Yao Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Sensing the aura of a Peak Seven-Star Dou Spirit within his body, he could not help but smile faintly.

"This Flame Mantra truly is miraculous. At this rate, if I can successfully subdue the Green Lotus Core Flame, it should help me return to the Dou Wang realm..."

Yao Lao nodded. "It seems your foundation is indeed quite solid, kid..."

"I originally thought the energy of the Companion Amethyst Source would only be enough to help you return to Five-Star Dou Spirit..."

Yao Xuan slowly rose to his feet. "Uncle Chen, it must have been the effect of that pill you refined..."

"With that pill's assistance, I was able to absorb the Companion Amethyst Source's energy so thoroughly..."

Yao Xuan was not wrong. After all, Yao Lao had truly poured considerable effort into the Purple Accumulation Fusion Pill, developing it specifically to help Han Feng refine the Companion Amethyst Source!

What a pity that Han Feng, that rebellious son, had been such a beast!

If he had simply remained a good disciple, he could have advanced to Battle Venerable while lying down in the future, become the young master of Starfall Pavilion, and live freely in the Central Plains for the rest of his life...

Yao Lao's hovering body turned into streaks of white light and returned to the Bone Flame Ring.

"Kid..."

"Now that we have obtained all the opportunities left by the strongest magical beast in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, it is time to head for the place where the Green Lotus Core Flame appeared, the place you mentioned..."

"I expended some soul power just now to help you refine the Companion Amethyst Source. I am rather tired now, so you will have to rely on yourself for the rest of the journey..."

Yao Xuan nodded and headed toward the Tagor Desert.

However, halfway along the road, the atmosphere around him suddenly turned strange...

The once vibrant forest abruptly fell silent and lifeless...

The towering grasses and trees around him had all lost their color, their trunks and leaves blackened and scorched...

More importantly, the air was permeated by an extremely faint yet bone-chillingly cold and peculiar poisonous gas.

Yao Xuan abruptly stopped, a slight frown forming between his brows.

The Fused Heavenly Flame within his body instantly began circulating on its own to protect him.

Yao Xuan's gaze swept rapidly across the area, soon locking onto the bushes beside the road...

There, a slender young woman lay quietly on the ground!

Most of her dress had been corroded into ruin by the strange poisonous gas. The fabric was mottled and torn, while her exposed fair skin was covered in blue-black poison markings. Threads of black mist slowly slithered beneath her flesh.

Not far from the girl lay several skeletons.

Clearly, this girl was the source of the poisonous gas in the area...

The moment Yao Xuan's gaze fell upon the girl radiating poisonous gas, the voices of Yao Xuan and Yao Lao rang out in unison.

"Calamity Poison Body!?"

Yao Lao slowly appeared again. "Kid, you actually recognize the Calamity Poison Body too!?"

Yao Xuan nodded. "I heard Teacher mention it before. The Calamity Poison Body is one of the strangest constitutions on this continent. Its cultivation talent is terrifying—one only needs to consume poison to increase one's strength!"

At this point, Yao Xuan had already confirmed that the person before him was Little Doctor Fairy, known as one of the most tragic figures.

After all, in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a young woman with an Innate Calamity Poison Body could only be Little Doctor Fairy.

In the original story, Little Doctor Fairy had repeatedly risked her life for Xiao Yan, only to gain nothing in the end!

Now that Little Doctor Fairy had appeared before Yao Xuan like this, he considered it fate.

Yao Lao, however, shook his head. "This girl actually has the exceedingly rare Innate Calamity Poison Body!"

"From the looks of it, her poison body must have gone out of control and erupted..."

Yet as soon as Yao Lao finished speaking, Yao Xuan had already stepped forward despite the danger.

Yao Xuan raised his hand and gently grasped Little Doctor Fairy's wrist. Yet just as his fingertips touched her arm...

A bone-chilling poisonous force surged fiercely through his meridians!

Fortunately, Yao Xuan's Fused Heavenly Flame protected his body, so the poisonous force did not harm him...

Yao Xuan lowered his gaze and saw a strange purple-black aura emerging from the skin where Little Doctor Fairy's dress had rotted away...

His gaze moved downward and fell upon Little Doctor Fairy's lower abdomen!

A thin line had faintly appeared over the smooth, fair skin of her abdomen, lightly pulsing with her weak breaths.

Yao Xuan's expression turned solemn at this sight!

Once the Calamity Poison Body's owner fell unconscious, the poisonous force within would run wild. Before long, it would erupt and kill its host, while triggering a widespread poison explosion before death...

Seeing this poison line, Yao Xuan also understood that Little Doctor Fairy's Calamity Poison Body was already on the verge of losing control.

Yao Xuan immediately stopped hesitating. A thread of pure Dou Qi condensed at his fingertips, carefully avoiding the poison markings on Little Doctor Fairy's skin as he probed into her body.

As Yao Xuan's Dou Qi entered her body, he could sense a violent and chaotic poisonous aura crashing wildly through Little Doctor Fairy's body, incomparably domineering!

Yet Little Doctor Fairy's aura was weak and scattered. She had clearly reached the end of her strength.

"It is a backlash from the poisonous force, combined with exhaustion from suppressing the poison body for too long, causing her to faint..."

Yao Xuan swiftly reached his conclusion.

"If this drags on any longer and the poison-colored line spreads to her heart meridians, even the gods will be unable to save her."

After pondering briefly, the Fused Heavenly Flame instantly appeared in Yao Xuan's palm!

Yao Xuan knew that although his flame, formed from two types of Beast Flame and the Yellow Mysterious Flame, was not the ideal choice for countering deadly poison, it was the best method he could think of to temporarily suppress the rampaging poisonous force...

"For now, I can only stabilize her poison body first and make plans afterward..."

Yao Xuan spoke softly, then lightly touched Little Doctor Fairy's forehead with his Heavenly Flame-covered fingertip...

Gentle flames slowly seeped in, attempting to suppress the Calamity Poison Body that was about to lose control.

Throughout the process, Yao Xuan controlled the flames with extreme caution, afraid that even the slightest carelessness would injure Little Doctor Fairy's meridians...

A moment later, the poisonous gas around Little Doctor Fairy gradually dispersed, and the poison line on her lower abdomen vanished as well...

Only then did Yao Xuan stop. "It seems the poisonous aura has been temporarily suppressed..."

After confirming that Little Doctor Fairy's Calamity Poison Body had been temporarily stabilized, Yao Xuan carefully laid her flat. Seeing that the tattered clothing on her body was practically useless, he removed his own outer garment and gently covered her with it...

Only after Yao Xuan had finished all this did Yao Lao speak with a lewd grin.

"This kid knew how dangerous the Calamity Poison Body was, yet he still stepped in without fear of death..."

"Could it be that you have taken a fancy to this girl..."

Yao Xuan smiled helplessly. "Uncle Chen, this girl has an Innate Calamity Poison Body. It was not her wish for it to lose control. In truth, she is innocent too..."

"If we stood by and watched her poison body erupt and kill her, I fear neither of us would be able to live with our conscience..."

Yao Lao waved his hand. "Not a single word out of your mouth is entirely honest, kid..."

"What you said is probably only part of it. If this girl were not so beautiful, I doubt you would have acted so quickly..."

Yao Lao moved to Yao Xuan's side, lightly patted his shoulder, and grinned wickedly.

"But men are men..."

"Uncle Chen understands you. It is enough that you and I understand; there is no need to say it aloud..."

"Besides, when I was young, I had no shortage of beautiful women around me..."

Yao Xuan smiled helplessly. No wonder the original story said that this old Yao Lao was rather improper. At heart, he was simply a lecherous old man...

Now that he saw it for himself, it was exactly as described!

Yao Lao looked Yao Xuan over again before speaking once more.

"Still, you are quite handsome yourself, kid. Compared to me in my youth, we are practically evenly matched..."

Yao Xuan nodded in agreement.

After all, although the current soul form of Yao Lao merely looked like a bad old man...

In his youth, he must certainly have been a handsome man. Otherwise, Xuan Yi of the Pill Tower and Azure Fairy of the Flower Sect would not have remained so obsessed with him...
