Chapter 83: Yi Huang Takes a Disciple

"Yes," Yi Huang said firmly, "do it!" She did not seek Xian'er's opinion; if this child were to feel dissatisfied in the future because of the seal, then let her hold a grudge against her.

"Hey, Huang'er, I say, you don't need to be so nervous, right?" But at this moment, Xiao Han suddenly smiled strangely.

"Hmm, what is it?" Yi Huang was initially a bit puzzled, but what followed was surprise, "Could it be that you have a way to solve Xian'er's physical problem?"

"No." Xiao Han shook his head.

"Then what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Yi Huang immediately became dissatisfied; without solving Xian'er's Woeful Poison Body, everything was a futile effort.

"Huang'er, isn't Xian'er still young?" Xiao Han comforted her, "Her strength is still weak right now, and we are fully capable of suppressing the eruption of her poison body."

"As for future matters, we can fully utilize the intelligence network of Langya Pavilion to slowly search for a method to condense a Poison Pill. Moreover..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Han's expression was somewhat smug, "My current Cold Ice Seal can completely suppress her poison body's eruption temporarily, allowing her to continue using the method of consuming poison to cultivate; at the very least, there will be no problems before she enters the Dou Zun realm."

Subsequently, Xiao Han specifically winked, "My lady, what do you think?"

Hearing Xiao Han's words, Yi Huang was immediately tempted; if it were truly possible to suppress the Woeful Poison Body issue without affecting her cultivation, she naturally would not want to use the final resort.

"And, you forgot, there is also the Nether Poison Fire!" Right beside her, Xiao Han's faint voice shattered Yi Huang's final psychological defense.

The Nether Poison Fire, a flame existing within the Ancient Nether Poison Swamp. After being steeped for ten million years in the sky-covering poisonous miasma of the swamp, the flame consumed endless poisonous miasma; it gains sentience in a hundred years and takes form in a thousand. When fully matured, its color leans toward green, moving through the swamp's miasma like a ghost fire.

Because the flame itself is nurtured into sentience by poisonous miasma and contains deadly poison, one will be afflicted with deadly poison upon touching even a spark, so it is almost impossible to swallow and fuse with!

However, there is one exception to this—the Woeful Poison Body.

No matter from which aspect one looks at it, the Woeful Poison Body, which requires deadly poison to assist in cultivation, is absolutely the most suitable constitution for the Nether Poison Fire.

One man's arsenic is another man's honey.

The deadly poison carried by the Nether Poison Fire is truly a great tonic for the Woeful Poison Body, accelerating the latter's cultivation speed with ease, and is in no way inferior to the Fallen Heart Flame, which is known as a "cultivation cheat device."

Moreover, to a certain extent, the Nether Poison Fire can even temporarily replace the function of a Poison Pill, suppressing and slowing down the eruption of the Woeful Poison Body.

Of course, most importantly, the location of the Nether Poison Fire has long been in the hands of Langya Pavilion, but due to its own attributes, it is a deadly thing for ordinary experts and has no value for swallowing and refining.

Therefore, Langya Pavilion naturally did not spend a huge price to go and capture it.

But now, clearly, the times have changed!

Yi Huang's expression changed, and she sternly questioned Xiao Han: "So, were you playing with me just now?"

She felt a bit embarrassed; concern leads to chaos. In her haste, she had not thought of the existence of the Nether Poison Fire, even though she was the one who first received the news back then.

This bad guy actually dared not to remind her; it seems he wants to sleep on the floor again.

That unkind tone made Xiao Han's whole body tighten; oh no, this is a death trap!

Immediately, Xiao Han said with a trembling tone: "Then... then I wonder what advice my lady has?"

"Very good," Yi Huang smiled and patted Xiao Han's cheek, leaning in close to say: "Then I shall punish you to personally take action and bring the Nether Poison Fire back!"

The warm breath exhaled from Yi Huang's mouth burned Xiao Han's earlobe, instantly making him shudder, and he said with boiling blood: "Huang'er, don't worry, it's just a mere Nether Poison Fire; your husband will definitely bring it back for you."

In fact, even if Yi Huang had not said so, Xiao Han intended to take action himself. Although the Nether Poison Fire is only ranked twentieth on the Exotic Fire Ranking, this does not mean that the difficulty of obtaining it is low.

At the very least, its prestige is much greater than a certain Exotic Fire ahead of it that was successfully subdued and refined by a Dou Shi!

To survive safely and for a long time in the endless poison swamp, it is impossible without the cultivation of a Peak Dou Zong or even a Dou Zun.

This is only the basic condition; Langya Pavilion only grasped the general location of the Nether Poison Fire, but it is not a dead object; it is constantly moving.

To successfully capture it, one must use sufficient manpower to cast a net for reconnaissance or be lucky enough to just happen upon it.

And the former is simply grand in scale, time-consuming, laborious, and thankless. As for the latter, creatures like "lucky winners" who deserve to be struck by lightning do not seem to exist in Langya Pavilion.

Besides this, one can only rely on powerful strength to track the Nether Poison Fire, and this is a piece of cake for the current Xiao Han.

However, anyone else from Langya Pavilion would be unable to do it. Therefore, after thinking it over, Xiao Han is naturally the most suitable candidate.

Regarding this, Yi Huang is naturally very clear; calling it a punishment is just giving Xiao Han a chance to show his attitude.

Revealing a satisfied smile, Yi Huang said gently to Xian'er: "Xian'er, are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Take you as master?" Xian'er said with some confusion.

"Yes, take me as your master," Yi Huang affirmed again, "By being my disciple, you can learn many things, for example, cultivation, medical skills, alchemy..."

Yi Huang began to list all the skills she had mastered one by one, but as Yi Huang gave examples, Xiao Han's mouth twitched.

"Cultivation and medical skills are fine, but you actually said to let a Woeful Poison Body, and an easily uncontrollable Woeful Poison Body at that, learn alchemy!

Whether this produces a life-saving pill or a death-warrant talisman is hard to say!" Xiao Han slandered in his heart. He could already imagine the scene of Xian'er dragging people around to test poison in the future.

"How about, let that brat sacrifice himself a little?" Xiao Han was extremely satisfied with this stroke of genius.

Of course, if Xiao Han dared to say these words to her face, he might have to pass away on the spot.

Just in the short moment Xiao Han was distracted, Yi Huang and Xian'er had already quickly completed the apprenticeship process; it can be said that Xiao Han had never been this concise when taking Xiao Wu as a disciple.

"Husband, the matter of the Nether Poison Fire is left to you then!" Having received a cute little disciple, Yi Huang was obviously much more excited, and even her address to Xiao Han became much gentler.

"Wait a moment," Xiao Han called out to Yi Huang, who was about to pull Xian'er away. Seeing her puzzled gaze, Xiao Han felt somewhat helpless; how could this girl be so muddled!

"Did you forget about the seal?" For some reason, Xiao Han's voice was listless.

"Oh, right," Yi Huang suddenly realized. She had been too excited just now and had momentarily ignored that the Nether Poison Fire could not be used by Xian'er, who had not yet begun to cultivate; the seal was still necessary.

"However, it's the same if we wait until tomorrow to talk about this; I'll take Xian'er to stroll around the street first." Before the words fell, Yi Huang, like a child, instantly pulled Xian'er away and disappeared, leaving Xiao Han shaking his head and sighing in place.
