First Hearing of the Calamity Poison Body

The next morning, still unsatisfied, you looked at Yun Zhi's faintly furrowed brows, wrapped an arm around her slender willow waist, and everything naturally followed its course once more.

By midmorning, you opened your eyes feeling refreshed and invigorated.

When you discovered that Yun Zhi had vanished from your side, you barely had time to worry before spotting her at the cave entrance.

Her black robe had long since been torn to pieces. Yun Zhi had changed back into her snow-white dress, and her loose hair had once again been gathered beneath a phoenix hair ornament, giving off a faint air of nobility.

You opened your mouth. The hidden fragility in Yun Zhi had completely vanished, and her beautiful face carried the same noble grandeur it had during that day's great battle. The words you wanted to say became, "Has your seal been broken?"

Yun Zhi gave a cold, indifferent hum, then warned you in her own capacity to treat this as though it had never happened. Telling anyone would do you no good.

Furthermore, she intended to attack the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King again and needed you to take the opportunity to steal the Purple Spirit Crystal from the magical beast's cave.

Although you weren't weak, this was still extremely dangerous.

However, Yun Zhi had a way to temporarily grant you a portion of her power. Her wind-attributed Dou Qi could also increase your speed.

After the technique was finished, you shamelessly held Yun Zhi and had her carry you to the entrance of the magical beast's cave.

Along the way, you learned that Yun Zhi was a three-star Dou Huang. Judging by Dou Qi and Dou Techniques alone, the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King barely counted as a two-star Dou Huang, but it was exceptionally powerful in close combat, comparable to a four- or five-star Dou Huang.

Near the cave entrance, Yun Zhi killed the guards and drew the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King's attention. Human and beast began fighting once again, while you slipped into the cave.

Relying on the sensing crystal Yun Zhi had given you, you made your way deeper inside.

Upon reaching the depths, you discovered something unusual. Medicine Elder identified it as Companion Amethyst Source.

Companion Amethyst Source was something that appeared with an extremely small chance when the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King gave birth. If Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion reached the fourth tier and consumed it, it could directly grow to the fifth tier, and the Purple Flame within its body would also be strengthened.

Following Medicine Elder's guidance, you found the Purple Spirit Crystal you needed, but also received the dreadful news that Little Purple Crystal Winged Lion was there.

Facing this third-tier magical beast, you exhausted all your strength to kill it. Then, using the Purple Spirit Crystal, you smashed open the Companion Amethyst Source and obtained the precious Amethyst Source.

Not wanting to waste anything, you licked up every splash of Amethyst Source before swiftly leaving the cave.

Seeing your hand, Yun Zhi didn't continue tangling with the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King and quickly vanished with you.

The effects of the Amethyst Source erupted. Purple waves of flame churned within your body, as if you were burning yourself alive.

Seeing that you were about to burn to death, Yun Zhi sighed helplessly, untied her plain dress, and revealed a perfect, jade-carved body. In an exceedingly gentle manner, she guided the energy within you.

After guiding the energy, Yun Zhi hesitated. Considering that the two of you had already crossed that line and shouldn't remain entangled, she didn't leave behind her close-fitting inner armor. Instead, she placed two scrolls beside you.

When you woke, you discovered that you had broken through to become a four-star Dou Shi. Beside you were a high-grade Profound Tier fire-attributed cultivation technique and a mid-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique.

You didn't have much time to miss Yun Zhi before Medicine Elder arranged a new training task for you.

Devouring the Amethyst Source unexpectedly granted you purple flames. At Medicine Elder's suggestion, you refined them into a flame seed and used the Companion Amethyst Source to nurture it.

To devour the Purple Flame, you needed to prepare to refine Meridian-Protecting Pills and Ice Heart Pills.

To search for materials, you began hunting magical beasts and accidentally encountered a conflict between mercenary groups. One of them was actually the Wolf Head Mercenary Group.

The Wolf Head Mercenary Group's second-in-command, who had luckily survived, gathered the scattered members together, allowing the group to rise from the ashes.

After easily dealing with the new leader, who hadn't even reached the Dou Shi level, you heard a shocking piece of news.

Thousand Medicines Hall, where you had bought medicinal ingredients, had been wiped out by Little Fairy Doctor using deadly poison. The Wolf Head Mercenary Group had entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range because she was hunting them down.

The experienced Medicine Elder recognized the possibility of a terrifying constitution—the Calamity Poison Body!

This strange poison body could rapidly increase one's strength by consuming poisons, but as the concentration of poison increased, one would eventually suffer the agony of countless poisons devouring the body.

You asked Medicine Elder for a solution, but received a negative answer.

Little Fairy Doctor had already consumed poison and could no longer restrain its fatal temptation.

Even Medicine Elder said so. For now, you could do nothing about Little Fairy Doctor's condition and could only mourn for her in your heart.

After obtaining the magical core you needed from another mercenary group, you refined the necessary pills, advanced the Flame Mantra with the Purple Flame, broke through to become a five-star Dou Shi, and raised the Flame Mantra to mid-grade Yellow Tier.

Seeing this simulation, Xiao Yan's eyes widened. "So the Flame Mantra can use beast flames to advance in grade."

To find the essential items needed to devour a Heavenly Flame, you prepared to obtain an alchemist's certification.

During this time, you met Lin Fei and Xue Mei, disciples of the association's president and vice president.

Lin Fei had a beautiful, captivating face and a somewhat petite frame, though her development was quite astonishing. She was curvy where she should be and slim where she should be, her full and mature body clad in a tight purple alchemist's outfit.

Her long dark hair was bound with a purple ribbon and fell all the way to her delicate buttocks. When it swayed, it lightly tapped against her round, perky rear. The faint, soft sounds were like cat claws constantly scratching at the hearts of the men around her whose gazes had turned improper.

Xue Mei was tall and slender, her eyes and brows as clear as an icy spring atop a snow mountain. Beyond her exquisite face, delicate brows, and graceful figure, she wore a fitted silver robe.

The silver clothing complemented her warm-jade skin, adding an unmistakable metallic chill to her unique charm. Most surprising of all was that this silver-robed woman possessed long silver hair that reached her waist.

The two of them had probably used connections, so the things they needed to refine were extremely simple. You, on the other hand, had it rough and needed to refine the highly difficult Energy-Storage Pill.

However, this didn't stump you. Not only did you successfully refine it, but you also completed the second-tier alchemist examination afterward, greatly shocking both women.

With this status, you asked the Alchemist Association to help gather information on the items you needed.

Otto provided you with information about the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. Using a bottle of Companion Amethyst Source, you traded Gu Te, the brother of Pill King Gu He, for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

The Black Rock City Alchemist Association gifted you a third-tier magical core and told you about the Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Grand Meeting, giving you the chance to participate.

Using your status as an alchemist, you boarded a Thick-Winged Bird for free. During the flight, you thought of airplanes from the modern world.

Just as Medicine Elder was refining the fifth-tier Blood Lotus Pill, the medicinal fragrance it released drew the attention of several alchemists.
