Chapter 77: Helping Little Fairy Doctor seize the Beast Fire, she suddenly fainted.

Inside the passage of the icy mountain cave.

The cold air was like snow; Gu He and Xiao Yi Xian felt nothing, but Qing Lin shivered.

Gu He took out a Pixiu cloak and draped it over her.

Qing Lin raised her reddened hands to rub her cheeks, wanting to return the cloak to Gu He.

"My Lord, it's not needed. Later, I still want to protect Sister Xiao Yi Xian!"

Ever since Qing Lin contracted the Six-Winged Fish Lion Serpent Beast, she had been eager to try her strength.

Gu He firmly stuffed the cloak back onto her, "Be obedient!"

Xiao Yi Xian rubbed Qing Lin's head and said seriously, "When I truly need protection, I will definitely call for you."

Qing Lin pouted, "When I become strong, I will definitely stand in front of Sister Xian to protect you!"

The three of them walked along the black and white path into the depths of the cave.

Gu He looked at the Seal formed by a large block of ice in front of him and flicked his finger lightly.

A cyan-white flame, like a bullet capable of analyzing all things, sank deep into the Seal, and then the ice shattered, with countless blue crystals falling down with a clatter.

Everyone was finally able to see that inside the small cave, a pure white Phoenix bird on the floating ice of the cold pool opened its eyes.

Its sapphire-like eyes gazed at the newcomers, yet it was unexpectedly calm. It lazily raised its head, took a look at the number of people, and then lay down to rest without closing its eyes.

"Teacher, is this the Fire Bat?" Xiao Yi Xian asked, feeling a bit strange.

This Rank 5 Demonic Beast looked too calm.

Even though they had come with ill intentions, the Fire Bat seemed not to care at all.

Gu He pondered silently for a moment.

"Because it is a bat-bird, its body is highly poisonous. Unless you use a Heavenly Flame that is many times stronger than its Bat Fire to kill it instantly, as I would, the highly toxic energy released by its blood can easily devour its master."

"Killing anyone below the Dou Huang rank is not a problem."

"And why would a powerhouse with a Heavenly Flame look down on a Beast Fire?"

"So... the black and white things we stepped on along the way were the ashes of those who came before?"

Qing Lin's face stiffened and her figure swayed; Gu He gently patted her back.

"It's alright..."

Qing Lin forced herself to calm down, "Then what should Sister Xiao Yi Xian do?"

Xiao Yi Xian tucked the Pixiu cloak around Qing Lin and pressed her warm palm against Qing Lin's cheek.

"Little Qing Lin, I forgot to tell you, I—"

"Have already achieved a Breakthrough to Dou Huang!"

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Gu He's face.

His Xiao Yi Xian was indeed very strong.

Xiao Yi Xian waved her sleeve, forming a Heavenly Poison Prison Realm between herself and the bird.

The space distorted to form an invisible cage; the cage had no doors or locks, yet it trapped the person and creature within, unable to struggle or escape.

"Hiss—"

The poison Qi released by Xiao Yi Xian instantly contaminated this sealed space.

Only then did the Fire Bat realize what a troublesome opponent it had encountered this time!

Its confidence in its own poisonous body had backfired on it!

It never expected to encounter an Alchemist who practiced both medicine and poison!

Feeling the space energy filled with highly toxic poison, the Fire Bat circled anxiously in the low air of the cave.

"Clang, clang—"

The Fire Bat took flight, its sound ringing out.

A white flame blade, like a curved scythe flying towards her, stirred up a gale and attacked Xiao Yi Xian.

"Poison Spring!"

A mucus-like gray light directly covered the Fire Bat's attack in the next instant.

"Clang!"

The Fire Bat rammed its head forward, but it couldn't fly out of Xiao Yi Xian's prison realm at all.

Xiao Yi Xian smiled faintly, her smile somewhat ethereal, as a giant gray-purple hand formed by poison Dou Qi fiercely grabbed the Fire Bat's neck out of thin air.

It was the Corrosive Poison Devil Hand!

Xiao Yi Xian prepared to finish off the Fire Bat cleanly, however,

"Chirp!!"

The Fire Bat let out a whimper, its sharp beak grabbed the feathers by its neck, and then it bit down hard, tearing off skin and flesh.

It was actually harming itself!

It wanted to use the fatal poisonous blood recorded in those ancient books to take down Xiao Yi Xian!

Xiao Yi Xian's expression darkened, but as the highly toxic blood flowed down, staining the Fire Bat's white feathers red, the flowing blood quickly became viscous and stiff over time, and the highly toxic energy began to become active.

Xiao Yi Xian suddenly became excited!

The Fire Bat's blood was shining in her eyes at this moment, just like a Supreme tonic!

The Poison Devouring Art was constantly taking effect and activating.

Xiao Yi Xian simply wanted to take a bite directly into the bird's neck! It was too fragrant!

However, Teacher Gu He was watching from behind her, so she had to restrain her behavior.

Furthermore, the purple poison Dou Qi hand pressed and twisted the Fire Bat's neck with force, just like bleeding a chicken's neck.

"Clang, whimper...!"

The Fire Bat let out a final whimper, its sapphire eyes instantly dimming to gray.

It couldn't understand why, after releasing its highly toxic poison, the expression of the Xiao Yi Xian in front of it became increasingly excited, without a trace of fear...

At the very last moment, it finally realized that it had fallen into the poison array of this seemingly young girl.

Using the person and the beast as a cage, the toxins in the space had long since burrowed into its beast body, making its consciousness dull and its thoughts and reactions slow.

The Rank 5 Demonic Beast's Divine Sense was instantly extinguished.

Before long, the Fire Bat's corpse began to shine brilliantly, and a faint white flame rose from its crown.

The flame was like water, faintly containing poison.

The instant the flame left its body, the Fire Bat's corpse spontaneously combusted without fire, as if it had burned up all its body's energy, dissipating into the air.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the white ash with regret and swallowed her saliva.

After all, the Fire Bat looked highly poisonous and its meat was delicious; such natural poisonous things were very rare.

"Xian'er, go ahead and absorb the Beast Fire." Gu He patted Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, spread her purple wings, and flew onto the large block of ice on the lake in the Fire Bat's Immortal Cave.

Then she sat cross-legged, guiding that wisp of white Bat Fire to her side...

Watching her serious expression, Gu He took Qing Lin out of the Immortal Cave to wait together for Xiao Yi Xian to finish the Fusion of the Beast Fire.

The wind blew, and the leaves rustled.

"My Lord, I... I want to take my snake-type beast and go for a stroll." In Qing Lin's eyes, a light of eagerness flashed for the second time.

She wanted... to fight!

She wanted to train herself!

Gu He rubbed Qing Lin's head, "Go ahead, be careful."

He took out a disposable sound transmission Jade Slip and handed it to Qing Lin, "Keep this with you. If you encounter danger, send me a message, and I will come to save you immediately."

Qing Lin nodded heavily, happily.

She could feel the trust and doting in Gu He's gaze.

Gu He instructed again, "This is the depths of the mountain range, don't go too far."

"Okay!"

Gu He watched Qing Lin skipping away, like an old father watching his child wanting to play in the deep end of a swimming pool.

Since Qing Lin had now contracted the Six-Winged Serpent Beast, he should indeed be a bit more lenient.

"Bleh~"

Qing Lin suddenly turned her head back and playfully stuck her tongue out at Gu He.

Gu He nodded and watched her leave with a smile.

After a while.

Bursts of hot air suddenly came from the entrance of the icy mountain cave.

It seemed like smoke was drifting out from inside.

Gu He frowned and walked in.

Xiao Yi Xian was already a Fourth-Grade Alchemist, her Alchemy skills were already perfect, and she was unrivaled among her peers.

It was impossible for her to make a mistake in absorbing this Beast Fire, right?

Gu He walked into the inner cave and looked towards that patch of white floating ice.

He saw Xiao Yi Xian with her eyes tightly closed and her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She was lying on the floating ice, swaying on the ice with the wind from the cave entrance, and the hem of her purple-red robe was stained with the pool water, making the color appear a bit deeper.

And her face was visibly fragile, as if she had fallen into some unsolvable dream.
