95: Chapter 95 Shocking Little Fairy Doctor for a Hundred Years
"Are you really Xiao Yan... Lord Xiao Yan?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in astonishment upon hearing the purple-haired girl's words.
Even though she lived in this secluded basin, she frequently went out to purchase daily necessities. Therefore, she had heard rumors regarding the powerhouse known as Half-Saint Shang Yan, even if her understanding wasn't detailed.
In Xiao Yi Xian's mind, although Xiao Yan's appearance had changed, he was still a far cry from the legendary Half-Saint Shang Yan!
Even though Xiao Yan was floating in the air, Xiao Yi Xian only assumed it was a special Dou Technique; she didn't associate it with him being a Dou Zong or a Half-Saint powerhouse...
The youth from two years ago is now a Half-Saint?
What kind of joke is this?
Xiao Yi Xian stared blankly at Xiao Yan, speechless. This completely overturned her understanding of the world!
"Hehe, Xiao Yi Xian, you really haven't changed. Back then you dared to tie me up, and now you dare to insult me. Are you looking for another beating?" Xiao Yan tilted his head and asked as he looked at Xiao Yi Xian.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian recalled the slap she had received back then and couldn't help but feel awkward.
One couldn't blame her; after all, given her experience, a Dou Wang was likely the limit of her knowledge, let alone a Dou Zong or even a legendary Half-Saint!
These were existences Xiao Yi Xian didn't even dare to imagine. Consequently, when Xiao Yan's familiar face was linked to a Half-Saint, her mind became a mess, and she stood frozen on the spot.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan slowly descended, eventually touching his feet to the ground and landing gently in front of Xiao Yi Xian.
At this time, Xun'er, Medusa, and Qing Lin also came to Xiao Yan's side. They quietly watched the woman in the white dress, seemingly trying to see what was so special about her that warranted Xiao Yan making a personal trip.
"Back then, I saw through your Calamity Poison Body and gifted you a poison manual. I didn't expect that when we met again, I'd be treated like a fool..." Xiao Yan shook his head and spoke with some emotion, appearing quite disappointed by Xiao Yi Xian's performance.
Indeed, from Xiao Yan's perspective, Xiao Yi Xian had gone a bit too far. She had received a poison manual and a Cultivation Technique for free back then; even if she wasn't grateful, she was actually mocking Xiao Yan in her dreams, to the point of speaking recklessly upon seeing him in person.
From Xiao Yi Xian's perspective, however, it was a different feeling entirely, setting aside her recent increase in strength.
To any Dou Practitioner, those Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques and the poison manual were incredibly attractive. Yet someone had been foolish enough to simply give her these treasures—things that could cause the factions of Qingshan Town to slaughter each other—after they had already obtained them.
In Xiao Yi Xian's view, there was no other possibility except that this person had a problem with their brain.
Of course, Xiao Yi Xian, standing in the first-person perspective, naturally didn't understand the thoughts of one with a god-like perspective.
Xiao Yan, who was familiar with the plot, naturally had no interest in nurturing feelings with Xiao Yi Xian. Therefore, after giving her the poison manual, he had let her develop freely.
However, Xiao Yi Xian, having deviated from the plot's trajectory and not having experienced the various events of the Izumo Empire, truly did not have a Heart-Nature as good as in the original work.
It was just as well to have her work under Medusa first. Once the Northwest Continent was stable, he would establish a Supervision Office and have Xiao Yi Xian start from the bottom.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan gave a casual flick of his hand. A pale green flame pattern mark struck Xiao Yi Xian's forehead, imprinting itself upon her.
Although Xiao Yi Xian's current strength far exceeded what it was before, even so, she couldn't react at all.
In the blink of an eye, she realized her head had been struck. She could feel a fatal threat within this mark; it seemed that as long as the person before her wished it, her head would explode at any moment.
"You insulted me with your words; did you ever consider the consequences?" Xiao Yan asked as he looked at the panicked Xiao Yi Xian.
"I... I'm sorry, Lord Xiao Yan, I didn't mean it..." Xiao Yi Xian touched the burning mark on her forehead, her face turning pale. She slumped to the ground, feeling so miserable she almost wanted to cry.
Her experiences in Qingshan Town and the influence of recently consuming poison to increase her strength had made her a bit arrogant when facing the youth who had taken advantage of her two years ago. Naturally, her tone hadn't been good.
One must know, the current Xiao Yi Xian was a Dou Ling powerhouse!
But Xiao Yan was a Dou Zong.
Thus, she realized the severity of the problem. Her previous words had undoubtedly been testing Xiao Yan's patience.
However, Xiao Yi Xian had guessed half right. Although Xiao Yan wouldn't do anything to her, the image he needed to maintain still had to be preserved.
"Whether you meant it or not, the fact is settled. Since that is the case, prepare to accept your punishment. The mark on your forehead is from my Heavenly Flame. At the end of every month, a Heart Flame will erupt and burn you. If you can endure it, it will benefit your cultivation. If you can't, hehe, then you shall turn to ash." Xiao Yan smiled faintly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian only felt that Xiao Yan's smile was exceptionally terrifying. She became even more terrified, and her ethereal aura turned into agitation.
Medusa, listening from the side, felt Xiao Yan's mercy instead. If it were her who had been insulted, even if the person was some kind of Genius, they would definitely not survive!
"There is no need for fear. For you, this is also an opportunity. Back then, I gave you the poison manual because I saw through your Calamity Poison Body. The deaths of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and the others were because of the eruption of your Calamity Poison Body, right?"
Xiao Yi Xian's slumped body straightened slightly into a kneeling position. She spoke cautiously, "My Lord is correct. After you left two years ago, things were fine at first. But as Mu Li's body recovered, he began to show extreme hatred toward me..."
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's explanation, Xiao Yan nodded slightly. This didn't differ much from what the mercenaries in Qingshan Town had said.
"My Lord, you also know that as a Calamity Poison Body, I'm afraid I will bring you misfortune. The reason I have stayed here is also because I am afraid the poison body will erupt again..." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes grew dim, clearly feeling distressed about her Physique.
"Since I could see through your Physique back then, I naturally have a method to control it." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, seemingly approving of Xiao Yi Xian's choice to stay here.
As long as a person's character was good enough, Xiao Yan would tolerate some trivial matters to the greatest extent. After all, who doesn't make mistakes?
If one couldn't even tolerate the faults of others, then that person's mind was too narrow. While being narrow-minded didn't necessarily mean much on this Fighting Qi Continent where strength reigned supreme, Xiao Yan was not such a narrow-minded person.
"You have a method to control the Calamity Poison Body?" Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned and asked in a tone of wild joy.
The reason the Calamity Poison Body was called 'Calamity' was not only because it brought disaster to others, but even the person with the Physique themselves would encounter unlucky and calamitous fates.
There had never been anyone on the continent who could control the Calamity Poison Body. Thus, disasters caused by the Calamity Poison Body had occurred several times on the Fighting Qi Continent, simply because the method to control it was too demanding!
"I have a Poison Pill Method that can help you condense all the accumulated toxins in your body to achieve the effect of controlling the Calamity Poison Body."
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's joyful expression, Xiao Yan spoke again, "However, the requirements for this method are extremely harsh. Otherwise, there wouldn't be no one on the continent capable of controlling the Calamity Poison Body until now."
"My Lord, may I ask what price I must pay to obtain this Poison Pill Method?" The wild joy in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a moment of reflection. Since Lord Xiao Yan was willing to give her the Seven-Colored Poison Manual before, it must have been a form of cultivation for her. Since he was willing to Cultivate her, he must have some demand of her.
"To refine the Poison Pill, three things are needed. First is three different Heavenly Flames; second is the Monster Core of a Rank 7 Sky Poison Scorpion-Dragon Beast; third is bodhi transformation saliva. Aside from the Heavenly Flames, you probably haven't even heard of the other two. Hehe, as for the price to pay, it's clearly something you cannot afford right now."
Xiao Yan had long ago obtained this Poison Pill Method from Yao Lao. Among the Materials needed now, he only possessed one: the three Heavenly Flames.
"Three Heavenly Flames, a Rank 7 Demonic Beast..." Xiao Yi Xian's eyes were somewhat dazed. Any one of these items was beyond her imagination.
"However, though you cannot afford it now, with your potential, it might be possible to repay the debt in the future... but it is only a possibility. Therefore, if you want to obtain the Poison Pill Method from me, start by working under me. If your performance is good enough, I will acknowledge your value, refine the Poison Pill for you, and help you control the Calamity Poison Body!"
These words of Xiao Yan's once again ignited hope in Xiao Yi Xian.
"Alright, stand up. Since I have promised to help you, I will not make things difficult for you anymore." Xiao Yan also showed a smile upon seeing the hope burning in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.
