Yi Huang Takes a Disciple
"Yes," Yi Huang said firmly, "Go ahead and do it!" She didn't ask Xian'er's opinion. If the child really had any complaints about the seal in the future, then let him resent her.
"Hey, Huang'er, do you really need to be so nervous?" But then Xiao Han suddenly laughed strangely.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Yi Huang was initially puzzled, but then overjoyed. "Do you have a way to solve Xian'er's health problem?"
"No." Xiao Han shook his head.
"Then what nonsense are you talking about?" Yi Huang immediately became dissatisfied. Without resolving Xian'er's Woeful Poison Body, everything would be in vain.
"Huang'er, isn't Xian'er still young?" Xiao Han comforted her. "Her strength is still weak, and we are fully capable of suppressing her poisonous outburst."
As for what happens next, we can fully utilize the intelligence resources of the Langya Pavilion to slowly search for a method to condense the Poison Pill. Moreover..."
At this point, Xiao Han's expression became somewhat smug. "My current Icy Seal can completely suppress the outbreak of her poison body, allowing her to continue cultivating using the method of taking poison. At least until she enters the Dou Zun realm, there will be no problem."
Then, Xiao Han winked deliberately, "Madam, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, Yi Huang was immediately tempted. If she could truly suppress the problem of the Woeful Poison Body without affecting her cultivation, she would naturally be unwilling to resort to the last resort.
"And you forgot, there's also the Netherworld Poison Flame!" Right beside her, Xiao Han's eerie voice shattered Yi Huang's last psychological defenses.
The Netherworld Poison Flame a flame that exists in the Ancient Netherworld Poison Marsh. After Poison Marsh- Sky-Covering Poisonous Miasma of the swamp for millions of years, the flame has consumed endless Poisonous Miasma Qi. It takes a hundred years to become a spirit and a thousand years to take shape. When it is fully formed, its color is greenish, and it moves through the miasma of the Poison Marsh swamp like a will-o'-the-wisp.
Because the flame itself is fed by poisonous miasma and contains highly toxic substances, even a moment's contact with the spark will cause one to be poisoned, making it almost impossible to devour and fuse with it!
However, there is one exception— the Woeful Poison Body.
From any perspective, the Woeful Poison Body, which requires the aid of highly toxic substances for cultivation, is absolutely the most suitable constitution for the Netherworld Poison Flame.
What is poison to one is honey to another.
The deadly poison carried by the Netherworld Poison Flame is a true tonic for those with the Woeful Poison Body, easily accelerating their cultivation speed, no less than the Fallen Heart Flame, which can be called a "cultivation cheat device".
Moreover, to some extent, Netherworld Poison Flame can even temporarily replace the effect of Poison Pill, suppressing and slowing down the outbreak of Woeful Poison Body.
Of course, most importantly, Langya Pavilion already had a grasp on the location of the Netherworld Poison Flame. However, due to its inherent properties, it was a deadly thing for ordinary experts and had no value in devouring or refining it.
Therefore, Langya Pavilion naturally did not spend a huge amount of money to capture it.
But now, times have clearly changed!
Yi Huang's expression changed, and she questioned Xiao Han sharply, "So you were just playing me?"
She felt somewhat embarrassed; concern had clouded her judgment. In her haste, she hadn't considered the existence of the Netherworld Poison Flame, even though she was the one who first received the news.
That scoundrel! How dare he not remind me? Looks like he's planning to sleep on the floor again.
The unfriendly tone made Xiao Han tense up. Oh no, this was a death trap!
Immediately, Xiao Han said in a trembling voice, "Then... then what advice does Madam have?"
"Very good," Yi Huang said with a smile, patting Xiao Han's cheek and leaning closer, "Then you'll be punished by having to personally bring back the Netherworld Poison Flame!"
The warm breath from Yi Huang's mouth burned Xiao Han's earlobe, instantly making him shudder. He said with boiling blood, "Huang'er, don't worry, it's just a mere Netherworld Poison Flame. Your husband will definitely bring it back for you."
In fact, even if Yi Huang hadn't said that, Xiao Han still intended to take action himself. Although the Netherworld Poison Flame was only ranked twentieth on the Strange Fire Ranking, that didn't mean it was easy to obtain.
At least their status is much greater than that of the Exotic Fire that was successfully subdued and refined by a Battle Dou Shi in front of me!
To survive safely and for a long time in the endless Poison Marsh, it is simply impossible without the cultivation of a Peak Dou Zong or even Dou Zun.
These are just basic conditions. Langya Pavilion only has a general idea of the location of the Netherworld Poison Flame, but it is not an inanimate object; it is constantly in motion.
To successfully capture it, you need to deploy a sufficient number of people to conduct a net search or you need to be lucky enough to happen to encounter it.
The former is a grand undertaking that is time-consuming, laborious, and ultimately unrewarding. As for the latter, the Langya Pavilion seems to lack beings like the "European Emperor," who deserve to be punished by Heavenly Punishment and earth.
Besides that, the only way to track down the Netherworld Poison Flame is by relying on his superior strength, which is a piece of cake for Xiao Han now.
However, none of the other members of the Langya Pavilion could accomplish this. Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiao Han was naturally the most suitable candidate.
Yi Huang was well aware of this; calling it punishment was merely giving Xiao Han an opportunity to demonstrate his attitude.
With a satisfied smile, Yi Huang gently asked Xian'er, "Xian'er, would you like to become my disciple?"
"Become an apprentice?" Xian'er asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Yes, you'll become my disciple." Yi Huang affirmed again, "As my apprentice, you can learn many things, such as cultivation, medicine, and alchemy..."
Yi Huang began to list all the skills she possessed, but as she gave her examples, Yi Huang Xiao Han's lips twitched.
"Cultivation and medical skills are fine, but you actually want someone with a Woeful Poison Body, especially one that is prone to going out of control, to learn alchemy!"
Whether this will turn out to be a life-saving pill or a death warrant is another matter entirely! Xiao Han thought to himself. He could already picture Xian'er going around recruiting people to test the poison.
"How about we make that brat sacrifice himself?" Xiao Han was extremely satisfied with his brilliant idea.
Of course, if Xiao Han dared to say these words to his face, he might die on the spot.
In the short time that Xiao Han was distracted, Yi Huang and Xian'er had already quickly completed the apprenticeship process. It could be said that Xiao Han had never been so efficient when he accepted Xiao Wu as his disciple.
"Husband, I'm leaving the matter of the Netherworld Poison Flame to you!" Yi Huang was clearly much more excited after receiving a cute little disciple, and even her way of addressing Xiao Han became much gentler.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Han called out to Yi Huang, who was about to pull Xian'er out. Seeing her puzzled look, Xiao Han felt a little helpless. Why was this girl so confused?
"Have you forgotten about the seal?" For some reason, Xiao Han's voice sounded weak and listless.
"Oh, right," Yi Huang suddenly realized. She had been too excited and had momentarily forgotten that the Netherworld Poison Flame could not be used on Xian'er, who had not yet begun cultivating; a seal was still necessary.
"However, we can talk about that tomorrow. I'll take Xian'er out for a stroll first." Before she finished speaking, Yi Huang, like a child, instantly pulled Xian'er away and disappeared, leaving Xiao Han shaking his head and sighing.
