Chapter 461: The Nether Poison Fire Stripped Away

Xiao Yixian, eliminate all the poison gas inside you.

Staring at the stunning woman before him in white robes and black hair, Lin Feng's words halted midway.

At the same time, his complexion turned extremely bewildered.

If his eyes weren't playing tricks, Xiao Yixian's hair now…

…has already shifted from its previous silver back to its original black.

"In the original work, after Xiao Yixian formed the Poison Pill, her hair never turned back black!"

Gazing at the dark strands draped over her graceful shoulders, Lin Feng thought in puzzlement.

"Hehe, what? Don't recognize me?"

Seeing Lin Feng's dumbfounded expression, Xiao Yixian pursed her lips in a smile and teased.

Obviously, because the Calamity Poison Body had been resolved.

Her mood at this moment had improved considerably.

And Lin Feng only snapped back to his senses after hearing her teasing.

Then, pointing at the waterfall‑like dark hair behind Xiao Yixian, he asked, "Xiao Yixian, why has your hair turned black again?"

"Oh, you mean the hair."

Seeing his curiosity about her hair's change, Xiao Yixian promptly explained, "My hair turned silver before because the primordial toxin of the Calamity Poison Body was at work."

"Now those toxins have been gulped up by the Poison Pill inside me. Without the influence of the primordial toxin, my hair naturally reverted to its normal color."

As she spoke, she lightly brushed the black long hair hanging beside her.

"I see!"

Hearing his explanation, Lin Feng instantly grasped the reason.

In the original work, after Xiao Yixian formed the Poison Pill, her hair did not revert from silver to black.

That was because the method in the original story used a Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast demon core, which was merely a seventh‑grade demon core of roughly eight‑star Dou Sect level.

Such a grade of demon core cannot absorb all the toxins inside Xiao Yixian.

Therefore, in the original, her hair never returned to its original black.

Until the end, Yao Lao gave her the location of the founder's tomb of the Poison Pill method.

Inside the tomb, Xiao Yixian, after receiving the founder's inheritance of the Poison Pill technique, finally managed to fully control the toxins within her.

But now the situation is completely different.

The demon core Lin Feng uses was taken from a Five‑star Dou Zun‑level Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast.

Thus, when Xiao Yixian formed the Poison Pill, that demon core sucked all the toxins from her body.

And as the toxins in her body were fully controlled, the influence of the Calamity Poison Body's primordial toxin caused her hair to turn silver.

Naturally, it successfully restored to its original state.

"By the way, Xiao Yixian, I have been observing the upward trend of your Dou Qi rank; you should be able to advance to Six‑star Dou Zun. Why has your strength suddenly stalled at the pinnacle of Five‑star Dou Zun?"

At this moment, the Heavenly Fire Venerable also stepped forward with a puzzled question.

"Yao Lao, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot."

Hearing his words, Xiao Yixian let out a light laugh.

Then, with a swift hand movement,

a dark‑green raging flame, unlike before, instantly erupted on her pale palm.

Both Lin Feng and the Heavenly Fire Venerable are seasoned fire manipulators.

Thus, upon seeing the Nether Poison Fire at that moment, they immediately discerned its peculiarity.

Then, simultaneously, they exclaimed in surprise, "Nether Poison Fire—how did it become ownerless?"

Afterward, Lin Feng seemed to recall something and said, "Xiao Yixian, you wouldn't have forcibly—"

"Exactly, I forcibly stripped it out."

Xiao Yixian stared at the dark‑green flame on her palm, still obeying her.

She spoke slowly, "When I was forming the Poison Pill, I saw all my Dou Qi converge into that Pill, leaving my body with not a trace of Dou Qi. I seized that chance to forcibly strip it out."

"Normally, a cultivator's absorbed exotic fire has long merged with their internal Dou Qi. Forcibly separating the exotic fire would inevitably drag a great deal of the owner's Dou Qi out as well, causing severe injury, a drop in Dou Qi rank, and even damage to the foundation."

"Since all my Dou Qi was inside the Poison Pill at that moment and hadn't refluxed back, I could forcibly pull the Nether Poison Fire's flame seed out without harming myself."

Speaking so, Xiao Yixian seemed to be seeking credit.

She placed the exotic fire before Lin Feng, lightly parting her lips, "Now plant your soul imprint onto its primordial flame seed. Then you won't fear the lethal toxin emanating from the Nether Poison Fire. After you spend time getting familiar with it, when you later devour it, the toxin inside won't affect you."

"You, doing such a dangerous thing—do it less in the future. If you get hurt while stripping the exotic fire, I'd be guilty for life. Moreover, your failure to advance to Six‑star Dou Zun this time is surely because forcibly stripping the Nether Poison Fire pulled out a lot of Dou Qi, causing this outcome."

Hearing his explanation, Lin Feng extended his palm, stroking the smooth dark hair atop her head, and scolded.

Although he needs the exotic fire, he cares more about Xiao Yixian's safety than absorbing another Nether Poison Fire.

"Hehe, it's already been stripped out; saying anything now is too late. While the Nether Poison Fire still bears my aura and can be controlled, hurry and plant the soul imprint."

Xiao Yixian lightly flicked her fragrant tongue, then, releasing the Nether Poison Fire's guard, revealed her own primordial flame seed.

Seeing this, Lin Feng said no more.

Soul power surged from his forehead, shooting straight at the Nether Poison Fire.

After all, as Xiao Yixian said, the exotic fire has already been stripped out.

If he doesn't quickly embed the soul imprint, Xiao Yixian doesn't know how long she can control this Nether Poison Fire.

"Boom!"

When Lin Feng's soul power touched the Nether Poison Fire, it subconsciously rebelled.

"Quiet!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yixian let out a delicate shout and ordered.

Heh heh~

Under the former's command, that Nether Poison Fire gradually lowered its defenses.

Lin Feng's soul power surged in an instant, like a stream of fish, planting a seal on its primal flame.

As the seal formed, the Nether Poison Fire became obedient to Lin Feng's control.

Come.

After planting the soul seal, Lin Feng commanded it.

Whoosh~

The Nether Poison Fire, after a brief hesitation, immediately obeyed the former's command and rose onto his palm.
