Bodhi Seed, Earth Core Pearl

The temperature within the altar escalated, and the Woeful Poison Body instinctively began to resist, as if sensing a threat.

In an instant, gray mist billowed out from Little Fairy Doctor's body like a tide, steadily eroding her vitality.

Under the corrosion of this woeful poison qi, Little Fairy Doctor's once delicate complexion instantly lost its color, becoming stiff and cold like frost. Only her tightly furrowed brows and violently trembling eyelashes showed that she was resisting the backlash of the Woeful Poison Body.

Seeing this, Cao Ying dared not hesitate. She raised her hand, and emerald green flames surged forth.

This was a Heavenly Flame formed by the fusion of the Green Lotus Core Flame, Sea Heart Flame, and Profound Yellow Flame.

Although the rankings of these three Heavenly Flames weren't particularly high, they perfectly met the requirements.

Gazing at Little Fairy Doctor, who was enveloped in the poisonous mist, Cao Ying swallowed, suppressing the unease in her heart. She pushed her palm forward, and the emerald green flames suddenly expanded, completely engulfing Little Fairy Doctor.

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!

As soon as the flames enveloped Little Fairy Doctor, the dense gray poisonous qi on her body immediately erupted with violent hissing sounds, as if encountering its nemesis. Then, it retreated like lightning, finally contracting completely back into Little Fairy Doctor's body!

A Heavenly Flame was the ultimate solution, possessing a natural suppression over woeful poison qi.

"Hiss!"

As the poisonous qi completely re-entered her body, Little Fairy Doctor's slightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open. Her originally grayish-purple pupils transformed completely into a pure gray, devoid of any rationality. An aura of death permeated from within her body. With a single movement, she was about to rush out of the altar!

Chen Xiao, who was observing, had been prepared. The moment her body moved, he shot up, his palm piercing through the scorching emerald green flames and pressing down on Little Fairy Doctor's fragrant shoulder, forcefully pushing her back down!

"Ying'er, continue!"

Cao Ying nodded heavily. Her hand seals changed immediately, controlling the Heavenly Flame to transform into countless tiny flames that directly penetrated Little Fairy Doctor's skin and surged into her body, madly chasing after the countless gray poisonous qi!

Under the natural suppression of the Heavenly Flame, the gray poisonous qi permeating Little Fairy Doctor's body began to rapidly retreat. Under Cao Ying's conscious control, all the poisonous qi converged towards Little Fairy Doctor's lower abdomen.

Eventually, the emerald green flames also gathered there, forming a ring of fire that completely trapped all the woeful poisonous qi within it.

Having completed this step, Cao Ying let out a long sigh of relief.

The suppression of the Heavenly Flame on the woeful poison qi was stronger than she had imagined. This expulsion step didn't consume much of her energy.

The vast poisonous qi, filled with the aura of death, was all concentrated in Little Fairy Doctor's lower abdomen. A slight perception revealed that it had formed a vortex, and each rotation emitted a suffocating pressure, as if connected to the entrance of the netherworld!

Facing such terrifying poisonous qi, even a powerful Dou Zun expert wouldn't dare to easily touch it. Yet, the flames formed by the fusion of the three Heavenly Flames were able to firmly contain it, preventing it from overflowing even a fraction.

The principle of mutual generation and restraint in this world was truly astounding.

"The poisonous qi has gathered. Take it with a Magic Core, transform it with Bodhi Transformation Saliva…"

Cao Ying had already memorized the specific method for condensing a Poison Pill. Sensing the gathered poisonous qi, she immediately took a deep breath, abruptly grabbed the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core, and slapped it onto Little Fairy Doctor's lower abdomen!

As the Magic Core touched Little Fairy Doctor's skin, it instantly emitted a profound glow, slowly seeping into her body as if it were alive.

Under their gazes, this Magic Core strangely penetrated the skin and flesh, directly entering the swirling gray poisonous qi vortex and settling firmly at its core, as if to become the central hub controlling this deathly power.

Witnessing the Magic Core successfully entering the body, Cao Ying's expression grew even more solemn.

Her gaze was fixed on the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, which glowed with a moist luster in the jade box beside her. Next was the final step of her guided condensation!

At the same time, this Bodhi Transformation Saliva was also the key to resolving the crisis of the Woeful Poison Body and turning the tide!

Cao Ying gently hooked her finger, and an invisible suction force carried the lustrous mass of Bodhi Transformation Saliva from the jade box into her palm.

Her eyes sharp as lightning, a wisp of emerald green flame separated from Little Fairy Doctor's body, tightly encasing the Bodhi Transformation Saliva like a cage.

At this instant, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva was stimulated, wildly churning and twisting within the flames, like a trapped beast trying to break free.

Cao Ying's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Her slender hand clenched, and the emerald green flames suddenly flared, their temperature soaring to an extreme, causing the surrounding air to distort.

Under the scorching heat of these all-consuming flames, despite its vigorous resistance, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva ultimately could not withstand the power of the Heavenly Flame.

After only two or three minutes, the struggles of the Bodhi Transformation Saliva gradually subsided. A hazy glow appeared on its surface, as if it had shed its wildness, waiting to unleash its miraculous effect of turning the tide.

Seeing this, Cao Ying instantly felt a sense of relief.

At least, every step she had taken was without error.

Whether the Poison Pill could be condensed now depended entirely on Little Fairy Doctor!

"Oh?"

Just as Cao Ying was about to withdraw the Bodhi Transformation Saliva from the flames, she was surprised to find numerous emerald green dust particles being refined out from within the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.

These dust particles slowly fell, but did not completely detach from the mass of Bodhi Transformation Saliva. Instead, they continuously gathered at its bottom, and in a blink of an eye, formed a small, emerald green bead no larger than a thumb.

The moment this emerald green bead formed, the Bodhi Transformation Saliva also trembled slightly, as if laying an egg, squeezing the bead out of its body.

With curiosity in her heart, Cao Ying caught it. Without time to examine it closely, she temporarily handed it to Chen Xiao. Then, she pulled the mass of Bodhi Transformation Saliva from the flames and pressed it firmly onto Little Fairy Doctor's smooth, flat lower abdomen.

As the refined Bodhi Transformation Saliva entered her dantian, a burst of emerald green, brimming with life force, erupted like a new sprout breaking through the soil.

This verdant energy spread through Little Fairy Doctor's body like a prairie fire, completely enveloping her in a jade-like torrent within a few breaths!

Fine emerald green liquid permeated Little Fairy Doctor's skin and muscles, like countless agile life spirits moving throughout her body. Nourished by this spiritual essence, Little Fairy Doctor's meridians, which had been riddled with holes by the poisonous qi, began to glow with a moist luster again. Her atrophied muscles relaxed as if touched by spring rain, and her previously dim vitality surged at a visible rate. The newfound vigor was more vibrant than ever, as if every cell was cheering for its rebirth!

Seeing this scene, both Chen Xiao and Cao Ying let out long breaths.

Cao Ying curved two fingers and quickly tapped Little Fairy Doctor's lower abdomen. As her fingers tapped, the emerald green fire ring surrounding the gray qi vortex immediately split open a gap. Streams of emerald green liquid rapidly drilled through the gap, finally rushing into the gray poisonous qi vortex with subtle gurgling sounds.

The moment the emerald Bodhi Transformation Saliva touched the gray mist, it was like a massive rock thrown into a deep pool. The entire deathly poisonous miasma instantly boiled!

The thick, inky gray qi surged wildly, stirring up waves of foul wind. But with each surge, threads of vitality, like silver needles, pierced in, shattering and neutralizing the deathly aura within, causing faint emerald green veins to begin appearing and intertwining within the originally suffocating poisonous miasma, growing like withered wood brought back to life.

"Xian'er, circulate your Dou Qi, compress the poisonous energy, and condense it into a Poison Pill!"

Cao Ying had finished all she could do, and Chen Xiao called out softly, his voice imbued with Soul Power, thundering into Little Fairy Doctor's soul.

Prompted by Chen Xiao, Little Fairy Doctor, who had almost completely lost her rationality, suddenly regained some clarity. She immediately circulated her Dou Qi, following the Poison Pill method she knew by heart, and began to gradually compress the vast vortex of poisonous energy!

Driven by Little Fairy Doctor, the poisonous energy vortex finally began to converge towards the Magic Core at its center.

Under the impact of the poisonous energy, the Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core also began to release violent energy, attempting to resist the erosion of the poison. The two forces collided with a thunderous roar, creating a chaotic clash as if the world were just beginning.

*Bang!*

A muffled thud distorted space. The energy released by the Magic Core rapidly disintegrated under the strangulation of the Woeful Poison Body's energy, completely devoured like a candle flame caught in a gale.

Immediately, an eerie gray light spread along the Magic Core's patterns, melting its originally angular shape into a perfectly spherical orb, its surface gleaming like a deep abyss.

The poisonous energy vortex transformed into a seemingly endless winch, forcibly compressing massive amounts of Woeful Poison Body energy into the gray core.

As more Dou Qi surged in like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, this Magic Core, condensed with the power of life and death, actually began to grow in reverse. Its volume slowly but steadily contracted, each reduction accompanied by spatial tremors, as if it were nurturing a supreme Poison Pill capable of overturning heaven and earth!

Perceiving the orderly scene within Little Fairy Doctor's body, Cao Ying withdrew her Heavenly Flame, a relaxed smile appearing on her pretty face.

She knew perfectly well that the many benefits Chen Xiao had provided were all for this day.

Now, she had finally fulfilled Chen Xiao's expectations and lived up to his trust.

With her taut mind relaxed, Cao Ying's aura also began to plummet at a visible rate. In an instant, she no longer possessed any power, becoming like a completely ordinary person.

The side effects of the Elixir began to show, making her face subtly pale, yet the smile on her face was one of genuine relief.

"Chen Xiao, I didn't disappoint you, did I?"

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly, stepped forward, and helped her up, letting her lean gently against him, using his body as support.

"Xian'er and I have always believed you could do it. It was true then, it's true now, and it will be true in the future."

In fact, the true difficulty in condensing the Poison Pill for Little Fairy Doctor had always been the preparation process.

Three Heavenly Flames, Bodhi Transformation Saliva, a seventh-tier Heavenly Poison Scorpion Dragon Beast Magic Core…

Each of these conditions was not easy to meet.

Unless one was a chosen one, or like him, someone who had read the script, even with Dou Zun strength, it would be difficult to meet the conditions.

Of course, Cao Ying, who carried the three Heavenly Flames, was indispensable. Now that it was time for the final reckoning, Chen Xiao naturally had to say pleasant things.

Moreover, it wasn't

a lie.

This was indeed a trust worth entrusting.

Listening to Chen Xiao's words, Cao Ying's smile grew even wider, the curve of her eyes like they were dipped in honey, even her eyebrows tinged with cheerfulness.

The feeling of being recognized was always so pleasant.

Smiling, Cao Ying, propping up her somewhat weak body, walked to Little Fairy Doctor.

At this moment, no more poisonous energy overflowed from Little Fairy Doctor's body. Her skin, which had been somewhat pale from the erosion of the Woeful Poison Body's energy, was now radiating a healthy, rosy glow.

She glanced up and down Little Fairy Doctor's slightly exposed abdomen, then turned back and gave Chen Xiao a half-smile, teasing expression, her enchanting nature fully revealed.

After a long while, Cao Ying finally took out a black dress and gently draped it over Little Fairy Doctor's delicate body.

However, because the black dress wasn't wide enough, it couldn't cover everything, instead creating a teasing "half-hidden" look.

Such a scene, for a normal man, brought even greater temptation than before…

Chen Xiao strongly suspected the enchantress was doing it on purpose. He immediately hurried forward, took out a wide black robe from his Storage Ring, and completely covered Little Fairy Doctor's body.

"Xian'er is at a critical point right now, don't disturb her."

Chen Xiao pulled the enchantress aside and went to the location of the Earth Eye.

Looking inside, he could only see endless darkness within the Earth Eye. As for where this Earth Eye led, no one but its creator probably knew.

Noticing Chen Xiao's actions, Cao Ying suddenly remembered that one of the things he had promised Ye Zhong was to solve the problem of the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.

"You know why the Sun Fire isn't coming out?"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, not hiding anything. He said, "The reason the Sun Fire hasn't appeared from this Sun Fire Ancient Altar all these years isn't because its energy is exhausted. On the contrary, it's precisely because the Fire Attribute energy here is too concentrated. It has even formed a substantial liquid within the Earth Eye, blocking it. It just needs a little clearing, and then the Sun Fire will naturally be able to emerge."

"You're not going to go down and clear it, are you? It's very dangerous, and that width won't even fit you."

"No need for such trouble."

Chen Xiao shook his head slightly and immediately sat down cross-legged.

The next moment, vast Soul Power surged from between his brows and drilled into the Earth Eye.

Chen Xiao controlled his Soul Power, carefully probing downwards into the pitch-black Earth Eye. After an unknown amount of time, a burning sensation came from within his soul.

At the same time, Chen Xiao also noticed a red glow appearing in his soul's vision.

This red glow was emitted by a viscous, blood-red liquid of unknown composition. These liquids were spherical, like large blood cells, piled together, completely blocking the Earth Eye.

And within this mass of viscous blood-colored liquid, a thumb-sized, perfectly round, blood-red pearl floated, its light the most dazzling!

"Earth Core Pearl!"

Seeing what he wanted, Chen Xiao's heart filled with joy.

The Earth Core Pearl is also known as the Earth Core Fire Pearl.

This item is a special energy orb formed from the essence of energies deep within the earth, condensed over countless years.

Within this orb lies an incredibly vast amount of energy. It's said that when refining some eighth-grade or even ninth-grade elixirs, this item is used!

The Earth Core Pearl, such a miraculous item, is usually hidden deep within the earth and extremely difficult to find. Occasionally, during volcanic eruptions, deeply buried Earth Core Pearls are ejected.

Most of the commonly seen Earth Core Pearls on the continent are obtained through this method.

This item has many uses and is quite valuable. Chen Xiao knew that an Earth Core Pearl had formed within the Sun Fire Ancient Altar, which is why he proactively offered to help the Ye Family solve the problems with the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.

Otherwise, given the Ye Family's current situation, simply showing them a clear path forward, Ye Zhong would most likely not refuse Chen Xiao's request to use the Sun Fire Ancient Altar.

Looking at the Earth Core Pearl, Chen Xiao didn't rush to put it away.

The Fire Attribute energy within this earth eye was so dense that his soul felt a stinging pain. It was easy to imagine that the temperature within that pile of blood-red viscous liquid would only be even higher.

However, under Chen Xiao's observation, he noticed that the red glow emitted by the viscous liquid flickered, alternately bright and dim. It was hottest when bright and relatively more comfortable when dim.

Having grasped this pattern, Chen Xiao quietly adapted to the rhythm of the viscous liquid's flickering light.

After two or three minutes, once he confirmed that the viscous liquid would not undergo any further changes, at the instant its light dimmed, Chen Xiao decisively made his move. His Soul Power shot out like lightning, rushing into the blood-red liquid to envelop the Earth Core Pearl. Enduring the burning pain it emitted, he bolted towards the exit to the surface without looking back.

*Boom!*

It was only then that the blood-red liquid, as if stimulated, transformed into a torrent of blood and chased after the Earth Core Pearl.

Unfortunately, a step too slow meant every step was too slow. Chen Xiao had already retracted his Soul Power a step ahead, and the Earth Core Pearl was now in his hand.

Watching the rapidly approaching blood-red liquid, Cao Ying used all her might to push the stone tablet into the earth eye, blocking it completely.

In the final moment before the earth eye was blocked, both of them saw that, without the Earth Core Pearl, the viscous liquid seemed to have lost its core support. It was unable to maintain its spherical shape and quickly disintegrated.

And without their obstruction, the Sun Fire Ancient Altar returning to its former state would be just around the corner.

"Phew... This broken stone tablet, why is it so heavy? Is this the Earth Core Fire Pearl?"

Cao Ying collapsed onto the ground without any regard for her image, panting a few times before her gaze fixed on the orb in Chen Xiao's hand.

As a qualified Alchemist, identifying treasures and objects was just basic skill.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly and handed the Earth Core Pearl directly to her.

"You keep it. The Earth Core Pearl can attract surrounding Fire Attribute energy to continuously gather. Me carrying it would be like a Fire Attribute person wearing Ice Spirit Jade—more harm than good."

This was another item that was useless for his current build.

Cao Ying didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

"Then I won't be polite. This thing indeed has a significant effect for me before I reach eighth-grade. Once I reach eighth-grade, I'll use it to refine an eighth-grade elixir for you."

Chen Xiao nodded, not dwelling on the matter.

Compared to the Earth Core Pearl, the Bodhi Seed refined from the Bodhi Transformation Saliva earlier—that was the real good stuff!

*Boom!*

Just as the two of them finished speaking, an earth-shattering collision suddenly came from the direction of the Ye Family's main hall.

"Are there Dou Zong powerhouses fighting?" Cao Ying's expression changed slightly.

Such a massive commotion meant that the people fighting must be of the Dou Zong rank!

She wasn't worried about her own safety. Even if she couldn't use any of her strength, just by virtue of being the Cao Clan Enchantress and a direct disciple of Xuan Kongzi, few people in the Pill Domain would dare to touch her.

What's more, Chen Xiao and others were by her side.

She was only worried that Little Fairy Doctor was currently at a critical juncture in condensing her Poison Pill. If she were disturbed...

It was highly likely that all her efforts would be for naught!

"Let's go take a look!"
