Chapter 53 Calamity Poison Body

After the poisonous blood had drained away, Xiao Yan took out three or four bottles of blood-clotting powder.

Before much of the bright red blood flowed out, it was smeared onto the wound.

The perfectly formulated blood-clotting powder took effect quickly, and the three wounds scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye, much to the astonishment of Little Fairy Doctor.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan slowly said, "I am not a member of the herb-gathering team."

"With such good medicine, the herb-gathering team doesn't need someone like you."

Little Fairy Doctor stretched out her slender, white fingers and touched the newly formed scab, then looked up in surprise.

"What kind of medicine is this? How can it have such miraculous effects!"

"The antidote powder is specially formulated by me. The wound-healing powder is a blood-clotting powder that I refined, a healing medicine that only a pharmacist can make." Xiao Yan smiled smugly.

"You made this?" Little Fairy Doctor sized up Xiao Yan, who wasn't much older than her, and curled her lip. "Shameless. Who knows where you bought it from."

"If you were an alchemist, wouldn't you be even more talented than legendary figures like Gu He, the alchemist?"

Noticing Xiao Yixian's appearance, Yao Lao knew exactly what Xiao Yan was thinking, and chuckled, "Little girl, you don't believe me."

"Why does nobody believe the truth these days?" Xiao Yan said helplessly.

The old doctor said, "It's good that the young lady doesn't believe you. If she does, she'll lose everything sooner or later."

"Look at what you're saying, I'm not a bad person."

The puppet bird that the old medicine master had been living in looked up at the sky and remained silent.

I'm afraid you might turn bad and become inhuman.

Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said seriously, "I really am an alchemist. Seeing that you have an excellent grasp of pharmacology, why don't you come with me? I believe it will be of great benefit to your future development."

Having lived in Qingshan Town, a place teeming with mercenaries, for many years, Little Fairy Doctor may be young, but her mind is far more sophisticated than that of an ordinary girl.

Blinking her bright, watery eyes, Little Fairy Doctor thought to herself: Could this be a human trafficker?

I've heard of veteran mercenaries who traffic in people, but this is the first time I've seen one this young.

"So young and already learning bad things!" Little Fairy Doctor snorted inwardly, her jade hand quietly reaching for her medicine pouch.

He took a step back, and a handful of white powder suddenly sprayed out, quickly enveloping Xiao Yan.

The white powder enveloped Xiao Yan for several breaths before being slowly blown away by the gentle breeze.

On the ground, however, lay Xiao Yan, unconscious with his eyes closed.

Looking at Xiao Yan, who had fallen into a coma, Little Fairy Doctor patted the dust remaining on her palms and bit her red lips with her pearly teeth.

"I can't let you off so easily; I have to leave a mark on you."

As she spoke, Little Fairy Doctor took down a small shovel she used for gathering herbs and slowly squatted down.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. Xiao Yan, who should have fallen into a coma, suddenly opened his eyes.

"If you don't want to agree, fine, but you don't have to be so ruthless, do you think you're some kind of female bandit?"

Startled by the sudden turn of events, Little Fairy Doctor thrust her medicine shovel forward abruptly.

Xiao Yan sneered, snatched the medicine shovel, and suddenly swept it towards Little Fairy Doctor's slender waist.

The chilling sharpness made Little Fairy Doctor suddenly take a step back and sit down on the grass with a thud.

With a tearing sound, the white dress split open, revealing skin as white as mutton fat jade.

However, on this fair skin, a tiny, iridescent line was made particularly noticeable.

"Teacher, could this little girl be a Calamity Poison Body?" Xiao Yan asked Yao Lao with feigned surprise.

Although he did not go out to gain experience, Xiao Yan read many books and ancient scrolls.

Being able to identify the Calamity Poison Body would not arouse the suspicion of the old doctor.

The old apothecary looked down at the faint seven-colored hidden line, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"The little one has a good eye; this is indeed the Calamity Poison Body. This colored line grows according to the concentration of the poison it contains. This little girl hasn't activated it yet..."

Seeing the Calamity Poison Body in such a small place as the Gama Empire made Yao Lao slowly recall information about this terrifying physique.

Having narrowly escaped an attack, Little Fairy Doctor broke out in a cold sweat, clutching her skin with her delicate hands as she looked at Xiao Yan, who seemed completely unharmed, in astonishment.

"How come you're alright?!"

Xiao Yan pulled Little Fairy Doctor up from the grass and returned the medicine shovel to her.

"If I could be subdued by your little tricks, then I, as an alchemist, would be far too incompetent."

"Are you really an alchemist?" Seeing how serious Xiao Yan was, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but believe him a little.

Little Fairy Doctor stared at Xiao Yan intently, lost in thought.

The legendary alchemist, so noble and incomparable, seemed quite different from the handsome young man in black robes before him.

Xiao Yan twirled his fingers in his storage ring, preparing to refine the Blood-Coagulating Powder for Little Fairy Doctor to examine.

"Wait a minute." Yao Lao stopped Xiao Yan's movements.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

The old apothecary said in a deep voice, "It was fine with this little girl following you before, but not anymore. The Calamity Poison Body, this kind of constitution is really too dangerous."

"Since you were able to identify the Calamity Poison Body, you must know some information about it, right?"

Xiao Yan nodded slightly: "Cultivators of the Calamity Poison Body can transform the toxicity contained in poison into a very special kind of poisonous fighting qi in a strange way after consuming poison. The more potent the toxicity, the more beneficial it is to the cultivator's strength."

"However, the more poison one ingests, the more concentrated the toxins become in the body. Once the toxins accumulate to a certain point, they will completely erupt. When they erupt, all life within a thousand miles will be destroyed."

The old apothecary nodded emphatically: "That's roughly it. If her calamity-inducing poison body is activated in the future, once it erupts..."

"With the supply of poison, the cultivation speed of the Calamity Poison Body is extremely fast. As long as we find a way to curb its outbreak, we'll be fine. I believe that neither precious poisons nor methods to control the Calamity Poison Body should be difficult for you, Teacher." Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together.

"You little rascal, you really dare to dream!" Old Yao said with a wry smile.

Xiao Yan shrugged: "If Teacher is just a sixth-grade alchemist like Pill King Gu He, I naturally wouldn't dare to think too much. But Pill King Gu He is nothing but a fart in Teacher's eyes. This problem with the Calamity Poison Body should be a piece of cake."

Recalling his usual words, the old physician coughed lightly: "I do have a method to control the Calamity Poison Body. However, the items required for that method are all extremely rare."

"So there's a way, which shows that the Calamity Poison Body isn't incurable." Xiao Yan smiled. "As for the necessary materials, we can collect them slowly. We can't afford to miss out on someone who can grow so rapidly."

"You're gambling!" the old apothecary sighed helplessly.

Three kinds of strange fire, the demonic core of the seventh-order Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Pill, and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

It would be incredibly fortunate to be able to collect even one of the ingredients needed for the poison pill technique.

Xiao Yan chuckled and said, "Otherwise, how would I have ended up cultivating the Burning Flame Technique?"

"Whatever you want." The old apothecary had a thorough understanding of his adventurous disciple.

Looking intently at Little Fairy Doctor, the old doctor thought to himself, even if this little girl's poisonous body were to erupt, and she wanted to cause him any trouble, heh heh.
