They couldn't leave any uneaten; Xiao Yi Xian, though small, had a large appetite and quickly ate half the meal.
Xiao Jian talked a little, fearing the rest might disappear.
"Don't steal from me!"
"I will!"
"Can't you be a lady?"
"Ladies starve!"
Five weeks later.
Xiao Jian stepped out of his room, eyes clear and bright.
He had reached Nine-Star Dou Zhe.
Yet he wasn't rushing to break into Dou Shi. Absorbing energy nonstop, it was time to refine his Dou Qi.
Also, his new Dou Skills and the rare fire still needed mastering.
"All these require serious training."
"Xiao Yi Xian, remember to heat your lunch. I'm going to train my Dou Skills!"
He knocked on her door, then stepped out. Purple Cloud Wings activated, lifting him high.
Surveying the valley, he spotted a secluded corner perfect for Dou Skill practice.
With a flap of his wings, he flew there, landing smoothly and retracting his wings.
He executed a Wind Hawk Kick, leaving a massive circular depression in the mountain.
"Not bad at all!"
Landing steadily, joy gleamed in his eyes.
Though the Wind Hawk Kick was only a Yellow-Grade Advanced skill, combined with aerial Dou Qi wings, it reached the level of a Mystic-Grade Dou Skill.
The faster the speed, the greater the damage.
Now, it was time to rehearse his mastered Dou Skills.
Xiao Jian flipped his hand; the Black Iron Spear appeared.
He unleashed a series of attacks on the unsuspecting mountain wall.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The valley corner echoed
with continuous explosions.
Wild Lion Roar!"
In the valley, Xiao Jian roared. Blue wind-attributed Dou Qi condensed at the spear tip, forming a massive energy lion that charged forward with a furious roar, shaking the small world around him.
"Ha!"
With a deep shout, the spear pierced forward.
The energy lion slammed into the cliff, leaving a huge crater. Rocks tumbled, and the mountain trembled.
"Not as powerful as the Mystic Ice Spiral, but much faster."
Xiao Jian watched the falling rocks, nodding with satisfaction.
He then flipped his hand, summoning a black-and-white intertwined flame in his palm.
Yin-Yang Twin Flames.
Yang fire heals, endlessly nurturing; Yin fire kills, leaving no trace.
In battle, Yang fire can explode with terrifying force, even ignoring Dou Qi defenses to ignite the opponent's Yang energy.
When saving someone, Yin fire can penetrate deeply to roast internal toxins, capable of countering stubborn poisons like bone-embedded toxins.
More advanced uses require understanding the essence of Yin and Yang.....something Xiao Jian had yet to reach.
For now, he only grasped the dual-cultivation methods balancing Yin and Yang.
"Hehe, back home!"
Feeling his Dou Qi more condensed than half a month ago, Xiao Jian ended today's training early.
Purple Cloud Wings activated, lifting him toward the wooden house.
Once inside, he habitually used spiritual perception to scan the surroundings.
Xiao Yi Xian was inside. She hadn't gone to collect herbs today.
Studying the Seven-Colored Poison Manual required many ingredients.
Usually, she would collect herbs every two to three days.
It had been four days since her last trip.
Xiao Jian frowned, knocking on the door.
No answer.
Had she really made that choice?
He knocked again, harder.
Still nothing.
"Hmm!"
He exhaled deeply. Dou Qi formed at his fingertips, slicing the door bolt in half, and he pushed the door open.
"Cough! Cough!"
A wave of thick smoke hit him immediately. The scent was pungent, strange, and overwhelming.
Xiao Yi Xian lay on the bed. Her normally rosy face shimmered with strange seven-colored hues, but she showed no pain.
In her jade-like hand rested a small pouch of black powder.
Xiao Jian approached cautiously, sniffing the powder.
"Ugh!"
Dizziness struck him, and he retched.
Quickly, he activated his rare fire to neutralize the tiny dose, then removed the pouch and wiped her fingers and mouth of black powder.
"Such a potent poison!"
He muttered, slightly impressed.
By his estimation, even a Dou Shi would struggle against her toxin.
Looking at the black powder and red-stained lips on the handkerchief, he sighed and tossed it aside.
Picking up the Seven-Colored Poison Manual, he flipped through it.
Skipping the general poison-making sections, he found the relevant content:
*"Toxic Body of Calamity: a rare congenital poison body that can rapidly enhance strength by absorbing poisons.
Identification: a fine seven-colored line appears on the lower abdomen, growing as internal poison strength increases.
When it reaches the heart, the Toxic Body is at its peak....but also experiences excruciating pain from all-consuming poisons."*
Xiao Jian rubbed his temples, slightly troubled.
This Toxic Body resembled his Five Elements Qi Mansion in some ways. Both absorb energy to grow stronger.
But the Toxic Body only draws power from poisons, while Five Elements Qi Mansion can absorb energies from all types of herbs without side effects. Only excessive Dou Qi condensation is required.
For Xiao Jian, with a rare fire, this was easy.
Unfortunately for Xiao Yi Xian, she had chosen this path herself.
Sighing again, Xiao Jian noticed the seven-colored hues fading from her cheeks.
Her tightly shut eyes slowly opened, glancing at her hand.
"?"
Seeing her empty palm, she froze, then a familiar large hand reached out, grasping hers.
Looking up, she saw Xiao Jian's gentle expression.
"Ah! Who let you in, shameless! What are you going to do!"
She screamed, twisting to pull away.
"Ah, no need to act now, right?"
