Gazing at the Little Healer Immortal who appeared in mid-air, Xiao Yan also got up with a smile and said, “You finally came.” The Little Healer Immortal moved her body, landing lightly on the mountain peak. Under the moonlight, her slightly eerie grayish-purple eyes glanced at the Medusa behind Xiao Yan, then she spoke in an indifferent voice, “The three armies have retreated, and there were some troublesome issues. After retreating, the arguments were too heated, so it took more time.”
“What’s wrong?” Hearing this, Xiao Yan’s brows furrowed, and he asked, “Do the three clans not want to retreat?”
“The Cloud Empire is under the control of the Poison Sect. I am the sect leader of the Poison Sect, so naturally, there would be no significant opposition within the Cloud Empire. However, the Golden Crane Sect and the Mu Lan Valley are not forces of the Cloud Empire. Their sects are not much weaker than the Poison Sect, so even though I said we should retreat, their opposition was quite fierce. They’ve been planning to annex the Jia Ma Empire for a long time, and they naturally did not want to give up this opportunity easily,” the Little Healer Immortal explained slowly.
“Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan are seriously injured by me. Without these two, how can they still dare to be audacious?” Coldness flashed in Xiao Yan’s eyes as he said.
“I have said that the Golden Crane Sect and the Mu Lan Valley are not weak. Although they sent their strongest people in this battle, their elite forces have yet to move. From what I understand, even if my Poison Sect does not participate in this war, they will still insist on annihilating the Jia Ma Empire,” the Little Healer Immortal looked at Xiao Yan again and continued, “Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan are indeed seriously injured, but from what I know, they both have high-level alchemists in their sects. If given a few days, they could send some precious medicinal pills, and their injuries should heal quickly. With a large number of their sect’s strong experts arriving, they will likely reorganize and launch another attack on the Jia Ma Empire.”
Xiao Yan’s face darkened slightly. If this were the case, the Flame Alliance and the Jia Ma Empire might be in a difficult battle once again. This was something he most disliked seeing.
“The greatest reliance of the Golden Crane Sect and the Mu Lan Valley is Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan, these two Douzong strong experts. If we can eliminate them, the strength of both forces will naturally diminish sharply, and they will no longer dare to have any thoughts of attacking the Jia Ma Empire,” the Medusa said suddenly, her tone cold.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan froze slightly, then his eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them. Medusa’s words were indeed true. Since Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan were both seriously injured, it was the best time to annihilate them. Otherwise, once their injuries healed, things would become very troublesome. One must not be lenient with enemies; otherwise, when they come back, the Flame Alliance would pay a heavy price.
Thinking this, Xiao Yan’s gaze turned to the Little Healer Immortal. To eliminate Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan, if she intervened, their plan might be very hard to achieve.
Seeing Xiao Yan’s gaze, the Little Healer Immortal’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she fell into deep thought.
While the Little Healer Immortal was thinking, the Medusa behind Xiao Yan moved, appearing directly in mid-air, subtly blocking the Little Healer Immortal’s escape route. It seemed that if the Little Healer Immortal refused, she would immediately take action.
Naturally, the Medusa’s actions were noticed by the Little Healer Immortal, who sneered, “If I wanted to leave, you wouldn’t be able to stop me.”
“Then let’s see about that,” the Medusa responded, her eyes flashing with cold intent.
Seeing the two women, who were full of hostility, Xiao Yan felt a headache coming on. He waved his hand to stop them, then looked at the Little Healer Immortal and said, “I founded the Flame Alliance, so I cannot watch it be destroyed. Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan are the greatest threats, so if we can eliminate them, it would be the best.”
Looking at Xiao Yan’s bright, clear eyes, the Little Healer Immortal hesitated for a moment, bit her silver teeth, nodded, and said, “Those two have always harbored ill intentions toward me. They are not real allies. If you want to take action, I can turn a blind eye.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. A hint of joy that he couldn’t hide spread across his face. The Little Healer Immortal saying this meant that she had not forgotten their friendship. Even though they were on different sides now, she still cherished it in secret.
Seeing the Little Healer Immortal nod, the coldness in the Medusa’s eyes gradually faded, and she landed gently, saying indifferently, “Smart move.”
Ignoring the Medusa’s words, the Little Healer Immortal turned her grayish-purple eyes to Xiao Yan and said, “Currently, the three armies are gathered in a city on the border of the Cloud Empire, where Yan Luo Tian and the three elders of Mu Lan also are. However, these two are seriously injured, so the defense around them is extremely tight. You won’t find it easy to make a move.”
“Alright, leave it to us,” Xiao Yan said after a moment’s thought, then smiled and nodded.
“When you make your move, I will disperse the outer city defenses, and I will also say that I am going into seclusion. That’s all I can do. The action itself must be done by you, because any leaks would harm the credibility of the Poison Sect,” the Little Healer Immortal said slowly.
“Thank you,” Xiao Yan nodded, then shifted the topic back to the main issue, “Now, let’s talk about how to help you control the Disaster Poison Body. That’s the most important thing.”
The Little Healer Immortal nodded, then a dark gray scroll appeared in her palm. She extended her hand, and the scroll automatically landed in her grip. Her eyes flashed with excitement as she carefully unrolled it.
“The Disaster Poison Body is a peculiar constitution, naturally highly poisonous. Any contact with it can be fatal. It survives by consuming poison, but the more poison consumed, the higher the concentration of toxins in the body. When the toxins reach a certain point, they will explode, destroying all life within a thousand miles. This constitution is extremely rare, divided into innate and acquired. Innate is born with it, while acquired is artificially created. Of the two, the innate is more powerful and has no way to be neutralized. However, if one is lucky, the toxin in the body can be completely controlled, allowing for the manipulation of the poison as desired.
“To control it, there is a method called the ‘Toxin Pill.’ The accumulated toxins in the body are concentrated and eventually form a toxin pill. If the toxin pill is successfully formed, the Disaster Poison Body becomes a truly terrifying constitution. There have been disasters caused by the Disaster Poison Body before, but those with it have never reached this stage because the materials needed for the Toxin Pill method are extremely rare.
“To create a toxin pill, three things are required: First, three different types of Heavenly Fires, second, the magic core of a seventh-grade Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, and third, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.”
As she scanned the scroll, the excitement in the Little Healer Immortal’s eyes dimmed. The materials required for the Toxin Pill method were indeed too terrifying. No wonder no one with a Disaster Poison Body had ever succeeded.
For the three types of Heavenly Fires alone, it was enough to deter many. The destructive power of Heavenly Fires on the continent was well-known. If an ordinary expert could obtain one, their combat power would greatly increase. For an alchemist, the success rate of making pills would also rise significantly. Therefore, Heavenly Fires hold a high status among the experts of the Dou Qi Continent.
However, Heavenly Fires are rare, and finding one is already a stroke of luck. As for three… The second condition, the magic core of a seventh-grade Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast, was equally difficult. The Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast is a powerful ancient beast, and a seventh-grade one has the ability to transform into a human, with terrifying combat power. At its level, it has few rivals, and obtaining its magic core is even more challenging.
Compared to the third, the first two seem relatively easier, as at least the Little Healer Immortal had heard of Heavenly Fires and Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragons. But the third, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, she had never heard of or seen.
With such stringent conditions, the Little Healer Immortal understood why no one with a Disaster Poison Body had ever successfully created the Toxin Pill.
Seeing the Little Healer Immortal’s disheartened expression, Xiao Yan sighed and said softly, “Don’t worry about the three types of Heavenly Fires. I can help with that. But the magic core of the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva will require some effort.”
“You have three types of Heavenly Fire?” The Little Healer Immortal was stunned and looked at Xiao Yan in surprise. How could one person have three types of Heavenly Fire?
Seeing the Little Healer Immortal’s look, Xiao Yan smiled, flicked his fingers, and a green light appeared, splitting into blue and invisible flames. Then, another white flame emerged from the fire mark on his forehead.
Looking at the three small flames hovering in front of Xiao Yan, a hint of joy appeared in the Little Healer Immortal’s dimming eyes. “No wonder you, with Battle Emperor strength, can compete with Battle Sect experts. It’s because of this…”
“But even with three types of Heavenly Fire, the magic core of the Heaven Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva are still very hard to get…” Seeing the Little Healer Immortal’s bitter expression, Xiao Yan smiled and said, “It’s better than having no hope. I will try my best to help you get them.”
Hearing this, the Little Healer Immortal nodded slightly. Indeed, it was better than having no hope at all…
“Okay, I’ll search for information when I return. If I find anything, I’ll notify you… ” She handed the scroll back to Xiao Yan and said softly, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go back now. When you’re ready to act, just crush this jade slip, and I’ll do my best to cooperate.”
She then handed a gray jade slip to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan nodded, took the jade slip, and put it into his storage ring.
Seeing everything settled, the Little Healer Immortal did not linger. She moved and appeared in mid-air, preparing to leave. Just as she was about to go, she paused, turned her head, and gazed at the black-robed young man below, her voice low. “Now that I’m like this, do you still consider me a friend?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was taken aback, then he gave a radiant smile, “My words from back then still hold true.”
