In the secluded valley, Xiao Jian and Xiao Yi Xian each focused on their own path...one cultivating Dou Qi, the other studying the Poison Manual.
Sometimes when one was completely absorbed, the other would prepare meals, showing quiet care without interference.
Xiao Jian's expanded wooden house had three sections:
two private rooms for each of them, and a shared area where they could rest or chat when tired from training.
Living under the same roof had gradually built trust between them.
Of course, Xiao Yi Xian still couldn't let go of her desire to poison Xiao Jian, occasionally bringing it up.
Xiao Jian merely smiled in response.
With the protection of his rare fire, he truly wasn't afraid of her poisons.
But he hadn't revealed this fact yet...otherwise, it would dampen her enthusiasm for studying poisons.
In half a month, Xiao Jian advanced to a Six-Star Dou Zhe, and another half month saw him reach Seven-Star Dou Zhe.
Such terrifying speed left Xiao Yi Xian wide-eyed.
Now she understood why Xiao Jian could attain such power at sixteen or seventeen, and still have time to learn other skills.
Who could level up twice in one month?
Of course, Xiao Yi Xian's presence helped. The valley's abundant energy and the plentiful herbs greatly aided Xiao Jian's cultivation.
Previously, consuming and refining the rare fire didn't promote him, but it condensed his Dou Qi significantly.
Now, he absorbed energy recklessly, pushing himself to the extreme.
At this pace, in two months he could attempt to break into the Dou Shi tier.
Xiao Yi Xian, however, seemed affected as well....she had been obsessively studying the Seven-Colored Poison Manual for days.
"Xiao Yi Xian, time to eat!"
Xiao Jian knocked on her door.
"Oh."
A voice replied from inside, and Xiao Yi Xian opened the door and stepped out.
"So many dishes!"
Her eyes brightened at the sight of the full table.
"Hehe, I wanted to talk to you too."
Xiao Jian smiled.
What's up?"
Xiao Yi Xian didn't hold back, eating while speaking.
"In two months, I'll be leaving. I have matters to attend to and will go deep into the Beast Mountains to train. I may return to check in occasionally."
Xiao Jian spoke seriously.
Xiao Yi Xian paused, then replied indifferently, "Oh, suit yourself."
"What about you? Any plans?"
Xiao Jian asked gently.
"Nothing much. I'll travel the continent when free, but no rush. I won't be returning to the Wan Yao Zhai anyway."
She pursed her lips, displaying disdain. Without personal strength, she would never submit to Mr. Yao, who wasn't trustworthy.
"Traveling the continent sounds good, but I still have many tasks, so I can't go with you."
Xiao Jian nodded, expressing slight regret.
Who said I'd go with you?"
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes glared, face playfully fierce.
"Hehe."
Xiao Jian laughed at her cute, stubborn expression.
"Hmph!"
She pouted, grabbing her bowl and eating quickly...determined to finish all the food before him.
"When traveling, remember to hide your identity as a poison master, or your journey will be lonely."
Xiao Jian watched Xiao Yi Xian sulk in her own way, shaking his head, then said seriously:
"It can't be helped. Eventually, your identity will be known."
A shadow passed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. She had learned about the Toxic Body.
Xiao Jian's heart stirred.
"Alright, when we meet again, I hope you can poison me.....but I doubt you will succeed."
He smiled lightly.
"Hmph, just wait. I'll poison you with a wave of my hand! You'll see!"
Her eyelashes trembled, teeth clenched in determination.
"Anyway, I'll warn you now...if you fail, I won't go easy on you."
Xiao Jian quietly set the trap.
"I'll poison you for sure!"
Xiao Yi Xian didn't look at him, focusing on her meal.
"Hehe."
Xiao Jian smiled, then grabbed his bowl and began competing with her for the food.
