Xiao Yi Xian's secret base valley was not small, and with clouds and mist swirling above, ordinary flying Demonic Beasts couldn't discover it. If Chen Yang hadn't guided the way, the Amethyst Winged Lion King, a local beast, wouldn't have known such a geomantic treasure existed within its own territory.
After landing, Chen Yang had the Amethyst Winged Lion King find a spot at the valley entrance to crouch; further out from there was the location where Wan Yao Pharmacy used to gather medicinal herbs.
After settling the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Chen Yang went to the water's edge, found a protruding rock, sat down cross-legged, waved his hand to take out the medicinal herbs and Medicine Cauldron needed for Alchemy, and began refining.
This time, he was refining a Peakfourth-grade pill for the Amethyst Winged Lion King's cub. It was created by an Alchemist commissioned by the Ancient Demon Sect, the Amethyst Winged Lion Clan. The reason was simple: not all Amethyst Winged Lion Kings can give birth to an accompanying purple crystal source; the probability of this item being produced is less than one in ten. Therefore, this Medicinal Pill used other rare medicinal herbs to replace a portion of the accompanying purple crystal source, achieving the goal of allowing an Amethyst Winged Lion King cub to use it while still a Third-Tier Magical Beast.
With one Medicinal Pill, the Third-Tier Amethyst Winged Lion King cub would immediately rise to the Fourth-Tier.
As for whether there were subsequent fifth-grade pills that could take one from the Fourth-Tier straight to the Fifth-Tier, Chen Yang wasn't sure. After all, he was currently just a minor Fourth-Grade Alchemist.
When a fourth-grade pill is formed, a medicinal fragrance will overflow in all directions.
In the distance, after carving out a cave to shelter its cub from the rain, the Amethyst Winged Lion King lay at the valley entrance, quietly watching Chen Yang perform Alchemy.
Sensing this rich pill fragrance, the Amethyst Winged Lion King almost stood up in excitement. Were it not for the deterrence of Chen Yang, pill fragrance of this level would be enough to attract a Sixth-Tier Magical Beast like itself to fight for it.
As the Medicinal Pill took shape, Chen Yang used flames for the final nurturing. The pill fragrance drifted further and further, but it was all gathered within this valley.
"Wu..."
Inside the house, the still somewhat tired Xiao Yi Xian leisurely woke up, and immediately smelled the rich fragrance.
With bleary eyes, she got up and walked out the door, seeing Chen Yang sitting cross-legged by the water's edge refining pills. A look of happiness flashed across her face. Xiao Yi Xian stepped out of the doorway, intending to go to Chen Yang, but in the blink of an eye, she saw the mountain-like Amethyst Winged Lion King crouching at the valley entrance.
"Ah!!!"
A cry of alarm rang out, and then Xiao Yi Xian quickly ran in front of Chen Yang, blocking the space between him and the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"It's okay, Xiao Yi Xian!"
"It's the cute Demonic Beast I told you about."
Chen Yang smiled and patted the Medicine Cauldron; the Medicinal Pill inside flew out and was steadily caught by him.
Waving his hand to put away both the Medicine Cauldron and the pill, Chen Yang jumped down from the boulder and reached out to wrap an arm around the shoulders of the still-trembling Xiao Yi Xian.
"???" Xiao Yi Xian turned her head, looking at Chen Yang in surprise, then turned back to look at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
You call this... cute?
This is a bit too 'cute'!!!
Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes, only then realizing that this giant lion was likely Chen Yang's mount or pet, similar to what Xiao Lan was to her.
"A Sixth-Tier Magical Beast, the Amethyst Winged Lion King!"
"I took it in a while ago in the Magical Beast Mountain Range!"
Chen Yang pointed at the Amethyst Winged Lion King and explained with a smile.
"A Sixth-Tier Magical Beast?"
"Doesn't that make it a Dou Huang expert just like you?"
Xiao Yi Xian was shocked once again.
"Even a Dou Huang expert is our family's pet, it has to listen to you!"
Chen Yang smiled and beckoned to the Amethyst Winged Lion King. The lion king immediately flapped its wings happily, flew over, and landed carefully in front of Chen Yang.
"Here, give this pill to your cub. In a few days, it should be able to advance to the Fourth-Tier!" Chen Yang said, taking the pill from his storage ring and tossing it to the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Mistress!" The Amethyst Winged Lion King respectfully called out twice, then flew backward to the valley entrance.
Watching the Amethyst Winged Lion King depart, Xiao Yi Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Let alone seeing a Demonic Beast of this level, she was hearing of one for the first time.
Sensing the girl's discomfort in his arms, Chen Yang pulled her closer.
"Chen Yang, I feel like since I've been with you, my horizons have broadened bit by bit. Will I soon become unworthy of you?" A girl who has just entered a relationship is like this, feeling gain and loss, worried that her lover might suddenly not want her anymore.
"How could that be? Your Calamity Poison Body has infinite potential. Perhaps in the future, I'll be the one who needs your protection?" Chen Yang reached out to touch Xiao Yi Xian's face, looking at her with an earnest expression.
"I know... but if I want to quickly increase my strength, I have to consume poison, and after consuming poison, I can't be with you..." Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head anxiously, whispering softly.
"How should I put it, you're lucky. Come..." Chen Yang smiled, reached out to lead Xiao Yi Xian to the stone table outside to sit, and then waved his hand to pull out a scroll from his storage ring that hadn't been out for more than three hours. "On this trip out, I happened to have a bit of a harvest, and it just happens to be about your Calamity Poison Body."
Saying this, Chen Yang handed the scroll to Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian curiously took the scroll and opened it. What met her eyes was the introduction to the 'Heavenly Poison Nether Art'.
"This... this is..."
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang with a mix of surprise and joy. This Cultivation Technique could actually control the Calamity Poison Body?
"I didn't expect there to be a second item related to the Calamity Poison Body in the Magical Beast Mountain Range either." Chen Yang thought to himself that since there was a second set of Flying Dou Techniques in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, having a second item related to the Calamity Poison Body seemed possible.
"Chen Yang..." Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang with teary eyes, called his name infatuatedly, and threw herself into his embrace. "It must be... I must have become so lucky because I met you. You are... you are my greatest fortune."
As Xiao Yi Xian spoke passionately, Chen Yang reached out to lift her onto his lap and wiped away her tears: "Your good luck is still ahead of you."
Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's puzzled look, Chen Yang smiled: "What I obtained was a Soul PowerLegacy named the 'Heavenly Poison Sacred Codex'. it contains many things. Besides this Cultivation Technique I imprinted using Soul Power, the Sacred Codex also records the detailed location of the Netherworld Poison Flame."
As Xiao Yi Xian listened to Chen Yang, her small mouth gradually widened, as if she were listening to a fairy tale.
"Your Calamity Poison Body can be completely resolved, and the promise I made to let you become an Alchemist also has hope!" Chen Yang rubbed Xiao Yi Xian's hair and said softly.
"Wah!!!"
Xiao Yi Xian threw herself into Chen Yang's arms and cried out loud.
Finally... finally, hope could be seen for everything.
She didn't want to leave Chen Yang, she really didn't, not even a little bit.
But her Physique would one day grow to a point where it could threaten a Dou Huang expert. If that day came, she would definitely have to leave Chen Yang.
But she couldn't bear it, she really, really couldn't bear to let go.
And this good news Chen Yang brought now allowed her to completely release the emotions in her heart. Everything was unleashed to the fullest at this moment!
...In the time that followed, Xiao Yi Xian began to Cultivate the 'Heavenly Poison Nether Art', while Chen Yang was responsible for refining poison pills for her. Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation could be said to progress at a thousand miles a day.
It was worth mentioning that if Cultivation Techniques or Dou Techniques obtained by triggering the System mechanism were given to others, they could not trigger the System mechanism again.
Yet Xiao Yi Xian, in just one short month, went from a One-Star Dou Zhe to a One-Star Great Dou Master. Her speed was even faster than Xiao Yan's. Of course, besides the poison pills, Chen Yang also refined other auxiliary pills for her—those to strengthen the Foundation, those to improve physical fitness... well... actually, Chen Yang had many gentle pills to improve physical fitness. As long as one took them and performed high-intensity exercise, they could gradually raise their Physical Body to the level of a Third-Tier Magical Beast. But if it were Xiao Yan... he should just stick to getting beaten up!
On this day, after Xiao Yi Xian and Chen Yang finished their 'riding exercise' and were learning how to concoct poisons, the System notification sound suddenly rang in Chen Yang's mind:
[Ding!]
[Detected that the strongest Beast Fire in the eastern region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range is Xiao Yan's sixth-tier Purple Flame. The host has obtained the Beast Fire of the Seventh-Tier Magical Beast, the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. It has been perfectly fused for you!]
"Xiao Yan finished the job???"
"Not bad, not bad..."
