It wasn't until Xiao Yan had left that the group of mercenaries excitedly approached the magic cores scattered on the ground.
"We're rich!" Someone exclaimed, and excitement flashed in everyone's eyes.
A second-tier magic beast's magic core usually sells for between five thousand and twenty thousand gold coins. The four magic cores here were worth almost fifty thousand gold coins. If divided among them, each person would get over a thousand gold coins.
Adding this to their previous gains, this expedition was enough for them to spend lavishly for three years without leaving their homes. If they were careful, they could almost prepare to retire.
And all of this was simply because a young man wanted to pursue Xiao Yi Xian.
"Rich guy!" The others couldn't help but think.
At this moment, that "rich guy" was soaring through the sky. With his powerful, seventh-grade Soul Power, he had circled the nearby mountains in just half a day. Finally, Xiao Yan found a secluded basin.
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the place." Xiao Yan could clearly feel the energy within the basin was noticeably denser than outside.
"Young Master, this place seems a bit strange," the Wen and Wu Elders' voices echoed, causing Xiao Yan to furrow his brow slightly.
"What could be so strange about this place?" Xiao Yan slowly landed on a small hill at the edge of the basin.
This basin wasn't very large, about the same size as the basin guarded by the Xiao Clan's Seven Star Village.
"We haven't been able to ascertain yet, but if nothing unexpected occurs, there may be a fallen ancient strong individual here," Xiao Wen's voice came again, causing a hint of surprise to appear on Xiao Yan's face.
"I didn't expect this place to be related to ancient strong individuals?"
He stood on the small hill and looked around. One thing that was a bit odd was that there weren't many magical beasts here.
However, as the Xiao Clan's heir, he wasn't overly concerned about any so-called ancient strong individual who might have fallen here. The strongest of these ancient strong individuals were only Dou Saints at best. If they were weaker, perhaps even if they were revived, they wouldn't necessarily be a match for the Wen and Wu Elders.
His current mood was still focused on Xiao Yi Xian.
He unleashed his vast Soul Power, covering the entire basin, and quickly discovered a small thatched cottage on a plain.
The cottage stood peacefully in the tranquil basin, like a hidden paradise away from the noise of the world, filled with quiet and harmony.
And within this peaceful and harmonious cottage, a girl in white was gently leaning against a large eagle with blue feathers, holding a seven-colored scroll in her hands.
"So, it seems I really am the E'nan Toxic Physique written about in this book." The girl revealed a sorrowful smile, leaning weakly against the blue eagle.
"My dream has always been to become a respected alchemist, or at the very least, a physician. But why, why do I have to be this kind of physique?"
Tears streamed down Xiao Yi Xian's face.
The E'nan Toxic Physique was a terrifying constitution. Once one possessed it, the body would instinctively crave poisons.
And each time she consumed poison, it would bring about an increase in her strength. However, after each consumption, her body would also erupt uncontrollably.
As her strength grew, the toxicity would also increase. Eventually, the accumulated toxins would spread to the brain. At that point, the host would uncontrollably become a machine that spread poison.
Wherever it passed, not a blade of grass would grow. Every person with the 厄难毒体 (E'nan Toxic Physique), before their death, would bring a disaster to the continent.
When Xiao Yi Xian read these words from the Seven Colored Poison Scripture, her heart nearly crumbled.
"Am I just born to be a disaster because of this physique?"
Xiao Yi Xian gave a bitter smile, and for some reason, a smiling young man's face suddenly flashed through her mind.
"Heh, which man would dare to want a woman like me?"
"Me!"
A flippant chuckle echoed from behind her, and Xiao Yi Xian's previously dejected face stiffened instantly. She turned around sharply.
Behind her, a black-clad youth was leaning against the doorway with a mischievous grin, watching her quietly.
Sunlight cast upon half his face, gilding his black hair with a golden hue, creating an indescribable artistic atmosphere.
Xiao Yi Xian didn't know what kind of feeling it was, but she knew that she would likely never forget this scene for the rest of her life.
"What are you doing here?" After a moment of surprise, Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face turned icy cold, as if she detested Xiao Yan.
"What am I doing here? Didn't this young master tell you to stay put and not wander around?" Xiao Yan didn't seem to care about her expression, his voice carrying a hint of arrogance.
"Heh." Xiao Yi Xian sneered.
"I've said it before, I don't like you, I even hate you. Now, please disappear from my sight."
"Heh heh, you don't get to decide that," Xiao Yan chuckled, slowly moving closer to her.
"What, what are you doing?" This time, it was Xiao Yi Xian's turn to panic.
"Doing what? Heh heh." Xiao Yan got closer and closer, and Xiao Yi Xian could even vaguely feel his body heat.
"Didn't I say it already? You can't escape my grasp," Xiao Yan cackled.
"Xiao Yan, can you please stop messing around?"
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly paused, her eyes regaining their composure.
"We really aren't suited to be together, I'm not lying to you. No man would dare to marry someone like me."
"That's alright. It wouldn't be bad for you to be my concubine."
Xiao Yan said unconcernedly, his figure getting closer to her.
"Don't joke around anymore, don't you know who I am..."
Before Xiao Yi Xian could finish, she heard Xiao Yan's faint voice beside her ear.
"I know you have the 厄难毒体 (E'nan Toxic Physique), right?"
"You..." Xiao Yi Xian's face showed a hint of shock as she asked blankly, "You already know?"
"A tiny 厄难毒体 (E'nan Toxic Physique), how could it possibly trouble this young master?" Xiao Yan chuckled softly, reaching out to hold her fair, small hand.
"As long as you follow this young master, what does a measly 厄难毒体 (E'nan Toxic Physique) matter?"
"You're just boasting." Xiao Yi Xian gave him a gentle look, a trace of brilliance flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Do you know how terrifying the E'nan Toxic Physique is?"
"I know, but it's really nothing to me," Xiao Yan said with a smile, waving his hand.
"The E'nan Toxic Physique is a peculiar poison physique that can rapidly increase strength by consuming poisons. The way to identify the E'nan Toxic Physique is that there's a small, hidden, seven-colored line on the lower abdomen. The seven-colored line will grow with the concentration of poison within the body."
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, whose pretty face was a little pale, and a smile of intimidation appeared on his face.
"When the seven-colored line extends to the heart, it's the strongest moment for the E'nan Toxic Physique. At the same time, you'll also suffer the pain of ten thousand poisons devouring your body."
"At that time, you'll lose your consciousness and become a container for extremely potent poisons, ultimately becoming the bane of all living things, dying insane. Am I right?"
Xiao Yi Xian's face was pale, and her beautiful eyes were filled with intense unease.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yan suddenly chuckled and gently pulled her, whose body had stiffened, into his arms, patting her back to comfort her.
"The E'nan Toxic Physique is indeed a bit scary, but it depends on who you meet. Little girl, you're lucky; you met this young master. To tell you the truth, this young master just happens to have a method to resolve the E'nan Toxic Physique."
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly looked up, her gaze filled with disbelief.
"Are… are you serious?"
Her voice trembled slightly, clearly unable to control her surging emotions.
"Of course." Xiao Yan chuckled, his gaze softening.
"Don't worry. How could I let you suffer like this? When I cure your condition, you'll not only be able to control the poison within you, but you'll also be able to use it to rapidly increase your strength."
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly went limp, as if she'd lost all her strength, and collapsed into Xiao Yan's arms.
"Why are you so good to me?" she murmured.
"Didn't I tell you? This young master has taken a liking to you, you think I'm joking? Woman?"
Xiao Yan's lips curled into the classic smirk of the arrogant young master.
"So, what are you going to do to solve the problem of the E'nan Toxic Physique? Even Dou Ancestors can't solve this problem." Xiao Yi Xian suddenly raised her head, a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
"Are Dou Ancestors that strong?" Xiao Yan scoffed.
"In less than six months, this young master will reach the Dou Ancestor realm."
"You'd die if you didn't brag, wouldn't you?" Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes at him.
"You ignorant village girl, this young master is now an eight-star Dou Emperor, do you even understand what an eight-star Dou Emperor is?" Xiao Yan looked at her, helplessly complaining.
"I don't believe you." Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, not caring that he called her a village girl.
"I…" Xiao Yan suddenly found himself speechless. It seemed he needed to quickly break through to the Dou Ancestor realm. The bumpkins of the Northwest Continent only knew to shout 'Dou King expert' when they saw him.
This made Xiao Yan's restless heart feel a little frustrated.
"You don't even believe I'm a Dou Emperor, yet you believe I can cure your E'nan Toxic Physique?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at her ethereal and beautiful face.
"Actually, I don't know if you can cure the E'nan Toxic Physique. But even if you're deceiving me, I think it's worthwhile if someone is willing to take such a risk to deceive me."
Xiao Yi Xian's face showed a playful look of relief.
"Don't worry," Xiao Yan said with a gentle smile. "If a Dou Ancestor can't solve the problem, it doesn't mean a Dou Venerate can't. If a Dou Venerate can't solve it, there's still a Dou Saint who can."
"If that doesn't work, we can still ask a Dou God expert to help," he added silently in his heart.
"What Dou Venerate and Dou Saint level experts, these things are too far away from me." Xiao Yi Xian shook her head and whispered, "Whether what you say is true or false, if you find me losing control in the future, please kill me directly."
After saying that, she shook her head with a sorrowful expression. "I don't want my hands to be stained with the blood of innocent people in the end."
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?" Xiao Yan smacked her on the butt, causing a blush to bloom on her pretty face.
"Look at this!"
Suddenly, a mass of black and white flames appeared in his palm.
"Qi transforms into fire... You really are a pharmacist!" Xiao Yi Xian looked at the flames in Xiao Yan's hand with curiosity and surprise.
"…" Xiao Yan's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
"This is a Heavenly Flame, do you understand?"
Xiao Yi Xian's face was filled with shock upon hearing this, then she shook her head.
"Hoo! I'm showing off here, can you cooperate a little!" Xiao Yan took a deep breath, and the Yin-Yang flames in his hand transformed into black and white Yin-Yang fish, slowly swimming around.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan finally saw a trace of shock in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.
"This is Heavenly Flame, a wonder born of heaven and earth, and something all alchemists desperately seek."
Xiao Yan finally had a hint of satisfaction on his face.
"This kind of thing is the most yang and rigid thing in the world. When I find a few more Heavenly Flames, I can help you control the E'nan Toxic Physique."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian's gaze towards Xiao Yan suddenly became a little more gentle.
"Thank you."
Why are you being so polite? Xiao Yan glanced at her with a smile.
"You're already mine, so of course, I have to treat you well."
"Damn it, who's yours?" Xiao Yi Xian snorted softly, then suddenly, her face flushed red as she pecked Xiao Yan on the cheek.
"Do it again, I didn't feel anything just now." Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Yi Xian, pretending not to understand.
"Dream on." A sweet smile appeared on her face, and she seemed to want to leave Xiao Yan's embrace.
However, how many people in the world could take advantage of Xiao Yan?
His strong arms tightly grasped her slender waist. Xiao Yi Xian raised her head in a panic, and saw that handsome face was already close at hand.
"Mmph!"
She couldn't help but widen her eyes.
