Hidden Dungeon, Here It Comes! [Seeking Investment and Votes]

Listening to Little Fairy Doctor's sobs, Xiao Yan felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. He didn't actually want to tell Little Fairy Doctor about the Poison Pill Method so quickly.

The best outcome, of course, would be for Little Fairy Doctor to be able to restrain her addiction to consuming poison, but the results often went against his wishes.

Now that he had told Little Fairy Doctor about the existence of the Poison Pill Method, it was equivalent to telling her that she could eat poison to her heart's content, unafraid because of the Poison Pill Method.

Xiao Yan's biggest worry was that Little Fairy Doctor, without any concerns, would no longer suppress her 'appetite', constantly consuming poison, and then the accumulation of toxins would lead to the premature outbreak of the Calamity Poison Body.

Moreover, Xiao Yan knew that this Poison Pill Method was actually just a temporary measure and could not completely control the Calamity Poison Body.

According to the specific steps in the Poison Pill Method scroll, it involved using three Strange Flames to refine the toxins in the body, along with the Magic Core of the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast and the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, into a Poison Pill. It was essentially treating the Calamity Poison Body as a Pill Furnace, performing an Alchemic refinement to turn all the toxins into a single pill.

As an Alchemist, Xiao Yan naturally understood that the principle of the Poison Pill Method was actually Alchemic refinement; the Poison Pill Method was just a pill formula for a peak Seventh Grade Pill.

Therefore, Xiao Yan understood even more that this Poison Pill Method was just a temporary measure and could not completely solve the Calamity Poison Body.

The Poison Dou Qi of the Calamity Poison Body would cause problems when it accumulated to the Dou Zong level, with the risk of explosion at any time. Seventh Grade Pills were precisely for Dou Zongs to use.

In other words, the Poison Pill could only absorb toxins below the peak Dou Zong level. Once Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation surpassed Dou Zong and reached Dou Zun, then the Poison Pill would begin to be unable to withstand it.

After all, the pills used by Dou Zuns were Eighth Grade Pills, and the difference between Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade was not small. To refine Eighth Grade Pills, the Soul Realm had to reach the Spirit Realm, so one could imagine the difference.

Currently, Xiao Yan had searched through all the books in his Storage Ring, but there was no way to completely solve the Calamity Poison Body.

Xiao Yan didn't want to watch Little Fairy Doctor die in front of him in the end, without any way to help.

He gently patted Little Fairy Doctor's head and said softly, "Breakfast is a bit late tonight."

Hearing this, Little Fairy Doctor came back to her senses, slowly took two steps back, and blushed when she saw that Xiao Yan's clothes were wet. She said softly, "Thank you, Xiao Yan."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to thank me for. There are still too many things missing. We've only taken the first step. I've only successfully refined Fourth Grade Pills once, and the other two items are nowhere to be found."

"Alas, it's a pity that I couldn't find the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame this time in the Magical Beast Mountain Range."

Although the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire also belonged to the Strange Flame, it was still too weak when it was just born, and its power was far inferior to the Bone Spirit Cold Flame.

Xiao Yan estimated that the Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire would have to grow to the point where it could burn Sixth Rank Magical Beasts to death before it could be considered to have reached the true power of a Strange Flame.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Little Fairy Doctor understood why Xiao Yan had come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"So you have to control yourself and don't be too greedy. Remember to wait until I collect three Strange Flames and become a Seventh Grade Alchemist to refine that Poison Pill for you," Xiao Yan earnestly advised.

Looking at Xiao Yan's serious expression as he urged her, a warm current flowed through Little Fairy Doctor's heart. She wiped away the tears from her pretty face, sniffed her delicate nose, and secretly vowed in her heart: "No matter what happens in the future, in front of you, I will still be Little Fairy Doctor from Green Mountain Town."

...

Seven days passed in a flash. To Xiao Yan's relief, Little Fairy Doctor's cultivation had not improved at all in these seven days.

Watching Little Fairy Doctor happily carrying a small flower basket to collect herbs, Xiao Yan also prepared to return to the Small Mountain Cave to continue refining pills. In these seven days, Xiao Yan had once again refined a Fourth Grade healing pill with the help of the Black Demon.

Only when Xiao Yan could freely control it would he be considered to have completely mastered the Black Demon.

*Boom!!* Suddenly, a loud noise came from the sky. At this moment, at the entrance of the Small Mountain Valley, a behemoth appeared in the clouds. When this behemoth appeared, the temperature of the Small Mountain Valley rose sharply.

An extremely hot purple flame rose up, as if a purple sun had appeared at the entrance of the Small Mountain Valley, and even the clouds were dispelled.

"Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King!!" When Xiao Yan looked up and saw the giant beast releasing purple flames all over its body, he immediately knew what kind of existence it was!

Sixth Rank Magical Beast—Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King!

When Xiao Yan truly faced the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King head-on, he realized what kind of power a Sixth Rank Magical Beast possessed.

If Yun Yun hadn't led the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King away back then, Xiao Yan would have been reduced to ashes with just a flap of its wings! This was the terror of a Sixth Rank Magical Beast, a terrifying existence that even Yun Yun, the Yunlan Sect Master, might not be able to defeat! Little Fairy Doctor hurriedly dropped her flower basket and ran to Xiao Yan's side, tightly holding the most poisonous poison powder she had prepared in her hand. She knew that this poison powder might be able to poison ordinary Third Rank Magical Beasts, but it was absolutely ineffective against the Sixth Rank Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King.

But she still didn't run away, but chose to stand by Xiao Yan's side.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists. With Yun Yun not here, he had no way to deal with a Sixth Rank Magical Beast. Even if he could use the Soul Token to transmit sound with his Soul, consuming Soul Points to have a Dou Huang expert from the Soul Palace come to save him.

But by the time the Dou Huang from the Soul Palace arrived at the Small Mountain Valley, he would probably be reduced to ashes.

With a loud *boom*, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King landed heavily in the valley, and the terrifying heat wave almost overturned Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor.

This was the first time Xiao Yan had seen the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King so closely, only less than three meters away.

Truly facing a Sixth Rank Magical Beast and watching from a distance were completely different feelings. Xiao Yan's hair was standing on end.

Death was so close to him! Not only the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King, but even the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King was there.

Being watched by two top Magical Beasts, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes. He could even feel his heart beating wildly. He took a slow, deep breath, slowly calming himself down.

The only one who can save himself now is himself!

"Since the Lion King doesn't mind gracing my humble abode, Little Fairy Doctor, no need to add anything else. Go pick some fine medicinal herb nectar and brew a pot of medicinal tea to entertain the Lion King properly." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, speaking to the Little Fairy Doctor beside him.

The Little Fairy Doctor looked surprised. You want me to make tea at a time like this? And you're hinting for me not to add poison! The Little Fairy Doctor nodded solemnly and said, "No matter what happens, I won't abandon you."

Xiao Yan nodded with a faint smile but didn't say anything.

"Human, you have some nerve. That Dou Huang woman is gone, and you still dare to stay in the Magical Beast Mountain Range! You even stole my Symbiotic Purple Source Crystal!!" The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King revealed a look of anger, and an astonishing killing intent locked onto Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan just smiled calmly and said, "If the Lion King only wanted to kill me to vent anger, then this young one wouldn't have the chance to chat idly with the Lion King, and this place would have long turned into a scene of purgatory."

"Moreover, although this young one is not talented, I am now only a Fourth Grade Alchemist, but I also have a small reputation in the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire. If the Lion King kills me, this Soul Token will transmit the matter to the Alchemist Guild's president through Soul transmission."

"I believe killing a Fourth Grade Alchemist is harmful and not beneficial to the Lion King."

Xiao Yan played with the Soul Token in his fingers. The Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King could naturally sense that the Soul Token in Xiao Yan's hand was no ordinary object but a Soul tool that could transmit Soul information.

It had heard that Alchemists could transmit Soul information to have some powerful figures who owed them favors come to their rescue.

Of course, Xiao Yan was purely bluffing, no, bluffing the lion.

Although he had refined a Fourth Grade Pill, he had not joined the Alchemist Guild, not even gone for an evaluation, and didn't even know who the president of the Gama Empire's Alchemist Guild was.

"Hahaha! You're threatening me? Just a Fourth Grade Alchemist, I don't believe the Gama Empire would start a war with me for a Fourth Grade Alchemist." A terrifying pressure instantly suppressed Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan instantly activated Lion's Roar to protect his body, and Soul force burst out to resist the pressure.

With his hands behind his back, Xiao Yan faced the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's pressure head-on. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually frantically mobilizing his Soul force to resist.

If it weren't for the benefit of the Spirit Heart Soul Gathering Art, which allowed Xiao Yan's Soul Realm to reach Mortal Realm Mid-Level late stage, he would probably be kneeling now.

A moment later, the Little Fairy Doctor's voice came from the Thatched Cottage, "Xiao Yan, the tea is ready."

Xiao Yan smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Why not move to my humble abode for a taste of medicinal tea?"

After a moment of silence, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's eyes narrowed, and finally, it slowly withdrew its pressure. Its body, originally tens of meters huge, also slowly shrank to only three meters huge.

As expected, the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King didn't come for the Symbiotic Purple Source Crystal.

Could it be for that thing?

Regarding the matter of going on the shelves, I don't plan to do it so quickly for the time being. I plan to write for another week or two, with more free chapters.

I only ask that on the first day of going on the shelves, I can get everyone's subscription support. The subscription on the first day of going on the shelves (first subscription) is too important.

Being able to turn on automatic subscription and subscribe to the chapters on the first day would be a great kindness. ORZ
