Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Hidden Quest Is Here!

    ?

    Xiao Yan felt a pang of bitterness in his heart as he listened to Little Fairy Doctor''s sobs. In truth, he hadn''t wanted to reveal the Poison Pill Method to her so soon.

    Ideally, it would have been best if Little Fairy Doctor could control her craving to consume poison on her own, but reality often went against one''s wishes.

    By revealing the existence of the Poison Pill Method to Little Fairy Doctor, it was as if he had given her the green light to freely consume poison without fear, knowing that the Poison Pill Method would keep her safe.

    Xiao Yan''s biggest concern was that without any worries to hold her back, Little Fairy Doctor would no longer suppress her ''appetite'' and continue to consume poison, leading to an excessive accumulation that could cause the Woeful Poison Body to erupt prematurely.

    Moreover, he knew that this Poison Pill Method was merely a temporary measure and could not completely control the Woeful Poison Body.

    According to the detailed steps described in the Poison Pill Method scroll, it utilized three kinds of Heavenly Flames to refine the body''s poison, along with the Monster Core of the Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast and the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva, to form a Poison Pill. It essentially treated the Woeful Poison Body as a medicinal cauldron to perform an alchemy process that condensed all the poison into a single pill.

    As an alchemist, Xiao Yan naturally understood that the principle behind the Poison Pill Method was essentially a form of alchemy. The method itself was akin to a recipe for a peak 7th-tier medicinal pill.

    Thus, Xiao Yan further understood that the Poison Pill Method was merely a stopgap measure and could not fully resolve the issues with the Woeful Poison Body.

    The poison-attribute Dou Qi of the Woeful Poison Body would start to cause problems once it accumulated up to the Dou Ancestor realm, and there would be a constant risk of eruption. A 7th-tier medicinal pill was precisely suitable for Dou Ancestors.

    In other words, the Poison Pill could only absorb the poison below the peak Dou Ancestor stage. If Little Fairy Doctor''s cultivation surpassed the Dou Ancestor realm and reached the Dou Venerate realm, the Poison Pill would begin to falter.

    After all, the medicinal pills used by Dou Venerates were of the 8th tier, and the difference between the 7th tier and 8th tier was not small. The refinement of 8th-tier pills required a Spiritual State that had reached the Soul State, which clearly showed the vast gap between them.

    Xiao Yan had searched through all the books in his storage ring but found no complete solution for the Woeful Poison Body.

    He dreaded the thought of being helpless in the end, watching Little Fairy Doctor die before his eyes.

    Gently patting Little Fairy Doctor''s head, Xiao Yan said softly, "Today''s breakfast is a little late, huh?"

    Little Fairy Doctor came back to her senses after hearing those words. She took two steps back and noticed that Xiao Yan''s clothes were soaked. Her cheeks turned red as she softly said, "Thank you, Xiao Yan."

    Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "There''s no need to thank me. We''re still missing too many things, and we''ve only taken the first step. So far, I''ve only succeeded in refining a 4th-tier pill once, and the other two ingredients are still nowhere to be found."

    "It''s a pity I couldn''t find the Ten Thousand Beast Flame in the Magic Beast Mountain Range this time."

    Although the Seed Flame of the Nihility Devouring Flame was also a Heavenly Flame, being newly born, it was still too weak. Its power couldn''t compare to that of the Bone Chilling Flame.Th.e? most uptod/ate novels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m

    Xiao Yan estimated that the Seed Flame would have to grow to the point where it could burn a Rank 6 magical beast to death before it could be considered a true Heavenly Flame.

    When Little Fairy Doctor heard this, she finally understood why Xiao Yan had come to the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

    "So you better control yourself and not be too gluttonous. Remember, you have to wait for me to collect the three kinds of Heavenly Flames and reach the 7th-tier alchemist level before I can refine that Poison Pill for you," Xiao Yan advised earnestly.

    Seeing Xiao Yan''s serious expression as he admonished her, Little Fairy Doctor felt a warm current flow through her heart. She wiped the tears from her pretty face and sniffled before secretly vowing to herself, ''No matter what happens in the future, I will always be the Little Fairy Doctor of Qingshan Town in front of you.''

    ...

    Xiao Yan nodded back with a calm smile but remained silent.

    "Human, you have some nerve. That Dou Emperor woman is gone, yet you still dare to remain

    in the Magic Beast Mountain Range! You even stole my Amethyst Lion Birth Essence!!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King''s face was filled with rage, and a terrifying killing intent locked

    onto Xiao Yan.

    Xiao Yan simply smiled faintly and said, "If the Lion King merely wanted to kill me to vent its anger, then I wouldn''t have the chance to have this leisurely chat with the Lion King right now. This place would have turned into a hellish scene long ago." "Moreover, although I''m not much, I''m currently a 4th-tier alchemist and have gained some reputation in the Alchemist Association of the Jia Ma Empire. If the Lion King kills me, this Soul Command will transmit the incident through a spiritual transmission directly to the Chairman of the Alchemist Association."

    "I believe killing a 4th-tier alchemist would be all harm and no benefit for the Lion King."

    Xiao Yan played with the Soul Command in his fingers. Naturally, the Amethyst Winged Lion King could sense that the object in Xiao Yan''s hand was not ordinary but a soul tool capable of transmitting spiritual information.

    It had also heard that alchemists could send spiritual transmissions to summon powerful individuals who owed them favors to come to their rescue.

    Of course, Xiao Yan was just bluffing, or rather, bluffing the Lion King. Although he had indeed successfully refined 4th-tier medicinal pills, he had not joined the Alchemist Association, nor had he undergone any kind of assessment. He didn''t even know who the Chairman of the Jia Ma Empire''s Alchemist Association was.

    "Ha ha ha! Are you threatening me? A mere 4th-tier alchemist? I don''t believe the Jia Ma

    Empire would wage war over a 4th-tier alchemist." An immense, terrifying pressure suddenly

    pressed down on Xiao Yan.

    Xiao Yan immediately activated the Mad Lion Chant to protect his body and released his Spiritual Strength to withstand the crushing pressure.

    He faced the Amethyst Winged Lion King''s oppressive aura with his hands clasped behind his

    back. Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually frantically mobilizing his Spiritual Strength to resist.

    Had it not been for the Spirit Heart Gathering Soul Technique, which had allowed him to reach

    the late stage of the Middle Mortal State in terms of Spiritual Strength, he might have been forced to kneel by now.

    Moments later, Little Fairy Doctor''s voice called out from the thatched hut, "Xiao Yan, the tea

    is ready."

    Xiao Yan smiled and made a welcoming gesture as he said, "Why not step into my humble abode for some first-class medicinal tea?"

    After a moment of silence, the Amethyst Winged Lion King''s gaze hardened, but eventually,

    it slowly retracted its oppressive aura.

    ''Indeed, the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not come here just for the Amethyst Lion Birth

    Essence.''

    ''Could it be that thing?''
