Upon hearing this, Medicine Elder was immediately puzzled. "A special constitution? What kind of special constitution does this young lady possess that she cannot even absorb the Foundation-Building Elixir refined by me?"

Little Fairy's expression changed slightly at those words. Though she did not know the background of the old man in black robes, she instinctively feared her own secret and subconsciously reached out to tug at An Yi's sleeve.

An Yi gently patted the back of her hand and gave her a reassuring look.

He said nothing.

Instead, he slowly raised his right hand.

"Buzz—"

Gengjin Dou Qi instantly began to circulate.

An Yi curled his fingers into a pen, releasing his Dou Qi and inscribing four small characters in the air with sweeping strokes. They glowed with a faint golden light as they hovered before Medicine Elder.

Disaster Poison Body.

The moment he saw those four words, Medicine Elder's pupils contracted sharply beneath his black robe. "This... it's actually that kind of constitution?!"

An Yi waved his hand and dispersed the Dou Qi characters. Seeing Medicine Elder's shocked expression, he calmly asked, "It seems you are indeed widely knowledgeable, sir. You really know of this constitution?"

Medicine Elder drew a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and smiled bitterly. "As an alchemist, I have naturally heard of such a constitution."

He looked at Little Fairy with a complicated gaze. "I simply did not expect to encounter such a poison body in a remote place like Wutan City. Judging by her condition... it has already awakened?"

"Yes." An Yi nodded.

Medicine Elder let out a long sigh, his tone carrying a trace of regret. "Then this is troublesome. While this poison body allows cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds, as toxins accumulate endlessly, she will eventually suffer ten thousand poisons devouring her body and die from the backlash. There is no cure."

"Since you are so well-informed, sir," An Yi said, staring intently at him, "do you know of any way to resolve this, or suppress the outbreak of this poison body?"

Medicine Elder fell silent for a moment.

If anyone else had asked, he might have simply said there was no way. But for the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire map, he had to give up something genuine.

"There is... not absolutely no way."

Medicine Elder slowly said, "I have indeed collected some folk remedies related to suppressing poison bodies. However, these methods are exceedingly difficult, and their requirements are extremely harsh. It depends on whether you have the ability to gather those items."

"What method? Please, go on," An Yi pressed.

Medicine Elder took the opportunity to name his terms. "I can give you the solution, but in exchange, that fragment of the map will belong to me. What do you think?"

An Yi did not agree immediately. Instead, he said very cautiously, "Sir, that is not how business is done. You decided to buy my map fragment only after I showed it to you."

"As for this so-called 'solution' of yours, I should at least inspect the goods first, shouldn't I? What if you casually toss me some worthless quack remedy to fool me? Wouldn't I be taking a huge loss?"

Medicine Elder was amused by his cautious merchant mentality. "You little brat, you have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. Fine, that is only natural."

As he spoke, Medicine Elder flicked his wrist, took out a slightly worn ancient scroll from his Storage Ring, and tossed it directly to An Yi.

"This scroll was something I obtained by chance years ago. It contains detailed records of all sorts of secrets regarding poison bodies."

Medicine Elder explained, "It records several theoretical methods for suppressing toxins. Among them is a practical Poison Pill Method capable of completely controlling a poison body!"

"But let me make this clear first—the difficulty of this Poison Pill Method is practically comparable to ascending to heaven."

An Yi took the scroll, opened it directly, and quickly scanned through it.

The contents were indeed detailed. Even the steps for condensing the Poison Pill Method were written with perfect clarity.

But just as Medicine Elder had said, whether it was any of those suppression methods or the "Poison Pill Method," their core requirement could not avoid one thing—Heavenly Flame!

The essence of the Disaster Poison Body was a cursed constitution that absorbed toxins without limit yet could not control them on its own.

Once the toxins within the body accumulated to its critical limit, they would erupt completely.

The root cause of this loss of control was simple: the fleshly body was a vessel, but it was too weak to suppress ten thousand poisons. In the end, the toxins would build up, attack the heart, and devour their host in backlash!

Among the five elements of heaven and earth, deadly poisons often belonged to "yin wood" or "filthy earth," carrying powerful traits of decay, corruption, and darkness.

Thus, only a heavenly wonder as violent, unyielding, and yang as a Heavenly Flame could use absolute heat and destructive power to forcibly burn away, refine, and suppress the toxins accumulated within the body!

After reading the scroll, An Yi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"So only an overwhelmingly unyielding and yang force of destruction can forcibly suppress those foul yin toxins..."

An Yi quietly calculated in his heart.

If the core principle behind suppressing the poison body was to overcome finesse with force, using absolute ferocity to restrain the corruption of yin poison...

Then what about the White Tiger Bloodline within him?

Just as An Yi stroked his chin and silently considered whether the domineering White Tiger Bloodline within his body could forcibly suppress the Disaster Poison Body, the door to the VIP waiting room was gently pushed open.

Having finished handling the closing matters of the earlier auction, Ya Fei walked in with a slightly weary yet still utterly charming gait.

The moment she entered, she saw the tall young man in white seated on the sofa, wearing a silver mask, as well as the ethereal young woman in a white dress beside him.

Ya Fei frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashing through her eyes. Seeing this, the maid waiting outside the reception room hurried forward and reported in a low voice, "Lady Ya Fei, this young master said he had arranged to meet with you."

"Arranged to meet with me?"

Ya Fei's eyelid twitched.

As the chief auctioneer of the Mittel Auction House, she faced countless fawning admirers every day, all trying every possible method and excuse to get close to her.

She instinctively assumed this was another supposedly dashing young master from some noble clan. She was just about to put on her professional fake smile and dismiss him casually.

However, when she stepped closer and her gaze swept over his eye-catching silver-white hair, as well as those clear blue eyes behind the mask that seemed to be smiling...

The professional fake smile on Ya Fei's face instantly froze.

Leaning back against the sofa, An Yi waved at her. His voice beneath the mask carried a familiar laziness. "Sister Ya Fei, long time no see."

Hearing that infuriating tone, Ya Fei drew a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the storm raging in her heart. With an unnatural expression, she lowered her voice and asked, "You... you little menace, why have you come back to Wutan City again?"

"Just passing by. I came to see you while I was at it." An Yi shrugged. "I'm not interrupting your business, am I?"

Ya Fei glared at him and ground her teeth as she whispered, "Of course you are not interrupting anything! But I have an honored guest to receive right now. Go wait in my little courtyard out back first, and stop wandering around here!"

"Got it."

An Yi nodded and rose to his feet.

He put the scroll in his Storage Ring, turned toward Medicine Elder beneath the black robe opposite him, and snapped his fingers.

"Sir, this deal is done."

"However, there are some professional terms regarding alchemy and toxicology in this scroll that an outsider like me does not quite understand. I would like to seek some private guidance from you, Senior. I wonder if you... have time?"

Medicine Elder put the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire map into his Storage Ring, then coldly replied with two words.

"No."

An Yi's eyebrow lifted slightly as he flipped his wrist.

"Whoosh."

A black scroll emitting strange energy fluctuations appeared in his palm.

"Ah, that really is a pity."

As An Yi casually played with the scroll in his hand, he introduced it in an utterly offhand tone.

"To be honest, this thing in my hand is called Wings of the Eagle. It is a rare flight Dou technique. Once mastered, even cultivators below the Dou King realm can grow wings ahead of time and gain the ability to soar through the skies."

At this point, An Yi paused and looked at the black-robed figure opposite him through his mask, his eyes seemingly smiling.

"Senior, do you... have time now?"

A brief dead silence fell over the waiting room.

A moment later, an elderly voice that could not conceal its amusement came from beneath the black robe.

"Hehe... since you are so eager to learn, I naturally have time."

For Xiao Yan, who was not even a Dou Practitioner at this stage, the temptation of a flight Dou technique was simply an irresistible divine skill!

Naturally, Medicine Elder had to find a way to obtain it for him.
