Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Netherworld Poison Fire!

The image of the giant toad in the lowlands immediately came to Xiao Yan's mind.

The reason I was poisoned and fainted, and then sent here, was because I was poisoned by a wisp of Netherworld Poison Fire.

"The world is vast, and every kind of strange fire has its own unique characteristics. For example, your Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was born in a land where all beasts were extinct. Within the flames, the shadows of myriad beasts surge, and it can transform into thousands of fire beasts to command the beast horde."

Besides being a strange fire, the Netherworld Poison Fire is also the most poisonous thing in the world. To subdue this strange fire, one must have extremely strong resistance to poison.

This means that a person needs to be able to withstand the terrifying high temperature of the strange fire and also be immune to its poison. The holder of the Calamity Poison Body meets this requirement.

Like the Calamity Poison Body, the Netherworld Poison Fire feeds on poison to nourish itself. If the holder of the Calamity Poison Body refines the Netherworld Poison Fire, they can transfer their excess poison into this poison fire.

Then, the toxicity within the poisonous fire is absorbed and refined strand by strand, thus forming a perfect cycle.

Upon hearing the old man's explanation, Xiao Yan realized the importance of the Netherworld Poison Fire. If possible, he must try to secure it for Little Fairy Doctor.

However, just as Xiao Yan was slightly relieved, the old man added, "However, once the Calamity Poison Body is activated, no matter what kind of fighting spirit it was before, it will mutate into poison-attribute fighting spirit."

For those who are not of the fire element, the difficulty of controlling a strange fire increases more than tenfold.

Xiao Yan's heart sank. He originally thought that the Netherworld Poison Flame was ranked twentieth among the strange flames, so it shouldn't be too difficult to subdue. However, he did not expect that because of its characteristics, it was actually more difficult to control than the strange flames ranked in the teens.

"May I ask, senior, is there a way to break this?"

Xiao Yan continued to ask. Since he had promised Little Fairy Doctor, he would definitely do his best. Of course, if this path really couldn't be followed, he would try another method: collect the three kinds of strange fire and then try to refine the poison pill.

"Hehe, young friend, you've come to the right person. Apart from me, I'm afraid there's no other way to find a solution in the entire Dou Qi Continent."

At this point, even the usually composed old man revealed a hint of pride in his eyes.

This method took him a thousand years to perfect.

He devoted his life to alchemy, detached himself from worldly affairs, and was determined to cure all the difficult and complicated diseases and special illnesses in the world. In this respect, he really went further than other alchemists.

Xiao Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this: "Please enlighten me, senior."

The old man stroked his beard and explained in detail: "Actually, the method is not too complicated. If you want someone other than the fire element to control the strange fire, two conditions need to be met."

First, it must be compatible with the properties of the strange fire. For example, the Netherworld Poison Fire is characterized by poison and fire. Apart from fire-type cultivators, only poison-type cultivators can accept and bear it.

The second requirement is that a fire-type cultivator is needed as a bridge to first refine the strange fire within their own body before transferring it to the other person's body.

Therefore, this method is extremely dangerous, since refining the Netherworld Poison Fire is inherently very dangerous, and at the same time, one must give the already refined strange fire to someone else.

Unless it's a relationship beyond life-or-death bonds, it's probably hard to imagine someone being willing to go to this lengths.

The old man was willing to give Xiao Yan so much guidance because he saw Xiao Yan's sincerity.

Having found the method, Xiao Yan roughly understood what to do.

Having the divine markings of the Xiao clan, the success rate of refining the strange fire is very high. He can use his own body as a bridge to transfer the fire into Little Fairy Doctor's body, thus stabilizing her body.

"Thank you, senior. I understand what to do now."

Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a salute, having already made up his mind. He knew his strength was insufficient at the moment, so he would wait until he became stronger before seeking out the giant toad to seize the Netherworld Poison Fire.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan's appearance, the old man immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"Young friend, you wouldn't be thinking of using your own body as a bridge to transfer the strange fire to your friend, would you? Not to mention that the Miasma Toad is a sixth-order magical beast, and it also harbors Netherworld Poison Fire within its body, which is extremely toxic. Even if a Dou Zong expert came, there is a possibility of mutual destruction."

Moreover, even if you take the Netherworld Poison Fire from it, the Netherworld Poison Fire that it has nurtured for hundreds of years is not something you can easily resist.

Moreover, when transitioning to the different flames, you need to remove all your defenses and come into close contact with the Calamity Poison Body.

In that situation, you wouldn't be able to use the strange fire to protect yourself. You'd probably be poisoned to death by the Netherworld Poison Fire and the Calamity Poison Body before you could even transfer the strange fire to the other person.

The old man had only given a brief explanation and did not really intend for Xiao Yan to take this path. However, seeing the other's pensive expression, he knew that the boy probably wanted to undergo a process of absorbing the strange fire.

After spending the last few days together, the old man felt that Xiao Yan was a decent person and didn't want him to die in vain.

"this……"

The old man's words made Xiao Yan fall silent again. Although he had made a promise to Little Fairy Doctor, he couldn't sacrifice himself to help her get rid of the afflicted poison body.

Moreover, even if Xiao Yan were willing to do that, Little Fairy Doctor would definitely not agree.

Xiao Yan just didn't expect that this so-called faster second path would be so difficult.

If all else fails, I'll have to take the first path, which involves spending a lot of time searching for materials to refine the poison pill, and constantly improving my alchemy skills.

Even if everything goes smoothly, it will probably be ten or even several decades later, and I don't know if Little Fairy Doctor will still be alive then.

"Oh, Grandpa, stop teasing him. Why don't you just take him as your disciple and refine a Nether Crystal Pill for him? As long as he has this invulnerable pill, he can complete the transition to a different kind of fire within the duration of its effects, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's constantly changing expression, the little girl beside him finally couldn't bear to watch any longer.

The old man glanced at the little girl and said, "Teaching a little girl like you is already too much for this old man to handle. Let's forget about taking on a disciple. If you really like him, then you can go and teach him."

After saying this, the old man ignored Xiao Yan and the little girl and walked into the bamboo hut.

"Hmph, what's so great about it? If you won't teach me, I will."

The little girl then walked up to Xiao Yan, her large, bright eyes fixed on him: "How about it, kid? Interested in becoming my disciple?"

"Ah...you?"

Xiao Yan looked at the girl, who appeared to be around ten years old, and felt a sense of disbelief. Could she really be an alchemist as well?

"What, do you look down on me? Although my alchemy skills are not as good as my grandfather's, none of your so-called Pill Kings and Medicine Emperors are as good as a single finger of mine. You'd better think it over."

The little girl crossed her arms proudly. Xiao Yan truly had no doubt about her words. But wouldn't it be a laughingstock if word got out that he had taken such a young girl as his master?

But then I thought, it doesn't matter who I take as my master. Even if it's a young girl, as long as she's capable, I'll accept her as my master wholeheartedly.

"Alright, in that case, I'll become your disciple."

Xiao Yan knelt down on one knee before the little girl and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

The little girl looked at Xiao Yan approvingly and patted his shoulder: "You are a promising young man. From today onwards, you will be my eldest disciple, Sheng'er."
