Chapter 189: Crystal Pills and Poison Pills!
In the Refining Valley, Xiao Yi Xian, dressed in a pale purple-white dress, stared at Jiang Lin, who was cultivating in a faint purple flame, feeling his increasingly powerful aura. A complex and dim light flashed in her light purple eyes.
"Xiao Yi Xian!" Sensing her arrival, Jiang Lin slowly ended his cultivation and flashed a brilliant smile at her.
"You said you wanted to become an alchemist, right? I've found a very powerful alchemist for you to be your teacher!" Jiang Lin excitedly shared the good news with Xiao Yi Xian.
Xiao Yi Xian was slightly stunned when she heard this, looking at Jiang Lin's excited expression. Her eyes flickered a few times, then she smiled gently and softly said, "Really? Is it this person? But I don't have the talent to be an alchemist."
Xiao Yan, who had temporarily stopped his cultivation, opened his eyes and saw the white-dressed girl ahead. He was momentarily stunned, quickly putting on a robe to cover his bare upper body, then awkwardly smiled at Xiao Yi Xian, "No, no, no, you should call me senior brother. Hello, junior sister. My name is Xiao Yan."
Given the relationship between Xiao Yan and Jiang Lin, even though Xiao Yi Xian was just a registered disciple of Yao Chen, she would forever be Xiao Yan's junior sister.
"Huh?" When Xiao Yi Xian heard Xiao Yan call her junior sister, a trace of confusion passed through her beautiful light purple eyes. Then, she quickly noticed a faint white soul body, about two meters tall, rising from Xiao Yan's body. The soul body had white hair, yet looked young and handsome, while Xiao Yi Xian, with her white hair, stood beside it, creating a striking contrast between teacher and disciple. The sight made Xiao Yan seem like an unexpected figure.
Yao Chen, disguised as an old ghost with fiery hair, noticed the surprised expression on Xiao Yi Xian's face, glanced at her white hair, then looked at his own long white hair. He quietly fell into thought. Suddenly, he realized that Xiao Yi Xian and he seemed to share a special bond in terms of appearance?
Shaking his head lightly to clear his thoughts, Yao Chen gently smiled at the stunned white-haired girl, "Your teacher is me. How about it? Are you interested in becoming my disciple?"
Xiao Yi Xian's eyes narrowed slightly. She had never seen a ghost before, but from the stories she'd heard from the mercenaries, she knew that those who could form a complete soul body were terrifyingly powerful beings during their lives!
"...But, senior... I don't have the talent for alchemy," Xiao Yi Xian hesitated, her light purple eyes dimming slightly as her voice lowered.
However, the next moment, she felt a warm large hand pat her shoulder. Instinctively, she looked up and saw Jiang Lin's bright smile, "Talent isn't an issue for me. If the talent isn't enough now, I can help you later."
Yao Chen also chuckled, "I'm more concerned about your temperament than your talent. Talent, I don't care about, since I'm only responsible for teaching."
Xiao Yi Xian felt the warmth of the hand on her shoulder, and her light purple eyes blinked as a gleam of light flickered. She gave a soft, gentle smile and said, "Hmm."
"Now, little girl, do you want to become my disciple?" Yao Chen continued.
"Master, please accept me as your disciple!" Xiao Yi Xian did not hesitate, and in the approving gaze of Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan, she performed the traditional disciple's bow to Yao Chen's soul body.
"Alright, get up. We don't have that many rules here. This 'Xuantian Poison Scripture' is for you." Yao Chen helped Xiao Yi Xian up, then, under Jiang Lin's eager gaze, he took out a black-purple scroll, lifting it with his soul power and placing it in front of Xiao Yi Xian.
"Why are you looking at me?" Yao Chen casually glanced at Jiang Lin, who was staring at him intently, and explained, "The Cursed Poison Body can't be suppressed. Since she started practicing poison techniques from somewhere, her Cursed Poison Body has already begun to activate."
"This year's detoxification is just a temporary suppression. Eventually, it will erupt."
"Nine barriers won't work as well as one gap. As long as it's properly guided, within the next five years, her Cursed Poison Body won't erupt. By then, if she collects three kinds of exotic flames, she will be qualified to refine Cursed Poison Pills."
Jiang Lin was slightly silent after hearing this, then he felt Xiao Yi Xian gently tugging at his sleeve. He glanced at her stubborn eyes and sighed, "Alright."
"The Xuantian Poison Scripture is a ground-tier technique. Normally, little girl, you wouldn't be able to cultivate it, but the Cursed Poison Body can bypass those restrictions."
"But there's one thing you need to remember: Don't take poison powder directly. Refine it into poison pills first. Medicine and poison are inseparable, and taking poison pills will stabilize your Cursed Poison Body while more steadily improving your cultivation." Since he had accepted Xiao Yi Xian as a disciple, Yao Chen began to teach her accordingly.
Compared to Xiao Yan, Yao Chen's attitude towards Xiao Yi Xian was much gentler. Xiao Yan was his official disciple, almost like a son, so he was much stricter. But Xiao Yi Xian was different—she was his alchemy disciple, almost like a daughter.
At first, Yao Chen didn't want to waste time on Xiao Yi Xian, but now, since there was real "fate," Yao Chen no longer hesitated and truly considered her his personal disciple.
And as a world-renowned alchemist, Yao Chen's teaching skills were excellent. For example, when addressing Xiao Yi Xian's problem, he didn't just see her as an alchemist but instead focused on helping her down the path of becoming a poison pill master.
Alchemists weren't suitable for Xiao Yi Xian from the start. Yao Chen understood this, so he built a special path for her as a poison pill master based on her unique attributes.
"Ah, there's an old saying: Never meet a weapon refiner, because once you do, you'll become unlucky." In the Refining Valley, Yao Chen looked at Jiang Lin and Xiao Yan, who were cultivating in the distance, then turned back to personally teach Xiao Yi Xian alchemy.
"Why would the teacher say that?" Xiao Yi Xian, who was carefully learning the pharmacology Yao Chen had taught her, looked up with her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.
"Why? It's simple. Originally, I didn't think of having you refine poison pills. After all, they're not something you can eat."
Yao Chen shook his head and continued, "But Jiang Lin learned some alchemical techniques from me and then managed to refine a body-cleansing crystal pill with a strange effect."
"So, teacher, now I'm actually curious to see what other interesting special pills you'll come up with in the future."
