Xiao Ni's Confidence

A string of system notifications rang out in Xiao Ni's mind. He paused slightly, then looked thoughtfully at Little Fairy.

Why had the system suddenly produced a random binding feature? It had even randomly bound Little Fairy and Ya Fei to him. Did the system want him to take Little Fairy back with him and then bring her to the Mittel Auction House to see Ya Fei whenever he had nothing better to do?

That didn't seem easy to pull off, did it? More importantly, he had no idea how much the system could increase his cultivation speed or how likely it was to give him surprise rewards. If he went to all that trouble and gained next to nothing, it would be a complete waste of effort.

Besides, by the time he and Xun'er returned to Wutan City, one or two months would probably have passed. The system had only bound them for three months, so that would leave him with far less time to see Ya Fei.

Wait! Ya Fei? It seemed he had forgotten something.

Oh, right. The Mittel Auction House was supposed to auction off eight hundred Qi Gathering Powders for him. They had agreed on eighty thousand gold coins per pill. Once they were all sold, he should get at least eighty or ninety million, right?

Forget it. Those things were barely worth mentioning to him now. If Ya Fei and the others were willing to wait for him to return, then they could wait. If not, he could just give them to the Xiao Household.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Did I praise you wrong?" Little Fairy's small face immediately flushed faintly under Xiao Ni's constant gaze.

"You didn't praise me wrong. I'm just curious how powerful your Woeful Poison Body can make you." Xiao Ni frowned slightly, his expression grave.

He wouldn't miss any chance to grow stronger. Since the system had bound Little Fairy and Ya Fei to him, he would definitely find ways to spend more time with them.

"Y-You said I have a Woeful Poison Body? Can you help me solve it?" Little Fairy stared at Xiao Ni with blazing eyes as hope slowly rose in her heart.

She only knew that she seemed somewhat immune to poison. She had no idea what was going on with her body, so when Xiao Ni spoke the words "Woeful Poison Body," her expression couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Ni as well and said with a smile, "Xiao Ni, you really know a lot."

Teased by Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Ni cleared his throat and put on an unfathomable air. "I've only heard my teacher mention this constitution before. As for how to cure it, even my teacher doesn't know. But I do have a way to help you improve it."

He hadn't lied to Little Fairy about that. Among the prescriptions rewarded by the system were two pills that were extremely effective at improving the Woeful Poison Body. The only problem was that those ingredients were difficult to find, so he couldn't refine them for the time being.

"Other than being somewhat immune to poison, does the Woeful Poison Body have any other traits?" The light in Little Fairy's eyes dimmed somewhat as she continued asking.

"People with the Woeful Poison Body don't need to cultivate. As long as they continuously consume poison, they can rapidly grow stronger. The stronger the poison, the faster their strength rises. Once you become powerful enough, ordinary poisons will no longer improve your strength. If you want to keep getting stronger, you must find poison potent enough to kill a Battle Venerable or a Battle Saint." Xiao Ni described some of the Woeful Poison Body's traits based on what he remembered.

"Poison capable of killing a Battle Venerable or Battle Saint? Are you joking with me? Does such terrifying poison even exist on the Battle Qi Continent?" Little Fairy felt that Xiao Ni's words were rather absurd.

Battle Venerables and Battle Saints were among the most powerful existences on the Battle Qi Continent. No matter how skilled someone was at using poison, they couldn't possibly poison such terrifying beings to death, could they?

"Xiao Ni isn't joking with you. There really is poison on the Battle Qi Continent capable of killing a Battle Venerable. As for Battle Saints, I'm not too sure." After speaking gravely, Xiao Xun'er asked, "Xiao Ni, can this Woeful Poison Body threaten Little Fairy's life?"

At that question, Little Fairy's heart instantly tightened. Her life was already full of regrets, but if she could live a little longer, who would want to die early?

"The Woeful Poison Body only officially awakens after you consume poison. Otherwise, there won't be any danger to your life." After briefly answering Xiao Xun'er's question, Xiao Ni said to Little Fairy with utmost seriousness, "Little Fairy, once the Woeful Poison Body awakens, you'll rapidly become a true powerhouse. At the same time, as the toxins in your body increase, the Seven-Colored Hidden Line on your lower abdomen will continue extending."

"Once the seven-colored line reaches your heart, you'll suffer the pain of Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Body and eventually die slowly under the torment of extreme poison. Also, once you awaken the Woeful Poison Body, your body will naturally carry toxins. By then, some people may be poisoned to death just by lightly touching you."

"I've told you everything I know. As for what choice you make, I won't interfere. We only just met, after all, and I have no right to tell you how to live your life. I'm only telling you this because I simply feel sorry for people like you who possess special constitutions."

Xiao Ni appeared utterly sincere. He wasn't acting. He truly felt somewhat sorry for Little Fairy and genuinely wanted to spend more time with her, while also becoming a little stronger himself.

"...Can you really help me improve my Woeful Poison Body?" Little Fairy asked faintly after being stunned for a long while.

After hearing Xiao Ni say so much, her feelings were incredibly complicated.

She could no longer become an alchemist. If she were also denied the chance to grow stronger, her life would become even more meaningless. Therefore, there was still a very high chance that she would awaken the Woeful Poison Body in the future. She could practically see herself becoming a great poison master feared and hated by the world.

"I can improve your Woeful Poison Body, and I can also make you an alchemist." Xiao Ni spoke with absolute certainty.

With the system in hand, what couldn't he get? As long as he had all the materials, he could refine two seventh-grade pills in minutes to help Little Fairy improve her Woeful Poison Body.

The battle qi within him had already become unbelievably abundant. Even a four-star Dou King like Qingtian was far inferior to him. Refining seventh-grade pills was naturally no challenge for him.

"But I don't possess both fire and wood attributes, and my spiritual strength isn't as powerful as yours." Little Fairy lowered her head, her face filled with disappointment.

She had the Woeful Poison Body. Even if she met the requirements to become an alchemist, she would probably find it difficult to refine pills, wouldn't she? After all, her body carried poison. Most likely, any pills she refined would turn into poison as well.

"Since I said it, I naturally have a way to resolve every concern in your heart." Xiao Ni patted his chest confidently before saying, "Let's go. We'll head to the Magic Beast Mountain Range and find Mu She and Gan Mu first."

"Who exactly is he? Can he really help me?" Little Fairy stared at Xiao Ni's back for a moment before following Xiao Ni and Xiao Xun'er.
