Since childhood, Xiao Yi Xian had discovered a seven-colored hidden line on her lower abdomen, but she had never understood what it was.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan also had a seven-colored hidden line growing on his lower abdomen.
Xiao Yi Xian was instantly stunned. Could it be that everyone on the Battle Qi Continent had a seven-colored hidden line on their lower abdomen?
She quickly denied that possibility, because when she had bathed with her mother as a child, there had been no seven-colored hidden line on her mother's lower abdomen.
"My physique is special. It can copy the physiques of those I undergo Dual Cultivation with."
Xiao Yan explained without hiding anything. There was no need to conceal it.
"Xiao Yi Xian, you possess a special physique called the Calamity Poison Body."
"It is a miraculous physique that can increase one's battle qi cultivation by consuming poison."
"However, the more poison you consume, the more toxins will accumulate in your body, and this seven-colored hidden line will grow."
Xiao Yan reached out and touched the seven-colored hidden line on Xiao Yi Xian's lower abdomen. His fingers moved upward until they stopped over her heart.
"When the seven-colored hidden line reaches here, it means the toxins have reached their most concentrated point. That is also when the toxins will backlash."
"So, I do not recommend that you consume poison to cultivate for now. I will not consume poison either. Once I find a way to suppress and resolve the toxins, we can cultivate by consuming poison."
Xiao Yi Xian slapped away Xiao Yan's hand from her chest and said with a blush:
"Can't I just consume a little?"
"Absolutely not. Once you begin consuming poison, your Calamity Poison Body will constantly urge you to keep consuming it. You will not be able to stop."
Xiao Yan spoke seriously.
Then, he gazed at Xiao Yi Xian affectionately and said, "Xiao Yi Xian, let's do it again."
As he spoke, he did not wait for Xiao Yi Xian to agree before pouncing on her and pressing her onto the bed.
When Dual Cultivation had activated earlier, their bodies had been beyond their control, and they had not been able to properly experience it.
Xiao Yi Xian let out a delicate cry, followed by a stream of pained moans.
Outside the villa, Medicine Elder floated in the air.
"That brat, how long has it been? Is he still not coming out? Does he still want to cultivate or not?"
He wanted to inspect the place with his soul perception, but Xiao Yan had long since sealed off the space around the villa. He could not infiltrate it at all.
In the simple courtyard house, Nalan Yanran felt slightly irritated as she paced back and forth in the yard.
During the five days Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian had spent cultivating their relationship, they had not hidden it from her.
A whole day had passed.
She had not seen either Xiao Yan or Xiao Yi Xian leave the villa.
"Did they leave the space?"
Nalan Yanran looked at the rather beautiful two-story villa and muttered to herself.
Soon, Nalan Yanran noticed something unusual within the space.
The natural energy in the air had become much denser again.
Since she had been imprisoned in the Portable Space, this was already the second time.
The last time the natural energy had become denser, Xiao Yan had become a Dou Zhe.
Now that the natural energy had grown denser again, could Xiao Yan have become a Dou Master?
After Xiao Yan cultivated battle techniques in the space, he would also have Nalan Yanran spar with him. Even without using the space's suppression, he could easily defeat her.
Nalan Yanran's pride had long since vanished, leaving behind only deep helplessness.
The next day, Xiao Yan found Medicine Elder.
"I thought you were planning to stay in there for seven days and seven nights?"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan, Medicine Elder gave a strange laugh and teased him.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose and said righteously:
"Do I look like the kind of man who indulges in beauty? Everything was for the sake of strength. Didn't you notice? I'm already a Two-Star Dou Master."
"With strength raised like that, your battle qi is flimsy and unstable. It seems I'll need to think carefully about how to train you from now on."
Medicine Elder grinned craftily, as though he were plotting something sinister.
Xiao Yan's mouth twitched. He lifted his shirt, revealing the seven-colored hidden line on his lower abdomen, and said:
"Teacher, look. I have the Calamity Poison Body now."
Medicine Elder took out the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture and flipped through it. He then glanced at the seven-colored hidden line on Xiao Yan's lower abdomen before saying:
"This is indeed the mark of the Calamity Poison Body. Tsk, tsk. Your Dual Cultivation physique is truly impressive. It can actually copy another person's physique through Dual Cultivation."
"You can undergo Dual Cultivation and obtain special physiques too. Why does every good thing fall into your hands?"
Medicine Elder said with considerable envy.
Xiao Yan said smugly, "If I didn't have some ability, how could I help you refine a body and revive you?"
"Enough. You've hidden in this space long enough. It's time to go out and gain experience in the Magic Beast Mountain Range."
"Starting today, you must kill five second-tier magic beasts every day to hone your battle qi and combat skills."
"If you encounter danger, you are not allowed to casually hide in the space."
Medicine Elder did not want to see his disciple's smug expression and spoke coldly.
"That won't be a problem. I was planning to head into the depths of the Magic Beast Mountain Range anyway. There's an Amethyst Winged Lion King there, and its cave contains Companion Purple Crystal Source. I'm going to steal it."
Xiao Yan said with a smile.
Knowing that Xiao Yan could see the future, Medicine Elder did not question how he knew such things.
"Companion Purple Crystal Source? That truly is an exceptionally rare item. It is worth making the trip."
Medicine Elder nodded.
"By the way, Medicine Elder, do you have any lightning-attributed cultivation methods? I tested Xiao Yi Xian, and her attribute is lightning."
Xiao Yan asked.
The Boneflame Ring carried Medicine Elder's soul imprint, so Xiao Yan could not take out the items within it at all.
"A lightning-attributed cultivation method? Let me think."
Medicine Elder fell into thought while his soul perception entered the Boneflame Ring to search.
"Found it."
A purple scroll appeared in Medicine Elder's hand.
"This is a Low Earth Tier lightning-attributed cultivation method, the Purple Thunder Body Tempering Art."
"Back then, a member of the Thunder Clan gave it to me when he asked me to perform Alchemy for him."
Medicine Elder said indifferently.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. His teacher was showing off even more than he was.
He reached out, grabbed the scroll, and vanished in a flash.
"You little brat! Now that you have a pretty wife, you no longer respect your teacher. You infuriate me!"
Medicine Elder blew out his beard and glared.
Inside the villa, Xiao Yan appeared out of thin air and embraced Xiao Yi Xian from behind.
Xiao Yi Xian's body tensed. Only after seeing that it was Xiao Yan did she let out a breath and say gently:
"Big Brother Xiao Yan, you scared me to death."
Xiao Yan pressed his lips to hers and did not release her until she could no longer breathe.
Just as Xiao Yi Xian was about to get angry, Xiao Yan flicked his hand, and the purple scroll appeared.
"Xian'er, look what this is. I got Teacher to give you a Low Earth Tier cultivation method."
"A Low Earth Tier cultivation method?"
Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes lit up, and delight appeared on her face.
Her small hand accepted the purple scroll and opened it. A great amount of information immediately flooded into her mind.
She hurriedly sat cross-legged and assumed a cultivation posture.
Two hours later, she opened her eyes, faint purple light shooting from them.
She had transformed her ordinary Qi Vortex into a cultivation method Qi Vortex, and the milky-white battle qi within had also transformed into purple lightning-attributed battle qi.
"Xian'er, how did it go?"
"I succeeded."
Xiao Yi Xian beamed with joy and planted a loud kiss on Xiao Yan's cheek.
The following day.
In the Magic Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Yan had just slain a second-tier magic beast. Leaning on the Profound Heavy Ruler, he panted heavily.
He thought of how, after drinking some wine with Xiao Yi Xian yesterday, they had gone wild for several hours. Even now, his waist still ached a little.
Wine and women truly ruin a man. From today onward, I, Xiao, will quit drinking!
Xiao Yan swore inwardly.
"Kill a few more second-tier magic beasts today."
Medicine Elder, floating in the air, spoke blandly.
"You're ruthless!"
After giving Medicine Elder a middle finger he could not understand, Xiao Yan cautiously searched the forest for lone second-tier magic beasts.
Several days later, Xiao Yan flew over Soul-Severing Ravine and entered the central region of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Not long after entering the central region, Xiao Yan heard a violent lion's roar.
"That is the Amethyst Winged Lion King's roar. It is fighting a human."
Medicine Elder looked toward the distant sky where energy ripples surged. A graceful female figure could vaguely be seen.
