Have you thought it through?

Shen Wen's words struck Venerable Yao's inherent understanding like a heavy hammer.

He had studied alchemy his entire life and had never heard of anyone being able to help someone with completely incompatible attributes refine an abnormal flame.

Facing Venerable Yao's shocked loss of composure, and Xiao Yan and Yun Yun's disbelieving expressions,

Shen Wen merely smiled faintly and said no more.

He had prepared two plans.

First, he would try to let Xiao Yi Xian cultivate the Crimson Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi. If it succeeded, that would naturally be for the best.

If not, he would use the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol to forcefully subdue the Netherworld Poison Flame, and with Cao Ying assisting, the success rate would not be low.

If that still didn't work, he would let Cai Lin master the Netherworld Poison Flame and help Xiao Yi Xian solve it.

He did not wish to delve deeper into this topic.

Instead, he turned to Venerable Yao, his tone carrying just the right amount of curiosity, and asked in return, "Venerable Yao, this Junior is quite interested in the 'Poison Pill Method' you just mentioned. May I inquire about its crucial points?"

At these words, Venerable Yao was slightly startled, looking at Shen Wen's calm and inquisitive gaze.

He knew that the other party did not want to discuss the Netherworld Poison Flame anymore, so he had no choice but to suppress the turbulent waves in his heart.

Venerable Yao pondered for a moment, thinking that Old Monster Lin had offered him some guidance back then, and now repaying a bit through his Disciple.

This could be considered fulfilling that debt of gratitude. With a thought, a slightly ancient scroll flew out from Xiao Yan's storage ring and floated on his illusory palm.

"The theory of this Poison Pill Method is not actually profound," Venerable Yao said, pushing the scroll towards Shen Wen, his tone calm.

"With your Realm as a Seventh-Rank Alchemist and your Soul Power, understanding and mastering this method should not be difficult.

The difficulty lies in the Materials recorded on it, which are simply too hard to find."

Shen Wen reached out and took the scroll. Although he knew of the Poison Pill Method's existence, he was not clear about its specific details.

He unrolled the scroll, his gaze quickly sweeping over it.

Cao Ying also curiously leaned in to observe, but after only a moment, a look of surprise appeared on her charming face.

"Three different abnormal flames?!" Cao Ying couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, her gaze lingering on the demanding conditions on the scroll.

"Although the Demonic Core of a seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast is rare, with concerted effort, its traces might still be found.

But this bodhi transformation saliva... rumor has it that this item has long been extinct on the continent for many years. The last time it appeared, who knows what year or month that was."

At this point, she suddenly seemed to remember something, looking at Shen Wen with a hint of suspicion.

She clearly remembered that back at City Lord Luo Cheng's place, Shen Wen seemed to have obtained a sixth-tier Demonic Core of a Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

Could it be that he started preparing for this so early?

With this thought, could it be that her husband's mysterious ancestral Legacy

had already calculated that he would encounter these women with special Physiques and had paved the way for him in advance?

Was it all to allow him to smoothly bring these exceptionally talented women under his command and continue that precious Bloodline?

Shen Wen quickly skimmed the contents of the scroll, his slender fingers lightly tapping on the words "three abnormal flames," his eyebrows slightly raised: "Three abnormal flames... indeed troublesome.

However, in my opinion, the most ethereal and difficult thing here is this bodhi transformation saliva."

Thoughts raced in his mind, already contemplating another possibility.

He didn't necessarily have to completely copy this extremely demanding Poison Pill Method; perhaps he could try to weaken and improve it.

For example, lowering the requirement for three abnormal flames to two, or even one; replacing the seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Demonic Core with a sixth-tier one.

As long as it could ensure that the backlash of the Calamity Poison Body could be suppressed and controlled before Xiao Yi Xian reached the Dou Zong Realm.

Moreover, once Xiao Yi Xian could successfully control the Netherworld Poison Flame,

then with both alchemy and fire methods working together, the effect might not be worse than the original Poison Pill Method.

Of course, the feasibility of this still required in-depth research and experimentation. Perhaps in the future, he could go to "discuss" with the Ice River Valley Master.

He remembered that guy had a very deep understanding of the Calamity Poison Body.

He closed the scroll and nodded to Venerable Yao: "Thank you, Venerable Yao, this method has given me much inspiration."

Yao Chen waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, young friend. I hope it helps you."

However, he still found it hard to imagine how Shen Wen would achieve that astonishing feat of "helping others refine abnormal flames."

While everyone was conversing on the flying boat, familiar scenery below came into view; Qingshan Town had arrived.

The flying boat slowly descended, and eventually, only Shen Wen and Xiao Yan disembarked, while Cao Ying, Cai Lin, and others remained on the flying boat.

Xiao Yan voluntarily offered to accompany him, stating that he and Xiao Yi Xian were old acquaintances and friends, and he wanted to meet her.

Shen Wen glanced at him but did not refuse.

The two once again entered the Wan Yao Pharmacy. Mr. Yao was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Shen Wen, he immediately bowed and greeted him, his face filled with a respectful smile: "Sir, you're back."

Shen Wen nodded slightly in response, then walked directly with Xiao Yan to the mansion in the backyard.

At the entrance of the estate, Hai Bodong sat cross-legged, eyes closed, adjusting his breathing. Sensing Shen Wen's aura, he immediately opened his eyes, stood up, and respectfully said, "Sir."

Shen Wen waved his hand at him, "It's fine here, you can return to the flying boat first."

"Yes." Hai Bodong responded, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Yan beside Shen Wen with a hint of doubt. He asked no more questions and, with a movement, flew towards the flying boat.

Shen Wen pushed open the familiar door.

Inside the room.

Xiao Yi Xian was intently mixing medicinal powders on the table. The creak of the door hinge startled her, causing the medicine spoon in her hand to tilt, and some powder spilled onto the tabletop.

She looked up in alarm, and when she saw that it was Shen Wen, a trace of panic instantly flashed across her face.

She subconsciously stood up, her voice a little nervous: "You... you're back?"

She subconsciously swallowed, her hands involuntarily clenching.

During the time Shen Wen was away, her mind was in turmoil, and she hadn't been able to make a decision at all.

However,

when she calmed down,

and repeatedly considered the weight represented by the words "Seventh-Rank Alchemist," the scales in her heart had already begun to tip.

Since childhood, she had yearned for the mysterious Alchemists, dreaming that she too could control flames and refine miraculous Medicinal Pills.

Unfortunately, her innate incompatible attributes had caused her to abandon that thought early on.

Now, coupled with this deadly Calamity Poison Body... she heard that the most powerful Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire was only a sixth-rank.

A seventh-rank was an existence she dared not even imagine in the past.

All sorts of thoughts churned in her mind, making her even more flustered when facing Shen Wen. She mustered her courage and pleaded, "Can you... give me a little more time to consider?"

Just then, her peripheral vision caught sight of another figure entering right after Shen Wen.

When she clearly saw that person's face, a hint of pleasant surprise immediately flashed in her eyes, "Xiao Yan? Are you alright?"
