212. The Method of Poison Pills
Hearing Xiao Yan's question, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty face flushed, and she whispered, "Just like you thought."
Both were powerful individuals, and although they were unconscious at the time, they were still able to roughly reconstruct what had happened based on the scene. Xiao Yan had actually already guessed what had occurred using his soul power; he was only asking Little Fairy Doctor to confirm it.
Having received confirmation from Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Yan was momentarily dazed and did not speak immediately.
As the atmosphere grew awkward, Xiao Yan made up his mind to take a step forward, his gaze fixed intently on Little Fairy Doctor as he sincerely said, "I will take responsibility!"
Xiao Yan's sudden appearance sent a jolt through the powerful Little Fairy Doctor, but she quickly smiled and said, "Who wants you to take responsibility!"
With a gentle flick of her jade-like hand, Little Fairy Doctor directly tore open this space. She didn't just possess the simple spatial manipulation abilities of a Dou Zong; she had stable control over space—the hallmark of a Dou Zun powerhouse!
Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "You've advanced to become a Dou Zun?"
Little Fairy Doctor nodded and replied, "A two-star Dou Zun, even the poison in my mind was directly dissolved. I want to ask you, what exactly did you do?"
Xiao Yan helplessly spread his hands and said, "I thought this was all your doing. I was in a state of unconsciousness before."
Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly: "I lost consciousness a long time ago because of a loss of control during cultivation, and only woke up a month ago."
Both of them saw confusion in each other's eyes. Both had made great progress in their strength, yet neither truly knew what had happened. With Yao Lao not around, Xiao Yan had no one to ask.
"So, what about us now?" Xiao Yan cautiously probed.
After what happened between them, although Xiao Yan was indeed unconscious, running away from such a situation was not something he would do. And Little Fairy Doctor's words just now didn't seem to suggest she wanted Xiao Yan to make any sacrifices.
"The poison in my body is too severe; I won't be able to have children. You can rest assured."
"That's not what I meant," Xiao Yan quickly explained. Xiao Yan felt extremely helpless at Little Fairy Doctor's answer, as if he was someone who was about to pull up his pants and sever all ties.
Seeing Xiao Yan's embarrassed state, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but smile: "Since this wasn't intentional on your part, and you saved me, how about we pretend nothing happened?"
"That's it?" Xiao Yan asked, somewhat incredulous.
Little Fairy Doctor waved her hand and said jokingly, "That's settled then. You'll have to take responsibility. Your little girlfriend might get angry later."
"How do you know Xun'er?" Xiao Yan asked in return, recalling that he had never mentioned Xun'er to Little Fairy Doctor.
"I guessed it, it really is true." Little Fairy Doctor's tone remained relaxed, but when Xiao Yan wasn't paying attention, a hint of reproach flashed in her eyes. However, Little Fairy Doctor hid it very well, and Xiao Yan didn't notice it.
What Xiao Yan didn't know was that Xiao Yixian's importance to him far exceeded his own imagination.
In Little Fairy Doctor's life, only the time spent with Xiao Yan in the Monster Mountain Range made her feel relaxed and happy.
When the two first parted, she did not know how important Xiao Yan was to her. However, after leaving Xiao Yan, Xiao Yi Xian experienced a lot, which made her miss Xiao Yan even more.
In her moments of helplessness, she longed for someone to rely on. So even after becoming a powerful figure in the Izumo Empire, she would still occasionally return to the small wooden house in the Monster Mountain Range.
When she regained consciousness and discovered what had happened, Little Fairy Doctor herself was surprised and even felt relieved.
If there was anyone in Little Fairy Doctor's heart she could entrust her life to, it would only be Xiao Yan. She didn't mind what had happened between them. Besides, she had a pretty good idea that it was Xiao Yan who had saved her.
When her cultivation spiraled out of control and her consciousness was about to dissipate, she felt it was all over. No one knew better than Little Fairy Doctor how terrifying the uncontrollable Calamity Poison was. At that moment, Little Fairy Doctor already knew she was doomed.
For Little Fairy Doctor, regaining consciousness was like being reborn, and the joy of being alive filled most of her heart.
However, because of Xiao Yan's answer, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly felt a little jealous and didn't say anything more.
Xiao Yan asked, "Has the problem with the Calamity Poison Body been resolved?"
At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor's condition was exactly the same as before, and there was no sign of her losing consciousness.
Little Fairy Doctor shook her head and said, "Although it has been temporarily suppressed by that unknown force, there is still a possibility that it will spread."
Xiao Yan pondered for a while, searching through the surviving scrolls salvaged from the lava, and finally picked one out and handed it to Little Fairy Doctor.
"As long as you follow this method of refining poison pills, you will not only be able to eliminate all hidden dangers, but you will also be able to use this Calamity Poison Body without any scruples!"
Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor with a smile and said, "To attack recklessly without any restraint—that's the true nature of the Calamity Poison Body!"
After scanning the entire container, Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly and said, "This method of refining poison pills is indeed unique, but the three most important conditions are really troublesome."
"First of all, there's the magic core of this seventh-tier magical beast, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. That's manageable, since with my current strength, taking down a seventh-tier magical beast shouldn't be difficult."
Xiao Yan nodded in agreement. Now that Little Fairy Doctor had the strength of a Dou Zun, subduing a seventh-order magical beast was indeed not too difficult.
Once you reach the Dou Zun realm, the difference between each star level becomes an insurmountable chasm, making it impossible to easily cross levels in combat.
Even the strongest seventh-tier magical beast can only be equivalent to a peak Dou Zong expert at most.
"Secondly, I need this Bodhi Transformation Saliva. I have never heard of such a rare item in my many years in the Izumo Empire."
Xiao Yan said, "I haven't heard of this thing in the Northwest Region either. However, the Central State is located in the center of the continent. If it's just a rare and precious treasure, although it will take a lot of effort, we will eventually have a chance to obtain it."
Little Fairy Doctor, holding the scroll, said with a flicker in her eyes, "If the first two can be considered to have some methods, then this most important last one is almost impossible to achieve."
"Strange fires are rare treasures of heaven and earth, and this method requires the simultaneous action of three different kinds of strange fires. It would take three alchemists with different kinds of fires to come up with, and even a Dou Zun would find it difficult to afford that price."
