--- Chapter 207 ---
A year passed quickly. Leaves and snow swept away, giving way to a brand new day.
Nothing significant happened in Wu Tan City, except for the fact that the Xiao Clan now has a genius child named Xiao Yan. He has reached the 7-Star Dou Disciple Realm at six and is even showing signs of condensing the Dou Qi cycle, which has left everyone astonished.
According to the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yan is the fastest person in the clan to reach this realm in a hundred years.
However, unknown to the entire city, Xiao Yan's achievements are not as impressive as they seem, as there are even more monstrous geniuses in a secluded courtyard on Primer Commercial Street.
...
...
"Brother, it's time for breakfast." A youthful yet lively voice echoed in the courtyard. "Stop cultivating already, I made your favorite honey-glazed boar ribs."
A young girl walked into the courtyard. She was wearing a purple and white robe, and her long white hair was tied in a low ponytail, with some locks hanging on each side of her head, framing her fair and adorable face.
Not far away, a handsome boy sat under a peach tree. He leaned against the tree, enjoying the breeze that the new day brought, with a half-eaten peach in his hand. He dressed in a dark blue martial robe with a tailcoat, and he hadn't styled his spiky long hair in the slightest. Even so, he was still charming despite his young age.
"Ah, you're actually eating a peach! It will ruin your appetite!" Xiao Yixian pointed at Han Yuan with frustration on her pouting face.
Han Yuan flashed a playful smile, "You sound more like an older sister, and I thought I was the older one."
"Then, act like one!" Xiao Yixian huffed, snatching the peach and eating it before Han Yuan could snatch it back.
Nom! Nom!
"Also, Brother. You're only a few months older than me!"
"..." Han Yuan saw this adorable girl acting like this and shook his head speechlessly.
Then, Han Yuan was dragged into the house to eat breakfast.
While eating, Han Yuan sneaked a few glances at Xiao Yixian and noticed the sorrowful girl had become more cheerful in a year. Of course, not only that, but she also became more powerful.
With the help of Sky Poison Pearl's ability to purify and refine poison, Xiao Yixian's Woeful Poison Body is awakening gradually. She has reached 10% awakening, and her current realm of cultivation is that of a 5-Star Dou Master.
That's right, Xiao Yixian has reached the 5-Star Dou Master Realm at the mere age of six!
If the people of Wu Tan City knew this, there would be an uproar.
Truthfully, Xiao Yixian's cultivation realm could have been higher, but the Dou Technique Han Yuan made for her requires a very pure, controlled Dou Qi.
After all, a stable foundation is everything in the cultivation world. Even though Woeful Poison Body doesn't seem to have a bottleneck, neither Han Yuan nor Xiao Yixian wanted to gamble on it erupting.

[Name: Xiao Yixian]
[Age: 6 years old]
[Race: Human]
[Talent: Doctor of Disaster (Innate)]
[Physique: Woeful Poison Body (10% Awakened)]
[Physical Strength: Dou Master (7-Star]
[Soul Force: Mortal State (2nd Level)]
[Cultivation Realm: Dou Master (5-Star)]
[Fighting Prowess: Dou Grandmaster (2-Star)]
[Cultivation Technique: Nine Yin Mysterious Force (Inner), Frigid Ice Jade Body Forging Art (Outer), Silver Crane Silent Dance (Movement), Heavenly Demon Eyes (Pupil/Mental), Thousand Hidden Weapons Control (Poison-based)]
[Description: Xiao Yixian is an unfortunate girl who possesses the Woeful Poison Body. After a terrible fate she suffered, which left her alone in this world, battered, and directionless. Someone extended his hand to her and was even willing to treat and protect her like a family member. Although she still felt guilt deep in her heart, she had taken a few steps in her life and had become lively again. My brother is the best, no one can touch my brother, brother is mine~!!!]
...
[Nine Yin Mysterious Force]
[An inner cultivation technique based on "Mysterious Heaven Skill" that cultivates a mellow and neutral energy within one's body, and modified to allow the practitioner to refine all things into "Yin" instead and strengthen and fix the wielder's heavy Yin physique, possibly making her a true god eventually]
[Warning: This technique was tailor-made to control Woeful Poison Body, which is Yin in nature, and is 'extremely' not recommended for others to cultivate, especially males. If not, the males may lose their Yang forever and experience many side effects, such as Erectile Dysfunction, etc.]
[BOYS, I AM NOT JOKING!]
[Unless...]
...
[Frigid Ice Jade Body Forging Art]
[A body refining technique inspired by the "Mysterious Jade Hand" of the Tang Sect. Modified to its fundamental structure and incorporates several body-enhancing Dou Techniques that possess "Yin" and "Cold" qualities to the extreme. This technique consumed the Woeful Poison Body while transforming the practitioner's body into as beautiful as ice jade and just as strong. As a result, their bodies become invulnerable to weapons and poisons.]
...
[Silver Crane Silent Dance]
[A movement technique that is both graceful and lethal. It allows the practitioner to continually burst with speed and gain momentum while remaining hidden for a decisive strike.]
...
[Heavenly Demon Eyes]
[A mental and pupil refining technique, which absorbs the energy of the sun and the moon, and starts to transform one's mind into a pair of majestic eyes that understand and break down the very details of the world]
...
[Thousand Hidden Weapons Control]
[A Dou Technique of poison attribute, capable of weaponizing anything the practitioner touches into deadly projectiles. Unpredictable and can penetrate through even the hardest defense]
...
...
Seeing Xiao Yixian's luxurious status panel, Han Yuan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. All his effort was not in vain.
While Xiao Yixian hasn't fully mastered her Woeful Poison Body, it will gradually happen once she advances her Nine Yin Mysterious Force and Frigid Ice Jade Body Forging Art. These inner and outer cultivation arts were separated into ten levels, corresponding to Dou Qi Cultivation Realms.
She's currently at the third stage of both techniques, and once she breaks through the fourth stage, Woeful Poison Body wouldn't be a problem anymore.
Unlike traditional Dou Techniques, these new methods are 'easily' seen as a form of cheating because they use a loophole of either innate talent or even absorbing worldly energy to bless oneself.
Han Yuan's vast understanding of various cultivation techniques enabled him to create a cultivation art that not only proved highly effective but also enhanced one's abilities and gradually transformed a person into a god.
In fact, the "Mysterious Heaven Skill" is a cheat on its own, and being based on it, Xiao Yixian's Nine Yin Mysterious Force is quite literally a Heaven-Tier Dou Technique!
To make a comparison, BTTH's protagonist cultivated a yellow-grade Dou Technique named "Flame Mantra," which he learned from his teacher.
It is a growth-type Dou Technique that can grow by devouring Heavenly Flame.
So, Flame Mantra is a gradual change, but Nine Yin Mysterious Force is already at its peak in terms of efficiency. Then, again, only Xiao Yixian could cultivate such an overbearing technique due to her Woeful Poison Body.
Of course, Nine Yin Mysterious Force is not perfect by any means.
Even then, Han Yuan was confident he could fix the technique if there were any problems.
Honestly, the more Han Yuan lives in the Dou Qi Continent, the more he realizes how vast cultivation can be. Being here is like opening a floodgate for him.
The cultivation techniques he read in the novels can be realized here, provided that the formula, logic, and foundation are appropriate.
It couldn't help but make him sigh.
Compared to other cultivation worlds, the Douluo Continent truly lacks a foundation and is immature in terms of the cultivation system.
Additionally, Han Yuan couldn't be more thankful for receiving the legacy of an Immortal and Heavenly Book from the Primal Chaos Dimension, which broadened his vision even before he arrived at the Dou Qi Continent.
If Han Yuan didn't have these foundations, he would struggle because he could only find low-level Dou Techniques.
"Brother, why are you dazing around? Eat!" Xiao Yixian pouted, putting more honey-glazed ribs on Han Yuan's plate.
Han Yuan blinked in surprise before chuckling, "Alright, alright."
"Yixian, do you want to go outside for a bit?"
"Hmm, what for?" Xiao Yixian used to be a homegirl. She prefers staying home and cuddling with her brother.
"Treasure hunting." Han Yuan winked at her playfully. He already bought some information about Qingshan Town and wanted to look for the Poison Master's inheritance inside a cliff near that area.
He needed a Flying Dou Technique for his next research.
