Xiao Ni's Confidence

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

Why had the system suddenly produced a Random Binding Function? It had even randomly bound Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei to him. Could it be that the system wanted him to bring Xiao Yi Xian back, then take her to the Mittel Auction House to visit Ya Fei whenever he had nothing better to do?

That seemed rather difficult, didn't it? More importantly, he had no idea how much the system could increase his cultivation speed, or how likely it was to grant him surprise rewards. If he put in all that effort only to gain very little, it would be a complete waste of his feelings.

Besides, by the time Xun'er and he returned to Wutan City, one or two months would probably have passed. The system had only bound them for three months, which would leave him 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 each. Once they were all sold, that should amount to eighty or ninety million, right?

Forget it. To him now, that was barely worth mentioning. If Ya Fei and the others were willing to wait for him to return, they could wait. If not, he could simply give them to the Xiao Household.

"Why are you staring at me like that? Did I praise you wrong?" Xiao Yi Xian's little face immediately flushed faintly under Xiao Ni's unwavering gaze.

"You weren't wrong. I was merely curious about just how powerful a body like your Woeful Poison Body could make you." Xiao Ni frowned slightly, his expression grave.

He would not miss any opportunity to become stronger. Since the system had bound Xiao Yi Xian and Ya Fei to him, he naturally had to find a way to interact with them more often.

"Y-you said I have a Woeful Poison Body? Can you help me solve it?" Xiao Yi Xian stared at Xiao Ni with burning eyes as hope gradually rose in her heart.

She only knew that she seemed somewhat immune to poison. She had no idea what was actually wrong with her body, so when Xiao Ni spoke the words "Woeful Poison Body," her expression could not help but tremble.

Xiao Xun'er also looked at Xiao Ni and said with a smile, "Xiao Ni gege really knows so many things."

Teased by Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Ni cleared his throat and put on an inscrutable air. "I merely heard my teacher mention this kind of constitution. As for how to resolve it, even my teacher didn't know. However, I do have a way to help you improve it."

He had not deceived Xiao Yi Xian on this point. Among the pill formulas rewarded by the system were two medicinal pills that were highly effective at improving the Woeful Poison Body. The only issue was that the ingredients were difficult to find, so he could not refine them for the time being.

"Other than being somewhat immune to poison, does the Woeful Poison Body have any other traits?" Xiao Yi Xian's gaze dimmed somewhat as she continued asking.

"Those with a Woeful Poison Body do not 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 wish to keep getting stronger, you must find poisons capable of killing Battle Venerables and Battle Saints." Drawing on his memories of the Woeful Poison Body, Xiao Ni described some of its traits.

"Poisons capable of killing Battle Venerables and Battle Saints? Are you joking with me? Can such terrifying poisons really exist on the Battle Qi Continent?" Xiao Yi Xian felt that Xiao Ni's words were rather absurd.

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

"Xiao Ni gege wasn't joking with you. There really are poisons on the Battle Qi Continent that can kill Battle Venerables. As for Battle Saints, I'm not too sure." After speaking gravely, Xiao Xun'er asked, "Xiao Ni gege, will this Woeful Poison Body threaten Xiao Yi Xian's life?"

At that question, Xiao Yi Xian's heart instantly tightened. Her life might have been filled with regrets, but if she could live longer, who would want to die early?

"The Woeful Poison Body will only truly awaken after you consume poison. Otherwise, there will be no danger to your life." After briefly answering Xiao Xun'er's question, Xiao Ni said earnestly to Xiao Yi Xian, "Xiao Yi Xian, once the Woeful Poison Body awakens, you will swiftly become a true powerhouse. At the same time, as the toxins in your body grow increasingly potent, the Seven-Colored Hidden Line on your lower abdomen will continue to spread."

"Once the seven-colored lines reach your heart, you will suffer the agony of Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring the Body and eventually die slowly amid the torment of deadly poison. Also, once you awaken the Woeful Poison Body, your body will naturally carry poison. At that point, some people might be directly poisoned to death merely by lightly touching you."

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

Xiao Ni appeared utterly sincere. He was not acting. He truly did feel a little heartache for Xiao Yi Xian and genuinely wanted to spend more time with her, while incidentally becoming a little stronger himself.

"...Can you really help me improve my Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian stood stunned for quite a while before she finally asked softly.

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

She could no longer become an Alchemist. If she were also deprived of 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 someday. She even felt that she had already become a great Poison Master feared and loathed by the world.

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

With the system in hand, what could he possibly lack? As long as he had all the materials, he could refine two seventh-tier medicinal pills in minutes to help Xiao Yi Xian improve her Woeful Poison Body.

The battle qi within him had already become unimaginably abundant. Even a Four-Star Dou King like Qingtian was far inferior to him. Refining seventh-tier medicinal pills was naturally no challenge for him.

"But I don't possess both fire and wood attributes, and my soul power isn't as strong as yours." Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head, her face full of disappointment.

She had a Woeful Poison Body. Even if she met the requirements to become an Alchemist, she would probably find it difficult to refine pills. After all, she carried poison within her body. Eighty percent of the pills she refined would likely turn into poison, wouldn't they?

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

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