105: Chapter 105 Poison Sect's Heavenly Poison Woman, Ice Flame Fruit
Hun Tiandi's sword-like brows knitted tightly together. A trace of unease arose in his heart; the door was completely covered in black-purple gas.
Just as he was about to reach out and push it open, Elder Dan's sharp reprimand rang out: "If you want to die, go ahead and touch it with your hand..."
Hun Tiandi immediately stopped his hand, which was just about to make contact. Could this black-purple gas be something terrifying?
Bang...
With a thought, a ball of golden flames appeared in his hand, burning fiercely and enveloping his wrist as he casually opened the bamboo door.
The bamboo hut was filled with wisps of black-purple mist, making him cough incessantly. He immediately waved his left sleeve, and a powerful surge of energy erupted from his palm, instantly sweeping the mist out of the bamboo hut.
As the black-purple mist gradually dissipated, Hao Meili's eyes were tightly shut on the bamboo bed, her brows furrowed.
Her originally fair, jade-like face was now suffused with a black-purple aura, resembling a venomous snake.
Watching Hao Meili, who seemed to be in great pain, a flash of brilliance crossed Hun Tiandi's eyes. Just as he was about to rush over, Elder Dan hurriedly rushed out from the purple ring and blocked his path.
He immediately bellowed: "Don't touch her."
Elder Dan's shout was like a thunderclap from the purple heavens, rolling and booming, making Hun Tiandi's head spin. His outstretched right hand froze in mid-air.
Hun Tiandi looked at Elder Dan in confusion, his expression one of bewilderment.
"How could she have this kind of constitution?" Surprise appeared on Elder Dan's face, followed by even more gravity. His sharp gaze fixed on Hao Meili's black-purple complexion as he said in a deep voice.
"Teacher, what is going on?"
It was the first time he had seen such a grave expression on Elder Dan, as if he had seen something inconceivable. Hun Tiandi was shocked, and his gaze also fell upon Hao Meili as he asked uneasily.
Elder Dan did not reply. His illusory body drifted like a ghost, circling the unconscious Hao Meili three times to the left and three times to the right. After a moment, he gently shook his head and sighed: "It really is... a rare constitution."
"What exactly is wrong with her?" Hun Tiandi asked anxiously.
Hao Meili had saved his life, and he had yet to repay her; he absolutely could not let anything happen to her.
"Look at the corners of her mouth..." Elder Dan swept his gaze over and pointed at Hao Meili as he spoke.
Hun Tiandi hurriedly turned his head and saw a trace of black powder near her rosy lips. A flash of light crossed his eyes as he leaned forward, stopping a few feet away from her lips.
He sniffed gently a few times. Apart from a faint fragrance, the intense odor emitted by the black powder immediately made his head spin. A feeling of suffocation surged in his chest, and his stomach churned violently.
"Highly toxic? What intense toxicity..." He hurriedly retreated several steps, exclaiming with a pale face: "Is she consuming poison? This terrifying toxicity could even topple a Great Dou Master..."
"Indeed. This young girl has extremely high talent in the way of poison!" Hearing this, Elder Dan nodded slightly, his mysterious tone containing a hint of admiration.
Hearing this, disbelief flickered in Hun Tiandi's eyes. Not to mention the Central Plains, even looking across the entire Fighting Qi Continent, the number of experts who refined and played with poison was extremely small. They could even be called rare in the world.
These people were not well-regarded. Their poison techniques were unfathomable, and almost no one was willing to interact with them. Furthermore, they had reclusive personalities, spending their whole lives wandering in desolate, uninhabited forbidden areas, searching for highly toxic substances.
"Indeed, she is consuming poison. For ordinary people, coming into contact with poison nine times out of ten leads to a bad end, but she is an exception." Elder Dan stroked his beard and said softly.
"Is she a Poison Master? But even Poison Masters can be poisoned to death by the poisons they refine. Such things have happened before." Hun Tiandi said in astonishment.
"Correct, even Poison Masters can be poisoned to death by poison. But there are exceptions in this world. There is a special constitution known as the Innate Poison Body. The appearance of such a poison body eventually brings about destructive disasters." Elder Dan said in a deep voice, seemingly lost in memory.
"Innate Poison Body? Is that also a type of innate constitution?" Hun Tiandi's eyes flashed with brilliance as he asked hurriedly.
"Yes, an innate constitution, and a very special one at that. There are two types of infamous poison bodies known throughout the Fighting Qi Continent: the Ten Thousand Poison Body and the Calamity Poison Body!" Elder Dan confirmed.
A trace of greed appeared in Hun Tiandi's gaze as he looked at Hao Meili. He had not expected this silver-haired woman to possess an innate constitution; he had finally obtained information about another constitution.
Looking at this young girl, she should be a Ten Thousand Poison Body. In the early stages, the Ten Thousand Poison Body requires the consumption of highly toxic substances to activate the poison body. Once activated, it will condense into a trace of the Origin of Ten Thousand Poisons. After the poison source manifests, it fuses into one's own Fighting Qi.
As long as they swallow and refine highly toxic substances, the more precious the poisonous items, the faster their strength improves.
Their body of poisonous Fighting Qi is terrifyingly extreme. A thousand years ago, I saw a record in an ancient book: the Fighting Qi Continent produced a peerless female expert with a Ten Thousand Poison Body. Her poison techniques were extremely domineering, capable of fighting above her level, and her methods were ruthless.
"It is rumored that to cultivate her poison techniques, she did not hesitate to secretly hunt down the descendants of the Dou Di clans, using their Dou Di Bloodline to refine the Ten Thousand Poison Bead. At that time, it was not just the Ancient Eight Clans; numerous races were at war with each other, and she devoured a descendant of the Ice Clan with a God-grade bloodline."
"This immediately drew out high-level Ban Sheng (Half-Saint) experts from the Ice Clan to hunt her down. That woman, with the strength of a Dou Zun, actually killed the Ban Sheng experts pursuing her. The Ice Clan leader was furious and dispatched several Dou Sheng experts to hunt her down."
"Unfortunately, the person with the Ten Thousand Poison Body disappeared without a trace. After searching in vain, she suddenly reappeared nearly a hundred years later, her strength having greatly increased, breaking through to the Dou Sheng level. She directly and forcefully invaded the Ice Realm where the Ice Clan lived and fought a life-and-death battle with the Ice Clan experts..."
"The Ice Clan had no choice but to use their clan-protecting grand formation to surround her. This completely pushed her to the edge, and she chose to self-destruct, forcefully turning a boundless Ice Realm into a dead realm where no living beings remained. Tens of millions of Ice Clan members perished, with countless wandering souls circling."
Elder Dan seemed to be lost in memory, murmuring softly.
"Heh heh heh... She was a ruthless person. Exterminating a whole clan, the living beings... she is on par with me." Hun Tiandi gasped. This woman's strength was not bad, and her style of doing things matched his own temperament.
Therefore, that battle completely established the infamous reputation of the Ten Thousand Poison Body. In the Fighting Qi Continent, that woman killed people as easily as slaughtering chickens, showing no mercy. She undoubtedly offended the dignity of other experts, and thus, even though she died by self-destruction, she could not be punished.
From then on, whenever a Ten Thousand Poison Body appeared, they were to be killed immediately, without mercy; it was absolutely forbidden for such a tragic and horrifying incident to happen again.
"Teacher, is that Hao Meili a Ten Thousand Poison Body? Or a Calamity Poison Body?" His gaze fell on the bamboo bed, on the black-purple aura manifesting on her fair, jade-like face, and he asked tentatively.
"Hmm, it should be the Ten Thousand Poison Body. The cultivation of this rare poison body is very strange. Unlike ordinary experts who simply accumulate Fighting Qi, to improve her strength, she only needs to swallow poisonous substances, condense a trace of the Origin of Ten Thousand Poisons, and fuse it into her own Fighting Qi. Then, she only needs to use her Fighting Qi to refine rare and highly toxic substances, and her strength will soar..." Elder Dan said strangely.
"Just eating poison is enough... This Ten Thousand Poison Body is truly too perverted." Hun Tiandi said, shocked.
"However, the Ten Thousand Poison Body is not without flaws. Although it relies on swallowing poison to improve strength, the stronger the strength, the easier it is for the poison body to backlash. Eventually, it may completely spiral out of control, causing the extremely toxic energy in her body to erupt, and the Ten Thousand Poisons devouring her body will slowly end her life in the most painful way." Elder Dan shook his head slightly and sighed.
"Is there any way to resolve it?" Hun Tiandi asked urgently. If he could help Hao Meili resolve the flaws of the Ten Thousand Poison Body, it would be considered repaying the debt of saving his life.
"Taking a shortcut, using extreme methods to obtain power, naturally requires paying a price. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world." Elder Dan said indifferently.
