Several days passed, and Xiao Yan recovered under the little girl's care. Even his Dou Qi, which had been slightly weak due to the continuous use of the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill, became extremely refined.

Xiao Yan's arrival also brought a touch of life to the bamboo hut.

"Oh dear, you're so clumsy, so clumsy! If you keep trying to concoct this medicine like this, how long will it take? Your teacher's skills are terrible!"

With nothing to do in the bamboo hut, and with plenty of medicinal herbs available, Xiao Yan would often practice with some low-level materials after obtaining permission from the little girl and the old man.

However, in the little girl's eyes, his alchemy techniques and skills were completely wrong. Even Xiao Yan, with his pride, was slightly annoyed by this.

"Young lady, I'm refining elixirs, not brewing medicine like a doctor would. Do you understand?"

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, the little girl puffed out her chest and raised her head: "Isn't it just a matter of alchemy? Go away, let me demonstrate it for you."

The little girl walked to Xiao Yan's side and grabbed a prescription that was exactly the same as the one he had taken before.

These are all raw materials for the first-grade antidote pill. Xiao Yan was poisoned this time, so he wanted to refine more antidotes.

Although these antidotes will certainly have no effect on the poisonous flames, they will still be somewhat useful against some weaker poisons later on.

The little girl picked up the earthenware pot she used to boil medicine in and poured all the herbs into it.

This scene left Xiao Yan speechless. Who refines medicine like this? Does he think it's cooking?

However, Xiao Yan did not point out her faults. Since she was so confident, he would just have to see what she was capable of.

The little girl poured all the ingredients into an earthenware pot, then added a little water, and covered the pot with the lid. The whole process was no different from ordinary medicine-making, and her technique was even more crude.

Just as Xiao Yan was preparing to see the other party make a fool of themselves, the little girl flicked her finger, and a wisp of green flame leaped from her fingertip into the stove, igniting it.

Then the little girl picked up the earthenware pot and shook it back and forth like a ladle, making sure that every part of the pot was perfectly covered by the green flames.

The magic of this green flame is completely different from ordinary flames; it looks very gentle yet carries a hint of life.

Just as Xiao Yan was still pondering what kind of flame it was, the little girl's pill had already been refined.

"Out of the pot!"

The little girl put down the earthenware pot and extinguished the green flame.

Keep in mind that less than a minute had passed in this entire process. For an ordinary alchemist, it would probably take that long to even ignite the cauldron.

"You're all done? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Xiao Yan simply couldn't believe that the pill could be refined in such a short time, especially using such a completely baffling method. He thought the little girl was playing a trick on him.

"Don't believe me? Then just wait and see."

The little girl opened the earthenware jar, and the medicinal herbs that had been thrown in all at once had turned into round pills, and there were as many as six of them!

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Yan stepped forward and took out one of the pills. Its fragrance and appearance were exactly the same as the antidote pill. There was even a layer of pill patterns on the pill, which clearly indicated that it was of superior quality.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's gaze towards the little girl turned to shock and confusion.

The little girl in front of me, who looks only ten years old, actually finished refining the pill so easily. Even if it was only a first-grade pill, there were very few people in the entire Jia Ma Empire who could do it.

"How about that? Am I amazing? I told you before that alchemy is a simple matter."

The little girl puffed out her chest, looking quite proud of herself. Just then, an old man returning from gathering herbs saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

"Girl, you've been with your grandfather for so long. Showing off in front of a kid who's just starting out isn't a real skill."

Hearing the old man's words, the little girl immediately pouted. Although she was very unconvinced, she did not refute him.

Only now did Xiao Yan realize that the old man in front of him was a very powerful reclusive alchemist, and that he might know how to cure the Calamity Poison Body.

"Senior, are you perhaps an alchemist?" Xiao Yan asked respectfully.

"Of course, my grandfather's alchemy skills are unparalleled in the entire Dou Qi Continent. There are no more than three people in the entire continent who can compare with him."

The old man didn't answer; instead, the little girl spoke up triumphantly.

Xiao Yan did not doubt the other party's words. Perhaps some of them were exaggerated, but the other party should at least be stronger than Gu He, the strongest alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan became excited. He wanted to become Gu He's disciple in order to learn how to resolve the Calamity Poison Body.

Now that they've encountered an even more powerful alchemist, it's truly a case of finding something you've been searching for without any effort at all.

"Since you are a master alchemist, senior, I dare to ask you a question: are you familiar with the Calamity Poison Body?"

Xiao Yan's words made the old man raise an eyebrow slightly: "Are you talking about the innate poison body that can enhance cultivation by consuming poison?"

Although this constitution is rare, I have seen quite a few of them.

"What, do you know anyone with this kind of constitution?"

Upon hearing that the old man had heard of it, Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy: "Indeed, I have an important friend who possesses this physique, and it has been activated for some time. I hope to ask you, senior, to help him heal. If you are unwilling to help, please at least teach me how to break the curse. I will never forget this kindness!"

After saying that, Xiao Yan knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a salute.

He dared not ask the other party to take him as a disciple. Whether or not someone of that level would take him as a disciple depended entirely on their preferences. If he persisted, he might only be disliked.

"Heh, I can tell that person must be very important to you."

Very well, healing the sick and saving lives is a doctor's duty. This calamity-inducing body is indeed troublesome once activated, but I believe that there is a way to solve all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases in the world.

As for this Calamity Poison Body, if it is not activated, I have a hundred ways to neutralize it, but once it is activated, there are only two ways to break it.

One method is the Poison Pill technique, which uses alchemy to refine the person with the Calamity Poison Body, compressing the toxins and fighting spirit in their body into a Poison Pill, which can then perfectly integrate with their body and eliminate the risk of an explosion.

However, the method for making this poison pill is extremely complicated, requiring at least three different types of strange fire, and the materials needed to be collected are also very rare.

If you choose this path, it may take years or even decades to prepare.

The second method is relatively simpler, but also much more dangerous. This method only requires one type of strange fire: the Netherworld Poison Fire.
