Resolving the Poison Body

Lin Qing and Lin Qi feared they might have missed other precious items, so they searched every corner of the stone chamber, practically digging three feet into the ground.

In the end, Lin Qing really did dig up a massive piece of white jade three zhang beneath the flower bed. It weighed several hundred jin and was not particularly regular in shape.

Although he did not recognize it, he could tell at a glance that it was a treasure! The Ancestral Stone inside him had stirred, displaying a craving for this jade.

The moment he approached the jade, he felt utterly refreshed, and even the bottleneck of his Dou Spirit cultivation had begun to loosen.

Carefully storing the jade in the System Space, he decided to study it after returning.

"Looks like there really aren't any other secret chambers or omissions!"

Only after he and Lin Qi thoroughly turned the stone chamber inside out three times did Lin Qing finally confirm it.

It was not that he was being overly cautious. He had originally been ready to leave, only for a Storage Ring to appear, followed by this strange jade.

By the time the two emerged from the Cave Dwelling, dawn had broken, and the system's voice sounded in his mind right on schedule.

[ Ding! A new system mission has been issued. It has been detected that the host has taken Little Fairy Doctor as a maid. Because she possesses the Calamity Poison Body, the following choices have been triggered: ]

[ Choice 1: Use the Jade Infant Fruit to completely resolve Little Fairy Doctor's constitution. (Note: After consuming the Jade Infant Fruit, its power of creation will perfect the Calamity Poison Body into the Profound Yin Sacred Body. Her Dou Qi attribute will become ice. This constitution is a top-tier cultivation furnace constitution and a top-tier cultivation constitution... Upon reaching Dou Venerable, the constitution's divine ability, Profound Yin Palm, can be unlocked.) Reward: Ice Ancestral Talisman ]

[ Choice 2: Continue with your original plan and use the Poison Pill Method in the future to resolve the hidden danger of Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body. (Note: This method has not been fully perfected. To perfect it, the inheritance of the Calamity Poison Saint is required. Furthermore, due to the Poison Body, unless Little Fairy Doctor advances to an Immortal Heavenly Sovereign, she will be unable to leave behind descendants.) Reward: Poison Pill Method and a map to the Calamity Poison Saint's Tomb Mansion. ]

[ Choice 3: Take out the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and give it to Little Fairy Doctor. This method can also resolve the hidden danger of the Calamity Poison Body. (Note: This method can replace the Poison Pill Method, but after breaking through to Heavenly Sovereign, the Devouring Ancestral Talisman will lose its effect, and the Calamity Poison Body will erupt again!) Reward: Heartlink Pill ×2. (This pill is only effective when consumed by one man and one woman. The two who consume it will share life, death, and talent. A Saint-grade Heavenly Sovereign can undo it.) ]

[ Choice 4: Fob her off and have Little Fairy Doctor officially activate the Calamity Poison Body, making use of part of her value. Reward: one Thousand-Li Teleportation Talisman. (Can ignore spatial lockdowns below Five-Star Battle Saint.) ]

Looking at the choices before him, Lin Qing could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

I can obtain Choice 2's reward through other means in the future, and it has flaws. Choice 3 merely delays the risk. Is Choice 4 trying to turn me into a complete hypocrite?

I choose 1. But aren't you even pretending with Choice 1? Complementary to Profound Yang?

"Once I obtain the Ice Ancestral Talisman, I can give it to Little Fairy Doctor. Then I'll subdue the Amethyst Winged Lion King and restore Little Marten's soul..."

But did he really need to ask the Amethyst Winged Lion King?

Thinking of how Lin Qi had anxiously asked yesterday whether he no longer wanted her when he questioned the Flame Eagle, Lin Qing remembered that it was the first time she had gotten upset with him. From the moment she was born, she had regarded him as her mother. Later, he taught her to read and write, to distinguish basic right from wrong.

Forget it. There was no need to seek answers to some things. When she grew older, if she wanted to ask, she naturally would.

When the two returned to the Pocket World, they found Li Qingchan and Ling Qingzhu teaching Little Fairy Doctor and her mother how to cultivate. Lin Qing smiled helplessly.

"Xian'er, come over here. I'll resolve your Calamity Poison Body now."

Lin Qing said to Little Fairy Doctor.

"Okay, Young Master!"

Little Fairy Doctor bowed somewhat stiffly.

Lin Qing merely smiled and did not stop her. Little Fairy Doctor's mother had probably taught her this. If he stopped her, they would likely feel uneasy.

Leading Little Fairy Doctor out of the Villa, Ling Qingzhu and Li Qingchan followed curiously. Little Fairy Doctor's mother did not follow.

Arriving at the stone table in the Small Courtyard, Lin Qing said to the four women, "Sit down first."

He took out a fragrant wooden box from the System Space. Inside was the Jade Infant Fruit, while the box itself was made from branches of the Jade Infant Fruit Tree, allowing it to preserve the fruit perfectly.

The branches were materials that could improve a wood spiritual root. Unfortunately, this was not a cultivation world, so neither he nor those around him could use them.

"This is the Jade Infant Fruit, a miraculous immortal fruit. Consuming it can not only extend one's lifespan by five thousand years, but also improve one's constitution and perfect its flaws. It contains miraculous power of creation, also known as source power, which can heal many injuries and restore damaged souls. This unique energy can allow someone to break through to Dou Emperor or Heavenly Sovereign. It comes from another world, blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit after another three thousand years, and matures after another three thousand years. It only produces ten fruits each time and is guarded by the immortal beast Chenghuang."

He deliberately said this for Ling Qingzhu and Li Qingchan to hear, making it easier to dangle promises before them in the future.

After saying that, Lin Qing opened the wooden box. A snow-white fruit the size of an adult's fist, shaped like an infant, appeared before them.

Clarity! It was an extraordinary clarity, not only in their bodies but also in their souls, as though they had instantly entered their best possible states! Ling Qingzhu and Li Qingchan felt that they could cross that bottleneck at any moment.

Inside Lin Qing's body, one of the five spikes on the sea urchin—the one that had begun to melt—instantly dissolved. A powerful aura spread from within him, but Lin Qing quickly dispersed it. His cultivation directly reached Six-Star Dou Spirit.

Among them, Ling Qingzhu was affected the most, because her Supreme Resonance Art had actually reacted.

That was Supreme Power? No, it should be power similar to the Supreme...

Ling Qingzhu's willow brows furrowed slightly as she thought to herself.

"Xian'er, eat it. From now on, you'll be a normal person!"

With that, he handed the wooden box to Little Fairy Doctor.

This time, Little Fairy Doctor did not hesitate. She carefully accepted the wooden box.

Sooner or later, she would be his anyway. She had long since devoted herself to him. In the future, she only hoped she could create even greater value for him.

Ling Qingzhu and Li Qingchan also suppressed the agitation in their hearts. Although they coveted the Jade Infant Fruit, since they could not fight for it, they could only ask whether this young man had any more.

Yet they had their own principles and would not take the initiative to ask for one.

Still, seeing Lin Qing use such a precious treasure on Little Fairy Doctor so generously and without hesitation, coupled with their interactions over the past few days, they could confirm that Lin Qing truly was a gentleman. This improved their impression of him even further.

Lin Qi simply felt that her brother was amazing, able to obtain even such precious things.

"Don't worry. I still have more of these immortal fruits. As long as you work hard, when you advance to Heavenly Sovereign in the future, I'll give each of you one."

Lin Qing said to the three women beside him.
