Yao Lao's thoughts were somewhat reasonable, but not entirely accurate.
The Xuanhuang Flame and the Yin-Yang Dual Flame that Xiao Yan had condensed had already matured. Once the toxic energy surged into Xiao Yan's body, it would likely be burned and purified.
While Xiao Yan was safe, absorbing enough poison to condense the Netherworld Poison Flame under such circumstances was no less difficult than fusing with a wild Heavenly Flame.
Strands of toxic energy were pulled into Xiao Yan's meridians, and the intense toxicity immediately began to erode his meridians.
With a sizzling sound, the poison had already penetrated his meridians, bones, and seeped into his flesh and skin.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan's palms were covered with seven-colored threads, looking extremely eerie.
"Such potent poison!" Feeling the power of the toxic energy transformed by Little Medical Fairy, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.
If it weren't for his exceptionally resilient physique and the pure Heavenly Flame he possessed, which he had used to resist in advance, he probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few breaths.
The path of poison allows the weak to overcome the strong.
Although Little Medical Fairy's current strength was unremarkable, the poison she controlled was something that even ordinary Great Dou Practitioners or Dou Spirit experts couldn't withstand.
With a thought, the Heavenly Flame , which was mostly black and white, surged within Xiao Yan's meridians to meet the seven-colored poison.
Although the poison was powerful, when it encountered the scorching flames of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame and the Xuanhuang Flame, it immediately began to crumble.
However, Xiao Yan was absorbing this toxic energy to condense the Netherworld Poison Flame. Naturally, he wouldn't do something as foolish as absorbing the poison and then detoxifying it.
After experiencing the potency of the toxic energy, Xiao Yan precisely controlled the temperature of the Heavenly Flame, significantly reducing the power of the toxic energy.
Only a wisp of energy remained, slowly moving along the path of the Flame Star Art.
Even this small amount was so toxic that Xiao Yan's meridians twitched uncontrollably. If it were an ordinary Great Dou Practitioner, their meridians would have already been corroded, rendering them crippled.
However, Xiao Yan had cultivated the Flame Body Refinement Art, a body-refining technique enhanced by Yao Lao's blood and formulas. His physical resilience far surpassed that of others at his level.
This level of pain was nothing to him.
Moreover, Xiao Yan's Dou Qi technique, the Flame Star Art, not only enhanced his strength but also allowed him to absorb stellar energy to condense the Three Thousand Flaming Flame.
Thus, his Dou Qi had a healing effect.
The black-and-white Dou Qi, tinged with a faint purple haze, circulated through Xiao Yan's body according to the Flame Star Art.
Under the soothing purple light, Xiao Yan's damaged and wrinkled meridians visibly restored themselves.
The vast Dou Qi, carrying a strand of seven-colored energy, returned to his Dou Qi vortex.
However, under the scorching heat of Xiao Yan's Dou Qi vortex, this strand of toxic energy began to dissipate slowly.
After completing a cycle of the technique and adapting to the power of the toxic energy, Xiao Yan began to increase the rate at which he absorbed the toxic energy from Little Medical Fairy's body while relaxing his suppression of the Heavenly Flame Dou Qi within him.
With this increase and decrease, Xiao Yan absorbed a considerable amount of potent toxins.
Wherever the seven-colored energy passed, it penetrated his meridians, staining his bones with its toxicity.
However, soon after, the stellar energy within Xiao Yan's Dou Qi covered the affected areas, repairing the damage to his body.
As his body was constantly damaged and then repaired by the stellar energy, Xiao Yan's body suddenly became like a black hole, rapidly absorbing the energy emitted by the stars.
In just a few breaths, visible silver beams of light began to emerge around Xiao Yan, flowing into his body.
"What's going on?!" Yao Lao was stunned. Wasn't Xiao Yan supposed to be condensing the Netherworld Poison Flame? Why was he absorbing stellar energy so frantically?
After a while, Xiao Yan's body was enveloped in a dense silver light, as if he were wearing a heavy suit of armor.
Together with Little Medical Fairy, who was surrounded by a seven-colored halo, they exuded an extraordinary aura.
By now, Xiao Yan had completely stopped restricting the toxic energy entering his body, absorbing the energy released from Little Medical Fairy's body like a whale gulping water.
To successfully condense the Netherworld Poison Flame, he needed to accumulate a sufficient amount of potent toxins.
However, Xiao Yan's Dou Crystal was unique, formed from the Xuanhuang Flame, the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, and the nascent Three Thousand Flaming Flame—two and a half Heavenly Flame.
If only a small amount of poison entered the Dou Qi vortex, it would be purified by the scorching temperature within half a day without a continuous source.
Xiao Yan had to absorb enough poison to counteract the purification effect of the Dou Qi vortex.
Moreover, the Netherworld Poison Flame was highly toxic, while the Three Thousand Flaming Flame had excellent healing properties. The two complemented each other, actually aiding in the condensation of the Heavenly Flame.
Watching Little Medical Fairy break through to the three-star Dou Practitioner level and approach the four-star level, Yao Lao was astonished. "The Calamity Poison Body is already terrifying, and now Little Medical Fairy has cultivated the technique passed down by Xiao Yan. She's become even more formidable!"
In half a year, Xiao Yan had advanced from a Dou Practitioner to a Great Dou Practitioner, a remarkable cultivation speed.
But Little Medical Fairy's cultivation speed was even more astonishing.
In less than a day, she was about to break through to the four-star Dou Practitioner level, with enough energy left to continue advancing. If she maintained this pace, her future cultivation speed would undoubtedly surpass Xiao Yan's.
The toxicity of the Tianyi Poison Water was extremely potent. Even a single drop was slightly beyond Little Medical Fairy's absorption limit.
If Xiao Yan hadn't shared the burden, Little Medical Fairy would have likely passed out by now, letting her body slowly absorb the poison.
With Xiao Yan sharing the load, Little Medical Fairy transformed the energy of the Tianyi Poison Water, continuously leveraging the advantages of her Calamity Poison Body. Her strength increased at a rate far beyond that of ordinary people.
This method of cultivation benefited both Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy.
However, Xiao Yan reaped greater benefits.
After running the technique for over two hours, Xiao Yan fully understood the relationship between the toxic energy and the stellar energy within his body.
Compared to the fused Heavenly Flame of the Xuanhuang Flame and the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, the stellar energy was relatively gentler and had a lighter purifying effect on the poison. The two stimulated each other, coexisting like the yang fir) and yin fire of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame.
As the poison accumulated, it occupied a portion of the Dou Qi vortex. Under intense compression, the seven-colored poison took on a dark green hue under the baking of the Heavenly Flame.
With a thought, Xiao Yan immediately guided the stellar energy he had accumulated over the past six months, wrapping it around the poison in the Dou Qi vortex and channeling it into the black-and-white Dou Crystal.
Protected by the stellar energy, the poison passed through the scorching crystal walls of the Dou Crystal with some loss, but it was entirely offset by the stellar energy. The poison was unaffected by the fused fire of the Yin-Yang Dual Flame and the Xuanhuang Flame outside the Dou Crystal.
Once the purple stellar energy and the dark green poison were infused into the Dou Crystal, Xiao Yan's Dou Crystal underwent a dramatic change.
The crystal walls of the Dou Crystal were black and white, with a faint hint of Xuanhuang yellow.
Inside the Dou Crystal, it was purple, with a strong dark green hue.
After the energy infusion was complete, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly, as if he had opened up his Ren and Du meridians.
The stellar energy and the toxic energy now had a more perfect place to converge.
The absorbed poison was no longer a slow loss-filled process but rather like rivers flowing into the sea.
The toxic energy was almost entirely preserved, channeled into the Dou Crystal under the encapsulation of the stellar energy.
Yao Lao had been closely watching the cultivation state of Xiao Yan and Little Medical Fairy. The changes in Xiao Yan naturally didn't escape his notice.
"What happened? Why does it feel like Xiao Yan has undergone an incredible transformation! Even if the Netherworld Poison Flame was successfully condensed, it shouldn't cause such a drastic change!"
The stellar energy Xiao Yan had absorbed over the past few days finally showed its effect.
Stimulated by the poison, the stellar energy became highly condensed, turning from purple to black, gradually forming the seed of the Three Thousand Flaming Flame.
As Xiao Yan's cultivation progressed, wisps of purple-black flames quietly seeped out from his pores.
Then, like tiny vines, they wrapped around his body, refining his skin, muscles, and even bones in a peculiar manner.
"Purple-black flames? That's not the Netherworld Poison Flame." Yao Lao's eyes widened. "This is the Three Thousand Flaming Flame!"
The Three Thousand Flaming Flame was purple-black, turning pure black when highly concentrated. It was also known as the 'Three Thousand Star Flaming Flame.'
This Heavenly Flame, formed in the starry sky, could absorb stellar energy to continuously grow stronger. Due to its location in the starry sky, a place unreachable by ordinary people, it was incredibly mysterious.
This Heavenly Flame possessed a unique ability known as the "Three Thousand Star Body." Some powerful individuals who had fought against those who possessed the Three Thousand Flaming Flame referred to it as the "Immortal Body."
This physique had an extremely strong regenerative ability. As long as the body wasn't completely destroyed, it could recover—it was just a matter of time.
Such a powerful异火, and Xiao Yan had only been working on condensing it for about half a year. Yao Lao could hardly believe that in just six months, the Three Thousand Flaming Flame had been born.
This Three Thousand Flaming Flame was ranked even higher than his Bone Chilling Flame on the Heavenly Flame Ranking!
Yao Lao, thinking in terms of common knowledge, overlooked one thing.
The Heavenly Flame Xiao Yan had condensed was no different from the异火 born naturally in the world. It wasn't the terrifying Heavenly Flame Yao Lao remembered, which had grown over countless years.
To truly unleash the fame of the Heavenly Flame Ranking, it would still need a long time to grow.
The terrifying temperature continued to rise with the flames, making the entire room feel like the height of summer in just a few breaths.
"He's really condensing the Three Thousand Flaming Flame!" Yao Lao inhaled sharply, both shocked and ready to protect Little Medical Fairy at any moment.
Affected by Xiao Yan, beads of sweat appeared on Little Medical Fairy's forehead. The seven-colored halo around her body flickered, and the Three Paths Poison Scripture technique accelerated, speeding up the absorption and refinement of the poison.
As Little Medical Fairy's cultivation speed increased, the seven-colored halo on her body began to visibly retract into her body.
This change inevitably led to competition with Xiao Yan for the remaining poison.
"Is she okay?" Seeing Little Medical Fairy's rosy complexion and no signs of pain, Yao Lao muttered, then shook his head vigorously. "There's only so much toxic energy. The two of them are probably about to start competing for it!"
As he pondered, the poison on Little Medical Fairy's body was almost completely absorbed, restoring her to her usual white-clad appearance. However, in the increasingly scorching environment, her body needed more poison to withstand the high temperature.
Yao Lao couldn't help but feel anxious. Lowering the temperature to protect Little Medical Fairy would be easy for him, but now it was a cultivation issue, and he was at a loss.
"Both of them are cultivating extremely advanced techniques. If I intervene and disrupt them, who knows what damage it might cause. Especially since Xiao Yan is in the process of condensing an异火. Sigh..."
During his cultivation, Xiao Yan could sense that the poison on Little Medical Fairy's body had been depleted. A pulling force emanated from Little Medical Fairy's slender jade hands, tugging at the toxic energy in his meridians.
Xiao Yan knew that his Three Thousand Flaming Flame was beginning to take form. Even in its nascent stage, this异火, ranked ninth on the异火 Ranking, was something Little Medical Fairy couldn't withstand at her current level.
If Little Medical Fairy ran out of energy to cultivate now, her life might be in danger.
With a thought, Xiao Yan's Dou Crystal trembled violently, and a large amount of toxic energy surged into his meridians, transferring it to Little Medical Fairy.
After being transformed by Xiao Yan, the poison's potency had increased yet again. For Little Medical Fairy, who possessed the Calamity Poison Body, this was excellent nourishment for her growth.
As this poison entered Little Medical Fairy's body, her brows relaxed, and she felt an indescribable sense of relief.
After transferring a significant amount of toxic energy, Xiao Yan immediately infused the refined energy of heaven and earth into the poison origin within his Dou Crystal.
The poison origin entered the Dou Crystal filled with high-concentration Heavenly Flame Dou Qi, had gradually taken on the characteristics of flames. Now, it could also be nourished by the energy of heaven and earth, though the speed was far slower than absorbing poison.
The poison Xiao Yan transferred was too pure. Little Medical Fairy couldn't fully refine it in a short time, and a portion of the poison flowed back into Xiao Yan's meridians through his palms.
Receiving the toxic energy from Little Medical Fairy, the poison origin within Xiao Yan's Dou Crystal also began to evolve noticeably, gradually catching up to the condensation speed of the Three Thousand Flaming Flame.
Watching the two of them supporting each other, Yao Lao couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Could it be that Little Medical Fairy and Xiao Yan are destined by fate?!"
On the path of cultivation, it's usually a solitary journey. Even though there are some combined attack techniques and techniques, the seamless cultivation state between Little Medical Fairy and Xiao Yan was truly rare in the world.
If this cultivation state were to be compared to the grade of techniques, it would likely be comparable to a Heaven-grade technique.
Under the tempering of the purple-black flames, Xiao Yan's fair skin gradually took on a bronze hue, giving his body a more robust and powerful appearance.
The legendary 'Immortal Body' had been born!
And with Xiao Yan's achievement of the 'Immortal Body,' the Three Thousand Flaming Flame, ranked ninth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, had also been successfully condensed!
