365: Chapter 365 Innate Physique Modification

With a soft sigh, Feng Ming withdrew his thoughts and focused on checking the rewards issued by the System after consummating his marriage with Lu Qianqian last night.

Just then, a soft female voice suddenly drifted out from the storage ring: "Young Master Feng, if you are free, why don't we have a talk?"

At the same time, Feng Ming also saw the rewards given by the System.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully consummating the marriage with his wife, Lu Qianqian!]

[Consummation Reward obtained: Dragon and Phoenix Reversal Art Third Level effect increased to 34 times, Longevity Equal to the Sovereign increased to the tenth level, one cup of enlightenment tea, one Xiantian Physique Transformation Manual, and ten Selectable Rare Spiritual Plant Gift Boxes!]

Looking at the list of rewards before him, a flash of excitement instantly appeared in Feng Ming's eyes.

The first few rewards were already commonplace to him and not considered rare, but the last two items—the Xiantian Physique Transformation Manual and the ten Selectable Rare Spiritual Plant Gift Boxes—caused his heart to shake violently.

Back at the Liangzhou Trial grounds, he had collected a large number of Spiritual Plants above the seventh grade, and Jiang Qinghe had also gifted him many rare medicinal herbs; all of this was prepared for the child in Jiang Shuwan's womb.

However, he previously only had the Acquired Physique Transformation Manual, and Acquired transformation could only be carried out after the child was born, with effects far inferior to Innate transformation.

He had originally planned to use rare medicinal herbs to refine nourishing Medicinal Pills while Jiang Shuwan was pregnant to help the child develop an Innate Physique within the womb. However, he lacked a method, and everything was uncontrollable. Furthermore, since he was ordered to come to the Imperial Capital for his investiture, this matter had been delayed until now.

Now that the System had directly gifted the Xiantian Physique Transformation Manual, it meant he could transform the child's Physique before birth, allowing the child to possess an Innate Body from the moment they were born, with a starting point far exceeding ordinary people.

Having suffered from a disability since childhood, Feng Ming understood the importance of a Physique to a Cultivator. He would never allow his child to repeat his past mistakes; he wanted the child to stand at the highest starting point from the very beginning.

Thinking of this, he quickly focused his mind to check the details of the Xiantian Physique Transformation Manual.

[Xiantian Physique Transformation Manual]: Records the transformation methods for the four ranks of Innate Physiques—Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow—as well as the required Heaven And Earth Treasures. It also contains a random Innate Physique transformation method that can awaken an Innate Physique far beyond the norm.

[Friendly Reminder 1]: For the explicitly recorded Physiques, the highest transformation possible is to the Innate heaven grade. The higher the rank, the rarer the required Spirit Medicines.

[Friendly Reminder 2]: For the random Innate Physique transformation, the minimum is the Innate heaven grade, with a chance to awaken a Saint Body above the heaven grade. However, the required Heaven And Earth Treasures are numerous, and the cost is immense.

After reading the introduction, Feng Ming understood why the System had included the ten Selectable Rare Spiritual Plant Gift Boxes. It had clearly anticipated that the herbs required for transforming an Innate Physique would be numerous and feared he would have difficulty gathering them all.

Even so, when he saw the list of Spiritual Plants required for a random Innate heaven grade Physique, he couldn't help but sigh softly. The required rare Spiritual Plants numbered in the dozens; ten selectable gift boxes were far from enough.

"I already have some of these herbs, while others are still missing. However, I have an ample reserve of Spiritual Plants above the seventh grade, so I can go to various Auction Houses to trade for them," Feng Ming thought to himself. "A child is only born once, and moreover, this is my own flesh and blood. I must take a gamble and choose the random transformation. If a Saint Body can be awakened, it would be a heaven-sent Opportunity."

As a parent, one always wants to leave the best of everything for their child, and Feng Ming was no exception.

He put away the ten rare Spiritual Plant gift boxes for the time being, intending to wait until the very end to open them and exchange for the herbs that were truly difficult to find.

Afterward, he listed all the Spiritual Plants required for the random Innate Physique transformation and handed the list to Feng Da, ordering him to use all available resources to search and trade at various Auction Houses, ensuring all Materials were gathered before he returned from the Xun Prefecture.

Having finished these arrangements, Feng Ming finally had time to attend to the person who had spoken from within the storage ring. When he saw the woman's appearance and the empty venom basin in the storage ring, he was momentarily stunned.

"Miss, why were you sealed in ice? And where did the venom I collected previously go?"

Hearing this, the woman showed a hint of apology and said softly, "That venom has been absorbed by me. Besides, it was originally mine; Young Master Feng wouldn't be angry because of that, would you? As for the reason I was sealed in ice, it's a long story..."

Feng Ming waved his hand. "I'm not exactly angry. Since it's your property, it's only right to return it to its owner. If you're willing, you can tell me about your background; I have plenty of time to listen right now."

The woman nodded and slowly recounted her life story.

This woman was named Wanyan Lin, hailing from a Hidden Family called the Poison Immortal Valley. The valley was filled with poisonous plants and nurtured poisonous insects, serving as a gathering place for all the world's toxins.

As for Wanyan Lin herself, she possessed the world-rare Ten Thousand Poison Body, capable of absorbing all poisons and being immune to them. However, to Feng Ming's surprise, upon investigation, he found that Wanyan Lin had no cultivation strength at all, as if she had no means of self-protection other than her lethal toxicity.

As if seeing through his confusion, Wanyan Lin said softly, "Although I have no cultivation now, the poison on my body is enough to kill all Cultivators at the Mahayana Realm and below."

Feng Ming was startled, thinking to himself that he happened to be at the Mahayana Stage; this girl was practically a walking lethal poison weapon.

He quickly spoke, "Rest assured, Miss, I am not a bad person. Our meeting is also a matter of fate. You wouldn't poison me, would you?"

Wanyan Lin hurriedly shook her head, her eyes earnest. "Lin'er wouldn't dare. Lin'er appeared this time to beg Young Master Feng for help, so how could I dare to harm you?"

"??? What do you want me to help you with?" Feng Ming asked.

Wanyan Lin's eyes were instantly filled with anger and sorrow. Her knees buckled, and she actually knelt directly before Feng Ming. "I beg Young Master Feng to help Lin'er avenge the extermination of my clan!"

Feng Ming was shocked and quickly stepped forward to help her up. "There's no need for this, Miss. Speak slowly. What exactly happened to the Poison Immortal Valley? Whom do you want to seek revenge against?"

Wanyan Lin looked at Feng Ming, her tears falling like broken pearls. Her voice choked with sobs as she slowly recounted that deep-seated blood feud from fifty years ago.

Fifty years ago, a group of heinous evil Cultivators suddenly broke into the hidden Poison Immortal Valley.

They had somehow discovered the location of the Poison Immortal Valley, and upon entering, they launched a bloody massacre. Not a single member of the clan in the valley was spared; all died tragically, with only Wanyan Lin surviving.

Her parents also died at the hands of the evil Cultivators during that catastrophe while trying to protect her. Overnight, the vast Poison Immortal Valley was left with only her, an orphaned girl.

She had no strength and didn't even have the right to resist, only able to watch helplessly as her clansmen died tragically.

Those evil Cultivators spared her life not out of the kindness of their hearts, but because they had already learned she possessed the Innate Myriad Poison Physique. They wanted to use her as a vessel for refining poison, utilizing her Physique to create the most lethal medicine in the world.

Feng Ming frowned and pressed further, "Your strength is low, and they kept you under strict supervision. How did you escape?"
