Not Borrowing a Heavenly Flame, but Forcibly Remolding the Body with Blood Essence? Medicine Elder: This Kid's Idea Is Too Crazy!

"Alright, I believe you." Ya Fei nodded, then asked, "So how long are you planning to stay in Wutan City this time?"

"I'll probably be staying here for a while."

An Yi turned to glance at Little Fairy beside him. "Little Fairy's body has a rather troublesome problem. I came back this time to see if I can find a way to solve it."

A trace of surprise flashed through Ya Fei's beautiful eyes. A problem that even An Yi found troublesome was certainly no small matter.

She immediately stated, "Since she's your friend, if there are any rare medicinal ingredients you need the auction house to find, or any intelligence you need gathered, just say the word. I won't refuse."

"I happen to have a matter of utmost urgency that I need Sister Ya Fei to help me resolve immediately!" An Yi abruptly sat upright, staring at her with bright eyes.

Ya Fei was startled by his grave expression, and her own face tensed up as she hurriedly asked, "What is it? Why is it so urgent? Hurry and tell me!"

An Yi clutched his stomach and let out a long sigh, his voice filled with resentment and grievance:

"I've been hungry for an entire day! Sister Ya Fei, doesn't your auction house provide meals?!"

"..."

The tension on Ya Fei's face instantly froze, and several dark lines faintly appeared across her forehead.

She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the urge to smash the teapot on the table over this little brat's head. Both annoyed and amused, she snapped, "If you were hungry, couldn't you have just told the maid in the front hall?! What kind of profound act are you putting on here?!"

"How was I supposed to know that the chief auctioneer would be so busy all day that you'd leave me waiting in the reception room for so long?"

Ya Fei helplessly shook her head, rose to her feet, and headed for the door. "Alright, alright, I know you must have been a starving ghost in your previous life. You two sit here and rest for a while. I'll have the kitchen prepare something for you right away."

The next day.

It was not until evening, when the setting sun painted Wutan City's streets gold, that Xiao Yan finally arrived at the Mittel Auction House at an unhurried pace.

To be honest, Xiao Yan did not have particularly high expectations for that so-called Pure Lotus Demon Fire Remnant Map Medicine Elder had gotten from An Yi yesterday.

Something like a Heavenly Flame was simply too distant and illusory for him at his current level.

With only that broken map, so incomplete that even its landmarks could not be identified, who knew when he would ever gather enough clues to find the complete map?

But! As for the High Profound Tier flying Dou Technique, Wings of the Eagle, in An Yi's possession—the one that could let someone soar through the skies—Xiao Yan desperately wanted it!

Medicine Elder had mentioned before that once his cultivation had stabilized further, he intended to have Xiao Yan leave the sheltered greenhouse of the Xiao Household and venture into the vast outside world, perhaps even undergo brutal training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

If he could obtain a flying Dou Technique for protection at a time like this, Xiao Yan's survival and self-defense capabilities would receive an absolutely epic boost!

In the dangerous wilderness, having one more trump card meant that he would no longer need to rely on his teacher to save him from everything in the future.

Xiao Yan was still dressed as that thoroughly concealed old man in black robes.

However, compared to yesterday, today's black robes seemed wrapped even more tightly around him. Even his hood was pulled extremely low, as though he feared exposing the slightest flaw.

Upon arriving at the auction house, the well-prepared Ya Fei immediately understood and arranged for them to use a secluded, superbly soundproofed top-tier VIP lounge. She also instructed the maids to guard it closely, ensuring that absolutely no one would come to disturb them.

Inside the lounge, An Yi and Little Fairy had already been sitting on the sofa waiting for quite some time.

Before pushing open the door, Medicine Elder immediately took control of Xiao Yan's body within his Mind Sea.

There was no helping it. He could not afford to be careless!

An Yi was now a genuine Great Dou Master!

Not to mention that terrifying body of his, tempered through countless trials and comparable to that of a magical beast. Once he noticed a flaw, or if negotiations broke down and they came to blows, a single slap could turn Xiao Yan, who was still utterly weak, into a pile of meat paste!

Although, based on Medicine Elder's secret observations and understanding of An Yi over the years, the boy was scheming and ruthless, but not some mindless lunatic who would kill at the slightest disagreement. On the contrary, he was exceptionally rational.

But when facing such a monstrous genius covered in secrets, caution was never wrong.

Medicine Elder pushed open the door and strode inside with steady steps.

Seeing him arrive, An Yi and Little Fairy politely rose to their feet as well.

"Sir." An Yi gave a slight nod.

Medicine Elder nodded, walked over to the sofa opposite them, and sat down. His voice had been disguised, making it sound aged and hoarse:

"Sit. You should have read the scroll I gave you. If there is anything you do not understand or have doubts about, raise it now. I can answer a few questions for you. But time is limited, so keep it brief."

An Yi sat back down and, without beating around the bush, said directly:

"I carefully studied the information on the scroll regarding the Disaster Poison Body. It said that the root cause of the Disaster Poison Body's loss of control lies in the host's body being too frail as a container for toxins, unable to suppress the countless poisons continuously accumulating within it. In the end, the toxins clog the heart and backfire upon the host."

"Moreover, because toxins possess an inherently dark and foul nature, they are naturally countered and suppressed by something as supremely yang and unyielding as a Heavenly Flame."

An Yi interlaced his fingers and stared intently at the black-robed figure.

"So, my thought is, setting Heavenly Flames aside, could some other force or object that also possesses an extremely yang and unyielding nature achieve the same suppressive effect as a Heavenly Flame?"

As he spoke, An Yi slowly raised his right hand.

"Buzz!"

With a low hum, a surge of pure, domineering, pale golden Gengjin Dou Qi, seemingly burning with tangible flames, instantly erupted from his palm!

"For example... my Dou Qi."

An Yi looked at the golden flames dancing in his palm and added, "And last night, I already had her take poison to test this. The facts proved... that it works. My Gengjin Dou Qi can indeed forcibly suppress the Poison Dou Qi in her body that was on the verge of forming!"

Hearing this, Medicine Elder beneath the black robes paused slightly, inwardly shocked.

This boy's Dou Qi was actually domineering to such an extent?

"Your Dou Qi is indeed extraordinary. It is not surprising that it can suppress poison."

Medicine Elder said in a deep voice, "But suppression is one matter, while curing the root cause is another. You cannot possibly go without food or drink for twelve hours every day and keep using your own Dou Qi to suppress her toxins, can you?"

"You've hit the key point, sir."

An Yi nodded, his gaze growing profound. "The reason my Dou Qi is so special is that I once accidentally fused with the blood essence of a powerful ancient magical beast. That bloodline power thoroughly remolded my body and also affected and mutated my Dou Qi attribute."

"So I was thinking..."

An Yi took a deep breath. "Since my Dou Qi can suppress her poison, then what if I use my own blood essence?"

"Since my bloodline was able to remold my body, could I use my blood essence to slightly remold hers as well? Make her originally frail body stronger, thereby raising the upper limit of her 'toxin container'? That way, she could independently suppress those toxins that might lose control at any moment?"

At this crazy proposal, the entire lounge fell into deathly silence.

Even Little Fairy beside him widened her eyes, staring at An Yi in utter disbelief as her heart pounded wildly.

Medicine Elder, upon hearing this, sank into prolonged contemplation.

With the insight of a Peak Dou Zun and the foundation of an Alchemy Grandmaster, his mind raced as he deduced the feasibility of this plan.

After a moment, Medicine Elder slowly spoke, his tone carrying a hint of amazement:

"Your idea... is utterly unconstrained, yet exceedingly bold. In theory... it is indeed feasible."

"However!"

Medicine Elder abruptly changed his tone, his voice becoming sterner. "You must understand that this method, in the end, is still a forceful suppression that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, rather than a true resolution!"

"Even if you truly use your blood essence, which contains the power of an ancient magical beast, to successfully remold her body, it would only delay the time before her poison body completely erupts!"

"Once a day comes when the toxins accumulated within her become powerful enough that even the body remolded by your blood essence cannot suppress them... her poison body will ultimately still erupt completely, and its eruption will be even more terrifying than before!"
