suffering backlash!" Jia He said.
Then Jia He walked over to Xiao Yi Xian and gently tapped her forehead with one finger!
In an instant, the cultivation method of the Great Heaven Poison Technique entered Xiao Yi Xian's mind.
The massive amount of information made Xiao Yi Xian feel dizzy, but she soon adapted to it.
Poisonous Dou Qi was relatively common in the Cloudrise Empire. It was not a special attribute of Dou Qi; it was simply formed by integrating the deadly poison absorbed into one's body with one's own Dou Qi!
Xiao Yi Xian's Woeful Poison Body was actually similar to the poison masters of the Cloudrise Empire. The only difference was that the Woeful Poison Body could increase its strength very quickly through poison.
As for ordinary poison masters, if they failed to break through to the Dou Wang realm, they might be directly killed by poison backlash.
The Great Heaven Poison Technique perfectly fused poison and Dou Qi together without posing any threat to the cultivator.
After obtaining the Great Heaven Poison Technique, Xiao Yi Xian immediately began cultivating on the bed!
She first poured the entire remaining bottle of poison from last night into her mouth, then began circulating the Great Heaven Poison Technique.
The terrifying poison of a fifth-tier venomous beast caused seven-colored hues to rise across Xiao Yi Xian's face once more.
However, as the Great Heaven Poison Technique began refining the terrifying energy contained within the poison in her body, Xiao Yi Xian's strength also began soaring rapidly!
In only a short while, Xiao Yi Xian broke through to the Dou Zhe realm. She did not remain at that level for long before directly bursting into the Dou Shi realm.
Watching from the side, Jia He thought to himself, I didn't expect her to trust me this much. If I had given her a fake cultivation technique, she'd be dead by now!
A heaven-tier cultivation technique truly was a heaven-tier cultivation technique. It operated with exceptional smoothness.
In just half a day, Xiao Yi Xian directly entered the Da Dou Shi realm.
It was only by evening that Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes. A surge of Dou Qi erupted from her body, fully displaying the strength of a three-star Da Dou Shi!
"Some of the energy in the poison hasn't been fully refined yet. Otherwise, reaching the Dou Ling realm shouldn't have been a problem!" Xiao Yi Xian said softly as she looked at Jia He.
Jia He said, "No rush. There's still time. The stronger you become, the higher-tier the poison you'll need, but don't worry. I'll help you!"
Gratitude filled Xiao Yi Xian's gaze as she looked at Jia He.
"Thank you," Xiao Yi Xian said softly. This was her heartfelt gratitude.
