Calamity Poison Body

Meanwhile, Hai Bodong used the resources in his Storage Ring.

That he had taken out.

To cultivate.

The idle Xiao Yi Xian.

Curiously began studying.

The medicinal herbs in this small valley.

After observing for half a month.

Xiao Yi Xian gradually realized that Hai Bodong, this powerful expert, probably had no special designs on her.

Thus, seeing that Hai Bodong seemed to have finished cultivating today, she bravely stepped forward and asked:

"May I ask, Senior, it seems your cultivation has already achieved some success."

"Can you let me go now?"

"Mm, I'm leaving this place as well."

"If you want to leave, then go."

Hai Bodong paused, then spoke again:

"Uh... anyway, I won't be coming back here in the future. If you want these medicinal herbs, take some with you. Consider it compensation from me."

"After all, I could have let you go earlier, but I'm rather afraid of trouble. Letting you go too soon might have attracted some annoying flies."

"Hehe! How could I possibly accept that!"

The moment she finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian's eyes lit up, and she hurried off to gather the medicinal herbs in the small valley.

After all, after half a month of observation.

Xiao Yi Xian knew very well that many of the herbs in this small valley were things she wanted.

If she had not been afraid that Senior Hai Bodong would blame her afterward, she would have long since picked these herbs for experiments and improved her skills as an apothecary.

"Disciple! After observing her over these past days, I believe this little girl's constitution is the legendary Calamity Poison Body, and it seems to have erupted once already."

At that moment, the Bone Flame Ring on Hai Bodong's hand.

Suddenly transmitted Old Yao's voice.

"Calamity Poison Body? What kind of constitution is that?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong hurriedly asked in confusion.

"Hehe! Let me explain it simply! Dou Qi cultivators with this constitution..."

"Do not need to spend years upon years cultivating Dou Qi in order to raise their cultivation."

"Because if they wish to grow stronger, they only need to consume more potent poisons!"

"The toxicity within the poisons they consume is transformed by the unique power of the Calamity Poison Body's special bloodline."

"Into a special kind of poisonous Dou Qi."

"The stronger the poison, the more it benefits the strength of those with this constitution."

"Therefore, possessors of the Calamity Poison Body do not need arduous cultivation. As long as they continuously consume stronger poisons, they can rapidly increase their strength."

Seeing his disciple's confusion.

Old Yao patiently began to explain.

"What! Then by your reasoning, isn't the little girl before me a true genius!"

In response to Hai Bodong's surprise, Old Yao in the Bone Flame Ring patiently explained again: "Hehe!"

"How could it be so simple! Disciple, you must understand that everything has cause and effect! Though this constitution has many benefits, poison is still poison!"

"Although possessors of the Calamity Poison Body can temporarily alleviate the backlash of Calamity Poison Power."

"If this continues and the cultivator consumes more and more poison, eventually reaching the point where even the Calamity Poison Body can no longer suppress the poisonous Dou Qi within their body."

"By then..."

"The possessor of the Calamity Poison Body will slowly die amid the ultimate agony of countless poisons devouring their body."

"Moreover, as the possessor of the Calamity Poison Body approaches death, the Calamity Poison Power within their body will erupt completely beyond their control."

"It is said that there was once a possessor of the Calamity Poison Body at the Dou Zong level. When the Calamity Poison Power erupted after his death, it directly poisoned most of an entire empire's population to death."

Old Yao paused, then slowly continued:

"However, Disciple, you can try keeping this little girl by your side. Perhaps she may become quite a useful aid to you in the future."

"Master, if the Calamity Poison Body is so dangerous, why do you want me to keep this little girl by my side? Wouldn't that be like keeping a ticking bomb beside me?" Hai Bodong asked.

Somewhat confused as well.

"Hehe! Would your master say such nonsense if I had not made preparations for it?"

"Don't worry! I happen to possess a Poison Pill Method that I acquired by chance!"

"As long as you gather three kinds of Heavenly Flames, a portion of Bodhi Body Birth, and the beast core of a Seventh-Order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, you can completely control the Calamity Poison Body."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong said excitedly:

"Haha! If that is what you say, Master!"

"If I can fuse multiple Heavenly Flames in the future, then this little girl truly would be a fine aid."

Hai Bodong paused, then spoke with some seriousness: "Moreover, even if I fail to gather the materials needed to perform the Poison Pill Method in the future, in order to prevent the forces of the Chu Yun Empire from growing stronger because of this, I, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, must still do my best to guide this little girl toward our Jia Ma Empire."

After saying this, Hai Bodong no longer hesitated. He immediately stepped forward, pulled over Xiao Yi Xian, who was busy gathering herbs, and asked:

"Little girl, hello! I am Hai Bodong, Supreme Elder of the Mite'er Family. I ask you now, are you willing to join my Mite'er Family?"

Wary of Hai Bodong's sudden enthusiasm, Xiao Yi Xian immediately refused:

"Thank you for your favor, Senior! I, Xiao Yi Xian, am merely an apothecary from the tiny Qingshan Town. How could I possibly be qualified to join the Mite'er Family you speak of?"

"Hehe! I know you are wary of an invitation from a stranger like me, but you truly need not harbor such meaningless concerns."

"After all, what I value is your unique talent, not you as a person."

"I believe that after all these years, you yourself should know that your constitution differs from ordinary people's, right?"

Hai Bodong paused, then told Xiao Yi Xian in earnest about the information Old Yao had previously told him...

Regarding the Calamity Poison Body.

And the corresponding Poison Pill Method.

Afterward, Hai Bodong invited Xiao Yi Xian once more:

"After saying all that, I, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, will seriously ask you one more time. Xiao Yi Xian, apothecary of Qingshan Town, are you willing to join my Mite'er Family?"

"Since Senior has persuaded me so sincerely, what reason could I have to refuse?"

After a brief moment of hesitation.

As though she had already made some decision, Xiao Yi Xian slowly nodded in agreement.

As though suddenly recalling something, Xiao Yi Xian paused, then spoke again somewhat bashfully:

"Well, may I ask, Senior, before you take me away from here, could you spare a little effort?"

"To accompany me and explore a cave that I happened to discover not long ago while gathering herbs in the Monster Mountain Range?" Regarding Xiao Yi Xian's request.

Hai Bodong had no intention of asking further.

After all, since Xiao Yi Xian had taken the initiative to ask.

It was not a major matter anyway.

So he agreed without hesitation.
