Outside the wall, all was silent; inside, the fire of battle raged.
Xiao Yan and the others were overjoyed after noticing the Aura of a Dou Huang soaring into the sky. This proved that Xiao Yi Xian had not only perfectly devoured the Netherworld Poison Flame but had also taken advantage of the opportunity where the Netherworld Poison Flame combined with the Calamity Poison Body to Breakthrough from a One-Star Dou Wang to a Dou Huang in one fell swoop.
However, Xiao Yan and the others waited in place for another hour and a half, yet they did not hear Chen Yang's voice calling them, so they naturally could not just head over casually.
"What's going on? Nothing could have happened to Sister-in-law Xiao Yixian, right?" Xiao Yan looked at Yao Lao with some concern.
"Stupid boy, what are you worrying about?" Yao Lao stroked his beard and rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan. "Doesn't one need to consolidate their cultivation after a Breakthrough? Do you think everyone is like you, skipping levels like eating and drinking?"
Xiao Yan reached out and scratched his head upon hearing this, thinking that it was true.
Only when he was a Dou Practitioner and a Dou Master did he settle for a few days after a Breakthrough before officially becoming a One-Star Dou Zhe or Dou Master.
From the time he became a Great Dou Master, he had never experienced what it was like to be at 'zero stars.'
When he advanced from a Dou Master to a Great Dou Master, he had devoured the Purple Flame and used the accompanying purple crystal source along with Chen Yang's Medicinal Pill to advance directly to a Three-Star Great Dou Master.
From a Great Dou Master to a Dou Ling, he had similarly devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame and used the earth fire lotus seed to advance directly to a Three-Star Dou Ling.
From a Dou Ling to a Dou Wang, although the earth fire green lotus pill had pushed him to Dou Wang bit by bit over three months, at the moment of Breakthrough, he had gone directly from the Peak of a Nine-Star Dou Ling to a One-Star Dou Wang, never experiencing the 'zero star' stage in between.
So Yao Lao's words were indeed correct.
Thus, Xiao Yan stopped worrying and sat cross-legged on the ground, continuing to organize his understanding of Alchemy Skill.
Now that he had entered the Dou Wang rank, his cultivation speed had slowed down significantly, but it wasn't without progress.
Every time he refined a Medicinal Pill, he felt his strength moving forward. According to Yao Lao, if he maintained this speed, he should be able to Breakthrough to a Two-Star Dou Wang in another ten to fifteen days. Breakthroughing a star every two months was already an extremely fast speed at the Dou Wang rank... On the other side, after over an hour of 'battle,' Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang with a hint of resentment and took out a set of white robes from her storage ring to put on.
She had naturally discovered that her three thousand strands of black hair had turned white. She had originally felt a bit of regret in her heart, but she hadn't expected that Chen Yang would actually like this style.
"Fortunately, *that* place... didn't turn white, otherwise it would really be embarrassing to death!" Xiao Yi Xian murmured in her heart, rolled her eyes at Chen Yang again, and then stepped forward to help Chen Yang dress.
"Xian'er, you are so beautiful!" Chen Yang took out a hairpin from his storage ring, put it on Xiao Yi Xian, and said softly.
"As long as husband likes it!" Xiao Yi Xian smiled softly. At this moment, her heart was filled with a feeling called happiness.
The Calamity Poison Body was completely resolved, her cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and her husband loved her even more. How could this not be the greatest happiness?
After holding Xiao Yi Xian and being intimate for a few minutes, Xiao Yi Xian took the initiative to push Chen Yang away: "Qing Lin, Brother Yan, and the others are still waiting. We shouldn't delay for too long!"
Chen Yang nodded with some reluctance upon hearing this, but he didn't dwell on it. The days he would spend with Xiao Yi Xian were still long; there would be plenty of time in the future!
Thus, Chen Yang waved his hand to disperse the earth wall and called out loudly to Xiao Yan and the others.
Xiao Yan, Yao Lao, and Qing Lin hurried over upon hearing him. Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's white hair, the few of them asked about it with some concern.
Upon learning that Xiao Yi Xian's hair had turned white because of her Cultivation Technique and the Heavenly Flame, the few of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Xian'er, you look so beautiful like this!" Qing Lin grabbed Chen Yang's hand and said with a face full of envy.
"Qing Lin is also becoming more and more beautiful now." Xiao Yi Xian smiled. Seeing that Qing Lin and Xiao Yan were still using Heavenly Flames to resist the poison here, she raised her jade hand and gave a gentle wave.
Immediately, all the poisonous gas dissipated in the space was gathered into her hand and refined in an instant.
"There, now you don't have to use Heavenly Flames to resist the poisonous gas anymore!" Xiao Yi Xian said with a charming smile as she reached out to rub Qing Lin's small head.
Xiao Yan and Chen Yang slowly withdrew their Heavenly Flames upon seeing this. After realizing that they indeed no longer needed the Heavenly Flames for protection, Xiao Yan once again felt admiration for Xiao Yi Xian's Calamity Poison Body.
People like Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian, who were favored by the heavens, were truly uniquely endowed!
"It must be said that although this place is filled with poison that even a Dou Zong would fear, for Sister-in-law Xiao Yixian, it is a rare and precious training ground!" Xiao Yan looked around and said with a face full of emotion.
"This should be the resting place of that Calamity Poison Body user who controlled the Netherworld Poison Flame back then, right?" Yao Lao floated out and said while looking around pensively.
"That's right. According to the records in the Heavenly Poison Sacred Codex I obtained, this is indeed that person's resting place." Chen Yang nodded.
"When we flew in earlier, I was only focused on protecting Xiao Yan and didn't notice carefully. Looking at it now, this should be a Small World. That person was truly exceptionally talented, being able to open up a Small World with a Dou Zun cultivation. Although the area isn't large, combined with the toxic miasma outside, it is indeed a 'treasured land'." Yao Lao said with a sigh of emotion.
"Now that Yao Lao mentions it, I've also noticed that this place is indeed very suitable for Xian'er to Cultivate!" Chen Yang nodded.
This Small World was isolated from the world. Given the horror of that toxic miasma, even a Peak Dou Zong without a Heavenly Flame might die here.
