Chapter 117 Alternatives to the Poison Pill Method
After leaving Xun'er's place, Xiao Bai did not return to his own courtyard, but went directly to Xiao Yan's place.
"Brother Bai, you've finally appeared!" Xiao Yan was so excited when he saw him that he rushed over.
"Stop!" Seeing this, Xiao Bai directly stretched out a hand to block him: "Get to the point!"
"Brother Bai, I'm suffering!" Xiao Yan pretended to wipe his eyes, crying out in a somewhat aggrieved tone, "Half a month, half a month has passed, and my cultivation hasn't improved at all!"
Xiao Bai was a little puzzled. You only broke through to the ninth level of Dou Power in half a month. How much more progress do you want to make? A Dou Di in one step?
At this moment, a figure emerged from the ring. The old man of medicine floated out, circled Xiao Bai, stroked his beard, and exclaimed, "Not bad! Xiao Bai, your cultivation is rising rapidly!"
"Hehe, nothing special!" Xiao Bai said modestly with a smile, then pointed at Xiao Yan and asked Yao Lao, "This is...?"
"Heh~ Someone has taken a liking to the Foundation Establishment Elixir you refined. I've been waiting for this day and night, and finally you've arrived!" Yao Lao glanced at Xiao Yan and said in a sour tone.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai immediately understood. He glanced at Xiao Yan, who was touching his nose somewhat awkwardly, and couldn't help but smile.
"Take these! These should be enough to help you break through to the Dou Zhe level!" Xiao Bai took out several jade bottles from his storage ring and handed them to him with a smile.
These were the same medicinal herbs Xiao Yan gave me last time. It's just that the magic core was ruined during the refining process. Later, I obtained some magic cores from the snake-people and casually refined them.
This Foundation Establishment Elixir is a second-grade elixir, effective only at the Dou Zhi stage. Those around him don't need it. Xun'er goes without saying, as Xiao Bai doesn't need to worry about her cultivation. Xian'er has also broken through to the Dou Zhe stage, so she doesn't need this stuff.
He could sell the pills for money to buy what he needed, but he didn't have the time or energy to sell them off little by little.
Thinking about this, Xiao Bai suddenly felt that he needed to find a glove to help him handle these matters. Ya Fei was a good candidate, but her strength was a bit low!
But it doesn't matter. Once he builds up his power, there will be strong figures to oversee it. She only needs to handle business and help him collect the resources he needs!
"By the way, Elder Yao, do you still remember the Calamity Poison Body we talked about last time?" Xiao Bai snapped out of his thoughts and asked.
"The Calamity Poison Body? Why are you asking about this again, brat?" Yao Lao's resentful gaze shifted from Xiao Yan to Xiao Bai, looking at him with suspicion.
"Um, I have a friend."
"Don't tell me you have a friend with the Calamity Poison Body?!" The old medicine man's hands trembled, and he was so shocked that he almost ripped his beard off.
He had dealt with the Calamity Poison Body before, and even fought against it, so he knew how terrifying this constitution was!
Thinking back to that woman, the old apothecary sighed deeply. An empire, just because of one offense against her, had its vast territory turned into a poisonous wasteland, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people!
"That's right! I heard from you last time that there's a way to deal with the Calamity Poison Body. I wonder what that way is?"
"Sigh!" The old apothecary shook his head with a sigh.
"Rest assured, senior. You know my character. Just name your conditions, and I will do my best to fulfill them!"
"What are you thinking, kid! I'm not trying to make demands, it's just that the solution to this Calamity Poison Body is too harsh, and I'm worried you'll be disappointed!" Old Master Yao glared at him irritably. Did this kid think he, Yao Chen, was so heartless?
Putting aside the fact that Xiao Bai helped him obtain so many things on this trip, given their current relationship, a method for controlling a poisonous body is of little use to him. Why not give it to him?
"I'm sorry!" Xiao Bai smiled at Yao Lao, feeling a sense of humility.
"Hey kid, see for yourself!" The old apothecary pulled out a dark, grayish-brown scroll and tossed it to him.
With a wave of his hand, the scroll fell into his hand automatically. A hint of joy flashed in Xiao Bai's eyes, and he carefully unrolled the scroll.
"The Calamity Poison Body is a rather bizarre and special constitution. Those born with it are inherently extremely poisonous; anyone who touches it will die. It requires ingesting poison to survive, but the more poison one ingests, the more concentrated it becomes within the body. When the poison solidifies to a certain degree, it will completely erupt, destroying all life within a thousand miles. This poison body is exceptionally rare, with both innate and acquired forms. Undoubtedly, the innate form is far more powerful and virtually invincible. If, by chance, one can completely control the poison body, one can manipulate the poisonous power within the body at will!"
"This method of control is called the Poison Pill Method. It condenses all the accumulated toxins in the body into a single poison pill. Only when the poison pill is formed can the Calamity Poison Body become a truly terrifying physique. Several times the Calamity Poison Body has appeared on the continent, but none of them have reached this stage. The reason is simply that the materials are hard to find!"
"To refine poison pills, generally speaking, three things are needed: first, three kinds of strange fire; second, the demonic core of a seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast; and third, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva!"
The specific method is as follows.
Xiao Bai slowly read through all the records on the scroll, then frowned and fell into deep thought.
"How about that? This method isn't easy, is it? In current records, probably only the person who invented it has ever succeeded!"
Seeing the old man's furrowed brows, Yao Lao stroked his beard, feeling a sense of relief. Otherwise, the kid would have thought he was reluctant to part with the money and would have made demands of him!
He then continued speaking:
"You know about the Strange Flame, no need to elaborate. The Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast is alright too, although it's only at the seventh rank, it's not impossible. However, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva is not easy to obtain; it's too special and almost never seen!"
Xiao Bai didn't think much of what Yao Lao said. He knew where to find the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva. The reason he was frowning was mainly to find out what the three kinds of strange fire were used for and whether they could be replaced by lightning seeds!
"Senior, according to the records, these three strange flames are only used to force the toxins in the body of the Calamity Poison Body together, gather them with the Demon Core, and then dissolve them with the Bodhi. If that's all they have, is it possible to replace the three strange flames with something else, such as lightning?"
If, as recorded on the scroll, the only function of the strange fire is this, then he is 90% certain that it can be replaced by lightning types like Xiao Yi, but he still wants to hear Yao Lao's opinion.
"Replace... Huh?" Yao Lao was puzzled at first, then seemed to understand Xiao Bai's thoughts. He had personally witnessed the clash between those types of lightning and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame in the underground space of the desert.
Several types of lightning possess power comparable to that of strange fire. Initially, influenced by his mindset, he hadn't considered this point. Now, with Xiao Bai's reminder, he suddenly felt that this alternative might not be a bad idea!
"Theoretically, it should be feasible, but there are a few things to note. First, lightning is more volatile and requires greater control. Second, this method mentions that the three different flames need to be fused. Can your lightning be fused?"
After pondering for a moment, the old apothecary hesitated and said that he was very familiar with fire, but he had only seen Xiao Bai's lightning and did not know much about it.
The Soul Hall storyline has been cut and revised. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
