Chapter 307: Ya Fei?
"Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower?!" Su Qian was momentarily taken aback upon hearing Yao Yan's words, a look of surprise appearing on his face. "Given your current cultivation level, the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower should be of no use to you. Why would you come for it?"
Could it be for the Fallen Heart Flame?
But in an instant, Su Qian dismissed that thought, because with Yao Yan's strength, the embryo of the Fallen Heart Flame would be of no use to him. Besides, he already possessed a much stronger Fallen Heart Flame.
"It's mainly because she needs it... I need a place with abundant fire attribute energy to activate her Curse Poison Body," Yao Yan glanced at Xiao Yi Xian by his side and explained.
"Curse Poison Body? Such a physique truly exists!" Su Qian exclaimed in astonishment, looking at Xiao Yi Xian. He had read about such a rare constitution in an Gu text. It was said that individuals with this body type didn't need to cultivate; by simply ingesting poison, they would grow stronger.
Most individuals with this constitution had violent and cold-blooded personalities, leaving a trail of death and destruction wherever they went. Historically, those with the Curse Poison Body were often associated with bloodshed and killing, even causing an entire country to turn into a wasteland. It was said to be a terrifying force.
However, Xiao Yi Xian showed no signs of having such a body. She was completely different from the description in the books.
"Yes, indeed. There are even quite a few of them. However, most people with this physique rarely live to adulthood because once they come into contact with poison, the Curse Poison Body uncontrollably activates. Without guidance, their bodies will slowly deteriorate and destroy everything around them," Yao Yan nodded and roughly described the Curse Poison Body.
"I see," Su Qian nodded, understanding that he didn't know much about these matters. After all, this type of constitution had always been mysterious, and those who hadn't encountered it couldn't possibly know the details.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Yao Yan with gentle eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips. She knew that if it hadn't been for Yao Yan's appearance, she might have fallen into despair like those described in the books, her body gradually collapsing and destroying everything around her.
"I'll temporarily seal the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower. You may use it as you wish," Su Qian continued.
"Thank you," Yao Yan smiled.
"No need for formalities. If you truly wish to thank me, just come back and leave a name at Canaan Academy when you become a Dou Emperor," Su Qian stroked his chin with a smile.
He shook his head, amused by his own words.
"Alright," Yao Yan replied seriously. He had a good impression of Canaan Academy and Elder Su Qian. He found the old man interesting, and he was one of the few 'good people' on the Dou Qi continent.
...
With Su Qian's command, the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower closed its doors under the pretext of needing maintenance. The surrounding areas were sealed with spatial power to prevent any students from sneaking in, which caused quite a stir within the inner courtyard.
After all, the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower had never been closed in the past decade. Its sudden closure was rather unexpected.
At the same time.
Yao Yan had already taken Xiao Yi Xian deep into the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, descending to the lowest level, where the embryo of the Fallen Heart Flame and a magma layer glowing with dark red energy could be seen. The fire attribute energy was incredibly dense, making the temperature extremely high.
Xiao Yi Xian furrowed her brows slightly. The overwhelming concentration of fire attribute energy around her made her feel quite uncomfortable.
"Ying Ying~" Ling'er appeared on Yao Yan's shoulder, tilting her head. Her large, emerald eyes fixed on the Fallen Heart Flame embryo in the distance. Instinctively, she licked her lips, signaling to Yao Yan that she wanted to eat.
"That's not for you to eat," Yao Yan flicked Ling'er on the head.
Ling'er pouted, covering her head with her fluffy ears, giving Yao Yan a pitiful look and softly calling out, as if saying she understood.
Yao Yan looked at Xiao Yi Xian and smiled. "Let's begin."
"How... How should we do it?" Xiao Yi Xian asked nervously. She didn't know much about how to fully activate the Curse Poison Body. The scroll Yao Yan had given her didn't describe this process in detail.
"Sit cross-legged in the air. The rest will be taken care of by me. Just relax, it may hurt a little, but bear with it," Yao Yan raised his hand and lifted the Fallen Heart Flame embryo, isolating it in another space using spatial power. He then guided Xiao Yi Xian to sit.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, took a deep breath to calm her nerves, and stepped forward to sit cross-legged in the air. Her slender body and graceful posture highlighted the curves of her waist and hips, while her slightly uneasy eyes looked at Yao Yan.
Yao Yan smiled at the little fox demon on his shoulder. "Time to work."
Through their spiritual connection, Ling'er immediately understood Yao Yan's intentions. Her cute eyes grew more serious. She lifted her chubby little hands and gently clenched them, causing a miniature version of the Five Wheels of Leaving Fire Formation to appear around Xiao Yi Xian. Five vivid fire spirits took their positions at the eight directions, absorbing the energy from the magma below and causing the temperature within the formation to rise rapidly.
"Shh shh!"
As a large amount of energy gathered, Xiao Yi Xian's body reacted instinctively. It seemed like she sensed danger, and waves of gray-purple toxic mist began to leak uncontrollably from her body. This mist clashed with the fire attribute energy within the formation.
"Don't worry, I'm here. You won't be harmed," Yao Yan gently reassured her, then took out the materials needed for the poison pill method from his spatial ring.
An eighth-grade Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast's magic core.
Bodhi transformation saliva.
These materials, rare in the outside world, were easily obtainable in the Hun Realm. Especially the Bodhi transformation saliva, which was in abundance within the Hun Clan. Every time the Bodhi Tree emerged, the Hun Clan would send people to search for or seize these materials.
"This method is called the Poison Pill method. It requires the use of three types of heavenly flames to suppress the Curse Poison Body's toxic gases, then integrate it with the magic core of the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast. In the future, you'll be able to use this as a medium to fully control your Curse Poison Body!" Yao Yan explained the Poison Pill method, then looked at Xiao Yi Xian and continued, "Now, remove your clothes."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's face instantly flushed red, her heart racing to her throat. She didn't dare look at Yao Yan's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, she gently untied the belt around her waist. Her long skirt slid down, revealing a flawless, jade-like body before Yao Yan's eyes.
Her delicate, fair skin and proud curves were extremely tempting.
But Yao Yan was no stranger to this. When he sealed her Curse Poison Body in the Gama Empire, he had closely observed her. He had even used his spiritual power to delve into the mysteries of her Curse Poison Body.
More than three years had passed, and Xiao Yi Xian had indeed grown.
He quietly evaluated her in his heart, but his face remained calm, unaffected by the alluring figure before him. He raised his hand and gently pointed, unlocking the seal within Xiao Yi Xian.
With the dissolution of the seal on her forehead, terrifying deep gray toxic mist erupted violently from Xiao Yi Xian's body. Her purple-tinged eyes instantly turned pure gray, radiating a deathly aura, devoid of life. It was a sight that would send chills down anyone's spine!
This was the Curse Poison Body. When it fully erupted, this gray toxic mist would consume its host's life force, turning them into a "toxic being" without a trace of life!
As the gray mist spread, Xiao Yi Xian's face turned pale, her once gentle features now frozen, as though she was struggling to suppress the backfire from the Curse Poison Body, unwilling to completely lose everything.
Her once jet-black hair turned silver-white in an instant, and her life force began to fade.
"This Curse Poison Body really is domineering!" Yao Yan thought to himself. His movements didn't slow down. The Five Wheels of Leaving Fire Formation surrounding Xiao Yi Xian sank into her body, using even more forceful methods to suppress the toxic gas that erupted from her body.
"Shh shh~"
The gray-white toxic mist tried to resist but couldn't even shake the formation. It was quickly suppressed by the flame power within the formation. Within a few moments, the toxic gas, filled with death's aura, was all concentrated in her abdomen.
At the same time, the magic core of the eighth-grade Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast was placed in the center of the toxic gas.
"Don't fall asleep, you still need to concentrate to condense the final poison pill. I can only help you suppress the toxic gas!" Yao Yan's spiritual power echoed in Xiao Yi Xian's mind, waking her up. He then began to refine the Bodhi transformation saliva, the green liquid, rich with life-giving energy, flowed into Xiao Yi Xian's body, starting from her abdomen.
The Bodhi transformation saliva, a Dou Saint-level cultivation resource, contained life and creation power. It could rejuvenate a decaying body, even enhancing its cultivation potential.
With its nourishment, Xiao Yi Xian's body, which had lost its life force due to the toxic gas, began to revive, and her vitality became even stronger than before.
"Push the toxic gas into the magic core!" Yao Yan reminded her in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian began to guide the toxic gas in her body toward the magic core. With the nourishment from the Bodhi transformation saliva, the magic core of the Sky Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast seemed to come to life again. As the toxic gas merged with it, the magic core began to actively absorb it, transforming it into a poison pill.
Seeing everything going smoothly, Yao Yan relaxed a bit, gently rubbing Ling'er's head before pulling her into his body. He sat cross-legged opposite Xiao Yi Xian, quietly waiting.
As for the magma below, he didn't give it a second glance, nor did he have any further thoughts. Even though he now had the qualifications to enter it, and perhaps even meet Zi Yan's father!
But given his current strength, meeting Zhu Kun wouldn't allow for any meaningful conversation. The power gap was too vast, and Zhu Kun might not even pay attention to him. In fact, with that temper, Zhu Kun might directly kill him.
If he were to meet him, he would have to bring Zi Yan along, or his strength would need to reach eight-star Dou Saint!
"That day isn't too far off!" Yao Yan whispered to himself, slowly closing his eyes as he waited for Xiao Yi Xian's transformation to finish.
Condensing a poison pill was no easy task. After all, the poison pill method was a shortcut that forced the toxic gas in her body into the magic core using heavenly flame power, then used Bodhi transformation saliva to revive her body, thereby fully controlling the Curse Poison Body.
In this way, most of the Curse Poison Body's energy would be transferred into the poison pill, much like how a magic beast's essence is stored within its magic core.
In the quiet magma world, the two figures sat cross-legged in the air.
A milky-white flame floated, slowly emitting light, illuminating their surroundings.
Time passed slowly.
Xiao Yi Xian's aura gradually grew stronger, rushing toward the Dou Zun realm.
...
Outside.
With the closure of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, the inner courtyard became lively, with many people inquiring about what had happened. After all, the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower had never been closed since the Fallen Heart Flame was replaced more than a decade ago. Its sudden closure left everyone in the inner courtyard confused, including some of the elders.
Even Hu Qian from the outer courtyard approached Su Qian to ask about the reason. After all, his granddaughter was in the inner courtyard, and the closure of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower would also affect Hu Jia's cultivation.
"Old man, don't tell me the Fallen Heart Flame is about to explode!" Hu Qian said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, his tone teasing.
"That kid is back." Su Qian hesitated for a moment before revealing that Yao Yan had returned.
"Which kid?" Hu Qian frowned, then suddenly a figure appeared in his mind. His expression changed, and he spoke in a low voice, "You mean that kid?!"
"Yes!" Su Qian nodded, with a slight hint of emotion. It had been several days since Yao Yan returned, and he was still in shock.
He was a Dou Saint!
So terrifying!
"Is he the one who wants to borrow the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower? No wonder." Hu Qian nodded slightly, suddenly understanding why Su Qian did this. Given Yao Yan's status and his connection to Canaan Academy, it made sense for Su Qian to make an exception.
"Don't ask about the rest. It's no use telling you. With all this spare time, you'd be better off checking on your granddaughter," Su Qian said impatiently, clearly not fond of Hu Qian's granddaughter.
Hu Qian's face stiffened, and he didn't want to say anything. As for his granddaughter, he had his own frustrations. Despite her excellent talent and appearance, something had gone wrong. She didn't like handsome boys and instead had an interest in beautiful women. In recent years, she had become involved with the chief auctioneer of the Heavenly Court.
It was infuriating!
At his age, his heart couldn't take it.
...
...
"Ya Fei sister, it's been so long since we last met. Don't leave tonight, stay at my place, let's take a bath together~"
At this moment, on a street in the inner courtyard, a beautiful girl with excellent looks and temperament was holding a woman's arm. Her eyes burned with desire as she greedily gazed at every part of the woman before her. From her appearance, temperament, figure, strength, and status, the woman in the red cheongsam was completely enchanting.
"I've been busy lately, so I may not be able to stay with you... Sorry, Hu Jia," Ya Fei said, looking at the girl with a bit of a headache. She remembered when she first met this girl; she seemed normal, but as their interactions grew, the girl's true nature began to show. Even she felt a bit overwhelmed.
Being admired by men was something she was used to, but being admired by a girl seemed absurd.
Hu Qian, the vice dean, was indeed teaching his granddaughter well, which also indirectly reflected the fact that Canaan Academy had an abundance of talent!
