NOVEL NEXT Accepting Little Fairy Doctor as Disciple
Cultivating by consuming poison, immune to all toxins, with drawbacks of a period of emitting highly lethal poisonous energy from the entire body—the Woeful Poison Body could be considered one of the strangest cultivation methods in the Dou Qi continent.
Those with this physique didn't need to spend years cultivating Dou Qi. To become stronger, they only needed to consume poisonous substances. Their Woeful Poison Body would transform the toxins into a unique type of poisonous Dou Qi.
The more potent the poison, the greater the benefit for their strength.
However, poison was still poison. Although their Woeful Poison Body could temporarily suppress the toxic effects, as they consumed more and more poison, there would come a time when the body could no longer contain the poison. They would slowly die in excruciating pain as the poisons ravaged their bodies.
This trait, which unintentionally harms others, made the naturally kind-hearted and naïve Little Fairy Doctor despised and feared as the Heavenly Poison Girl!
The Little Fairy Doctor looked over the man in front of her, her face flushing slightly. She thought Xiao Yan was handsome, but compared to the Pavilion Master, the difference was like night and day.
Li Xiao smiled gently. "Your name is Little Fairy Doctor, right? If I'm not mistaken, you're the possessor of Woeful Poison Body."
Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor's body trembled visibly.
How did he know about her physique? If she didn't reveal it, no one should know… Who exactly was this person?
"Don't be nervous. I mean no harm. If you're interested, you can stay and cultivate at Heaven Ascending Pavilion."
"Ah?" The Little Fairy Doctor was taken aback, unable to comprehend what this senior thinking. Did he want to use her as a test subject to study her Woeful Poison Body?
Linglong noticed her hesitation and reminded, "Little Fairy Doctor, didn't you understand the Pavilion Master's meaning? He is willing to take you as his disciple."
Upon hearing the word "disciple," the Little Fairy Doctor's expression grew serious. It wasn't that she looked down on Li Xiao; it was because of her bloodline. If her Woeful Poison Body were to erupt, everyone present could be affected.
The Little Fairy Doctor was gentle by nature. Her dearest wish was to save more lives and alleviate their suffering. She couldn't bear the thought of anyone dying because of her.
Li Xiao smiled softly. She truly was the kindest girl on the Dou Qi continent. Although he was only a six-star Dou Fighter currently, with the system's aid, reaching Dou God was only a matter of time. He wouldn't be leading her astray.
Moreover, he could provide her with pills to suppress the Woeful Poison Body, and perhaps even cure her completely.
He wouldn't miss out on a future Dou God powerhouse.
The Little Fairy Doctor bit her lip, looking into Li Xiao's sincere eyes. After a moment of internal struggle, she knelt down and kowtowed three times. "Disciple Little Fairy Doctor greets Master!"
"Good." Li Xiao waved his hand, and a tier-5 pill landed gently in her hand. "This is a highly toxic tier-5 pill. Given your current condition, you can only handle this level of poison. Anything stronger could cause your body to explode."
"Thank you, Master!" The Little Fairy Doctor's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at the pill. She had never expected to meet someone who genuinely cared for her. Now that she had, she felt warmth in her heart.
Li Xiao nodded slightly. The Little Fairy Doctor had great potential. With proper cultivation, she would become a formidable force.
"From now on, you will cultivate with Linglong."
Li Xiao patted her head. The cultivation speed inside Heaven Ascending Pavilion was several times that of the outside world. Cultivating here would definitely yield better results.
The next time she met Xiao Yan, she would likely far surpass the young genius.
"Master, actually, I've been targeted by Mr. Yao of Thousand Medicine House. I came out to gather herbs. If I don't return soon, he will send people to hunt me down..."
"Oh?" Li Xiao raised an eyebrow, dismissively saying, "Just a mere Thousand Medicine House. They're nothing to worry about. If they want to die, I don't mind destroying them."
The Little Fairy Doctor felt deeply moved. Was this the sense of security family provided?
What realm had her teacher reached?
Could he be one of the legendary Dou Emperor experts?
…
Somewhere in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, at a camp.
As the leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company, Mu She glared fiercely at the dismembered corpse of He Meng, his eyes burned with fury.
"Who did this? Who dared to attack my Wolf Head Mercenary Company?" Mu She roared. While He Meng wasn't exactly the brightest, he was still an eight-star Dou Fighter. Losing him was a significant blow to their group.
A trembling mercenary below him replied, "Reporting to the leader... According to our investigation, the third commander was pursuing Xiao Yan and passed through Sunset Valley to investigate, but he never came back..."
"What did you say!" Mu She's eyes widened. "Sunset Valley? How bold! The person who killed He Meng must pay with blood!"
"Gan Mu, take some men and check it out. If you find anyone suspicious, kill them. He Meng's death cannot go unavenged."
The sly man standing next to Mu She, the second commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Company Gan Mu, nodded heavily. He was a nine-star fighter, naturally deceitful and cunning, much like He Meng.
Now that the third commander had been killed, how could he sit idly by? Today, no matter what, he would make the enemy pay a heavy price. Otherwise, if word got out, others might think they were easy to bully.
Xiao Yan could be dealt with by others; avenging He Meng was the top priority!
…
That night, Gan Mu led a group of Dou Fighters to the outskirts of Sunset Valley. To avoid alerting their target, they decided to dismount and advance on foot.
However, just as they took their first steps into the area, the leading Dou Fighter was suddenly thrown backward uncontrollably. He exploded in mid-air, turning into blood mist.
Gan Mu was shocked. What had just happened? The expressions on the others' faces were also grim. They didn't even know how their comrade had died. Could this place be haunted?
"Don't panic! Someone is messing with us! I want to see who dares to make a move against us!" Gan Mu scolded, frowning as he drew a golden rod from his back, then ordered more people to go in and take a look.
"How dare you try to barge into the territory of Heaven Ascending Pavilion?!"
A flash of light, and Niu Meng, with his Dou Qi wings spread majestically, suddenly appeared before everyone.
Gan Mu was horrified, his breath quickening, "Dou... Dou King, you're actually a Dou King expert!"
He never imagined that the person before him was a Dou King. As a mere Dou Fighter, there were several ranks above him: Dou Master, Dou Grandmaster, Dou Spirit. The difference between each level was like night and day, not to mention three ranks higher. This was clearly a case of an egg hitting a rock!
