Chapter 98 - Chapter 99: The Poisoned Body

.

  With a slight nod, Xiao Ling took out his keys and inserted them into the metal locks one by one.

  After several attempts, the three stone boxes were opened, and the items within appeared before the four people.

  Each stone box contained a scroll.

  Xiao Ling nodded to the Little Medical Fairy, "According to the terms we agreed on, you go up and choose first."

  Nodding, the Little Medical Fairy extended a white wrist and took the lead in picking up a pale blue scroll.

  She examined the inscription and murmured softly, "Xuan-level high-level fighting technique, Roar of the Mad Lion."

  Clearly a Xuan-level fighting technique, the Little Medical Fairy showed no interest in it and handed it to Xiao Ling. "This is of no use to me. Do you need it?"

  "Thank you very much. I'm quite interested in this fighting technique." Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow and stored the scroll in his storage ring.

  I wonder if this "Rhapsody of the Mad Lion" has any connection to the Xiao family's most powerful technique, "Rage of the Mad Lion." I'll show it to Xiao Zhan when we get to the Imperial Capital.

  However, this Little Medical Fairy isn't even interested in a single high-level Xuan-level fighting technique, which is worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins. It seems she's only interested in pharmacology. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on her, turning her into the world's most gifted poison master.

  After Xiao Ling took the fighting technique, the Little Medical Fairy picked up a black scroll from another stone box.

  "A high-level Xuan-level flying fighting technique, 'Purple Cloud Wings.'" Seeing the name for the first time, Xiao Yixian blinked in confusion. She had heard of attack fighting techniques, defensive fighting techniques, and physical fighting techniques, but this was her first time hearing about a flying fighting technique. She cast a puzzled look at Xiao Ling. "What is this flying fighting technique? Why haven't I heard of it? As a sixth-rank alchemist, you should be quite knowledgeable. Do you know what it is?"

  "As the name suggests, this fighting technique allows one to fly through the sky. I've only heard of it, but this is the first time I've seen it." Xiao Ling glanced at the flying fighting technique scroll and spoke.

  Even within Canaan Academy, Xiao Ling had never seen anyone use a flying fighting technique.

  "Flying? Isn't that a talent that only a Dou Ling master can barely possess?" Hearing this, Xiao Yixian was startled at first, then her face was filled with confusion.

  "This flying fighting skill is made from the wings of avian magical beasts, refined through secret methods. After practicing the flying fighting skill, two small branches will extend from the veins on the back of the practitioner. As long as these two branches extend, even if the practitioner's strength does not reach the Dou Wang level, he can condense wings and fly through the air." Xiao Ling explained.

  After a slight pause, Xiao Ling added: "However, in order to use the flying fighting skill, a large amount of Dou Qi is consumed. Now you haven't even reached the Dou Wang level. If you use the flying fighting skill, the Dou Qi in your body will be drained instantly. Moreover, there is a trace of the residual soul of the flying magical beast on this flying fighting skill. If you want to master this flying fighting skill, you have to withstand the impact of the residual soul. With the little soul power you have now, I'm afraid..."

  After saying this, Xiao Ling shook his head, obviously expressing his pessimism about whether Xiao Yixian could practice this flying fighting skill.

  After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, Xiao Yixian was somewhat unconvinced. However, remembering that Xiao Ling was a sixth-rank alchemist, there was no need for him to lie to her, she reluctantly put the flying fighting skills scroll aside.

  Xiao Yixian then turned her attention to the last colorful scroll and held it in her hands.   

  "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture." The four characters on the scroll were softly recited. The Little Medical Immortal was initially surprised, but then a glow of joy filled her face.

  She waved the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture at Xiao Ling and said with a smile, "I'll take this copy. I'll leave the Flying Fighting Technique scroll to you."

  Xiao Ling nodded slightly and placed the scroll beside him into his storage ring. He muttered to himself, "When Qinglin reaches Fighting Master status, with the Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil's soul power far surpassing that of its peers, it shouldn't be dangerous to disperse the remaining bird spirits within."

  He then glanced at the Little Medical Immortal, who was happily flipping through the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, and sighed, "Fate!"

  A moment later, the Little Medical Immortal's expression suddenly hardened, and the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture fell from her hands.

  "Clunk!"

  It landed on the ground, and the sound echoed through the empty cave, shattering the tranquility.

  For a moment, an oppressive atmosphere emanated from the Little Medical Fairy. Even Zi Yan, who was always carefree, noticed that something was wrong with the Little Medical Fairy's expression.

  At this moment, Xiao Ling suddenly spoke: "The Evil Poison Body, also known as the Natural Poison Body, is a very strange physique. People with this physique only need to keep taking poison to become stronger. The stronger the toxicity, the faster the strength will increase, and there is almost no upper limit. However, the more poison you take, the more concentrated the toxins in the body will be. When the toxins condense to a certain point, they will completely explode. When the poison condenses to a certain point, it will completely explode. When it explodes, all life within a thousand miles will be destroyed."

  "The way to identify the Evil Poison Body is that there is a thin seven-colored hidden line in the lower abdomen. The seven-colored line will grow with the concentration of toxicity contained in the body. When the seven-colored line extends to the heart, it is the strongest moment of the Evil Poison Body. At the same time, it is also the time when the

  Evil Poison Body explodes." "According to my observation, Xiao Yixian, there is a thin seven-colored hidden line in your lower abdomen, so your physique is the legendary Evil Poison Body."

  As Xiao Ling narrated, Xiao Yixian's body gradually became stiff, and the spirit in her eyes disappeared.

  Her eyes gradually grew moist, and a single tear fell onto the stone chamber floor. Little Medical Immortal was now in tears, reaching out her palm to wipe each glistening tear.

  "I just want to be an ordinary doctor. Why did heaven play such a joke on me?" Little Medical Immortal muttered to herself, choking back sobs.

  Suddenly, as if a thought struck her, Little Medical Immortal fixed her gaze on Xiao Ling with hope. "You, you're a sixth-rank alchemist, aren't you? You're so powerful. Can you help me with the side effects of the Evil Poison Body? If you can help me, I'll do anything you ask, even give you my own body."

  Seeing Little Medical Immortal's tearful expression, Xiao Ling felt a little distressed as well, and quickly comforted her, "From what I understand, the side effects of the Evil Poison Body can be resolved. Right now, the Evil Poison Body hasn't awakened yet, so any side effects are a matter for the future. Don't overthink the worst and scare yourself."
