"You... you really have a way to control the Woeful Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in disbelief. Ever since learning of her terrifying constitution, she had pored over countless ancient books, hoping to find some way to overcome it, only to come up empty-handed. As time passed, she had resigned herself to her fate. Yet now Xiao Yan was telling her that he could solve her problem. Naturally, she found it difficult to accept all at once.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Xiao Yan flicked a finger, and a wisp of deep-blue flame floated into view. "Do you know what this is? It's a Heavenly Flame, something every Alchemist dreams of obtaining. I imagine you know how miraculous Heavenly Flames are, don't you? With its help, I can control your Woeful Poison Body, so you'll never have to suffer that backlash from your poisonous energy again."
He did not tell Xiao Yi Xian about the other materials. Those two items were far too precious, after all. If he mentioned them, explaining them alone would take ages, so he simply kept them to himself. With her limited experience, she knew nothing about those things anyway. The Heavenly Flame alone was enough to convince her.
"So this is a Heavenly Flame..." Looking at the uncanny flame in Xiao Yan's palm, Xiao Yi Xian rubbed her eyes to make sure they were not playing tricks on her.
Although she was not an Alchemist, she knew how precious Heavenly Flames were. Since she revered Alchemists as though they were gods, she naturally regarded such flames as supreme existences. Moreover, Xiao Yan had always seemed capable of anything in her eyes. With those two things combined, Xiao Yi Xian firmly believed his claim that he could control the Heavenly Flame!
