Poison Pill Method Activated

"Earth Rank Intermediate Soul Secret Technique?! This soul fusion method is indeed quite strange, but this kind of Cultivation Method that forcibly devours souls obviously has considerable drawbacks. Perhaps it can make one's strength soar in a short period of time, but to be honest, if I were to use this, I might as well risk using the third move of the Asura Soul Severing Technique. My soul is already at the Spirit Realm, so perhaps it won't be like last time. Forget it, let's sell it."

"Seventh Order Magic Core? Useful, but not much."

Zi Yan watched Xiao Yan muttering to himself, saying it was useless, but shamelessly putting everything into her Storage Ring.

"Hey, Xiao Yan, you can't take it all for yourself. Little Fairy Doctor and I both contributed." Zi Yan reached out to stop Xiao Yan from taking the last wooden box. Zi Yan was dissatisfied; he was taking everything for himself.

"You can't use these Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques. What do you want them for?" Xiao Yan said unhappily. Magical Beasts have their own cultivation methods. Although there are Dou Techniques that Magical Beasts can cultivate, most Dou Techniques don't support Magical Beast cultivation.

"I can use them to exchange for Medicinal Herbs," Zi Yan said with a smile.

"One."

"Three."

"Fine."

In an instant, the big and small pair came to an agreement. Xiao Yan gave Zi Yan three Seven Grade Medicinal Herbs, and Zi Yan was satisfied, feeling that she hadn't worked for nothing.

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly and picked up the last seemingly ordinary bamboo slip.

The bamboo slip was gray-brown, and the material seemed very ordinary, but Xiao Yan knew that anything Di Mo Lao Gui kept here would not be ordinary. Gently untying the thin thread on the bamboo slip, Xiao Yan slowly unfolded it. Then, a bloody, large character filled with ruthlessness appeared before his eyes, causing his heart to jump.

"Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

"Heavenly Demon Puppet, this method is neither a Cultivation Method nor an ordinary Dou Technique, but a puppet technique passed down from ancient times. To refine a Heavenly Demon Puppet, three things are needed: a body, a Soul, and a Magic Core. Use the body as a vessel, the Soul as a guide, and the Magic Core as the heart, and then add many materials to finally create a demon puppet. Demon puppets are divided into three grades: Heaven, Earth, and Human. The difference in grade depends on the refining materials and the refining fire. They are infinitely powerful, without joy or sorrow, without pain or injury. They are truly a killing machine."

Seeing this introduction, Great Elder suddenly understood, "No wonder there is a Seventh Order Magic Core here. That Di Mo Lao Gui must have been preparing to refine this Heavenly Demon Puppet."

Xiao Yan then smiled. Wasn't this just a coincidence? Di Mo Lao Gui's Soul was in the Soul Token, and he had thoughtfully prepared a Magic Core for Xiao Yan.

Although Di Mo Lao Gui's body had been poisoned into corpse water by Little Fairy Doctor, and Mo Tianxing had self-destructed, the Eagle Mountain Old Man's body was still there, only his head had been blown off by Zi Yan, which shouldn't have much impact.

It was estimated that Di Mo Lao Gui would never have dreamed that the Heavenly Demon Puppet refining method he had collected would one day use his own Soul as a material.

"Let's go, there's nothing else here. Xiao Yu, in a few days, have Xiao City send someone to take inventory and donate some to the academy," Xiao Yan knew about donations.

"I understand," Xiao Yu nodded.

"You kid, so be it. This old man will thank you for your kindness on behalf of the academy's many students," Great Elder Su Qian stroked his beard, very satisfied with Xiao Yan's generosity.

After Xiao Yan walked out of the stone cave, he saw Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and others waiting early. These two could be considered veterans of Xiao Hall. They greeted Xiao Yan warmly upon seeing him, and Xiao Yan also did his best as a host to entertain them.

In the spacious and bright hall, the atmosphere was slightly suppressed and excited. Several gazes filled with various emotions were focused on the youth sitting on the chair in the hall.

There were not many people in the hall, just a few, and they were all familiar faces. Apart from Xin Lan, the others were all people who had entered the Inner Academy at the same time as Xiao Yan. Of course, some had already graduated, such as Wu Hao and Hu Jia, who had stayed in the academy as Elders.

Xiao Mei stood obediently beside Xiao Yan, the teapot in her hand spilling a line of water as she carefully poured it into the teacup in front of him. Due to her slight bow, a tempting patch of snow-white was inadvertently revealed, dazzling the eyes.

Xiao Yan didn't look sideways. After Xiao Mei finished pouring the tea and straightened up, he smiled at her with a wandering gaze. Then, he swept his gaze over the people in the hall and said with a smile, "Everyone, sit down. We're all family, why be so polite? How have you all been these years?"

For a time, everyone began to talk about their heroic deeds over the years. When Xiao Yan heard that his statue had been smashed by Cai Lin, who had come out of the tower, he was choked by the water and coughed. He was speechless at Cai Lin's behavior.

"Are you really the legendary genius Alchemist Xiao Yan?" While Xiao Yan was chatting with everyone and talking about the past, Xin Lan, who had been staring at him with a strange gaze, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Legendary is an exaggeration. At least I'm still alive," Xiao Yan laughed.

Hearing this, and confirming that it was indeed Xiao Yan, Xin Lan bit her lip lightly, as if she had something to say. Just as she was about to speak, Vice President Hu Qian appeared in the hall in a flash.

Seeing Hu Qian's appearance, Xiao Yan's aura seemed to change in an instant. A serious and sharp aura erupted from his eyes.

"I know that the Pill you want to refine is definitely not as simple as a Seven Grade low-level Pill, so I discussed it with the Two Elders Qian and Bai and will activate the Books Collection Pavilion's guardian formation. You can refine Pills with peace of mind," Hu Qian said in a deep voice.

Xiao Yan cupped his hands at Hu Qian and said, "Xiao Yan thanks Vice President."

Xiao Yan turned his head to look at Little Fairy Doctor, who was sitting quietly to the side. Little Fairy Doctor slowly stood up and nodded. She also knew that time was of the essence.

"Xiao Yan," Xiao Yu suddenly grabbed Xiao Yan's sleeve.

"Don't worry, it's just refining a Pill. Haven't you seen me refine Pills before?" Xiao Yan patted the back of Xiao Yu's hand lightly.

Of course, Xiao Yu had seen Xiao Yan refine Pills, but this was the first time she had seen him with such a solemn expression! Was this really ordinary Pill Refining? "Xin Lan, if you have anything to say, wait until I come back after refining the Pill," Xiao Yan also noticed that Xin Lan had something to say to him, but now Xiao Yan didn't have the mind to think about other things.

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Xin Lan understood that she could not compare to Little Fairy Doctor, no matter how urgent her matter was, so she nodded.

With the speed of Xiao Yan and the other two, they arrived inside the Books Collection Pavilion in less than a quarter of an hour.

Outside the gate of the Books Collection Pavilion, the two old men, Qian Mu and Bai Lie, who guarded the Books Collection Pavilion back then, were still standing at the door as always.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that after so many years, we would actually meet another owner of the Calamity Poison Body. It's really surprising," Qian Mu said with some emotion.

"Alas, but it's a pity... Every owner of the Calamity Poison Body has almost the same ending in the end. Born in misfortune, die in misfortune," Bai Lie also sighed with some sentimentality.

After all, the Calamity Poison Body has quite a reputation in the Dou Qi Continent, but it's not a good reputation.

Xiao Yan smiled, a confident expression on his face, and said, "Elder Qian, Elder Bai, then from today onwards, you will see the second ending of the Calamity Poison Body."

Slowly resuming updates, apart from a bit of a cough, my physical condition is still good.
