294: Misunderstanding resolved, Ice Venerable dies

“Since you saw me, why didn’t you come out and acknowledge me? Do you think I’m an ungrateful person?”

Lin Xiu was a bit exasperated. Yi Nan was clearly affected by the Woeful Poison Body, and he was still so young; how could he withstand the poisonous Qi?

“No, I, I heard you became the son-in-law of the Ye Family, one of the five great families of the Pill Tower. I felt it wasn’t easy for you to reach this point, and what if my appearance ruined your relationship with the Ye Family?”

Little Fairy Doctor’s eyes were red as she spoke softly.

Hearing this, Lin Xiu’s nose tingled slightly, and he couldn’t help but look up and take a deep breath.

Watching her child suffer while enduring torment in her heart, she was still thinking of him.

Little Fairy Doctor, how can you be so kind?

Lin Xiu was deeply moved, and his resolve to cherish Little Fairy Doctor grew even stronger.

“Miss Little Fairy Doctor, you might have misunderstood.”

Beside them, Ye Chong couldn’t help but cough twice. He knew he had to step forward, as a small misunderstanding had almost prevented Lin Xiu and his son from reuniting. If blame were to fall upon them later...

The Ye Family, one of the five great families of the Pill Tower, wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Little Fairy Doctor looked at him blankly.

“My name is Ye Chong, and I am the Grand Elder of the Ye Family you mentioned.”

Ye Chong forced a smile, “The marriage rumored by the outside world isn’t actually what you think.

It’s all a misunderstanding. Our Ye Family needed to ask Mr. Lin for help to secure the Elder position.

And one of the conditions was that only a member of the Ye Family could participate. Mr. Lin is righteous and doesn’t care about reputation.

So, he and my Xin Lan created a nominal relationship. In fact, our Ye Family took advantage of Mr. Lin.”

“Ah? Is that how it is?”

Little Fairy Doctor’s lips parted slightly, and she blinked blankly.

“I can testify.”

Tang Huo’er said with a smile.

“Don’t overthink things anymore.”

Lin Xiu patted Little Fairy Doctor’s head, “If it weren’t for Xiao Yan this time, I wouldn’t have known about you two. If you had been captured by the Ice River Valley, did you want me to live in pain and guilt my entire life?”

“There won’t be a next time.”

Little Fairy Doctor looked apologetic and turned to Xiao Yan, “Thank you, Xiao Yan. After all these years, you’re still as righteous as you were back in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.”

Xiao Yan rubbed his nose, just smiling without speaking.

I am still me, but you have become someone else’s wife and a child’s mother... Why can’t I be like my senior?

Whether it’s Cultivating or refining medicine, he can achieve things far beyond ordinary people.

Perhaps, I’m not working hard enough!

“Lin Xiu, you must find a way to resolve Yi Nan’s Woeful Poison Body.”

Zi Yan gently held the sleeping Yi Nan, seeing his palm-sized face with tightly furrowed brows, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache.

At an age where he couldn’t even speak a complete sentence, how could he have worries?

The furrowed brows must be due to physical pain.

“The Tiandu Fire Seal isn’t suitable for Yi Nan. He’s too young right now, his Meridians aren’t fully developed, and he can’t withstand the strange flames at all.”

At this point, Lin Xiu also got a headache.

“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have to suffer so much.”

Little Fairy Doctor’s tone was full of self-reproach.

“Don’t worry, the Woeful Poison Body isn’t without other solutions besides the Tiandu Fire Seal.”

Lin Xiu held Little Fairy Doctor’s shoulders and pulled her into his embrace.

His gaze shifted, “Xiao Yan, does your teacher have a way to resolve the Woeful Poison Body?”

“Yes, I asked my teacher before.”

Xiao Yan nodded, his gaze sweeping over Little Fairy Doctor in Lin Xiu’s arms. The reason he cared about this in the first place was because of Little Fairy Doctor’s Woeful Poison Body.

He pondered for a moment, organizing his words, “Teacher named this method the Poison Pill Method.

It requires a Demonic Beast core of at least a Rank 7 Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast, combined with an extremely Yang and fierce place, to suppress the poisonous Qi and make it fuse with the Demonic Beast core, forming a poison pill. From then on, the Woeful Poison Qi becomes controllable.”

Speaking of this, his gaze fell on the male infant in Zi Yan’s arms, and he hesitated, “Yi Nan is too young. I’m not sure if this method will work for him. It’s best to ask teacher to take a look before making a final decision.”

Teacher’s experience is richer than his own, so he should be able to come up with a better solution.

“If that’s the case, we need to get a Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast’s Demonic Beast core first.”

Lin Xiu looked in the direction of the Ice River Valley, wondering if their treasury had one.

“I know where there’s a Rank 7 Heavenly Scorpion Poison Dragon Beast.”

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly said.

Seeing Lin Xiu look at her, she explained, “Earlier, when I was surrounded by the Ice River Valley in Holy Pill City, after I broke through the encirclement, I went to a place full of poisonous creatures. That place is called Fallen God Stream, and I encountered one there.”

“Good, Fallen God Stream, right? We’ll go there later.”

Lin Xiu nodded.

The battle in the distance did not last too long.

After Incarnating into a Dragon Bear, Xiong Zhan’s burly and massive body could easily unleash destructive power far exceeding a two-star Dou Venerable.

And Tian Shuangzi was merely a one-star Dou Venerable, and he had already been injured by Lin Xiu’s punch earlier.

He didn’t last long before being slain by Xiong Zhan.

As for Ice Venerable, his Realm of strength was clearly higher than Yao Tianhuo.

However.

His ice-attribute Dou Qi, and the poisonous Qi from his Acquired Woeful Poison Body, were completely countered when they met Yao Tianhuo, who controlled five different strange flames.

After being enveloped by the great formation of the Five Round Li Fire Method, he used all his means, but he was only continuously evaporated by the terrifying high temperature.

Soon after Xiong Zhan finished, Yao Tianhuo also dealt with his opponent.

“Awesome! So awesome! When I first created the Five Round Li Fire Method, I said that with just four types of strange flames as Fire Spirits, it could unleash power comparable to Heaven Rank Dou Techniques, and those people didn’t believe me.”

Yao Tianhuo’s face was radiant, as if a long-standing knot in his heart had been completely untied at this moment.

Lin Xiu smiled faintly, “There will be opportunities. If you can find them later, you can demonstrate it to them in person again.”

The fire Dragon surged, piercing into Lin Xiu’s body from his chest.

“Is this really your child? Let me see him quickly. Speaking of which, I also contributed to this child’s birth.”

Yao Tianhuo smiled, then looked towards little Yi Nan.

“Hmm?”

Little Fairy Doctor didn’t quite understand Yao Tianhuo’s meaning and looked at Lin Xiu with a hint of suspicion.

“Back then, this old fellow knew about the hidden danger of the Fallen Heart Flame, but deliberately didn’t say anything. If I had known earlier and taken precautions, the incident where we both lost control wouldn’t have happened.”

Lin Xiu put on an act, as if he too was a victim back then.

“I, I, I thought you did it on purpose.”

Little Fairy Doctor suddenly understood, clenching her fist and lightly punching his chest.

“I’ve been wronged! I, Lin Xiu, am a decent person.”

Lin Xiu quickly clarified. Back then, Xiao Yu tried to seduce him, but he remained unmoved, so how could he do such a thing?

“Are we returning to Holy Pill City now?”

Yao Tianhuo, unable to contend with Zi Yan, returned little Yi Nan to her and then asked.

“First, we’ll go to Fallen God Stream to retrieve a Demonic Beast core.”

Lin Xiu replied.

Before leaving, Lin Xiu swept through the Ice River Valley, not letting go of any Cultivation Techniques or medicinal ingredients.

In addition, under the thick ice, Lin Xiu saw frozen corpses.

Some were missing organs, leaving only dismembered limbs.

“Too hateful! This is even worse than the Mo Family.”

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan couldn’t help but grit his teeth, feeling somewhat indignant.

“What Mo Family?”

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment.

“A Family in the Gama Empire, considered under the Yunlan Sect. I once had a friend who possessed the Bi-eyed Three-flowered Pupils and was captured by the Mo Family to have her eyes dug out, but I stopped them later.”

Xiao Yan felt that he had too little experience back then. The Mo Family mostly used the Fusion of Demonic Beasts with the body to gain power.

But the Ice River Valley was different. Relying on their powerful strength, they directly deprived others of their lives and replaced them.

This time, provoking his senior was like kicking an iron plate.
