Battle Through the Heavens: I can solidify the talents of all things

Outside Qingshan Town—

The dirt road gleamed with a golden-red hue in the setting sun.

Xiao Qing followed behind Little Fairy Doctor. The little girl's steps quickened as they approached familiar surroundings, but she still looked back from time to time to make sure that the silent and powerful older brother hadn't gotten lost.

The closer you get to the town, the more pedestrians there are, mostly fierce-looking mercenaries who have tasted blood. The air is filled with the smell of sweat, dust, and rough laughter and curses.

In a roadside tea stall, a loud-voiced, bald man was slamming his fist on the table, boasting to his companion about how he used to fight a second-tier magical beast with his bare hands.

However, when his gaze inadvertently fell on Xiao Qing, who was walking slowly towards him, the red glow on his face instantly faded, turning deathly pale, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight!

"It's...it's that jinx! Quick...get out of here!"

He seemed to be choked, his voice abruptly stopped, and he sprang up from the stool. Ignoring his bewildered companion, he scrambled into the narrow alleyway beside him and fled in panic.

He clearly recognized Xiao Qing, and perhaps had a close relationship with those mercenaries who were instantly reduced to ashes by the pale white flames.

This abrupt action immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding mercenaries.

As all eyes focused on Xiao Qing, suppressed gasps and whispers spread like ripples.

"It's him! The mysterious young man who wiped out Scarface Tiger and his gang in the blink of an eye a few months ago outside town!"

"How old do they look? They already have such abilities?"

"Shut up! Do you want to die? Didn't you see how scared you are of the 'vulture'?"

Some of the mercenaries who knew the inside story had expressions of awe and fear on their faces.

They instinctively stepped back, making way for a wide path, not daring to meet those calm, expressionless eyes.

But some mercenaries who had been bullied by Scarface Tiger showed a hint of satisfaction in their eyes.

"Well done! That bastard Scarface Tiger deserved to die!"

"This young master really avenged us!"

Xiao Qing ignored the surrounding discussions, as if walking in a deserted place.

All the noise and commotion fell upon him without causing the slightest ripple.

Everyone's attention was completely drawn to him, so much so that the inconspicuous Little Fairy Doctor in front of him, carrying a small medicine basket and as inconspicuous as dust, was completely ignored.

Upon entering Qingshan Town, the narrow streets are lined with low and cluttered houses.

Little Fairy Doctor skillfully led Xiao Qing through the maze-like alleys, finally stopping in front of a dilapidated courtyard that had almost been forgotten by wind, rain, and time.

The crooked wooden door and the mottled earthen wall both spoke volumes about the owner's predicament.

"Mother! Xian'er is back!"

Little Fairy Doctor pushed open the creaking wooden door, put down the light medicine basket on her back, her voice filled with the joy of returning home, yet also concealing a hint of barely perceptible unease.

Inside the courtyard, a woman with an eerie bluish-black complexion and emaciated appearance slumped on a dilapidated recliner, her eyes unfocused and her breath faint.

She saw the unfamiliar young man behind her daughter, her unfocused gaze managing a flicker of wariness, and with a weak, feeble effort, she asked, "Xian'er... who is this young man?"

"Hey?! Kid Xiao, look closer!"

"This woman is not a person with the Calamity Poison Body, but what resides within her is the unique primordial poison of the Calamity Poison Body!"

"Moreover, the poison has penetrated deep into her bone marrow, almost intertwined with the very essence of her life!"

The old doctor's surprised and uncertain voice exploded in Xiao Qing's mind, carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

"It's absolutely impossible for an ordinary mortal to survive this long after being poisoned with such a deadly toxin! Unless..."

The old apothecary paused, as if sorting through ancient knowledge, before finally saying in a deep voice, "There are only two possibilities!"

"Firstly, a mysterious entity forcibly intervened, implanting a trace of the original poison of the Calamity Poison Body into her body!"

"Secondly, and more likely... she once gave birth to a congenitally afflicted poisonous body!"

"The mother and fetus are connected by blood. During pregnancy, the mother is unconsciously eroded by the primal poison emitted by the unborn child, which is why the poison is so deeply rooted and intertwined with her life!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qing's gaze instantly sharpened, and his soul power carefully swept over the woman Gu Ting's body.

Sure enough, the toxicity was not simply present in the blood or organs, but rather, like a maggot clinging to a bone, it strangely achieved a cruel balance with her fragile life force, which was by no means an ordinary poisoning phenomenon.

She has survived until now thanks to an amazing will, but she is on the verge of collapse.

"The Calamity Poison Body?"

Xiao Qing made a sound of "doubt".

After a while, Yao Lao's voice slowly rose again: "On the Dou Qi Continent, there is a physique that is different from ordinary people and extremely special. It has two well-known names: 'Innate Poison Physique' and 'Calamity Poison Physique'!"

"The most famous of these is the 'Calamity Poison Body'! This name comes from the fact that its appearance almost always brings disaster and calamity!"

"The so-called Calamity Poison Body doesn't improve its strength through normal cultivation, but rather... through ingesting poison!"

"If a person with this strange constitution accidentally ingests poison, not only will they not die from the poison, but their strength will also increase rapidly, just like an ordinary person who cultivates diligently! The speed of the increase in strength depends entirely on the potency and quantity of the poison ingested."

"However, what appears to be a shortcut to the strong is in fact a cursed path of misfortune."

"As more and more poison is ingested, the toxins in the body will continue to accumulate, and one day, they will completely overwhelm the mind, turning the person into a monster who only knows how to kill and is covered in poison."

"Ultimately, they often die in endless pain and madness, their bodies exploding into a poisonous mist that could turn an area of ​​a thousand miles into a lifeless wasteland!"

"That is why the appearance of the Calamity Poison Body is like a natural disaster, and everyone is terrified of it."

"Once discovered, they will almost always be besieged by various forces, and the threat will be nipped in the bud before they have fully grown."

The old physician's voice carried a barely perceptible sigh: "This constitution is a gift, but also the most vicious curse. It grants a person power, yet strips them of their right to be 'human,' ultimately leading to destruction! I never imagined..."

"I have actually come here to see with my own eyes a child born with a congenital affliction of poison, and such a young child at that..."

"Nurturing... a congenitally afflicted poisonous body... which means..."

Xiao Qing responded in his heart, stating his "deduction," and his gaze involuntarily fell on the innocent and clear-eyed Little Fairy Doctor beside him.

The answer seems to be obvious.

"The Calamity Poison Body... has reappeared in the world..."

The old doctor's voice carried a complex mix of emotions, as if it had stirred up some distant memories.

Just as the master and disciple were secretly exchanging ideas.

Faced with her mother's questioning, Little Fairy Doctor nervously twisted the hem of her tattered clothes, her eyes darting away, and her voice barely audible: "Mother, Fairy Doctor... when Fairy Doctor was gathering herbs just now, she accidentally encountered a magical beast. It was... it was this big brother who saved Fairy Doctor."

"You silly child! Didn't I tell you not to go to such dangerous places again?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ting's withered face showed urgency and fear. She struggled to get up, but this triggered a heart-wrenching cough, making her already bluish complexion look even more deathly.

"Mother, don't move! Xian'er is alright, really alright!" Little Fairy Doctor rushed forward and supported her mother with her small body.

Once Gu Ting's breathing had calmed down, when she looked at Xiao Qing again, the wariness in her eyes was replaced by an overwhelming gratitude.

She forced a weak smile, her voice barely audible: "Thank you... thank you so much for saving my life... Gu Ting has no way to repay you..."

"Madam, there's no need for such formality. It was simply a chance encounter."

Xiao Qing's voice remained calm, but looking at the mother and daughter who depended on each other for survival, and especially when he thought of the cruel truth, he had made a decision in his heart.

……

Three days later—

Xiao Qing took the fragments of the map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame from the cave in the Monster Mountain Range.

Shortly afterward, the figure quietly left Qingshan Town and embarked on the long journey to the Tagor Desert.

During these three days, the old alchemist relied on his profound knowledge of alchemy and his spiritual perception, as well as the help of his old friends...

Finally, it was confirmed that Little Fairy Doctor was indeed that one in ten thousand, destined to suffer a life of hardship due to her innate poisonous body!

Even the old doctor couldn't help but marvel at the strangeness of fate once again, as this constitution, full of misfortune and curses, had quietly manifested itself here.

Her mother, Gu Ting, was a pitiful mother whose body was eroded by toxins during her pregnancy.

Looking at the bewildered little girl, the old doctor let out a long sigh, a mixture of astonishment at the reappearance of this unparalleled physique and deep pity for her future fate.

During these three days, Xiao Qing used his pure battle qi, combined with the high-grade detoxifying pills he carried, to dispel the accumulated poison of the Calamity Poison Body in Gu Ting's body.

And with its life-strengthening and nourishing elixir, it replenished her vital energy that had been depleted by toxins over the years.

He stored this primordial poison in a jade bottle, intending to use it as cultivation material for the Little Fairy Doctor when she begins her cultivation in the future.

I believe that this poison, which originates from her very essence, will play a crucial role in her life!

Although Gu Ting has not yet fully recovered her health, at least her life is not in danger, and her complexion has returned to a normal rosy color. She just needs to take good care of herself in the future.

Little Fairy Doctor saw that the "strange illness" that had tormented her mother for countless days and nights had finally subsided!

When her mother's face regained its long-lost rosy glow, and her breathing became steady and strong, she suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms. The fear, grievances, and ecstasy that had been building up for so long turned into a torrent of tears.

She hugged her mother's neck tightly, her small body trembling with excitement.

Gu Ting gently stroked her daughter's hair, feeling a long-lost sense of relaxation within her body. Her gaze towards Xiao Qing was filled with gratitude and awe, almost as if she were looking at a deity.

Little Fairy Doctor was also filled with gratitude and dependence on Xiao Qing.

For Xiao Qing, the amount of medicine he used to treat Gu Ting was just a drop in the ocean.

But it could save a life and end a tragedy.

This act is both an expression of compassion for the mother and daughter who are suffering.

This can be considered an early investment in a future powerful individual with unlimited potential and a cauldron-poisonous physique.

He knew very well that if he could guide her properly, the Little Fairy Doctor, who was burdened with the Calamity Poison Body, would surely achieve something that would shock the entire continent!

At the very least, he's at the Dou Sheng level!

With his involvement and guidance, she will reach that level much sooner than her original destiny would have had!

And he might be able to change the unnecessary suffering in her predetermined fate.

This trip was definitely worthwhile!
