And in this Small World, because of the long-term presence of those poisonous flowers and herbs as well as the Netherworld Poison Flame, even the air was filled with pois. After thousands of years, that lake is filled with pure poison-attribute energy." Xiao Yi Xian looon.
"Husband, that lake is not just simple lake waterked at the deep blue lake behind her and said with a smile.
"There's such a thing?" Chen Yang looked surprised. "Then this is your lucky break, Xian'er. Later, we'll take all these poisonous flowers and herbs, as well as that lake water. For a long time, you won't lack cultivation resources!"
Xiao Yan and Qing Lin also nodded. They all knew that Chen Yang possessed a high-grade storage ring. With its capacity, although it couldn't hold the entire lake, taking half of it wouldn't be a problem.
"Husband... I... I have something I want to discuss with you!" However, just as Chen Yang finished speaking and Xiao Yan and Qing Lin had agreed with his suggestion, Xiao Yi Xian spoke up somewhat hesitantly.
"What is it? Tell me!" Chen Yang smiled and reached out to pinch Xiao Yi Xian's face. Xiao Yan's teeth itched at the sight; these two were just stuffing them with 'dog food,' damn it.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang affectionately and said after a few seconds of hesitation, "I... I plan to stay here and... temporarily not leave with you, husband!"
Hearing this, Chen Yang fell silent. Qing Lin and Xiao Yan were startled; they wanted to persuade her, but seeing that Chen Yang didn't speak, they also kept their mouths shut.
*Gulp...* Chen Yang was silent for a few seconds, then swallowed and looked at Xiao Yi Xian. "Have you really decided?"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently. "This place... I can't just say it suits me; it's simply tailor-made for me. If I stay here, I should be able to Breakthrough to Dou Zong within a year. At that time, I will have the ability to help you."
Chen Yang really wanted to say that he didn't need Xiao Yi Xian's help, but the words were swallowed back down as they reached his lips.
Xiao Yi Xian had always been a person with her own ideas. It was just that for over a year, she had always been accommodating him because of the Calamity Poison Body issue. Now that she had solved the problem and wanted to become stronger to help him, what reason did he have to keep her tied to his side?
"Kid Chen, although I am an outsider, from a long-term perspective, this place is indeed incredibly suitable for Xiao Yi Xian to Cultivate." Yao Lao didn't know that Chen Yang had already made a decision, so he analyzed it for him from a supportive perspective. "Moreover, if the Calamity Poison Body is discovered by the powerhouses of the continent before it has fully developed, at best, Xiao Yi Xian will be captured and her poison body stripped away; at worst, a Dou Sheng might personally step in to kill her."
"If your authority within your Family is not enough to influence the Clan Chief's decisions, then... it is better not to bring Xiao Yi Xian onto a larger stage for the time being!" Yao Lao looked at Chen Yang and said again.
"I... I understand!" Chen Yang sighed, then turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian. After a moment of silence, he reached out his hand to her small face.
The delicate feeling against his hand was no different from yesterday, but at this moment, Chen Yang felt like he could never get enough of touching this jade-like face.
"Husband, please rest easy. As your wife, it will be one year at the shortest and two years at the longest, but I will definitely go to find you." Xiao Yi Xian looked at Chen Yang, referring to herself as his wife for the first time.
"One year at most. If you don't come to find me, I will personally come to get you!" Chen Yang reached out and pulled Xiao Yi Xian into his arms, speaking softly.
These words meant that Chen Yang had agreed to Xiao Yi Xian's decision.
"Thank you for your understanding, husband. Xian'er is also very reluctant to leave you, but... I must become strong!" Xiao Yi Xian hugged Chen Yang's waist, seemingly reminiscing about their earlier passion, a blush flashing across her face.
"I know!" Chen Yang nodded. After the two were intimate for a moment, Chen Yang released her and turned to look at the large pile of poisonous herbs and flowers.
"With my current Alchemy Skill, I can at most refine Peak Seventh-Rank poison pills. Since there are relevant medicinal herbs here, before I leave, I will refine all these poisonous herbs and flowers into Medicinal Pills for you." Chen Yang said.
"Thank you, husband!" Xiao Yi Xian nodded, her eyes full of emotion.
"Haven't you always wanted to be an Alchemist? Now that you already possess a Heavenly Flame, you can try refining Medicinal Pills." Chen Yang reached out to rub Xiao Yi Xian's white hair and said softly. Then he looked at Yao Lao. "Yao Lao, I'll have to trouble you to teach Xian'er for the next few days!"
Yao Lao gave a bearded smile. "Teaching a few more disciples is still teaching. To be able to teach the only Calamity Poison Body on the Fighting Qi Continent alchemy is also my honor!"
Xiao Yi Xian nodded and gave Yao Lao a graceful bow... Over the next few days, Xiao Yan assisted Chen Yang, and the two refined most of the remaining forty-plus acres of poisonous flowers and herbs into poison pills. Only the last three acres remained. Those three acres of poisonous flowers were all medicinal herbs for refining Eighth Grade poison pills. Although Chen Yang could try with his current Alchemy Skill and Soul Power, he felt that he might not be able to withstand the Pill Lightning of an Eighth Grade Pill, so he gave up.
Xiao Yi Xian's progress was also rapid. In just a few days, she successfully refined a first-grade Medicinal Pill. Of course, this was related to her strength as a One-Star Dou Huang and her Soul Power at the Late Stage of the Mortal Realm. Additionally, she had been influenced by what she saw and heard when Chen Yang refined pills, so as a beginner in alchemy, her progress was naturally swift.
"With your Soul Power, Xiao Yi Xian, you might be able to become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist in the future!" Yao Lao said with a smile.
"I hope your words come true!" Xiao Yi Xian said with a chuckle... As the refining of the poison pills was completed, it was officially time for the few of them to part ways.
Chen Yang planned to go to the Black-Corner Region to get the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill and the map fragment of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, and Xiao Yan also had to rush back to Jia Nan Academy, so time was very tight.
After Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin shared some private whispers, Qing Lin pulled Chen Yang's hand with a red face and stood in the air, looking at Xiao Yi Xian who was waving at them.
"Husband, Brother Yan, Yao Lao, please take care!"
"Qing Lin, don't forget what I told you!"
Xiao Yi Xian waved and shouted to the few of them.
"Xian'er, pay attention to your safety while you Cultivate, and be extra careful!" Chen Yang exhorted.
"Sister-in-law Xiao Yixian, these are some ordinary medicinal herbs I scavenged. Keep them to practice with!" Xiao Yan also gave his gift.
"Lass Xian, these are the notes I wrote for those below the level of a Fifth-Grade Alchemist. Study them well yourself!" Yao Lao also gave a gift.
Xiao Yi Xian looked at the few people who were so good to her, a wave of warmth flashing through her heart, and her determination to work hard to improve her strength became even firmer.
"Husband, rest assured, I will definitely come to find you, definitely!" Xiao Yi Xian said with a face full of determination.
"Mm... I have always believed in you. Goodbye..."
"Goodbye..."
