Two sets of eyes met across the pond, its surface lightly veiled in mist. After a moment, Xiao Yan finally regained his composure, noticing Xiao Yishen's flushed cheeks. He cleared his throat vigorously, then quickly shifted his gaze. The sound of his cough pulled Xiao Yishen from the subtle dizziness that had been lingering in her mind. With her bare, delicate form resembling a mermaid, she plunged into the stone pool with a soft *plunk*, her alluring figure fully submerged beneath the dark water. Seeing the ripples spreading across the stone pool, Xiao Yan felt a touch of embarrassment—this truly had nothing to do with him. His internal qi had just finished circulating, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself faced with this scene. *Plunk!* As Xiao Yan felt embarrassed, a ripple passed through the water nearby his position, and then a still slightly flushed, graceful head emerged from the pool. However, at this moment, the young physician only revealed her head, while the rest of her body remained concealed beneath the dark pool water. The young physician's cheeks still carried a faint blush, exuding a delicate, youthful charm. Should any of the toxic sect's elders witness this, they would surely be stunned—perhaps even drop their chins in surprise—given that the famed female prodigy of the Heavenly Toxic Sect, renowned for her formidable reputation that could send even the most seasoned warriors fleeing, now appeared so tender and modest. Xiao Yan dryly chuckled, adjusting his head slightly, suddenly feeling a bit constrained—standing in the pool with a woman completely naked before him was something he had never experienced in his life. Observing Xiao Yan's rare sense of awkwardness, Xiao Yishen couldn't help but smile gently, then softly chuckled. As the beautiful, soft smile spread across his face, Xiao Yan was momentarily spellbound—so tender and familiar, just as it had been when they first met in Qingshan Town. "You look better when you smile," Xiao Yan said softly. Xiao Yishen was momentarily startled, then lowered her eyelids slightly. A delicate, jade-like arm emerged from the pool, gently brushing the water as she spoke softly, "In the Chuyun Empire, I am known as the Lady of Heavenly Poison. But as long as the隐患 of my difficult poison body remains, I will never be able to come into contact with anyone. The longer the time between us before the poison erupts, the less damage it causes. The shorter the interval, the greater the harm it inflicts upon those close to me." Staring at the young healer with a faint bitterness at the corner of her lips, Xiao Yan sighed softly and said, "Rest assured. I will do my best to find the materials needed to control the厄难 toxic body. Once you can fully master it, all the problems will naturally resolve themselves." The young healer smiled slightly, then fortified her spirit, her slender arms flowing gracefully like a mermaid, slowly approaching Xiao Yan. Her beautiful eyes focused on the magical-toxic spot on his chest, nodding gently. "The spread of the magical-toxic spot has slowed considerably. Given the potency of this toxic water, shouldn't the effect be more pronounced?" "The异fire is indeed remarkable—it even manages to suppress the magical toxins inflicted by a Douzong-level master. It truly is the most coveted and powerful force on the continent..." Xiao Yixian nodded in mild astonishment, then murmured thoughtfully, "However, this still isn't sufficient. Next, I will use my body as a conduit, guiding the toxins from the pool through me, and then precisely control them to fully suppress the magical toxins. This should give you enough time to seek out a Douzong-level master to heal you." Xiao Xin nodded slightly, speaking seriously, "Then, I shall be most grateful." "Is this really so formal?" Xiao Yixian glanced at Xiao Xin with a slightly scolding expression, her cheeks gently turning a rosy hue, and softly said, "Close your eyes. Do not open them without my permission!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xin understood and chuckled lightly, gradually closing his eyes. Seeing Xiao Yan close his eyes, Xiao Yishen finally exhaled in relief, gently swaying her hand before him, then lightly biting her lower lip before slowly standing up from the pool. Her bare, porcelain-soft body emerged from the water, the dark liquid flowing smoothly along the alluring curves of her form, finally dripping into the pool and creating gentle ripples. Fully exposed to Xiao Yan’s closed eyes, even though he was now blindfolded, Xiao Yishen still felt her cheeks blazing with heat, as if on fire. Taking several deep breaths, she forced down the unusual sensation within her. With a subtle movement of her hand, a faint suction emanated from her body, forming a small vortex at the center of the pool’s surface. As the vortex spun faster, strands of dark toxic liquid suddenly merged into her body, then flowed through her under her control, finally coalescing into the slender tips of her fingers. At that moment, her delicate fingers, as pure and smooth as jade, turned to a deep black. The young physician's face grew serious, and with a jade finger, she gently pressed her nail against the already blackened tip of her finger. As the nail lightly touched the spot, a peculiarly bright crimson drop of blood emerged—instead of falling, it adhered firmly to the physician's fingertip, like a glaring, tiny bead of blood. Gazing at this drop, the young physician's expression grew increasingly grave. This blood was the most terrifying of her body's toxic elements—the Eran Poison—so potent that even Scorpion Bi Yao, a Douzong-level cultivator, had perished from it. It was clear just how severe the poison's effects were. Taking a deep, steady breath, she focused her spirit intensely. After a moment, her slender finger slowly moved, finally settling on the spot where the magical poison patch was located on Xiao Yan's chest. Pausing slightly, she then suddenly bit down hard on her silver teeth, and with a sudden burst of energy, swiftly moved her hand. As the little physician's fingers danced, slender black threads jetted out from her fingertips, eventually weaving intricate, strange symbols around the area of the magical toxin spot. Each time the threads were emitted, a droplet of厄难toxic blood clinging to her fingertip adhered a trace of blood to the symbol. As the black threads wound around the spot, the magical toxin spot seemed to sense something, and suddenly, countless venomous lines burst forth like arrows, shooting toward the surrounding symbols. "Hmph!" Upon observing the change in the magical toxin spot, the little physician snorted, accelerating the speed of her finger movements, and the symbols' threads grew increasingly viscous. The venomous lines struck the thick symbols and were instantly deflected back. Seeing the magical toxin spot's attack fail to penetrate, the little physician exhaled in relief. Yet, just as she was about to complete the symbols, the magical toxin spot suddenly erupted with a massive, thick black thread—wide enough to match the diameter of her thumb! Faced with this fierce assault from the Mudo Spots, Xiao Yi Xian's expression also tightened slightly, her delicate fingers moving faster and faster, until they seemed to leave a series of faint afterimages. The intense black lines of poison struck the incantation instantly, but this time they were not bounced back—they were instead powerfully driven through, thanks to a vast surge of qi embedded within the lines. Under the force of this qi, the black lines tore through the incantation with raw strength, eventually taking on the form of a fierce, serpentine creature, surging outward beyond the symbol. The intensely toxic black thread struck firmly against the network of countless black lines, slightly tinged with a crimson hue, and gradually slowed down its momentum. After a few breaths, it finally went completely rigid just as it was about to breach the seal. Yet, Xiao Yisheng did not relax—she swiftly moved her fingers, intent on fully locking the seal in place. As her hand gestures were about to take effect, the completely solidified toxic thread suddenly contracted like a cannon barrel, then, with a soft hiss, a fine thread of blackness burst forth and pierced through the final layer of the seal. At the very moment this thread broke through, Xiao Yisheng completed her hand seal, and a surge of bright crimson light erupted from the surrounding symbols, sealing the magical and toxic spots within. With the seal fully established, Xiao Yisheng noticed the fleeing thread of toxic blackness and her face subtly changed. And as she was about to deploy another technique to destroy this fleeing thread of magical toxin, she was surprised to find that the temperature of Xiao Yan's body had suddenly intensified, and a subtle green flame began to form around the writhing black line, tightly encircling it as if aiming to absorb and transform it. Under the intense blaze of this green flame, the black line surged violently, and the substantial qi it contained started to become evident. "Indeed, this person intends to absorb and utilize the qi within this thread of magical toxin?" Upon witnessing this, Xiao Yixian's eyes flashed with astonishment, then a sense of relief settled in her heart. While Xiao Yan's unique inner flame was unlikely to fully assimilate the entire magical toxin pattern, it clearly possessed the ability to absorb and transform individual, escaping toxin threads. Though this thread of magical toxin is quite fine, the qi it contains is remarkably refined. If it can be fully absorbed, it would indeed enhance his strength. This person—how bold they are!
