153: Chapter 153 Little Fairy Doctor Bites Back! Strange Butterfly

What were Gu Han and Xiao Yi Xian doing?

If the two people involved knew the question in Yun Yun's heart, they would definitely tell her it was 'Love!'

With the Yin Yang Twin Flames augmenting the Qiankun One Night, outside the Heavenly Flame barrier, ice-attribute, poison-attribute, and the two attributes of Yin and Yang natural energy gathered of their own accord, finally condensing into the shape of swimming fish and rotating continuously.

The poisonous gas within the secret chamber was devoured, and after being purified by the Yin Yang Twin Flames, it entered the interior of the barrier.

In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

Gu Han and Xiao Yi Xian assumed various cultivation postures as indicated by the cultivation technique.

When he first obtained the Xuanwu Shell's directional deduction ability, Gu Han had once deduced more methods to solve the Calamity Poison Body.

At that time, he obtained three methods. Method one was to master the Yin Yang Twin Flames and a certain Dual Cultivation technique; provided the user's cultivation was not lower than the Calamity Poison Body owner by a full major realm, one could control the Yin Yang Twin Flames to perform the Poison Pill Method while dual cultivating.

In other words, in a Dual Cultivation state, three types of Heavenly Flames were not needed. As long as one had the Yin Yang Twin Flames, bodhi transformation saliva, and the Monster Core of a Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, the owner of the Calamity Poison Body could 100% condense a poison pill.

Currently, Gu Han did not have the bodhi transformation saliva or the Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Monster Core yet, but this did not stop him from planning ahead.

While practicing the secret technique and changing postures, he did not forget to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Calamity Poison Body.

First was defining the problem; he had an accurate observation and understanding of the seven-colored lead wire at Xiao Yi Xian's lower abdomen and the composition of the toxins in her body.

Next was analyzing the conditions; he found key information and hidden conditions on Xiao Yi Xian's body, finalizing the core elements clearly.

Following that was formulating a strategy; specific problems required specific responses. Xiao Yi Xian had the Calamity Poison Body, which was different from Cai Die, who was a transformed Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. Therefore, the problem-solving strategy naturally had to change, requiring specific formulas and theorems, though some fixed formulas would remain.

Once the above three points were determined, it was a matter of step-by-step derivation, progressing gradually from the shallow to the deep. Every step had to have a clear basis to ensure the derivation process was rigorous.

Finally, checking the results; that is, after reaching an answer, one should do it a few more times to confirm it through reverse verification.

"Boom!"

Gu Han's cultivation broke through again, reaching Seven-Star Dou Ling.

Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation surged even more, rising to Three-Star Dou Ling.

"Xian'er, there is a simpler solution for your Calamity Poison Body."

Gu Han and Xiao Yi Xian sat there cultivating palm-to-palm. He quietly admired the bashfulness on the young girl's exquisite face.

"Hmm?" Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes blinked as she waited for Gu Han to explain.

"Not long ago, I told you about the Poison Pill Method. That is the most difficult way with a low success rate, and it depends on yourself," Gu Han answered seriously. "But now, you don't need that."

"If you are dual cultivating with the owner of the Yin Yang Twin Flames, after finding the bodhi transformation saliva and a Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Monster Core, a single Heavenly Flame can help you successfully condense a poison pill with a 100% success rate."

Xiao Yi Xian's breathing quickened slightly, her delicate chest trembling. "Young Master, is this true?"

"Just call me by my name from now on." Gu Han's eyes were gentle, his voice carrying warmth. "Of course it's true. If we only consider solving the Calamity Poison Body issue, the bodhi transformation saliva and the Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Monster Core can both be replaced with certain sixth-tier natural treasures and sixth-tier poison-attribute magical beast cores."

"I'll call you by your name in private then." Xiao Yi Xian felt as if the shackles on her body had been completely removed. She puffed out her cheeks and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"If I told you before, wouldn't that have been like enticing you to dual cultivate with me?" Gu Han withdrew his hand and pinched Xiao Yi Xian's dainty nose. "I like you, and I hope you like me too. I don't want our being together to be mixed with other reasons."

"Of course, if your life were in danger, I would have told you even if it wasn't perfect."

"But as you know, I am also capable of achieving the most difficult method."

Mm!

Xiao Yi Xian gave a soft response and proactively threw herself into Gu Han's arms, her tone full of hope. "So that means I won't have to worry about the Calamity Poison Body erupting soon, and I can be liberated from the calamity, right?"

"Not just soon, it's already done." Gu Han hugged Xiao Yi Xian tightly. "In the future, as long as your cultivation doesn't exceed mine by a full major realm, I can help you clear the toxins in your body and suppress the urge to devour poisonous substances through the Yin Yang Twin Flames and the Dual Cultivation technique from time to time. You can feel it for yourself."

As he spoke, Gu Han took out a fourth-tier poison grass from his storage ring that he had already prepared for Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian took a look and only felt that the poison grass would be delicious, but she didn't have that physiological devouring desire she used to have when seeing poisonous things.

"If you had told me earlier, I would have dual cultivated with you long ago!" Xiao Yi Xian's tone carried a hint of complaint and feigned annoyance.

Seemingly feeling her words were too harsh, she added, "Actually, I've liked you for a long time. I only hid those feelings because the Calamity Poison Body hadn't been solved."

"If you had told me earlier, I would have found an opportunity to take the initiative long ago."

"How proactive?" Gu Han asked with a smile.

"The kind that would scare you to death," Xiao Yi Xian hummed, her mouth stubborn.

"Let me see just how scary it is." Gu Han pinned Xiao Yi Xian beneath him, causing a startled cry.

Didn't you say I should be the proactive one!?

Another half hour passed.

Gu Han walked into the secret chamber with his arm around Xiao Yi Xian.

This was a residence with a fair amount of space.

In the very center of the chamber was a circular platform. On the platform was a decayed prayer mat, and sitting upon it was a skeleton in tattered clothes.

"Thank you for helping Xian'er and me break the ice."

"As thanks, I will ensure that no one in this world will ever disturb your long sleep again."

With a wave of his hand, Gu Han took the storage ring from the skeleton's hand, then controlled the Yin Yang Twin Flames to incinerate everything in the chamber, including the skeleton, which was completely obliterated.

Having done all this, he turned to leave with Xiao Yi Xian, snapping his fingers as they walked out of the chamber.

Terrifying cold air raged, sealing the chamber in ice; once it melted, it would completely collapse.

"Back to the Cloud Mist Sect. We'll fly slowly."

Arriving above the dry well, Gu Han released the Purple Wing Cloud Crane and stood on its back with Xiao Yi Xian.

By now, the bright moon hung high outside, and the sky was filled with stars.

Gu Han held Xiao Yi Xian, admiring the beautiful night scenery.

Calculating the time, he found that the zi hour was about to pass.

Gu Han was in no hurry to obtain his fortuitous encounter. Instead, he took out the Seventh-Tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast hide he had obtained from Mu Xiusi and summoned the Yin Yang Twin Flames to roast it.

A soul shock emanated from the hide, repeatedly striking Gu Han's soul, but it was easily suppressed by him.

The phantom of the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python magical beast soon transformed into countless fragments of information.

It was a place where poisonous gas stretched endlessly and countless poisonous creatures surged.

A Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast galloped through it, continuously devouring the poisonous gas.

Suddenly, a very beautiful light purple butterfly appeared. It was tiny compared to the massive body of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast as it landed upon it.

In the next moment, an astonishing scene occurred. Under the control of that butterfly, the surrounding poisonous gas instantly turned into flames, enveloping the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and beginning to incinerate it.

The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast used every means to flee that poisonous marshland, but in the end, it still fell, leaving behind only a scorched piece of beast hide.

"Hiss—" Gu Han was shocked in his heart.

That light purple butterfly was clearly the Netherworld Poison Flame.

This Heavenly Flame existed within the Ancient Netherworld Poison Marsh. After being nurtured for tens of millions of years by the sky-obscuring poisonous miasma in the marsh, the flame fed on endless poisonous gas. It became a spirit after a hundred years and took shape after a thousand years. When it reached maturity, its color shifted toward green, traveling through the miasma of the poison marsh like a ghost fire.

Because the flame itself was nurtured into a spirit by poisonous miasma, it was highly toxic. Even a moment's contact with a spark would result in being heavily poisoned, let alone devouring and refining it. Consequently, few people went looking for this Heavenly Flame, and Alchemists, to put it simply, avoided it. This led to almost no one knowing of its existence.

After fully taking shape, the Netherworld Poison Flame would transform into a butterfly and move about in places filled with poisonous gas.

"How terrifying."

"This Heavenly Flame is practically tailor-made for Xian'er."

"The Heavenly Flame within this Netherworld Poison Flame is enough to help Xian'er break through to Dou Zun!"

Absorbing the information in an instant, Gu Han prepared to conduct a directional deduction.

But in the next moment, information surfaced in his mind again.

"So it's this place. It's not surprising that the Netherworld Poison Flame exists there."

"It looks like I'll have to go to Jia Nan Academy to spirit Zi Yan away."
