Someone Had Invaded This Place

Crackle!

Under the silver moon, Xiao Yi Xian rested her head on her hands beside the fire, boredly watching the grass carp roasting nearby.

This was the small valley where Xiao Yi Xian had brought anti-inflammatory medicine in the original story—a natural basin shrouded in mist overhead. Ordinary people truly would not be able to find this place.

The Dou Qi here was also exceptionally dense, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. Various precious medicinal herbs grew throughout the valley, their fragrance mingling with the mist and refreshing the mind.

Just as her thoughts wandered, the sweet fragrance of grilled fish drifted over. She took a bite, and the crisp texture was truly irresistible.

The original owner's memories were simply treasures to her, as was this body. Without the original Xiao Yi Xian's memories, she definitely would not have been able to grill such delicious fish.

Children without parents truly grew up early...

When Xiao Yi Xian was six, she accidentally consumed a poisonous fruit for the first time and awakened her Calamity Poison Body, killing everyone in the valley, including her relatives.

After that, she wandered alone, walking forward aimlessly like a living corpse until she begged her way to Qingshan Town.

There, she learned what an apothecary was. She secretly studied step by step and slowly rose to her current position.

Unfortunately, this world ultimately revered the strong. From Dou Qi, Dou Zhe, Dou Shi, Da Dou Shi, Dou Ling, Dou Wang, Dou Huang, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng, and the legendary Dou Di Realm that would soon appear in the future.

Had one not seen Eighth-grade Alchemist Yao Chen reduced to a soul body, barely clinging to life—

Had one not seen Little Marten of the neighboring Martial Universe, blessed with extraordinary talent and strength second only to the second echelon of experts, also fall into becoming a soul body—

Had one not seen the Nine Netherworld Bird of the Great Thousand World's second-echelon race become a being similar to a soul body after undergoing its tribulation—

Whether in her previous life or this one, the law of the jungle had always been displayed in all its brutality.

Looking at the silver moon so close at hand, tears faintly welled in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. The fish in her mouth seemed like the most delicious thing in the world.

By the firelight, Xiao Yi Xian carefully read the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. The poisons within made her eyes light up.

This world was far too vast. Only by continuously learning and growing stronger could she climb step by step to the peak.

She was no longer Xiao Yixian from her previous life, nor was she the Xiao Yi Xian of the past. They seemed indistinguishable from one another, both struggling to survive.

She had the heart to ascend to the peak...

She had the heart to heal the world...

She had the heart to sympathize with those who shared her affliction...

Chirp chirp!

Xiao Lan lay in a patch of grass, tilting its bird head as it watched Xiao Yi Xian still reading the scroll. It did not know why, but whenever its master was nearby, it felt especially safe.

It vaguely remembered being saved by a purple figure back then. Even now, that kindness remained vivid in its memory.

From time to time, a gentle breeze stirred its pale blue feathers, while the wisps of grass around it swayed as if drifting like immortals.

When the first ray of sunlight shone upon Xiao Yi Xian's face, her eyelids trembled slightly from the brightness.

Xiao Yi Xian awoke from her dreams, glanced at Xiao Lan, which was still asleep, then looked at the fire that had somehow gone out.

She had spent a long time reading the scroll yesterday. Stretching her slender waist, she looked at the clear blue sky. This was perhaps the bluest sky she had ever seen.

Even the rising sun in the east was especially red...

The first thing she did after leaving the grass hut was refine poison. The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture recorded a colorless, odorless lethal poison. Even a Da Dou Shi risked death if they carelessly touched it.

Xiao Yi Xian used a small hoe to dig up medicinal ingredients, digging a little here and a little there. Several hours passed before she had gathered everything she needed.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Xiao Yi Xian followed the instructions in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture and produced a bowl of poison powder.

As she looked at the poison powder before her, waves of longing gradually rose from within her body.

Xiao Yi Xian suppressed the urge. The fusion of her two lifetimes' souls had also brought her to the mid-stage of the Mortal Realm. After putting some poison powder away, she swallowed the rest.

The instant she consumed it, the Calamity Poison Body within her erupted. The meridians in her body seemed to twist together, and purple mist even began spreading around Xiao Yi Xian.

Beneath the purple mist, the lush green grass around her seemed to rot and collapse onto the ground.

The feeling of poison devouring her body made her let out a muffled groan, cold sweat continuously dripping from her forehead to the ground.

Chirp chirp!

Xiao Lan circled endlessly above Xiao Yi Xian. Seeing its master curled into a ball, her face filled with pain, it could not approach because of the purple mist surrounding her.

At that moment, a burst of bird cries came from outside, followed by light footsteps approaching from afar. A voice drifted over casually.

"Oh? I never expected such a treasure land to exist in the outer region of the Monster Mountain Range."

"You really made me search hard. If I did not have a marker, I truly would not have dared charge into a place so thick with mist."

Xiao Lan cried out warily toward the people in the west. It could sense that there were quite a few of them.

Seven or eight people passed through the mist surrounding the small valley and entered it. The familiar figure leading them was Muli.

"Hm, a first-tier magical beast?"

Muli glanced at Xiao Lan in the sky without paying it any mind. He had just ridden here on a first-tier magical beast bird. Otherwise, he truly would not have been able to get through.

He looked at Xiao Yi Xian, surrounded by purple mist, with some confusion.

"Go see what happened to Xiao Yi Xian."

"Yes!"

The six people behind Muli heard the young regiment leader's order. They stamped their feet, releasing Dou Qi as they swiftly rushed toward Xiao Yi Xian.

Seeing someone trying to harm her master, Xiao Lan let out a cry and swooped down, its enormous claws striking toward one of them.

That person sneered disdainfully when he saw Xiao Lan charging at him. Dou Qi gathered in his palm, and with one slap, he sent Xiao Lan flying.

Xiao Lan crawled on the ground, its bright feathers scattered across the earth alongside streaks of blood. It watched in despair as the group approached its master.

It was ultimately only one of the lowest creatures in the Monster Mountain Range. It did not possess great strength.

The six people surrounded Xiao Yi Xian, while Muli laughed and slowly walked over.

One of them was curious about the mist surrounding Xiao Yi Xian. The moment he touched it, powerful poison invaded the eight extraordinary meridians throughout his body.

In only an instant, his eyes rolled back like those of a dead fish, and he fell to the ground without a breath.

"This is..."

The remaining five people were also filled with lingering fear at the sight. This mist was actually poisonous.

Muli walked over, glanced at the corpse on the ground, then kicked it aside. Spitting disdainfully, he said, "Bad luck!"

Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's current state, he felt as though he had seen these symptoms somewhere before. What exactly was it?

"Purple mist?"

"A Poison Master?"

"And clearly something unusual..."

Muli rubbed his chin, his mind racing as he carefully recalled the books he had read over the years. His talent and ambition had led him to study many ancient texts.

The mercenaries beside him watched their young regiment leader think, not daring to make a sound for fear of disturbing him.

Who knew how long passed...

"Ahem. No matter what, Xiao Yi Xian actually has the talent of a Poison Master. She must pay the price for setting foot on this path."

The people around him nodded at Muli's words...

Poison Masters had always been detested by everyone...

What they could not imagine was that Xiao Yi Xian, whose future had seemed so bright, had chosen to become one of those Poison Masters who fled everywhere like stray dogs.

No wonder she had left Myriad Medicine Hall. They had even heard that she had taken quite a few treasures with her. As they looked at Xiao Yi Xian, different thoughts arose in their minds.
