Chapter 29: Chapter Twenty-Nine: Calamity Poison Body Activation

In an isolated small valley, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian lived a peaceful life here for half a month.

During this period, with Lin Feng taking the initiative, his relationship with Xiao Yixian has become much more intimate.

However, breaking through to Battle Master is more difficult than Lin Feng imagined, during this period of training in the valley.

Although the Battle Qi inside his body has become more mighty and condensed, the feeling of breakthrough still hasn't arrived.

Faced with this situation, Lin Feng is also helpless; while continuing to train, he also uses what he obtained from Yao Lao's space ring, as well as the medicinal herbs in the valley, to improve his alchemy skills.

Whenever Lin Feng does alchemy, the most enthusiastic one is Xiao Yixian.

As long as Lin Feng does alchemy, she will definitely be present.

However, Xiao Yixian hasn't been freeloading; Lin Feng's meals these days, as well as his old clothes, are all handled by her.

At night, Lin Feng stopped meditating and slowly walked to the outside of the thatched hut.

He happened to meet Xiao Yixian returning from gathering herbs, carrying a flower basket.

At this time, her head was bound with a light green cloth, resembling a beautiful village girl.

"Are you hungry? I'll go make food now."

Seeing Lin Feng, Xiao Yixian tilted her head and gave him a playful smile.

Then she squatted down, rolled up her sleeves, lit a fire under the stone stove, and orderly laid out all the items needed for cooking.

Sitting on a nearby stone, Lin Feng watched Xiao Yixian, who, while busy, lightly hummed a tune with her cute nose, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

However, thinking of the Calamity Poison Body, his smile suddenly vanished, his brows slightly furrowed, and he murmured softly: "I don't know if that thing can suppress the Calamity Poison Body, but finding it is also not easy..."

"Here, eat."

Just as Lin Feng was lost in thought, a jade arm holding a wooden bowl suddenly appeared before his eyes, and immediately a gentle female voice came from beside his ear.

"Er... okay."

Gazing at the lovely person before him, Lin Feng took the meat soup and began to gulp it down in big mouthfuls.

"Heehee."

Because of her constitution, Xiao Yixian's heart has become somewhat sensitive at this moment.

Seeing Lin Feng, who is completely defenseless toward her, a hint of warmth flashed in her eyes.

At this moment, he actually hopes that such a life can continue forever.

But thinking of the content of the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, his eyes dimmed involuntarily.

Perhaps she does not deserve to have such a life.

After all, he is a respected alchemist, while I am...

After a long while, suddenly thinking that these days Lin Feng has been eager to break through to Battle Master, she turned her head toward him and curiously asked: "Lin Feng, what is your purpose in becoming stronger?"

"Huh?"

Wiping his mouth, Lin Feng put down the empty bowl in his hand, looked at Xiao Yixian with some confusion, not expecting her to ask such a question.

Immediately, he also turned his head somewhat bewildered toward the fire before him, watching the wood crackle in the flames.

After transmigrating, he only wanted to use his advantages to find some treasures, then buy a mansion in a suitable place, marry a few wives and concubines, and live better.

But later, after being forced by Xiao Yan to sell his sucking palm, he became even more eager for power.

After pondering for a moment, he gave a wry smile: "I don't know either... maybe it's just to avoid being bullied."

She gave him a white eye and said angrily: "Ever since I first met you, you've been shouting about fighting and killing; with that temperament, who would dare bully you?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he said somewhat speechlessly: "Why do you keep bringing that up?"

Next, Lin Feng recalled the incident in Wutan City, sighed lightly, and said: "More than a year ago, I stumbled upon a volume of Mysterious Rank battle skill, but it was discovered by the young patriarch of another family; after he threatened me, I had no choice but to agree to his plan and sell it to him for a hundred gold coins."

"That person is too hateful, actually forcibly buying a Mysterious Tier battle skill for a hundred gold coins!"

She slightly turned her head, looking at Lin Feng whose mood had become somewhat low, and didn't expect he had such an experience.

"So I must become stronger to take revenge; as for now, let's just sleep; tomorrow I will try to refine a Second-grade Return Qi Pill, remember to come watch."

Having glanced at the moon's position and realized it was already late, he walked into the thatched hut to rest.

"Becoming stronger, so I won't be bullied..."

Recalling the content of the Seven-Colored Poison Classic, Xiao Yixian murmured softly.

"Xiao Yixian, I'm about to do alchemy, won't you come watch?"

The next morning, Lin Feng walked out of the thatched hut, saw that Xiao Yixian's room was still tightly closed, felt a bit strange, since she was usually very proactive, so he shouted at the thatched hut.

After a moment, seeing Xiao Yixian still not responding, Lin Feng suddenly lifted his head: "Could it be..."

He took a few steps to the side, picked up a piece of firewood, pried open the wooden door of Xiao Yixian's thatched hut, and immediately a large amount of gray smoke floated out from inside.

Even though they were several meters apart, Lin Feng still felt somewhat uncomfortable and hurriedly stepped back a few steps.

Looking at the pit corroded by the poison mist at the front end of the firewood in his hand, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

"This Calamity Poison Body, it's not a fake!"

After the smoke inside the house had completely dissipated, Lin Feng took a detox pill and then entered.

His gaze swept over the interior; he saw only that on the bed, Xiao Yixian was tightly closing her eyes.

Her originally rosy pretty face now also showed a strange seven-colored hue.

"As expected, it's been activated..."

He picked up the Seven-Colored Scroll from the ground, his gaze skipping over the preceding poison formulas, and came to the final passage.

"Calamity Poison Body, a strange poisonous body that can rapidly increase strength by swallowing poison; the way to identify a Calamity Poison Body is that at the lower abdomen there grows a fine seven-colored hidden line; the seven-colored lines will grow as the poison concentration in the body increases, and when the seven-colored lines extend to the heart's position, it is the peak of the Calamity Poison Body, at which time one will also suffer the pain of myriad toxins devouring the body."

After reading, he placed the scroll on the small table in the middle of the house, then immediately sat on the wooden bench beside it, watching and waiting for Xiao Yixian to awaken.

As time passed, the seven-colored hue on Xiao Yixian's cheeks was gradually fading.

After a while, Xiao Yixian, who had tightly closed her eyes on the bed, finally slowly opened them.

Her jade hand moved slightly, her eyes glanced at the black poison, and the corner of her mouth gradually showed a hint of bitterness.

After a moment, the bitterness gradually spread; Xiao Yixian suddenly pulled the blanket over her face, and a somewhat sobbing, intermittent voice came from under the blanket.

"I couldn't hold back again... I really deserve to die."

Sitting in the chair, listening to that weak, soft sobbing sound, Lin Feng's mood also grew somewhat heavy.

He both hoped Xiao Yixian would activate her physique, so that, relying on their relationship, in a few years he would have a powerful background.

But he also didn't want to see Xiao Yixian's expression at this moment; perhaps this is what it means to have one's cake and eat it too.

He slowly rose to his feet, sat at the edge of the bed, and gently patted Xiao Yixian's body wrapped in the blanket.

Feeling someone touch her, the blanket was flung open, and she looked at the boy sitting at the bedside.
