15: Awakening the Poisonous Body

Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a misty valley.

After slaughtering the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, to avoid potential trouble, Xiao Yi Xian brought Xiao Lei to her secret base.

The valley had a unique terrain and was obscured by mist, making it naturally difficult for ordinary people to find.

Xiao Lei sat cross-legged in front of a Medicine Cauldron, his palm resting on it from time to time, channeling Dou Qi into it.

Every now and then, the hand seals Xiao Lei formed would change, and then he would open the Medicine Cauldron and throw a piece of Poison Vine Serpent carcass into it.

Inside the Medicine Cauldron, emerald green poisonous gas and pale yellow flames intertwined, wildly intense.

Upon contact with the flames urged forth by Xiao Lei, the flesh immediately sizzled, turning into wisps of emerald green smoke.

At the center of the Medicine Cauldron, an emerald green Beast Flame had already taken shape, its flickering flames filled with dense poisonous gas; a Dou Practitioner would likely perish if they even touched a trace of it.

If Xiao Lei had possessed such a Beast Flame when he slaughtered the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, he probably wouldn't have needed to wield his long saber.

This process continued for several more hours until Xiao Lei threw the last piece of flesh into it, and the flame seed within the Medicine Cauldron suddenly burst forth with an emerald green light, looking quite eerie.

"Success!"

Xiao Lei opened the Medicine Cauldron, took out the Poison Vine Fire from within, examined it carefully, and was greatly satisfied.

With it, Xiao Yi Xian's Awakening of the Calamity Poison Body could begin.

After all, there weren't many poisons in the Jia Ma Empire, and the poisons recorded in the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture were troublesome to produce. With this Beast Flame, Xiao Lei could rely on his powerful Cultivation to provide Xiao Yi Xian with enough poisonous Qi for her Cultivation anytime, anywhere.

"So amazing!"

Xiao Yi Xian leaned closer, her large eyes curiously fixed on the Poison Vine Fire in Xiao Lei's hand, from which wisps of poisonous Qi occasionally flew out.

Having witnessed Xiao Lei refine a flame from the body of a poisonous snake over the past few days, Xiao Yi Xian's curiosity about Alchemy increased.

"Sit cross-legged. After I successfully absorb this Beast Flame, I will help you gently Awaken your Calamity Poison Body."

After speaking, Xiao Lei took out two Medicinal Pills and swallowed them in one gulp, then he unhesitatingly swallowed the Beast Flame.

Beast Flames are not like Heavenly Flames; although their appearance is violent, the actual threat they pose to the consumer is not great. Moreover, this was only a Rank 3 Beast Flame. Xiao Lei could even handle its former owner when it was alive, so why fear a mere Beast Flame?

The scene before her stunned Xiao Yi Xian, who had felt the power of that Beast Flame from the side. Xiao Lei actually swallowed it directly.

"No wonder he can become a Great Dou Master at such a young age!" Xiao Yi Xian exclaimed.

Why could Xiao Lei become a Great Dou Master?

Of course, it was due to his talent and hard work!

The Medicinal Pill Xiao Lei took was not a high-grade Medicinal Pill, but merely a Rank 2 Ice Meridian Pill.

Xiao Lei's current Alchemy skill was only enough for him to refine Medicinal Pills of this grade. Of course, it should be sufficient to assist him in devouring a Rank 3 Beast Flame.

As soon as the emerald green Beast Flame entered Xiao Lei's Meridians, it immediately began to release poisonous Qi in all directions, intending to poison Xiao Lei to death!

This action was undoubtedly like using an 'Excitement Punch' on a villain.

In just a moment, Xiao Lei successfully imprinted his Soul mark on the Beast Flame, and then the Poison Vine Fire was thrown into his Dou Qi vortex.

Beast Flames are different from Heavenly Flames; they do not require Soul isolation. The poisonous Qi of the Poison Vine Fire, once it emerges, would be absorbed by Xiao Lei, not affecting his Alchemy at all. He would only intentionally release poisonous Qi when he needed it.

"I actually Broke through to Six-star Great Dou Master!"

Thanks to the Poison Vine Fire's attempt to poison Xiao Lei to death, Xiao Lei, utilizing the Calamity Poison Body, successfully Broke through to Six-star Great Dou Master.

"Sit cross-legged. The crucial part is next!"

Opening his eyes, Xiao Lei didn't hesitate at all and immediately continued to help Xiao Yi Xian Awaken her Calamity Poison Body.

Xiao Yi Xian had been waiting for a long time, and upon hearing his words, she immediately sat up straight.

Xiao Lei opened his left hand, and an emerald green flame immediately appeared. Xiao Lei infused Dou Qi, and the flame instantly flared, wisps of emerald green poisonous Qi spreading out.

"Concentrate and absorb all this poisonous Qi. Once enough poisonous Qi accumulates, your Calamity Poison Body will Awaken on its own!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian immediately snapped back to attention, eagerly inhaling the poisonous Qi Xiao Lei sent before her, while simultaneously circulating it through her Meridians to various parts of her body.

At first, Xiao Yi Xian felt uncomfortable all over from the poisonous Qi, but as the poisonous Qi continuously entered her body, a hint of pleasure actually rose in her heart.

First pain, then pleasure!

"Uh!"

Xiao Yi Xian let out a soft sound, feeling some inexplicable changes occurring in her body.

In Xiao Lei's eyes, it was different.

[Target: A somewhat famous physician.]

[Cultivation: Nine-segment Dou Qi.]

[Cultivation Technique: None.]

[Dou Technique...]

...[Physique: Calamity Poison Body.]

The words 'Not Awakened' in the Physique section had disappeared!

"It's done. Your Calamity Poison Body has Awakened. Your Cultivation is low right now, so you won't feel the pain of poisonous Qi devouring your body, and thus won't have too much sensation about the existence of your Physique."

Xiao Lei casually explained.

"Don't consume too much poison daily. Although the Calamity Poison Body can never be poisoned, overly potent toxins can still make you fall into a coma, which would hinder your Cultivation instead."

For the Calamity Poison Body, consuming poison is like ordinary people eating. Eating too much will still lead to indigestion and be useless.

"This is the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, the gift I mentioned I'd give you. Now that your Physique has Awakened, this item is given to you as agreed. It records many poisons; you can try to make them, but remember, consume poison in moderation."

Xiao Lei pulled a trick, tearing off the method for identifying the Calamity Poison Body recorded on it. If Xiao Yi Xian asked, he would say it was damaged before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain how he knew she possessed the Calamity Poison Body before her Physique had Awakened.

"Thank you!"

Many days had passed since Xiao Yi Xian decided to Awaken her Physique. Xiao Yi Xian's condition had improved significantly; at least, she wasn't sighing anymore.

"Where are we going next?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Xiao Lei's unique gift with surprise.

"Your small valley is nice. These next few days, you can try to concoct some of the poisons from the Poison Scripture, and then we'll head to Blackrock City."

Xiao Lei had already been planning his next copied item. Two Alchemists in Blackrock City were very suitable: both were experienced Dou Shi (Battle Master) in terms of Cultivation, and both were Rank 4 Alchemists in terms of Alchemy.

alchemist badges were just a bonus.

He was going for both of them!

"However, there's still some gap between their strength and mine. I need to find a good way to solve this problem!"

The stronger the item Xiao Lei copied, the longer the copying time and the stronger the discomfort produced.

Xiao Zhan and Gu Ni had deeply experienced this, so Xiao Lei had to find a suitable moment when the target couldn't leave or attack him.

At this moment, Otto and Frank, far away in Blackrock City, couldn't help but shiver... Who's talking about me!
