Resolving the Calamity Poison, Black Finger

After leaving the Nalan Clan, Xiao Yan sensed someone following him. He did not react much, merely finding an inn near the Nalan Clan and checking in.

Once inside his room, Xiao Yan flashed into his Portable Space and arrived at the Green Lotus Platform in the Magma Lake.

He sat cross-legged, formed a cultivation seal with his hands, and sank his awareness into his body.

Within the Fire God Space, inside the Green Lotus Core Flame, a mass of black substance churned.

Had Xiao Yan not constantly controlled the temperature of the Green Lotus Core Flame, this black substance might have been burned into nothingness in an instant.

Just as Xiao Yan had expected, this black substance was the Brand Poison within Nalan Jie's body. After Xiao Yan had used flames to forge and strip it from his bones, it had actually mixed into the flames.

Staring at the mass of black Brand Poison, Xiao Yan fell into thought.

This Brand Poison was a deadly poison capable of harming even a Dou Emperor. If he absorbed it with the Calamity Poison Body, his cultivation would certainly rise rapidly.

As for toxin accumulation, Xiao Yan had some concerns, though not many.

With that thought, Xiao Yan wrapped the Brand Poison in flames and took it out of the Fire God Space, then guided it into his meridians.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Yan withdrew the flames back into the Fire God Space in his dantian. The Brand Poison was exposed and began seeping toward the walls of his meridians, burrowing toward his bones.

At that moment, the Calamity Poison Body activated, releasing Calamity Waves that washed over the Brand Poison.

As the Calamity Waves continuously washed over it, the Brand Poison that even Dou Emperors feared transformed into streams of poisonous Dou Qi.

"Hm?"

Xiao Yan gave a surprised cry. As the Brand Poison transformed into poisonous Dou Qi, a small sphere flickering with white light floated within his meridians.

That small sphere contained an enormous amount of pure energy.

After thinking briefly, Xiao Yan understood.

This pure energy had been accumulated while the Brand Poison eroded Nalan Jie's body, absorbing some of his Dou Qi along the way.

"I never expected that helping someone remove poison would bring such an unexpected gain."

A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

He shaped his soul force into a sharp needle and punctured the small sphere. A large amount of blue liquid energy immediately flowed out.

Freed from its restraints, the liquid energy tried to rampage through his meridians.

Xiao Yan had prepared for this. His powerful soul force restrained the blue liquid and guided it toward his dantian.

He activated his Qi vortex, gradually transforming the blue liquid energy and Brand Poison into poisonous Dou Qi and injecting it into the vortex.

After being converted by the vortex, it became Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra Dou Qi.

At the center of the vortex, the green Dou Crystal grew by a full circle.

Xiao Yan advanced to a Five-Star Grand Dou Master!

"Awesome!"

Xiao Yan opened his closed eyes and let out a low cry, a smile spreading across his face.

The Brand Poison truly deserved its reputation as a poison feared even by Dou Emperors. Just a small portion had produced so much poisonous Dou Qi energy.

Together with the small amount of energy accumulated within a Dou King, it had actually raised Xiao Yan by one star in the Grand Dou Master realm.

And less than one-tenth of the Brand Poison in Nalan Jie's body had been removed.

Once all of that Brand Poison was removed, Xiao Yan might be able to advance to a Dou Ling.

Xiao Yan lifted his clothes and saw that the Seven-Colored Hidden Line on his lower abdomen had climbed another half inch.

His brows furrowed slightly. The toxins accumulating within his body were always a hidden danger. It was time to deal with them.

Although Xiao Yan did not know the Heavenly Capital Fire Seal, he possessed the Myriad Flame Emperor Physique, and his understanding of flames was growing deeper and deeper.

Therefore, Xiao Yan could create a miraculous rune like the Green Fire Life-Death Talisman, which controlled life and death.

At a thought from Xiao Yan.

Fire God Domain, activate.

His body burst into blazing flames. These were ordinary flames.

Flames flowed and burned through every part of his body.

The black toxins that had fused into his flesh were forged out.

Xiao Yan wrapped some of the black toxins in flames and guided them through his meridians toward those in his right arm, intending to expel them from the middle finger of his right hand.

Just as these black toxins reached his right middle finger and were about to be expelled, the Calamity Poison Body activated. Waves of Calamity Waves rippled out.

Xiao Yan's mind blurred for a moment, and the ordinary flames under his control scattered. The black toxins fused back into the flesh of his middle finger.

His right middle finger immediately turned greenish-black, as though it had been caught in a door.

As the toxins fused into his flesh again, the Calamity Waves also vanished.

"The Calamity Poison Body actually won't let toxins leave my body?!"

Xiao Yan frowned deeply. It seemed that if he wanted to completely resolve the Calamity Poison Body, he would still need to use the poison pill method.

Still, Xiao Yan was fairly satisfied that he could transfer the toxins to his finger. At least his entire body was no longer filled with poison.

Next, Xiao Yan gradually transferred all kinds of toxins within his body to the middle finger of his right hand.

After all the toxins had been transferred to his middle finger, it turned pitch-black, becoming a Black Finger.

This Black Finger emitted a dizzying, eerie glow. Even a whiff of its poisonous vapor could corrode someone; it was utterly terrifying.

"Your Black Finger is far too toxic. If you use this hand to refine pills in the future, won't they all turn into poison pills?"

By the lake, Medicine Elder said with a frown.

"It's fine!"

Xiao Yan smiled faintly and closed his eyes again.

Using flames as ink and his soul as a brush, he drew flaming patterns across the Black Finger.

Once the final flaming pattern was complete, all the patterns connected together and activated.

A flare of fire appeared on the Black Finger, enveloping it completely before sinking into it.

Xiao Yan's Black Finger returned to its normal flesh color.

"What do you think of this Flame Seal?"

Xiao Yan raised his middle finger at Medicine Elder and spoke with slight pride.

"Your flame control has already surpassed mine. It has surpassed everyone's."

Medicine Elder's face was full of praise.

Xiao Yan smiled, rose from the lotus platform, and lightly tapped his toes against it as he arrived at the lakeshore.

"Teacher, how has your soul force recovery been?"

Xiao Yan asked.

"With this Green Lotus Platform, my soul force can recover a little every day. I believe it will not be long before I return to the Mid-Spirit Realm."

Medicine Elder usually sat on the lotus platform, recovering his soul force.

When he had first awakened, his soul force had only been at the Early Spirit Realm.

With Early Spirit Realm soul force, even when Medicine Elder possessed Xiao Yan, he could only display strength three major realms above Xiao Yan's own.

Once he reached the Mid-Spirit Realm, Medicine Elder could display strength four major realms above Xiao Yan's. Of course, it would not exceed Medicine Elder's strength at his peak, which was Peak Dou Venerable.

"Once I obtain the Seven-Colored Spirit Saliva, Teacher, after you refine it, your soul force should reach the Mid-Spirit Realm."

Xiao Yan said with a smile.

Medicine Elder also revealed a smile.

"Teacher, goodbye. I'm going to see Xiao Yi Xian."

With that, Xiao Yan vanished from the lakeshore.

"That brat just resolved the toxins of his Calamity Poison Body, and he's already going to see Xiao Yi Xian. He's far too lustful."

Medicine Elder shook his head. His illusory body floated to the lotus platform, and he closed his eyes to nourish his soul.

Inside the villa, after more than an hour of intense lovemaking, Xiao Yan and Xiao Yi Xian rested one after the other.

Still immersed in the lingering aftermath of their battle, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes were unfocused.

"Brother Xiao Yan, have you resolved your Calamity Poison Body?"

Xiao Yi Xian traced circles on Xiao Yan's chest with her slender jade-like finger as she asked.

"I have."

Xiao Yan nodded, his right hand stroking her smooth, delicate back as he replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian turned over and lay on Xiao Yan's chest. Her twin peaks were pressed into flat round cakes, causing Xiao Yan's Supreme Bone to rise again.

"Then can I activate my Calamity Poison Body?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Yan expectantly.

As Xiao Yan's strength continued to grow, Xiao Yi Xian also wanted to become stronger.

Although the heaven and earth energy within the Portable Space was dense, her cultivation talent was ordinary. At present, she was only a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner.

She had only become a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner after several rounds of Dual Cultivation with Xiao Yan, with Xiao Yan cultivating on her behalf.

However, the strength gained this way left her Dou Qi extremely unstable, so she had been constantly consolidating her cultivation.

After fiercely kissing her on the lips, Xiao Yan smiled and said,

"Why are you so eager to activate the Calamity Poison Body? The strength of a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner is already not low. Even Nalan Yanran is only a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner right now.

"Once you consolidate your cultivation, the next time we engage in Dual Cultivation, I'll help you break through to Dou Master."

Without Gu He's medicinal pills, although Nalan Yanran had good talent, she had not broken through to Dou Master. She had remained at Nine-Star Dou Practitioner for nearly half a year.

"My strength is too low. I can't even help Brother Xiao Yan. Last time, even Sister Qing Lin helped recruit the Sand Mercenary Group."

Xiao Yi Xian pouted slightly. Her slender waist swayed back and forth, making Xiao Yan burn with desire.

Xiao Yan pressed both hands onto her shoulders to stop her from moving around, or another fierce battle would break out.

"The reason I was able to resolve the Calamity Poison Body was that I used flames to forge my entire body and drove out the toxins fused into my flesh. You do not have my physique. Having flames forge your body would be extremely painful, and you might not be able to endure it."

"Brother Xiao Yan, trust me. I can endure it."

"Enough, Xian'er. Even if you activate the Calamity Poison Body now, you have no cultivation method. I can transform poisonous Dou Qi into Flame Mantra Dou Qi only because I cultivate the Flame Mantra."

"For now, study the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture properly and prepare more poisons."

After soothing Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Yan left the villa, went to the lakeshore, scooped up the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python that was swimming in the lake, and returned to his inn room.

At this time, dawn had just broken.
