Battle Through the Heavens: Marry Cao Ying, Reward is Devouring Ancestral Symbol

I will let her control the poison fire herself.Shen Wen nodded, his tone peaceful, saying, “Then congratulations to Venerable Yao for taking on such a fine Disciple.”

Currently, Brother Xiao’s injuries have not yet healed.

Miss Yun Zhi also needs time to resolve the Seal. Why not stay on my flying boat for a few more days?

Coincidentally, I also have a few questions regarding Alchemy that I wish to ask Elder Yao.”

He looked at Yun Yun, whose face was still somewhat pale, and added, “The Amethyst Winged Lion King’s Seal is quite troublesome.

Miss Yun Zhi will likely need several days of rest before she can Break through it herself.”

Xiao Yan did not answer immediately.

Instead, he subconsciously looked at the illusory Elder Yao beside him.

Yao Chen pondered briefly. Thinking of their current situation and his connection with the Pill Tower, he nodded and said to Shen Wen, “In that case, we shall trouble Nephew Shen.”

As he was currently a Soul Body, having the opportunity to communicate with the current Core Successor of the Pill Tower would also benefit Xiao Yan’s future.

The internal space of Shen Wen’s flying boat was vast, more than enough to accommodate the few of them.

By the second day.

The flying boat changed direction and headed towards Qingshan Town.

Shen Wen said to everyone, “I need to make another trip to Qingshan Town to handle some unfinished business. If you don’t mind, you may all come along.”

Elder Yao heard this and asked with slight curiosity, “Oh? What important matter requires Nephew Shen to specifically turn back?”

He thought Shen Wen had overlooked some important medicinal ingredients or clues.

Before Shen Wen could answer, Cai Lin, who was standing quietly to the side, spoke in a calm tone, her purple eyes sweeping over everyone: “My Husband is going to take a woman as a concubine.”

“A concubine?” Elder Yao was stunned, a look of surprise appearing on his illusory face.

Although he knew that it was common for Disciples of great clans in Zhongzhou to have multiple wives and concubines, Shen Wen already had Cao Ying, a beautiful and enchanting Principal Wife.

Furthermore, he had a cold, stunning beauty like Queen Medusa as a concubine.

Even the Dan Family girl traveling with them and the Little Maid Qing Lin, who possessed the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, seemed to harbor hidden affections.

That’s right, Elder Yao had already sensed Qing Lin’s uniqueness. He hadn’t expected to be fortunate enough to witness the appearance of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils.

The key was that it had already Awakened.

In his view, this was already the Bliss of a Man with Many Women; he hadn’t expected Shen Wen to take another concubine?

He couldn’t help but stroke his beard and sigh, his tone carrying a hint of teasing and disbelief: “Nephew Shen, you truly are a man of strong character, aren’t you?”

He was truly curious what kind of woman could once again enter Shen Wen’s Dharma Eye.

Shen Wen’s status was already supremely noble.

Successor of the Pill Tower, Disciple of a Dou Sheng.

At the age of eighteen, he was already a Seventh-Rank Alchemist plus a Peak Dou Huang, and Elder Yao perceived that Shen Wen was only one step away from Dou Zong.

He could Break through at any moment.

Any woman who could enter his sight would likely not be simple.

But Qingshan Town was extremely remote.

“I wonder which beautiful lady has caught Nephew Shen’s eye this time?”

When Xiao Yan, who was standing nearby, heard “Qingshan Town,” his heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely had an ominous premonition.

Among the women in Qingshan Town, one who could be called special and potentially noticed by a figure like Shen Wen... the pure and ethereal white figure instantly flashed through his mind.

Just then, Shen Wen smiled and uttered the name: “Xiao Yi Xian.”

“Xiao Yi Xian?!”

Xiao Yan cried out in surprise, his expression changing instantly.

It really was her! He suddenly looked up at Shen Wen, his eyes filled with shock.

He and Xiao Yi Xian had fought side-by-side and faced dangers together in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Although they had not known each other for long, they had already formed a deep friendship.

Now, hearing that Shen Wen was actually going to take her as a concubine, his heart was instantly filled with mixed emotions.

Shen Wen took in Xiao Yan’s reaction but paid it no mind, merely explaining calmly, “Xiao Yi Xian possesses the Calamity Poison Body.

If this Physique is not controlled by the correct method, it will inevitably suffer a backlash in the Late Stage, causing monstrous disaster. Since I have a solution, naturally I cannot stand by and do nothing.

Taking her as a concubine, granting her protection, and helping her control the Poison Physique—for her, this is the best and only choice.”

Elder Yao heard this, his Soul body fluctuating slightly, and he realized, “Calamity Poison Body?

So that’s it. No wonder Nephew Shen takes this so seriously.”

Xiao Yan heard the unfamiliar term “Calamity Poison Body,” frowned deeply, looked at the illusory Elder Yao beside him, and asked softly, “Teacher, what exactly is the Calamity Poison Body?”

Elder Yao’s illusory face became serious. He slowly explained, “This is an extremely rare and domineering Physique.”

A person with this Physique does not need to Cultivate diligently like ordinary people; they only need to consume poison to convert the toxins into pure Dou Qi, and their cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary Cultivators.”

He paused slightly, a trace of recollection flashing in his eyes: “When I, your teacher, traveled the continent back then...

...I once encountered a woman who possessed the Calamity Poison Body. Her cultivation progress was astonishingly fast.”

Immediately, his tone turned heavy, “However, this Physique is also a dead end.

As more and stronger poisons are consumed, the toxicity accumulated within the body becomes increasingly terrifying, and one day it will completely lose control and erupt.

At that time, the Poison Physique owner’s consciousness will be annihilated, their surroundings will turn into a Deadly Poison Domain, causing widespread devastation, and they themselves will head toward destruction in endless pain.”

Xiao Yan’s mind was greatly shaken by what he heard, and his face paled slightly.

He was completely unable to connect Xiao Yi Xian’s gentle and kind appearance with such a terrifying fate.

He hurriedly pressed, “Teacher, is there really no way to save her?”

Elder Yao’s gaze turned toward Shen Wen, his brow still tightly furrowed: “Nephew Shen, since you know about this Physique and specifically sought her out, you must have a countermeasure?

Could it be the legendary Poison Pill Method that requires three types of Heavenly Flame and a Rank Seven Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast’s Demonic Core?”

When mentioning this method, even his tone carried a hint of uncertainty, simply because the requirements were too harsh, nearly impossible to achieve.

Shen Wen shook his head slightly and calmly uttered four words: “Netherworld Poison Flame.”

“Netherworld Poison Flame?”

Elder Yao, Xiao Yan, and even Yun Yun, who was meditating nearby, were all stunned, their faces revealing shock.

Elder Yao quickly reacted, his tone filled with doubt: “You mean... you intend to personally control this Netherworld Poison Flame?

And use the principle of poison and fire mutually restraining and generating each other to guide or suppress the toxins within Xiao Yi Xian’s body?”

He automatically interpreted this as a sacrifice by Shen Wen. “Nephew Shen, isn’t the cost of this action too great for you?

If you control such a cold and highly toxic flame, it might cause immeasurable hindrance to your future refinement of high-grade Medicinal Pills!”

Although medicine and poison are inseparable, the Netherworld Poison Flame’s toxicity is too strong. If used for Alchemy, it would be equivalent to forging an entirely new path.

In his opinion, a Seventh-Rank Alchemist with boundless prospects...

...a future Alchemy Dao Giant, being constrained by a niche poison flame would be equivalent to cutting off his own path.

However.

Shen Wen shook his head again, his tone still calm, but he threw out an answer that caused Elder Yao’s Soul body to fluctuate violently: “No, I will let her control the Netherworld Poison Flame herself.”

“What? Let her control it herself?!”

Elder Yao cried out in surprise, his illusory figure shaking incessantly.

“Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! The Calamity Poison Body is Innately poison-attributed,”

“...it clashes with fire. Forcibly refining a Heavenly Flame is no different from playing with fire and getting burned.

She will surely die! How violent is the power of a Heavenly Flame? How could an outsider assist in refining it?”
