106: Chapter 106 Mysterious Ice and Jade Fire Wine

"If, by giving up the consumption of poison to increase strength, is it possible to avoid the final outcome?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"It is basically impossible. For a Ten Thousand Poison Body, the more precious and rare the poison, the greater the attraction, much like Innate Divine Fire is to an Alchemist. Even if it is like a moth to a flame, they will not hesitate."

"They might even be willing to kill and exterminate clans for a single rare poison... Asking them to give up consuming poison is like persuading you to give up cultivation and live a mundane life. Are you confident you can persuade them?"

Elder Dan spoke, completely shattering the sliver of hope in Hun Tiandi's heart.

"Once a Ten Thousand Poison Body begins to consume poison, there is no turning back... Such is fate; we discovered it a step too late," Elder Dan said with a look of regret.

"Sigh." Hun Tiandi's expression shifted, and he ultimately sighed. He was merely a small Dou Master; even if he knew the solution, it was not something he could resolve now.

"It seems the Ten Thousand Poison Body has initially awakened. Do not touch her while she is unconscious, or once the Ten Thousand Poison Body matures, whoever touches her dies..." Elder Dan warned.

Hearing this, the corners of Hun Tiandi's eyes twitched wildly; now he understood why Elder Dan spoke of the terror of the Ten Thousand Poison Body.

Soon after, Elder Dan returned to the purple ring. Hun Tiandi sat on a bamboo chair, brewed a cup of tea, and waited for Hao Meili to wake up.

Looking at the unconscious Hao Meili, such a stunning beauty, she would one day become a notoriously fearsome Poison Master, and the strongest kind at that.

If Alchemists were respected on the Fighting Qi Continent, then the reputation of Poison Masters was basically that of being universally reviled.

According to Elder Dan, with the evolution of Hao Meili's constitution, she would one day become an enemy of the continent, a peerless Poison Master who would cause lifelong fear and dread in others.

If it truly reached that point, she would have no friends, let alone family, leaving her to become a Ten Thousand Poison Body with a monstrously fearsome reputation.

Lifting his teacup, he noticed the black-purple mist on Hao Meili's face was gradually dissipating and fading.

"Is she waking up?"

Hun Tiandi watched quietly. On the bamboo bed, Hao Meili, who had her eyes tightly closed, slowly opened her beautiful eyes. She reached out to wipe the black powder from the corner of her mouth, a bitter expression appearing at the corners of her lips.

"Why didn't I die from the poison? It would have been so good if I never woke up!"

Hao Meili's mournful cries came from under the pillow, her voice choked with sobs. A trace of solemnity grew in Hun Tiandi's heart.

He slowly stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and said gently, "Cry. You will feel better after crying it out."

Sensing someone speak from under the pillow, she sat up abruptly. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety as she asked, "When did you come in?"

"I was a bit hungry earlier, so I just pushed the door open and came in!" Hun Tiandi spread his hands, as if to say, "Why haven't you made food?"

Hearing this, Hao Meili's pretty face changed. She hurriedly wiped the residual medicinal powder from her fingers and looked at him with trepidation.

"Did you touch me?" Hao Meili asked hurriedly.

"No!" Hun Tiandi shook his head.

Seeing this, Hao Meili let out a sigh of relief. She curled up her delicate body, hugging her legs, looking pitiful.

The two fell into silence.

Hun Tiandi did not speak. His gaze fixed on Hao Meili, and he said in a soft tone, "Can you not eat that stuff? At least try to control it."

Hearing this, Hao Meili's expression froze, her delicate body trembled, and she stared at him coldly, saying, "You saw it?"

"The Ten Thousand Poison Body walks a path of no return... Are you afraid?"

"If I were afraid, I would have run away earlier and pretended not to know. Regardless, you saved my life, and I have yet to repay the debt of saving my life."

A gentle smile appeared on Hun Tiandi's handsome face as he spoke calmly.

"The Ten Thousand Poison Body is not without a solution. Give me some time. If it cannot be solved even after searching the entire Fighting Qi Continent, then come with me and slaughter our way into the Major Thousand Worlds. Wherever the solution lies, we will kill our way to it!"

"Even if it means slaughtering sovereign-level peerless powerhouses, I will not hesitate. Believe in me."

Hun Tiandi's tone was indifferent, yet it contained an unquestionable firmness.

"Pfft!" Hearing this, Hao Meili broke into a smile, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes. She said, "Knowing my identity, do you still dare to eat what I make?"

"Naturally, anytime!" Hun Tiandi smiled.

Hao Meili felt a warmth in her heart. Wiping away the tears, she thought happily, "Thank you, Yun Tian. Even if I become a universally reviled Poison Master in the future, I will never forget these beautiful memories."

From then on, the days in the valley became increasingly leisurely. Hun Tiandi practiced his sword skills, ate some poisonous mushrooms, and, under Elder Dan's guidance, learned to identify various medicinal herbs.

Hun Tiandi collected some medicinal herbs in the valley. Nine types of herbs were processed using special techniques to produce mold, which were then fused together to create a mysterious wine starter.

The wine starter contained special medicinal properties, making the brewed spirit wine more mellow and fragrant, better able to stimulate the essence of spiritual fruits with its medicinal power, and the fermentation time was also shorter.

It was enough to allow the brewing pool to finish brewing rapidly within three days.

He did not expect that these nine types of medicinal herbs could be collected in the valley. He began to process them, finally creating the Nine-Turn Medicinal Yeast Pill.

"Hao Meili, why did you come to live in this valley alone?"

Hun Tiandi watched the busy, graceful figure and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing this, Hao Meili's hands, busy with cooking, paused slightly. She then said, "I have been wandering outside since I was young, begging everywhere. One could say I suffered all kinds of hardships. On a stormy night, I met a white-haired woman who called herself the Heavenly Poison Lady of the Poison Sect. Seeing that my constitution was special, she wanted to take me as her disciple."

"To a beggar, it was like grasping a savior. Without any hesitation, I followed the Heavenly Poison Lady to the Poison Sect. From then on, I was fed and clothed well. I treated the Heavenly Poison Lady as my teacher; she taught me cultivation methods and fed me poison..."

"I lived in peace like this for five years. One day, when the Heavenly Poison Lady was out, I mischievously snuck into my master's room. In the attic, I discovered a booklet recording information about the Ten Thousand Poison Body and the method of the Calamity Poison Body."

"Furthermore, it also wrote about raising me up, and after my strength became powerful, using a sacrificial method to devour my origin to increase the teacher's strength..."

Therefore, I took the booklet and fled the Poison Sect overnight, hiding everywhere.

Experts from the Poison Sect were also constantly hunting me down. I was injured many times before hiding in this mysterious valley.

"Poison Sect?" Hearing this, a cold light flashed in the depths of Hun Tiandi's eyes, and his fists clenched, making a creaking sound.

"After escaping, you have been living here all this time..." Hun Tiandi asked, puzzled.

"Correct. The Heavenly Poison Lady is my teacher after all; she raised me for five years. Although her intentions were impure and she wanted to devour me, she did save my life. Out of sight, out of mind; I can only repay this debt in the future, but she absolutely cannot have my life," Hao Meili said sternly.

Hun Tiandi nodded slightly. "How about I teach you how to brew spirit wine!"

"Spirit wine?" Hao Meili asked, mostly out of curiosity.

"Yes, I created something comparable to medicinal pills. Using various spiritual fruits and herbs, fusing them together, and through special means of fermentation, extraction, and refinement, I distill the wine liquid."

"Earlier, I discovered an Ice Flame Tree in the herb garden. The Ice Flame Fruit on it is about to ripen, and it can be used to brew Profound Ice Green Fire Wine," Hun Tiandi said calmly.

"Okay, let's try it!" Hao Meili said curiously.
