Xiao Yan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart as he listened to Little Fairy Doctor's sobs. In truth, he hadn't wanted to reveal the Poison Pill thod to her so soon.
Ideally, it would have been best if Little Fairy Doctor could control her craving to consu poison on her own, but reality often went against one's wishes.
By revealing the existence of the Poison Pill thod to Little Fairy Doctor, it was as if he had given her the green light to freely consu poison without fear, knowing that the Poison Pill thod would keep her safe.
Xiao Yan's biggest concern was that without any worries to hold her back, Little Fairy Doctor would no longer suppress her 'appetite' and continue to consu poison, leading to an excessive accumulation that could cause the Woeful Poison Body to erupt prematurely.
Moreover, he knew that this Poison Pill thod was rely a temporary asure and could not completely control the Woeful Poison Body.
According to the detailed steps described in the Poison Pill thod scroll, it utilized three kinds of Heavenly Flas to refine the body's poison, along with the Monster Core of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast and the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, to form a Poison Pill. It essentially treated the Woeful Poison Body as a dicinal cauldron to perform an alchemy process that condensed all the poison into a single pill.
As an alchemist, Xiao Yan naturally understood that the principle behind the Poison Pill thod was essentially a form of alchemy. The thod itself was akin to a recipe for a peak 7th-tier dicinal pill.
Thus, Xiao Yan further understood that the Poison Pill thod was rely a stopgap asure and could not fully resolve the issues with the Woeful Poison Body.
The poison-attribute Dou Qi of the Woeful Poison Body would start to cause problems once it accumulated up to the Dou Ancestor realm, and there would be a constant risk of eruption. A 7th-tier dicinal pill was precisely suitable for Dou Ancestors.
In other words, the Poison Pill could only absorb the poison below the peak Dou Ancestor stage. If Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation surpassed the Dou Ancestor realm and reached the Dou Venerate realm, the Poison Pill would begin to falter.
After all, the dicinal pills used by Dou Venerates were of the 8th tier, and the difference between the 7th tier and 8th tier was not small. The refinent of 8th-tier pills required a Spiritual State that had reached the Soul State, which clearly showed the vast gap between them.
Xiao Yan had searched through all the books in his storage ring but found no complete solution for the Woeful Poison Body.
He dreaded the thought of being helpless in the end, watching Little Fairy Doctor die before his eyes.
Gently patting Little Fairy Doctor's head, Xiao Yan said softly, "Today's breakfast is a little late, huh?"
Little Fairy Doctor ca back to her senses after hearing those words. She took two steps back and noticed that Xiao Yan's clothes were soaked. Her cheeks turned red as she softly said, "Thank you, Xiao Yan."
Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to thank . We're still missing too many things, and we've only taken the first step. So far, I've only succeeded in refining a 4th-tier pill once, and the other two ingredients are still nowhere to be found."
"It's a pity I couldn't find the Ten Thousand Beast Fla in the Magic Beast Mountain Range this ti."
Although the Seed Fla of the Nihility Devouring Fla was also a Heavenly Fla, being newly born, it was still too weak. Its power couldn't compare to that of the Bone Chilling Fla.
Xiao Yan estimated that the Seed Fla would have to grow to the point where it could burn a Rank 6 magical beast to death before it could be considered a true Heavenly Fla.
When Little Fairy Doctor heard this, she finally understood why Xiao Yan had co to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
"So you better control yourself and not be too gluttonous. Rember, you have to wait for to collect the three kinds of Heavenly Flas and reach the 7th-tier alchemist level before I can refine that Poison Pill for you," Xiao Yan advised earnestly.
Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression as he admonished her, Little Fairy Doctor felt a warm current flow through her heart. She wiped the tears from her pretty face and sniffled before secretly vowing to herself, 'No matter what happens in the future, I will always be the Little Fairy Doctor of Qingshan Town in front of you.'
...
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xiao Yan was relieved that Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation hadn't improved at all during this ti.
Watching Little Fairy Doctor cheerfully carry her small flower basket to gather herbs, he also prepared to return to the small cave to continue refining pills. Over these seven days, with the help of the Black Demon's effects, he had once again successfully refined a 4th-tier healing pill.
Only when he could freely control it would he be considered to have truly mastered the Black Demon.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion resounded in the sky. At this mont, a colossal figure erged from the mist at the entrance of the small valley. The temperature in the valley began to rise dramatically the mont this massive creature appeared.
An intensely scorching purple fla resembling a purple sun erupted at the entrance of the small valley, even dispersing the surrounding mist.
"Athyst Winged Lion King!" When Xiao Yan looked up and saw the enormous beast engulfed in purple flas, he imdiately recognized what it was!
A Rank 6 magical beast - the Athyst Winged Lion King!
It was only when Xiao Yan directly faced the Athyst Winged Lion King that he truly understood the might of a Rank 6 magical beast.
If Yun Yun hadn't lured away the Athyst Winged Lion King back then, just a single flap of its wings could have left his bones reduced to dust!
Such was the terror of a Rank 6 magical beast, a fearso existence that even Yun Yun, the Sect Leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, might not be able to defeat!
Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly dropped her flower basket and ran to Xiao Yan's side, tightly gripping the deadliest poison powder she had concocted. She knew that while this poison might kill an ordinary Rank 3 magical beast, it would be utterly ineffective against the Rank 6 Athyst Winged Lion King.
Yet, she didn't flee but chose to stand by Xiao Yan's side.
Xiao Yan clenched his fists. Without Yun Yun present, he had no way to deal with a Rank 6 magical beast. Even if he used the Soul Command to send a spiritual transmission and consu soul points to summon a Dou Emperor from the Hall of Souls for help, he would likely have been reduced to ashes by the ti help arrived at the small valley.
The Athyst Winged Lion King landed heavily in the valley with a thunderous crash. The terrifying heat wave nearly swept Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor off their feet.
This was the first ti Xiao Yan had seen the Athyst Winged Lion King up close, less than three ters away.
Truly facing a Rank 6 magical beast was completely different from observing one from afar. Xiao Yan felt every hair on his body stand on end.
Death felt incredibly close to him!
Not only was the Athyst Winged Lion King present, but the young Athyst Winged Lion
was here as well.
Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes as two high-level magical beasts stared at him. He could even feel his heart beating frantically. He took a deep breath and gradually cald himself down.
Now, the only one who could save him was himself!
"The Lion King honors us with its presence. Xian Er, there's no need to add anything else, just pick so fine dicinal herbs and nectar to brew a pot of herbal tea to properly welco our guest," Xiao Yan said with a slight smile to Little Fairy Doctor beside him.
Little Fairy Doctor looked at him in astonishnt. He was asking her to make tea at a ti like this? And he even hinted at not using poison!
She nodded gravely and said, "No matter what happens, I won't leave you."
Xiao Yan nodded back with a calm smile but remained silent.
"Human, you have so nerve. That Dou Emperor woman is gone, yet you still dare to remain
in the Magic Beast Mountain Range! You even stole my Athyst Lion Birth Essence!!" The Athyst Winged Lion King's face was filled with rage, and a terrifying killing intent locked
onto Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan simply smiled faintly and said, "If the Lion King rely wanted to kill to vent its anger, then I wouldn't have the chance to have this leisurely chat with the Lion King right now. This place would have turned into a hellish scene long ago." "Moreover, although I'm not much, I'm currently a 4th-tier alchemist and have gained so reputation in the Alchemist Association of the Jia Ma Empire. If the Lion King kills , this Soul Command will transmit the incident through a spiritual transmission directly to the Chairman of the Alchemist Association."
"I believe killing a 4th-tier alchemist would be all harm and no benefit for the Lion King."
Xiao Yan played with the Soul Command in his fingers. Naturally, the Athyst Winged Lion King could sense that the object in Xiao Yan's hand was not ordinary but a soul tool capable of transmitting spiritual information.
It had also heard that alchemists could send spiritual transmissions to summon powerful individuals who owed them favors to co to their rescue.
Of course, Xiao Yan was just bluffing, or rather, bluffing the Lion King. Although he had indeed successfully refined 4th-tier dicinal pills, he had not joined the Alchemist Association, nor had he undergone any kind of assessnt. He didn't even know who the Chairman of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association was.
"Ha ha ha! Are you threatening ? A re 4th-tier alchemist? I don't believe the Jia Ma
Empire would wage war over a 4th-tier alchemist." An imnse, terrifying pressure suddenly
pressed down on Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan imdiately activated the Mad Lion Chant to protect his body and released his Spiritual Strength to withstand the crushing pressure.
He faced the Athyst Winged Lion King's oppressive aura with his hands clasped behind his
back. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually frantically mobilizing his Spiritual Strength to resist.
Had it not been for the Spirit Heart Gathering Soul Technique, which had allowed him to reach
the late stage of the Middle Mortal State in terms of Spiritual Strength, he might have been forced to kneel by now.
Monts later, Little Fairy Doctor's voice called out from the thatched hut, "Xiao Yan, the tea
is ready."
Xiao Yan smiled and made a welcoming gesture as he said, "Why not step into my humble abode for so first-class dicinal tea?"
After a mont of silence, the Athyst Winged Lion King's gaze hardened, but eventually,
it slowly retracted its oppressive aura.
'Indeed, the Athyst Winged Lion King did not co here just for the Athyst Lion Birth
Essence.'
'Could it be that thing?'
