"Then why don't you test it?" Xiao Yan smiled mysteriously and opened the bottle.
"Test it? As if it could poison me, the number one alchemist on the continent!" Yao Lao released a wisp of soul power and probed into the jade bottle.
The moment his soul power touched the liquid inside, Yao Lao, who was completely unprepared, felt as if he had touched countless needle tips. He immediately retracted his soul power: "How can it even affect soul power?"
Xiao Yan chuckled and closed the bottle. "Didn't you know about this?"
"How would I know what you're thinking, you little rascal!" Yao Lao stared at the small bottle in shock.
He had only released a tiny wisp of soul power and was completely unprepared, leading to an unexpected mishap.
Based on this alone, this little thing really might be capable of killing a Dou Spirit-level expert.
Xiao Yan explained, "On the Dou Qi Continent, once a powerhouse reaches a certain level of strength, even if their physical body dies, their soul can still remain. Since this is something meant to kill, naturally, we can't leave behind a potential threat, right?"
Yao Lao laughed awkwardly. "You've certainly learned a lot by staying by my side."
Putting away the cauldron, Xiao Yan held the jade bottle and excitedly walked back into the room. It was finally time to begin condensing the Netherworld Poison Flame!
At this moment, Little Medical Fairy had also fully digested the medicinal power of the poison. Looking at the seven-colored Dou Qi in her palm, she smiled faintly.
The Calamity Poison Body wasn't as terrifying as the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture made it out to be. In just this short time, she had nearly reached the three-star Dou Practitioner level.
This cultivation speed was truly terrifying. Even the top ten powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire probably couldn't compare!
"How's your cultivation going?" Xiao Yan asked.
Little Medical Fairy retracted her Dou Qi and smiled. "You know my physique, and you're the one who taught me the technique. Don't you already know?"
Xiao Yan's talent was extraordinary, and his fiancée was a disciple of the Yunlan Sect's leader. Both of them were exceptional individuals.
Compared to them, Little Medical Fairy had always felt ordinary, with nothing particularly remarkable about her.
But now, it seemed the Calamity Poison Body wasn't entirely a curse. In just a few years, she could become a powerhouse capable of shaking an entire region.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Xiao Yan carefully sensed her condition. "You're almost at the three-star Dou Practitioner level. That's truly impressive. If you keep cultivating like this, I might have to rely on you to protect me in the future."
"I won't protect you," Little Medical Fairy stretched lazily. "When that time comes, I'll lock you up in a dark room."
"Huh?" Xiao Yan's eyes widened. "They say a woman's heart is the most poisonous, but you're still just a girl. How can you be so ruthless already?"
Little Medical Fairy spat twice in mock disgust. "I'm actually helping you."
"Helping me?" Xiao Yan was confused.
Little Medical Fairy twirled a strand of her hair. "I heard from Brother Xiao Ding that you have a fiancée you've never met. What if she turns out to be incredibly ugly? Wouldn't your life be ruined?"
"When the time comes, I'll capture you. The Yunlan Sect, fearing my strength, won't dare to demand you back, and the Xiao family won't be seen as breaking their promise. Don't you think that's a big favor to you?"
Xiao Yan let out an "oh" and looked at Little Medical Fairy's fair face. "You're so kind. How should I thank you?"
"How about this? Since I won't be able to beat you by then, I might as well take advantage of my current slight edge and marry you now. After all, a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of affection. At least I won't end up locked in a dark room in the future."
Little Medical Fairy's cheeks flushed, and she kicked Xiao Yan with her fair foot. "You're so shameless. Even if you're willing, I'm not!"
Xiao Yan laughed. Compared to when she was constantly shrouded in the shadow of the Calamity Poison Body, Little Medical Fairy had become much more cheerful now.
"Stop messing around," Little Medical Fairy rubbed her stomach. "After cultivating the Three Paths Poison Scripture, I don't feel anything unusual, except that I'm starving. Give me a couple more poison pills."
"I've already prepared them," Xiao Yan showed her the jade bottle in his hand. "This is Tianyi Poison Water. Just one drop can kill a Dou Spirit expert. Take a small sip and try it."
"It can kill a Dou Spirit expert?!" Little Medical Fairy took the bottle, hesitating for a moment. "Even though I have the Calamity Poison Body, this poison is so potent. What if I overdose?"
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment. "I've been thinking. To make sure I don't fall too far behind you in strength, I've decided to cultivate with you. Half of the energy you refine from the poison will be transferred to me, so there's no way you'll overdose."
"You know so much about the Calamity Poison Body. Are you also a Calamity Poison Body, or do you have a similar physique?" Little Medical Fairy asked with some excitement.
"I'm not that lucky," Xiao Yan shook his head. "I've just mastered a special cultivation technique."
"How do you absorb it?" Little Medical Fairy was curious. Poison was something most people avoided at all costs. Only the Calamity Poison Body would find it appealing. She hadn't expected Xiao Yan to have a technique for absorbing poison.
Xiao Yan looked at Little Medical Fairy's glistening lips. "Of course, it's after you've transformed it and then passed it to me."
"Pervert!" Little Medical Fairy scolded. What kind of strange cultivation method was this?
After a moment of silence, Little Medical Fairy seemed to brace herself as if heading to her execution. "If you're not afraid of being poisoned to death, then come on."
In this world, the only person who wasn't afraid of the Calamity Poison Body was probably the one right in front of her. If Xiao Yan died, she wouldn't have much reason to live either.
"Just kidding. All we need to do is press our palms together," Xiao Yan said, flicking Little Medical Fairy's nose.
Little Medical Fairy's face turned red. She uncorked the bottle and took a small sip of the Tianyi Poison Water. "Maybe I should just poison you to death, you scoundrel."
The poison water was colorless and tasteless, almost like plain water. But after just a small sip, Little Medical Fairy felt as if she were drunk.
Within a couple of breaths, her delicate face was flushed, her body felt feverish, and her fair skin took on an alluring rosy hue.
Threads of seven-colored poison gas uncontrollably seeped out from her pores, and her head began to feel heavy, almost to the point of fainting.
"This poison is so potent!" Little Medical Fairy quickly sat down cross-legged.
Xiao Yan sat down opposite her, pressing his palms against hers. He guided the potent poison released from Little Medical Fairy's body into his own meridians.
As their techniques activated, the Three Paths Poison Scripture amplified the effects of Little Medical Fairy's Calamity Poison Body. The Tianyi Poison Water's toxicity was rapidly transformed into the unique Dou Qi of the Calamity Poison Body.
However, Little Medical Fairy couldn't fully absorb all of it at once. A significant amount of this Dou Qi accumulated outside her body, seeping through her pores.
This time, the effect was much more intense than before. The seven-colored light filled the entire room, creating a bizarre and eerie glow in the middle of the night.
"Can this kid really handle it?" Yao Lao watched Xiao Yan, who was deep in cultivation, with some concern.
The Tianyi Poison Water's toxicity, after being transformed by Little Medical Fairy's Calamity Poison Body, released energy that was even more potent. For Xiao Yan to absorb this energy was no less dangerous than fusing with a wild Heavenly Flame!
