Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 90 Heavenly Poison Water

The Nine-Colored Poison Scripture is a poison-making manual improved upon the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture. Given sufficient materials, it is possible to create poisons that could threaten even a Dou Zun level expert.

Xiao Yan had acquired information on rare and precious medicinal herbs beyond what ordinary people knew from the materials given to him by Yao Lao, and had already accumulated a sufficiently profound foundation.

Having now systematically studied the "Seven-Colored Poison Scripture," and with his extraordinary comprehension, he naturally gains insight into subtle matters. In terms of poison-making techniques alone, he is unparalleled in the world.

Xiao Yan raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He had been thinking about hundreds of poison prescriptions at once, and even he felt a little tired.

"How is Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation going?" Xiao Yan looked up at Little Fairy Doctor on the bed.

Beneath the bright moonstone, Little Fairy Doctor's pretty figure still shimmered with a seven-colored halo, and the "Three Paths Poison Scripture" technique continued to operate, constantly absorbing the medicinal power of the poison within her body.

Little Fairy Doctor's constitution is that of a calamity-inducing poison body, and she also cultivates the unprecedented and extraordinary technique of the "Three Paths Poison Scripture".

When the two are combined, the poison's potency is transformed into seven-colored battle qi within Little Fairy Doctor's body.

Because of the accumulation of this special fighting spirit within her body, the fighting spirit vortex also displays a seven-colored hue, making it completely different from ordinary fighters.

Xiao Yan's powerful soul force enveloped Little Fairy Doctor, and he nodded slightly: "The Calamity Poison Body is indeed extraordinary. In such a short time, Little Fairy Doctor has already advanced to the level of a two-star Dou Zhe."

"I need to prepare some more powerful poisons for her as soon as possible, so that Little Fairy Doctor can maintain her normal cultivation speed and still have the spare energy to help me condense the Netherworld Poison Fire." Xiao Yan slowly walked out of the house and came to an open space outside the room.

If an ordinary person heard Xiao Yan's soft murmur, they would definitely curse him for being heartless and crazy, actually feeding poison to such an ethereal girl as Little Fairy Doctor.

But Little Fairy Doctor's Calamity Poison Body is so wicked; what others would avoid at all costs is actually a tonic to enhance her cultivation.

"You're out so soon? Your head must be hurting, right?" Yao Lao, who was sitting on a boulder, said with a smile as he saw Xiao Yan go out for some fresh air.

Alchemists learn the orthodox methods, and it's difficult to master all the prescriptions of their predecessors, let alone make poisons.

That would be a complete reversal of what was learned, and its difficulty would be almost equivalent to someone who had achieved success in cultivation wanting to switch to the Burning Technique, which would require them to abandon their cultivation.

If Xiao Yan had focused on learning how to make poisons from a young age, with his talent, he might have achieved quite a lot by now. But now that he has learned so much about alchemy, it's difficult!

Xiao Yan took a few deep breaths of the fresh mountain air and smiled slightly, "I've thought of some poison prescriptions and I'm going to try them out."

Xiao Yan tapped his fingers on his storage ring and took out his medicine cauldron for refining medicine, along with many medicinal herbs and a magic core from a second-tier poison-attribute magical beast.

Seeing Xiao Yan's attitude of going all out, Yao Lao's eyes became focused: "This doesn't seem like he's just trying it out casually."

Xiao Yan carefully sorted through the medicinal herbs: "You've seen how Little Fairy Doctor is absorbing poison right now; most poisons can only help her cultivate at most."

The sky was dotted with stars, a cool breeze gently caressed the earth, and soft, white moonlight poured down, as if shrouding the valley in a thin veil.

After a moment, Xiao Yan focused his attention on the ancient, dark-black cauldron in front of him, flicked his finger to extend a wisp of black and white flame, and began to nourish the cauldron.

This medicine cauldron is no longer the second-tier dark red medicine cauldron that Xiao Yan initially used, but a fourth-tier medicine cauldron of extraordinary quality.

In the world of alchemy, a good cauldron is of great help to alchemists, significantly increasing the success rate when refining pills.

Some low-quality cauldrons are not able to withstand high temperatures, which may cause them to suddenly explode during the alchemy process.

Therefore, medicine cauldrons also have a rather detailed classification system, from the first to the eighth rank, from low to high, and above the eighth rank are the items on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking.

After the cauldron was warmed up, Xiao Yan methodically added medicinal herbs into it.

There is a big difference between refining poisons and refining elixirs.

Pills are beneficial to people, such as healing injuries and enhancing cultivation. Except for a few pills that are in liquid or paste form, most pills are the size of longan fruits, and they are exquisite in appearance, exuding a medicinal fragrance that is extremely tempting.

However, poisons are mostly used for sneak attacks, so they are mostly in the form of powder or liquid, and the most potent ones are even colorless and odorless.

Xiao Yan's research on poisons, based on the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, ultimately resulted in most of them being in the form of powder or liquid.

Therefore, this method of alchemy is significantly different from orthodox alchemy.

Watching Xiao Yan's alchemy process, Yao Lao nodded slightly: "After all, it is a strange fire that he condensed himself. Even though it has grown now, Xiao Yan wields it as easily as if it were his own arm."

"It's just..." The old apothecary glanced at the pitch-black medicine cauldron, "It's just that this medicine cauldron is a bit lacking, only at the fourth level."

The old doctor sighed and shook his head: "However, there's nothing we can do about it. Even though Xiao Yan doesn't just sell Blood Clotting Powder and Foundation Establishment Elixir, he occasionally refines some fourth-grade pills like Qi Gathering Powder for Ya Fei to auction off, earning a lot of gold coins, but Xiao Yan's overall consumption is too great."

Consider the materials used to enhance the power of the strange fire, and the beast fire that Xiao Yan often devours; these things are not something everyone in the Central Continent can afford.

In this remote Jia Ma Empire, to be able to earn these things and still have extra money to upgrade the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan is already extremely capable.

The reason why the old doctor sighed was that the Jia Ma Empire was really remote and resource-scarce. Even if Xiao Yan were twice as rich, it would still take him more than three to five months to find a good medicine cauldron.

After a short while, Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he slammed his palms together. The colorful medicinal liquid inside the cauldron, under the burning of the black and white flames, fused together into one at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at the liquid that resembled plain water, Yao Lao flapped his wings and flew onto Xiao Yan's shoulder: "This is the poison you concocted? It looks quite ordinary."

Xiao Yan poured all the venom into the jade bottle and carefully sealed it with the jade stopper.

"Generally speaking, no one would intentionally ingest poison. If it were made into a seven-colored broth, people would immediately perceive it as toxic, rendering the poison useless."

"My Heavenly Poison Water is colorless and odorless. Moreover, because it is made with rare medicinal materials such as the magic core of a second-tier Azure Phosphorous Python and a hundred-year-old Thunder God Vine, its toxicity is extremely potent. A single drop can cause a Dou Ling expert to explode and die."

Xiao Yan solemnly explained the potency of this poison; such a small bottle had consumed a considerable portion of his collection.

"So strange?" Yao Lao didn't believe it. A Dou Ling level person was already quite strong. If it was just that one bottle, then maybe it would be more accurate.
