Chapter 30: Two Solutions

Xiao Yixian's beautiful eyes widened a lot, she hurriedly wiped the tear at the corner of her eye and softly said: "Why did you come in?"

"I came in while you were unconscious," Lin Feng said with a gentle smile.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian's pretty face changed slightly, the black poison she held tightly slipped quietly back into the nest.

A moment later, as if recalling something, she hurriedly asked: "You didn't touch me, did you?"

Lin Feng teased: "If I were to take advantage of someone's danger, I already did it in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, and you now are at least two months pregnant."

"No, I'm not talking about that… I'm saying… you didn't come into contact with my body, right?"

Her pretty face flushed bright red, Xiao Yixian quickly waved her hand and whispered.

"Ha ha, don't worry."

Seeing Xiao Yixian's frantic, incoherent look, Lin Feng stopped teasing her.

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian finally breathed a sigh of relief, her slender jade legs curled up.

Her snow‑white chin rested on her knees, she said softly: "I'm fine, just had a problem while preparing the medicine."

"You activated the Calamity Poison Body; you'll need to be careful later, some factions like to collect beings with such strange constitutions."

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Yixian was first stunned, then her delicate body tensed, her pretty face stared at him ugly: "You… how did you know?"

"Look at this, and don't forget, I'm an alchemist, so I naturally know more than ordinary people."

He picked up the Seven‑Colored Poison Scripture on the table and shook it, Lin Feng immediately brought up his alchemist identity again.

It made it more reasonable when later mentioning other information about the Calamity Poison Body.

Hearing this, Xiao Yixian gave a mournful smile, bit her rosy lips, and said: "So you're scared of me too, huh?"

Looking at the girl who had become a bit insecure because of the Calamity Poison Body, Lin Feng stepped forward and gently wiped the tear on Xiao Yixian's delicate cheek with his hand.

With a warm smile at the corner of his mouth, he gently pulled her into his arms and softly said: "If you were scared, I already ran away earlier; you still don't know my thoughts, do you?"

It was her first time being embraced by a man; her delicate body stiffened instantly and she subconsciously began to struggle.

Lin Feng placed one hand on her back, the other around her alluring waist, slightly increasing his force, pressing the two of them tightly together.

With her head buried in Lin Feng's chest, feeling the masculine aura from him, Xiao Yixian's body softened involuntarily.

"Have you really thought this through? I'm the most despised poison master on the continent."

After a short while, Xiao Yixian's muffled voice came from Lin Feng's embrace.

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Lin Feng said: "Heh, I don't care about that; besides, the Calamity Poison Body can be controlled."

After a long silence, Xiao Yixian's voice sounded again: "Stop lying to me, the Seven‑Colored Poison Scripture says the Calamity Poison Body cannot be dealt with."

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head, saying: "Not necessarily; that senior may be stronger than me, but his knowledge of the Calamity Poison Body is not necessarily greater than mine."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yixian thought that perhaps Lin Feng, as an alchemist, had indeed seen it in some classic.

Hope flared instantly, she lifted her small head, looked at Lin Feng, and asked urgently: "What method?"

He soothed her emotions and replied: "As far as I know, there are two ways to solve the Calamity Poison Body: the Poison Pill Method and the Nether Poison Fire!"

Xiao Yixian, hearing this, carefully recalled everything she had learned in her mind.

After a long time, still not finding information on these two, she asked in doubt: "Poison Pill Method and Nether Poison Fire? What are those?"

"From what I know, the Poison Pill Method requires three things: first, three kinds of exotic fire; second, the demon core of a Seventh‑Tier Celestial Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast; third, Bodhi‑Transformed Saliva. This method is with an old fox; if possible, I'll try to get it for you. As for the second, that's just my own speculation."

After a pause, Lin Feng, not very sure, said: "I guess the essence of the Calamity Poison Body's eruption is that absorbing massive toxins makes the holder's internal poison increase too fast, causing the body's physical strength to grow far slower than the toxin level."

"And the twentieth‑ranked exotic fire, Nether Poison Fire, feeds on various toxins; if it can absorb your excess toxins, I think it could control the eruption of the Calamity Poison Body."

Listening, Xiao Yixian's previously hopeful expression turned even more disappointed.

Though she didn't know what exotic fire or Bodhi‑Transformed Saliva were, she knew the Seventh‑Tier Beast.

That beast is equivalent to a Dou Zong Level beast; the entire Jia Ma Empire probably has no one of that caliber.

For her, obtaining the demon core of a Seventh‑Tier Beast is harder than reaching the heavens!

Seeing Xiao Yixian's expression, Lin Feng stepped forward, patted her shoulder and said: "Don't worry, I'll help you, and for you, as long as the poison is enough, advancing to Dou Zong isn't very hard."

"You are a noble alchemist, and I, destined to be a universally despised poison master, am I worth your help?"

Lin Feng grasped Xiao Yixian's shoulders with both hands and solemnly said: "In my eyes, whether poison master or anyone else, power itself is not a sin; the guilty are only those who wield it!"

Hearing that, Xiao Yixian voluntarily rested her head in Lin Feng's arms; after a long while, a faint voice finally came: "Thank you."

Looking at the little beauty in his arms, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a hint of gratitude toward the Calamity Poison Body; if not for it, Xiao Yixian wouldn't have become insecure.

He really didn't develop to this point with Xiao Yixian that easily.

He tightened her delicate body, whispered: "Do we really need to say all this? Now, what you must do is raise your realm; after all, those things aren't easy to obtain."

Since Xiao Yixian activated the Calamity Poison Body, her Dou Qi level has been soaring; in just over two months she even surpassed Lin Feng, who was at the peak of Dou Zhe, and advanced to Dou Shi first.

It should be noted that Xiao Yixian only reached Dou Zhe shortly before Lin Feng fought Mu She, and now it's only about three months later.

At this speed, even ancient‑race people couldn't keep up.

And Lin Feng, who had been stuck at Dou Shi for over two months, watching this scene, turned red‑eyed with envy.

However, in those two months he also wasn't without gains; not long ago he and Xiao Yixian officially confirmed their relationship.

At dawn, in a cave in a valley, Lin Feng, under Xiao Yixian's gaze, took out the medicine cauldron.

Then he sequentially took the required herbs for alchemy from the storage ring and placed them beside him.

He slowly closed his eyes, reviewed the formula for the pill he was about to forge and the timing needed for alchemy.

He slowly opened his eyes and skillfully poured Dou Qi into the cauldron's fire mouth.

"Boom."

As a muffled sound echoed from the cauldron, fierce flames roared inside, turning the once cool cave into intense heat.
