Calamity Poison Body and the Poison Pill Method

After his cultivation technique leveled up, Xiao Yang gained 20% more Universal Experience from killing magical beasts and from his own cultivation!

That was no small difference.

With the bonuses from fighting enemies above his level and the doubling card, that meant four times more points!

The gap widened all at once.

Not only that, after upgrading his cultivation technique, Xiao Yang's strength also saw a massive increase. The boost from the technique became even greater for him!

[Flame Manipulation Art: Low Earth-tier cultivation technique. Can condense fire-attributed battle qi into tangible flames.

Total battle qi and cultivation speed bonus: +350%

Experience bonus: +60%

Battle qi quality bonus: +180%

Shop points required to upgrade: 16.8 million]

His overall strength had at least doubled compared to before!

Of course, Xiao Yang dared to do this because completing the upcoming mission would earn him a huge amount of points again.

Xiao Yang had just recovered his energy when he stepped out of the wooden hut and saw Little Fairy Doctor cooking.

"You're done cultivating?"

"Come eat with me."

Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xiao Yang and said with a smile.

Over this period of time, Little Fairy Doctor had become much more familiar with Xiao Yang.

In her eyes, Xiao Yang was fun to talk to, powerful, handsome—most importantly—and even an alchemist!

Not only that, he had saved her before.

If Xiao Yang had not caught her back then, she might have fallen off the cliff.

Even Xiao Lan could not guarantee that she would be able to catch her.

After all, falling to the ground was not the only way to get hurt after plunging off a cliff.

With Little Fairy Doctor's constitution, getting struck by a stone jutting out from the cliff wall would have been enough to kill her.

And if not for Xiao Yang, she might not have come out well against Mu Li either.

That night, she had also seen Mu Li's true colors clearly.

Comparing Mu Li with Xiao Yang, Little Fairy Doctor had developed quite a favorable impression of Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang did not stand on ceremony. He walked over to Little Fairy Doctor's side and began eating with her.

Soon after they finished, Xiao Yang willed it, and a ball of dark crimson flame appeared in his hand.

The grease stains on the tableware and cookware before them were instantly burned into nothingness.

Little Fairy Doctor watched Xiao Yang's display, her eyes filled with envy.

She had always dreamed of becoming an alchemist.

Unfortunately, her own affinity made it impossible for her to become one.

After casually rinsing the burned-clean tableware and cookware with water, Xiao Yang handed them to Little Fairy Doctor.

His control over fire was quite good now. While the flames burned away the stains, they did not damage the tableware or cookware in the slightest.

Once he saw Little Fairy Doctor put everything away, Xiao Yang looked at her with a serious expression.

"I want to tell you something."

Seeing Xiao Yang's solemn face, Little Fairy Doctor seemed to think of something, and a faint blush flashed across her face.

"Mm, go ahead."

With a thought from Xiao Yang, a scroll appeared in his hand.

Four words were written on the scroll—Seven-Colored Poison Manual!

"You'll understand once you read the contents at the end of this poison manual."

Hearing that, Little Fairy Doctor took the Seven-Colored Poison Manual curiously.

She was skilled at preparing poisons herself, so she was quite interested in this Seven-Colored Poison Manual.

However, she did not read the poison recipes at the front. Instead, she flipped directly to the back to examine what Xiao Yang wanted her to see.

Gradually, the flush on Little Fairy Doctor's face faded away, and the color slowly drained from her lips as well.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Xiao Yang's mind.

"Congratulations, player, for completing side quest—Save Little Fairy Doctor—Stage 1!"

"Congratulations, player, for obtaining the rewards: Poison Pill Method, Universal Experience +100000, Shop Points +1000000."

Xiao Yang did not claim the rewards immediately. Instead, he looked at Little Fairy Doctor with some concern.

After spending the past month together, the two could be considered friends. Besides, Little Fairy Doctor was so beautiful that it was only natural to like her.

So Xiao Yang was somewhat worried about her current state.

Bang!

After an unknown amount of time, the scroll in Little Fairy Doctor's hand fell to the ground with a soft sound.

Her face was deathly pale now, and her gaze was somewhat unfocused.

She stared blankly into the empty space before her, no one knowing what she was thinking.

Soon, two trails of clear tears slid down Little Fairy Doctor's face.

Yet her eyes remained hollow.

She cried silently like this, as though her soul had left her body.

Looking at the girl before him, Xiao Yang could not help but sigh.

Sigh—

Anyone who saw such a scene would feel some heartache.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yang decided to claim the rewards first.

He mainly wanted to take a look at the Poison Pill Method.

Soon, as Xiao Yang claimed the rewards, a massive amount of information appeared in his mind.

With Xiao Yang's current soul realm, he quickly absorbed all of the information.

A trace of surprise soon flashed through his eyes.

The Poison Pill Method he had obtained indeed contained the method Medicine Elder had mentioned in the original story.

That method had already been proven feasible in the original story.

But the Poison Pill Method obtained from the system had an enhanced version!

It required adding one more treasure!

Netherworld Poison Flame!

For the Calamity Poison Body, Netherworld Poison Flame was simply the perfect match.

By adding Netherworld Poison Flame to the Poison Pill Method, not only could the cultivation speed of the Calamity Poison Body be increased once more, but those poisons could also become easier to control.

More than that, after fusing with Netherworld Poison Flame, the Calamity Poison Body's owner would experience a tremendous surge in strength!

Simply refining Netherworld Poison Flame could indeed prevent the poison body from erupting, but it could also lead to losing control of the flames, causing both the Heavenly Flame and the poison body to erupt at once.

The Poison Pill Method could eliminate that concern.

At this moment, Xiao Yang could not help but marvel at the power of this method.

He estimated that if he could obtain Netherworld Poison Flame and use the most perfect method to resolve Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body, the reward for Stage 3 would definitely be far greater than that of the ordinary method.

After understanding the Poison Pill Method, Xiao Yang finally spoke.

"You have the Calamity Poison Body, don't you?"

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, some life finally returned to Little Fairy Doctor's eyes. They were no longer completely lifeless.

However, her eyes were still filled with sorrow, pain, and despair.

Seeing how utterly broken she looked, Xiao Yang instinctively stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

Once she entered Xiao Yang's embrace, Little Fairy Doctor could no longer hold it in.

She cried so hard that the world seemed to spin around her, her whole body nearly convulsing.

"Waaah—"

Xiao Yang patted Little Fairy Doctor's back and comforted her softly.

"Don't worry. The Calamity Poison Body is not without a solution."

"Although it's difficult, there is still a way to solve it."

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly raised her head and looked at him in disbelief.

"Really?"

At this moment, her gaze toward Xiao Yang was filled with expectation.

Although the Seven-Colored Poison Manual she had just read said that the Calamity Poison Body had no cure, Xiao Yang's words still gave Little Fairy Doctor a glimmer of hope.

Seeing the expectant look in Little Fairy Doctor's eyes, Xiao Yang nodded firmly.

"That's right!"
